Our operating environment
A range of influences
characterise the
current operating
environment.
Economies have coped relatively
well with the sharp increases in
interest rates over 2022 and 2023.
Economic activity has slowed, but
recessions have been rare and
shallow. Unemployment in Australia
and New Zealand has only modestly
increased.
The cumulative impact of rising prices and
higher interest rates is sustaining cost of
living pressures for consumers, but
household balance sheets, in aggregate,
are sturdy. Investment plans are generally
robust, but resource availability is a
challenge, not least because of similar
wants across economies. Industrial policy
has become more common, including in
Australia, and is likely to reshape the
structure of economic activity over time
as governments address perceived
supply chain vulnerabilities and prioritise
domestic resilience.
China’s economy is operating on a
different cycle. Growth has moderated
as the economy adjusts to an ageing
demographic and the demand mix
changes. Trade is still growing despite
geopolitical complexities. High commodity
prices are sustaining exports from
Australia and New Zealand. Asian exports
have had a particularly strong year, backed
by renewed strength in technology trade.
The climate transition remains a subtext
to many of these developments. Resource
access challenges feature here as well,
as many economies strive to invest in
renewable energy, building retrofits and
more climate-friendly transport.
2Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report
z
Economic outlook
Growth has slowed, but many central
banks have begun to reduce interest rates.
Inflation has proven to be slightly stickier
in Australia than elsewhere. Australia,
therefore, is likely to follow with a modest
easing cycle of its own, but not until 2025.
Easing cycles are likely to only partially
reverse the sharp interest rate rises of
recent years.
Private sector balance sheets, in general,
are in solid shape, suggesting lower
interest rates are likely to generate
economic traction without needing to be
too vigorous. The supply side of many
economies remains challenged by
influences including ageing workforces,
housing constraints, and the influence of
geopolitics and industry policy on supply
chains. This is also encouraging more
sustained government spending than has
been the case in previous cycles.
Policy in China has been gradually
responding to reduce the risks of a
sharper slowdown. Excessively low
inflation has been the primary
macroeconomic challenge. Further
easing is likely as China adjusts to softer
structural drivers of demand. An ageing
demographic suggests a shift in the mix
of activity over time, including in the
commodity sector. These shifts are likely
to have some permanence.

Risk management
Constant changes and
uncertainties in the
macroeconomic environment,
climate change and evolving
geopolitical tensions continue to
pose challenges to our operating
conditions. We understand that our
customers are similarly affected by
these as well as additional
challenges such as experiencing
increasing fraud
and scams activities. We
continue to strengthen our risk
management framework and
practices to meet such challenges.
External environment
The Group’s financial performance is
closely linked to the political, economic
and financial conditions in the countries
and regions in which ANZ, its customers
and its counterparties carry on business.
The current external environment is
shaped by significant global events
particularly geopolitical conditions and
climate change that impact economic
stability, regulatory environments and
financial markets.

and industrial expansion. These
dynamics are reshaping trade and
investment flows, yet the swift
adaptation of these flows underscores
the resilience of the international
system. ANZ established a Geopolitical
Risk function in 2021, which provides
quarterly updates to key risk
committees, works with country teams
to monitor and manage regional risks,
and this year expanded to provide more
analysis and advice to management on
fast-moving developments.

C
limate risk: In November 2023, the
Board Risk Committee approved climate
risk as a material risk within ANZ’s risk
management framework. Climate risk is
also considered to be a driver of other
risks within our risk management
framework. Work is progressing to
integrate and embed climate risk into
the Group’s risk management
framework through existing policies,
processes and governance frameworks.
It is anticipated that this will be a
multi-year journey, recognising the
complexities and challenges that arise
from an evolving regulatory landscape,
limitations on the availability of and
access to reliable and consistent data,
and the need to uplift systems, tools,
and capability across the Group. For
details on our approach to managing
climate risk and actions we are taking
as part of our Net-Zero Banking Alliance
commitment, refer to our 2024

T
echnology Disruption and Change:
ANZ serves a diverse customer base,
including retail, small business,
corporates, multinational institutions,
and other financial institutions. We tailor
our digital channels and products to
meet their varying needs. Our payments
services process payments in
29 markets and annually we serve more
than 10 million customers, facilitating
over seven billion payments and capital
flows. The pace of change continues
to accelerate driven by the dynamic
regulatory landscape, increased
technology disruption from both
traditional and non-traditional
competitors and industry-driven
changes (such as decommission in
legacy clearing streams (BECS &
Cheques); Confirmation of Payee, faster
payment adoption through Asia–Pacific,
ISO20022). This level of change and
disruption necessitates ongoing
vigilance regarding our enhanced
operational resilience, innovation and
compliance capabilities. We are
continually adapting our processes and
systems to meet these evolving
requirements, ensuring that we remain
agile and responsive to the evolving
regulatory, competitive, customer and
technological demands.
14Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report
In addition, economic instability including
elevated interest rates, inflationary
pressures and higher cost of living
continue to increase financial stress for
some customers. While households and
businesses have been largely resilient to
date, the Board and management
continually monitor these developing
conditions to set appropriate risk criteria
for a range of potential scenarios. We will
continue to carefully manage our capital
and risk appetite settings so we can
continue to support our customers.
Suncorp Bank integration
On 1st August 2024, we welcomed
~3000 Suncorp Bank employees and 1.2
million customers into the ANZ Group. We
believe this acquisition will bring significant
public benefits and create a stronger,
more competitive bank that will better
serve our customers. Suncorp Bank has
a comprehensive risk management
framework and policies that operate
effectively. Through the establishment of
the Suncorp Bank Board, and in line with
commitments made, Suncorp Bank has its
own dedicated Management and Board
Risk Committees. Work is in progress to
ensure a smooth transition of risk
management frameworks and policies,
and effective integration into the ANZ risk
management operating model.
Non-financial risk
During the year APRA required ANZ to
hold an additional operational risk capital
overlay of $250 million (total $750 million)
from 30th September 2024. This increase
was a result of APRA viewing ANZ as
having made insufficient progress in
addressing weaknesses in non-financial
risk management. These concerns were
heightened following a number of recent
issues relating to our Markets business.
While there has been a lot of work already
completed in uplifting our approach to
non-financial risk management, there is
still more to do, and ANZ remains
committed to getting that work done as
soon as possible. This includes the
adoption of a consistent, simplified,
bank-wide methodology and framework,
from a technology, reporting, and culture
perspective.
Financial crime
We maintain a financial crime risk
management program that anticipates
and navigates criminal threats. The
Financial Crime portfolio continues to be
responsible for ensuring that ANZ meets
its regulatory obligations through its
Anti-Fraud Policy, Anti-Money Laundering/
Counter Terrorism Finance and Sanction
Programs for delivering detection,
investigative and intelligence capability
focused on identifying, mitigating, and
managing financial crime risk to help
protect the community. We also maintain
our partnership with the Australian
Transaction Report and Analysis Centre
(AUSTRAC)-led Fintel Alliance to increase
the resilience of the financial sector to
prevent exploitation by criminals, and
support investigations into serious crime
and national security.
Scams
ANZ continues to invest significantly as
part of its fight to help protect customers
and the community from scams and other
financial crimes. In 2024, ANZ has
prevented more than $140 million of
customer funds going to cybercriminals
and total ANZ customer scam losses
decreased compared to the previous year.
This is partly due to increased friction we
have put in place to slow down the
payment process for high-risk payments.
We also rely on our enhanced Falcon
technology to detect more suspicious
transactions.
Our latest measures for ANZ Classic
customers include the introduction of a
dedicated team of specialists who handle
calls about fraud and scams, a new Scam
Scoring model that uses AI to boost our
scam detection, and a Mule Detection
model to detect mule accounts and restrict
the movement of scam proceeds. We also
increased personalised warning messages
on Internet Banking when a transaction or
activity is considered high risk. For ANZ Plus
customers, we introduced a suite of scam
safe features including screen share
protection from scammers, location-based
security, risky-app detection, crypto limits
and active call status to detect coaching
from scammers.
We delivered various education initiatives
to improve scam confidence and service
capability for our bankers and customers.
This included for example, new and
enhanced content on ANZ’s security hub
on anz.com, messages and alerts in ANZ’s
digital channels, and the creation of new
mandated security content for frontline
employees to support customer
engagement on security.
We also added a new scams education
module to ANZ’s flagship financial
education program, MoneyMinded, which
equips community professionals with
resources to support their clients identify
and protect themselves from scams.
Emerging risks
ANZ manages and monitors risks in
accordance with our Risk Management
Framework (RMF). In addition to our material
risks – see below – two emerging risks that
we are paying particular attention to are:
Nature: We consider that our most material
nature risks can arise from lending to
customers that have material impacts and/
or dependencies on nature. These risks
can also arise from legal and regulatory
changes, which may impact ANZ directly or
indirectly through our customers. Failure to
manage these risks may lead to financial
and non-financial risks to ANZ.
We acknowledge the need to protect and
restore nature and mitigate biodiversity loss
including as a result of species extinction or
decline, ecosystem degradation and nature
loss. We are seeking to understand the
impacts and dependencies nature can
have on our customers, including how
customers are managing and mitigating
material risks and impacts.
For details on our approach to managing
nature risk refer to our 2024 Climate–
related Financial Disclosures available at
anz.com/annualreport. Our Climate
Change Commitment is available at
anz.com/esgreport.
Artificial Intelligence (AI): At ANZ, we
recognise the opportunity of using AI to
help shape a better world where
communities thrive. AI has the potential to
drive significant innovation and efficiency
in our operations, leading to enhanced
customer experiences and business
growth. With this opportunity comes the
need to act responsibly to mitigate the
potential risks associated with use of AI.
ANZ is adapting our governance and risk
management frameworks to ensure that
AI is adopted safely, in pace with evolving
regulatory standards and the expectations
of our customers.

Risk culture
Risk culture is an important component
of our organisational culture and
underpins the shared values, behaviours
and practices that influence how risk is
considered in decision making.
ANZ remains committed to strengthening
risk culture, supporting the Group to
meet the evolving expectations of our
customers, the community and
regulators. Having achieved the target
state in 2023, the enterprise’s risk culture
has not met expectations of continuous
improvement in 2024. Notwithstanding
the strength in managing the Group’s
financial risks across credit, market,
capital, and liquidity, regulatory concerns
around our Markets business and
non-financial risk management are
earnestly under review, ensuring learnings
are captured to support improvement of
risk management behaviours and
practices where appropriate.
Risk culture is actively monitored
and driven across the Group through
completion of risk culture plans,
enterprise-wide awareness activities and
the continued focus on delivery of the
Group wide non-financial risk framework.
Risk culture is embedded in annual
performance and remuneration, and
recognition programs such as Risk
Role Models (see section 6 of the
Remuneration Report).
Our Risk Management
Framework (RMF)
The Board is ultimately responsible for
establishing and overseeing the ANZ
Group’s RMF which is supported by the
Group’s underlying systems, structures,
policies, procedures, processes and
people. The Board has delegated authority
to the Board Risk Committee (BRC) to
develop and monitor compliance with
the Group’s risk management policies.
The Committee reports regularly to the
Board on its activities. The key pillars of
our Group RMF include:
•
T
he Risk Management Strategy (RMS)
which is a critical element of the Group’s
RMF. The RMS includes: how the risk
function is structured to support the
Group’s purpose and strategy, and the
execution of the Group Chief Risk
Officer’s prescribed responsibilities as
an Accountable Person under the
Financial Accountability Regime; the
values, attitudes and behaviours that
support risk decision-making in
delivering on strategic priorities and a
Board approved target risk culture; a
description of each material risk; and an
overview of how the RMS addresses
each material risk, with reference to the
relevant policies, standards and
procedures. It also includes information
on how the Group identifies, measures,
evaluates, monitors, reports and
controls or mitigates the material risks
and the oversight mechanism and/or
committees in place.
•
T
he Risk Appetite Statement (RAS),
conveys, for each material risk, the
maximum level of risk the Group is
willing to accept in pursuing its strategic
objectives and its operating plans
considering its shareholders’,
depositors’ and customers’ interests.
•
Risk Principles support the RMF and
outline the behaviours and practices
that are expected to be applied to
guide risk management and help to
instil an appropriate risk culture across
the Group.
The Group operates under the Three
Lines-of-Defence Model. Each line of
defence has clearly defined roles,
responsibilities and escalation paths to
support effective risk management at
ANZ. The three lines of defence model
embeds a culture where risk is
everyone’s responsibility.
The business and enablement functions
form the first lines-of-defence and are
responsible for the implementation and
ongoing maintenance of the RMF
including day-to-day ownership of
risks and controls.
The Risk function forms the second line
of defence, providing independent
oversight of the Group’s risk profile and
RMF, including effective challenge to
activities and decisions that materially
affect the Group’s risk profile and working
with the first line, in developing and
maintaining the RMF.
Internal Audit is the third line of defence,
providing independent evaluation
and objective assurance on the
appropriateness, effectiveness and
adequacy of the Group’s RMF.
The governance and oversight of risk
management, while embedded in
day-to-day activities, is also the focus of
committees and regular forums across
the bank (see diagram next page). The
committees and forums discuss and
monitor known and emerging risks, review
management plans and monitor progress
to address known issues.

The material risks facing the Group per the Group’s RMS, and how these risks are managed, are summarised below.
Risk typeDescriptionManaging the risk
Capital
Adequacy
Risk
The risk of loss arising from the Group failing
to maintain the level of capital required by
prudential regulators and other key stakeholders
(shareholders, debt investors, depositors, rating
agencies, etc.) to support the Group’s
consolidated operations and risk appetite.
We pursue an active approach to Capital
Management, which is designed to protect the
interests of depositors, creditors and shareholders
through ongoing review, and Board approval, of
the level and composition of our capital base
against key policy objectives.
Credit Risk
The risk of financial loss resulting from:
•
A c
ounterparty failing to fulfil its obligations; or
•
A decrease in credit quality of a counterparty
resulting in a loss.
Our Credit Risk framework is top down, being
defined by credit principles, policies and
requirements. Credit policies, requirements and
procedures cover all aspects of the credit life
cycle from initial approval and risk grading,
through to ongoing management and problem
debt management.
Liquidity and
Funding Risk
The risk that the Group is unable to meet its
payment obligations as they fall due, including:
• Repaying depositors or maturing wholesale
debt; or
• The Group having insufficient capacity to
fund increases in assets.
The Group recognises the inherent liquidity
and funding risk in the balance sheet and has
established a set of key principles, to mitigate
and control liquidity and funding risk.
Our framework is top down, being defined by
liquidity principles and policies. A liquidity limit
framework is in place with liquidity limits set based
on a liquidity stress testing framework.
Market Risk
The risk stems from our trading and balance
sheet activities and is the risk to the Group’s
earnings arising from:
•
C
hanges in interest rates, foreign exchange
rates, credit spreads, volatility, correlations; or
•
F
luctuations in bond, commodity or equity
prices.
We have a detailed market risk management and
control framework which includes incorporating an
independent risk measurement approach to
quantify the magnitude of market risk within the
trading and balance sheet portfolios. This
approach identifies the range of possible
outcomes, that can be expected over a given
period of time, and establishes the likelihood of
those outcomes and allocates an appropriate
amount of capital to support these activities.
Strategic Risk
Strategic Risk is defined as the risk that
internal or external factors prevent the Group
from achieving the key strategic goals that are
core to its operations through introduced risk
due to strategy changes, failure to execute the
strategy effectively, or a failure to adapt the
strategy in response to changing
environments and requirements.
Strategic risk may arise from factors such as
changes in the environmental context, failure
to meet strategic targets, and the introduction
of new or heightened risks resulting from
strategic adjustments.
Strategic risks are discussed and managed by the
Executive Committee (ExCo) through the Group
strategic planning process. Additionally, we
monitor delivery risk associated with High Impact
change initiatives and undertake risk assessments
prior to execution of our strategic changes.
Material risks
18Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report
Risk typeDescriptionManaging the risk
Climate Risk
Climate risk includes:
•
P
hysical risk – arising from both longer-term
changes in climate (chronic risk) as well as
changes to the frequency and magnitude
of extreme weather events (acute risk).
Examples of chronic physical risk drivers
include rising sea levels, rising average
temperatures and ocean acidification.
Examples of acute physical risk drivers
include heatwaves, floods, bushfires
and cyclones;
•
Transition risk – arising from the transition to
a lower emission economy, including changes
in domestic and international policy and
regulatory settings, technological innovation,
social adaptation and market changes; or
•
L
iability risk – in the form of potential litigation
or regulatory action that may arise as a
consequence of a failure to adequately
consider or respond to the impacts of climate
change (including physical and transition
risks). This includes for example, the risk of
greenwashing, which may arise where an
entity is alleged to have misrepresented its
climate-related risks, business credentials
or strategies.
Following the elevation of climate risk to a material
risk in November 2023, work is progressing to
integrate and embed climate risk into the Group’s
risk management framework through existing
policies, processes and governance frameworks.
While climate risk can be a driver of credit risk
through lending to our customers, it may also
result in other financial risks, e.g. market risk
Climate risks can also be a driver of non-financial
risks including conduct risk, regulatory risk and
operational resilience risk.
Climate-related financial and non-financial risks
are managed through the risk management
strategies associated with these risks.
In 2024, we identified insurability risk as an
emerging risk to the Group and are seeking to
further understand the potential risks and impacts
to our customers.
Non-Financial
Risk
Non-Financial Risk (NFR) is the risk of loss and/
or non-compliance (including failure to act in
accordance with laws, regulations, industry
standards and codes, and internal policies)
resulting from inadequate or failed internal
processes, people, system and/or data, or
from external events. The Group manages NFR
in accordance with the industry-wide
Operational Risk Exchange (ORX) taxonomy,
of 16 ‘Risk Themes’, noting some of these
present a higher inherent risk to the Group
such as Conduct, Data, Financial Crime,
Information Security (including Cyber),
Regulatory and Technology.
The Group’s strategy for evolving NFR
management provides a planned and proactive
approach to improving the Group’s NFR
management. The NFR strategy is being
operationalised through the NFR Framework,
which has been designed to enable the Group to
holistically, consistently and effectively identify,
assess, remediate, monitor and report on NFR.

