Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Interim Financial Statements
1. About our interim financial statements
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the Banking Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Order
and should be read in conjunction with the Banking Group’s financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024.
On 7 May 2025, the Directors resolved to authorise the issue of these interim financial statements.
Basis of preparation
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comply with:
• New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP), as defined in the Financial Reporting Act 2013;
• NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate for publicly accountable for-profit
entities; and
• IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the interim financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries.
We present the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Banking Group in New Zealand dollars and have rounded values to the
nearest million dollars (NZ$m), unless otherwise stated.
The accounting policies adopted by the Banking Group are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the previous full year financial statements.
Basis of measurement and presentation
The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis - except for 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 the process of applying the Banking Group’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements and applied estimates
and assumptions about past and future events. Discussion of the critical accounting estimates and judgements, which include complex or
subjective decisions or assessments, are provided in the previous full year financial statements. Such estimates and judgements are reviewed
on an ongoing basis.
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
interim financial statements.
The Banking Group made various accounting estimates in these interim financial statements based on forecasts of economic conditions which
reflect expectations and assumptions at 31 March 2025 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 interim 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.
In light of the uncertainties above the assumptions and judgements made in relation to significant accounting estimates are discussed further
in the relevant notes in these interim financial statements and/or in the relevant notes in the previous full year financial statements. Readers
should consider these disclosures in light of the uncertainties described above.

5. Allowance for expected credit losses
(continued)
Collectively assessed allowance for ECL
The collectively assessed allowance for ECL decreased by NZ$19 million, attributable to NZ$49 million from an improvement in base case
economic assumptions, partially offset by a NZ$24 million net increase in management temporary adjustments for increased uncertainty
and economic volatility and NZ$6 million from a deterioration in credit risk profile and other portfolio changes.
In estimating collectively assessed ECL, the Banking Group makes judgements and assumptions in relation to:
•
the selection of an estimation technique or modelling methodology; and
•
the selection of inputs for those models, and the interdependencies between those inputs.
The judgements and associated assumptions have been made within the context of the uncertainty of how various factors might impact the
global economy, and reflect historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant, including expectations of future events that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Banking Group’s ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual
results may differ from these estimates.
The key judgements and assumptions in estimating collectively assessed ECL are presented below.
Base case economic forecast assumptions
Continuing uncertainties described above increase the risk of the economic forecast resulting in an understatement or overstatement of the
ECL balance.
The economic drivers of the base case economic forecasts, reflective of our view of future macroeconomic conditions used at 31 March
2025 are set out below. For the years following the near term forecasts below, the ECL models apply simplified assumptions for the economic
conditions to calculate lifetime loss.
Actual calendar year Forecast calendar year
2024 2025 2026
New Zealand
GDP (annual % change) -0.5 1.0 3.1
Unemployment rate (annual average) 4.7 5.2 4.7
Residential property prices (annual % change) -1.1 6.0 5.0
Consumer price index (annual average % change) 2.9 2.6 1.9
The base case economic forecasts have been updated to reflect economic recovery and a return to growth, and house prices are expected
to increase following a period of stabilisation.
Probability weightings
Probability weightings for each scenario are determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case
economic scenario including the uncertainties described above.
Scenario weightings remain the same as those applied in September 2024.
The assigned probability weightings are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be
significantly different to those projected. The Banking Group considers these weightings to provide estimates of the possible loss outcomes
and taking into account short and long term inter-relationships within the Banking Group’s credit portfolios. The weightings applied are set
out below:

ECL - Sensitivity analysis
Given current economic uncertainties and the judgement applied to factors used in determining the expected default of borrowers in future
periods, expected credit losses reported by the Banking Group should be considered as a best estimate within a range of possible
estimates.
The table below illustrates the sensitivity of collectively assessed ECL to key factors used in determining it as at 31 March 2025:
ECL
NZ$m
Impact

If 1% of Stage 2 facilities were included in Stage 1 774 (1)

100% base scenario 369 (406)
100% downside scenario 722 (53)
100% severe downside scenario 1,917 1,142
Individually assessed allowance for ECL
In estimating individually assessed ECL, the Banking Group makes judgements and assumptions in relation to expected repayments, the
realisable value of collateral, business prospects for the customer, competing claims and the likely cost and duration of the work-out
process. Judgements and assumptions in respect of these matters have been updated to reflect amongst other things, the uncertainties
described above and in Note 1 About our interim financial statements.

