Chair’s message

In 2024, we celebrated 175 years of AMP serving the community

==> picture [281 x 321] intentionally omitted <==

“ Our goal remains to help Australians maximise retirement outcomes through a combination of guidance and innovative products that deliver sustainable income streams, offering peace of mind and financial security throughout retirement.”

Our rich history connects to our present-day purpose of helping people create their tomorrow. This milestone year was an important acknowledgement of our heritage and a springboard for AMP’s future.

Underlying net profit of $236m for the year was up 15.1% on FY 23, with statutory net profit of $150m. We repositioned the business for the future with the completion of the transaction for our AMP Advice business. The partnership we created has transformed the advice industry landscape in Australia, providing a large-scale services and licensee business for advisers. There was a smooth transition to this new model in December 2024.

In our wealth Platforms business, our innovative retirement products available on North, continue to attract attention in the industry and interest from advisers. We’re proud of the returns we’ve delivered for members in our Superannuation & Investments business, which were top quartile in 2024 and we continue to see improvements in flows. Our new digital bank for small business and personal banking launched to the public in February 2025, and our New Zealand business continues to deliver steady returns despite the challenging local economic environment.

Capital management

In October 2024 we completed our capital management program following the sale of AMP Capital, returning $1.1 billion to shareholders since August 2022 through dividends and on-market share buybacks. We have announced a FY 24 final dividend of 1.0 cent per share, 20% franked, reflecting the progress made during the year.

The Board carefully considers capital as one of its core responsibilities. Our objective is to strike a balance between short term returns to shareholders and investment in strategic initiatives that will drive sustainable growth in shareholder value over the medium to long term.

Governance

As you are aware the Board has committed to ensuring we have skills around the table that are relevant to the business AMP is today and will be in the future. At the beginning of 2024 we welcomed Kathleen Bailey-Lord and Anna Leibel to the Board, bringing fresh perspectives and complementary expertise to the Board. Their appointments support our commitment to maintaining a diverse and skilled board that is well placed to perform its important governance role and oversight of the management team in delivering for shareholders. This is an ongoing task that is top of mind for the Board.

We are focused on implementing fair remuneration structures and practices that align with shareholder interests and that are appropriate for a business of our size. Our approach is covered in our Remuneration report.

Supporting Australians to be financially confident in retirement

Australia has much to be proud of in our superannuation system. We have a robust, member-focused system that empowers Australians to shape their financial futures, with the objective of super now enshrined in law.

AMP has a key role to play in helping people to retire with confidence. While the system is strong, many people struggle to navigate the decumulation phase, with research showing that despite the assets of retirees increasing, many still fear they will outlive their savings. This impacts the financial confidence of retirees, causing many to underspend and unnecessarily compromise their quality of life.

Superannuation funds have an important role to play in helping educate members about the system and how it interacts with the Age Pension. This includes

providing access to more affordable and accessible financial advice, particularly in the critical years leading up to retirement. This year we have launched a new digital advice solution for our members, which will play an important role in addressing this knowledge gap.

Our goal remains to help Australians maximise retirement outcomes through a combination of education, guidance, and innovative products that deliver sustainable income streams, offering peace of mind and financial security throughout retirement.

Ensuring a competitive banking sector

Like superannuation, Australia’s banking sector plays a vital role in the lives of consumers, businesses, and the economy as a whole. While the system has generally served Australia well, the sector remains highly concentrated at the top end.

Current regulatory and policy settings reinforce the dynamics that favour the large banking institutions, and this has led to an uneven playing field that reduces the ability for serious, innovative competition to emerge. Such innovation is necessary to drive the best value and service for customers. Recognising this, the Government has asked the Council of Financial Regulators and the ACCC to inquire into the role and state of the small and medium-sized banking sectors in providing competition, and critically, current and potential barriers to competition.

This is a very important task that carries with it the opportunity to foster greater competition. Innovation nearly always happens at the edge of the economy. At that edge, funding is often hard to access as over-regulation, lack of competition and the allocation of capital in the hands of a few dominant players, all combine to reduce opportunity for individuals and

small (often new) businesses. Addressing the uneven playing field would result in more consumer choice and increased innovation, with customers the biggest winners.

We have seen the Productivity Commission and multiple inquiries over recent years repeatedly highlight the need for a more level playing field in the sector. It is therefore critical that industry, regulators and Government work together in 2025 to review settings to ensure the smaller bank sector is able to provide a viable alternative to the largest institutions.

The cost of regulation for smaller banks leads to an outsized unit cost of serving customers and this needs to be addressed if we want them to provide genuine competition. The cost of regulation could be reduced for smaller players by setting prudential regulation requirements in proportion to the size and complexity of the bank. If this were addressed, it would improve the ability of smaller banks to compete on a more even playing field, while safeguarding critical market characteristics such as safety and stability.

Looking forward

With AMP repositioned for the future, we have momentum in our wealth businesses, and a strategic focus on supporting Australians in retirement. Our new digital bank has also been launched, with a focus on enabling small businesses to thrive. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Directors, Executive Committee, and all our people for their hard work during 2024. Finally, thank you to our shareholders for your continued support.

CEO message

Positioned for growth as a simpler AMP

We are supporting our customers around the two biggest assets most Australians will ever own – their home and their retirement savings.

What are you proud of when you look back at 2024?

In 2024 we celebrated 175 years of AMP, and I’m proud that we could honour that heritage by continuing to deliver on our promises to our stakeholders. As a celebration I had the opportunity to walk through our archives which are now housed in the Menzies library at ANU. This was both an emotional and motivating experience as we respect the heritage of the organisation but acknowledge that the future AMP we are building will be very different.

During the year we have delivered on the commitments we made including returning $1.1 billion to shareholders, driving efficiency and meeting our cost targets, delivering growth in our wealth businesses and managing the performance of AMP Bank in a very difficult environment. Importantly, we continued to simplify AMP with the sale of our Advice business. The transaction with advice services provider Entireti and AZ NGA is an important partnership and we are excited by the opportunity this collaboration presents for both our businesses. We have demonstrated positive momentum in flows in our Platforms and Superannuation & Investments businesses, have launched our new digital bank for small business and personal banking and are well positioned for a positive year ahead.

How did AMP’s businesses perform?

AMP’s underlying net profit after tax for the year was $236m, an increase of 15.1% from FY 23. The Board has declared a FY 24 final dividend of 1.0 cent per share, bringing the FY 24 full year dividend to 3.0 cents per share, 20% franked. We have maintained a disciplined focus on controllable costs, which have reduced by 6.1% to $648m, with clear cost targets going into 2025. Importantly, we have momentum in our wealth businesses and we are positioning AMP as a pre-eminent specialist in solutions for Australians wanting confidence in their retirement.

The performance of our Platforms business has been supported by continued momentum in net cash flows, positive market conditions and cost discipline. We have strengthened our position in the retirement space, particularly through our multi-award winning MyNorth Lifetime account. We remain focused on continuing the development of innovative solutions for advisers to support Australians to retire with financial confidence.

In Superannuation & Investments, we are pleased to see continued improvement in net cash flows, with increased retention supported by strong investment returns, a compelling insurance offering and competitive fees for members.

“ I am proud of the progress we have made to stabilise and simplify the business. In 2025 we have the opportunity to drive growth, and we are well positioned to do so.”

In AMP Bank, we have managed the loan book carefully, as the highly competitive environment and difficult economic climate meant there was a necessity to prioritise margin. The launch of our new digital bank for small business and personal banking was delivered on time and on budget with initial customer reactions being positive. This innovation will help to diversify our revenue and funding mix in the medium and longer term.

Our New Zealand business has delivered a steady performance, and we have continued to diversify revenue sources, despite a challenging economic environment in that market. Tight management of costs continues.

In our partnerships, contribution from China Life was up 20.5%, and our partnership with PCCP benefited from the normalisation of property valuations in the US.

How are you supporting customers in the current environment?

The cost of living pressures in Australia and New Zealand have been challenging for our customers and for our people, meaning our focus on financial wellness is more important than ever.

We have responded with initiatives to support customers who find themselves in financial hardship, and to refer them for dedicated support where and when it is needed. This included supporting 191 of our most vulnerable customers through our partnership with Good Shepherd, and delivering specialised training for 116 customer facing staff concerning how to best assist vulnerable and distressed customers.

Through this current challenging environment for customers and members we are continuing to support them to grow their longer-term wealth. In our Superannuation and Platforms businesses, the returns we are delivering are helping customers and members to achieve their financial goals. We are also supporting Australians in navigating the complex retirement system, particularly the transition to retirement and the

drawdown phase. We know that many retirees preserve their super balances rather than spending them, with a fear of running out meaning that they compromise their quality of life – especially during the active early years of retirement.

To address this, we will continue to advocate for more affordable, accessible advice, to enhance retirement outcomes, as well as developing our own innovative solutions to help retirees unlock the benefits from these retirement savings.

In AMP Bank, we know that small businesses are the cornerstone of the Australian economy, and our new digital bank is focused on delivering tailored features and functionality to support their growth and success. We have also updated the home loan application requirements for selfemployed customers, simplifying the borrowing experience for business owners and helping them to unlock borrowing options.

How is AMP leveraging the opportunities with AI and other emerging technologies?

We see great opportunities in AI. Our priority has been to establish an AI centre of excellence and to develop robust governance processes around our adoption of AI. 97% of our people have completed training in AI literacy and responsible AI.

With that framework in place we are deploying AI to make it easier for our people to help our customers and members. We have launched an AI assistant across our Superannuation contact centre that features chat, call transcription and summarisation, quality monitoring and customer sentiment analysis, and will be rolling this out to other contact centres in 2025. We will also deliver an AI assistant to advisers using our North platform, to support them with their client annual reviews.

These are exciting developments, but we are aware of the responsibilities that arise with the use of AI and have

implemented strong governance and monitoring mechanisms to ensure equity and fairness for our people and customers.

What are your priorities for 2025?

I am proud of the progress we have made over the past year to simplify the business and to drive growth. In 2025, we have the opportunity to build on that momentum, and we are well positioned to do so.

Our North platform continues to grow, and we will further develop features that advisers truly value, as well as innovative solutions that support their clients in retirement.

In Superannuation & Investments, we have recently launched digital advice for members, and we will be delivering a lifetime income solution, both of which will help more Australians with a financially secure retirement.

We have just launched our new small business and personal bank, which is an important strategic initiative. I’m proud that we’ve made this come to life in just over a year, and it has brought a new energy and new agile ways of working to AMP.

Finally, we remain focused on delivering on our commitments of disciplined cost management and driving operational and capital efficiency.

I’m proud of how we are supporting our customers with valuable solutions around the two biggest assets most Australians will ever own – their home and their retirement savings. Thank you for your ongoing support as we position AMP for growth and strive to deliver on our purpose, helping people create their tomorrow.

FY 24 performance

$107m Underlying NPAT (FY 23: $90m)

Underlying NPAT increased 18.9% to $107 million (FY 23: $90 million), driven by strong market conditions, positive net cashflow momentum and cost discipline. Controllable costs reduced by 2.3% to $169 million (FY 23: $173 million). Margin compression to 45bps (FY 23: 47bps) was driven by AUM mix changes, with higher margin managed funds reducing as a proportion of total AUM, which was partly offset by growth in Managed Portfolios.

Net cashflows (excluding pension payments) were $2.8 billion, up 96.7% (FY 23: $1.4 billion), driven by higher inflows benefitting from continued growth in Managed Portfolios, which reached $19.1 billion. During FY 24, North signed 99 new distribution agreements with AFSLs, and activated ~140 net new advisers with FUA >$1 million (net figure excludes advisers exiting the industry). AMP’s innovative retirement solutions continue to drive new adviser interest in North.

AMP Bank

FY 24 performance

$72m

Underlying NPAT (FY 23: $93m)

Underlying NPAT of $72 million (FY 23: $93 million) reflects subdued volume growth as a result of prioritising margins. Net Interest Margin (NIM) for the year was 1.26% (FY 23: 1.42%), with NIM compression moderating over the second half of the year. Growth in the residential mortgage book returned in 2H 24, driven by selective price changes and a focus on the self-employed segment. Credit quality remained strong, with 90+ days mortgage arrears at 0.76%.

Controllable costs reduced 11.3% through disciplined cost out initiatives and reduced project spend which was implemented to offset the declining margin.

Group

FY 24 performance

Group earnings improved with NPAT (underlying) loss of $47 million in FY 24, reduced from $65 million loss in FY 23.

This was predominantly driven by an improvement in Other Partnership earnings, which increased 68.4% as US real estate valuations within the PCCP sponsor investment improved following a challenging FY 23. The contribution from China partnerships of $47 million (FY 23: $39 million) reflects China Life Pension Company earnings normalising following regulatory changes impacting the 2H 23 result.

$47m loss

Underlying NPAT

(FY 23: $65m loss)

Cost out initiatives reduced Group controllable costs by 9.8%, which included absorbing inflationary pressures and previously announced stranded costs. The reduction in investment income (down 46.9%) reflects lower capital levels given the capital returned to shareholders as part of Tranche 3 of the capital management program.

Material risks

Managing our key risks

AMP’s approach to achieving its strategic objectives is to take measured risks within our risk appetite. AMP has a clear strategic plan to drive our business forward and an Enterprise Risk Management framework to identify, measure, control, and report risks.

Enterprise Risk Management framework

Effective risk management is fundamental to understanding and responding to changes in AMP’s operating environment, enabling us to achieve our purpose and strategic objectives. Risk management is a responsibility of all AMP employees and is reflected in AMP’s values – put customers first, own it, be brave, do the right thing, and play as one team.

AMP’s risk management framework provides the foundation for how risks are managed across AMP and enables AMP to meet its legislative and regulatory requirements, codes, and ethical standards, as well as internal policies and procedures. It includes the following key components:

  • Strategy and business plans covering the whole of AMP

  • Risk management strategy

  • Risk appetite statement

  • Supporting policies and practices

By establishing the principles, requirements, roles, and responsibilities for management of risk across AMP, the framework ensures all employees have clarity on how risks are to be managed to fulfil the obligations to key stakeholders, including customers, shareholders and regulators.

AMP continues to focus on maintaining an appropriate risk culture, aligned to AMP’s purpose and values. Risk culture is measured biannually, with results provided to the board, and focus areas identified with clear action plans.

The risk appetite statement articulates the level of risk the board is willing to accept to ensure the effective delivery of AMP’s strategic objectives. There is clear alignment between AMP’s corporate strategy and the risk appetite of the AMP Limited Board, to ensure that decisions made are consistent with the nature and level of risk the board and management are willing to accept.

  • Risk culture and performance management

21

Key business challenges

AMP is focused on delivering on its strategy, and in doing so remains conscious of various challenges affecting the financial services industry. These include, but are not limited to, the following (listed in alphabetical order):

==> picture [45 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

Business, employee and business partner conduct

The conduct of financial institutions remains an area of significant focus for the financial services industry both globally and in Australia and New Zealand. AMP devotes significant effort to ensure that our business practices, management, staff or business partner behaviours adequately meet the expectations of customers, regulators and the broader community, and do not result in an adverse impact on our reputation and value proposition to customers.