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

Statutory profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for the year decreased $578 million on the prior year to $6,595 million.
The Group uses cash profit, a non-IFRS measure, to assess the performance of its business activities. It is an industry-wide measure which
enables comparison with our peer group. We calculate cash profit by adjusting statutory profit for non-core items. In general, it represents the
financial performance of our core business activities. We use cash profit internally to set targets and incentivise our Senior Executives and leaders
through our remuneration plans. Refer to page 21 for adjustments between statutory and cash profit. The adjustments made in arriving at cash
profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to audit within the context of the external auditor’s audit of the 2024 Financial Report. Cash
profit is not subject to audit by the external auditor. Our external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that adjustments between statutory
and cash profit have been determined on a consistent basis across each of the periods presented.
Suncorp Bank acquisition
On 31 July 2024, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in SBGH Limited, the immediate holding company of Suncorp Bank. Suncorp Bank
provides banking and related services to retail, commercial, small and medium enterprises and agribusiness customers in Australia.The transaction
was undertaken to accelerate the growth of the Group’s retail and commercial businesses while also improving the geographic balance of its
business in Australia. The 2024 reported results include 2 months results for Suncorp Bank from the date of acquisition, presented as Suncorp
Bank division.
The Group is currently completing the purchase price allocation exercise to identify, measure and recognise the acquired tangible and intangible
assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. As at 30 September 2024, all values have been recognised on a provisional
basis pending completion of this exercise. The provisional goodwill balance of $1,402 million will be remeasured to take into account any
adjustments from this exercise.
For further information on the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, refer to Note 34 Suncorp Bank acquisition in the Financial Report.
Suncorp Bank acquisition related adjustments
Suncorp Bank’s divisional results for 2024 includes the following acquisition related adjustments recognised by the Group post transaction
completion, with an after tax charge of $196 million:
Collectively assessed credit impairment charge of $244 million ($171 million after tax) for Suncorp Bank’s performing loans and advances. In
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards requirements, the Group consolidated Suncorp Bank’s loans and advances on 31 July 2024,
however the Group was not permitted to recognise an allowance for ECL on the performing loans and advances, leading to a proportional
reduction in acquisition-related goodwill that would otherwise have been recognised. Subsequently, the Group was required to recognise a
collectively assessed allowance for ECL estimated using the Group’s ECL methodologies, with a corresponding charge recognised in the
Group’s Income Statement.
Accelerated software amortisation expense of $36 million ($25 million after tax) on alignment to the Group’s software capitalisation policy.

Group performance
Key measures of our financial performance are set out below.
Adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit ($m)
Adjustments between continuing operations statutory profit and cash profit are summarised below:
Adjustment Comment for the adjustment
Economic hedges
2024: $264 million loss
2023: $217 million loss
Revenue and expense
hedges
2024: $74 million gain
2023: $90 million loss
The Group enters into economic hedges to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange risk which, in accordance
with accounting standards, result in fair value gains and losses being recognised within the Income Statement. We
remove the fair value adjustments from cash profit since the profit or loss resulting from the hedge transactions will
reverse over time to match with the profit or loss from the economically hedged item as part of cash profit. This
includes gains and losses arising from derivatives not designated in accounting hedge relationships but which are
considered to be economic hedges, including hedges of foreign currency debt issuances and foreign exchange
denominated revenue and expense streams, primarily NZD and USD (and USD correlated), as well as ineffectiveness
from designated accounting hedges.
In the 2024 financial year, losses on economic hedges relate to funding-related swaps, principally from narrowing
USD/EUR currency basis spreads and the weakening of the USD against the AUD. Further losses were driven by the
impact of falling AUD and NZD yield curves on net pay fixed economic hedge positions.
The gain on revenue and expense hedges was mainly due to the appreciation of AUD against the USD and NZD.

basis pending completion of this exercise. The provisional goodwill balance of $1,402 million will be remeasured to take into account any
adjustments from this exercise.
For further information on the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, refer to Note 34 Suncorp Bank acquisition in the Financial Report.
Suncorp Bank acquisition related adjustments
Suncorp Bank’s divisional results for 2024 includes the following acquisition related adjustments recognised by the Group post transaction
completion, with an after tax charge of $196 million:
Collectively assessed credit impairment charge of $244 million ($171 million after tax) for Suncorp Bank’s performing loans and advances. In
accordance with Australian Accounting Standards requirements, the Group consolidated Suncorp Bank’s loans and advances on 31 July 2024,
however the Group was not permitted to recognise an allowance for ECL on the performing loans and advances, leading to a proportional
reduction in acquisition-related goodwill that would otherwise have been recognised. Subsequently, the Group was required to recognise a
collectively assessed allowance for ECL estimated using the Group’s ECL methodologies, with a corresponding charge recognised in the
Group’s Income Statement.
Accelerated software amortisation expense of $36 million ($25 million after tax) on alignment to the Group’s software capitalisation policy.

Group performance
Key measures of our financial performance are set out below.
Adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit ($m)
Adjustments between continuing operations statutory profit and cash profit are summarised below:
Adjustment Comment for the adjustment
Economic hedges
2024: $264 million loss
2023: $217 million loss
Revenue and expense
hedges
2024: $74 million gain
2023: $90 million loss
The Group enters into economic hedges to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange risk which, in accordance
with accounting standards, result in fair value gains and losses being recognised within the Income Statement. We
remove the fair value adjustments from cash profit since the profit or loss resulting from the hedge transactions will
reverse over time to match with the profit or loss from the economically hedged item as part of cash profit. This
includes gains and losses arising from derivatives not designated in accounting hedge relationships but which are
considered to be economic hedges, including hedges of foreign currency debt issuances and foreign exchange
denominated revenue and expense streams, primarily NZD and USD (and USD correlated), as well as ineffectiveness
from designated accounting hedges.
In the 2024 financial year, losses on economic hedges relate to funding-related swaps, principally from narrowing
USD/EUR currency basis spreads and the weakening of the USD against the AUD. Further losses were driven by the
impact of falling AUD and NZD yield curves on net pay fixed economic hedge positions.
The gain on revenue and expense hedges was mainly due to the appreciation of AUD against the USD and NZD.

Cash profit attributable to shareholders of the Company 6,785 7,480 -9%
Cash profit attributable to shareholders of the Company decreased $695 million (9%) compared with the 2023 financial year.
Net interest income decreased $531 million (3%) driven by a 13 bps decrease in net interest margin, partially offset by a $48.8 billion (5%)
increase in average interest earning assets. The decrease of 13 bps was driven by home loan pricing competition, markets activities impacted by
higher funding costs, primarily on commodity assets, where the related revenues are recognised as other operating income, and higher wholesale
funding issuance volume, partially offset by higher earnings on capital and replicating deposits. The increase in average interest earning assets
was driven by higher Markets activities, lending growth across the Australia Retail, Australia Commercial and New Zealand divisions, and the
acquisition of Suncorp Bank, partially offset by lower lending in the Institutional division.
Other operating income increased $402 million (9%) driven by an increase of $392 million in Markets other operating income from more
favourable trading conditions and higher transaction activity, and $43 million from a loss of disposal of data centres in Australia and $26 million
from unfavourable valuation adjustments, both in the prior year. This was partially offset by a $91 million decrease in share of associates’ profit.
Operating expenses increased $582 million (6%) driven by inflationary impacts, higher costs associated with strategic initiatives, the impact from
the acquisition of Suncorp Bank and restructuring costs. This was partially offset by productivity initiatives and the initial one-off levy under the
Compensation Scheme of Last Resort (CSLR) in 2023.
Credit impairment increased $161 million (66%) driven by a $110 million increase in collectively assessed credit impairment driven by $244
million from Suncorp Bank, partially offset by improvement in economic outlook, and a $51 million increase in individually assessed credit
impairment.

cards revenue in the Australia Retail division. This was partially offset by higher transaction activity in the Institutional division.
Markets other operating income increased $392 million (20%) driven by increases in Franchise Revenue across most product groups from more

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

valuation adjustments, loss on disposal of data centres, and favourable adjustment to gain on sale relating to the completed UDC Finance
divestment), and a release of excess provision following legal settlements. This was partially offset by lower gains from recycling of foreign
currency translation reserves from other comprehensive income to Income Statement on dissolution of a number of international entities, and a
loss on disposal of investment in AmBank.

The collectively assessed impairment charge of $262 million for 2024 was driven by acquisition accounting related adjustments for Suncorp
Bank, deterioration in credit risk profile across all divisions, and portfolio growth. This was partially offset by improvement in economic outlook and
a reduction in management temporary adjustments as anticipated risks are more represented in portfolio credit profiles. The collectively assessed
impairment charge of $152 million for 2023 was driven by deterioration in the economic outlook and credit risk. This was partially offset by
favourable changes in portfolio composition, particularly in the Institutional division.

Gross impaired assets by division ($m)
Gross impaired assets increased $172 million (11%) driven by an increase in the Australia Retail division due to restructured home loan facilities,
the acquisition of Suncorp Bank, an increase in the Australia Commercial due to deterioration in the SME Banking portfolio, and an increase in the
New Zealand division due to portfolio deterioration across all portfolios. This was partially offset by a decrease in the Institutional division due to the
upgrade of several single name exposures, and the Pacific division due to reduced restructured exposures.
Total allowance for expected credit losses ($m)
The increase in total allowance for expected credit losses was driven by a $215 million increase in the collectively assessed allowance for
expected credit losses, partially offset by a $68 million decrease in the individually assessed allowance for expected credit losses.
The increase in collectively assessed allowance for expected credit losses was driven by deterioration in credit risk profile across all divisions
($267 million), the additional allowance for ECL from Suncorp Bank ($248 million), and portfolio growth ($88 million). This was partially offset by
reduction in management temporary adjustments ($201 million), improvement in economic outlook ($136 million), and reduction from foreign
currency translation and other impacts ($51 million).
The decrease in individually assessed allowance for expected credit losses was driven by a decrease in the Institutional division due to lower new
impairment flows and continued write-backs.

Divisional performance
Australia Retail
Lending volumes increased driven by home loan growth. Net interest margin decreased driven by margin contraction from home loan
and deposit pricing competition, unfavourable deposit mix with a shift towards lower margin term deposits, and higher net funding
costs. This was partially offset by higher earnings on capital and replicating portfolio. Operating expenses increased driven by
inflationary impacts and incremental costs associated with strategic initiatives including ANZ Plus, partially offset by lower restructuring
expense, and benefits from productivity initiatives. Credit impairment charge decreased primarily driven by lower collectively assessed
credit impairment, partially offset by higher individually assessed credit impairment charge due to higher new impairment flows in the
unsecured portfolio.
Australia Commercial
Lending volumes increased driven by Diversified & Specialist Businesses, partially offset by lower lending in Central Functions and SME
Banking. Net interest margin decreased driven by unfavourable deposit mix with a shift towards lower margin term deposits, asset
margin contraction from pricing competition, and higher net funding costs. This was offset by favourable deposit margins and higher
earnings on capital and replicating portfolio. Other operating income decreased driven by a decrease in non-lending fees and a gain on
sale of Investment Lending business in the prior year. Operating expenses increased driven by higher restructuring expense and
inflationary impacts, partially offset by benefits from productivity initiatives. Credit impairment charge decreased driven by lower
collectively assessed credit impairment, partially offset by higher individually assessed credit impairment charge due to higher new
impairment flows in the SME Banking portfolio.
Institutional
Lending volumes increased driven by higher Markets balances, partially offset by lower core lending in Transaction Banking. Net interest
margin ex-Markets increased driven by higher earnings on capital. Other operating income increased driven by higher Markets
revenues in the customer franchise business lines. Operating expenses increased driven by inflationary impacts and higher restructuring
expense, partially offset by benefits from productivity initiatives. Credit impairment release decreased driven by higher collectively
assessed credit impairment, partially offset by higher individually assessed credit impairment release due to lower new impairment flows.
New Zealand
Lending volumes increased driven by home loan growth, partially offset by contraction in business lending. Net interest margin
decreased driven by unfavourable deposit margin, unfavourable deposit mix with a shift towards lower margin term deposits. This was
partially offset by lower net funding costs and higher earnings on capital. Other operating income decreased driven by a gain on
disposal of data centres in New Zealand in the prior year. Operating expenses increased driven by inflationary pressure, higher
restructuring expense and seasonal factors, partially offset by benefits from productivity initiatives. Credit impairment charge decreased
driven by lower collectively assessed credit impairment flows, partially offset by higher individually assessed credit impairment due to
higher new impairments mainly in the Business & Agri portfolio.
Suncorp Bank
2024 results include 2 months results from the date of acquisition. This includes acquisition related adjustments of $196 million loss
after tax comprising a collectively assessed credit impairment charge of $244 million ($171 million after tax) for Suncorp Bank’s
performing loans and advances, and an accelerated software amortisation expense of $36 million ($25 million after tax) on alignment to
the Group’s software capitalisation policy.
Pacific
Cash profit decreased driven by lower credit impairment release, partially offset by lower expenses and higher other operating income.
Group Centre
Cash loss increased primarily driven by lower equity accounted earnings and a loss on sale following the disposal of AmBank, partially
offset by increases driven by a number of non-recurring items in the prior year, including unfavourable valuation adjustment from
investments measured at fair value through profit or loss in the prior year, and a loss on disposal of data centres in Australia.

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

APRA, under the authority of the Banking Act 1959, sets minimum regulatory requirements for banks including what is acceptable as regulatory
capital and provides methods of measuring the risks incurred by ANZ Bank Group.
The ANZ Bank Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 12.2% based on APRA Basel III standards, exceeding APRA’s minimum requirements. It
decreased 114 bps driven by the impact of dividends paid during the year, acquisition of Suncorp Bank, the transfer of capital from ANZBGL to
ANZGHL to fund $2 billion share buy-back, and underlying RWA movement. This was partially offset by cash earnings, proceeds from disposal of
investment in AmBank and mortgage RWA modelling initiatives.