7. Debt issuances
The Banking Group uses a variety of funding programmes to issue unsubordinated debt (including senior debt and covered bonds) and subordinated
debt. The difference between unsubordinated debt and subordinated debt is that, in a winding up of the issuer, holders of unsubordinated debt rank in
priority to holders of subordinated debt. Subordinated debt will be repaid only after the repayment of claims of depositors and other creditors (including
holders of unsubordinated debt) of that issuer.

The Bank has guaranteed the payment of interest and principal of covered bonds issued by its subsidiary ANZ New Zealand (Int’l) Limited. This obligation
is guaranteed by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited (the Covered Bond Guarantor), solely in its capacity as trustee of ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust. The
ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust is a member of the Banking Group. The Covered Bond Guarantor is not a member of the Banking Group and has no credit
ratings applicable to its long term senior unsecured obligations. The covered bonds have been assigned a long term rating of Aaa and AAA by Moody’s
Investors Service and Fitch Ratings respectively. Refer to page 26 for the amount of assets of the ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust pledged as security for
covered bonds.

This note should be read in conjunction with the estimates, assumptions and judgements included in Note 1 About our interim financial statements and
Note 5 Allowance for expected credit losses.
Maximum exposure to credit risk
For financial assets recognised on the balance sheet, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount. In certain circumstances there may be
differences between the carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet and the amounts reported in the tables below. Principally, these differences
arise in respect of financial assets that are subject to risks other than credit risk, such as equity instruments which are primarily subject to market risk, or
bank notes and coins.
For undrawn facilities, this maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities. For contingent exposures, the maximum exposure
to credit risk is the maximum amount the Banking Group would have to pay if the instrument is called upon.
The table below shows our maximum exposure to credit risk of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions before taking account of any collateral
held or other credit enhancements.

9. F air value of financial assets and financial liabilities
Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities
The Banking Group recognises and measures financial instruments at either fair value or amortised cost, with a significant number of financial instruments
on the balance sheet at fair value.
Fair value is the best estimate of the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date.
The following tables set out the classification of financial assets and liabilities according to their measurement bases together with their carrying amounts
as recognised on the balance sheet.

Comparative amounts have been adjusted to reflect the classification of certain securities purchased under agreements to resell in less than 90 days included in cash and cash equivalents.
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at f air value
The fair valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities is generally determined at the individual instrument level.
If the Banking Group holds offsetting risk positions, then the portfolio exception in NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (NZ IFRS 13) is used to measure the
fair value of such groups of financial assets and financial liabilities. The Banking Group measures the portfolio based on the price that would be received to
sell a net long position (an asset) for a particular risk exposure, or to transfer a net short position (a liability) for a particular risk exposure.
Fair value designation
The Banking Group designates certain loans and advances and deposits and other borrowings as FVTPL where they are managed on a fair value basis to
align the measurement with how the financial instruments are managed.
Fair value approach and valuation techniques
We use valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities for recognition, measurement and disclosure purposes where no quoted
price in an active market exists for that asset or liability. This includes the following:
Asset or liability F
air value approach
Financial instruments classified as:
- Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities
(including trading and non-trading)
- Repurchase agreements <90 days
- Net loans and advances
- Deposits and other borrowings
- Debt issuances
Discounted cash flow (DCF) techniques are used whereby contractual future cash flows of the
instrument are discounted using wholesale market interest rates, or market borrowing rates for
debt or loans with similar maturities or yield curves appropriate for the remaining term to
maturity.
Other financial instruments held for trading:
- Securities sold short
Valuation techniques are used that incorporate observable market inputs for financial
instruments with similar credit risk, maturity and yield characteristics.
Financial instruments classified as:
- Trading securities
- Investment securities
Valuation techniques use comparable multiples (such as price-to-book ratios) or DCF
techniques incorporating, to the extent possible, observable inputs from instruments with
similar characteristics.
There were no significant changes to valuation approaches during the current or prior periods.