Our Code of Conduct outlines how AMP seeks to conduct its business and how it expects people to conduct themselves. The principles that define the high standards outline the behaviour and decision-making practices, including how we treat our employees, customers, business partners and shareholders. We are committed to ensuring the right culture is embedded in our everyday practices.

AMP embraces a safe and respectful work environment that encourages our people to report issues or concerns in the workplace. Directors, employees (current and former), contractors, service providers or any relative or dependents of any of these people can utilise AMP’s whistleblowing program to report conduct or unethical behaviours.

Climate change

AMP, its customers and its external suppliers may be adversely affected by physical and transition risks associated with climate change. These effects may directly impact AMP and its customers through a range of physical, financial and legal risks to our business, the investments we manage on behalf of our customers and the wider community.

Initiatives to mitigate or respond to adverse impacts of climate change may in turn impact market and asset prices, economic activity, and customer behaviour, particularly in geographic locations and industry sectors adversely affected by these changes.

AMP’s approach to managing climate-related risks and opportunities is detailed in AMP’s annual Sustainability report. This includes quantitative and qualitative methods to manage climate-related risks of our investment practices and measuring the scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions associated with operational, lending and investment activities. AMP has been carbon neutral across its operations since 2013 to address the direct impacts of our business activities.

22

Material Risks

Competitor and customer environment

The financial services industry, as well as the community in Australia and New Zealand more broadly, have faced various challenges throughout 2024, including natural disasters, economic uncertainty, and high interest rates. Throughout the year AMP supported customers in a number of ways, including providing protection for bank customer and superannuation members at risk of financial abuse and experiencing vulnerability.

Customer expectations are evolving which is intensifying competition within banking and wealth management. Furthermore, as economic uncertainty prevails, it is affecting the performance of assets under management across the industry. AMP continues to adapt its capabilities and operating model to remain competitive and relevant to customers.

In 2024, AMP continued to deliver on its strategy to reposition AMP as a simpler, purpose-led, customerfocused business in its core markets of banking and wealth management. Notable developments included creating a partnership and ownership structure with Entireti Limited and AZ Next Generation Advisory Limited for the AMP Advice business and the employee launch of a new digital bank designed for small business.

Cyber security threats, fraud and scam threats

Cyber risks, fraud and scams remain major threats in a continuously evolving digital landscape. AMP is dedicated to enhancing its response to these risks by preventing, detecting, and addressing cyber incidents promptly. We also monitor potential fraud and scams and address them as early as possible.

AMP aligns its cybersecurity practices with the National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST cybersecurity framework. This alignment ensures a comprehensive approach to managing and mitigating cybersecurity risks.

Continuous improvement is a cornerstone of AMP’s cybersecurity capabilities. We regularly review and update our cyber defence protocols to adapt to emerging threats and technological advancements. Through ongoing assessments and improvements, we aim to stay ahead of potential risks and ensure the highest level of security for our clients and stakeholders.

AMP’s Cyber Defence Centre employs best practices, advanced technologies, and intelligence sharing with the Australian Government and the industry to bolster cyber defences and situational awareness.

We also recognise the importance of employee education for securing customer data and ensure regular cyber security seminars are conducted for all AMP staff awareness.

AMP continues to strengthen its framework to prevent, detect and respond to frauds and scams. During 2024, AMP updated its Fraud Policy and continued to enhance and implement its anti-scam strategy. AMP Bank, aligned to the Australian Bankers Association Scam-Safe Accord, has committed to a range of anti-scam measures to help protect our customers and the broader community from scammers.

Operational risk environment

Operational risk exposures for AMP relate to losses resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. These include, but are not limited to, information technology, human resources, internal and external fraud and scams, money laundering and counter-terrorism financing, bribery, and corruption. This environment will be further stressed by the other key business challenges included in this section.

We are committed to mitigating operational risk by reducing operational complexity and strengthening risk management, internal controls, and governance. We continue simplifying superannuation products and investment options, and our corporate structure.

The AMP operational risk profile reflects these exposures, and the financial statements of AMP contain certain provisions and contingent liability disclosures for these risks in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

23

Organisational Regulatory change environment

Changes were made throughout the year to continue to simplify the operating model of the business.

There is always a risk that business momentum is lost while organisational change is implemented. There is a risk that the extended period of change may have an adverse impact on employees causing a strain to deliver on our strategy and transformation initiatives. These risks will be mitigated by maintaining leadership and performance focus on the business.

AMP continues to invest in adopting new ways of working to drive efficiency and improve its practices to increase accountability and build on core strengths. We recognise that failure to execute appropriately on the implementation of these changes can increase the risks of disruption to AMP’s business operations.

AMP operates in Australia and New Zealand, with their own legislative and regulatory requirements. AMP continues to anticipate upcoming changes to these requirements.

AMP continues to respond and adjust its business processes for any changes. However, failure to adequately anticipate and respond to future regulatory changes could have a material adverse impact on the performance of its businesses and achieving its strategic objectives. AMP is committed to continually strengthening its risk management practices, its control environment and enhancing its compliance systems across its businesses. AMP’s internal policies, frameworks and procedures seek to ensure any changes in our regulatory obligations are complied with. Compliance, legal and regulatory risk that results in breaches is reported to AMP management committees and regulators. This is managed in accordance with internal policies. Regulatory consultations and interactions are reported and monitored as part of AMP’s internal risk and compliance reporting process. AMP actively participates in these interactions and cooperates with all regulators to resolve such matters.

More information about our approach to these challenges can be found on our website at: amp.com.au/ about-amp/whatwe-do/corporatesustainability.

Significant changes to the state of affairs

Apart from as elsewhere disclosed in this report, there were no other significant changes in the state of affairs during the year.

On Friday 2nd of August 2024, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) removed additional licence conditions imposed on N.M. Superannuation Proprietary Limited (N.M. Super) in response to governance and risk management concerns. APRA also considered that the requirements of the Court Enforceable Undertaking entered into by N.M. Super had been met.

24

Governance

Our approach to governance

The board of AMP believes high standards of corporate governance are essential to achieving AMP’s purpose of helping people create their tomorrow, and creating value and sustainable outcomes for AMP’s shareholders, customers and the communities in which AMP operates. As the board oversees AMP’s progress against its strategy, the board’s commitment to governance was demonstrated in a number of key areas in 2024:

Chair succession & board renewal

Mike Hirst was appointed as Chair of AMP, effective April 2024, following the retirement of Debra Hazelton, who had served as Chair of AMP since August 2020. Kathleen BaileyLord and Anna Leibel commenced their appointments as AMP non-executive directors in January 2024. Changes to board committee Chairs include the appointment of Andrew Best as Chair of the Risk and Compliance committee, effective May 2024 and Kathleen BaileyLord as Chair of the Remuneration committee, effective November 2024.

Sustainability and ESG performance

In 2024, AMP Limited was included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) Australia for the third year in a row. The index tracks the performance of the top 30% of the 200 listed Australian companies in the S&P/ASX 200 that lead the field in terms of sustainability

Strategy

The board oversaw management’s strategy implementation, which in 2024 included the sale of AMP’s Advice business; the delivery of AMP’s new digital bank for small business and personal banking; driving momentum in our wealth businesses to position AMP as a retirement specialist; and the completion of the $1.1 billion capital return to shareholders.

Inclusion and Diversity

AMP is committed to creating an environment which empowers people to be their authentic selves and is reflective of AMP’s customers and community. In 2024 AMP achieved gender balance targets of 40:40:20 across the

board, executive management, middle management and the organisation overall, with ‘head of’ level achieving 39.6% female representation. In addition, AMP delivered against key actions outlined in the 2024 inclusion and diversity strategy including enhanced training to drive awareness, and published company gender pay gap and performance against key gender equity indicators.

Culture, conduct & ethical behaviour

In building a high-performance culture anchored to AMP’s purpose and values, AMP took steps in 2024 to further embed existing performance and recognition programs, driving greater accountability and shared celebration of purpose and values in action. People policies were also refreshed to further reinforce the expected behaviours in line with AMP’s values and code of conduct. This included consequence management and workplace respect, and the enhancement of the sexual harassment policy through the introduction of a standalone policy.

Risk culture

AMP continues to focus on maintaining an appropriate risk culture, where ‘Respect Risk’ is everyone’s business. It is the accountability of the board to enable this through approval and oversight of the risk management framework, risk appetite statement and risk management strategy; setting a strong tone from the top, role-modelling robust risk management and establishing the right expectations; and monitoring the effectiveness and implementation of the risk culture framework.

  • →[ To read more about AMP’s approach to corporate ] governance, please see the 2024 Corporate governance statement

25

AMP’s governance framework provides clear separation of the board’s oversight functions from the executive responsibilities and accountability of the CEO and AMP’s leadership team, the executive committee. This framework is supported by AMP’s constitution, internal policies, charters, standards and procedures which facilitate this separation of responsibilities. An overview of AMP’s corporate governance framework is depicted below.

For the purposes of this report, our business is divided into four operating business units: Platforms, Superannuation & Investments, AMP Bank and New Zealand Wealth Management.

Platforms is a leading provider of superannuation, retirement and investment solutions, enabling advisers and their clients to build a personalised investment portfolio on AMP’s flagship North platform. North is an award-winning online wrap platform which continues to deliver on its commitment of strengthening and broadening investment choice for clients and providing a contemporary platform for advisers to manage their clients’ funds.

Superannuation & Investments offers a market competitive super and pension solution across individual and corporate super through one of the largest retail Master Trusts in Australia (SignatureSuper). The open investment menu caters to different risk profiles with exposure to a range of professional managers in order to meet the needs and goals of customers.

AMP Bank offers residential mortgages, business financing, deposits and transactional banking services. The Bank continues to focus on growth through its digital channels, improving the experience for both customers and intermediaries. AMP Bank helps around 185,000 customers with their banking needs.

New Zealand Wealth Management provides clients with a variety of wealth management solutions including KiwiSaver, corporate superannuation, retail investments and general insurance. It also provides financial advice and coaching under the AdviceFirst and enable.me brands.

In addition to these operating business units, AMP also holds several partnerships and other retained interests including:

  • 19.99% of China Life Pension Company (CLPC),

  • 14.97% of China Life AMP Asset Management Company Ltd (CLAMP),

  • 22.95% in US real estate investment manager, PCCP, LLC (PCCP), and

  • 30.00% of Mutual Advice Partners Pty Ltd (a subsidiary of Entireti Limited, details below).

Partnership for Advice business

On 2 December 2024, AMP announced the completion of the Advice transaction creating a new partnership and ownership structure with Entireti Limited (Entireti) and AZ Next Generation Advisory Limited (AZ NGA) for the AMP Advice business, which had previously been announced on 8 August 2024. Entireti acquired AMP’s financial advice licensees: Charter Financial Planning Limited, Hillross Financial Services Limited, AMP Financial Planning Pty Limited, as well as its self-licensed offer of Jigsaw Support Services Pty Limited for $10.2m. AMP retains a minority interest of 30% in a new joint venture entity (Mutual Advice Partners Pty Ltd) holding these four businesses. AZ NGA acquired AMP’s equity holdings in 16 financial advice practices for $82.5m. The transaction has resulted in an accounting loss of $36m.

Review of operations and results

The profit attributable to the shareholders of AMP Limited for the full year ended 31 December 2024 was $150m (FY23: $265m). Profit for the group and key performance metrics were as follows:

This reflects improved Platforms earnings (18.9%), improved Superannuation & Investments earnings (26.4%), improved New Zealand Wealth Management earnings (8.8%) and an improvement in Group earnings (27.7%). This was partly offset by lower AMP Bank earnings (22.6%) which reflects subdued volume growth as a result of prioritising margins.

  • FY24 NPAT (statutory) profit of $150m (FY23: $265m) includes $36m loss on sale of Advice business, recognition of certain one-off costs, including business simplification costs, litigation and remediation related costs, permanent tax differences and other one-off related impacts. FY23 was favourably impacted by a $245m net gain on sale of the AMP Capital and SuperConcepts businesses.

Directors’ report

for the year ended 31 December 2024

FY24 Business unit overview

Platforms

NPAT (underlying) of $107m increased by $17m (18.9%) on FY23, predominantly driven by higher AUM reflecting stronger market conditions, improved cashflows and cost discipline.

Net cash inflows of $2.8b (FY23: $1.4b) increased by $1.4b on FY23 driven by higher inflows benefiting from continued growth in Managed Portfolios. Higher pension payments (up 24% on FY23) are predominantly due to the increased minimum drawdown rates from July 2023. AUM based revenue to average AUM of 45bps in FY24 was lower by 2bps compared to FY23 driven by AUM mix changes.

Average AUM of $75.4b was $7.4b (10.8%) higher than FY23, with continued growth in managed portfolios where AUM is now $19.1b.

Superannuation & Investments

NPAT (underlying) of $67m increased by $14m (26.4%) on FY23 driven by higher investment income, lower variable costs and continued cost discipline.

Net cash outflows of $1.0b improved from $6.4b in FY23 ($2.1b excluding the $4.3 billion mandate loss in FY23). This reflects resilient inflows and improved outflows, driven by the renewed focus on the member proposition. AUM based revenue to average AUM of 63bps in FY24 was 1bp lower compared to FY23.

AMP Bank

NPAT (underlying) of $72m decreased by $21m (22.6%) on FY23 predominantly reflecting subdued volume growth as a result of prioritising margins, partly offset by lower costs. Correspondingly, net interest income decreased 13.7% and net interest margin was down 16bps to 1.26%. AMP Bank’s return on capital in FY24 was 6.1%, down from 7.9% in FY23 driven by lower profit.

During the period, AMP Bank prioritised margin over growth, servicing around 185,000 customers and improved mortgage turnaround times to an average number of 8.3 days to approval. AMP Bank continues to maintain a conservative approach to lending: 90+ day arrears was 0.76%, and 45% of the portfolio is ahead of the mortgage repayments by more than three months.

New Zealand Wealth Management

NPAT (underlying) of $37m in FY24 increased by $3m (8.8%) on FY23. Favourable market conditions have driven 3.4% growth in AUM based revenues and eased the impact of lower revenue due to FY23 divestment of legacy products. Other revenue in FY23 included one-off gains that are being offset in FY24 with the improvement in the distribution revenues and additional months of financial coaching revenue.

Net cashflows of $150m in FY24 were $22m ahead of FY23.