Dear Shareholder,
Following a record performance in 2023,
the ANZ team has delivered another year
of strong financial results, along with
significant progress on our strategic
agenda, including completion of the
acquisition of Suncorp Bank and
significant growth in customers joining
our ANZ Plus platform. For shareholders,
we have delivered 27% Total Shareholder
Return (TSR) in financial year 2024, and
we also announced an on market share
buy-back in May 2024.
Two years ago, the Board revised the
executive remuneration structure to
ensure compliance with CPS 511
Remuneration and to ensure that the
Board had levers within the framework to
take into account business and leadership
performance, as well as the management
of financial and non-financial risk. This
year, the Board applied these levers with
respect to 2024 remuneration outcomes,
including as a result of a series of issues
stemming from our Markets business, and
an additional $250m capital overlay
imposed by APRA due to Non-Financial
Risk (NFR) matters. (Note: these issues are
outlined in the ‘Chairman’s message’ of the
Annual Report, and in this report we have
referenced the specific instances where
consequences have been considered and
applied, with an overall summary outlined
in Section 6).
Notwithstanding these issues, the
Board considers that the business has

2024 remuneration outcomes
Short Term Variable Remuneration
(STVR) – Awarded
The ANZ Group Scorecard performance
is a key component informing STVR
outcomes for the Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and Disclosed Executives, as well as
the majority of ANZ Group employees. The
2024 Group Scorecard performance was
assessed at 99% of target. However, with
the application of the Risk Modifier, the
overall scorecard performance reduced
to 90%/Below Target.
In order to improve clarity and alignment
to the ANZ Group Scorecard, the Board
determined that for 2024, the CEO’s STVR
would be based on 100% of the ANZ
Group Scorecard results, with allowance
for a CEO Leadership Modifier adjustment
focused on the CEO’s leadership of key
strategic priorities and risk management
(Section 5.1.2).
In the Board’s assessment, the CEO
Shayne Elliott, has continued to
demonstrate good leadership of the
Group and we have therefore assessed
him as on target for the CEO Leadership
Modifier component of his assessment.
Specifically, his leadership of key strategic
objectives has positioned ANZ well for the
future, and he is consistently a role model
of ANZ’s values and behaviours. Given,
however, that the CEO has ultimate
accountability for the broader Group’s
performance, the CEO needs to bear
appropriate accountability for the impact
of the Markets and NFR matters. As a
result, the Board applied its discretion
and assessed the CEO’s performance
as Below Target, and determined the
appropriate 2024 STVR outcome was
65% of target opportunity (52% of
maximum opportunity).
For Disclosed Executives, the Board
approved 2024 STVR outcomes which
range from 50% to 88% of target (average

Short Term Variable Remuneration
(STVR) – Awarded
The ANZ Group Scorecard performance
is a key component informing STVR
outcomes for the Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and Disclosed Executives, as well as
the majority of ANZ Group employees. The
2024 Group Scorecard performance was
assessed at 99% of target. However, with

would be based on 100% of the ANZ
Group Scorecard results, with allowance
for a CEO Leadership Modifier adjustment
focused on the CEO’s leadership of key
strategic priorities and risk management
(Section 5.1.2).
In the Board’s assessment, the CEO
Shayne Elliott, has continued to

Group and we have therefore assessed
him as on target for the CEO Leadership
Modifier component of his assessment.
Specifically, his leadership of key strategic
objectives has positioned ANZ well for the

of ANZ’s values and behaviours. Given,
however, that the CEO has ultimate
accountability for the broader Group’s
performance, the CEO needs to bear
appropriate accountability for the impact

result, the Board applied its discretion
and assessed the CEO’s performance
as Below Target, and determined the
appropriate 2024 STVR outcome was
65% of target opportunity (52% of
maximum opportunity).
For Disclosed Executives, the Board
approved 2024 STVR outcomes which
range from 50% to 88% of target (average
34Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report34
75%). This reflects their individual and
Divisional performance, the Below Target
assessment for Group performance,
collective accountability for the NFR
matters, and individual consequences
(where relevant) for the Markets matters.
Long Term Variable Remuneration
(LTVR) – Lapsed/Granted
The performance rights granted in late
2019 to the CEO and relevant Disclosed
Executives did not meet the hurdles when
tested at the end of the performance
period in November 2023, therefore 100%
of these performance rights lapsed.
Last year, the 2024 LTVR (comprised of
50% performance rights and 50%
restricted rights), was granted to the CEO
and Disclosed Executives at full
opportunity, following the Board’s pre grant
assessment in October 2023 for restricted
rights, determining that no reduction was
required. For the CEO, the 2024 LTVR grant
was $3,375,000, noting that LTVR is future
focused and vests over time.
In considering the pre grant assessment
for the 2025 LTVR, the Board has chosen
to adjust the restricted rights (which make
up 50% of LTVR at full opportunity),
downward by 10%, due to the risk matters
discussed above. The CEO’s proposed
2025 LTVR of $3,206,250, will be subject
to a shareholder vote at the upcoming
2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Fixed remuneration
Effective for 2024, Disclosed Executives
(excluding the CEO), received a Fixed
Remuneration (FR) adjustment to maintain
or improve market positioning. There were
no further increases to FR for 2024.
Changes to the way we
remunerate executives
(from 2024 onward)
For LTVR awards of performance rights,
only from financial year 2024 onward,
the Board approved in July 2023:
• the removal of DBS Bank Limited from
the Select Financial Services (SFS)
relative TSR comparator group, to better
balance the weighting of international
peers in our comparator group; and
• that Compound Annual Growth Rate
(CAGR) targets for the absolute CAGR
TSR hurdle be based on the time
weighted Cost of Capital (CoC) over the
four-year performance period rather
than the CoC at the start of the period,
to better reflect cyclical factors
impacting shareholders.
In addition, post the Suncorp Bank
acquisition and applicable to both awards
currently on foot and future LTVR awards
of performance rights, the Board approved
the removal of Suncorp Group Limited
from the relative TSR SFS comparator
group (Section 9.1).
Holly Kramer
Chair – People & Culture Committee
Changes to the way we
remunerate executives
(from 2025 onward)
In 2024, the People & Culture
Committee recommended, and
the Board approved, changes to
the ANZ Group Scorecard and
performance approach for
financial year 2025 onward.
The intention is to provide a
greater focus on fewer, more
meaningful objectives that will
drive sustainable long-term
performance, and to provide a
more transparent link between
performance and remuneration
outcomes. This approach is also
consistent with shareholder
feedback.
The key changes arising from this
review will be effective from 2025,
and are summarised as follows:
• reduction in the number of
objectives and indicators;
• provision of weightings for each
objective rather than at the
category level only;
• introduction of threshold/target/
stretch targets for each indicator;
• increase in the performance
assessment weighting for Group
performance for frontline
Disclosed Executives, from 25%
to 40%, to recognise the increase
in Group-wide priorities (excluding
Group Executive and CEO, New
Zealand); and
• increase in the weighting of
financial measures from 40% to
50% in our Group and Divisional
Scorecards.
Non-Executive
Director (NED) fees
For 2024 there was a 2% uplift to the
NED member fee, and uplifts to fees for
Committee chairs and members. There
was no change to the fees for the Board
Chair (Section 7.1).
In closing, and on behalf of my Board
colleagues, I’d like to thank all of our
ANZ employees for their important
contributions this past year. While the
year has been marked by some
challenges in the bank, underlying
performance was strong and we have
made meaningful progress on our
long-term goals.

The Remuneration Report for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZBGL) outlines our remuneration
strategy and structure and the remuneration practices that apply to Key Management Personnel (KMP). This report has
been prepared, and audited, as required by the Corporations Act 2001. It forms part of the Directors’ Report.
This report includes disclosures for the full financial year 2024 (1 October 2023 to 30 September 2024). Ordinary shares and employee
equity (deferred shares, deferred share rights, restricted rights and performance rights) held prior to 3 January 2023

were previously
ANZBGL related equity – post the listing of ANZGHL, the equity was converted to ANZGHL related equity. References to ‘the Board’
throughout this report mean the Boards of ANZGHL and ANZBGL.
Section 5.1.1 ANZ Group Scorecard – approach and 2024 outcomes relates to ANZGHL rather than ANZBGL given this forms the basis
for determining performance and remuneration outcomes for the CEO and Disclosed Executives.
KMP are Directors of the Group (or entity)

3.1 Five-year ANZ financial performance summary
When determining variable remuneration outcomes for the CEO, Disclosed Executives and employees, a range of different financial
indicators are considered. The Group uses cash profit as a measure of performance for the Group’s ongoing business activities, as
this provides a basis to assess Group and Divisional performance against earlier periods and against peer institutions.
The adjustments made in arriving at cash profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to audit. Although cash profit is not
audited, the external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that the cash profit adjustments have been determined on a
consistent basis across each period presented.
2024 statutory profit is down 8% compared to the prior financial year, while cash profit is down 9%, with both metrics impacted by
one-off Suncorp Bank acquisition related adjustments. Excluding the one-off adjustments, statutory profit is down 5% and cash profit
is down 7%.
During 2024 the Group commenced a $2 billion share buy-back to return surplus capital to its shareholders, which up to
30 September 2024 has resulted in the Group returning $883m of capital to shareholders via the acquisition of 30 million shares
on the market.

The following overview highlights how the executive performance and remuneration framework supports ANZ’s purpose and strategy.
40Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report
4.2 Alignment of remuneration and risk
Variable remuneration for the CEO and Disclosed Executives is designed to align remuneration and risk.
Alignment of remuneration and risk
Variable remuneration for the CEO and Disclosed Executives is aligned to risk management through:
Assessing behaviours
based on ANZ’s values
and risk/compliance
standards (including
the FAR)
Determining variable
remuneration
outcomes with risk as
a modifier – impacting
outcomes at both a
pool and individual level
Weighting
remuneration toward
the longer-term with a
significant proportion
at risk
Emphasising risk in the
determination and
vesting of LTVR
restricted rights
(Section 9.1.1)
Reinforcing the
importance of risk
culture in driving
sustainable long-term
performance in the
LTVR design
Providing material
weight to non-financial
metrics (particularly risk)
in line with APRA
requirements
Ensuring risk
measures are
considered over a
long-time horizon
(up to 5 and 6 years)
Determining
accountability
and applying
consequences
where appropriate
Strengthening risk
consequences with
clawback (Section 4.5)
Prohibiting the hedging
of unvested equity
Variable remuneration can be adjusted downwards, including to zero, allowing the Board to hold executives accountable, individually or
collectively, for the longer-term impacts of their decisions and actions.
4.3 Remuneration structure and delivery
There are two core components of remuneration at ANZ – fixed remuneration and at risk variable remuneration.
In structuring remuneration, the Board aims to find the right balance between fixed and variable remuneration (at risk), the way
it is delivered (cash versus deferred remuneration) and appropriate deferral time frames (the short, medium and long-term).
The Board sets and reviews annually the CEO and Disclosed Executives’ FR based on financial services market relativities and
reflecting each executive’s responsibilities, performance, qualifications and experience.
The CEO and Disclosed Executives’ variable remuneration is comprised of STVR and LTVR consistent with external market practice.
At target performance, 63% of variable remuneration for the CEO and Disclosed Executives, and 56% of variable remuneration for
the CRO is deferred for at least four years from the date the Board approved the variable remuneration in October, and the date
shareholders approve the CEO’s LTVR, noting that this complies with the FAR minimum deferral requirement of 60% for the CEO and
40% for Disclosed Executives.

)
4.3.2 Variable remuneration delivery
Variable remuneration for the CEO and the Disclosed Executives (excluding the CRO and former Acting GE T&C) is delivered as follows:
• STVR as 50% cash paid to executives at the end of the annual Performance and Remuneration Review (December), and subject to
clawback for two years post payment, and 50% shares deferred equally over years 2 and 3 (granted in November in respect of
performance for the prior financial year); and
• LTVR as restricted rights and performance rights granted at the beginning of the financial year in November/December, and
deferred over:
–year 4 (33%), year 5 (33%) and year 6 (34%) for the CEO; and
–year 4 (50%) and year 5 (50%) for Disclosed Executives.
Both restricted rights and performance rights are tested against the relevant performance condition at the end of the four-year
performance period and are then subject to additional holding period(s) until the completion of the respective deferral periods (Section 9.1).
Before any scheduled release of deferred remuneration, the Board considers whether malus should be applied to previously deferred
remuneration (or further deferral of vesting), or clawback to variable remuneration previously granted (two years post payment or
vesting), for the CEO and Disclosed Executives (Section 4.5).
1. CRO mix: 33.3% FR/33.3% STVR/33.3% LTVR. STVR maximum opportunity: the same as CEO/DE at 100% of FR, LTVR full opportunity: 100% of FR and delivered as 100% RR to
support independence. 2. If the CEO receives above target STVR, the amount above target will be delivered as 40% cash and 60% DS (20% year 4, 20% year 5, 20% year 6) to ensure
compliance with the minimum deferral requirements with respect to FAR and APRA’s Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration.

)
4.3.2 Variable remuneration delivery
Variable remuneration for the CEO and the Disclosed Executives (excluding the CRO and former Acting GE T&C) is delivered as follows:
• STVR as 50% cash paid to executives at the end of the annual Performance and Remuneration Review (December), and subject to
clawback for two years post payment, and 50% shares deferred equally over years 2 and 3 (granted in November in respect of
performance for the prior financial year); and
• LTVR as restricted rights and performance rights granted at the beginning of the financial year in November/December, and
deferred over:
–year 4 (33%), year 5 (33%) and year 6 (34%) for the CEO; and
–year 4 (50%) and year 5 (50%) for Disclosed Executives.
Both restricted rights and performance rights are tested against the relevant performance condition at the end of the four-year
performance period and are then subject to additional holding period(s) until the completion of the respective deferral periods (Section 9.1).
Before any scheduled release of deferred remuneration, the Board considers whether malus should be applied to previously deferred
remuneration (or further deferral of vesting), or clawback to variable remuneration previously granted (two years post payment or
vesting), for the CEO and Disclosed Executives (Section 4.5).
1. CRO mix: 33.3% FR/33.3% STVR/33.3% LTVR. STVR maximum opportunity: the same as CEO/DE at 100% of FR, LTVR full opportunity: 100% of FR and delivered as 100% RR to
support independence. 2. If the CEO receives above target STVR, the amount above target will be delivered as 40% cash and 60% DS (20% year 4, 20% year 5, 20% year 6) to ensure
compliance with the minimum deferral requirements with respect to FAR and APRA’s Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration.

42Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report
For deferred variable remuneration for the CEO and Disclosed Executives, we calculate the number of deferred shares to be granted
based on the VWAP of the shares traded on the ASX in the five trading days leading up to and including 1 October (i.e., in line with the
beginning of the financial year). Allocations prior to the 2022 financial year were based on the VWAP in the five trading days leading up
to and including the date of grant. The VWAP used for disclosure and expensing purposes is the one-day VWAP at the date of grant,
which is in line with the Accounting Standard.
In some cases, we may grant deferred share rights to executives instead of deferred shares. Each deferred share right entitles the
holder to one ordinary share.
4.4 Performance assessment
The following provides a summary of the performance assessment approach for the CEO and Disclosed Executives.
Financial Accountability Regime (FAR) compliance is the gateway that requires the Accountable Person to meet their obligations in line
with their Accountability Statement under the FAR since 15 March 2024 and, prior to that, under the Banking Executive Accountability
Regime (BEAR). The ‘what’ assessment comprises of the ANZ Group Scorecard and Divisional Scorecard (excluding the CEO). Both the
Group and Divisional Scorecard assessments are calculated as follows: Risk modifier
1
% x [Shareholder/Financial % + Customer % +
People & Culture %]. The ‘what’ assessment outcome is then modified by the ‘how’ modifier. The ‘how’ modifier for Disclosed
Executives considers a macro view of the individual’s approach to risk, demonstration of ANZ behaviours, and their contribution to
building a successful Group Executive team. See below and Section 5.1.2 for CEO Leadership Modifier detail.
4.4.1 CEO performance
The CEO’s STVR is assessed 100% on
the ANZ Group Scorecard, adjusted by
the CEO Leadership Modifier, which takes
into consideration the CEO’s leadership of:
• Key strategic priorities aligned with
ANZ’s strategy
• ANZ’s values/behaviours
• ANZ’s risk and compliance standards
This is a change from 2023, where
performance informing the CEO’s
STVR was split 50% between the
Group Scorecard and the CEO’s
individual objectives.
With the change to 100% assessment on
the ANZ Group Scorecard (as highlighted
in the ‘People & Culture Committee Chair
letter’), the weighting to financial
performance for the CEO is around 40%
(moving to 50% in 2025); however noting
that the CEO’s STVR is not formulaic.
1. Note for the CRO, Risk is incorporated in the Scorecard rather than as a separate modifier. 2. Performance
arrangements for the CRO are addressed additionally by the Risk Committee. Performance arrangements for the GE &
CEO, New Zealand are determined and approved by the ANZ NZ HR Committee/ANZ NZ Board in consultation with and
endorsed by the People & Culture Committee/Board, consistent with their respective regulatory obligations.
The Scorecard/strategic priorities are
agreed upon by the Board at the
beginning of the financial year (and are
designed to be stretching). At the end of
the financial year, the People & Culture
Committee reviews and recommends to
the Board for approval the CEO’s overall
performance taking into consideration:
i. Performance against the ANZ Group
Scorecard
ii. CEO Leadership Modifier
iii. Input from the Chairman
iv. Compliance with FAR obligations
v. Control function reports from the CRO
(on risk management), CFO (on financial
performance), GE T&C (on talent and
culture matters) and Group General
Manager Internal Audit (GGM IA) (on
internal audit matters)
vi. Material risk, audit and conduct events
that have either occurred or come to
light in the year
vii. Input from both the Audit Committee
and the Risk Committee of the Board
4.4.2 Disclosed Executive
performance
At the start of each year, stretching
performance objectives are set for
Disclosed Executives through Divisional
Scorecards, aligned with the ANZ Group
Scorecard. At the end of the financial year,
the People & Culture Committee
recommends to the Board for approval the
performance of each Disclosed Executive

against:
i. the ANZ Group Scorecard
(25% to 50% weighting)
ii. their Divisional Scorecard
(50% to 75% weighting)
iii. ANZ’s values/behaviours
iv. points iv) to vii) as detailed for the CEO
The ANZ Group Scorecard weighting for
Disclosed Executives varies based on
role focus:
• 50% weighting for enablement
Disclosed Executives: Chief Financial
Officer, GE Strategy & Transformation,
GE Talent & Culture, and GE Technology
& Group Services
• 25% weighting for Chief Risk Officer,
and frontline Disclosed Executives: GE

market risk, climate risk, non-financial risk and strategic risk.
However, to reinforce the importance of collective accountability and contribution to Group outcomes, the Group weighting will increase
from 25% to 40% in 2025 for frontline Disclosed Executives (excluding GE & CEO, New Zealand). The Chief Risk Officer will retain a 25%
weighting to reinforce independence of the role.
Similar to the ANZ Group Scorecard, the Divisional Scorecards include the key elements of Shareholder/Financial, Customer, and People
& Culture, with Risk acting as a modifier.