9. F air value of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)
Fair value hierarchy
The Banking Group categorises financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value into a fair value hierarchy as required by NZ IFRS 13 based on
the observability of inputs used to measure the fair value:
• Level 1 – valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2 – valuations using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for a similar asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly; and
• Level 3 – valuations where significant unobservable inputs are used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability.
The following table presents assets and liabilities carried at fair value in accordance with the fair value hierarchy:

During the six months ended 31 March 2025, NZ$1,013 million of assets were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 (September 2024: no assets were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2) and $128
million of assets were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 for the Banking Group (September 2024: NZ$2,390 million transferred from Level 2 to Level 1) due to a change in the observability of market
price and/or valuation inputs. There were no other material transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period. Transfers into and out of levels are measured at the beginning of the
reporting period in which the transfer occurred.
Financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value
The financial assets and financial liabilities listed below are measured at amortised cost on the Banking Group’s balance sheet. While this is the value at
which we expect the assets will be realised and the liabilities settled, the Banking Group provides an estimate of the fair value of the financial assets and
financial liabilities at balance date in the table below.
Fair values of financial asset and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost not included in the table below approximate their carrying values. These
financial assets and financial liabilities are either short term in nature or are floating rate instruments that are re-priced to market interest rates on or near
the end of the reporting period.

Perpetual preference shares
Perpetual preference shares (PPS) do not carry any voting rights. They are classified as equity instruments as there is no contractual obligation for the
Bank to either deliver cash or another financial instrument or to exchange financial instruments on a potentially unfavourable basis.
In the event of liquidation, holders of PPS are entitled to an amount equal to the issue price of the PPS. Holders of PPS rank behind the claims of all
depositors and other creditors of the Bank (other than creditors that rank equally with the PPS), equally with the rights of other holders of PPS, additional
tier 1 (AT1) capital notes and other equal ranking securities and obligations, and in priority to the rights of holders of ordinary shares.
Holders of PPS are entitled to receive dividends that are discretionary, non-cumulative and subject to conditions. If a PPS dividend is not paid, there are
certain restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay a dividend on its ordinary shares. Holders of the PPS have no other rights to participate in the profits or
property of the Bank.
Holders of PPS have no right to require that the PPS be redeemed.
The Bank has three classes of PPS: PPS issued in 2022 and 2024 that are quoted on the NZX Debt Market (Quoted PPS), and PPS issued to the
Immediate Parent Company in 2024 (2024 PPS).
PPS qualify as AT1 capital for RBNZ’s capital adequacy purposes.
The key terms of the PPS are as follows:
2022 Quoted PPS 2024 Quoted PPS 2024 PPS
Issue date 18 July 2022 19 March 2024 18 September 2024
Issue amount NZ$550 million NZ$275 million NZ$867 million

Final maturity date Perpetual Perpetual Perpetual
Dividend amount
6.95% per annum until 18 July 2028
(after which it changes to a floating
rate equal to the New Zealand 3-
month bank bill rate plus 3.25%),
multiplied by one minus the New
Zealand company tax rate (where the
PPS dividend is fully imputed).
7.60% per annum until 19 March
2030 (after which it changes to a
floating rate equal to the New Zealand
3- month bank bill rate plus 3.25%),

PPS dividend is fully imputed).
Floating rate equal to the New
Zealand 3-month bank bill rate plus
3.03%.
As at 31 March 2025, the Quoted PPS carried a BBB+ credit rating from S&P Global Ratings.
The Bank may, at its option, redeem a class of PPS on an optional redemption date (being each scheduled quarterly dividend payment date from the first
optional redemption date), or at any time following the occurrence of a tax event or regulatory event, subject to prior written approval of RBNZ and certain
other conditions being met.