Group

Group earnings improved with NPAT (underlying) losses of $47m, reduced from losses of $65m in FY23. This was predominantly driven by an improvement in partnerships earnings of $79m which increased $21m on FY23, reflecting a stronger profit contribution from the sponsor investment in PCCP, mostly from normalising of property valuations in the US and higher China partnership earnings due to CLPC earnings normalising following regulatory changes impacting 2H23. Additionally, the reduction in controllable costs and interest expense also contributed to the improvement in Group earnings. This was partially offset by a reduction in investment income (down 46.9%), reflecting lower capital levels given the capital returned to shareholders as part of Tranche 3 of the capital management program.

Capital, liquidity and dividend

Capital and liquidity

A number of operating entities within the AMP group of companies are regulated, including AMP Bank (an authorised deposit taking institution), superannuation entities, and the Wealth businesses which have Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) requirements. These companies are regulated by APRA and ASIC and are required to hold minimum levels of regulatory capital and liquidity.

AMP group’s CET1 capital surplus as at 31 December 2024 was $139m (FY23: $300m), with the decrease reflecting profits made (+$150m), benefits arising from net business activities, offset by on-market share buybacks (-$244m), the FY23 final dividend (-$55m), the FY24 interim dividend (-$51m) and changes in interest rates affecting the cash flow hedge reserves which are deducted from capital.

Dividend and capital return

In August 2022, AMP announced a $1.1billion capital management program to return excess capital to shareholders. On 10 October 2024, AMP Limited announced the completion of its on-market share buyback, concluding the capital return program.

The Board has resolved to declare a final dividend of 1.0 cent per share, 20% franked, and to target a dividend payout of 2.0 cents per share per half through 2025, subject to economic conditions and other uses of capital.

37

To our shareholders

On behalf of the board, I present AMP’s 2024 Remuneration Report, my first as Chair of the Remuneration Committee. It is pleasing to note our results demonstrate that streamlining our business operations is delivering real value. Evidence of the increased momentum of our strategic growth initiatives was clear in our Platforms business where we delivered strong growth in cash flows in a very competitive market.

We remain dedicated to being a trusted and dependable partner for our customers, to ensuring regulatory compliance, and fulfilling community expectations. It is pleasing to see that the substantial progress made in 2024 is evidenced by our financial performance, improved reputation, and strong customer satisfaction.

41

Overview of 2024

Throughout 2024 we concluded our capital return program, distributing the remaining portion of the $1.1 billion to shareholders through on-market share buybacks and the resumption of dividends, finalised in October 2024 ($750 million of capital was returned in 2022 and 2023, with $350 million returned in 2024). We have made ongoing progress on simplifying the portfolio, repositioning AMP’s core businesses in wealth management and retail banking, completing the Advice sale, and resolving some material class action matters. This has allowed us to allocate resources towards future focused customer initiatives such as building digital advice for our superannuation customers, which will be launching in 2025. Additionally, AMP successfully developed a new digital bank launched to our employees in December 2024 with a public launch in 2025, delivering it within a year and within budget. During these changes, AMP’s share price increased by 71% in 2024, indicating increased confidence in our future direction.

Key Management Personnel

In 2024, there were several changes to AMP’s leadership. Debra Hazelton retired from the AMP Limited Board, and Mike Hirst succeeded her as the new AMP Limited Chair. In January, Anna Leibel and I joined the AMP Limited Board and the AMP Bank Board as Non-executive directors. Anna also became a member of the Nomination and Risk and Compliance Committees. I joined the Nomination and Remuneration Committees and was appointed Chair of the Remuneration Committee in November 2024.

Performance

For the period ending December 2024, AMP Limited’s performance result was assessed at 102.8% of the scorecard target. Strong NPAT performance against target for both underlying and statutory measures, prudent expense management, and improvements in net cashflows in our Superannuation & Investments business was fundamental to this outcome. Strong results were also achieved in customer and employee satisfaction, on enhancing our positive reputation in the market, and in effective risk management. Whilst our net cashflows in our Platforms business were below plan, we did show good year on year improvement in results.

2024 variable remuneration outcomes

The board reviewed the scorecard result of 102.8%, taking into consideration stakeholder feedback, the economic and operating environment, and shareholder experience during the performance year. On reflection, the board has approved the Short-Term Incentive (STI) pool funding of 90%. This decision aims to recognise and incentivise AMP’s key executives for their work on several strategic items throughout the year to drive sustainable value for shareholders. An overview of the STI performance objectives and assessment is provided in section 3.2.

During 2024, several Long-Term Incentive (LTI) plans were performance tested. The 2022 LTI plan and two

tranches under the CEO’s sign-on award granted in August 2021 were performance tested. The 2022 LTI plan met the performance criteria for relative total shareholder return (TSR). Consequently, the performance rights granted under this plan will vest on schedule. For the CEO’s sign-on award, the absolute TSR performance hurdle was satisfied for this tranche of the award, with all performance rights vesting. However relative TSR did not meet the minimum hurdle, resulting in all performance rights lapsing for this tranche of the award. Further details on the performance testing and outcomes for these awards can be found in sections 3.4 and 3.5.

Looking forward to 2025

As we change the shape of the business through simplification and growth via strategic initiatives, we seek to ensure our remuneration framework remains appropriate. To support the board, in 2024 we did an external review of the market including the sentiment expressed by investors through the 2024 AGM season. On balance, we concluded that the maximum variable remuneration and STI opportunity levels of our remuneration framework no longer aligns with AMP’s operating scale and size. To address this the board decided to reduce the maximum STI opportunity for the CEO and executive team from 200% to 150% of fixed remuneration effective from 1 January 2025. For the Chief Risk Officer, the maximum opportunity reduces from 140% of fixed remuneration to 105%.

The board is making changes to the LTI plan for the 2025 performance year. We will reduce the number of performance assessment metrics from three to two. This will occur by removing the Compound Average Growth Rate (CAGR) of AMP’s adjusted EPS metric (35% in the 2024 LTI plan). We will increase the weighting of the relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) metric to 70% (from 35% in the 2024 LTI plan). This metric will have a gate of absolute TSR, which needs to be above zero. The second metric, RepTrak, is retained at a weighting of 30%. Further information will be provided in the 2025 Remuneration Report.

We are committed to the principles of our remuneration system incentivising our team to create sustainable value for all stakeholders.

The board would like to thank our CEO, Executive team and all AMP employees for their ongoing commitment to AMP and hard work throughout the year. While there is still much to accomplish, the team has continued to deliver against our strategy during 2024, and we recognise the effort it has taken to achieve these results.

We hope you find the report informative and always welcome your feedback.

1.3 2024 remuneration outcomes

Each year the board sets key performance objectives on the AMP scorecard aligned to key results areas. This includes clear objectives, metrics and targets for each objective. Outcomes awarded under AMP’s remuneration framework reflect both what is delivered in terms of measurable performance and how it is delivered including a risk overlay. Performance assessment explicitly considers not only the strategic priorities delivered but also the visible demonstration of AMP’s culture, purpose, values, and conduct expectations. Risk is integral to all aspects of the remuneration framework and the decision-making process regarding remuneration outcomes, as detailed in section 4.

1.4 Actual remuneration realised by executive KMP in 2024

Under AMP’s 2024 remuneration framework, executives are eligible to receive a combination of fixed remuneration, STI (delivered 60% in cash and 40% deferred in share rights, see Section 2.1) and LTI (delivered entirely in performance rights).

The table below details the actual remuneration received in 2024 for executives classified as KMP as of 31 December 2024, along with the market value of any equity vested during 2024 awarded in prior years, either as deferred STI and/or LTI.

This information differs from the statutory remuneration table which presents remuneration in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. Statutory disclosures can be found in Section 6.1.

1 Fixed remuneration (FR) includes superannuation and salary sacrificed benefits and reflects the time in role during 2024. 2 Cash STI paid during the relevant year is based on outcomes related to the applicable year’s performance and reflected for the relevant reporting period. Cash STI represents the 60% portion of the total 2024 STI awarded and due to be paid as cash in April 2025. The remaining 40% of the STI award is deferred as share rights which are granted in April 2025 and vesting in three tranches over three years.

3 As outlined in our 2022 Remuneration Report, the board withheld a portion of the 2022 cash STI, which was only to be released upon the commencement of the second tranche of the capital return. The second tranche of capital return commenced from April 2023, therefore this withheld amount was paid on April 2023 and is included in this column.

4 The value of vested equity awards is calculated based on the units which vested multiplied by the five-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) up to and including the vesting date of each award. The amounts disclosed includes the portion of Alexis George’s sign-on awards that vested during 2024, tranche 2 of the 2021 Deferred STI award, tranche 1 of the 2022 Deferred STI award and the 2019 Deferred STI award. 5 224,548 LTI equity awards vested during 2024.

6 Other benefits may include non-monetary benefits and any related FBT exempt and FBT payable benefits, excluding salary sacrificed benefits. For Blair Vernon, the 2023 amount includes a one-off relocation allowance and the provision of taxation advice and services as part of his relocation package in moving from New Zealand to Australia. The 2024 amount includes professional subscriptions, tax protection loan cost incurred and tax advice.

7 For Blair Vernon, the 2023 amounts disclosed reflect remuneration paid in line with his KMP start date of 3 July 2023.

2 Section Remuneration strategy and framework

2.1 Our remuneration framework and mix

The following diagrams present the remuneration framework for 2024 applicable to AMP’s Executive Committee, including the Executive KMP. It is supported by the remuneration governance, risk management and consequence management frameworks and is subject to the discretion of the AMP Board. Variable remuneration and deferrals are used to emphasise reward, balancing the retention and motivation of executives, whilst aligning to shareholder experience, long-term value creation and compliance with regulatory frameworks. Deferring variable reward ensures executives are aligned to shareholders’ interests and remain accountable (individually or collectively) over the long term, with the board having the ability to adjust past, present and future remuneration downwards through clawback and malus when appropriate (refer to sections 4.2 and 4.3 for further information).

Remuneration report

2.1 Our remuneration framework and mix continued

Remuneration mix at maximum opportunity

The remuneration mix for the CEO and Executive Committee members (excluding the CRO) at maximum opportunity delivers 75% of total remuneration as variable reward and ‘at risk’ remuneration. The CRO’s remuneration mix is different to the other Executive Committee members to ensure the independence of the role and mitigate against any conflicts of interest in performing the risk control function across the organisation. Emphasis is placed on variable remuneration to ensure alignment between pay, performance (including risk management) and the shareholder experience.

2.2 Remuneration framework in detail

Fixed remuneration and contracts

Purpose

Fixed remuneration (FR) includes base salary and superannuation. FR is determined based on the size of the role, the executive’s skill and experience and benchmarking (as described below) to ensure market competitive remuneration for attracting and retaining talent.

Market positioning and remuneration benchmarking group

The Remuneration Committee (the Committee) uses market data as part of the annual remuneration review process. Remuneration levels are benchmarked against a peer group that includes most companies from the ASX200 Financials (ex A-REITS). The Committee makes periodic adjustments to the benchmarking peer group to ensure it reflects the appropriate size, market capitalisation and other qualitative factors. In 2024, these adjustments excluded the big five banks, foreign organisations listed on the ASX, and organisations that do not directly compete in the same industry/sector as AMP, such as insurance companies. When setting remuneration levels, the Committee considers both internal and external relativities based on AMP’s positioning within the benchmarking group.

Fixed remuneration increases

The board annually reviews fixed remuneration for the CEO and other Executive Committee members. There were no fixed remuneration increases to Executive KMP in 2024. Increases to fixed remuneration in 2024 were made to other non-KMP members of the Executive Committee, to reflect fixed remuneration levels of similar roles in peer organisations and changes in scope of role. For 2025, there are no planned fixed remuneration increases for the CEO or Executive Committee members.

Contract terms

Contract terms CEO Executive KMP
Length of contract Open-ended Open-ended
Notice period Six months by AMP or by Alexis George Six months by AMP or the executive

Entitlements on termination

  • Accrued fixed pay, superannuation, and other statutory requirements.

  • Executives eligible for incentives may be awarded on a pro rata basis for the current period in the case of death, disablement, redundancy, retirement or notice without cause, subject to the original performance periods and hurdle.

  • Unvested rights will lapse if an executive resigns or is summarily dismissed before the vesting date. Should an executive cease employment for any other reason, any unvested rights will be retained and vest in the ordinary course, subject to the original terms and performance conditions, if applicable.

  • Vested rights will be retained but are subject to clawback, for example, in the case of serious misconduct.

  • In the case of redundancy, the AMP Redundancy Policy in place at the time will apply. This is the same policy that applies to all employees at AMP.

Restrictions on termination benefits

AMP will not make payments on termination that require shareholder approval or breach the Corporations Act.

Post-employment restraint

Six-month restraint on entering employment with a competitor and 12-month restraint on solicitation of AMP clients and employees.

outcome
STI outcomes are determined with reference to the holistic performance of AMP and the AMP
incentive pool, and Executive KMP individual performance and behaviours. The AMP incentive pool
is determined by the board based on:

A scorecard comprising financials, strategic, customer, reputation, and people priorities and
objectives that supports AMP’s risk management framework.

Other outcomes including shareholder value creation.

Behaviour in line with AMP’s purpose and values, conduct and risk appetite.
The board considers both the achievement of the risk metrics as well as a risk overview when
determining the incentive pool.

performance
For Executive KMP, the assessment of performance is based on AMP’s and their business unit
scorecards. This ensures an executive’s performance aligns to both company and their individual
business unit performance. Individual performance, conduct and demonstration of AMP’s values
are also considered when determining individual STI outcomes.
Delivery 60% of the STI is delivered as cash and 40% is deferred into equity.
Deferred STI is delivered as conditional share rights that represents the right to receive a fully-paid
ordinary AMP share for nil consideration subject to continued employment at the time of vesting,

principles
The board may, in its absolute discretion, adjust targets and/or outcomes upwards or downwards, to
ensure management is appropriately rewarded; for example, where an event occurs that means the
targets of the relevant scorecard objective are no longer appropriate. Situations where discretion to
adjust targets and/or outcomes can be applied include:
  • Factors not known or relevant at the beginning of the performance period which have a material impact on performance, such as

  • Material changes to the strategic business plan.

  • Material regulatory or legislative change.

  • Material changes in external market or natural disasters.

  • Significant out of plan business development such as acquisitions and divestments.

  • Material risk or conduct events that have impacted on shareholder experience, the reputation of the company or led to disciplinary action from our regulators (refer to section 4).

Where these events result in a materially different outcome to forecasts, adjustments should reflect the holistic contribution of employees/Executive KMP and exclude significant costs or gains that were unforeseen, were not in the ordinary course of business or were not the direct result of Executive KMP efforts.

Forfeiture (malus) The board has the authority to adjust and lapse unvested equity (including downward adjustments to zero) in various situations, such as protecting AMP’s financial soundness or responding to unexpected incidents or consequences of prior actions. Incidents may include material risk management breaches, unexpected financial losses, reputational damage, or regulatory non-compliance. Refer to section 4.3 for further information on how the board considers adjusting remuneration for material risk and conduct events.

