Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements
1. About our financial statements
General information
These are the consolidated financial statements for ANZBGL New Zealand for the year ended 30 September 2025. The Ultimate Parent Bank is
incorporated in Australia and is also registered in New Zealand (NZ Branch). The NZ Branch is domiciled in New Zealand, and the address of the NZ
Branch's registered office and its principal place of business is Level 10, 171 Featherston Street, Wellington, New Zealand.
On 7 November 2025, the Directors resolved to authorise the issue of these financial statements.
Information in the financial statements is included only to the extent we consider it material and relevant to the understanding of the financial statements.
A disclosure is considered material and relevant if, for example:
• the amount is significant in size (quantitative factor);
• the information is significant by nature (qualitative factor);
• the user cannot understand ANZBGL New Zealand’s results without the specific disclosure (qualitative factor);
• the information is critical to a user’s understanding of the impact of significant changes in ANZBGL New Zealand’s business during the period – for
example, business acquisitions or disposals (qualitative factor);
• the information relates to an aspect of ANZBGL New Zealand’s operations that is important to its future performance (qualitative factor); and
• the information is required under legislative or other regulatory requirements.
This section of the financial statements:
• outlines the basis upon which ANZBGL New Zealand’s financial statements have been prepared; and
• discusses any new accounting standards or regulations that directly impact the financial statements.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements are general purpose (Tier 1) financial statements prepared by a ‘for profit’ entity, in accordance with the requirements of the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. These financial statements comply with:
• New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP), as defined in the Financial Reporting Act 2013;
• New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate
for publicly accountable for-profit entities; and
• International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
We present the financial statements of ANZBGL New Zealand in New Zealand dollars, which is ANZBGL New Zealand’s functional and presentation
currency. We have rounded values to the nearest million dollars (NZ$m), unless otherwise stated.
Certain comparative amounts have been restated to conform with the basis of presentation in the current year.
Basis of measurement and presentation
The financial information has been prepared on a 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).
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of ANZBGL New Zealand comprise the financial statements of the NZ Branch and all of the New Zealand
businesses of all the subsidiaries of the Ultimate Parent Bank. An entity, including a structured entity, is considered a subsidiary of ANZBGL New Zealand
when we determine that ANZBGL New Zealand has control over the entity. Control exists when ANZBGL New Zealand is exposed to, or has rights to,
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. We assess power by
examining existing rights that give ANZBGL New Zealand the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the entity. We have eliminated, on
consolidation, the effect of all transactions between entities in ANZBGL New Zealand.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the relevant functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. At the
reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the relevant spot rate. Any
foreign currency translation gains or losses that arise are included in profit or loss in the period they arise.
We measure translation differences on non-monetary items classified as FVTPL and report them as part of the fair value gain or loss on these items. For
non-monetary items classified as investment securities measured at FVOCI, translation differences are included in other comprehensive income.

1. About our financial statements (continued)
Fiduciary activities
ANZBGL New Zealand provides fiduciary services to third parties including custody, nominee and trustee services. This involves ANZBGL New Zealand
holding assets on behalf of third parties and making decisions regarding the purchase and sale of financial instruments. If ANZBGL New Zealand is not the
beneficial owner or does not control the assets, then we do not recognise these transactions in these financial statements, except when required by
accounting standards or another legislative requirement.



In the process of applying ANZBGL New Zealand’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements and applied
estimates and assumptions about past and future events. Further information on the key judgements and estimates that we consider material
to the financial statements are contained within each relevant note to the financial statements.
The global economy continues to face challenges reflecting the impacts of global uncertainties from continuing trade and geopolitical tensions,
and impacts from climate change, which contribute to an elevated level of estimation uncertainty involved in the preparation of these financial
statements.
ANZBGL New Zealand is exposed to climate risk either directly through its operations or indirectly, for example, through lending to customers.
Climate risk may also be a driver of other risks within our risk management framework. Our most material climate risks arise from lending to
business and retail customers, which contribute to credit risk.
ANZBGL New Zealand made various accounting estimates in these financial statements based on forecasts of economic conditions which
reflect expectations and assumptions at 30 September 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 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 these financial statements,
along with assumptions and judgements made in relation to other key estimates. Readers should consider these disclosures in light of the
uncertainties described above.

Accounting standards adopted in the period
Accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise noted.
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
Amendments to New Zealand Accounting Standards – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback amends NZ IFRS 16 Leases and specifies the accounting
for variable lease payments by seller-lessees in sale and leaseback transactions. The amendment was effective from 1 October 2024 and did not have a
material impact on ANZBGL New Zealand.
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 2025 and have not been applied by ANZBGL New Zealand in preparing these financial statements. Further details of these
are set out below.
NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In May 2024, the External Reporting Board (XRB) issued NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (NZ IFRS 18) which updates and
replaces requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. NZ IFRS 18 introduces new defined subtotals to be
presented in the consolidated income statement, disclosure of management-defined performance measures and requirements for grouping of
information. This standard will be effective for the financial year beginning 1 October 2027. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this
standard.
Classification and measurement amendments to NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
In June 2024, the XRB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments which amends requirements related to settling
financial liabilities using an electronic payment system and assessing contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with environmental, social
and corporate governance and similar features. The amendments will be effective for the financial year beginning 1 October 2026. We are currently
assessing the impact of adopting this standard.
Nature dependent electricity contracts
In May 2025, the XRB issued Amendments to NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and NZ IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Contracts Referencing
Nature Dependent Electricity which enhances guidance on the application of the ‘own use’ exemption on nature dependent power purchase agreements
(PPAs) and hedge accounting requirements for PPAs that are classified as derivative financial instruments. The amendments also introduce new disclosure
requirements for certain PPAs. The amendments will be effective for the financial year beginning 1 October 2026. We are currently assessing the impact
of adopting these amendments.

2. Operating income (continued)


Net interest income


Interest income and expense

We recognise interest income and expense in net interest income for all financial instruments, including those classified as held for trading,
assets measured at FVOCI, and assets and liabilities designated at FVTPL. We use the effective interest rate method to calculate the amortised
cost of assets held at amortised cost and to recognise interest income on financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI. The effective
interest rate is the rate that discounts the stream of estimated future cash receipts or payments over the expected life of the financial instrument
or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. For assets subject to prepayment, we
determine their expected life on the basis of historical behaviour of the particular asset portfolio taking into account contractual obligations and
prepayment experience.
We recognise fees and costs, which form an integral part of the financial instrument (for example loan origination fees and costs), using the
effective interest rate method. These are presented as part of interest income or expense depending on whether the underlying financial
instrument is a financial asset or financial liability.
Other operating income
Fee and commission income
We recognise fee and commission revenue arising from contracts with customers (a) over time when the performance obligation is satisfied
across more than one reporting period, or (b) at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied immediately or is satisfied within one
reporting period.
•

lending fees exclude fees treated as part of the effective yield calculation of interest income. Lending fees include certain guarantee and
commitment fees where the loan or guarantee is not likely to be drawn upon, and other fees charged for providing customers a distinct
good or service that are recognised separately from the underlying lending product.
•

non-lending fees include fees associated with deposit and credit card accounts, interchange fees and fees charged for specific customer
transactions such as international transaction fees. Where ANZBGL New Zealand provides multiple goods or services to a customer under
the same contract, ANZBGL New Zealand allocates the transaction price of the contract to distinct performance obligations based on the
relative stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation. Revenue is recognised as each performance obligation is satisfied.
•

commissions represent fees from third parties where we act as an agent by arranging a third party (such as an insurance provider) to
provide goods and services to a customer. In such cases, we are not primarily responsible for providing the underlying good or service to
the customer. If ANZBGL New Zealand collects funds on behalf of a third party when acting as an agent, we only recognise the net
commission retained as revenue. When the commission is variable based on factors outside our control (such as a trail commission),
revenue is only recognised if it is highly probable that a significant reversal of the variable amount will not be required in future periods.
•

funds management income represents fees earned from customers for providing financial advice and asset management services.
Revenue is recognised either at the point the financial advice is provided or over the period in which the asset management services are
delivered.
Net foreign exchange earnings and other financial instruments income
We recognise the following as net foreign exchange earnings and other financial instruments income:
•

exchange rate differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and translation differences on monetary items translated at rates
different to those at which they were initially recognised;
•

fair value movements (excluding realised and accrued interest) on derivatives not designated as accounting hedges that we use to manage
interest rate and foreign exchange risk on funding instruments;
•

the ineffective portions of fair value hedges and cash flow hedges;
•

immediately upon sale or repayment of a hedged item, the unamortised fair value adjustments to items designated as fair value hedges and
amounts accumulated in equity related to designated cash flow hedges;
•

fair value movements on financial assets and financial liabilities 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.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses
Operating expenses are recognised as services are provided to ANZBGL New Zealand, over the period in which an asset is consumed, or
once a liability is created.
Salaries and related costs - annual leave, long service leave and other employee benefits
Wages and salaries, annual leave and other employee entitlements expected to be paid or settled within twelve months of employees
rendering service are measured at their nominal amounts using remuneration rates that ANZBGL New Zealand expects to pay when the
liabilities are settled.
We accrue employee entitlements relating to long service leave using an actuarial calculation. It includes assumptions regarding staff
departures, leave utilisation and future salary increases. The result is then discounted using market yields at the reporting date. The market
yields are determined from a blended rate of government bonds with terms to maturity that closely match the estimated future cash outflows.
If we expect to pay short term cash bonuses, then a liability is recognised when ANZBGL New Zealand has a present legal or constructive
obligation to pay this amount (as a result of past service provided by the employee) and the obligation can be reliably measured.