4.5 Board discretion
Variable remuneration is ’at risk’ remuneration and can range from zero to maximum opportunity. At the end of the financial year,
the Board
1
approves variable remuneration recommendations for the CEO and each Disclosed Executive following lengthy and
detailed discussions and assessment, supported by comprehensive analysis of performance from a number of sources.
Board discretion is applied when determining all CEO and Disclosed Executive variable remuneration outcomes including:
• the size of the ANZIP variable remuneration pool;
• STVR and LTVR outcomes for each financial year;
• LTVR vesting outcomes (including pre vest assessment); and
• downward adjustment of variable remuneration as part of consequence management, in accordance with applicable law and
any terms and conditions provided (see below).
Downward adjustment of variable remuneration
The Board may choose to exercise the following options or a combination of these at any time, but will always consider their
use if any of the circumstances specified by Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration occur. #1 to #3 below are
applicable to all employees, while clawback (#4) is limited to select employees (primarily the CEO, Disclosed Executives and
senior employees in jurisdictions where clawback regulations apply):
1. In year adjustment
The most common type of
downward adjustment, which
reduces the amount of
variable remuneration an
employee may have otherwise
been awarded for that year.
2. Further deferral/freezing
Delays the decision to pay/
allocate variable
remuneration, or further
defers the vesting of
deferred remuneration or
freezes vested/unexercised
shares and rights. This would
typically only be considered
where an investigation is
pending/underway.
3. Malus
Is an adjustment to reduce the
value of all or part of deferred
remuneration before it has
vested. Malus is used in cases
of more serious performance
or behaviour issues. Any and
all variable remuneration we
award or grant to an employee
is subject to ANZ’s on-going
and absolute discretion to
apply malus and adjust
variable remuneration
downward (including to zero)
at any time before the relevant
variable remuneration vests.
4. Clawback
Is the recovery of variable
remuneration that has
already vested or been paid
(up to two years from
vesting/payment or a longer
period as determined by
Board discretion, policy or
applicable law). This would
typically only be considered
if the other types of
downward adjustment/other
consequences are
considered inadequate given
the severity of the situation.
Before any scheduled vesting of deferred remuneration, the Board (for the CEO, Disclosed Executives and other specified roles) and/or
the Enterprise Accountability Group (EAG) (for other employees) considers whether any further deferral, malus, or clawback should be
applied (Section 6).
4.6 Alignment of executive and shareholder interests
Variable remuneration for the CEO and Disclosed Executives is designed to align executive and shareholder interests.
Alignment of executive and shareholder interests
More broadly, ANZ’s variable remuneration structure supports the alignment of executives with the interests of shareholders through:
Substantial shareholding
requirements (around
80% of variable
remuneration at
maximum opportunity
deferred into ANZ equity,
and 75% for the CRO to
ensure alignment with
shareholder interests and
to ensure focus on
long-term value creation)
Significant variable
remuneration deferral
up to 5 and 6 years in
ANZ equity (which also
supports retention)
Significant weighting to
the LTVR component
(around 60% of VR)
which includes relative
and absolute TSR
hurdles
Consideration of cash
profit and economic
profit in determining
ANZIP variable
remuneration pool
Consideration of
the shareholder
experience (in respect
of the share price
and dividend) in
determining ANZIP
variable remuneration
pool and individual
outcomes
1. Remuneration arrangements for the Group Executive and CEO, New Zealand are determined and approved by the ANZ NZ Board in consultation with and endorsed by the Board,
consistent with their respective regulatory obligations.

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

While the STVR opportunity (100% of FR) is the same as the CEO and Disclosed Executives, the LTVR opportunity is different
(100% of FR instead of 135% of FR) reflecting the delivery of LTVR as 100% restricted rights (instead of 50% restricted rights and
50% performance rights). Maximum variable remuneration opportunity is 200% of FR for the CRO. The remuneration mix is 33.3%
FR/33.3% STVR/33.3% LTVR.
Former Acting Group Executive, Talent & Culture
Due to the acting nature of R Howell’s appointment his remuneration arrangements differed to other Disclosed Executives. For the time
spent in this acting role, his FR was set at $700k per annum from 1 June 2023 and increased to $703k from 1 July 2023 (due to the
impact of the Superannuation Guarantee rate change). His VR maximum opportunity was set at 150% of FR (his remuneration mix was
therefore 40% FR/60% VR). His VR in the acting role was delivered as 60% cash and 40% as shares deferred over years 4 to 5 to ensure
compliance with CPS 511 deferral requirements.

5.1.1 ANZ Group Scorecard – approach and 2024 outcomes
The ANZ Group Scorecard is approved by the Board at the start of each year. It plays a key role to:
Message internally what
matters most
Reinforce the importance of sound
management in addition to risk,
shareholder/financial, customer,
and people and culture outcomes
Inform focus of effort,
prioritisation and decision-
making across ANZ
Assessment of performance against the ANZ Group Scorecard provides a key input (as illustrated in Section 4.4):
In determining the size of the ANZ
Incentive Plan (ANZIP) variable
remuneration pool, which funds
individual variable remuneration
outcomes for all employees/STVR
for Disclosed Executives (excluding
the CEO to help mitigate potential
conflicts of interest)
In the overall performance assessment for the CEO (100% weighting,
adjusted based on a CEO Leadership Modifier) and Disclosed Executives
(25% – 50% weighting), which informs the STVR awarded outcomes in
Section 5.1.2
As managing risk appropriately is fundamental to the way ANZ operates, risk forms an integral part of the assessment, directly
impacting the overall ANZ Group Scorecard outcome (a modifier ranging from 0% to 110% of the ANZ Group Scorecard assessment).
On the following pages we have outlined ANZ’s 2024 Group Scorecard and provided a summary of outcomes for each of the key
performance categories to inform the overall assessment for 2024.

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

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

• Engagement continued to be very high (84% vs 87% in 2023). This engagement is evidenced beyond survey data in other measures such
as participation in the ‘Lead@ANZ program’ (over 75% of eligible leaders having commenced the program), around 1,300 engineers having
completed the ‘Engineering Career Pathways program’ and the number of staff who chose to be upskilled in ESG (3,249 completed the
‘ESG@ANZ learning program’).
• Retention of high performers was also strong, despite a more competitive employment market.
• A new Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) target was created in 2024 (aligned to our D&I strategy), and improvement from the baseline was positive.
We continued to make progress on Women in Leadership (38.8%, up from 37.3% in 2023) and also maintained our #1 ranking amongst
major bank peers in Glassdoor

Risk modifier0 to 110%: 90%/Below Target
Maintain risk discipline focused on good customer and regulatory outcomes
• Strong credit outcome with no material credit events recorded. Overall, credit and market risk has been well managed, and liquidity risk
remains appropriate.
• Ongoing progress in delivering key regulatory commitments and uplifting NFR management, however, the recent impost of an additional
$250m operational risk overlay on top of our current $500m overlay is acknowledged as a clear sign that we need to do more in this area,
and this will be a significant focus for 2025.
• The enterprise’s risk culture has been assessed as Needs Improvement in 2024. Regulatory concerns around our Markets business and
NFR management have contributed to this re-assessment. Importantly, a high ‘Speak Up’ index of 81% was achieved, reflecting sustained
efforts to encourage people to speak up and challenge each other respectfully.
• No repeat adverse audits, no material Risk Appetite Statement breaches, and no material overdue regulatory issues.
Overall Group Performance AssessmentAssessment: 90%/Below Target
Overall performance (excluding the impact of the Risk Modifier), is assessed at 99% or slightly below target, despite a challenging
economic and socio-political environment. This reflects our strong financial performance with all business lines each contributing strongly,
solid progress against our long-term strategic objectives, and good customer and people outcomes.
However, while ANZ delivered against the majority of the Group Scorecard objectives, the recent issues in the Markets business, and the
additional $250m capital overlay from APRA in response to concerns regarding NFR matters, resulted in the application of a Risk Modifier of
90%, and therefore an overall performance assessment for 2024 of 90% (rounded) or Below Target. The Board notes that STVR outcomes
for the CEO and Disclosed Executives also take into consideration performance against individual objectives.

5.1.2 CEO and DEs STVR – 2024 outcomes
At the end of the financial year, the People & Culture Committee makes a recommendation to the Board for approval in respect of
STVR outcomes. STVR will vary up or down year-on-year, it is not guaranteed, and may range from zero to a maximum opportunity.
Where expectations are met, STVR is likely to be awarded around 80% of maximum opportunity. Where performance is below
expectations, STVR will be less (potentially down to zero), and where above expectations, STVR will be more (potentially up to
maximum opportunity). The degree of variance in individual STVR outcomes for Disclosed Executives reflects the weighting of the
Group component (i.e., roles with 50% Group weighting will generally have less differentiation), and relative performance of the
different areas/individuals.
Summary of how the 2024 overall performance assessment has impacted the STVR Allocation
2024 remuneration outcomes reflect both the overall performance of the Group and the performance of each individual/Division.
The following provides a summary of how the performance assessment has been impacted as a result of the Markets and NFR
matters, and therefore the resulting impact on the 2024 awarded STVR.
2024 STVR Allocation (Target: 80%; Max: 100% as % of FR)
1. The term ‘accountability’ is used in the broader sense – i.e., taken to mean that the CEO/Disclosed Executives are ultimately responsible for the effective management of risk and the
performance of the bank, and therefore should bear appropriate consequences for the impacts of the matters. As used in this report, the term should not be taken to mean
accountability under FAR, unless otherwise stated. Where referring to FAR accountability, the term ‘Accountability’ will be capitalised.
The STVR awarded tables show a year-on-year comparison of STVR awarded to the CEO, and Disclosed Executives for the 2023 and
2024 performance periods. STVR awarded reflects actual cash and the deferred shares component of STVR awarded in respect of the
relevant financial year. As non-cash components are subject to future vesting outcomes, the awarded value may be higher or lower
than the future realised value.

Board assessment of CEO
Leadership Modifier
The CEO has delivered well against the
key factors forming part of the CEO
Leadership Modifier.
1. Led/driven performance against
the ANZ Group Scorecard
The CEO’s leadership of the bank’s key
priorities resulted in strong progress
against ANZ’s longer term strategy, and
good overall performance against 2024
objectives (Section 5.1.1). Key leadership
highlights include:
• Final approval and acquisition of
Suncorp Bank
• The ongoing successful rollout of ANZ
Plus with strong adoption numbers,
FUM growth and NPS, although
acknowledging the slower than
planned progress in some areas
(e.g., home loans)
• Exceeding many ESG targets
• Significant productivity saves, to enable
investment in key platforms for long
term success
While 2024 has been a year of many
successful achievements, the Board’s
reduction to the Risk Modifier resulted in
a Below Target Group Scorecard
assessment overall.
2. ANZ values/behaviours
The CEO’s personal role modelling of the
ANZ values and behaviours is exemplary,
and as a result he is highly respected by
ANZ staff and regarded as an authentic
leader. Externally, the CEO demonstrates
industry leadership on a range of matters,
including his advocacy on making banking
more accessible to the general population,
along with his regular engagement with
non-profit partners and community groups.
3. Individual risk/compliance assessment
The CEO actively leads, encourages and
cultivates a culture where people seek to
understand, measure and proactively
manage risk and compliance matters.
He sets the tone from the top regarding
the importance of risk management and
speak up culture across the bank, as
evidenced by the improvement from 83%
to 88% for the response to “At ANZ there
are appropriate risk consequences when
risk management processes and
behaviours are not followed.” While the
CEO is ultimately accountable for the
Markets and NFR matters, he has provided
strong positive leadership in response to
each matter.
Board discretion
While on balance the CEO’s performance
against the ‘what’ and ‘how’ assessments
were good, the Markets and NFR matters
have impacted ANZ’s reputation, the
confidence of customers, shareholders
and regulators, and increased the risk
capital overlay on ANZ by $250m. As a
result, the Board has applied its discretion
to ensure a fair and proportionate
performance and STVR outcome for the
CEO, given he has ultimate accountability
for these matters.
CEO
The Board determined that an STVR outcome of $1.3m (65% of target/52% of maximum opportunity) was appropriate for 2024 having
regard to the overall performance of the Group, the CEO Leadership Modifier, and the Board’s application of downward adjustment due
to risk and reputation considerations arising from the Markets and NFR matters. As a result, the CEO’s STVR outcome is down 46%
year-on-year.
The Board assessed the CEO’s 2024 performance as follows:

average exchange rate used to convert NZD to AUD as at 30 September for the relevant year.
5.2 Long term variable remuneration (LTVR)
LTVR reinforces the focus on achieving longer term strategic objectives, driving outperformance relative to peers, and creating long-
term sustained value for all stakeholders. LTVR will be awarded based on full opportunity unless the LTVR restricted rights pre grant
assessment results in any reduction (and is also subject to shareholder approval for the CEO).
Disclosed Executives
STVR outcomes for Disclosed Executives
continue to differ both year-on-year and
between executives demonstrating the
variability in Group and individual
performance year-on-year and the at risk
nature of this element of remuneration
(i.e., it is not guaranteed and may be
adjusted up or down ranging from zero
to a maximum opportunity).
In 2024, STVR outcomes for all Disclosed
Executives have been impacted by the
Markets and NFR matters (i.e., down 29%
on average year-on-year for those in role
for a full year in 2023 and 2024), due to the:
• impact of the Risk Modifier outcome on
the Group Scorecard assessment; and
• the application of a -20% individual Risk
Modifier adjustment for most Disclosed
Executives to reflect collective executive
accountability for the NFR challenges.
The risk assessment impact was
greatest for the CRO and GE,
Institutional to reflect their greater overall
accountability for these matters (i.e.,
issues took place within their area of
control and influence), resulting in an
average STVR reduction of 50%
year-on-year.
The average STVR outcome for current
Disclosed Executives is 75% of target
(60% of maximum opportunity). This
reflects both the overall assessment of
ANZ Group performance as Below Target
(Section 5.1.1), which is weighted 25% or
50%, and also individual performance
(Section 4.4.2) which is weighted 75% or
50% depending on role. Outcomes range
from 50% to 88% of target (or 40% to
71% of maximum opportunity).
To ensure an overall fair and proportionate
consequence for the Markets and NFR
matters, downward Board discretion was
applied to STVR outcomes for select
individuals (refer to Section 6 for
consequence considerations).
The 2024 STVR awarded outcome for
E Clements is based on her time as a
Disclosed Executive during 2024. R Howell
was awarded nil STVR for the 8 days he
was a Disclosed Executive during 2024.

STVR outcomes for Disclosed Executives
continue to differ both year-on-year and
between executives demonstrating the
variability in Group and individual
performance year-on-year and the at risk
nature of this element of remuneration
(i.e., it is not guaranteed and may be
adjusted up or down ranging from zero
to a maximum opportunity).
In 2024, STVR outcomes for all Disclosed
Executives have been impacted by the
Markets and NFR matters (i.e., down 29%
on average year-on-year for those in role
for a full year in 2023 and 2024), due to the:
• impact of the Risk Modifier outcome on
the Group Scorecard assessment; and
• the application of a -20% individual Risk
Modifier adjustment for most Disclosed
Executives to reflect collective executive
accountability for the NFR challenges.
The risk assessment impact was
greatest for the CRO and GE,
Institutional to reflect their greater overall

The average STVR outcome for current
Disclosed Executives is 75% of target
(60% of maximum opportunity). This

determine the level of vesting of performance rights and subsequent value of performance rights at the end of the performance period.
LTVR (restricted rights and performance rights) is designed to strengthen the alignment of executive interests with shareholders, and
performance rights provide a strong link between the reward for executive performance and TSR returns over the next four-year period.

LTVR – 2024 outcomes
2024 Awarded LTVR and pre grant assessment outcome
Following completion of the 2024 LTVR pre grant assessment, based on its outcome in October 2023, the Board determined that the
2024 LTVR (awarded at the start of the 2024 financial year) should be awarded at full opportunity to Disclosed Executives (November
2023) and the CEO (December 2023 post AGM).
The restricted rights component of LTVR was subject to a pre grant assessment by the Board which determined that the award should
be made at full value (i.e., no reduction); and will be subject to a pre vest assessment by the Board of non-financial measures at the end
of the four-year performance period to determine whether the restricted rights should vest in full.

LTVR – 2025 outcomes
Following completion of the 2025 LTVR pre grant assessment, the Board determined in October 2024 that the 2025 LTVR restricted
rights (50% of full LTVR opportunity), should be awarded at 90% of full opportunity to Disclosed Executives (November 2024) and the
CEO (December 2024 post AGM) due to risk considerations.
This adjustment formed part of a holistic assessment (i.e., including consideration of risk adjustments impacting STVR), to
ensure a proportionate collective impact for the NFR matters contributing to the additional capital overlay (Section 6). This
would result in a total 2025 LTVR award (awarded at the start of the 2025 financial year) at 95% of full opportunity (90% of full
opportunity for the CRO, whose LTVR is delivered wholly in restricted rights).
The restricted rights component of LTVR was subject to a pre grant assessment by the Board (outcomes are summarised below); and
will be subject to a pre vest assessment by the Board of non-financial measures at the end of the four-year performance period to
determine whether the restricted rights should vest in full.