Vesting/forfeiture If an executive is terminated for cause or gives notice of resignation to AMP before the vesting
conditions date, all unvested rights (or restricted shares) will lapse or be forfeited, unless the board determines
otherwise. In all other cases, unless the board determines otherwise:
A pro rata portion of the executive’s performance rights (calculated based on the portion of the
performance period that has elapsed up until the date of termination) will remain on foot to be
tested in the ordinary course.
All restricted shares allocated to the executive on vesting of the performance rights will remain
on foot until the end of the relevant restriction period for each respective tranche.
Retesting There is no retesting if the performance hurdle is not met.
Dividend No dividend is paid or payable on any unvested rights.

Clawback/malus The board retains the discretion to adjust upwards or downwards the vesting outcome, including to
take into account any risk or conduct events that are not in line with the board’s expectations, and
lapse the unvested portion of any LTI award, including to zero in line with the remuneration adjustment
guidelines outlined in section 4.3.

2.3 Executive minimum shareholding requirements

The relevant amount of AMP equity required to be held by the Executive KMP under minimum shareholding policy and the time to comply is as follows:

Category Fixed Pay Timeframe Securities included to meet requirements
CEO 200% Executive KMP are expected AMP Limited shares:ordinary AMP Limited
to achieve the minimum shares registered in the Executive KMP’s name
Executive KMP 100% shareholding requirement or a related party
within a five-year period from
commencement in their role
AMP share rights:granted to executives
through AMP’s employee share plans

Share rights allocated to Executive KMP are included to meet the minimum holding requirement only where future vesting is not subject to any further performance condition (other than a continued service condition). AMP Limited shares and/or share rights cannot be hedged. Executive KMP are not expected to purchase shares to meet the requirement. Rather, the expectation is that Executive KMP do not sell any shares held (other than to cover arising tax liabilities) and that vested shares and share rights are retained until the minimum requirement is reached.

3.2 2024 STI scorecard

AMP and executive performance is assessed by reference to the scorecard. Each key result area has specific objectives, metrics and targets that were set at the beginning of 2024. Achievements against these objectives were used by the board as one of the key inputs in determining the STI incentive pool.

business simplification spend, litigation and remediation related costs, tax wash-ups and the sale of the
Advice business. AMP’s decision to sell the Advice business is aligned to the AMP strategy and has been
positively received by shareholders and the market. The transaction resulted in a net $36m accounting loss

3.2 2024 STI scorecard continued

How the incentive pool was determined

The board acknowledges the performance resulted in a scorecard outcome of 102.8% while also acknowledging a scorecard set annually in advance must make assumptions about market conditions generally and across individual business units specifically that rarely align with what happens.

Given the strong performance of equity markets, subdued growth in the bank and overall remuneration outcomes, the board elected to exercise downward discretion in terms of STI. This in no way reflects upon the performance of executive management and employees, which has been excellent, but rather balances the remuneration outcomes to reflect matters that are largely within management control.

3.4 2022 Long-term Incentive update

Performance rights awarded under the 2022 Long Term Incentive (LTI) plan and allocated in May 2022, were subject to an RTSR performance condition measured over a three-year performance period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2024. Performance rights that meet the performance condition are subject to a restriction period from 1 January 2025, vesting on 15 February 2026. The number of performance rights that vest under the award was determined by the board by reference to a comparison of the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in AMP’s total shareholder return (TSR) relative to the CAGR in TSR to the peer group of S&P/ASX 100 financial companies excluding A-REITs as at 1 January 2022, in line with the vesting schedule below.

3.5 CEO sign-on award outcome

As previously disclosed to the market in April 2021, Alexis George was provided a sign-on equity award as a part of her appointment to the CEO role to compensate for remuneration foregone with her former employer. The equity awards granted as part of that arrangement were structured as follows:

  • Four tranches of share rights subject to a continued service condition.

  • Three tranches of performance rights subject to an absolute Total Shareholder Return (ATSR) condition, which required a compound annual growth in AMP’s TSR of 8.5% or greater for full vesting to occur. 50% of the award vests if AMP’s TSR is positive with pro-rata straight line vesting between 50% and 100%.

  • Three tranches of performance rights subject to a relative TSR (RTSR) condition, with 100% vesting if AMP is in the 75th percentile or higher of ASX100 Financials. 50% of the award vests if AMP is in the 50th percentile of the ASX100 Financials (excluding A-REITs), consistent with the 2021 LTI peer group, with pro-rata straight line vesting between 50% and 100%.

Further details of each tranche can be found in table 6.4.

Section Remuneration governance and risk management
4.1 AMP’s remuneration governance framework
----- End of picture text -----

There are a number of remuneration governance and oversight processes in place at AMP, primarily exercised through the AMP Limited Board, subsidiary boards and the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee assists the various boards to fulfil their remuneration obligations by developing, monitoring, and assessing remuneration strategy, policies and practices across AMP. Members of the Remuneration Committee are independent non-executive directors. More information on the role of the Remuneration Committee can be found in the corporate governance section of AMP’s website.

The board believes that to make prudent remuneration decisions, it needs both a robust framework and the ability to exercise judgement. Therefore, the board has adopted a remuneration adjustment framework to guide the board in determining appropriate remuneration outcomes. Refer to section 4.3 for further information on the remuneration adjustment guideline.

From time-to-time the Remuneration Committee may seek external guidance or benchmarking information from independent remuneration advisers. Any advice provided by external advisers is used as a guide and is not a substitute for consideration of all the issues by each non-executive director of the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee did not engage any independent remuneration advisers to provide remuneration recommendations, as defined in the Corporations Act.

The following diagram outlines AMP’s remuneration governance framework.

4.2 Risk management in remuneration

In addition to the robust risk features of the performance management framework, the board has a range of mechanisms available to adjust remuneration and incentive outcomes to reflect behavioural, risk or compliance outcomes. The table below summarises the range of mechanisms available and their intended operation.

The board exercises discretion to apply both positive or negative remuneration consequences to executives with accountability for matters arising in their business units, including those with adverse risk, customer and/or reputational impacts. There is a standing agenda item at each Remuneration Committee for the CRO to present any risk related information the Committee should consider when making remuneration decisions. This gives the Remuneration Committee an opportunity to make enquiries and have unfettered access to risk and internal audit executives. The Remuneration Committee considers both the achievement of the risk metrics as well as a risk overview when determining the incentive pool. Before every equity vesting event, management provides a report to the Committee to highlight if there is any known reason, including risk considerations, why the Committee should exercise its discretion to lapse the unvested equity award.

AMP has a Consequence Management Committee (CMC), which was established to ensure consistent management of workplace conduct matters and application of AMP’s Consequence Management policy. The CMC comprises the Chief Executive Officer, Chief People, Sustainability and Community Officer and Chief Risk Officer as standing members. Statistics and insights on all conduct cases across AMP Limited are reported to the Risk and Compliance Committee on a biannual basis, following review by the CMC. Matters are discussed at the Remuneration Committee that impact performance and remuneration recommendations and outcomes. Under the consequence management framework, all substantiated cases of misconduct require the application of a management and/or remuneration consequence. Where there is a recommendation from People, Sustainability and Community (and as endorsed by the CMC) to apply malus or clawback to past remuneration as a part of the recommended remuneration consequence, submissions are made to the Remuneration Committee to exercise its discretion to lapse the unvested equity award.

During the year, there was no application of the Consequence Management policy in relation to 2024 remuneration outcomes for any of AMP’s current executives.

4.3 Guidelines for adjusting remuneration

The board has adopted a remuneration adjustment framework to provide guidance in exercising discretion related to past, present and future remuneration and to provide greater consistency in the approach to remuneration adjustments. The framework is considered at each remuneration decision point to identify whether there has been any material conduct or risk events that have impacted on shareholder experience, the reputation of the company or led to disciplinary action from our regulators. The framework also enables positive adjustment for performance outcomes above expectation.

The guidelines assist the AMP Board in making potential upward or downward adjustments to variable remuneration yet are not intended to be used as a prescriptive or formulaic decision tree, as board judgement is applied according to the facts and circumstances of a particular situation. Whilst the framework is designed to deal with material risk and conduct events, the board can also exercise its judgement to apply positive adjustments where appropriate.

The following chart is an example of the types of qualitative and quantitative indicators the board may consider in exercising discretion in relation to material conduct and risk events and applying adjustments to variable remuneration. Note that overall organisational performance, managements performance, the shareholder experience, market factors, other inputs, and a risk overlay are key to conducting holistic assessment.

Considerations for adjusting remuneration

Is the remuneration outcome on an individual or cohort basis in line with the actual values and original intent?

Qualitative indicators
Customer and people
Has there been a potential breakdown of trust with AMP’s employees,
customers, fund beneficiaries or members of the community or

In reviewing these fees, the Committee considers a range of factors including AMP’s operations and those of its main subsidiaries, fees paid to board members of other Australian corporations of comparable size and complexity, and the responsibilities and workload requirements of each board and committee. The Committee obtains market data and recommends any proposed fee changes to the AMP Limited Board for approval.

A review of NED fees for the AMP Limited Board (which also included fees for all AMP Bank Board duties and obligations) was conducted in 2024. This included reference to a remuneration benchmark group of companies comparable to AMP and excluding the big four banks, foreign organisations listed on the ASX and organisations that do not directly compete in the same industry/ sector as AMP (e.g., insurance companies). Following a thorough market data analysis, the board concluded that the current fees are competitive with those of companies of equivalent size, complexity, and regulatory oversight. Given that total NED fees paid have reduced by more than 43% since 2019, it was deemed appropriate to maintain fees at slightly above the median of the financial services sector (excluding ANZ, CBA, Macquarie, NAB, Westpac and others), due to ongoing time demands on the boards of AMP Limited and AMP Bank Limited.

During 2024, the board met 16 times, and committees met an additional total of 21 times. The total remuneration earned by AMP Limited NEDs during 2024 (including all AMP Bank duties and obligations) was $2.145m, which represents 46.4% of the 2024 annual fee pool. The current members and role of each standing committee as at the date of this statement are set out in the corporate governance statement. The following table shows the annual NED fees for the board and permanent committees of AMP Limited and AMP Bank Limited for 2024.

1 The Chair of AMP Limited Board does not receive separate committee fees. Since being appointed as Chair, Mike Hirst is also Chair of the Nomination Committee and remains a member of the Board Remuneration and Risk and Compliance Committees.

2 No additional fees are paid to NEDs for their membership or for chairing the AMP Bank Limited Board.

5.2 Non-executive director minimum shareholding

The minimum shareholding requirement (MSR) for NEDs is set out in AMP’s minimum shareholding policy. Under this policy, NEDs are expected to accumulate and hold a minimum value of AMP shares to ensure their interests are aligned with the long-term interests of AMP shareholders. As at the date of this report, these minimum values are 100% of the AMP Limited base Chair fee for the Chair and 100% of the AMP Limited base NED fee for all other NEDs. NEDs are expected to achieve these levels within four years of their appointment. The policy expects NEDs to apply at least 25% of their base fee each year to acquire AMP shares until the MSR has been met. NEDs are also encouraged to increase their ownership over their tenure. Any such acquisition of AMP shares may only occur when permitted to do so in accordance with AMP’s trading policy. Opportunities for NEDs to acquire shares in accordance with AMP’s Trading Policy were limited between 2019 and 2022 due to ongoing transactions. As at the date of this report, all NEDs have either met their MSR or are on target to do so. See section 6.6 for details of securities held by NEDs as at 31 December 2024.

1 Cash salary is inclusive of base salary and short-term compensated absences, less superannuation deductions.

2 Cash STI reflects 60% of the STI award outcome for the 2024 performance year for Executive KMP.

3 Other short-term benefits include non-monetary benefits and any related FBT exempt benefits and FBT payable benefits, for example car parking, car leasing arrangements, taxation advice, professional memberships and subscriptions and the net change in annual leave accrued. For Blair Vernon, the 2023 amount includes a one-off relocation allowance and the cost of tax advice associated with his relocation from New Zealand to Australia.

4 The values in the table reflect the current year accounting expense for all share rights and performance rights outstanding at any point during the year, as required under the Australian Accounting Standards. The cost of the award is amortised at the fair value over the vesting period and updated at each reporting period for changes in the number of instruments expected to vest.

5 Other long-term benefits represent the net change in long service leave accrued.

6 The total in this table for 2023 of $7.442 million is different to the total for 2023 in the 2023 Remuneration Report as it does not include $367 thousand for Peter Fredricson, $270 thousand for James Georgeson and $1.367 million for Scott Hartley as reported in the 2023 Remuneration Report.

7 Blair Vernon was appointed to the CFO role on 3 July 2023 and the amounts disclosed for 2023 reflect the period as KMP. The 2023 fixed remuneration package reflects non-monetary benefits he forfeited upon relocating from New Zealand to Australia and compensates for the different taxation rates between the two tax jurisdictions.

  • 1 Relates to share rights awarded as part of the 2023 STI deferral on 1 April 2024, with fair values of $1.13 for Tranche 1, $1.08 for Tranche 2 and $1.04 for Tranche 3.

  • 2 A portion of share rights and performance rights granted to Alexis George as part of her sign-on award on 2 August 2021 vested and were exercised to AMP Limited shares on 22 November 2024 at a market price of $1.60 per share. For all executive KMP, Share Rights exercised included tranche 1 of the 2022 STI deferral that vested on 31 January 2024 at a market price of $0.94 per share. Additionally, for Alexis George, Blair Vernon and Sean O'Malley, Share Rights exercised included tranche 2 of the 2021 STI deferral that vested on 15 February 2024 at a market price of $1.06 per share. Lastly, for Blair Vernon, Shares Rights exercised also included the 2019 STI deferral that vested on 15 February 2024 at a market price of $1.06 per share.

  • 3 For Sean O'Malley, Shares exercised / released relates to 269,344 shares sold on market during 2024.

  • 4 There are no share rights held by any KMP’s related parties and no share rights held indirectly or beneficially by our KMP. As at 31 December 2024, there were no share rights vested, or vested and exercisable or vested and unexercisable. No amount is payable by the Executive KMP on grant, vesting or exercise of their share rights. Any share rights that vest following the end of the vesting period will be automatically exercised.

  • 5 We assess compliance with our minimum shareholding requirement (MSR) each year. The table above summarises the position of each Executive KMP as at 31 December 2024 against the requirement at the reporting date. The total value of each holding was calculated on 31 December 2024 using a closing price of $1.585.

  • 6 The opening balance for Blair Vernon's shareholding is 85,149 less than the closing balance reported in the 2023 Remuneration Report. This discrepancy is due to the incorrect attribution of 85,149 ordinary shares to Blair Vernon's holdings in 2023.