4. Income tax (continued)


Income tax expense
Income tax expense comprises both current and deferred taxes and is based on the accounting profit adjusted for differences in the
accounting and tax treatments of income and expenses (that is, taxable income). We recognise tax expense in profit or loss except when the
tax relates to items recognised directly in equity and other comprehensive income, in which case we recognise the tax directly in equity or
other comprehensive income respectively.
Current tax expense
Current tax expense is the tax we expect to pay on taxable income for the year, based on tax rates (and tax laws) which are enacted at the
reporting date. We recognise current tax as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities
We account for deferred tax using the balance sheet method. Deferred tax arises because the accounting income is not always the same as
the taxable income. This creates temporary differences, which usually reverse over time. Until they reverse, we recognise a deferred tax asset,
or liability, on the balance sheet. We measure deferred taxes at the tax rates that we expect will apply to the period(s) when the asset is
realised, or the liability settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
We offset current and deferred tax assets and liabilities only to the extent that:
• they relate to income taxes imposed by the same taxation authority;
• there is a legal right and intention to settle on a net basis; and
• it is allowed under the tax law of the relevant jurisdiction.



Judgement is required in determining provisions held in respect of uncertain tax positions. ANZBGL New Zealand estimates its tax liabilities
based on its understanding of the relevant law and seeks independent advice where appropriate.

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 NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (NZ IFRS 9): amortised cost, FVTPL and
FVOCI. Financial assets are classified into these measurement classifications on the basis of two criteria:
•

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

the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset (specifically whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of
principal and interest).
The resultant financial asset classifications are as follows:
•

Amortised cost: Financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in a
business model whose objective is to collect their cash flows;
•

FVOCI: Financial assets with contractual cash flows that comprise solely payments of principal and interest and which are held in a business
model whose objective is to collect their cash flows or to sell the assets; and
•

FVTPL: Any other financial assets not falling into the categories above are measured at FVTPL.
Fair value option for financial assets
A financial asset may be irrevocably designated on initial recognition:
•

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

at FVOCI for investments in equity securities, where that instrument is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by
an acquirer in a business combination.


7. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise coins, notes, money at call, reverse repurchase agreements of less than 90 days, balances held with central banks
and other banks, and other cash equivalents that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of changes in value.

Trading securities are financial instruments we either:

•

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

Hold as part of a portfolio we manage for short-term profit making.
We recognise purchases and sales of trading securities on trade date:
•

Initially, we measure them at fair value; and
•

Subsequently, we measure them in the Balance Sheet at their fair value with any change in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Assets disclosed as Trading securities are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for Financial Assets outlined on page
16.


Judgement is required when applying the valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of trading securities not valued using quoted
market prices. Refer to Note 16 Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for further details.

Features
Derivative financial instruments are contracts:
• whose value is derived from an underlying price index (or other variable) defined in the contract – sometimes the value is derived from more than one
variable;
• that require little or no initial net investment; and
• that are settled at a future date.
Movements in the price of the underlying variables, which cause the value of the contract to fluctuate, are reflected in the fair value of the derivative.
Purpose
ANZBGL New Zealand’s derivative financial instruments have been categorised as follows:
Trading Derivatives held in order to:
• meet customer needs for managing their own risks.
• manage risks in ANZBGL New Zealand that are not in a designated hedge accounting relationship (some elements
of balance sheet management).
• undertake market making and positioning activities to generate profits from short-term fluctuations in prices or
margins.
Designated in hedging
relationships
Derivatives designated into hedge accounting relationships in order to minimise profit or loss volatility by matching
movements in underlying positions relating to:
• hedges of ANZBGL New Zealand’s exposures to interest rate risk and currency risk.
• hedges of other exposures relating to non-trading positions.
Types
ANZBGL New Zealand offers or uses four different types of derivative financial instruments:
Forwards A contract documenting the rate of interest, or the currency exchange rate, to be paid or received on a notional
principal amount at a future date.
Futures An exchange traded contract in which the parties agree to buy or sell an asset in the future for a price agreed on the
transaction date, with a net settlement in cash paid on the future date without physical delivery of the asset.
Swaps A contract in which two parties exchange one series of cash flows for another.
Options A contract in which the buyer of the contract has the right - but not the obligation - to buy (known as a ‘call option’) or
to sell (known as a ‘put option’) an asset or instrument at a set price on a future date. The seller has the corresponding
obligation to fulfil the transaction to sell or buy the asset or instrument if the buyer exercises the option.
Risks managed
ANZBGL New Zealand offers and uses the instruments described above to manage fluctuations in the following:
Foreign exchange
Currencies at current or determined rates of exchange.
Interest rate Fixed or variable interest rates applying to money lent, deposited or borrowed.
Commodity Soft commodities (that is, agricultural products such as wheat, coffee, cocoa, and sugar) and hard commodities (that is,
mined products such as gold, oil and gas).
Credit Risk of default by customers or third parties.

9. Derivative financial instruments (continued)
ANZBGL New Zealand uses central clearing counterparties and exchanges to settle derivative transactions. Different arrangements for posting of collateral
exist with these exchanges:
• some transactions are subject to clearing arrangements which result in separate recognition of collateral assets and liabilities, with the carrying values
of the associated derivative assets and liabilities held at their fair value.
• other transactions are legally settled by the payment or receipt of collateral which reduces the carrying values of the related derivative instruments by
the amount paid or received.
Derivative financial instruments – held for trading
The majority of ANZBGL New Zealand’s derivative financial instruments are held for trading. The fair value of derivative financial instruments held for trading

Derivative financial instruments – designated in hedging relationships
Under the accounting policy choice provided by NZ IFRS 9, ANZBGL New Zealand has continued to apply the hedge accounting requirements of NZ IAS
39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (NZ IAS 39).
ANZBGL New Zealand uses two types of hedge accounting relationships:
Fair value hedge Cash flow hedge
Objective of this hedging
arrangement
To hedge our exposure to changes to the fair value of a
recognised asset or liability or unrecognised firm
commitment caused by interest rate or foreign currency
movements.
To hedge our exposure to variability in cash flows of a
recognised asset or liability, a firm commitment or a highly
probable forecast transaction caused by interest rate,
foreign currency and other price movements.
Recognition of effective
hedge portion
The following are recognised in profit or loss at the same
time:
• all changes in the fair value of the underlying item
relating to the hedged risk; and
• the change in the fair value of the derivatives.
We recognise the effective portion of changes in the fair
value of derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge in
the cash flow hedge reserve.
Recognition of ineffective
hedge portion
Recognised immediately in Other operating income.
If a hedging instrument
expires, or is sold,
terminated, or exercised;
or no longer qualifies for
hedge accounting
When we recognise the hedged item in profit or loss, we
recognise the related unamortised fair value adjustment in
profit or loss. This may occur over time if the hedged item
is amortised to profit or loss as part of the effective yield
over the period to maturity.
Only when we recognise the hedged item in profit or loss
is the amount previously deferred in the cash flow hedge
reserve transferred to profit or loss.
Hedged item sold or repaid We recognise the unamortised fair value adjustment
immediately in profit or loss.
Amounts accumulated in equity are transferred
immediately to profit or loss.