CEO – Summary of 2023 and 2024 total remuneration
56Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report
6.1 Board considerations of
consequences for material
risk, audit and conduct events
Considerations regarding accountability
and consequences for our most senior
executives are considered and determined
by the People & Culture Committee and
Board, including the application of malus
and clawback (Section 4.5) for the CEO
and Disclosed Executives.
When determining consequences,
consideration is given to the level of
accountability, and the severity of the
issue, including customer impacts.
Consequences may include, for example,
one or more of the following: counselling,
formal warnings, impacts to in year
performance and remuneration outcomes
or application of malus to previously
deferred remuneration and ultimately
termination of employment or clawback
for the most serious issues.
As part of our standard process, reports
on the most material risk, audit and
conduct issues are presented to the
People & Culture, Risk and Audit
Committees at a joint meeting. This
information is considered by the Board
when considering the performance
of the Group, the ANZIP variable
remuneration pool for all employees and
in determining the performance and
remuneration outcomes of the CEO
and Disclosed Executives.
6.2 Additional Board
governance and oversight
regarding the Markets and
non-financial risk matters
in 2024
Further to consideration of material risk,
audit and conduct events, the Board put
in place in 2024 additional governance to
ensure it is well placed to determine
accountability consequences on issues
associated with the various Markets
matters. As part of the additional
governance, the Board also considered
ANZ’s NFR framework, particularly the
additional $250m capital overlay issued
by APRA.
In reviewing these matters, and to ensure
the application of fair and proportionate
consequences that are based on clearly
established evidence and facts, the Board:
• appointed its own independent legal
advisors to review material resulting
from three external reviews, and an
independent Markets expert to ensure
Board independence and that FAR
obligations had been met;
• established a sub-committee
consisting of the Board Chair and three
Board directors with experience in
Markets trading;
• spent considerable time deliberating
remuneration outcomes for the CEO
and Disclosed Executives taking into
consideration the findings from the
accountability reviews, and the fact that
the Executive Committee have collective
accountability for the performance of
the bank; and
• sought independent advice in relation
to the application of the remuneration
consequences for the CEO and
Disclosed Executives.
The Board views that relevant Executive
Committee members should bear
appropriate accountability for actions
and outcomes that took place within
their area of control or influence,
irrespective of whether they themselves
were personally involved or were
otherwise at fault, by virtue of their role
and seniority. Similarly, with respect to
the NFR matters, the Board considered
it appropriate to hold the Executive
Committee collectively accountable.
The Board has determined for the
CEO and Disclosed Executives, that the
deferred remuneration available in
November/December 2024, should vest
in full (subject to performance hurdles).
However, as investigations into the matters
above are ongoing, the Board view that
there is sufficient deferred remuneration
on-foot (Section 9.3), to apply downward
adjustment should further information
come to light that justifies the application
of additional consequences.

6.3 Summary of consequences applied to the CEO and Disclosed Executives
The following summarises how consequences related to the Markets and NFR matters have been considered overall for the CEO
and Disclosed Executives (DEs), both in terms of ANZ’s performance and remuneration framework and the additional Board
governance put in place to address these issues in 2024.
Summary of 2024 Consequence Approach and Outcomes
Note, no malus or clawback was applied to the remuneration of the CEO and Disclosed Executives during 2024.
While the 2024 Remuneration Report focuses on consequences for the CEO and Disclosed Executives, the Board has and will
continue to provide oversight (as appropriate), of consequence considerations for other current and former employees should there
be findings of accountability regarding the Markets matters.
6.4 Role of the Enterprise Accountability Group
The Enterprise Accountability Group (EAG) is the governance mechanism for the operation of the Accountability and Consequence
Framework (A&CF), and reviews accountability and consequences for employees below the CEO and ExCo/Disclosed Executives.
The EAG is chaired by the CEO and members include the CRO, CFO and GE T&C. It operates under the delegated authority of
the People & Culture Committee, considering Accountability questions under FAR and accountability in its broader sense, and is
responsible for:
• supporting the Board in monitoring the implementation and ongoing effectiveness of ANZ’s A&CF;
• reviewing the most material risk, conduct and audit events for accountability and the application of consequences,
where appropriate;
• providing guidance to the Divisions and considering initiatives across the Divisions to strengthen risk behaviours;
• acknowledging material positive risk events and recognising risk role models, whose achievements are profiled across the
organisation; and
• approving the release or application of downward adjustment for deferred variable remuneration (noting that for the CEO and
Disclosed Executives this is approved by the Board).
The EAG has processes in place to ensure that we mitigate the risk of conflicts of interest in reviewing events and determining
accountability and consequences. For example, when undertaking accountability reviews, a recommendation regarding the review
leader and scope must be sent to the CRO (or in the case of an event involving Group Risk to the CEO), for review and approval to
ensure the individual is capable of undertaking an impartial and unbiased review.

6.3 Summary of consequences applied to the CEO and Disclosed Executives
The following summarises how consequences related to the Markets and NFR matters have been considered overall for the CEO
and Disclosed Executives (DEs), both in terms of ANZ’s performance and remuneration framework and the additional Board
governance put in place to address these issues in 2024.
Summary of 2024 Consequence Approach and Outcomes
Note, no malus or clawback was applied to the remuneration of the CEO and Disclosed Executives during 2024.
While the 2024 Remuneration Report focuses on consequences for the CEO and Disclosed Executives, the Board has and will
continue to provide oversight (as appropriate), of consequence considerations for other current and former employees should there
be findings of accountability regarding the Markets matters.
6.4 Role of the Enterprise Accountability Group
The Enterprise Accountability Group (EAG) is the governance mechanism for the operation of the Accountability and Consequence
Framework (A&CF), and reviews accountability and consequences for employees below the CEO and ExCo/Disclosed Executives.
The EAG is chaired by the CEO and members include the CRO, CFO and GE T&C. It operates under the delegated authority of
the People & Culture Committee, considering Accountability questions under FAR and accountability in its broader sense, and is
responsible for:
• supporting the Board in monitoring the implementation and ongoing effectiveness of ANZ’s A&CF;
• reviewing the most material risk, conduct and audit events for accountability and the application of consequences,
where appropriate;
• providing guidance to the Divisions and considering initiatives across the Divisions to strengthen risk behaviours;
• acknowledging material positive risk events and recognising risk role models, whose achievements are profiled across the
organisation; and
• approving the release or application of downward adjustment for deferred variable remuneration (noting that for the CEO and
Disclosed Executives this is approved by the Board).
The EAG has processes in place to ensure that we mitigate the risk of conflicts of interest in reviewing events and determining
accountability and consequences. For example, when undertaking accountability reviews, a recommendation regarding the review
leader and scope must be sent to the CRO (or in the case of an event involving Group Risk to the CEO), for review and approval to
ensure the individual is capable of undertaking an impartial and unbiased review.

6.5 Material positive
risk events
The EAG reviews material positive risk
decisions and events – times when our
proactive approach to identifying and
mitigating risk have had a material positive
outcome. Reviewing these examples
provides an opportunity to acknowledge
the importance of these events and share
learnings across the enterprise.
6.6 Risk role models
In 2024, 104 individuals were recognised
by the EAG for role modelling outstanding
risk behaviours through their efforts to
identify, manage and mitigate the
organisation’s risks and contribute to our
strong risk culture. Recognition provided
included a personalised e-mail from the
CEO, local recognition events, and having
their achievement profiled on our intranet
and in internal newsletters.
6.7 Compliance with
Prudential Standard
CPS 511 Remuneration
ANZ’s A&CF is an integral part of our
enterprise approach to meeting the
requirements of APRA’s Prudential
Standard CPS 511 Remuneration.
We introduced clawback provisions for the
CEO and our Disclosed Executives effective
2022, in addition to existing downward
adjustment tools such as in year
adjustment, further deferral and malus.
In 2024, we have continued to raise
employee awareness with respect to
accountability and consequences
through explicit references to the A&CF
(including remuneration consequences) in
employee training and communications
and performance and remuneration
policy documents.
In addition, as part of our annual
performance and remuneration process,
we have provided our People Leaders with
guidance regarding appropriate (and in
1. Results reported are taken from the Q2 and/or Q4 employee engagement surveys, and Risk Culture Survey.
some cases, mandatory) remuneration
consequences for conduct and
performance issues, including insights
from the previous year’s consequences
applied. These activities are part of our
continued focus on consistency in
application of remuneration consequence
across ANZ globally.
6.8 Evolving the Accountability
& Consequence Framework
Our A&CF is designed to support our
customer commitment that when things
go wrong, we fix them and hold
executives, (current and former where we
can), to account where appropriate. We
are also focused on ensuring that we learn
from the cause of the event, mitigate the
risk of future recurrences and continuously
seek to strengthen our risk culture. We
review the effectiveness of the A&CF
every year and implement enhancements
to further strengthen the A&CF based on
regulatory and internal stakeholder input.
6.9 Speak up culture
We continue to raise employee awareness
of, and promote the various ways
employees can speak up and raise issues
and ideas for improvement including
through initiatives such as:
• targeted jurisdiction and business
specific awareness sessions, designed
to build trust in the process and
program and promote speak up
channels;
• digital communications designed to
build confidence and trust in the
Whistleblower Program and process;
and
• the monitoring of responses in our
employee engagement surveys.
Key risk and speak up scores, including
‘My manager (the person I report to)
demonstrates personal accountability for
managing risk and sound risk behaviours
(92%)‘, ‘I can raise issues and concerns
without fear of reprisals’ (77%), ‘In my
team, it feels safe to ask questions, make
mistakes, highlight problems & take social
risks (85%)’ and ‘When I speak up, my
ideas, opinions and concerns are heard’
(81%) remained strong, in keeping with
2023, 2022 and 2021 results.

6.10 Application of
consequences
In 2024, there were 1,400 employee
relations cases involving alleged breaches
of our Code, with 488 resulting in a formal
consequence or the employee leaving
ANZ, down from 501 in 2023. Breaches
ranged from compliance/procedural
breaches (20.7%), through to general
unacceptable behaviour (38.5%), email/
systems misuse (10.5%), attendance
issues (17.4%), fraud/theft (5.5%), conflict
of interest (3.7%) and breaches of our
Equal Opportunity, Bullying and
Harassment Policy (3.7%). Outcomes
following investigations of breaches this
year included 88 terminations, 306
warnings and 94 employees leaving ANZ.
In relation to the application of
consequences to our senior leadership
population (senior executives, executives
and senior managers), 20 current and
former employees (30 in 2023) had a
consequence applied as a result of the
application of our Code of Conduct Policy
and/or findings of accountability for a
relevant event. Consequences included
warnings, impacts on performance and
remuneration outcomes and dismissal.
All employees and contractors across the
enterprise are required to complete
mandatory learning modules. Permanent
employees who fail to complete their
mandatory learning requirements within
30 days of the due date are (in the
absence of genuinely exceptional
circumstances) ineligible for any FR
increase or variable remuneration award
as part of our annual Performance and
Remuneration Review. In 2024, the
mandatory learning course compliance
rate across the enterprise was 99.73%.

7.1 NED Remuneration structure
A review of 2024 NED fees was completed by the People & Culture Committee in September 2023. Following that review of 2024 fees
(as previously disclosed in the 2023 Remuneration Report), the People & Culture Committee approved a 2% increase to the NED
member fee (from $240,000 to $245,000) which has remained unchanged since 2016. The Board Chairman fee remains unchanged.
Following review, the People & Culture Committee also approved the alignment of the fee structure across all Committees increasing
each Committee chair fee to $68,000, and each Committee member fee to $34,000. This fee review considered increased complexity
in the regulatory environment, uplifts for ANZ’s broader employee population, and the external market.
The fee structure is applicable to NEDs of ANZGHL and ANZBGL. Fees prior to the implementation of the Non-Operating Holding
Company (NOHC) structure related to membership of the ANZBGL Board, and post implementation are viewed as a single fee covering
both Boards (i.e., membership of ANZGHL and ANZBGL Boards/Committees). Currently the fee structure applies irrespective of whether
NEDs serve on one or more Boards.
NEDs receive a fee for being a Director of the Board, and additional fees for either chairing, or being a member of a Board Committee.
The Chairman of the Board does not receive additional fees for serving on a Board Committee.
In setting Board and Committee fees, the following are considered: general industry practice, ASX Corporate Governance Principles and
Recommendations, the responsibilities and risks attached to the NED role, the time commitment expected of NEDs on Group and
Company matters, and fees paid to NEDs of comparable companies.
ANZ compares NED fees to a comparator group of Australian listed companies with a similar market capitalisation, with particular focus
on the major financial services institutions. This is considered an appropriate group, given similarity in size and complexity, nature of
work and time commitment by NEDs.
To maintain NED independence and impartiality:
• NED fees are not linked to the performance of the Group; and
• NEDs are not eligible to participate in any of the Group’s variable remuneration arrangements.
The current aggregate fee pool for NEDs of $4m was approved by shareholders at the 2012 AGM. The annual total of NEDs’ fees,
including superannuation contributions, is within this agreed limit.

NED shareholding guidelines
We expect our NEDs to hold ANZ shares. NEDs are required:
• to accumulate shares – over a five-year period from their appointment to the value of:
–100% of the NED member fee for Directors;

8.1 The People &
Culture Committee
8.1.1 Role of the People &
Culture Committee
The Board is ultimately responsible for and
oversees ANZ Group’s Performance and
Remuneration Framework (P&R
Framework) and its effective application
throughout the ANZ Group. The People &
Culture Committee’s role is to assist the
Board in its oversight of the effective
operation of P&R Framework and other
T&C matters. It has been delegated
authority to act as the remuneration
committee for ANZBGL.
During the year the People & Culture
Committee met on six occasions and
reviewed and approved, or made
recommendations to the Board on
matters including:
• remuneration for the CEO and other key
executives (broader than those
disclosed in the Remuneration Report)
in accordance with ANZ’s Board level
P&R Policies, and fees for the NEDs;
• matters related to P&R Framework
compliance with APRA’s Prudential
Standard CPS 511 Remuneration, and
updates on Treasury’s Financial
Accountability Regime (FAR);
• the ANZ Group Scorecard (annual
objectives setting and assessment) and
annual variable remuneration spend;
• performance and reward outcomes for
key senior executives, including the
consideration of material events that
have either occurred or came to light in
the year;
• the release, further deferral or
application of malus of deferred
remuneration or clawback;
• key senior executive appointments
and terminations;
• the review of ANZ’s Board level P&R
Policies, and the Accountability &
Consequence Framework (A&CF);
• building capabilities required to
deliver on our strategy;
• succession plans for key senior
executives; and
• culture, diversity and inclusion,
employee engagement, and how
we work.
8.1.2 Link between
remuneration and risk
The People & Culture Committee has a
strong focus on the relationship between
business performance, risk management
and remuneration, aligned with our
business strategy. The chairs of the Risk
and Audit Committees and the full Board
(ANZGHL and ANZBGL) are in attendance
for specific People & Culture Committee
meetings. A joint meeting of the People &
Culture, Risk and Audit Committees was
held to review:
• material risk, conduct and audit
events that either occurred or came
to light in 2024;
• 2024 performance and variable
remuneration recommendations at
both the Group, CEO and Disclosed
Executive level.
To further reflect the importance of the
link between remuneration and risk:
• the Board had three NEDs (in addition to
the Chairman) in 2024 who served on
both the People & Culture Committee
and the Risk Committee;
• the People & Culture Committee has
free and unfettered access to risk and
financial control personnel (the CRO
and CFO attend People & Culture
Committee meetings for specific
agenda items);
• the CRO (together with GE T&C and
GGM IA) provides an independent
report to the People & Culture
Committee on the most material risk,
conduct and audit events (as relevant)
to help inform considerations of
performance and remuneration, and
accountability and consequences at the
Group, Divisional and individual level;
• the CRO also provides an independent
report to assist the Board in their
assessment of performance and
remuneration outcomes for the CEO
and Disclosed Executives;
• the chairs of the Risk and Audit
Committees are asked to provide input
to ensure appropriate consideration of
all relevant risk and internal audit issues;
• the ANZ Group Scorecard and Divisional
Scorecards include Risk as a key
element acting as a modifier, and it
forms an integral part of each
framework’s assessment and directly
impacts the overall outcomes; and
• the LTVR restricted rights pre grant and
pre vest assessments undertaken by
the Board are primarily based on
non-financial risk outcomes.
8.1.3 Conflict of interest
To help mitigate potential conflicts of
interest:
• management are not in attendance
when their own performance or
remuneration is being discussed by the
People & Culture Committee or Board;
• the CEO’s STVR is funded and
determined separately from the ANZIP
variable remuneration pool;
• the CRO’s remuneration arrangements
differ to other Disclosed Executives to
preserve the independence of the role;
• the EAG also has processes in place to
help mitigate conflicts of interest as
outlined in Section 6; and
• the People & Culture Committee seeks
input from a number of sources to
inform their consideration of
performance and remuneration
outcomes for the CEO and Disclosed
Executives including:
–independent reports from Risk,
Finance, Talent and Culture, and
Internal Audit;
–material risk, conduct and audit event
data provided by the CRO;
– input from both the Audit Committee
and the Risk Committee of the Board.

non-financial risk outcomes.
8.1.3 Conflict of interest
To help mitigate potential conflicts of
interest:
• management are not in attendance
when their own performance or
remuneration is being discussed by the
People & Culture Committee or Board;
• the CEO’s STVR is funded and
determined separately from the ANZIP
variable remuneration pool;
• the CRO’s remuneration arrangements
differ to other Disclosed Executives to
preserve the independence of the role;
• the EAG also has processes in place to
help mitigate conflicts of interest as
outlined in Section 6; and
• the People & Culture Committee seeks
input from a number of sources to
inform their consideration of
performance and remuneration
outcomes for the CEO and Disclosed
Executives including:
–independent reports from Risk,
Finance, Talent and Culture, and
Internal Audit;
–material risk, conduct and audit event
data provided by the CRO;
– input from both the Audit Committee
and the Risk Committee of the Board.
More details about the role of the People & Culture Committee, including its Charter,
can be found on our website. Go to anz.com > Our company > Strong governance
framework > ANZ People & Culture Committee Charter.

62Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report
8.1.4 External advisors provided information but not recommendations
The People & Culture Committee can engage independent external advisors as needed.
Throughout the year, the People & Culture Committee and management received information from the following external advisors:
Ashurst, Deloitte, EY, Guerdon Associates, PayIQ Executive Pay and PricewaterhouseCoopers. This information related to market data,
market practices, analysis and modelling, legislative requirements and the interpretation of governance and regulatory requirements.
During the year, ANZ did not receive any remuneration recommendations from external advisors about the remuneration of KMP.
ANZ employs in-house remuneration professionals who provide recommendations to the People & Culture Committee and the Board.
The Board made its decisions independently, using the information provided and with careful regard to ANZ’s key strategic priorities,
purpose and values, risk appetite, and the ANZ Group P&R Framework, ANZ’s Board level P&R Policies and ANZ’s Reward Principles.
8.2 Internal governance
8.2.1 Hedging prohibition
All deferred equity must remain at risk until it has fully vested. Accordingly, executives and their associated persons must not enter into
any schemes that specifically protect the unvested value of equity allocated. If they do so, then they would forfeit the relevant equity.
8.2.2 CEO and Disclosed Executives’ shareholding guidelines
We expect the CEO and each Disclosed Executive to, over a five-year period:
• accumulate ANZ shares to the value of 200% of their FR; and
• maintain this shareholding level while they are an executive of ANZ.
Executives are permitted to sell ANZ securities to meet taxation obligations on employee equity even if below the 200% guideline.
However, tax obligations for the purpose of these guidelines is limited to that arising from the initial taxing point event (i.e., when the
deferred shares vest or rights are exercised).
Shareholdings include all vested and unvested equity (excluding performance rights). Based on equity holdings as at 30 September
2024, the CEO and all Disclosed Executives meet or, if less than five years’ tenure, are on track to meet their minimum shareholding
guidelines requirements.
8.2.3 CEO and Disclosed Executives’ contract terms and equity treatment
The details of the contract terms and the equity treatment on termination (in accordance with the Conditions of Grant) relating to the
CEO and Disclosed Executives are below. Although they are similar, they vary in some cases to suit different circumstances.
Type of contractPermanent ongoing employment contract.
Notice on resignation• 12 months by CEO;
• 6 months by Disclosed Executives.
1
Notice on termination
by ANZ
2
• 12 months by ANZ for CEO and Disclosed Executives.
3
However, ANZ may immediately terminate an individual’s employment at any time in the case of serious
misconduct. In that case, the individual will be entitled only to payment of FR up to the date of their
termination and their statutory entitlements.
How unvested equity is
treated on leaving ANZ
Executives who resign or are terminated will forfeit all their unvested deferred equity – unless the Board
determines otherwise.
If an executive is terminated due to redundancy or they are classified as a ‘good leaver’, unless the
Board determines otherwise, then:
• their STVR (deferred shares/share rights) remain on foot and are released at the original vesting date;
• their LTVR (restricted rights/performance rights) (for grants awarded from 31 December 2020) remain
on foot and are released at the original vesting date (to the extent that the performance hurdles are
met); and
• their performance rights
4
(for grants awarded pre 31 December 2020) are pro-rated for service to
the full notice termination date and released at the original vesting date (to the extent that the
performance hurdles are met).
On an executive’s death or total and permanent disablement, their deferred equity vests.
Unvested equity remains subject to malus post termination.
Change of control
(applies to the CEO only)
If a change of control or other similar event occurs, then we will test the performance conditions
applying to the CEO’s LTVR (restricted rights/performance rights). They will vest to the extent that the
performance conditions are satisfied.
1. 3 months by the former Acting GE T&C. 2. For M Carnegie, E Clements, K Corbally, F Faruqui, G Florian, C Morgan, A Strong, M Whelan and R Howell, their contracts state that in
particular circumstances they may be eligible for a retrenchment benefit in accordance with the relevant ANZ policy, as varied from time to time. For A Watson, notice on retrenchment
is 6 weeks and compensation on retrenchment is calculated on a scale up to a maximum of 79 weeks after 25 years’ service. 3. 6 months by ANZ for the former Acting GE T&C. 4. Or

9.1 LTVR Remuneration detail
1
The award of restricted rights ensures that LTVR provides material weight to non-financial measures (as required under APRA’s
Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration), as well as supporting long-term alignment with shareholders.
Having a risk-based focus reflects the intent of the Prudential Standard CPS 511 Remuneration in ensuring remuneration arrangements
appropriately incentivise individuals to prudently manage risks. The performance conditions are designed to ensure there is focus on
both material risk events and building a strong risk culture over the longer term.
The following table details design features common to both LTVR restricted rights and performance rights.
Below details the LTVR approach that applied to the 2024 LTVR award granted in November/December 2023.
LTVR elementDetail
DescriptionRestricted rights and performance rights provide a right to acquire one ordinary ANZ share at nil cost –
as long as applicable time and performance conditions are met. Their future value may range from zero to
an indeterminate value. The value depends on performance against the applicable performance condition
and on the share price at the time of exercise.
Performance periodBoth restricted rights and performance rights have a four-year performance period commencing from
1 October and ending four years later on 30 September (e.g., 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2027 for
the 2024 grant), noting that LTVR is awarded at the start of the financial year (rather than the end).
A four-year performance period provides sufficient time for longer term performance to be reflected.
Deferral periodsThe deferral period is the sum of the four-year performance period and the applicable holding period.
The holding period commences the day after the end of the four-year performance period (e.g., 1 October
2027 in the case of the 2024 LTVR award), and finishes on the 4th, 5th or 6th anniversary of grants.
Exercise periodRights can only be exercised at the end of the relevant deferral period (4, 5 or 6 years) when the rights vest
and become exercisable.
There is a two-year exercise period which commences at the end of the relevant deferral period for restricted
rights and performance rights.
ExpensingANZ engages PricewaterhouseCoopers to independently determine the fair value of restricted rights and
performance rights, which is only used for expensing for accounting purposes. They consider factors including:
the market performance conditions, share price volatility, life of the instrument, dividend yield, and share price
at grant date.
DividendsA dividend equivalent payment (DEP) is paid in cash at the end of the relevant deferral period, but is only made
to the extent that all or part of the underlying rights meet the relevant performance condition and vest to the
individual. Dividend equivalent payments accrue over the full deferral period for restricted rights, and only
during the holding period for performance rights.
Allocation basisThe value the Board uses to determine the number of restricted rights and performance rights to be allocated
to the CEO and Disclosed Executives is the face value of ANZGHL shares traded on the ASX in the five trading
days leading up to and including 1 October (beginning of the financial year and LTVR performance period).
LTVR is awarded around the start of the financial year in late November for Disclosed Executives and
December for the CEO (subject to shareholder approval).
Satisfying vestingOn vesting, the Board may determine to settle the relevant restricted rights and/or performance rights with
a cash equivalent payment, rather than with shares.

Restricted rights
pre grant and pre
vest assessments
Pre grant assessment purpose: Determines whether any reduction should be made to restricted rights award
value and is primarily based on outcomes in the prior financial year.
Pre vest assessment purpose: Determines whether the restricted rights amount awarded should vest in full
and is based on outcomes over the four-year performance period.
The pre grant and pre vest assessments also take into consideration any adjustments already applied for the
same event/outcomes in either the current or prior years (i.e., adjustments to STVR and LTVR, malus and
clawback), to ensure the overall impact is fair and proportionate to the severity of the outcome. Therefore,
given other remuneration adjustments are likely to be considered first, and as the award of restricted rights is
future focused, it is anticipated that restricted rights will be allocated at full value in most years – unless the
outcome of the following three assessment steps determines otherwise.
Step 1
Assess Prudential soundness
Step 2
Assess risk measures
Step 3
Apply Board discretion
• Nil award if ANZ does not
meet capital ratio and
liquidity prudential
minimums.
• Consideration of any Material
Risk Outcomes from executive
actions or inactions which are
expected to/or have resulted in
significant impacts.
• Consideration of any significant
adverse change in APRA’s
Active Supervision level.
• Consideration of Risk Culture
(additional measure for pre vest)
that examines whether or not
ANZ has maintained (or made
progress towards) a sound risk
culture, considering both
executive actions or inactions.
• Board to determine whether any
reduction should be made to LTVR
restricted rights outcome based on
consideration of a range of factors,
including:
–the outcomes from steps 1 and
2;
–the impact, if any, of the issue/s
on ANZ’s reputation/standing in
the market;
–whether the issue was specific to
ANZ, the banking industry or the
broader market;
–any impacts already applied (e.g.,
regarding downward adjustment
mechanisms, pre grant
assessment impact to LTVR
restricted rights);
–whether any impact should be
made on an individual or
collective basis.
The assessments are not intended to be formulaic given the circumstances requiring the application of Board
discretion will typically be different or unique, however a Board decision making framework is in place to guide
the Board in applying discretion.
Material risk
outcomes process
The consideration of material risk outcomes is a key process that forms part of our broader Accountability and
Consequence Framework (A&CF) (Section 6), and is a comprehensive bottom-up process designed to ensure
that all relevant events are surfaced and considered appropriately. Key steps include:
• Risk, conduct and audit events are reported in ANZ’s Compliance & Operational Risk System.
• Divisional Accountability Groups review serious risk, conduct and audit events, and provide
recommendations regarding accountability and consequences, where appropriate.
• Enterprise Accountability Group (EAG) reviews recommendations of the Divisional Accountability Groups and
make final determination (with some exceptions where local Board approval is required or for material risk
takers and other non-administrative direct reports to the CEO, where Board approval is required).
• People & Culture Committee reviews the most serious risk, conduct and audit events (as part of independent
report from CRO) and determines impacts at the Group, Division and individual level for the CEO and ExCo.

9.1.2 2024 LTVR performance rights further details – CEO and Disclosed Executives excluding the CRO
1
LTVR elementPerformance condition detail
Performance rights
hurdles
The performance rights have TSR performance hurdles reflecting the importance of focusing on achieving
longer term strategic objectives and aligning executives’ and shareholders’ interests. There are two TSR
performance hurdles for the 2024 grants of performance rights:
• 75% will be measured against a relative TSR hurdle.
• 25% will be measured against an absolute TSR hurdle.
TSR represents the change in value of a share plus the value of reinvested dividends paid. We regard it as the
most appropriate long-term measure – it focuses on the delivery of shareholder value and is a well understood
and tested mechanism to measure performance. The combination of relative and absolute TSR hurdles
provides balance to the plan by:
• Relative: rewarding executives for performance that exceeds that of comparator companies; and
• Absolute: ensuring there is a continued focus on providing positive growth – even when the market
is declining.
The two hurdles measure separate aspects of performance:
• the relative TSR hurdle measures our TSR compared to that of the Select Financial Services (SFS) comparator
group, made up of core local and global competitors. This comparator group is chosen to broadly reflect the
geographies and business segments in which ANZ competes for revenue; and
• the absolute Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) TSR hurdle provides executives with a more direct line
of sight to the level of shareholder return to be achieved. It also provides a tighter correlation between the
executives’ rewards and the shareholders’ financial outcomes.
We will measure ANZ’s TSR against each hurdle at the end of the four-year performance period to determine
whether any performance rights become exercisable. We measure relative and absolute TSR hurdles
independently from the other – for example one may vest fully or partially but the other may not vest.
Relative TSR hurdle
for performance
rights
The relative TSR hurdle is an external hurdle that measures our TSR against that of the SFS comparator group
over four years.
As previously disclosed in the 2023 Remuneration Report, in July 2023 for LTVR awards of performance rights
from financial year 2024 onwards, the Board approved for DBS Bank Limited to be removed from the
comparator group (noting that this change does not apply to prior awards currently on foot). This change
reflects the need to better balance the weighting of international peers in our comparator group to more
appropriately reflect the change in capital allocated to Asia compared to when international comparators were
originally included in 2015 (as part of the super regional strategy at that time).
In July 2023, the Board approved the removal of Suncorp Group Limited from the comparator group, post the
Suncorp Bank acquisition. This change applies to both prior awards currently on foot and future LTVR awards
of performance rights (i.e., from financial year 2025).
When considering an appropriate cohort of peers for benchmarking TSR performance, the Board take into
consideration organisations with a similar scope of activities, common geographical focus, broadly comparable
risk compliance and regulatory profiles, and relative stability and transparency across market cycles. The SFS
comparator group for the 2024 LTVR performance rights is made up of: Bank of Queensland Limited; Bendigo
and Adelaide Bank Limited; Commonwealth Bank of Australia Limited; Macquarie Group Limited; National
Australia Bank Limited; Standard Chartered PLC; and Westpac Banking Corporation.

the constituents of the comparator group:

Absolute TSR hurdle
for performance
rights
The absolute CAGR TSR hurdle is an internal hurdle focused on ANZ achieving or exceeding a threshold level of
growth that is set by the Board at the start of the performance period. The Board reviews and approves the
absolute CAGR TSR targets for each performance rights award. When determining the targets, the Board
references ANZ’s assessed Cost of Capital (CoC).
As previously disclosed in the 2023 Remuneration Report, in October 2023 the Board approved an update to
ANZ’s absolute CAGR TSR model for LTVR awards of performance rights from financial year 2024 onwards, to
reflect a dynamic (rather than static) target for CoC (noting that this change does not apply to prior awards
currently on foot). The TSR hurdle is now based on the time weighted CoC over the four-year performance
period. Therefore, the CAGR TSR target will be adjusted on a time weighted basis unless the Board applies
discretion not to adjust.
Any CoC changes approved by the Board throughout the performance period are prospective only (i.e., reflect
current market factors) and will form part of the dynamic CAGR TSR target calculation. This approach further
strengthens executive and shareholder alignment as the target is more responsive to future changes in both
the interest rate cycle and ANZ’s risk profile.
The level of performance required for each level of vesting, and the percentage of performance rights that vest
at each level of performance, is based on the time weighted CoC over the four-year performance period. The
Board will review and approve any changes to the CoC on a quarterly basis throughout the performance
period, based on the output from the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) methodology (which takes into
consideration the risk-free bond rate, the market risk premium and the beta – i.e., the volatility of ANZ’s
historical share price relative to the market). The Board will also approve the level of vesting (if any) at the end of
the performance period based on the time weighted CoC.
The Board retains discretion to adjust the absolute CAGR TSR hurdle in exceptional circumstances to ensure
that executives are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by matters outside management’s control that
materially affect achievement of the absolute CAGR TSR performance condition.
If the absolute CAGR TSR of the company:The percentage of performance rights which will

vesting level (i.e., 150% of threshold)
Progressive pro-rata vesting between 50% and

Reaches or exceeds 150% of threshold100%
Calculating TSR
performance
When calculating performance against TSR, we:
• reduce the impact of share price volatility – by using an averaging calculation over a 90-trading day period
for start and end values;
• ensure an independent measurement – by engaging the services of an external organisation, to calculate
ANZ’s performance against both the absolute and relative TSR hurdles; and
• test the performance against the relevant hurdle once only at the end of the four-year performance period
– the rights lapse if the performance hurdle is not met – there is no retesting.
1. Based on the CoC at the start of the performance period, the CAGR TSR threshold was 9.75% and the full vesting level was based on a CAGR TSR of 14.63%; however this may be
subject to change based on the time weighted CoC over the performance period unless the Board exercises discretion to set it otherwise.