Looking forward to 2025

7.1 Changes to executive remuneration

As we change the shape of the business through simplification and strategic growth initiatives, we aim to ensure our remuneration framework remains appropriate. In 2024 we conducted an external market review to support the board, including a review of the sentiment expressed by investors through the 2024 AGM season. Based on this review, we concluded that the individual STI opportunity levels and the maximum quantum of variable remuneration may no longer align with AMP’s new operating scale and size. Consequently, the board decided to adjust AMP’s Executive remuneration framework in line with the market review, reducing the maximum STI opportunity for the CEO and Group Executives from 200% to 150% of fixed remuneration, effective 1 January 2025. For the Chief Risk Officer, the maximum opportunity reduces from 140% of fixed remuneration to 105%.

Key changes at a glance

Reduced maximum STI opportunity from 200% to 150% of fixed remuneration (FR) for the CEO and What Executive KMP (105% of FR for the CRO). Why To align with changes to AMP’s operating scale, investor expectations, and market developments.

Directors’ report

for the year ended 31 December 2024

Rounding

In accordance with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Corporations Instrument 2016/191, amounts in this directors’ report and the accompanying financial report have been rounded off to the nearest million Australian dollars, unless stated otherwise.

Non‑audit services

The Audit Committee has reviewed details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided to the AMP group during the year ended 31 December 2024, by the company’s auditor, EY.

The directors are satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services by the auditor is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 and did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • all non-audit assignments were approved by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), or his nominated delegate, or the Chair of the Audit Committee;

  • no non-audit assignments were carried out which were specifically excluded by the AMP Charter of Audit Independence; and

  • the proportion of non-audit fees to audit fees paid to EY, as disclosed in note 6.5 to the financial report is not considered significant enough to compromise EY’s independence or cause a perception of compromise.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

Notes to the financial statements

for the year ended 31 December 2024

About this report

This section outlines the structure of the AMP group, information useful to understand the AMP group’s financial report and the basis on which the financial report has been prepared.

(a) Understanding the AMP financial report

The AMP group (AMP) is comprised of AMP Limited (the parent), a holding company incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and the entities it controls (subsidiaries or controlled entities). The consolidated financial statements of AMP Limited include the financial information of its controlled entities and investments in associates.

The consolidated financial report:

  • is a general purpose financial report;

  • has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board;

  • is presented in Australian dollars, which is AMP's functional and presentation currency, with all values rounded to the nearest million dollars ($m), unless otherwise stated;

  • has been prepared on a going concern basis generally using a historical cost basis; however where permitted under accounting standards, a different basis may be used, including the fair value basis;

  • presents assets and liabilities on the face of the Consolidated statement of financial position in decreasing order of liquidity and therefore does not distinguish between current and non-current items;

  • presents reclassified comparative information where required for consistency with the current year’s presentation within the financial report, including re-presented comparative information to reflect the impact of discontinued operations as detailed in note 5.2.

AMP Limited is a for-profit entity and is limited by shares. The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 were authorised for issue on 14 February 2025 in accordance with a resolution of the directors.

Partnership for Advice business

On 2 December 2024, AMP announced the completion of the Partnership for Advice business creating a partnership and ownership structure with Entireti Limited (Entireti) and AZ Next Generation Advisory Limited (AZ NGA) for the AMP Advice business, which had previously been announced on 8 August 2024. Entireti acquired AMP’s financial advice licensees: Charter Financial Planning Limited, Hillross Financial Services Limited, AMP Financial Planning Pty Limited, as well as its selflicensed offer Jigsaw Support Services Pty Limited for $10.2m. AMP retains a minority interest of 30% in a new entity (Mutual Advice Partners Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Entireti) holding these four businesses. AZ NGA acquired AMP's equity holdings in 16 financial advice practices for $82.5m. The results of the Advice business has been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated income statement (refer to note 5.2).

(b) Basis of consolidation

Entities are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the AMP group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that control ceases. Control exists where the AMP group is exposed, 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.

Income, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows of controlled entities are consolidated into the AMP group financial statements, along with those attributable to the shareholders of the parent entity. All inter-company transactions are eliminated in full, including unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions.

Materiality

Information has been included in the financial report to the extent that it has been considered material and relevant to the understanding of the financial statements. A disclosure is considered material and relevant if, for example:

  • the amount in question is significant because of its size or nature;

  • it is important for understanding the results of the AMP group;

  • it helps explain the impact of significant changes to the AMP group; and/or

  • it relates to an aspect of the AMP group’s operations that is important to its future performance.

81

(c) Material accounting policies

The material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are contained in the notes to the financial statements to which they relate. All accounting policies have been consistently applied to the current year and comparative period, unless otherwise stated. Where an accounting policy relates to more than one note or where no note is provided, the accounting policies are set out below.

Interest income and interest expense and distribution income

Interest income and interest expense on financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are recognised in the Consolidated income statement using the effective interest method. Revenue from distributions is recognised when the AMP group’s right to receive payment is established.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Australian dollars (the functional currency) using the following applicable exchange rates:

Foreign currency amount Applicable exchange rate
Transactions Date of transaction
Monetary assets and liabilities Reporting date
Non-monetaryassets and liabilities carried at fair value Date fair value is determined

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign exchange transactions are recognised in the Consolidated income statement, except for qualifying cash flow hedges and hedges of net investments in foreign operations, which are deferred to equity.

On consolidation the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the following applicable exchange rates:


the following applicable exchange rates:
Foreign currency amount Applicable exchange rate
Income and expenses Average exchange rate
Assets and liabilities Reporting date
Equity Historical date
Reserves Reportingdate

Foreign exchange differences resulting from translation of foreign operations are initially recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and subsequently transferred to the Consolidated income statement on disposal of the foreign operation.

(d) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about future events. Information on critical judgements and estimates considered when applying the accounting policies can be found in the following notes:

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

Revenue from contracts with customers

For AMP, revenue from contracts with customers arises primarily from the provision of investment management and financial advisory services. Revenue is recognised when control of services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration which AMP is entitled to in exchange for the services provided. As the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the service is provided, control is transferred over time. Accordingly, revenue is recognised over time.

Fee rebates provided to customers are recognised as a reduction in fee revenue.

Investment management and related fees

Fees are charged to customers in connection with the provision of investment management and other related services. These performance obligations are satisfied on an ongoing basis, usually daily, and revenue is recognised as the service is provided.

Financial advisory fees

Financial advisory fees primarily consist of fee-for-service revenue which is earned for providing customers with financial advice and performing related advisory services. These performance obligations are satisfied over time. Accordingly, revenue is recognised over time.

Our taxes

This sub-section outlines the impact of income taxes on the results and financial position of AMP. In particular:

  • the impact of tax on the reported result;

  • amounts owed to/receivable from the tax authorities; and

  • deferred tax balances that arise due to differences in the tax and accounting treatment of balances recorded in the financial report.

These financial statements include the disclosures relating to tax required under accounting standards. Further information on AMP’s tax matters can be found in the AMP Tax Report at amp.com.au/shares.

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

Income tax expense

Income tax expense is the tax payable on taxable income for the current period based on the income tax rate for each jurisdiction and adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. These changes are attributable to:

  • temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their Consolidated statement of financial position carrying amounts;

  • unused tax losses; and

  • the impact of changes in the amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from changes in tax rates or in the manner in which these balances are expected to be realised.

Adjustments to income tax expense are also made for any differences between the amounts paid, or expected to be paid, in relation to prior periods and the amounts provided for these periods at the start of the current period.

Any tax impact on income and expense items that are recognised directly in equity is also recognised directly in equity.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences and are measured at the tax rates which are expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted to present value.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Tax consolidation

AMP Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities are part of a tax-consolidated group, with AMP Limited being the head entity (the company). A tax funding agreement has been entered into by the head entity and the controlled entities in the tax-consolidated group and requires entities to fully compensate the company for current tax liabilities and to be fully compensated by the company for any current or deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses arising from external transactions occurring after 30 June 2003, the implementation date of the tax-consolidated group.

Global minimum top-up tax

In 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released Global Anti-Base Erosion (GLoBE) Model rules (Pillar Two) which introduced new ‘top-up’ taxing mechanisms for multinational enterprises (MNEs) that are within the scope of the rules. Under these rules, MNEs will be liable to pay a top-up tax reflecting the difference between their GLoBE effective tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum tax rate.

During 2024, the Australian equivalent Pillar Two legislation was enacted by the Federal Government which is effective for the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2024. Certain other jurisdictions in which the Group has presence have not enacted or substantively enacted equivalent rules. The Group has subsidiaries in New Zealand and Luxembourg where Pillar Two has been enacted into domestic law. Pillar Two legislation in New Zealand was not effective at the reporting date. On current assessment, the Group does not expect any liability to Pillar Two top-up tax to arise. This assessment is based on the transitional safe harbour rules applying. The temporary exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in respect of Pillar Two is adopted at 31 December 2024 as required by amendments to IAS 12 / AASB 112 Income Taxes issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) respectively.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The AMP group is subject to taxes in Australia and other jurisdictions where it has operations. The application of tax law to the specific circumstances and transactions of the AMP group requires the exercise of judgment by management. The tax treatments adopted by management in preparing the financial statements may be impacted by changes in legislation and interpretations or be subject to challenge by tax authorities.

Judgment is also applied by management in setting assumptions used to forecast future profitability in order to determine the extent to which the recovery of carried forward tax losses and deductible temporary differences are probable for the purpose of meeting the criteria for recognition as deferred tax assets (DTAs). Future profitability may differ from forecasts which could impact management’s expectations in future periods with respect to the recoverability of DTAs and result in DTA impairments or reversals of prior DTA impairments.

Dividend franking credits

Franking credits available to shareholders are $47m (2023: $58m), based on a tax rate of 30%. This amount is calculated from the balance of the franking account as at the end of the reporting period.

AMP Limited's ability to utilise the franking account credits depends on meeting Corporations Act 2001 requirements to declare dividends. The impact of the proposed dividend will be to reduce the balance of franking credit account by $2m.

Franked dividends are franked at a tax rate of 30%.

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

Financial assets measured at amortised cost – loans and advances and debt securities

Loans and advances and debt securities are measured at amortised cost when both of the following conditions are met:

  • the financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets measured at amortised cost are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset. These assets are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

Loans and advances are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when AMP Bank provides money directly to a customer, including loans and advances to advisers, and with no intention of trading the financial asset. Loans and advances are initially recognised at fair value, including direct and incremental transaction costs relating to loan origination. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment.

93

2.1 Loans and advances continued

Impairment of financial assets

An allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) is recognised for financial assets measured at amortised cost, debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and loan commitments. ECLs are probability weighted estimates of credit losses and are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial instrument. The key elements in the measurement of ECLs are as follows:

  • PD – the probability of default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon.

  • EAD – the exposure at default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in the exposure after the reporting date.

  • LGD – loss given default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between cash flows due to the group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the group expects to receive, including from the realisation of any collateral.

The group estimates these elements using appropriate credit risk models taking into consideration a number of factors, including the internal and external credit ratings of the assets, nature and value of collateral and forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios.

The group applies a three-stage approach to measure the ECLs as follows:

Stage 1 (12-month ECL)

The group collectively assesses and recognises a provision at an amount equal to 12-month ECL when financial assets are current and/or have had a good performance history and are of low credit risk. It includes financial assets where the credit risk has improved and the financial assets have been reclassified from Stage 2 or even Stage 3 based on improved performance observed over a predefined period of time. A financial asset is considered to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘investment grade’.

Stage 2 (Lifetime ECL – not credit impaired)

The group collectively assesses and recognises a provision at an amount equal to lifetime ECL on financial assets where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but the financial assets are not credit impaired.

The quantitative criteria used to determine a significant increase in credit risk is a series of relative and absolute thresholds. Financial assets that were 30 days past due at least once over the last six months are deemed to have significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. For loans and advances, other risk factors like hardship, loan to value ratio (LVR) and loan to income ratio (LTI) are also considered in order to determine a significant increase in credit risk.

Stage 3 (Lifetime ECL – credit impaired)

The group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL on financial assets that are determined to be credit impaired based on objective evidence of impairment. Financial assets are classified as impaired when payment is 90 days past due or when there is no longer reasonable assurance that principal or interest will be collected in their entirety on a timely basis.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Impairment of financial assets

The impairment provisions (individual and collective) are outputs of ECL models with a number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting estimates and judgements include:

  • the AMP group’s internal credit risk grading which assigns PDs to the individual credit rating grades;

  • the AMP group’s estimates of LGDs arising in the event of default;

  • the AMP group’s criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk;

  • development of ECL models, including the various formulas, choice of inputs and assumptions; and

  • determination of associations between macroeconomic scenarios and their probability weightings, to derive the economic inputs into the ECL models.

  • Management overlay has been applied to best estimate where required.

Future outcomes and macro-economic conditions which differ from management’s assumptions and estimates could result in changes to the timing and amount of credit losses to be recognised.

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

Recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at the date the AMP group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, financial assets are classified as subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), or amortised cost. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the group’s business model for managing them.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or are transferred. A transfer occurs when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are passed to an unrelated third party. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets measured on initial recognition as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, determined as the purchase cost of the asset, exclusive of any transaction costs. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred in profit or loss. Any realised and unrealised gains or losses arising from subsequent measurement at fair value are recognised in the Consolidated income statement in the period in which they arise.

95

2.2 Investments in other financial assets and liabilities continued

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss – debt securities

Debt securities can be irrevocably designated, at initial recognition, as measured at fair value through profit or loss where doing so would eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency or otherwise results in more relevant information. Fair value on initial recognition is determined as the purchase cost of the asset, exclusive of any transaction costs. Transactions costs are expensed as incurred in profit or loss. Subsequent measurement is determined with reference to the bid price at the reporting date. Any realised and unrealised gains or losses arising from subsequent measurement at fair value are recognised in the Consolidated income statement in the period in which they arise.

Financial assets measured at fair value through OCI – debt securities

Debt securities are measured at fair value through OCI when both of the following conditions are met:

  • the instrument is held within a business model, the objective of which is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Fair value through OCI instruments are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising due to changes in fair value recognised in OCI. Interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in profit or loss in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortised cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognised in OCI. The accumulated gains or losses recognised in OCI are recycled to profit and loss upon derecognition of the assets.

The group classifies debt securities held by AMP Bank under this category.

Financial assets measured at amortised cost – debt securities

Refer to note 2.1 for details.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value

Where available, quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments are used to determine fair value. Where there is no market price available for an instrument, a valuation technique is used. Management applies judgement in selecting valuation techniques and setting valuation assumptions and inputs. Further detail on the determination of fair value of financial instruments is set out in note 2.7.

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is recognised at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The cost represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Capitalised costs

Costs are capitalised when the costs relate to the creation of an asset with expected future economic benefits which are capable of reliable measurement. Capitalised costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, commencing at the time the asset is first put into use or held ready for use, whichever is the earlier.

Distribution networks

Distribution networks such as customer lists, financial planner client servicing rights or other distribution-related rights, either acquired separately or through a business combination, are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at cost less amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

97

2.3 Intangibles continued

Amortisation

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the intangible asset. The estimated useful lives are generally:

Item Useful life
Capitalised costs Up to 10 years
Distribution networks 2 to 15years

The useful life of each intangible asset is reviewed at the end of the period and, where necessary, adjusted to reflect current assessments.

Impairment testing

Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment. Other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units or CGUs). An impairment loss is recognised when the CGU’s carrying amount exceeds the CGU’s recoverable amount. When applicable, an impairment loss is first allocated to goodwill and any remainder is then allocated to the other assets on a pro-rata basis.

Composition of goodwill

The goodwill of $88m (2023: $88m) relates to the NZWM CGU. The annual impairment assessment for NZWM resulted in significant headroom and there was no reasonably possible change to a key assumption used in the assessment that would result in an impairment as at 31 December 2024.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Management applies judgment in selecting valuation techniques and setting valuation assumptions to determine the:

  • acquisition date fair value and estimated useful life of acquired intangible assets;

  • allocation of goodwill to CGUs and determining the recoverable amount of the CGUs; and

  • assessment of whether there are any impairment indicators for acquired intangibles and internally generated intangibles, where required, in determining the recoverable amount.

Receivables

Trade debtors, client register, sublease, collateral and other receivables are measured at amortised cost, less an allowance for ECLs. Investment related receivables are financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs for receivables. Therefore, the group does not track changes in credit risk but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

1 In 2024, the group updated its treatment of trail commission payable to mortgage brokers to recognise a liability representing the present value of expected future trail commission payments and a corresponding increase in capitalised brokerage costs within Loans and advances. Trade creditors and other payables includes trail commissions payable of $74m.

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

Payables

Payables are measured at the nominal amount payable. Given the short-term nature of most payables, the nominal amount payable approximates fair value.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Trail commission payable – the measurement of trail commission liabilities is dependent on assumptions about the behavioural life and future outstanding balances of the underlying transactions. A provision for trail commissions is only recognised to the extent that the group can reliably estimate the future cash flows arising from a past event.

2.7 Fair value information continued

AMP’s methodology and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments are described below:

Equity securities The fair value of equity securities is established using valuation techniques, including the use
of recent arm’s length transactions, references to other instruments that are substantially the
same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.
Debt securities The fair value of listed debt securities reflects the bid price at the reporting date. Listed
debt securities that are not frequently traded are valued by discounting estimated
recoverable amounts.
The fair value of unlisted debt securities is estimated using interest rate yields obtainable
on comparable listed investments. For debt securities with a maturity of less than 12 months,
par value is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.
Loans The estimated fair value of loans represents the discounted amount of estimated future cash
flows expected to be received, based on the maturity profile of the loans. As the loans are
unlisted, the discount rates applied are based on the yield curve appropriate to the remaining
term of the loans. The loans may, from time to time, be measured at an amount in excess of fair
value due to fluctuations on fixed rate loans. In these situations, as the fluctuations in fair value
would not represent a permanent diminution and the carrying amounts of the loans are recorded
at recoverable amounts after assessing impairment, it would not be appropriate to restate their
carrying amounts.
Unlisted managed The fair value of investments in unlisted managed investment schemes is determined on the basis
investment schemes of redemption price, and independent external valuation of those managed investment schemes
as appropriate at the reporting date.
Derivative financial The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded
assets and liabilities derivatives) is based on quoted market prices (current bid price or current offer price)
at the reporting date. The fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market
(eg over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques
include net present value techniques, option pricing models, discounted cash flow methods and
comparison to quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments. The models use
a number of inputs, including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and
forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies, currency basis spreads between the
respective currencies, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the underlying instruments.
Some derivatives contracts are significantly cash collateralised, thereby minimising both
counterparty risk and the group’s own non-performance risk.
Corporate Borrowings comprise commercial paper, drawn liquidity facilities, various floating-rate and
borrowings medium-term notes and subordinated debt. The estimated fair value of borrowings is determined
with reference to quoted market prices. For borrowings where quoted market prices are not
available, a discounted cash flow model is used, based on a current yield curve appropriate
for the remaining term to maturity. For short-term borrowings, the par value is considered
a reasonable approximation of the fair value.
AMP Bank The estimated fair value of deposits and other borrowings represents the discounted amount
deposits and other of estimated future cash flows expected to be paid based on the residual maturity of these
borrowings liabilities. The discount rate applied is based on a current yield curve appropriate for similar
types of deposits and borrowings at the reporting date.
Guarantee The fair value of the guarantee liabilities is determined as the net present value of future cash
liabilities flows discounted using market rates. The future cash flows are determined using risk neutral
stochastic projections based on assumptions such as mortality rate, lapse rate and asset class
allocation/correlation. The future cash flows comprise expected guarantee claims and hedging
expenses net of expected fee revenue.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorised using the fair value hierarchy which reflects the significance of inputs into the determination of fair value as follows:

  • Level 1: the fair value is valued by reference to quoted prices and active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  • Level 2: the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

  • Level 3: the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

2.7 Fair value information continued

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

There have been no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the 2024 financial year. Transfers to and from Level 3 are shown in the Reconciliation of Level 3 values table later in this note.

Capital structure and financial risk management

This section provides information relating to:

  • the AMP group’s capital management, equity and debt structure; and

  • exposure to financial risks – how the risks affect financial position and performance and how the risks are managed, including the use of derivative financial instruments.

The capital structure of the AMP group consists of equity and debt. AMP determines the appropriate capital structure in order to finance the current and future activities of the AMP group and satisfy the requirements of the regulator. The directors review the group’s capital structure and dividend policy regularly and do so in the context of the group’s ability to satisfy capital requirements.

  • 6 The classification of AMP Bank and corporate borrowings as current or non-current is based on the maturity of the underlying debt instruments, interest payable, and related principal repayment obligations, which are expected to be settled within the next 12 months.

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

Interest-bearing liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

It is AMP’s policy to hedge currency and interest rate risk arising on issued notes and subordinated debt. When fair value hedge accounting is applied, the carrying amounts of borrowings and subordinated debt are adjusted for changes in fair value related to the hedged risk for the period that the hedge relationship remains effective. Any changes in fair value for the period are recognised in the Consolidated income statement. In cash flow hedge relationships, the borrowings are not revalued.

Finance costs include:

  • (i) borrowing costs:

  • interest on bank overdrafts, borrowings and subordinated debt;

  • amortisation of discounts or premiums related to borrowings;

  • (ii) exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs; and

  • (iii) changes in the fair value of derivative hedges together with any change in the fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, foreign exchange gains and losses and other financing-related amounts. Changes in the fair value of derivatives in effective cash flow hedges are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve. The accounting policy for derivatives is set out in note 3.4.

Finance costs are recognised as expenses when incurred.

3.3 Financial risk management

Financial risk arises from the holding of financial instruments and financial risk management activities, and is an integral part of the AMP group’s enterprise risk management framework. The AMP Limited Board has overall responsibility for the AMP group’s enterprise risk management framework, including the approval of AMP’s strategic plan, risk management strategy and risk appetite.

This note discloses financial risk in accordance with the categories in AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures :

  • market risk;

  • liquidity and refinancing risk; and

  • credit risk.

These risks are managed in accordance with the board-approved risk appetite statement and the individual policies for each risk category.

(a) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of assets and liabilities, or future cash flows of a financial instrument, will fluctuate due to movements in financial markets, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, property prices, credit spreads, commodity prices and other financial market variables.

The following table provides information on significant market risk exposures for the AMP group, which could lead to an impact on the AMP group’s profit after tax and shareholders’ equity position, and the management of those exposures.

margin between yield curves
and the changes in actual or
expected levels of inflation.
The AMP group’s long-term

Treasury) manages the exposure in AMP
Bank by maintaining a net interest rate risk
position within the limits delegated and
approved by the AMP Bank Board.

The AMP group periodically reviews exposures
to interest rates arising from defined benefit
plan exposures, and considers the use
of derivatives in managing these exposures.
No derivatives were employed to manage
exposures to interest rates during the year

Sensitivity analysis

The table below includes sensitivity analysis showing how the profit after tax and equity would have been impacted by changes in market risk variables. The analysis:

  • shows the direct impact of a reasonably possible change in market rates and is not intended to illustrate a remote, worst case stress test scenario;

  • assumes that all underlying exposures and related hedges are included and the change in variable occurs at the reporting date; and

  • does not include the impact of any mitigating management actions over the period to the subsequent reporting date.

The categories of risks faced and methods used for deriving sensitivity information did not change from previous years.

Wholesale credit risk exposures arising from
investments made in relation to the management
of liquidity within AMP Bank (and related activities,

Group Treasury in accordance with the AMP Bank
Wholesale Counterparty Credit Risk Policy. This policy
is reviewed and endorsed by the AMP Bank ALCO and
approved by the AMP Bank Limited Board. Specific
detail relating to the credit risk management of the
AMP Bank loan portfolio is outlined below.

The AMP Group Large Exposures & Credit Concentration Risk Standard sets out the assessment and determination of what constitutes credit concentration risk. The policy sets exposure limits based on each counterparty’s credit rating (unless special considerations are defined). Additional limits are set for the distribution of the total portfolio by credit rating bands. Compliance with this policy is monitored and exposures and breaches are reported to senior management and the AMP Board Risk Committee through periodic financial risk management reports.

Group Treasury may also enter into credit default swaps to hedge concentration risk against material exposures.

The exposures on interest-bearing securities and cash equivalents which impact AMP’s capital position are managed by Group Treasury within limits set by the AMP Group Wholesale Counterparty Credit Risk Policy.

Impairment assessment

Definition of default

AMP Bank considers a financial asset defaulted and hence Stage 3 impaired when payment is 90 days past due or when there is no longer reasonable assurance that principal or interest will be collected in their entirety on a timely basis.

AMP Bank’s internal risk grading and PD estimation process

AMP Bank’s credit risk management department runs expected credit loss models for the residential mortgage book as well as the business finance loans. The Bank’s residential mortgage book is a portfolio with a low number of defaults. In recent times, the Bank’s residential mortgage book has grown significantly, and a larger history of default data has been captured. This has enabled the Bank to successfully develop its internal behavioural scorecards which have been used to replace the benchmark PDs to better stratify the portfolio by credit risk worthiness.

Internal risk grades for the residential mortgage book are as follows:

Internal credit rating grade Internal credit rating grade description
Performing Not in arrears in the past six months
Past due but not impaired Accounts in arrears but have not been past 90 days in the last six months
Impaired 90 dayspast due over the last six months

For business finance loans a probability of default risk grade model is applied that includes weighted risk factors such as interest coverage ratio, revenue growth, licence compliance rating, experience in business and arrears levels. Practices on watch-list are also downgraded. Credit judgement may be applied to arrive at the final risk grade.

(c) Credit risk continued

Internal risk grades for business finance loans are as follows:

Internal risk grade Internal risk grade description Broadly corresponds with Standard & Poor ratings of
A to H Sub-investment grade BB+ to CCC
I Impaired D

AMP Bank’s interbank and financial institutions exposures, as well as exposures to interest-bearing securities, are based on the external credit rating of the counterparties as follows:

Internal risk grade description Broadly corresponds with Standard & Poor ratings of
Senior investment grade AAA to A-
Investment grade BBB+ to BBB-
Sub-investmentgrade BB+ upto but not includingdefaulted or impaired

Exposure at default (EAD)

EAD is modelled by applying assumptions in relation to the amortisation of the loans based on scheduled principal and interest repayments, except for Stage 3 loans.

Loss given default (LGD)

For the residential mortgage portfolio, the key driver for the LGD calculation is the value of the underlying property since, in a foreclosure scenario, the proceeds from the sale of a property are secured by AMP Bank to repay the loan. The value of the underlying residential property is captured via the LVR, which applies both the changes in loan balance and estimated value of the collateral using market data and indices. Both floor and haircuts are applied to provide for model risk.

For business finance loans, the LGD is calculated via assumptions to the reduction in valuations of security values (being a multiple of their recurring cash flows) in the event of default, such as client run-off or deterioration in valuation due to compliance issues. In addition, haircuts are applied to capture the volatility observed in the register values in the event of default but also general volatility in valuations over time.

Grouping of financial assets for expected credit losses (ECL) calculation

AMP Bank calculates ECL on an individual basis on all Stage 3 assets, and interbank and debt securities measured at FVOCI. For all other asset classes ECL is calculated on a collective basis, taking into account risk factors for each loan to calculate the ECL estimate and then aggregating the estimated number for each relevant portfolio.

Forward-looking information

AMP Bank’s ECL model incorporates a number of forward-looking macroeconomic factors (MEF) that are reviewed on a quarterly basis and approved by the Credit Risk Committee (CRC). The MEF include unemployment, property prices, ASX All Ordinaries index and Reserve Bank of Australia cash rate.

At least three different scenarios with fixed weightings are used in the model. The weightings are reviewed on an annual basis. The ECL is calculated as the probability weighted average of the provision calculated for each economic scenario.

Management overlay

Management overlay is required to mitigate model risk and any systemic risk that is not recognised by the model.

The management overlays are reviewed on an annual basis or more frequently if required and presented to the CRC and Board Audit Committee (BAC) for endorsement.

Write-offs

Financial assets are written off either partially or in their entirety only when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Recovery actions can cease if they are determined as being no longer cost effective or in some situations where the customers have filed for bankruptcy.

Credit risk of the loan portfolio in AMP Bank

AMP Bank is predominantly a lender for residential properties for both owner occupied and investment purposes. In relation to each loan application, AMP Bank completes a credit assessment, including cost of living expense assessment, and requires valuation of the proposed security property.

AMP Bank’s CRC and Board Risk Committee (BRC) oversee trends in lending exposures and compliance with the risk appetite statement. AMP Bank secures its housing loans with mortgages over relevant properties and as a result, manages credit risk on its loans with conservative lending policies and particular focus on the LVR. The LVR is calculated by dividing the total loan amount outstanding by the lower of AMP Bank’s approved valuation amount or the purchase price. Loans with LVR greater than 80% are fully mortgage insured. Mortgage insurance is provided by Helia Insurance Pty Limited (formerly Genworth

Renegotiated loans

Where possible, AMP Bank seeks to renegotiate loans for borrowers seeking hardship relief rather than take possession of collateral. This may involve capitalising interest repayments for a period and increasing the repayment arrangement for the remaining term of the loan. Once the terms have been renegotiated, the loan is no longer considered past due or an impaired asset unless it was greater than 90 days in arrears in the previous six months or a specific provision has been raised for the loan. As at 31 December 2024, AMP Bank had assisted customers by renegotiating loans of $174m (2023: $155m).

Collateral and master netting or similar agreements

The AMP group obtains collateral and utilises netting agreements to mitigate credit risk exposures from certain counterparties.

(i) Derivative financial assets and liabilities The credit risk of derivatives is managed in the context of the AMP group’s overall credit risk policies and includes the use of Credit Support Annexes to derivative agreements which facilitate the bilateral posting of collateral as well as the clearing of derivative positions on the London Clearing House.

Certain derivative assets and liabilities are subject to legally enforceable master netting arrangements, such as an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreement. In certain circumstances, for example when a credit event such as a default occurs, all outstanding transactions under an ISDA agreement are terminated, the termination value is assessed and only a single net amount is payable in settlement of all transactions.

An ISDA agreement does not automatically meet the criteria for offsetting in the Consolidated statement of financial position. This is because the AMP group, in most cases, does not have any current legally enforceable right to offset recognised amounts.

If these netting arrangements were applied to the derivative portfolio, the derivative assets of $97m would be reduced by $14m to the net amount of $83m and derivative liabilities of $141m would be reduced by $29m to the net amount of $112m (2023: derivative assets of $323m would be reduced by $35m to the net amount of $288m and derivative liabilities of $116m would not be reduced).

(ii) Other collateral

The AMP group has collateral arrangements in place with some counterparties in addition to collateral deposits held with respect to repurchase agreements. The amount and type of collateral required by AMP Bank on housing loans depends on an assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. Guidelines are in place covering the acceptability and valuation of each type of collateral.

AMP Bank holds collateral against its loans and advances primarily in the form of mortgage interests over property, other registered securities over assets and guarantees.

Management monitors the market value of collateral and may request additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement. In the event of customer default, AMP Bank can enforce any security held as collateral against the outstanding claim. Any loan security is usually held as mortgagee in possession while AMP Bank seeks to realise its value through the sale of the property. Therefore, AMP Bank does not hold any real estate or other assets acquired through the repossession of collateral.

Collateral generally consists of 11am loans and deposits and is exchanged between the counterparties to reduce the exposure from the net fair value of derivative assets and liabilities between the counterparties. As at 31 December 2024, there was $20m (2023: $63m) of collateral deposits (due to other counterparties) and $49m (2023: $43m) of collateral loans (due from other counterparties) relating to derivative assets and liabilities.

113

3.4 Derivatives and hedge accounting

The group is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. To mitigate the risks, the group uses derivative financial instruments, such as cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps. When the group designates certain derivatives to be part of a hedging relationship, and they meet the criteria for hedge accounting, the hedges are classified as:

  • cash flow hedges;

  • fair value hedges; or

  • net investment hedges.

Derivative financial instruments are held for risk and asset management purposes only and not for the purpose of speculation. Not all derivatives held are designated as hedging instruments. The group’s risk management strategy and how it is applied to manage risk is explained further in note 3.3.

The following table sets out the notional amount of derivative instruments designated in a hedge relationship by relationship type as well as the related carrying amounts.

3.4 Derivatives and hedge accounting continued

Fair value hedge relationships resulted in the following changes in the values used to recognise hedge ineffectiveness for the year:

2024 2023
$m $m
Loss on hedging instrument (26) (4)
Gain on hedged items attributable to the hedged risk 26 5
Gain after ineffectiveness 1

Derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges

The group is exposed to variability in future interest cash flows on non-trading assets and liabilities which bear interest at fixed and variable rates. The group uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risks and many of the swaps are cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

Methods used to test hedge effectiveness and establish the hedge ratio include regression analysis and for some portfolio hedge relationships, a comparison to ensure the expected interest cash flows from the portfolio exceed those of the hedging instruments. The main potential source of hedge ineffectiveness from cash flow hedges is mismatches in the terms of hedged items and hedging instruments, for example the frequency and timing of when interest rates are reset.

During the year, the AMP group recognised $nil (2023: $nil) due to ineffectiveness on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.

Derivative instruments accounted for as fair value hedges

Fair value hedges are used to protect against changes in the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities due to movements in exchange rates and interest rates.

Hedge effectiveness is assessed by comparing the overall changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument against the changes in the fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks. The main potential source of ineffectiveness on fair value hedges is currency basis spread, which is included in the valuation of the hedging instrument but excluded from the value of the hedged item.

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations

The group hedges its exposure to changes in exchange rates on the value of its foreign currency denominated partnerships. Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on the overall changes in the fair value of the forward contract, primarily using the cumulative dollar offset method.

During the year, the AMP group recognised $nil (2023: $nil) due to the ineffective portion of hedges relating to investments in foreign operations.

The following table sets out the maturity profile of derivative instruments in a hedge relationship.

3.4 Derivatives and hedge accounting continued

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value exclusive of any transaction costs on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. Derivatives are recognised as assets when their fair values are positive and as liabilities when their fair values are negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of derivatives, except those that qualify as effective hedges, are immediately recognised in the Consolidated income statement.

Hedge accounting

AMP continues to apply the hedge accounting requirements under AASB 139 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement .

Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges is recognised (including related tax impacts) in Other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Consolidated income statement. The balance of the cash flow hedge reserve in relation to each particular hedge is transferred to the Consolidated income statement in the period when the hedged item affects profit or loss. Hedge accounting is discontinued when a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the Consolidated income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the Consolidated income statement.

Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of fair value hedges are recognised in the Consolidated income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. If a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gains and losses recognised on the hedged item will be amortised over the remaining life of the hedged item.

Net investment hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of net investment hedges is recognised (including related tax impacts) in Other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Consolidated income statement. The cumulative gain or loss existing in equity remains in equity until the foreign investment is disposed of.

116

Notes to the financial statements

3.5 Capital management

AMP’s capital management strategy is to optimise shareholder value by managing the level, mix and use of capital resources. The primary objective is to ensure that there are sufficient capital resources to maintain and grow the business and maintain AMP’s credit rating, in accordance with the Group’s risk appetite.

The Group operates under a NOHC structure, which is subject to capital requirements set and monitored by APRA and ASIC, including certain prudential requirements regarding:

  • the proportion of high quality capital such as share capital and retained profits; and

  • reductions in the Group’s capital base requiring APRA’s written approval (for example, planned payment of dividends that exceed the prior 12 months’ earnings, or other forms of returns of capital).

Calculation of capital resources

Group CET1 capital includes ordinary equity less intangibles, equity investments, net deferred tax assets and other assets required to be removed by regulation. The table below summarises the capital position as at reporting date:

2024 2023
$m $m
AMP statutory equity attributable to shareholders of AMP Limited 3,652 3,874

1 Other adjustments relate to the net assets of AMP Foundation and surpluses recognised on defined benefit plans.

  • 2 Other regulatory adjustments relate to deductions for securitisation, capitalised costs, cash flow hedge reserves for non-fair value items on the balance sheet and other deductions.

3 A number of AMP’s operating entities are subject to APRA (AMP Bank Limited under the ADI Prudential Standards and N.M Superannuation Proprietary Limited under the Operational Risk Financial Requirements) and ASIC requirements. In certain circumstances, regulators may require AMP and its operating entities to hold a greater level of capital to support its business and/or restrict the amount of dividends that can be paid by them.

Notes to the financial statements

for the year ended 31 December 2024

4.1 Defined benefit plans continued

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

Defined benefit plans

The AMP group recognises the net deficit or surplus position of each fund in the Consolidated statement of financial position. The deficit or surplus is measured as the difference between the fair value of the funds’ assets and the discounted defined benefit obligations of the funds, using discount rates determined with reference to market yields on high quality corporate bonds at the end of the reporting period.

After taking into account any contributions paid into the defined benefit funds during the year, movements in the net surplus or deficit of each fund, except actuarial gains and losses, are recognised in the Consolidated income statement. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions over the year and the returns on plan assets are recognised (net of tax) directly in retained earnings through Other comprehensive income.

Contributions paid into defined benefit funds are recognised as reductions in the deficit.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Defined benefit obligations

The value of the group’s defined benefit obligations are outputs of actuarial models dependent on a number of underlying assumptions. Management applies judgment in selecting the assumptions used. Key assumptions include:

  • discount rate;

  • expected future salary increases;

  • pension indexation;

  • mortality; and

  • life expectancy.

AMP has multiple employee share-based payment plans. Share-based payment plans help create alignment between employees participating in those plans (participants) and shareholders. Information on plans which AMP currently offers is provided below.

The following table shows the expense recorded for AMP share-based payment plans during the year:

2024 2023
$'000 $'000
Plans currently offered
Performance rights - equity settled 1 3,143 4,696
Share rights and restricted shares - equity settled 2 4,114 4,023
Performance rights – cash settled 79
Total share-basedpayments expense 7,336 8,719

1 Non-market performance rights which were forfeited or where performance conditions were not met were reversed during the year. 2 Includes deferred share rights issued under Short-Term Incentive (STI) awards.

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

Equity-settled share-based payments

The cost of equity-settled share-based payments is measured using their fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value calculation takes into consideration several factors, including the likelihood of achieving market-based vesting conditions such as total shareholder return (market conditions).

The cost of equity-settled share-based payments is recognised in the Consolidated income statement, together with a corresponding increase in the share-based payment reserve (SBP reserve) in equity, over the vesting period of the instrument. At each reporting date, AMP reviews its estimates of the number of instruments that are expected to vest and any changes to the cost are recognised in the Consolidated income statement and the SBP reserve, over the remaining vesting period.

Where the terms of an equity-settled share-based payment are modified and the expense increases because of the modification, the increase is recognised over the remaining vesting period. When a modification reduces the expense, there is no adjustment, and the pre-modification cost continues to be recognised.

Where an equity-settled award does not ultimately vest, the expenses get reversed, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition and that condition is not satisfied in which case the relevant expenses are retained in line with the accounting requirements.

Cash-settled share-based payments

Cash-settled share-based payments are recognised where AMP has an obligation to settle a share-based arrangement in cash or intends to settle in cash.

Cash-settled share-based payments are recognised over the vesting period of the award in the Consolidated income statement, together with a corresponding liability. The fair value is measured on initial recognition and re-measured at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with any changes in fair value recognised in the Consolidated income statement. Similar to equity-settled awards, the number of instruments expected to vest are reviewed at each reporting date and any changes are recognised in the Consolidated income statement and as a corresponding movement in liability. The fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques.

(a) Performance rights – equity settled

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Executive Committee members receive their long-term incentive (LTI) award in the form of performance rights. This is intended to ensure the interests of those executives who can most directly influence company performance, are appropriately aligned with the interests of shareholders.

Valuation of Performance rights – equity settled

The values for performance rights are based on valuations prepared by an independent external consultant. The valuations are based on the 10-day volume weighted average share price over the 10-day trading period prior to the start of the award’s valuation period. Assumptions regarding the dividend yield and volatility have been estimated based on AMP’s dividend yield and volatility over an appropriate period.

In determining the share-based payments expense, the number of instruments expected to vest has been adjusted to reflect the number of employees expected to remain with AMP until the end of the performance period; this is revisited each reporting date. The following table shows the factors and range considered in determining the value of the performance rights granted during the last two years.

Valuation of share rights

The fair value of share rights has been calculated as at the grant date by external consultants using a discounted cash flow methodology. If relevant to the award, fair value has been discounted for the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period to which the participant is not entitled. For the purposes of the valuation, it is assumed share rights are exercised as soon as they have vested. Assumptions regarding the dividend yield have been estimated based on AMP’s dividend yield over an appropriate period.

In determining the share-based payments expense, the number of instruments expected to vest has been adjusted to reflect the number of employees expected to remain with AMP until the end of the vesting period. The following table shows the factors and range considered in determining the independent fair value of the share rights granted during the last two years:

(a) Partnership for Advice business

On 2 December 2024, AMP announced the completion of the Partnership for Advice business creating a partnership and ownership structure with Entireti Limited (Entireti) and AZ Next Generation Advisory Limited (AZ NGA) for the AMP Advice business, which had previously been announced on 8 August 2024. Entireti acquired AMP’s financial advice licensees: Charter Financial Planning Limited, Hillross Financial Services Limited, AMP Financial Planning Pty Limited, as well as its self-licensed offer Jigsaw Support Services Pty Limited for $10.2m. AMP retains a minority interest of 30% in a new entity (Mutual Advice Partners Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Entireti) holding these four businesses. AZ NGA acquired AMP's equity holdings in 16 financial advice practices for $82.5m. The results of the Advice business has been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated income statement. AASB 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (AASB 5) requires the income, expenses and cash flows of Advice business to be separately disclosed as discontinued operations.

In accordance with AASB 5, the comparative period results have been re-presented. As result, in addition to the Advice business, whose results were included for the entire comparative period, the discontinued operations for year ended 31 December 2023 also included the income, expenses and cashflows of:

2 AMP’s 31 December 2023 financial report was qualified with respect to the external auditor’s ability to obtain sufficient, appropriate, thirdparty audit evidence about AMP’s share of the net income and consequently the carrying amount of its investment in CLPC for the year ended 31 December 2023. On 22 March 2024, subsequent to the issuance of AMP’s 31 December 2023 financial report, CLPC’s audited financial statements were issued which evidenced AMP’s share of CLPC’s net income for the year ended 31 December 2023 and consequently the carrying amount of AMP’s investment in CLPC at that date was supported.

3 AMP has significant influence through representation on the entity's board.

4 The 2024 carrying amount represents AMP's interest in Mutual Advice Partners Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Entireti Limited (Entireti) which acquired AMP's Advice business in 2H 2024. The comparative balances include investments by Advice business that were sold in 2H 2024.

5.3 Investments in associates continued

Accounting Policy – recognition and measurement

Investments in associates

Investments in entities over which the AMP group has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method. The investment is measured at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the AMP group’s share of the associates’ net assets, less any impairment in value. The AMP group’s share of profit or loss of associates is included in the Consolidated income statement. Any dividend or distribution received from associates is accounted for as a reduction in the carrying value of the associate.

Any impairment is recognised in the Consolidated income statement when there is objective evidence that a loss has been incurred. It is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment in entities exceeds the recoverable amount.

Other long-term benefits – Other employee entitlements are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the present value of future cash outflows, discount rates are determined with reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash-on-hand that is available on demand and deposits that are held at call with financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value, being the principal amount. For the purpose of the Consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents also include other highly liquid investments not subject to significant risk of change in value, with short periods to maturity, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within interest-bearing liabilities in the Consolidated statement of financial position.

6.2 Commitments

(a) Investment commitments

At 31 December 2024, AMP group had uncalled investment commitments of $12m (2023: $18m) in relation to certain sponsor investments. Subsequent to the reporting date, $nil of this committed capital was invested by AMP group into managed funds. These investment commitments will only be called when suitable investment opportunities arise, and the exact timeline remains unspecified.

(b) AMP Bank credit-related loan commitments

At 31 December 2024, AMP Bank had credit-related commitments of $4,025m (2023: $3,576m), which included undrawn balances on customer approved limits as well as loan offers pending signing by customers and signed loan contracts pending settlement. AMP Bank expects that not all of the credit-related commitments will be drawn before their contractual expiry.

6.3 Right of use assets and lease liabilities

Per AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16), the group recognises lease liabilities except for short-term leases and leases where the underlying asset is of low value, with corresponding right of use assets in the Consolidated statement of financial position.

(a) Right of use (ROU) assets

The main type of ROU asset recognised by the group is premises. The following table details the carrying amount of the ROU assets at 31 December 2024 and the movements during the year.

6.3 Right of use assets and lease liabilities continued

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

At inception, the AMP group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. Such assessment involves the application of judgement as to whether:

  • the contract involves the use of an identified asset;

  • the group obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the asset; and

  • the group has the right to direct the use of the asset.

It is AMP’s policy to separate non-lease components when recognising the lease liability.

The group recognises a Right of Use (ROU) asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The ROU asset is initially measured as the present value of future lease payments, plus initial direct costs and restoration costs of the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received. The ROU asset is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the underlying asset. The ROU asset is tested for impairment, including any reversal, if there is an indicator, and is adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments discounted using the group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments generally include fixed payments and variable payments that depend on an index, eg CPI. A lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments from a change in an index, or if the group’s assessment of whether an option will be exercised changes.

Interest expense on lease liabilities is recognised within finance costs in the Consolidated income statement.

The group has elected not to recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases where the lease term is less than or equal to 12 months and where the underlying asset is of low value. Payments for such leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Management applies judgment in identifying and measuring lease liabilities and assessing impairment indicators for ROU assets which includes:

  • assessing whether a contract contains a lease;

  • determining lease term and incremental borrowing rate;

  • separating lease and non-lease components;

  • assessing lease modification vis-a-vis new lease; and

  • assessing the usage of ROU assets and the associated benefits.

Accounting policy – recognition and measurement

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when:

  • AMP has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

  • it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

  • a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. For provisions other than employee entitlements, the discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

A contingent liability is disclosed where a legal or constructive obligation is possible, but not probable; or where the obligation is probable, but the financial impact of the event is unable to be reliably estimated.

From time to time the AMP group may incur obligations or suffer financial loss arising from litigation or contracts entered into in the normal course of business, including guarantees issued for performance obligations of controlled entities in the AMP group. Legal proceedings threatened against AMP may also, if filed, result in AMP incurring obligations or suffering financial loss.

Where it is determined that the disclosure of information in relation to a contingent liability can be expected to adversely prejudice the position of the AMP group (or its insurers) in a dispute, accounting standards allow AMP to not disclose such information. It is AMP’s policy that such information is not disclosed in this note.

Industry and regulatory compliance investigations

AMP is subject to review from time to time by regulators, both in Australia and offshore. In Australia, AMP’s principal regulators are APRA, ASIC, AUSTRAC and the ATO, although other government agencies may have jurisdiction depending on the circumstances. The reviews and investigations conducted by regulators may be industry-wide or specific to AMP and the outcomes of those reviews and investigations can vary and may lead, for example, to the imposition of penalties, disagreement with management’s position on judgmental matters including provisions and tax positions, variations or restrictions to licences, the compensation of clients, enforceable undertakings or recommendations and directions for AMP to enhance its control framework, governance and systems.

AMP regularly undertakes internal reviews, as part of ongoing monitoring and supervision activities, to determine, amongst other things, where clients or other stakeholders, including employees, may have been disadvantaged. In some instances, compensation has been paid and where the results of our reviews have reached the point that compensation is likely and can be reliably estimated then a provision has been raised. These provisions are judgemental and the actual compensation could vary from the amounts provided.

6.4 Provisions and contingent liabilities continued

Litigation and claims

Superannuation class action

During May and June 2019, certain subsidiaries of AMP Limited, namely, N.M. Superannuation Proprietary Limited (NM Super), AMP Superannuation Pty Limited (AMP Super), NMMT Limited and AMP Services Limited (AMP Services), were served with two class actions in the Federal Court of Australia (the Federal Court). The first of those class actions related to the fees charged to members of certain of AMP superannuation funds. The second of those actions related to the fees charged to members, and interest rates received and fees charged on cash-only fund options. The two proceedings were brought on behalf of certain superannuation clients and their beneficiaries. Subsequently, the Federal Court ordered that the two proceedings be consolidated into one class action. The consolidated class action is in respect of the period July 2008 to May 2020. The AMP respondents have filed defences to the proceedings. The claim against NMMT Limited has since been discontinued. The claims are yet to be quantified and participation has not been determined. At present, the proceedings are listed for a trial of eight weeks commencing on 26 May 2025. Currently, the potential outcome and costs associated with the matter remain uncertain. The proceedings are being defended.

Commissions for advice and insurance advice class action

In July 2020, AMP Financial Planning Pty Limited (AMPFP) and Hillross Financial Services Limited (Hillross), both subsidiaries of AMP Limited at that time, were served with a class action in the Federal Court. The class action related to advice provided by some aligned financial advisers in respect of certain life and other insurance products. Subsequently, in August 2020, AMP Limited, AMPFP, Hillross and Charter Financial Planning Limited (Charter, which was a subsidiary of AMP Limited at that time), were served with a class action in the Federal Court. The class action primarily related to the payment of commissions to some aligned financial advisers in respect of certain life insurance and other products and in respect of allegations of charging of fees where advice services were not provided. In December 2020, the Federal Court ordered that these two class actions be consolidated. The consolidated class action is in respect of the period July 2014 to February 2021. The respondents have filed a defence to the proceedings. The claim is yet to be quantified and participation has not been determined. At present, the proceedings are listed for a trial of four weeks in 1H 26. Currently, the potential outcome and costs associated with the matter remain uncertain. The proceedings are being defended.

Proceedings brought by Munich Re Australia

In April 2023, AMP Limited and certain subsidiaries, namely, AMP Services, NM Super, AMP Super and AWM Services Pty Limited, were served with proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales brought by Munich Reinsurance Company of Australasia Limited (Munich Re). The proceedings primarily relate to allegations of misleading or deceptive conduct in respect of the entry by Munich Re and Resolution Life Australasia Limited (RLA) (formerly AMP Life Limited, which is also a defendant to the proceedings) into certain reinsurance arrangements in 2016 and 2017. The AMP respondents have filed a defence in the primary proceedings. RLA has similarly filed a defence in the primary proceedings and a cross-claim against AMP Services (in respect of an indemnity said to be given by AMP Services to RLA) and subsequently amended that cross-claim (in respect of claims against NM Super relating to purported termination of certain policies held with RLA). AMP Services has filed a defence to the initial cross-claim. The claim is yet to be quantified. Currently, the potential outcome and costs associated with the matter remain uncertain. The proceedings are being defended.

Indemnities and warranties

Under the terms of sale agreements of various entities transacted by AMP from time to time, AMP has given certain covenants, warranties and indemnities in favour of counterparties to those sales. From time to time, AMP may be notified of potential breaches of these covenants, warranties and indemnities. A breach of these covenants or warranties, or the triggering of an indemnity, may result in AMP being potentially liable for some future payments to those entities. Management reviews these notified potential breaches on an ongoing basis, and provision amounts, where applicable, are adjusted at each reporting period to reflect management’s best estimate. In addition, there remain other indemnities and warranties for which no provision has been recognised as at the reporting date and a contingent liability exists should such indemnities and warranties be called upon or where actual outcomes differ from management’s expectations.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The group recognises a provision where a legal or constructive obligation exists at the balance sheet date and a reliable estimate can be made of the likely outcome. Provisions are reviewed on a regular basis and adjusted for management’s best estimates, however significant judgement is required to estimate likely outcomes and future cash flows. The judgemental nature of these items means that future amounts settled may be different from those provided for.

  • 1 Auditor's remuneration is based on estimates available at the reporting date. The estimates for 2023 were finalised after the release of AMP Limited's FY23 financial report which has resulted in approximately $400k lower fees for Audit and Audit related assurance services compared to the amount disclosed in FY23 financial report. This table reflects the updated fees for 2023. Additionally, certain audit-related services previously presented as part of the non-consolidated Trusts and Funds have been re-presented as part of the 'Other assurance services - audit related' under the AMP Limited consolidated group for a more faithful presentation of fees for the AMP Limited consolidated group. The re-presentation has resulted in an additional amount of approximately $300k for 2023 as reflected in this note. The net impact of these adjustments represents approximately $100k lower fees for 2023 for the AMP Limited consolidated group.

  • 2 Statutory assurance services relate to AFSL audits and certain APRA reporting assurance required to be performed by the statutory auditor.

  • 3 Other assurance services – audit related primarily relate to APRA returns and compliance reporting, compliance plan audits, internal control reviews, GS007 Type 2 reporting and sustainability reporting audit.

  • 4 Other services include general process and controls reviews, assurance readiness reviews, and transaction services.

  • 5 Total amount excludes audit related fees and non-audit fees paid or payable for Trusts and Funds not consolidated into the group. Total fees excluded are $3,046k (2023: $3,108k) of which $95k (2023: $140k) is for non-audit services.

6.6 New accounting standards and other developments

(a) New and amended accounting standards adopted by the AMP group

A number of new amendments to accounting standards have been adopted effective 1 January 2024. These have not had a material impact on the financial position or performance of the AMP group.

(b) New accounting standards issued but not yet effective

A number of new accounting standards and amendments have been issued but are not yet effective, none of which have been early adopted by the AMP group in these financial statements. These new standards and amendments, when applied in future periods, are not expected to have a material impact on AMP group’s financial statements except for the below accounting standards, which is not being early adopted by the group.

AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (AASB 18)

AASB 18 was issued in June 2024 replacing AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (AASB 101) and will be effective for the group from 1 January 2027. The standard has been issued to improve how entities communicate their results within their financial statements, with a particular focus on information about financial performance in the income statement. The key presentation and disclosure requirements are:

(i) The presentation of newly defined categories of income and expenses and subtotals in the income statement;

(ii) The disclosure of management-defined performance measures; and

(iii) Enhanced guidance on the grouping of information.

The AMP group is currently assessing the impact of this new standard.

139

6.6 New accounting standards and other developments continued

(c) Other developments

Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards

  • AASB S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information (AASB S1)

  • AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosure (AASB S2)

AASB S1 & S2 are Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards issued by the AASB in September 2024. AASB S1 is a voluntary standard while AASB S2 is a mandatory. Both standards will be effective for the group from 1 January 2025. The standards set out the sustainability-related and climate-related financial disclosures for sustainability reports for the preparers of general purpose financial reports. The key features and disclosure requirements of both standards are as follows:

AASB S1

This standard deals with general requirements for the disclosure of material information about significant sustainability-related risks and opportunities across an entity’s value chain. This adopts a four-pillar core content framework which requires an entity to provide disclosures around governance, strategy, risk management as well as metrics and targets related to sustainability matters.

AASB S2

This standard deals with climate-related disclosures and sets out requirements for an entity to disclose information about its exposure to significant climate-related risks and opportunities that will facilitate users of its financial report to assess the impact of these risks and opportunities on the entity’s financial position, performance and cash-flows, strategy and business model. The main climate-related financial disclosure requirements are structured around the four content pillars of governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets. The standard also requires disclosures on scenario analysis and Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions.

The AMP group is currently assessing the impact of these new standards, which have not been adopted for the financial year ended 31 December 2024.

Consolidated Entity Disclosure Statement

During 2024, the Federal Government passed legislation amending the Corporations Act 2001 requiring Australian public companies to present mandatory disclosure of detailed information about each entity within the consolidated group, including tax residency, in a new Consolidated Entity Disclosure Statement (CEDS) in their financial reports. CEDS requires information about each entity’s name, entity type/legal structure, place of incorporation or formation, the public company’s percentage of ownership and country of tax residency. The amendments apply to AMP group’s 2024 financial report. Accordingly, the CEDS has been included in this financial report and is presented on page 140.

International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules

The group is subject to global minimum top-up tax under Pillar Two tax legislation enacted by the Federal Government effective in Australia for the year ended 31 December 2024. New Zealand and Luxembourg, where the group has subsidiaries, have also enacted Pillar Two requirements into domestic law. Pillar Two legislation in New Zealand was not effective at the reporting date. On current assessment, the group does not expect any liability to Pillar Two top-up tax to arise. The group has adopted the temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for the impacts of the top-up tax.

6.7 Events occurring after reporting date

As at the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

  • the AMP group’s operation in future financial years;

  • the results of those operations in future financial years; or

  • the AMP group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Report on the audit of the Financial Report

Qualified opinion

We have audited the financial report of AMP Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • a. Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2024 and of its consolidated financial performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • b. Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for qualified opinion

As disclosed in section 5.3 of the notes to the financial statements, the Company’s investment in China Life Pension Company (CLPC), a foreign associate accounted for using the equity method, is carried at $525 million on the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2024. The Company’s share of CLPC’s post-tax net income of $53 million is included in the Company’s income for the year then ended, and financial statements of CLPC are still in the process of being audited by CLPC’s auditor at the date of this audit report. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence about the Company’s share of CLPC’s net income for the year then ended and the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in CLPC as at 31 December 2024. Consequently, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary.

Our opinion on the financial report for the year ended 31 December 2023 was similarly qualified. In the audit for the year ending 31 December 2024, we were able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to support the Company’s share of CLPC’s net income that was recorded in 2023 and consequently the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in CLPC as at 31 December 2023.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Basis for qualified opinion section we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial report.

Information Technology (IT) systems and controls over financial reporting

Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter

  • A significant part of the Group’s operations and financial reporting processes are primarily reliant on IT systems for the processing and recording of a high volume of transactions.

  • The group-wide IT environment is complex in terms of the scale and nature of IT systems relied upon. IT General Controls (ITGCs) support the continuous operation of the automated and other IT dependent controls within the business processes related to financial reporting. Effective ITGCs are required to ensure that IT applications process business data as expected and that changes are made in an appropriate manner.

  • A fundamental component of these IT systems and controls is ensuring that risks relating to inappropriate user access management, unauthorised program changes and IT operating protocols are addressed.

We identified User Access Management including IT privileged access controls for applications that are critical to financial reporting is of a heightened risk and therefore this is considered to be a key audit matter.

  • We focused our audit procedures on those IT systems and controls that are significant to the Group’s financial reporting process.

  • We involved our IT specialists to assist with assessing and evaluating the significant IT systems and controls.

  • We assessed the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the Group’s IT controls, including those related to user access management, change and operating management and data integrity.

  • Where we identified design and/or operating deficiencies in the IT control environment, our audit procedures included the following:

  • assessed the integrity and reliability of the systems and data related to financial reporting; and

  • where automated procedures were supported by systems with identified deficiencies, we assessed compensating or mitigating controls that were not reliant on the IT control environment. This involved varying the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures performed.

Information other than the Financial Report and Auditor’s Report thereon

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company’s 2024 annual report but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:

  • The financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and

  • The consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 ; and

for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:

  • The financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

  • The consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Plan and perform the Group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the Group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for the purposes of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated to the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