9. Derivative financial instruments (continued)


Recognition

Initially and at each reporting date, we recognise all derivatives at fair value. If the fair value of a derivative is
positive, then we carry it as an asset, but if its value is negative, then we carry it as a liability.
Valuation adjustments are integral in determining the fair value of derivatives. This includes:
•

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

a funding valuation adjustment to account for funding costs and benefits in the derivatives portfolio.
Derecognition of
assets and liabilities

We remove derivative assets from our Balance Sheet when the contracts expire or we have transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. We remove derivative liabilities from our Balance Sheet
when ANZBGL New Zealand’s contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.
With respect to derivatives cleared through a central clearing counterparty or exchange, derivative assets or
liabilities may be derecognised in accordance with the principle above when collateral is settled, depending
on the legal arrangements in place for each instrument.
Impact on the
Income Statement
The recognition of gains or losses on derivative financial instruments depends on whether the derivative is
held for trading or is designated in a hedge accounting relationship. For derivative financial instruments held
for trading, gains or losses from changes in the fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
For an instrument designated in a hedge accounting relationship, the recognition of gains or losses depends
on the nature of the item being hedged. Refer to the table on page 19 for details of the recognition
approach applied for each type of hedge accounting relationship.
Sources of hedge accounting ineffectiveness may arise from differences in the interest rate reference rate,
margins, or rate set differences and differences in discounting between the hedged items and the hedging
instruments.
Hedge effectiveness





To qualify for hedge accounting under NZ IAS 39, a hedge relationship is expected to be highly effective. A
hedge relationship is highly effective only if the following conditions are met:

the hedge is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows
attributable to the hedged risk during the period for which the hedge is designated (prospective

Investment securities are those financial assets in security form (that is, transferable debt or equity instruments) that are not held for trading
purposes. By way of exception, bills of exchange (a form of security/transferable instrument) which are used to facilitate ANZBGL New
Zealand’s customer lending activities are classified as Loans and advances (rather than Investment securities) to better reflect the substance
of the arrangement.
Equity investments not held for trading purposes may be designated at FVOCI on an instrument-by-instrument basis. If this election is made,
gains or losses are not reclassified from Other comprehensive income to profit or loss on disposal of the investment. However, gains or losses
may be reclassified within equity.
Assets disclosed as Investment securities are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for financial assets outlined on
page 16. Additionally, expected credit losses associated with Investment securities - debt securities at FVOCI are recognised and measured in
accordance with the accounting policy outlined in Note 12 Allowance for expected credit losses, and the allowance for expected c redit l oss is
recognised in the FVOCI reserve in equity with a corresponding charge to profit or loss.


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

Loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are
facilities ANZBGL New Zealand provides directly to customers or through third party channels.
Loans and advances are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the loan or advance, which
are primarily brokerage and other origination costs which we amortise over the estimated life of the loan. Subsequently, we then measure
loans and advances at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, net of any allowance for expected credit losses, or at fair value
when they are specifically designated on initial recognition as FVTPL, are classified as held for sale or when held for trading. Refer to Note 16
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for further details.
ANZBGL New Zealand enters into transactions in which it transfers financial assets that are recognised on its Balance Sheet. When ANZBGL
New Zealand retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets remain on ANZBGL New
Zealand’s Balance Sheet, however if substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred, ANZBGL New Zealand derecognises the asset. If the
risks and rewards are partially retained and control over the asset is lost, ANZBGL New Zealand derecognises the asset. If control over the
asset is not lost, ANZBGL New Zealand continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement.
We separately recognise the rights and obligations retained, or created, in the transfer of assets as appropriate.
Assets disclosed as Net loans and advances are subject to the general classification and measurement policy for financial assets outlined on
page 16. Additionally, expected credit losses associated with loans and advances at amortised cost are recognised and measured in
accordance with the accounting policy outlined in Note 12 Allowance for expected credit losses.

12. Allowance for expected credit losses

(continued)

Expected credit loss model
The measurement of expected credit losses reflects an unbiased, probability weighted prediction which evaluates a range of scenarios and
takes into account the time value of money, past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
Expected credit losses are either measured over 12 months or the expected lifetime of the financial asset, depending on credit deterioration
since origination, according to the following three-stage approach:
•

Stage 1: At the origination of a financial asset, and where there has not been a Significant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) since origination, an
allowance for ECL is recognised reflecting the expected credit losses resulting from default events that are possible within the next 12
months from the reporting date. For instruments with a remaining maturity of less than 12 months, expected credit losses are estimated
based on default events that are possible over the remaining time to maturity.
•

Stage 2: Where there has been a SICR since origination, an allowance for ECL is recognised reflecting expected credit losses resulting from
all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. If credit risk were to improve in a subsequent period such that the
increase in credit risk since origination is no longer considered significant, the exposure returns to a Stage 1 classification with ECL
measured accordingly.
•

Stage 3: Where there is objective evidence of impairment, an allowance equivalent to lifetime ECL is recognised.
Expected credit losses are estimated on a collective basis for exposures in Stage 1 and Stage 2, and on either a collective or individual basis
when transferred to Stage 3.
Measurement of expected credit loss
ECL is calculated as the product of the following credit risk factors at a facility level, discounted to incorporate the time value of money:
•

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

Exposure at default (EAD) - the expected balance sheet exposure at default taking into account repayments of principal and interest,
expected additional drawdowns and accrued interest; and
•

Loss given default (LGD) - the expected loss in the event of the borrower defaulting, expressed as a percentage of the facility's EAD, taking
into account direct and indirect recovery costs.
These credit risk factors are adjusted for current and forward-looking information through the use of macroeconomic variables.
Expected life
When estimating ECL for exposures in Stage 2 and 3, ANZBGL New Zealand considers the expected lifetime over which it is exposed to credit
risk.
For non-retail portfolios, ANZBGL New Zealand uses the maximum contractual period as the expected lifetime for non-revolving credit facilities.
For non-retail revolving credit facilities, such as corporate lines of credit, the expected life reflects ANZBGL New Zealand’s contractual right to
withdraw a facility as part of a contractually agreed annual review, after taking into account the applicable notice period.
For retail portfolios, the expected lifetime is determined using a behavioural term, taking into account expected prepayment behaviour and
events that give rise to substantial modifications.
Definition of default, credit impaired and write-offs
The definition of default used in measuring ECL is aligned to the definition used for internal credit risk management purposes across all
portfolios. This definition is also in line with the regulatory definition of default. Default occurs when there are indicators that a debtor is unlikely
to fully satisfy contractual credit obligations to ANZBGL New Zealand, or the exposure is 90 days past due.
Financial assets, including those that are well secured, are considered credit impaired for financial reporting purposes when they default.
When there is no realistic probability of recovery, loans are written off against the related impairment allowance on completion of ANZBGL New
Zealand’s internal processes and when all reasonably expected recoveries have been collected. In subsequent periods, any recoveries of
amounts previously written-off are recorded as a release to the credit impairment charge in the Income Statement.
Modified financial assets
If the contractual terms of a financial asset are modified or an existing financial asset is replaced with a new one for either credit or commercial
reasons, an assessment is made to determine if the changes to the terms of the existing financial asset are considered substantial. This
assessment considers both changes in cash flows arising from the modified terms as well as changes in the overall instrument risk profile; for
example, changes in the principal (credit limit), term, or type of underlying collateral. Where a modification is considered non-substantial, the
existing financial asset is not derecognised and its date of origination continues to be used to determine SICR. Where a modification is
considered substantial, the existing financial asset is derecognised and a new financial asset is recognised at its fair value on the modification
date, which also becomes the date of origination used to determine SICR for this new asset.

Significant increase in credit risk
Stage 2 assets are those that have experienced a SICR since origination. In determining what constitutes a SICR, ANZBGL New Zealand
considers both qualitative and quantitative information:
i. Internal credit rating grade
For the majority of portfolios, the primary indicator of a SICR is a significant deterioration in the internal credit rating grade of a facility since
origination and is measured by the application of thresholds.
For non-retail portfolios, a SICR is determined by comparing the Customer Credit Rating (CCR) applicable to a facility at reporting date to
the CCR at origination of that facility. A CCR is assigned to each borrower which reflects the PD of the borrower and incorporates both
borrower and non-borrower specific information, including forward-looking information. CCRs are subject to review at least annually or
more frequently when an event occurs which could affect the credit risk of the customer.
For retail portfolios, a SICR is determined, depending on the type of facility, by either comparing the scenario weighted lifetime PD at the
reporting date to that at origination, or by reference to customer behavioural score thresholds. The scenario weighted lifetime probability of
default may increase significantly if:
•

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

there has been a deterioration in the customer’s overall credit position, or ability to manage their credit obligations.
ii. Backstop criteria
ANZBGL New Zealand uses 30 days past due arrears as a backstop criterion for both non-retail and retail portfolios. For retail portfolios
only, facilities are required to demonstrate three to six months of good payment behaviour prior to being allocated back to Stage 1.
Forward-looking information
Forward-looking information is incorporated into both our assessment of whether a financial asset has experienced a SICR since origination
and in our estimate of ECL. In applying forward-looking information for estimating ECL, ANZBGL New Zealand considers four probability-
weighted forecast economic scenarios as follows:
i. Base case scenario
The base case scenario is ANZBGL New Zealand’s view of future macroeconomic conditions. It reflects the same basis of assumptions
used by management for strategic planning and budgeting, and also informs the Banking Group’s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment
Process which is the process ANZBGL New Zealand applies in strategic and capital planning over a 3-year time horizon;
ii. Upside scenario
The upside scenario is fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions (not economic conditions prevailing at balance date) and
is based on a combination of more optimistic economic events and uncertainty over long term horizons; and
iii. Downside and iv. Severe downside scenarios
The downside and severe scenarios assume an economic downturn, both domestically and globally. Forecast macroeconomic variables
for such scenarios are developed internally, reflecting plausible scenarios unfolding over a 5-year period given current economic
conditions. These assumptions have been revised in 2025, reflecting a sharp rise in inflation, declining asset prices, and increases to
unemployment. The impacts to underlying macroeconomic variables are deeper in the case of the severe scenario.
The four scenarios are described in terms of macroeconomic variables used in the PD, LGD and EAD models (collectively the ECL models)
depending on the lending portfolio and country of the borrower. Examples of the macroeconomic variables include unemployment rates,
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rates, residential property price indices, commercial property price indices and consumer price indices.
Probability weighting of each scenario is determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case
economic scenario, as well as specific portfolio considerations where required.
Where applicable, temporary adjustments may be made to account for situations where known or expected risks have not been adequately
addressed in the modelling process.

Collectively assessed allowance for expected credit losses
In estimating collectively assessed ECL, ANZBGL New Zealand makes judgements and assumptions in relation to:
•

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

the selection of inputs for those models, and the interdependencies between those inputs.
The following table summarises the key judgements and assumptions in relation to the model inputs and the interdependencies between
those inputs, and highlights significant changes during the current period.
The judgements and associated assumptions have been made within the context of the uncertainty as to how various factors might impact
the global economy and reflect historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant, including expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. ANZBGL New Zealand’s ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a
result, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Judgement/Assumption Description Considerations for the year ended 30 September 2025
Determining when a SICR
has occurred or reversed

In the measurement of ECL, judgement is involved
in determining whether there has been a SICR
since initial recognition of a loan, which would
result in it moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2. This is
a key area of judgement since transition from
Stage 1 to Stage 2 increases the ECL from an
allowance based on the PD in the next 12
months, to an allowance for lifetime ECL.
Subsequent decreases in credit risk resulting in
transition from Stage 2 to Stage 1 may similarly
result in significant changes in the ECL allowance.
The setting of precise SICR trigger points requires
judgement which may have a material impact
upon the size of the ECL allowance. ANZBGL New
Zealand monitors the effectiveness of SICR
criteria on an ongoing basis.
The determination of SICR was consistent with prior
period.

Measuring both 12-
month and lifetime
expected credit losses
The PD, LGD and EAD factors used in determining
ECL are point-in-time measures reflecting the
relevant forward-looking information determined
by management. Judgement is involved in
determining which forward-looking information is
relevant for particular lending portfolios and for
determining each portfolio’s point-in-time
sensitivity.
In addition, judgement is required where
behavioural characteristics are applied in
estimating the lifetime of a facility which is used in
measuring ECL.
The PD, LGD and EAD models are subject to ANZBGL New
Zealand’s model risk policy that stipulates periodic model
monitoring and re-validation, and defines approval
procedures and authorities according to model materiality.
There were no material changes to the policy.
Base case economic
forecast
ANZBGL New Zealand derives a forward-looking
‘base case’ economic scenario which reflects our
view of future macroeconomic conditions.
There have been no changes to the types of forward-
looking variables (key economic drivers) used as model
inputs.
The base case assumptions have been updated to reflect
a stabilisation in inflation. Near-term growth forecasts have
been reduced, reflecting the impacts of global uncertainty.
Weaker GDP growth momentum pushes the return to
average out to 2027. Further interest rate cuts are
expected to contribute to a recovery in consumer
spending. The level of unemployment is elevated but
projected to fall.
The expected outcomes of key economic drivers for the
base case scenario at 30 September 2025 are described
in the section on page 29 under the heading ‘Base case
economic forecast assumptions’.

Judgement/Assumption Description Considerations for the year ended 30 September 2025
Probability weighting of
each economic scenario
(base case, upside,
downside and severe
downside scenarios)

Probability weighting of each economic scenario
is determined by management considering the
risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case
economic scenario at each measurement date.
The assigned probability weightings are subject
to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and
therefore the actual outcomes may be
significantly different to those projected.
Probability weightings remain unchanged from the prior
period, reflecting our assessment of the continuing
downside risks in local and global economies, and
uncertainties related to foreign policies.

The probability weightings for current and prior periods are
as detailed in the section on page 30 under the heading
‘Probability weightings’.
Management temporary
adjustments
Management temporary adjustments to the ECL
allowance are used in circumstances where it is
judged that our existing inputs, assumptions and
model techniques do not capture all the risk
factors relevant to our lending portfolios.
Emerging local or global macroeconomic,
microeconomic or political events, and natural
disasters that are not incorporated into our
current parameters, risk ratings, or forward-
looking information are examples of such
circumstances.
Management have continued to apply adjustments to
accommodate risks associated with higher inflation and
interest rates experienced over the last few years.
Management overlays have been made for risks particular
to mortgages and commercial lending. The total amount
of adjustments has decreased from the prior period as
anticipated risks are now represented in the portfolio
credit profiles.
Management temporary adjustments total NZ$52 million
(2024: NZ$73 million).
Management has considered and concluded no
temporary adjustment is required at 30 September 2025
to the ECL in relation to climate or weather related events
during the period.
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 ANZBGL New Zealand’s view of future macroeconomic conditions
used at 30 September 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.

Probability weightings
Probability weightings for each scenario are determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case
economic scenario including the uncertainties described above.
The assigned probability weightings are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be
significantly different to those projected. ANZBGL New Zealand considers these weightings to provide estimates of the possible loss
outcomes, taking into account short and long term inter-relationships within ANZBGL New Zealand’s credit portfolios. The weightings applied
are set out below:
2025 2024
Base 50.00% 50.00%
Upside 3.75% 3.75%
Downside 33.75% 33.75%
Severe downside 12.50% 12.50%
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 ANZBGL New Zealand 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 30 September 2025:

Individually assessed allowance for expected credit losses
In estimating individually assessed ECL, ANZBGL New Zealand 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 financial statements.

Financial liabilities
Outlined below is a description of how we classify and measure financial liabilities relevant to the note disclosures that follow.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, or FVTPL when they are held for trading. Additionally, financial liabilities can be designated at
FVTPL where:
• the designation eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch which would otherwise arise;
• a group of financial liabilities are managed and their performance are evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk
management strategy; or
• the financial liability contains one or more embedded derivatives unless:
a) the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract; or
b) the embedded derivative is closely related to the host financial liability.
Where financial liabilities are designated as measured at fair value, gains or losses relating to changes in the entity’s own credit risk are
included in Other comprehensive income, except where doing so would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.

For deposits and other borrowings that:
• are not designated at FVTPL on initial recognition, we measure them at amortised cost and recognise their interest expense using the
effective interest rate method; and
• are managed on a fair value basis, reduce or eliminate an accounting mismatch or contain an embedded derivative, we designate them as
measured at FVTPL.
Refer to Note 16 Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities for further details.
For deposits and other borrowings designated at fair value we recognise the amount of fair value gain or loss attributable to changes in
ANZBGL New Zealand’s own credit risk in Other comprehensive income in retained earnings. Any remaining amount of fair value gain or loss
we recognise directly in profit or loss. Once we have recognised an amount in other comprehensive income, we do not later reclassify it to
profit or loss.
Securities sold under repurchase agreements represent a liability to repurchase the financial assets that remain on our balance sheet since the
risks and rewards of ownership remain with ANZBGL New Zealand. Over the life of the repurchase agreement, we recognise the difference
between the sale price and the repurchase price and charge it to interest expense in profit or loss.