1. Cash salary includes any adjustments required to reflect the use of ANZ’s Lifestyle Leave Policy for the period in the KMP role. 2. Non monetary benefits generally consist of
company-funded benefits (and the associated Fringe Benefits Tax) such as car parking, taxation services and costs met by the Company in relation to relocation/accommodation.
3. The total cash incentive relates to the cash component of STVR only. The relevant amortisation of the STVR deferred components is included in share-based payments and has been
amortised over the vesting period. The total STVR was approved by the ANZBGL and ANZGHL Boards in October 2024, and in addition for A Watson by the ANZ NZ Board in October
2024. 100% of the cash component of the STVR awarded for the 2023 and 2024 years vested to the executive in the applicable financial year. 4. Other cash and other equity
allocations (C Morgan) relate to the employment arrangements of deferred variable remuneration forfeited and bonus opportunity forgone as a result of joining ANZ. 5. For Australian
based executives, the 2023 and 2024 superannuation contributions reflect the Superannuation Guarantee Contribution based on the Maximum Contribution Base. A Watson
participates in KiwiSaver where ANZ provides an employer superannuation contribution matching member contributions up to 4% of total gross pay. KiwiSaver employer superannuation
contributions are also contributed on top of cash STVR at the time of payment. 6. For Australian based executives, long service leave accrued takes into consideration the impact of
changes to the Superannuation Guarantee percentage. Year-on-year fluctuations in long service leave accrued relate to the impact of historical fixed remuneration increases on the
accrual as calculated at the end of each financial year.

9.2 2024 Statutory remuneration – CEO and Disclosed Executives
The following table outlines the statutory remuneration disclosed in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. While it shows
the FR awarded (cash and superannuation contributions) and also the cash component of the 2024 variable remuneration award, it
does not show the actual variable remuneration awarded or received in 2024 (Sections 5.1.2, 5.2.1, 5.3 and 5.4), but instead shows
the amortised accounting value for this financial year of deferred remuneration (including prior year awards).

7. As required by AASB 2 Share-based payments, the amortisation value includes a proportion of the fair value (taking into account market-related vesting conditions) of all equity that
had not yet fully vested as at the commencement of the financial year. The fair value is determined at grant date and is allocated on a straight-line basis over the relevant vesting period.
The amount included as remuneration neither relates to, nor indicates, the benefit (if any) that the executive may ultimately realise if the equity becomes exercisable. No terms of
share-based payments have been altered or modified during the financial year. There were no cash settled share-based payments or any other form of share-based payment
compensation during the financial year for the CEO or Disclosed Executives. 8. Other equity allocations (A Watson) relate to shares received in relation to the historical Employee Share
Offer which provided a grant of ANZ shares in each financial year to eligible employees subject to Board approval. 9. 2024 fixed remuneration reflects increases applied from 1 October
2023 to maintain or improve market positioning (M Carnegie, K Corbally, F Faruqui, G Florian, C Morgan, A Strong, A Watson, M Whelan). 10. Remuneration based on time as a
Disclosed Executive in either 2023 (C Morgan, A Strong, R Howell) or 2024 (E Clements, R Howell). 11. Paid in NZD and converted to AUD.

72Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report
1. For the purpose of the five highest paid executive disclosures, Executives are defined as Disclosed Executives or other members of the ExCo. For the 2024 financial year the five highest
paid executives include five Disclosed Executives. Rights granted to Disclosed Executives as remuneration in 2024 are included in the table. No rights have been granted to the CEO,
Disclosed Executives or the five highest paid executives since the end of 2024 up to the Directors’ Report sign-off date. 2. The point in time value of deferred shares/deferred share rights
and/or restricted rights/performance rights is based on the one day VWAP of the Company’s shares traded on the ASX on the date of vesting, lapsing/forfeiture or exercising/sale/transfer
out of trust, multiplied by the number of deferred shares/deferred share rights and/or restricted rights/performance rights. The exercise price for all deferred share rights/restricted rights/
performance rights is $0.00. No terms or conditions of grant of the share-based payment transactions have been altered or modified during the reporting period. 3. The number vested
and exercisable is the number of shares, options and rights that remain vested at the end of the reporting period. No shares, options and rights were vested and unexercisable.

Remuneration report on pages 34 to 75
Acquisition of Suncorp Bank
On 31 July 2024, the Group acquired
100% of the shares in SBGH Limited, the
immediate holding company of Suncorp
Bank. Suncorp Bank provides banking and
related services to retail, commercial, small
and medium enterprises and agribusiness
customers in Australia. The transaction
was undertaken to accelerate the growth
of the Group’s retail and commercial
businesses while also improving the
geographic balance of its business in
Australia.
Significant changes in state
of affairs
There have been no other significant
changes in the Group’s state of affairs
other than Acquisition of Suncorp Bank, as
described above.
Events since the end of the
financial year
Other than matters outlined in the
Financial Report, there have been no
significant events from 30 September
2024 to the date of signing this report.
Participation in political party
activities
We aim to assist the democratic process
in Australia by attending and participating
in paid events hosted by the major federal
political parties. For the year ended
30 September 2024, we contributed
$115,000 to participate in political
activities hosted by the Australian Labor
Party, the Liberal Party of Australia and the
National Party of Australia. These activities
included speeches, political functions and
conferences, and policy dialogue forums.
We disclose these contributions to the
Australian Electoral Commission (AEC),
noting the AEC’s reporting year is a
different period to the Group’s financial
year.
Modern slavery reporting
The Group is subject to Australia's Modern
Slavery Act Australian Commonwealth
Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) and United
Kingdom's Modern Slavery Act 2015.
Our Modern Slavery Statement (when
released) will set out actions taken to
identify, assess and manage modern
slavery risks in our operations and supply
chain during the 2024 financial year.
Our 2024 Modern Slavery Statement will
be available at anz.com/esgreport prior to
our Annual General Meeting.
Environmental regulation
We recognise the expectations of our
stakeholders – customers, shareholders,
staff, regulators and the community – to
operate in a way that mitigates our
environmental impact.
In Australia, we meet the requirements of
the National Greenhouse and Energy
Reporting Act 2007 (Cth), which imposes
reporting obligations where energy
production, usage or greenhouse gas
emissions trigger specified thresholds.
We do not believe that our operations are
subject to any other particular and
significant environmental regulation under
a law of the Commonwealth of Australia or
of an Australian State or Territory. We may
become subject to environmental
regulation as a
result of our lending activities in the
ordinary course of business and have
developed policies, which are reviewed on
a regular basis, to help identify and
manage such environmental matters and
regulations.
Further details of our environmental
performance, including progress against
our targets and management of ESG
material issues are available in the ESG
Supplement, ESG Data and Framework
Pack and our Climate-related financial
disclosures, at anz.com/annualreport.
External auditor
The Group’s external auditor is KPMG. The
ANZ Group appointed Peat, Marwick,
Mitchell & Co (predecessor to KPMG) in
1969.
The Board Audit Committee conducts a
formal annual performance assessment of
the external auditor, including whether to
commence an external tender for the audit.
After considering relevant factors including
tenure, audit quality, local and international
capability and experience, and
independence, the Board Audit Committee
resolved to reappoint KPMG for the
30 September 2025 financial year audit.
KPMG regularly rotates the Group Lead
Audit Engagement Partner and the
Engagement Quality Control Review
Partner with the most recent rotation being
for the financial years ended
30 September 2023 and 30 September
2020, respectively.
Non-audit services
Our Stakeholder Engagement Model for
Relationship with the External Auditor (the
Policy), which incorporates requirements
of the Corporations Act 2001 and industry
best practice, prevents the external auditor
from providing services that are perceived
to be in conflict with the role of the external
auditor or breach independence
requirements. This includes consulting
advice and sub- contracting of operational
activities normally undertaken by
management, and engagements where
the external auditor may ultimately be
required to express an opinion on its own
work.
76Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report
Our Performance (continued)
8
Specifically, the Policy:
• limits the scope of non-audit services
that may be provided;
• requires that audit, audit-related and
permitted non-audit services be
considered in light of independence
requirements and for any potential
conflicts of interest before they are
approved by the Audit Committee, or
approved by the Chair of the Audit
Committee (or delegate) and notified to
the Audit Committee; and
• requires pre-approval before the
external auditor can commence any
engagement for the Group.
Further details about the Policy can be
found in ANZGHL’s Corporate Governance
Statement.
The external auditor has confirmed to the
Audit Committee that it has:
• implemented procedures to
ensure it complies with
independence rules in applicable
jurisdictions; and
• complied with applicable policies and
regulations in those jurisdictions
regarding the provision of non-audit
services, and the Policy.
The Audit Committee has reviewed the
non-audit services provided by the
external auditor during the 2024
financial year, and has confirmed that
the provision of these services is
consistent with the Policy, compatible
with the general standard of
independence for auditors imposed
by the Corporations Act 2001 and did not
compromise the auditor independence
requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
This has been formally advised by the Audit
Committee to the Board of Directors.
The categories of non-audit services
supplied to the Group during the year
ended 30 September 2024 by the
external auditor, KPMG, or by another
person or firm on KPMG’s behalf, and the
amounts paid or payable (including GST)
by the Group are as follows:

Further details on the compensation paid
to KPMG are provided in Note 33 Auditor
Fees to the financial statements including
details of audit-related services provided
during the year of $6.79 million (2023:
$5.82 million).
For the reasons set out above, the
Directors are satisfied that the provision of
non-audit services by the external auditor
during the year ended 30 September
2024 is compatible with the general
standard of independence for external
auditors imposed by the Corporations Act
2001 and did not compromise the auditor
independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001.
Directors’ and Officers’
Indemnity
ANZBGL’s Constitution (Rule 9.1) permits
ANZBGL to:
• Indemnify any officer or employee of
ANZBGL or any of its related bodies
corporate, or its auditor, against
liabilities (so far as may be permitted
under applicable law) incurred as such
an officer, employee or auditor to a
person (other than ANZBGL or a related
body corporate), including liabilities
incurred as a result of appointment or
nomination by ANZBGL or a related
body corporate as a trustee or as an
officer or employee of another
corporation; and
• Make payments in respect of legal
costs incurred by an officer or
employee or auditor in defending an
action for a liability incurred as such an
officer, employee or auditor, or in
resisting or responding to actions taken
by a government agency, a duly
constituted Royal Commission or other
official inquiry, a liquidator, administrator,
trustee in bankruptcy or other
authorised official.
Our policy is that our employees should be
protected from any liability they incur as a
result of acting in the course of their
employment, subject to appropriate
conditions.
Under the policy, we will indemnify
employees and former employees
against any liability they incur to any third
party as a result of acting in good faith in
the course of their employment and this
extends to liability incurred as a result of
their appointment/nomination by or at
the request of the ANZ Group as an
officer or employee of another
corporation or body or as a trustee.
The indemnity is subject to applicable
law and certain exceptions.
ANZBGL has entered into Indemnity Deeds
with each of its Directors, with certain
secretaries and former Directors of
ANZBGL, and with certain employees and
other individuals who act as directors or
officers of related bodies corporate or of
another company, to indemnify them
against liabilities and legal costs of the kind
mentioned in ANZBGL’s Constitution.
During the 2024 financial year, we have
paid premiums for insurance for the
benefit of the Directors and employees
of the Group. In accordance with
common commercial practice, the
insurance prohibits disclosure of the
nature of the liability insured against and
the amount of the premium.

1. About our financial statements
General information
These are the consolidated financial statements for ANZBGL (the Company) and its controlled entities (together, the Group or Consolidated Entity) for the
year ended 30 September 2024. The Company is a publicly listed company incorporated and domiciled in Australia with debt listed on securities
exchanges. The Company is a subsidiary of ANZGHL and is regulated by APRA as an ADI. The address of the Company’s registered office and its principal
place of business is ANZ Centre, 833 Collins Street, Docklands, Victoria, Australia 3008. The Group provides banking and financial services to individuals
and business customers and operates in and across 29 markets.
On 7 November 2024, the Directors resolved to authorise the issue of these financial statements. Information in the financial statements is included only
to the extent we consider it material and relevant to the understanding of the financial statements. A disclosure is considered material and relevant if, for
example:
the amount is significant in size (quantitative factor);
the information is significant by nature (qualitative factor);
the user cannot understand the Group’s results without the specific disclosure (qualitative factor);
the information is critical to a user’s understanding of the impact of significant changes in the Group’s business during the period - for example,
business acquisitions or disposals (qualitative factor);
the information relates to an aspect of the Group’s operations that is important to its future performance (qualitative factor); and
the information is required under legislative requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, the Banking Act 1959 (Cth) or by the Group’s principal
regulators, including the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).
This section of the financial statements:
outlines the basis upon which the Group’s financial statements have been prepared; and
discusses any new accounting standards or regulations that directly impact the financial statements.
Basis of preparation
This financial report is a general purpose (Tier 1) financial report prepared by a ‘for profit’ entity, in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards
(AASs) and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), the Corporations Act 2001, and International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
We present the financial statements of the Group in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. We measure the
financial statements of each entity in the Group using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates (the functional
currency). We have rounded values to the nearest million dollars ($m), unless otherwise stated, as permitted under the ASIC Corporations (Rounding in
Financial/Directors Report) Instrument 2016/191.
Certain comparative amounts have been restated to conform with the basis of preparation in the current year.
Basis of measurement and presentation
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis - except the following assets and liabilities which we have stated
at their fair value:
derivative financial instruments and in the case of fair value hedging, a fair value adjustment made to the underlying hedged item;
financial instruments held for trading;
financial assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and
financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
In accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits we have measured defined benefit obligations using the Projected Unit Credit Method.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiaries. An entity, including a
structured entity, is considered a subsidiary of the Group when we determine that the Company has control over the entity. Control exists when the Group
is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
entity. We assess power by examining existing rights that give the Company the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the entity. We have
eliminated, on consolidation, the effect of all transactions between entities in the Group.

1. About our financial statements (continued)
Foreign currency translation
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the
reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the relevant spot rate. Any
foreign currency translation gains or losses that arise are included in profit or loss in the period they arise.
We measure translation differences on non-monetary items classified as FVTPL and report them as part of the fair value gain or loss on these items. For
non-monetary items classified as investment securities measured at FVOCI, translation differences are included in other comprehensive income.
Financial statements of foreign operations that have a functional currency that is not Australian dollars
The financial statements of our foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars for consolidation into the Group financial statements using the
following method:
Foreign currency item Exchange rate used
Assets and liabilities The reporting date rate
Equity The initial investment date rate
Income and expenses The average rate for the period – but for a significant transaction if we believe the average rate is not reasonable,
then we use the rate at the date of the transaction
Exchange differences arising from the translation of financial statements of foreign operations are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve in
equity. When we dispose of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences are transferred to profit or loss.
Fiduciary activities
The Group provides fiduciary services to third parties including custody, nominee and trustee services. This involves the Group holding assets on behalf of
third parties and making decisions regarding the purchase and sale of financial instruments. If the Group is not the beneficial owner or does not control the
assets, then we do not recognise these transactions in these financial statements, except when required by accounting standards or another legislative
requirement.
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements and applied estimates and
assumptions about past and future events. Further information on the key judgements and estimates that we consider material to the financial
statements are contained within each relevant note to the financial statements.
The global economy continues to face challenges associated with inflation and interest rate uncertainties, continuing trade and geopolitical
tensions, and impacts from climate change, which contribute to an elevated level of estimation uncertainty involved in the preparation of these
financial statements.
The Group is exposed to climate risk either directly through its operations or indirectly, for example, through lending to customers. Climate risk
may also be a driver of other risks within our risk management framework. Our most material climate risks arise from lending to business and
retail customers, which contributes to credit risk.
The Group has made various accounting estimates in this Financial Report based on forecasts of economic conditions which reflect
expectations and assumptions at 30 September 2024 about future events considered reasonable in the circumstances. Thus, there is a
considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these estimates. Actual economic conditions are likely to be different from those
forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of these differences may significantly impact accounting
estimates included in these financial statements. The significant accounting estimates impacted by these forecasts and associated
uncertainties are predominantly related to expected credit losses and recoverable amounts of non-financial assets.
The impact of these uncertainties on each of these accounting estimates is discussed in the relevant notes in this Financial Report, along with
assumptions and judgements made in relation to other key estimates. Readers should consider these disclosures in light of the inherent
uncertainties described above.