Guarantees and letters of credit 1,319 1,232
Performance related contingencies 1,594 1,656
Total 31,360 28,647
The Banking Group guarantees the performance of customers by issuing standby letters of credit and guarantees to third parties, including its Ultimate
Parent Bank. The risk involved is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, therefore these transactions are
subjected to the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements for customers applying for loans. As the facilities may expire
without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.
Other contingent liabilities
There are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims for and against the Banking Group. Where relevant, expert legal advice has been
obtained and, in the light of such advice, provisions and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made. In some instances we have not disclosed
the estimated financial impact of the individual items either because it is not practicable to do so or because such disclosure may prejudice seriously the
interests of the Banking Group.
Regulatory and customer exposures
The Banking Group regularly engages with its regulators. The nature of these regulatory interactions can be wide ranging and include regulatory
investigations, surveillance and reviews, reportable situations, formal and informal inquiries and regulatory supervisory activities in New Zealand and
globally. The Banking Group also receives notices and requests for information from its regulators from time to time as part of both industry-wide and
Banking Group-specific reviews and makes disclosures to its regulators at its own instigation.
The nature of these interactions can be wide ranging and, for example, may relate to matters including responsible lending practices, regulated lending
requirements, product suitability and distribution, interest and fees and the entitlement to charge them, customer remediation, wealth advice, insurance
distribution, pricing, competition, conduct in financial markets and financial transactions, capital market transactions, anti- money laundering and counter-
terrorism financing obligations, privacy obligations and information security, business continuity management, reporting and disclosure obligations and
product disclosure documentation.
The possible exposures associated with the Bank’s regulatory interactions may include civil enforcement actions, criminal proceedings, fines and penalties,
imposition of capital or liquidity requirements, customer remediation, the requirement to conduct independent reviews, sanctions or the exercise of other
regulatory powers.
There may also be exposures to customers, investors or third parties which are additional to any regulatory exposures. These could include class actions
or claims for compensation or other remedies.
The outcomes and total costs associated with these possible regulatory, customer and other exposures remain uncertain.
Loan information litigation
The Bank is defending an opt-out representative proceeding where the plaintiffs are alleging breaches of disclosure requirements under consumer credit
legislation in respect of variation letters sent to certain loan customers. T he High Court ruled the relevant class was customers who entered into a home
loan or personal loan with the Bank between 6 June 2015 and 28 May 2016 and requested a variation to that loan during that period. In July 2024, the
Court of Appeal, among other things, confirmed the class and granted the plaintiff’s application for a common fund order with immediate effect. The Bank
applied to the Supreme Court for leave to appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision as it relates to common fund orders, but the Supreme Court declined to
hear arguments on the issue. The matter has been referred back to the High Court. The parties are in discussion regarding notification of the claim to
class members and next steps.
Warranties and indemnities
The Bank has provided warranties, indemnities and other commitments in various contracts for the disposal of businesses and assets and other
commercial transactions, covering a range of matters and risks. It is exposed to potential claims under those warranties, indemnities and commitments,
some of which are currently active. The outcomes and total costs associated with these exposures remain uncertain.

We have completed a review of the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements (interim financial statements) which
comprises:
•the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2025;
•the consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six month period then ended;
and
•notes, including a summary of material accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Based on our review of the interim financial statements of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (the Bank) and its subsidiaries (together, the Banking Group)
on pages 4 to 21, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements have not been prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34).
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by
the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities section of our
report.
We are independent of the Banking Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the audit of the annual
disclosure statement and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements.
Ou
r firm has provided other services to the Banking Group in relation to reviews of regulatory returns, internal controls reports, prospectus assurance
or reviews, agreed upon procedures engagements and other assurance engagements. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our
firm may also deal with the Banking Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Banking Group. These
matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Banking Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the Banking
Group.
Use of this review report
This review report is made solely to the shareholder of the Bank. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the shareholder of
the Bank those matters we are required to state to them in this review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do
not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the shareholder of the Bank for our review work, this review report, or any of the conclusions
we have formed.
Responsibilities of Directors
The Directors, on behalf of the Banking Group are responsible for:
•the preparation and fair presentation of the Banking Group interim financial statements in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34; and
•implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of interim financial statements that are fairly presented and free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review.
NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial
statements do not present fairly and comply with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34, in all material respects, the Banking Group’s financial position as at 31 March
2025 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months ended on that date.
A review of the interim financial statements prepared in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor
performs procedures, consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and
other review procedures.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards
on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion on the interim financial statements.
The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is Jamie Munro.

Other material matters
RBNZ capital requirements
RBNZ has revised the capital adequacy requirements applying to New Zealand locally incorporated registered banks. As a result, the Banking Group is
materially increasing the level of capital it holds over the transition period from October 2021 to July 2028. In March 2025, RBNZ announced that it intends
to conduct a reassessment of key capital settings, with any changes expected to be advised ahead of next year’s (1 July 2026) scheduled increase.
Whilst the outcomes of the future assessment are unknown, at this stage the existing key requirements for the Banking Group still being implemented are:
• The Banking Group’s total capital requirement will progressively increase to 18% of risk weighted assets (RWA), including tier 1 capital of at least 16%
of RWA. Up to 2.5% of the tier 1 capital requirement can be made up of additional tier 1 (AT1) capital, with the remainder of the tier 1 requirement
made up of common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital. AT1 capital must consist of perpetual preference shares, which may be redeemable. The total
capital requirement can also include tier 2 capital of up to 2% of RWA. Tier 2 capital must consist of long-term subordinated debt.
• The capital requirement will include a CET1 prudential capital buffer of 9% of RWA. This will include: a 2% domestic systemically important bank
capital buffer; a 1.5% 'early-set' counter-cyclical capital buffer, which can be temporarily reduced to 0% following a financial crisis, or temporarily
increased; and a 5.5% capital conservation buffer.
• Contingent capital instruments will no longer be treated as eligible regulatory capital. As at 31 March 2025, the Bank had NZ$938 million of AT1
instruments that will progressively lose eligible regulatory capital treatment over the transition period to July 2028.

Assets held in the Banking Group’s liquidity portfolio are all denominated in New Zealand dollars and include balances held with RBNZ and securities issued
by the New Zealand Government, supranational agencies, highly rated banks, state owned enterprises, local authorities (including through a funding
authority) and highly rated corporates.
The Bank also held unencumbered internal residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) which would be accepted as collateral by RBNZ in repurchase
transactions. These holdings would entitle the Bank to enter into repurchase transactions with RBNZ with a value of NZ$11,137 million at 31 March 2025
(September 2024: NZ$10,480 million).
RBNZ Term Lending Facility (TLF) and Funding for Lending Programme (FLP)

funding facility for New Zealand banks at a fixed rate of 0.25%.
• Between December 2020 and December 2022, RBNZ made funds available under the FLP to lower the cost of borrowing for New Zealand
businesses and households. The FLP is a three-year secured funding facility for New Zealand banks at a floating rate of the New Zealand Official Cash
Rate (OCR).
As at 31 March 2025, the Bank had drawn NZ$194 million (September 2024: NZ$228 million) under the TLF and NZ$2,000 million under the FLP
(September 2024: NZ$2,500 million). These amounts are included in securities sold under repurchase agreements in Note 6 Deposits and other

Explanation of how changes in the gross carrying amounts of gross loans and advances contributed to changes in loss allowance
Overall, loss allowances are 0.45% of gross balances as at 31 March 2025, down from 0.48% as at 30 September 2024. The NZ$23 million (2.7%)
decrease in loss allowances was driven by a decrease in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2 and changes in the forward-looking economic
scenarios as described in Note 5 Allowance for expected credit losses, partially offset by an increase in management temporary adjustments.

Explanation of how changes in the gross carrying amounts of residential mortgages contributed to changes in loss allowance
The NZ$12 million ( 6.3%) increase in loss allowances on residential mortgage exposures is primarily driven by an increase in the proportion of gross
balances in Stage 3 and management temporary adjustments, partially offset by changes in the forward-looking economic scenarios as described in Note
5 Allowance for expected credit losses. Overall loss allowances and individually impaired exposures remain low, reflecting that approximately 92% of on-
balance sheet residential mortgage exposures have loan to valuation ratios not exceeding 80% (refer to page 40).

Explanation of how changes in the gross carrying amounts of corporate exposures contributed to changes in loss allowance
The NZ$32 million (5.5%) decrease in loss allowances is driven by a decrease in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2 and Stage 3, and changes in

Capital structure
Ordinary shares – CET1 capital
Ordinary shares have no par value. Each fully paid ordinary share gives the holder the right to one vote on a poll at a general meeting of the Bank. Ordinary
shares are recognised at the amount paid per ordinary share net of directly attributable costs. They entitle holders to receive dividends, and surplus assets
available in a liquidation of the Bank, in proportion to the number of fully paid ordinary shares held.
Perpetual preference shares – AT1 capital
Perpetual preference shares (PPS) do not carry any voting rights. They are classified as equity instruments as there is no contractual obligation for the
Bank to either deliver cash or another financial instrument or to exchange financial instruments on a potentially unfavourable basis.
In the event of liquidation, holders of PPS are entitled to an amount equal to the issue price of the PPS. Holders of PPS rank behind the claims of all
depositors and other creditors of the Bank (other than creditors that rank equally with the PPS), equally with the rights of other holders of the PPS, AT1
capital notes and other equal ranking securities and obligations, and in priority to the rights of holders of ordinary shares.
Holders of PPS are entitled to receive dividends that are discretionary, non-cumulative and subject to conditions. If a PPS dividend is not paid, there are
certain restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay a dividend on its ordinary shares. Holders of the PPS have no other rights to participate in the profits or
property of the Bank.
Holders of PPS have no right to require that the PPS be redeemed.
The Bank has three classes of PPS: PPS issued in 2022 and 2024 that are quoted on the NZX Debt Market (Quoted PPS), and PPS issued to the
Immediate Parent Company in 2024 (2024 PPS).
PPS qualify for AT1 capital for RBNZ’s capital adequacy purposes.
The key terms of the PPS are as follows:
2022 Quoted PPS 2024 Quoted PPS 2024 PPS
Issue date 18 July 2022 19 March 2024 18 September 2024
Issue amount NZ$550 million NZ$275 million NZ$867 million
First optional redemption date 18 July 2028 19 March 2030 18 October 2030
Final maturity date Perpetual Perpetual Perpetual
Dividend amount
6.95% per annum until 18 July 2028
(after which it changes to a floating
rate equal to the New Zealand 3-
month bank bill rate plus 3.25%),
multiplied by one minus the New
Zealand company tax rate (where the
PPS dividend is fully imputed).
7.60% per annum until 19 March
2030 (after which it changes to a
floating rate equal to the New Zealand
3- month bank bill rate plus 3.25%),

PPS dividend is fully imputed).
Floating rate equal to the New
Zealand 3-month bank bill rate plus
3.03%.
As at 31 March 2025, the Quoted PPS carried a BBB+ credit rating from S&P Global Ratings.
The Bank may, at its option, redeem a class of PPS on an optional redemption date (being each scheduled quarterly dividend payment date from the first
optional redemption date), or at any time following the occurrence of a tax event or regulatory event, subject to prior written approval of RBNZ and certain
other conditions being met.

AT1 capital notes
AT1 capital notes are convertible non-cumulative perpetual subordinated debt securities. Holders of AT1 capital notes do not have any right to vote in
general meetings of the Bank. AT1 capital notes are classified as debt given there are circumstances beyond the Bank’s control where the principal is
converted into a variable number of ordinary shares of the Bank. Interest payments on AT1 capital notes are discretionary, non- cumulative and subject to
conditions.
In the event of liquidation, holders of AT1 capital notes are entitled to claim an amount equal to the issue price of the AT1 capital notes. Holders of AT1
capital notes rank behind the claims of all depositors and other creditors of the Bank (other than creditors that rank equally with the AT1 capital notes),
equally with the rights of holders of PPS, and other equal ranking securities and obligations, and in priority to the rights of holders of ordinary shares.
The Bank issued $938 million of AT1 capital notes to NZ Branch in 2016 (ANZ NZ ICN). The key terms of the ANZ NZ ICN notes are as follows:
The interest amount is based on a floating rate equal to the aggregate of the New Zealand 6 month bank bill rate plus 6.29% per annum.
ANZ NZ ICN notes provide the Bank with a redemption option on specified dates and a redemption or conversion to equity option in certain other
circumstances. Redemption is subject to RBNZ’s prior written approval. The ANZ NZ ICN notes will immediately convert into ordinary shares of the Bank if:
• the Banking Group’s common equity tier 1 capital ratio is equal to or less than 5.125% - known as a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event; or
• RBNZ directs the Bank to convert or write-off the ANZ NZ ICN notes, or a statutory manager is appointed to the Bank and decides that the Bank must
convert or write-off the ANZ NZ ICN notes.
RBNZ has revised its capital adequacy requirements for New Zealand banks. Under the revised requirements, the ANZ NZ ICN are subject to a progressive
reduction in their regulatory capital recognition and will not be recognised from 1 July 2028. However, the ANZ NZ ICN are expected to fully contribute to
the Bank’s capital adequacy requirements until at least their next optional call date.
The Bank has determined that a regulatory event has occurred in respect of the ANZ NZ ICN. The occurrence of a regulatory event means that the Bank
may choose to redeem the ANZ NZ ICN at its discretion, subject to certain conditions including prior written approval of RBNZ. As at 7 May 2025, no
decision has been made on whether the Bank will redeem the ANZ NZ ICN.
Tier 2 capital
Tier 2 capital notes are fully paid unsecured subordinated notes. Interest payments are subject to the Bank being solvent at the time of, and immediately
following, the payment. Unpaid interest accumulates, and will be paid at the earlier of when the Bank is solvent again or at maturity. The Bank may repay
the notes early (the next optional call dates are specified below), or in certain other circumstances (such as a tax or regulatory event). Early repayment is
subject to certain conditions, including approval from RBNZ.

As required by RBNZ, LVRs are calculated as the current exposure secured by a residential mortgage divided by the Banking Group's valuation of the
security property at origination of the exposure. Off-balance sheet exposures include undrawn and partially drawn residential mortgage loans as well as
commitments to lend. Commitments to lend are formal offers for housing lending which have been accepted by the customer.

financial guarantees and eligible financial collateral is not disclosed, as the effect of these guarantees and collateral on the underlying credit risk exposures
is not considered to be material.

Operational risk
As required by the Bank’s conditions of registration, the Banking Group uses the standardised approach to calculate the total operational risk capital
requirement in accordance with BPR150: Standardised Operational Risk.
As at 31 March 2025, the Banking Group had an implied risk weighted exposure of NZ$12,209 million and a total operational risk capital requirement of
NZ$977 million. The implied risk weighted exposure is equal to 12.5 x total operational risk capital requirement in accordance with BPR100: Capital
Adequacy and as prescribed by the Order.
The total capital requirement for operational risk calculated at 9% of implied risk weighted exposure is disclosed on page 37.
Capital for other material risks
The Banking Group has an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) which complies with the requirements of the Bank's Conditions of
Registration. The Banking Group's ICAAP identifies and measures all ‘other material risks’, which are those material risks that are not explicitly captured in
the calculation of the Banking Group's tier 1 and total capital ratios. The Banking Group has identified credit concentration risk as an other material risk. As
at 31 March 2025, the Banking Group's internal capital allocation for other material risks is NZ$140 million (March 2024: NZ$121 million, updated from
$416 million for revised methodology).

The Ultimate Parent Bank and the Overseas Banking Group are required to hold minimum capital as determined by APRA’s capital framework, which is at
least equal to that specified under the internationally agreed Basel III framework.
APRA has authorised the Ultimate Parent Bank and the Overseas Banking Group to use:
• the Internal Ratings Based (IRB) methodology for calculation of credit risk weighted assets. Where the Overseas Banking Group is not accredited to
use the IRB methodology the Overseas Banking Group applies the standardised approach.
• the Standardised Measurement Approach (SMA) for the operational risk weighted asset equivalent.
The Overseas Banking Group exceeded the minimum capital requirements set by APRA as at 31 March 2025 and for the comparative prior periods.
The Overseas Banking Group is required to publicly disclose Pillar 3 financial information as at 31 March 2025. The Overseas Banking Group’s Pillar 3
disclosure document for the quarter ended 31 March 2025, in accordance with APS 330: Public Disclosure of Prudential Information, discloses capital
adequacy ratios and other prudential information. This document can be accessed at the website anz.com.
Regulatory liquidity ratios
RBNZ requires banks to hold minimum amounts of liquid assets to help ensure that they are effectively managing their liquidity risk. The mismatch ratio is a
measure of a bank’s liquid assets, adjusted for expected cash inflows and outflows during a 1-month or 1-week period of stress. It is expressed as a ratio
over the bank’s total funding. The Banking Group must maintain its 1-month and 1-week mismatch ratios above zero on a daily basis.
RBNZ requires banks to get a minimum amount of funding from stable sources called core funding. The minimum amount of core funding is 75% of a
bank’s total loans. The Banking Group must maintain its core funding ratio above the regulatory minimum on a daily basis.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
To the shareholder of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited
Report on the Registered Bank Disclosures in sections B2, B3, B5 and B6 of the Disclosure Statement
Conclusion
We have completed a review of the accompanying registered bank disclosures of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (the Bank) and its subsidiaries
(together, the Banking Group) in sections B2, B3, B5 and B6 on pages 26 to 35 and 45 of the Disclosure Statement as at and for the six months
ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the information that is required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of
Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (New Zealand Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended) (the Order).
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying registered bank disclosures in sections B2,
B3, B5 and B6 of the Disclosure Statement:
•does not present fairly, in all material respects, the matters to which they relate; or
•is not disclosed, in all material respects, in accordance with those Schedules.
Basis for conclusion

Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibilities are further described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities section of our report.
We are independent of the Banking Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the audit of the annual
disclosure statement and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements.
Our firm has provided services to the Banking Group in relation to reviews of regulatory returns, internal controls reports, prospectus assurance or
reviews, agreed-upon procedures engagements and other assurance engagements. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our
firm may also deal with the Banking Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Banking Group. These
matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Banking Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the Banking
Group.

the Bank those matters we are required to state to them in this review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do
not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the shareholder of the Bank for our review work, this review report, or any of the conclusions
we have formed.
Responsibilities of Directors
The Directors, on behalf of the Banking Group are responsible for:
•the preparation and fair presentation of the Banking Group registered bank disclosures in sections B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6 of the Disclosure
Statement in accordance with Schedules 3, 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order; and

Auditor’s responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the registered bank disclosures in sections B2, B3, B5 and B6 of the Disclosure Statement, based on
our review.
NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the registered bank
disclosures in sections B2, B3, B5 and B6 of the Disclosure Statement:
•does not present fairly, in all material respects, the matters to which they relate, in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order; or

Independent Limited Assurance Report
To the shareholder of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited
Report on the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements
Conclusion
Our limited assurance conclusion has been formed on the basis of the matters outlined in this report.
Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not a reasonable assurance engagement or audit, nothing has come to our attention that
would lead us to believe that the information relating to the Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements of ANZ Bank New Zealand
Limited (the Bank) and its subsidiaries (together, the Banking Group), disclosed in section B4 on pages 36 to 44 of the Disclosure Statement, is not, in
all material respects, disclosed in accordance with Schedule 11 of the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (New Zealand Incorporated Registered
Banks) Order 2014 (as amended) (the Order).
Information subject to assurance
We have reviewed the information relating to the Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements, as disclosed in section B4 of the
Disclosure Statement as at and for the six months ended 31 March 2025.
Criteria
The information relating to the Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements comprises the information that is required to be disclosed in
accordance with Schedule 11 of the Order.
Standards we followed
We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with Standard on Assurance Engagements 3100 (Revised) Compliance
Engagements (SAE 3100 (Revised)) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Accounting Standards Board. We believe that the evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited conclusion. In accordance with the SAE 3100 (Revised), we have:
•used our professional judgement to plan and perform the engagement to obtain limited assurance that the information relating to Capita
l
Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements, is free from material misstatement and non-compliance, whether due to fraud or error;
•considered relevant internal controls when designing our assurance procedures, however we do not express a conclusion on the effectiveness of
these controls;
•ensured that the engagement team possesses the appropriate knowledge, skills and professional competencies
;
•obtained an understanding of the process, models, data and internal controls implemented over the preparation of the information relating to Capital
A
dequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements;
•performed inquiry and analytical review procedures over the Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements;
•obtained an understanding of the Bank’s compliance framework and internal control environment over the information relating to Capital Adequacy
and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements, including the Bank’s assessment of any matters of non-compliance with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s
Prudential Requirements; and
•agreed the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements, extracted from the Bank’s models, accounting records or
other supporting documentation to the Disclosure Statement.
How to interpret limited assurance and material misstatement and non-compliance
In a limited assurance engagement, the assurance practitioner performs procedures, primarily consisting of discussion and enquiries of management
and others within the entity, as appropriate, and observation and walk-throughs, and evaluates the evidence obtained. The procedures selected
depend on our judgment, including identifying areas where the risk of material misstatement and non-compliance with Schedule 11 of the Order.
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance
engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would
have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
Misstatements, including omissions, within the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements and non-compliance
are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they it could reasonably be expected to influence the relevant decisions of the intended users
taken on the basis of the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements.
Inherent limitations
Because of the inherent limitations of an assurance engagement, together with the internal control structure it is possible that fraud, error or non-
compliance with compliance requirements may occur and not be detected.
A limited assurance engagement as at and for the six months ended 31 M
arch 2025 does not provide assurance on whether compliance with
Schedule 11 of the Order will continue in the future.
Use of this assurance report
Our report is made solely for the Bank’s shareholder. Our assurance work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Bank’s shareholder
those matters we are required to state to them in the assurance report and for no other purpose.

context. Any other person who obtains access to our report or a copy thereof and chooses to rely on our report (or any part thereof) will do so at its own