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

The Bank has guaranteed the payment of interest and principal of covered bonds issued by its subsidiary ANZ New Zealand (Int’l) Limited. This obligation
is guaranteed by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited (the Covered Bond Guarantor), solely in its capacity as trustee of ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust (the
Covered Bond Trust). The Covered Bond Trust is a member of ANZBGL New Zealand. The Covered Bond Guarantor is not a member of ANZBGL New
Zealand and has no credit ratings applicable to its long term senior unsecured obligations. The covered bonds have been assigned a long term rating of
Aaa and AAA by Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings respectively. Refer to page 61 for the carrying amount of assets transferred to the ANZ
Covered Bond Trust pledged as security for covered bonds.

Carrying amounts are net of issuance costs and, where applicable, include fair value hedge accounting adjustments.


Debt issuances are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, except where designated at FVTPL.
Interest expense on debt issuances is recognised using the effective interest rate method. Where ANZBGL New Zealand enters into a fair value
hedge accounting relationship, the fair value attributable to the hedged risk is reflected in adjustments to the carrying value of the debt.

Subordinated debt with capital-based conversion features (i.e. Common Equity Capital Trigger Events or Non-Viability Trigger Events) are
considered to contain embedded derivatives that we account for separately at FVTPL. The embedded derivatives arise because the number
of shares issued on conversion following any of those trigger events is subject to the maximum conversion number, however they have no
significant value as of the reporting date given the remote nature of those trigger events
.

15. Financial risk management
Risk management framework and model
Introduction
The use of financial instruments is fundamental to ANZBGL New Zealand’s business of providing banking and other financial services to our customers.
The associated financial risks (primarily credit, market, and liquidity risks) are a significant portion of ANZBGL New Zealand’s material risks.
This note details ANZBGL New Zealand’s financial risk management policies, processes and quantitative disclosures in relation to the material financial
risks:
Material financial risks Key sections applicable to this risk
Credit risk
The risk of financial loss resulting from:
• a counterparty failing to fulfil its obligations; or
• a decrease in credit quality of a counterparty resulting in a financial loss.
Credit risk incorporates the risks associated with us lending to customers who
could be impacted by climate change, changes to laws, regulations, or other
policies adopted by governments or regulatory authorities. Climate change
impacts include both physical risks (climate- or weather-related events) and
transition risks resulting from the adjustment to a low emissions economy.
Transition risks include resultant changes to laws, regulations and policies
noted above.

• Credit risk overview, management and control responsibilities
• Maximum exposure to credit risk
• Credit quality
• Concentrations of credit risk
• Collateral management
Market risk
The risk to ANZBGL New Zealand’s earnings arising from:
• changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, volatility
and correlations; or
• fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices.

• Market risk overview, management and control responsibilities
• Measurement of market risk
• Traded and non-traded market risk
• Foreign currency risk – structural exposure

Liquidity and funding risk
The risk that ANZBGL New Zealand is unable to meet its payment obligations
as they fall due, including:
• repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt; or
• ANZBGL New Zealand having insufficient capacity to fund increases in
assets.

• Liquidity risk overview, management and control responsibilities
• Key areas of measurement for liquidity risk
• Liquidity portfolio management
• Funding position

Overview
An overview of our risk management framework
This overview is provided to aid the users of the financial statements in understanding the context of the financial disclosures required under NZ IFRS 7
Financial Instruments: Disclosures.
The Board is responsible for establishing and overseeing ANZBGL New Zealand’s Risk Management Framework (RMF). The Board has delegated authority
to the Bank’s Board Risk Committee (BRC) to develop and monitor compliance with ANZBGL New Zealand’s risk management policies. The BRC reports
regularly to the Board on its activities.
The Board approves the strategic objectives of ANZBGL New Zealand including:
• the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), which sets out the Board’s expectations regarding the degree of risk that ANZBGL New Zealand is prepared to
accept in pursuit of its strategic objectives and business plan; and
• the Risk Management Strategy (RMS), which describes ANZBGL New Zealand’s strategy for managing risks and the key elements of the RMF that give
effect to this strategy. This includes a description of each material risk, and an overview of how the RMF addresses each risk, with reference to the
relevant policies, standards and procedures. It also includes information on how ANZBGL New Zealand identifies, measures, evaluates, monitors,
reports and controls or mitigates material risks.
ANZBGL New Zealand, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and robust control environment in
which all employees understand their roles and obligations. At ANZBGL New Zealand, risk is everyone’s responsibility.
ANZBGL New Zealand has an independent risk management function, headed by the Chief Risk Officer who:
• is responsible for overseeing the risk profile and the risk management framework;
• can effectively challenge activities and decisions that materially affect ANZBGL New Zealand’s risk profile; and
• has an independent reporting line to the BRC to enable the appropriate escalation of issues of concern.
Internal Audit Function
Internal Audit is a function independent of management whose role is to provide the Board and management with an effective and independent appraisal
of the internal controls established by management. Operating under a Board approved Charter, the reporting line for the outcomes of work conducted by
Internal Audit is direct to the Chair of the Audit Committee, with a direct communication line to the Chief Executive Officer and the external auditor. The
Internal Audit Plan is developed using a risk based approach and is reviewed quarterly. The Audit Committee approves the plan.
All audit activities are conducted in accordance with international internal auditing standards, and the results of the activities are reported to the Audit
Committee and management. These results influence the performance assessment of business heads. Furthermore, Internal Audit monitors the
remediation of audit issues and reports the current status of any outstanding audits.

Credit risk
Credit risk overview, management and control responsibilities
Granting credit facilities to customers is one of ANZBGL New Zealand’s major sources of income. As this activity is also a principal risk, ANZBGL New
Zealand dedicates considerable resources to its management. ANZBGL New Zealand assumes credit risk in a wide range of lending and other activities in
diverse markets and in many jurisdictions. Credit risks arise from traditional lending to customers as well as from interbank, treasury, trade finance and
capital markets activities.
Our credit risk management framework ensures we apply a consistent approach across ANZBGL New Zealand when we measure, monitor and manage
the credit risk appetite set by the Board. The Board is assisted and advised by the BRC in discharging its duty to oversee credit risk. The BRC:
•

approves the credit risk appetite and credit strategies; and
•

approves policies and control frameworks for the management of ANZBGL New Zealand’s credit risk.
The BRC delegates responsibility for day-to-day management of credit risk and compliance with credit risk policies to the Bank’s Credit Risk Management
Committee (CRMC).
We quantify credit risk through an internal credit rating system (Master Scale) to ensure consistency across exposure types and to provide a consistent
framework for reporting and analysis. The system uses models and other tools to measure the following for customer exposures:
Probability of Default (PD) Expressed by a Customer Credit Rating (CCR), reflecting ANZBGL New Zealand’s assessment of a
customer’s ability to service and repay debt.
Exposure at Default (EAD) The expected balance sheet exposure at default taking into account repayments of principal and interest,
expected additional drawdowns and accrued interest at the time of default.
Loss Given Default (LGD) Expressed by a Security Indicator (SI) ranging from A to G. The SI is calculated by reference to the
percentage of loan covered by security which ANZBGL New Zealand can realise if a customer defaults.
The A-G scale is supplemented by a range of other SIs which cover such factors as cash cover and
sovereign backing. For retail and some small business lending, we group exposures into large
homogeneous pools, and the LGD is assigned at the pool level.
Our specialist credit risk teams develop and validate ANZBGL New Zealand’s PD and LGD rating models. The outputs from these models drive our day-to-
day credit risk management decisions including origination, pricing, approval levels, regulatory capital adequacy, internal capital allocation, and credit
provisioning.
All customers with whom ANZBGL New Zealand has a credit relationship are assigned a CCR at origination via either of the following assessment
approaches:
Large and more complex lending Retail and some small business lending
Rating models provide a consistent and structured assessment, with
judgement required around the use of out-of-model factors. We
handle credit approval on a dual approval basis, jointly with the
business writer and an independent credit officer.
Automated assessment of credit applications using a combination of
scoring (application and behavioural), policy rules and external credit
reporting information. If the application does not meet the automated
assessment criteria, then it is subject to manual assessment.
We use ANZBGL New Zealand’s internal CCR to manage the credit quality of financial assets. To enable wider comparisons, ANZBGL New Zealand’s CCRs
are mapped to external rating agency scales as follows:

Maximum exposure to credit risk
For financial assets recognised on the balance sheet, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount. In certain circumstances there may be
differences between the carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet and the amounts reported in the tables below. Principally, these differences
arise in respect of financial assets that are subject to risks other than credit risk, such as equity instruments which are primarily subject to market risk, or
bank notes and coins.
For undrawn facilities, this maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities. For contingent exposures, the maximum exposure
to credit risk is the maximum amount ANZBGL New Zealand would have to pay if the instrument is called upon.
The table below shows our maximum exposure to credit risk of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions before taking account of any collateral
held or other credit enhancements.

Concentrations of credit risk
Credit risk becomes concentrated when a number of customers are engaged in similar activities, have similar economic characteristics, or have similar
activities within the same geographic region – therefore, they may be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. ANZBGL New
Zealand monitors its credit portfolio to manage risk concentration and rebalance the portfolio. ANZBGL New Zealand also applies single customer
counterparty limits to protect against unacceptably large exposures to one single customer.
Analysis of financial assets by industry sector is based on Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) codes. The significant
categories shown are the level one New Zealand Standard Industry Output Categories (NZSIOC), except that Agriculture is shown separately.

Credit risk (continued)
Collateral management
We use collateral for on and off-balance sheet exposures to mitigate credit risk if a counterparty cannot meet its repayment obligations. Where there is
sufficient collateral, an expected credit loss is not recognised. This is largely the case for certain lending products, such as margin loans and reverse
repurchase agreements that are secured by the securities purchased using the lending. For some products, the collateral provided by customers is
fundamental to the product’s structuring, so it is not strictly the secondary source of repayment - for example, lending secured by trade receivables is
typically repaid by the collection of those receivables. During the period there was no change in our collateral policies.
The nature of collateral or security held for the relevant classes of financial assets is as follows:
Net loans and advances
Loans – housing and personal Housing loans are secured by mortgage(s) over property and additional security may take the form of
guarantees and deposits.
Personal lending (including credit cards and overdrafts) is predominantly unsecured. If we take security,
then it is restricted to eligible vehicles, motor homes and other assets.
Loans – business Business loans may be secured, partially secured or unsecured. Typically, we take security by way of a
mortgage over property and/or a charge over the business or other assets.
If appropriate, we may take other security to mitigate the credit risk, such as guarantees, standby letters
of credit or derivative protection.
Other financial assets

Trading securities, investment
securities, derivatives and other
financial assets
For trading securities, we do not seek collateral directly from the issuer or counterparty. However, the
collateral may be implicit in the terms of the instrument (for example, with an asset-backed security). The
terms of debt securities may include collateralisation.
For derivatives we will have large individual exposures to single name counterparties such as central
clearing houses, financial institutions, and other institutional clients. Open derivative positions with these
counterparties are aggregated and cash collateral (or other forms of eligible collateral) is exchanged daily
through the respective Credit Support Annex (CSA) agreements. The collateral is provided by the
counterparty when their position is out of the money (or provided to the counterparty by ANZBGL New
Zealand when our position is out of the money). Credit risk will remain where the full amount of the
derivative exposure is not covered by any collateral.
Off-balance sheet positions

Undrawn and contingent facilities Collateral for off-balance sheet positions is mainly held against undrawn facilities, and they are typically
performance bonds or guarantees. Undrawn facilities that are secured include housing loans secured by
mortgages over residential property and business lending secured by commercial real estate and/or
charges over business assets.
The table below shows the estimated value of collateral we hold and the net unsecured portion of credit exposures:

Market risk
Market risk overview, management and control responsibilities
Market risk stems from ANZBGL New Zealand’s trading and balance sheet management activities and the impact of changes and correlations between
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, commodities, equities and the volatility within these asset classes.
The BRC delegates responsibility for day-to-day management of both market risk and compliance with market risk policies to the Bank’s Asset & Liability
Management Committee (ALCO).
Within overall strategies and policies established by the BRC, business units and risk management have joint responsibility for the control of market risk at
the ANZBGL New Zealand level. The Market & Treasury Risk team (a specialist risk management unit independent of the business) allocates market risk
limits at various levels and monitors and reports on them daily. This detailed framework allocates individual limits to manage and control exposures using
risk factors and profit and loss limits.
Management, measurement and reporting of market risk is undertaken in two broad categories:
Traded market risk Non-traded market risk
Risk of loss from changes in the value of financial instruments due to
movements in price factors for both physical and derivative trading
positions. Principal risk categories monitored are:
•

Currency risk – potential loss arising from changes in foreign
exchange rates or their implied volatilities.
•

Interest rate risk – potential loss from changes in market interest
rates or their implied volatilities.
•

Credit spread risk – potential loss arising from a movement in
margin or spread relative to a benchmark.
•

Commodity risk – potential loss arising from changes in
commodity prices or their implied volatilities.
•

Equity risk – potential loss arising from changes in equity prices.
Risk of loss associated with the management of non-traded interest rate risk,
liquidity risk and foreign exchange exposures. This includes interest rate risk in
the banking book. This risk of loss arises from adverse changes in the overall
and relative level of interest rates for different tenors, differences in the actual
versus expected net interest margin, and the potential valuation risk associated
with embedded options in financial instruments and bank products.
Measurement of market risk
We primarily manage and control market risk using Value at Risk (VaR), sensitivity analysis and stress testing.
VaR measures ANZBGL New Zealand’s possible daily loss based on historical market movements.
ANZBGL New Zealand’s VaR approach for both traded and non-traded risk is historical simulation. We use historical changes in market rates, prices and
volatilities over:
•

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

a 1-year stressed period, to calculate stressed VaR.
We calculate traded and non-traded VaR using a one-day holding period. For stressed VaR we use a ten-day period. Back testing is used to ensure our
VaR models remain accurate.
ANZBGL New Zealand measures VaR at a 99% confidence interval which means there is a 99% chance that a loss will not exceed the VaR for the
relevant holding period.

The diversification benefit reflects risks that offset across categories. The high and low VaR figures reported for each factor did not necessarily occur on the same day as the high and low VaR reported
for ANZBGL New Zealand as a whole. Consequently, a diversification benefit for high and low would not be meaningful and is therefore omitted from the table.

Non-traded market risk
Balance sheet risk management
The principal objectives of balance sheet risk management are to maintain acceptable levels of interest rate and liquidity risk to mitigate the negative
impact of movements in interest rates on the earnings and market value of ANZBGL New Zealand’s banking book, while ensuring ANZBGL New Zealand
maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they fall due.
Interest rate risk management
Non-traded interest rate risk relates to the potential adverse impact of changes in market interest rates on ANZBGL New Zealand’s future net interest
income. This risk arises from two principal sources, namely mismatches between the repricing dates of interest bearing assets and liabilities; and the
investment of capital and other non-interest bearing liabilities and assets. Interest rate risk is reported using VaR and scenario analysis (based on the
impact of a 1% r
ate shock). The table below shows VaR figures for non-traded interest rate risk for ANZBGL New Zealand.

We undertake scenario analysis to stress test the impact of extreme events on ANZBGL New Zealand’s market risk exposures. We model a 1% overnight
parallel positive shift in the yield curve to determine the potential impact on our net interest income over the next 12 months. This is a standard risk
measure which assumes the parallel shift is reflected in all wholesale and customer rates.
The table below shows the outcome of this risk measure for the current and previous financial years, expressed as a percentage of reported net interest
income.

Average exposure (in absolute terms) 0.0% 0.4%

Foreign currency risk – structural exposures
Where it is considered appropriate, ANZBGL New Zealand takes out economic hedges against larger foreign exchange denominated expenditure streams
(primarily Australian Dollar, US Dollar and US Dollar correlated). The primary objective of hedging these streams is to protect against a significant decrease
in shareholder value due to negative impacts of foreign exchange rate movements.

Liquidity and funding risk
Liquidity risk overview, management and control responsibilities
Liquidity risk is the risk that ANZBGL New Zealand:
• is unable to meet its payment obligations (including repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt) when they fall due; or
• does not have the appropriate amount, tenor and composition of funding and liquidity to fund increases in its assets.
Management of liquidity and funding is overseen by ALCO following delegation from the BRC. Within an overall framework established by the BRC,
Treasury and Market & Treasury Risk have responsibility for the control of funding and liquidity risk. ANZBGL New Zealand liquidity and funding risks are
governed by principles approved by the BRC that include:
• maintaining the ability to meet all payment obligations in the immediate term;
• maintaining the ability to meet ‘survival horizons’ under New Zealand specific and general market liquidity stress scenarios to meet cash flow
obligations over the short to medium term;
• maintaining strength in the balance sheet structure to ensure long term resilience in the liquidity and funding risk profile;
• adequately diversifying funding arrangements by counterparty, geography and tenor;
• maintaining a portfolio of high-quality liquid assets to act as a source of liquidity in times of stress and support normal day-to-day payment activities;
and
• establishing a stress funding plan that would cover a range of market funding scenarios.
Key areas of measurement for liquidity and funding risk
Supervision and regulation
RBNZ requires the Bank to have a comprehensively documented Board approved liquidity framework that specifies governance and oversight
responsibilities and principal methods that will be used to measure, monitor and control liquidity risk. This also includes a formal contingency plan for
dealing with a liquidity crisis. The Banking Group is required to meet one week and one month liquidity mismatch ratios and a one year core funding ratio
each day.
Scenario modelling
A key component of ANZBGL New Zealand’s liquidity management framework is scenario modelling of a range of regulatory and internal liquidity metrics.
Potential severe liquidity crisis scenarios that model the behaviour of cash flows where there is a problem (real or perceived) may include, but are not
limited to, operational issues, doubts about solvency, or adverse credit rating changes. Under these scenarios ANZBGL New Zealand may have significant
difficulty rolling over or replacing funding. ANZBGL New Zealand’s liquidity management framework requires sufficient high quality liquid assets to be held
to meet its liquidity needs for the following one month under the modelled scenarios.
As at 30 September 2025, ANZBGL New Zealand was operating above the required minimums for the modelled scenarios.
Structural balance sheet metrics
The Banking Group’s liquidity management framework also encompasses structural balance sheet metrics such as the RBNZ’s core funding ratio. The
core funding ratio is designed to limit the amount of wholesale funding required to be rolled over within a one year timeframe and so interacts with the
modelled liquidity scenarios to maintain the Banking Group‘s liquidity position.
Wholesale funding
The Banking Group’s wholesale funding strategy is designed to deliver a sustainable portfolio of wholesale funds that balances cost efficiency with
targeting diversification by markets, investors, currencies, maturities and funding structures. Short-term and long-term wholesale funding is managed and
executed by Treasury.
The Banking Group also uses maturity concentration limits under the wholesale funding and liquidity management framework. Maturity concentration limits
ensure that the Banking Group is not required to issue large volumes of new wholesale funding within a short time period to replace maturing wholesale
funding. Funding instruments used to meet the wholesale borrowing requirement must be on a pre-established list of approved products.
Funding capacity and debt issuance planning
The Banking Group adopts a conservative approach to determine its funding capacity. Annually, a funding plan is approved by the Bank’s Board. The plan
is supplemented by regular updates and is linked to the Banking Group’s three-year strategic planning cycle.

Liquidity and funding risk (continued)
Liquidity portfolio management
ANZBGL New Zealand holds a diversified portfolio of cash and high quality liquid securities primarily to support liquidity risk management. The size of
ANZBGL New Zealand’s liquidity portfolio is determined with consideration of the amount required to meet the requirements of its internal and regulatory
liquidity scenario metrics.

2025 2024

Cash and balances with central banks 7,270 9,723
Total liquidity portfolio 29,948 28,178

Assets held in ANZBGL New Zealand’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$11,441 million at 30 September
2025 (2024: NZ$10,480 million).
RBNZ Term Lending Facility (TLF) and Funding for Lending Programme (FLP)
• Between May 2020 and July 2021, RBNZ made funds available under the TLF to promote lending to businesses. The TLF is a five-year secured
funding facility for New Zealand banks at a fixed rate of 0.25%.
• Between December 2020 and December 2022, RBNZ made funds available under the FLP to lower the cost of borrowing for New Zealand
businesses and households. The FLP is a three-year secured funding facility for New Zealand banks at a floating rate of the New Zealand Official Cash
Rate (OCR).
As at 30 September 2025, the Bank had NZ$165 million drawn under the TLF (2024: NZ$228 million) and NZ$1,000 million drawn under the FLP (2024:
NZ$2,500 million). These amounts are included in securities sold under repurchase agreements in Note 13 Deposits and other borrowings.
Liquidity crisis contingency planning
ANZBGL New Zealand maintains a liquidity crisis contingency plan to define an approach for analysing and responding to a liquidity-threatening event. The
framework includes:
• the establishment of crisis severity/stress levels;
• clearly assigned crisis roles and responsibilities;
• early warning signals indicative of an approaching crisis, and mechanisms to monitor and report these signals;
• action plans, and courses of action for altering asset and liability behaviour;
• procedures for crisis management reporting, and covering cash-flow shortfalls; and
• the approach to internal and external communications.
Funding position
ANZBGL New Zealand actively uses balance sheet disciplines to prudently manage the funding mix. ANZBGL New Zealand employs funding metrics to
ensure that an appropriate proportion of its assets are funded from stable sources, including customer liabilities, longer-dated wholesale debt (with
remaining term exceeding one year) and equity.

16. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities
ANZBGL New Zealand 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.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value
The fair valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities is generally determined at the individual instrument level.
If ANZBGL New Zealand holds offsetting risk positions, then the portfolio exception in NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (NZ IFRS 13) is used to measure
the fair value of such groups of financial assets and financial liabilities. ANZBGL New Zealand measures the portfolio based on the price that would be
received to sell a net long position (an asset) for a particular risk exposure, or to transfer a net short position (a liability) for a particular risk exposure.

Fair value designation
ANZBGL New Zealand designates certain Net 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 Fair value approach
Financial instruments classified as:
- Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities
(including trading and non-trading)
- Repurchase agreements <90 days
- Net loans and advances
- Deposits and other borrowings
- Debt issuances
Discounted cash flow (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.

16. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)
Fair value hierarchy
ANZBGL New Zealand 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 2025, NZ$434 million of assets were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 (2024: no assets were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2) and NZ$127 million of assets were transferred from Level 2 to
Level 1 for ANZBGL New Zealand (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 year. Transfers into and out of levels are measured at the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

Financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value
The financial assets and financial liabilities listed below are measured at amortised cost on ANZBGL New Zealand’s balance sheet. While this is the value at
which we expect the assets will be realised and the liabilities settled, ANZBGL New Zealand provides an estimate of the fair value of the financial assets
and financial liabilities at balance date in the table below.
Fair values of financial 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.

The following table sets out ANZBGL New Zealand’s basis of estimating the fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost where the
carrying value is not typically a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Financial asset and liability Fair value approach
Net loans and advances to banks Discounted cash flows using prevailing market rates for loans with similar credit quality.
Net loans and advances to customers Present value of future cash flows, discounted using a curve that incorporates changes in wholesale
market rates, ANZBGL New Zealand’s cost of wholesale funding and the customer margin, as
appropriate.
Deposit liability without a specified maturity or at
call
The amount payable on demand at the reporting date. We do not adjust the fair value for any value
we expect ANZBGL New Zealand to derive from retaining the deposit for a future period.
Interest bearing fixed maturity deposits and
other borrowings and acceptances with quoted
market rates
Market borrowing rates of interest for debt with a similar maturity are used to discount contractual
cash flows to derive the fair value.
Debt issuances Calculated based on quoted market prices or observable inputs as applicable. If quoted market
prices are not available, we use a discounted cash flow model using a yield curve appropriate for the
remaining term to maturity of the debt instrument. The fair value reflects adjustments to credit
spreads applicable to ANZBGL New Zealand for that instrument.



A significant portion of financial instruments are carried on the Balance Sheet at fair value. ANZBGL New Zealand therefore regularly evaluates
the key valuation assumptions used in the determination of the fair valuation of financial instruments incorporated within the financial
statements, as this can involve a high degree of judgement and estimation in determining the carrying values at the balance sheet date.
In determining the fair valuation of financial instruments, ANZBGL New Zealand has considered the impact of related economic and market
conditions on fair value measurement assumptions and the appropriateness of valuation inputs in these estimates, notably valuation
adjustments, as well as the impact of these matters on the classification of financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy.
Most of the valuation models ANZBGL New Zealand uses employ only observable market data as inputs. For certain financial instruments, we
may use data that is not readily observable in current markets. If we use unobservable market data, then we need to exercise more judgement
to determine fair value depending on the significance of the unobservable input to the overall valuation. Generally, we derive unobservable
inputs from other relevant market data and compare them to observed transaction prices where available. When establishing the fair value of a
financial instrument using a valuation technique, ANZBGL New Zealand also considers any required valuation adjustments in determining the
fair value. We may apply adjustments (such as credit valuation adjustments and funding valuation adjustments – refer to Note 9 Derivative
financial instruments) to reflect ANZBGL New Zealand’s assessment of factors that market participants would consider in determining fair value
of a particular financial instrument.

17. Offsetting
We offset financial assets and financial liabilities in the balance sheet (in accordance with NZ IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation) when there is:
• a current legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts in all circumstances; and
• an intention to settle the asset and liability on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The following table identifies financial assets and financial liabilities which have not been offset but are subject to enforceable master netting agreements
(or similar arrangements) and the related amounts not offset in the Balance Sheet. We have not taken into account the effect of over collateralisation.

Goodwill arose on the acquisition of the NBNZ Holdings Limited group on 1 December 2003, and the carrying amount reflects amortisation recognised
before the application of NZ IFRS from 1 October 2004 and subsequent business disposals. Funds management rights, assessed as having indefinite
useful lives, arose on the acquisition of the ING Holdings (NZ) Limited (now ANZ New Zealand Investments Holdings Limited) group on 30 November 2009.
Goodwill and funds management rights are allocated to CGUs as follows:

Goodwill was assessed for indicators of impairment as at 30 September 2025, taking into account the results of the February 2025 impairment test and
associated sensitivity and scenario analysis performed and the forecast impact of recent economic events. There were no indicators of impairment
therefore, in accordance with NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, no further impairment test was required.
The following information is for the annual goodwill impairment test, and reflects the CGUs and goodwill allocations as at 28 February 2025.
Annual goodwill impairment test
The annual impairment test is performed as at the end of February each year. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the carrying amount of the relevant
CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of a CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) and its value-in-use
(VIU). We use a VIU approach to estimate the recoverable amount of the CGU to which each goodwill component is allocated. Based on this assessment
no impairment was identified for any CGU, and therefore a FVLCOD calculation was not required.

18. Goodwill and other intangible assets (continued)
Value-in-use
These calculations use cash flow projections based on a number of financial budgets within each CGU covering an initial forecast period. These
projections also incorporate economic assumptions including GDP, inflation, unemployment, residential and commercial property prices, and the
implementation of RBNZ’s increased capital requirements. Cash flows beyond the forecast period are extrapolated using the terminal growth rate. These
cash flow projections are discounted using a discount rate derived using a capital asset pricing model.
Future changes in the assumptions upon which the calculation is based may materially impact this assessment, resulting in the potential impairment of
part or all of the goodwill balances.
Values applied in 28 February 2025 impairment test
Forecast period and projections To 30 September 2028 – a forecast period was used to cover the implementation of RBNZ’s increased
capital requirements over the transition period ending on 1 July 2028.
Revenue growth over forecast
period
Comprises impacts of net interest margin and volume growth, arising from planned responses to known
regulatory and economic forecasts. Average annual forecast revenue growth rates are shown below.
Credit impairment over forecast
period
Varies by CGU, based on ECL modelling for 2025 and 2026, before returning to long run experience levels for
2027 to 2028. Long run experience levels are based on ANZBGL New Zealand’s bad debts written off, net of
recoveries, since 2004 of 0.13% of gross loans and advances. Credit impairment for each CGU as a
percentage of forecast gross loans and advances for 2027 to 2028 is shown below.
Terminal growth rate 2.0% - based on 2026 forecast inflation from RBNZ’s February 2025 Monetary Policy Statement.
Discount rate
Post tax: 11.1% (February 2024: 11.7%).
The main variables in the calculation of the discount rate used are the risk free rate, beta and the market risk
premium. The risk-free rate was the average traded 10-year New Zealand government bond yield as at 28
February 2025 of 4.6%. The market risk premium was estimated using observed historic rates of return for
the New Zealand stock exchange and 10-year government bonds. Beta was consistent with observable
measures applied in the regional banking sector.
The values of the average revenue growth, credit impairment as a percentage of forecast gross loans and advances, and pre-tax discount rates
assumptions by CGU are shown in the table below. The implied pre-tax discount rates are significantly higher than the post-tax discount rate above
because regulatory capital retention over the forecast period is not tax effected.

We performed stress tests for key sensitivities in each CGU. For Institutional, a 140 basis point decrease in the average annual growth over the forecast
period to 0.2% would be required to reduce the CGU's recoverable amount to nil. A change, considered to be reasonably possible by management, in key
assumptions would not cause the carrying amounts of any CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.

18. Goodwill and other intangible assets (continued)


Management judgement is used to assess the recoverable value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the useful economic life of an
asset, or whether an asset has an indefinite life. We reassess the recoverability of the carrying value at each reporting date.

Goodwill
A number of key judgements are required in the determination of whether or not a goodwill balance is impaired including:
• the level at which goodwill is allocated – consistent with prior periods the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated are ANZBGL New Zealand’s
revenue generating segments that benefit from relevant historical business combinations generating goodwill.
• determination of the carrying amount of each CGU which includes an allocation, on a reasonable and consistent basis, of corporate assets
and liabilities that are not directly attributable to the CGUs to which goodwill is allocated.
• assessment of the recoverable amount of each CGU used to determine whether the carrying amount of goodwill is supported and is based
on judgements including the selection of the model and key assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount.
Software and other intangible assets
At each reporting date, software and other intangible assets are assessed for indicators of impairment and, where such indicators are
identified, an impairment test is performed. In the event that an asset’s carrying amount is determined to be greater than its recoverable
amount, the carrying amount of the asset is written down immediately. Those assets not yet ready for use are tested for impairment annually.
In addition, the expected useful lives of intangible assets are assessed at each reporting date. The assessment requires management
judgement, and in relation to our software assets, a number of factors can influence the expected useful lives. These factors include changes
to business strategy, significant divestments and the pace of technological change.

Customer remediation
Customer remediation includes provisions for expected refunds to customers and other counterparties, and related customer, counterparty and regulatory
claims, penalties and litigation costs and outcomes.
Restructuring costs
Provisions for restructuring costs arise from activities related to material changes in the scope of business undertaken by ANZBGL New Zealand or the
manner in which that business is undertaken and include employee termination benefits. Costs relating to on-going activities are not provided for and are
expensed as incurred.
Leasehold make good
Provisions associated with leased premises where, at the end of a lease, ANZBGL New Zealand is required to remove any fixtures and fittings installed in
the leased property. This obligation arises immediately upon installation. Estimated make good costs are added to the right of use asset (within premises
and equipment) upon installation and amortised over the lease term.
Other
Other provisions comprise various other provisions including losses arising from other legal action, operational issues, and warranties and indemnities
provided in connection with various disposals of businesses and assets.

ANZBGL New Zealand recognises provisions when there is a present obligation arising from a past event, an outflow of economic resources is
probable, and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably.
The amount recognised is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into
account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the timing and amount of the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the estimated
cash flows required to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows
.



ANZBGL New Zealand holds provisions for various obligations including customer remediation, restructuring costs, leasehold make good and
litigation related claims. These provisions involve judgements regarding the timing and outcome of future events, including estimates of
expenditure required to satisfy such obligations. Where relevant, expert legal advice has been obtained and, in light of such advice, provisions
and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made.
In relation to customer remediation, determining the amount of the provisions, which represent management’s best estimate of the cost of
settling the identified matters, requires the exercise of significant judgement. It will often be necessary to form a view on a number of different
assumptions, including the number of impacted customers, the average refund per customer, and the implications of regulatory exposures and
customer claims having regard to their specific facts and circumstances. There is a heightened level of estimation uncertainty where the
customer remediation provision relates to a legal proceeding or matter. The appropriateness of the underlying assumptions is reviewed on a
regular basis against actual experience and other relevant evidence including expert legal advice, and adjustments are made to the provisions
where appropriate.