1. About our financial statements (continued)
Accounting standards adopted in the period
Accounting policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
AASB 17 Insurance Contracts
On 1 October 2023, the Group adopted AASB 17 Insurance Contracts (AASB 17) which established principles for the recognition, measurement,
presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts, and replaced AASB 4 Insurance Contracts and AASB 1023 General Insurance Contracts. Although
the overall profit recognised in respect of insurance contracts will not change over the life of contracts, the timing of revenue recognition will change.
The Group applied AASB 17 effective from 1 October 2022 and restated prior period comparative information. This resulted in a decrease in opening
retained earnings of $37 million on 1 October 2022, an increase in profit after tax (2023: $8 million), an increase in total assets (2023: $22 million), and an
increase in total liabilities (2023: $51 million) in the Australia Retail division. These adjustments were primarily driven by the impact of changes in the
pattern of recognition of revenue on insurance contracts issued, changes in the pattern of recognition of the net cost of reinsurance and the valuation of
profit commissions on reinsurance contracts held.
Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction
AASB 2021-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction amends
AASB 112 Income Taxes. It clarifies that entities are required to recognise deferred tax on transactions for which there is both an asset and a liability and
that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences which may apply to leases and decommissioning or restoration obligations. This
amendment was effective for the Group from 1 October 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Group.
International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules
The Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development published the Pillar Two Model Rules in December 2021 which are designed to ensure
large multinational enterprises pay a minimum level of tax of 15% in each of the jurisdictions where they operate. A number of countries in which the
Group operates have implemented or announced the proposed implementation of the Pillar Two rules including Australia.
As at 30 September 2024, Pillar Two draft legislation has been released in Australia but is not yet enacted or substantially enacted. The Australian Pillar
Two rules, if enacted, will be effective for the Group from 1 October 2024.
In anticipation of the legislation being enacted, the AASB issued AASB 2023-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – International Tax Return
– Pillar Two Model Rules in June 2023. The Group has applied the mandatory exemption included in para.4A of this standard and has not recognised or
disclosed any associated deferred taxes.
The Group has assessed the potential impact of the Pillar Two legislation. Based on this analysis as at the reporting date and having regard to the
historical and reasonably estimable data, the Group is not expected to have a material Pillar Two tax exposure.
Accounting standards not early adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been published but are not mandatory for the financial statements for
the year ended 30 September 2024 and have not been applied by the Group in preparing these financial statements. Further details of these are set out
below.
AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In June 2024, the AASB issued AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (AASB 18) which updates and replaces requirements for the
presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. AASB 18 introduces new defined subtotals to be presented in the consolidated Income
Statement, disclosure of management-defined performance measures and requirements for grouping of information. This standard will be effective for
the financial year beginning 1 October 2027. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.
Classification and measurement amendments to AASB 9 Financial Instruments
In July 2024, the AASB issued AASB 2024-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
which amends requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system and assessing contractual cash flow characteristics
of financial assets with environmental, social and corporate governance and similar features. The amendments will be effective for the financial year
beginning 1 October 2026. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting the amendments.
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
AASB 2022-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback amends AASB 16 Leases and specifies the
accounting for variable lease payments by seller-lessees in sale and leaseback transactions. The amendment is effective from 1 October 2024 and will
not have a material impact on the Group.

Interest income and expense
We recognise interest income and expense in net interest income for all financial instruments, including those classified as held for trading,
assets measured at FVOCI, and assets and liabilities designated at FVTPL. We use the effective interest rate method to calculate the amortised
cost of assets held at amortised cost and to recognise interest income on financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI. The effective
interest rate is the rate that discounts the stream of estimated future cash receipts or payments over the expected life of the financial instrument
or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. For assets subject to prepayment, we
determine their expected life on the basis of historical behaviour of the particular asset portfolio taking into account contractual obligations and
prepayment experience.
We recognise fees and costs, which form an integral part of the financial instrument (for example loan origination fees and costs), using the
effective interest rate method. These are presented as part of interest income or expense depending on whether the underlying financial
instrument is a financial asset or financial liability.
Major Bank Levy
The Major Bank Levy Act 2017 (levy or major bank levy) applies a rate of 0.06% to certain liabilities of ANZBGL. The levy represents a finance
cost, and it is presented as interest expense in the Income Statement.

instrument is a financial asset or financial liability.
Major Bank Levy
The Major Bank Levy Act 2017 (levy or major bank levy) applies a rate of 0.06% to certain liabilities of ANZBGL. The levy represents a finance
cost, and it is presented as interest expense in the Income Statement.

Fee and commission revenue
We recognise fee and commission revenue arising from contracts with customers (a) over time when the performance obligation is satisfied
across more than one reporting period, or (b) at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied immediately or is satisfied within
one reporting period.
lending fees exclude fees treated as part of the effective yield calculation of interest income. Lending fees include certain guarantee and
commitment fees where the loan or guarantee is not likely to be drawn upon, and other fees charged for providing customers a distinct
good or service that are recognised separately from the underlying lending product.
non-lending fees include fees associated with deposit and credit card accounts, interchange fees and fees charged for specific customer
transactions such as international transaction fees. Where the Group provides multiple goods or services to a customer under the same
contract, the Group allocates the transaction price of the contract to distinct performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone
selling price of each performance obligation. Revenue is recognised as each performance obligation is satisfied.
commissions represent fees from third parties where we act as an agent by arranging a third party (such as an insurance provider) to
provide goods and services to a customer. In such cases, we are not primarily responsible for providing the underlying good or service to
the customer. If the Group collects funds on behalf of a third party when acting as an agent, we only recognise the net commission
retained as revenue. When the commission is variable based on factors outside our control (such as a trail commission), revenue is only
recognised if it is highly probable that a significant reversal of the variable amount will not be required in future periods.
funds management income represents fees earned from customers for providing financial advice and asset management services.
Revenue is recognised either at the point the financial advice is provided or over the period in which the asset management services are
delivered. Performance fees associated with funds management activities are only recognised when it becomes highly probable the
performance hurdle will be achieved.
Net foreign exchange earnings and other financial instruments income
We recognise the following as net foreign exchange earnings and other financial instruments income:
exchange rate differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and translation differences on monetary items translated at rates
different to those at which they were initially recognised or included in a previous financial report;
fair value movements (excluding realised and accrued interest) on derivatives not designated as accounting hedges that we use to manage
interest rate and foreign exchange risk on funding instruments;
the ineffective portions of fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and net investment hedges;
immediately upon sale or repayment of a hedged item, the unamortised fair value adjustments to items designated as fair value hedges
and amounts accumulated in equity related to designated cash flow hedges;
fair value movements on financial assets and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL or held for trading;
amounts released from the FVOCI reserve when a debt instrument classified as FVOCI is sold; and
the gain or loss on derecognition of financial assets or liabilities measured at amortised cost
.
Gain or loss on disposal of non-financial assets
The gain or loss on the disposal of assets is the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the proceeds of disposal net of costs.
This is recognised in Other income in the year in which control of the asset transfers to the buyer.
Share of associates’ profit/(loss)
The equity method is applied to accounting for associates. Under the equity method, our share of the after tax results of associates is included
in the Income Statement and the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

4. Operating expenses (continued)
Operating expenses
Operating expenses are recognised as services are provided to the Group, over the period in which an asset is consumed, or once a liability is
created.
Salaries and related costs - annual leave, long service leave and other employee benefits
Wages and salaries, annual leave and other employee entitlements expected to be paid or settled within twelve months of employees
rendering service are measured at their nominal amounts using remuneration rates that the Group expects to pay when the liabilities are
settled.
We accrue employee entitlements relating to long service leave using an actuarial calculation. It includes assumptions regarding staff
departures, leave utilisation and future salary increases. The result is then discounted using market yields at the reporting date. The market
yields are determined from a blended rate of high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity that closely match the estimated future cash
outflows.
If we expect to pay short term cash bonuses, then a liability is recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay
this amount (as a result of past service provided by the employee) and the obligation can be reliably measured.
Personnel expenses also include share-based payments which may be cash or equity settled. We calculate the fair value of equity settled
remuneration at grant date, which is then amortised over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in share capital or the share option
reserve as applicable. When we estimate the fair value, we take into account market vesting conditions, such as share price performance
conditions. We take non-market vesting conditions, such as service conditions, into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments
included in the expense.
After the grant of an equity-based award, the amount we recognise as an expense is reversed when non-market vesting conditions are not
met, for example an employee fails to satisfy the minimum service period specified in the award due to resignation, termination or notice of
dismissal for serious misconduct. However, we do not reverse the expense if the award does not vest due to the failure to meet a market-
based performance condition.
Further information on share-based payment schemes operated by the Group during the current and prior year is included in Note 30
Employee share and option plans.

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report
5. Income tax (continued)
Tax consolidation
The Company and all its wholly owned Australian resident entities are part of a tax-consolidated group under Australian taxation law. ANZGHL is the head
entity of the tax-consolidated group. We recognise each of the following in the separate financial statements of members of the tax consolidated group
on a ‘group allocation’ basis: tax expense/income, and deferred tax liabilities/assets that arise from temporary differences for members of the tax-
consolidated group. ANZGHL (as head entity of the tax-consolidated group) recognises current tax liabilities and assets of the tax-consolidated group.
Under a tax funding arrangement between the entities in the tax-consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable by each
member of the tax-consolidated group in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between members of the tax-consolidated group and
the head entity ANZGHL.
Members of the tax-consolidated group have also entered into a tax sharing agreement that provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities between
the entities were the head entity to default on its income tax payment obligations
.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets and liabilities
Unrecognised deferred tax assets related to unused realised tax losses (on revenue account) total $10 million (2023: $1 million) for the Group and nil
(2023: nil) for the Company.
Unrecognised deferred tax liabilities related to additional potential foreign tax costs (assuming all retained earnings in offshore branches and subsidiaries
are repatriated) total $251 million (2023: $286 million) for the Group and $27 million (2023: $30 million) for the Company.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense comprises both current and deferred taxes and is based on the accounting profit adjusted for differences in the
accounting and tax treatments of income and expenses (that is, taxable income). We recognise tax expense in profit or loss except when the
tax relates to items recognised directly in equity and other comprehensive income, in which case we recognise the tax directly in equity or
other comprehensive income respectively.
Current tax expense
Current tax is the tax we expect to pay on taxable income for the year, based on tax rates (and tax laws) which are enacted at the reporting
date. We recognise current tax as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
We account for deferred tax using the balance sheet method. Deferred tax arises because the accounting income is not always the same as
the taxable income. This creates temporary differences, which usually reverse over time. Until they reverse, we recognise a deferred tax asset,
or liability, on the balance sheet. We measure deferred taxes at the tax rates that we expect will apply to the period(s) when the asset is
realised, or the liability settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.
We offset current and
deferred tax assets and liabilities only to the extent that:
they relate to income taxes imposed by the same taxation authority;
there is a legal right and intention to settle on a net basis; and
it is allowed under the tax law
of the relevant jurisdiction.
Judgement is required in determining provisions held in respect of uncertain tax positions. The Group estimates its tax liabilities based on its
understanding of the relevant law in each of the countries in which it operates and seeks independent advice where appropriate.

made on senior capital instruments) in the financial year to which they relate; or
the Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio falls within capital range buffers specified by APRA.
If the Company fails to pay a dividend or distribution on its ANZ Capital Notes or ANZ Capital Securities on the scheduled payment date, it may (subject to
a number of exceptions) be restricted from resolving to pay or paying any dividend on the Company’s ordinary shares.

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 2024 Annual Report
7. Segment reporting
Description of segments
The Group’s operating segments are presented on a basis that is consistent with the information provided internally to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO),
who is the chief operating decision maker. This reflects the way the Group’s businesses are managed, rather than the legal structure of the Group.
We measure the performance of operating segments on a cash profit basis. To calculate cash profit, we exclude items from profit after tax attributable to
shareholders. For 2024 and 2023, the adjustments relate to impacts of economic hedges and revenue and expense hedges which represent timing
differences that will reverse through earnings in the future. Transactions between divisions across segments within the Group are conducted on an arm’s-
length basis and where relevant disclosed as part of the income and expenses of these segments.
On 31 July 2024, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in SBGH Limited, the immediate holding company of Suncorp Bank. Suncorp Bank provides
banking and related services to retail, commercial, small and medium enterprises and agribusiness customers in Australia. The transaction was undertaken
to accelerate the growth of the Group’s retail and commercial businesses while also improving the geographic balance of its business in Australia. The
2024 reported results include 2 months results for Suncorp Bank from the date of acquisition, presented as Suncorp Bank division below.
The presentation of divisional results has been impacted by the following changes during the period:
Accounting standards adoption - the Group adopted AASB 17 Insurance Contracts (AASB 17) on 1 October 2023. Although the overall profit
recognised in respect of insurance contracts will not change over the life of contracts, the timing of revenue recognition will change. The Group applied
AASB 17 effective from 1 October 2022 and restated prior period comparative information. This resulted in a decrease in opening retained earnings of
$37 million on 1 October 2022, a $8 million increase in profit after tax, a $22 million increase in total assets, and a $51 million increase in total liabilities
in the Australia Retail division.
Divisional results presentation - prior period divisional comparative information was restated to reflect a number of cost reallocations across the
divisions.
The reportable segments are divisions engaged in providing either different products or services or similar products and services in different geographical
areas. They are as follows:
Australia Retail
The Australia Retail division provides a full range of banking services to Australian consumers. This includes Home Loans, Deposits, Credit Cards and
Personal Loans. Products and services are provided via the branch network, home loan specialists, contact centres, a variety of self-service channels

Financial assets
Outlined below is a description of how we classify and measure financial assets as they apply to the note disclosures that follow.
Financial assets - general
There are three measurement classifications for financial assets under AASB 9 Financial Instruments (AASB 9): amortised cost, FVTPL and
FVOCI. Financial assets are classified into these measurement classifications on the basis of two criteria:
the business model within which the financial asset is managed; and
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset (specifically whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of
principal and interest).
The resultant financial asset classifications are as follows:
Amortised cost: Financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in a
business model whose objective is to collect their cash flows;
FVOCI: Financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in a business
model whose objective is to collect their cash flows or to sell the assets; and
FVTPL: Any other financial assets not falling into the categories above are measured at FVTPL.
Fair value option for financial assets
A financial asset may be irrevocably designated on initial recognition:
at FVTPL when the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise; or
at FVOCI for investments in equity securities, where that instrument is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by
an acquirer in a business combination.
8. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and other balances, as outlined below, that are convertible into cash with an insignificant risk of
changes in value and with remaining maturities of three months or less, including reverse repurchase agreements.

Hold as part of a portfolio we manage for short-term profit making.
Trading assets include commodity inventories measured at fair value less cost to sell in accordance with the broker trader exemption under
AASB 102 Inventories.
We recognise purchases and sales of trading assets on trade date:
Initially, we measure them at fair value; and
Subsequently, we measure them in the Balance Sheet at their fair value with any change in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Assets disclosed as Trading assets are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for Financial Assets outlined at the
commencement of the Group’s financial assets disclosures on page 102.
Judgement is required when applying the valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of trading assets not valued using quoted
market prices. Refer to Note 18 Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for further details.

257 (210) 340 (255)
Derivative financial instruments 57,627 (57,467) 59,989 (57,511)
Features
Derivative financial instruments are contracts:
Whose value is derived from an underlying price index (or other variable) defined in the contract - sometimes the value is derived from more than one
variable;
That require little or no initial net investment; and
That are settled at a future date.
Movements in the price of the underlying variables, which cause the value of the contract to fluctuate, are reflected in the fair value of the derivative.
Purpose
The Group’s derivative financial instruments have been categorised as follows:
Trading Derivatives held in order to:
meet customer needs for managing their own risks.
manage risks in the Group that are not in a designated hedge accounting relationship (some elements of balance
sheet management).
undertake market making and positioning activities to generate profits from short-term fluctuations in prices or margins.
Designated in Hedging
Relationships
Derivatives designated into hedge accounting relationships in order to minimise profit or loss volatility by matching
movements in underlying positions relating to:
hedges of the Group’s exposures to interest rate risk and currency risk.
hedges of other exposures relating to non-trading positions.
Types
The Group offers or uses four different types of derivative financial instruments:
Forwards A contract documenting the rate of interest, or the currency exchange rate, to be paid or received on a notional principal
amount at a future date.
Futures An exchange traded contract in which the parties agree to buy or sell an asset in the future for a price agreed on the
transaction date, with a net settlement in cash paid on the future date without physical delivery of the asset.
Swaps A contract in which two parties exchange one series of cash flows for another.
Options A contract in which the buyer of the contract has the right - but not the obligation - to buy (known as a ‘call option’) or to
sell (known as a ‘put option’) an asset or instrument at a set price on a future date. The seller has the corresponding
obligation to fulfil the transaction to sell or buy the asset or instrument if the buyer exercises the option.

10. Derivative financial instruments (continued)
Risks managed
The Group offers and uses the instruments described above to manage fluctuations in the following:
Foreign Exchange Currencies at current or determined rates of exchange.
Interest Rate Fixed or variable interest rates applying to money lent, deposited or borrowed.
Commodity Soft commodities (that is, agricultural products such as wheat, coffee, cocoa and sugar) and hard commodities (that is,
mined products such as gold, oil and gas).
Credit Risk of default by customers or third parties.
The Group uses a number of central clearing counterparties and exchanges to settle derivative transactions. Different arrangements for posting of
collateral exist with these exchanges:
some transactions are subject to clearing arrangements which result in separate recognition of collateral assets and liabilities, with the carrying values
of the associated derivative assets and liabilities held at their fair value.
other transactions, are legally settled by the payment or receipt of collateral which reduces the carrying values of the related derivative instruments by
the amount paid or received.
Derivative financial instruments – held for trading
The majority of the Group’s derivative financial instruments are held for trading. The fair value of derivative financial instruments held for trading is:
