Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and a Bonus Option Plan (BOP) that will operate in respect of the 2012 final dividend. For the 2012 final dividend, ANZ intends to provide shares under the DRP and BOP through the issue of new shares. The 'Acquisition Price' to be used in determining the number of shares to be provided under the DRP and BOP will be calculated by reference to the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average sale price of fully paid ANZ ordinary shares sold on the ASX during the seven trading days commencing on 16 November 2012, and then rounded to the nearest whole cent. Shares provided under the DRP and BOP will rank equally in all respects with existing fully paid ANZ ordinary shares. Election notices from shareholders wanting to commence, cease or vary their participation in the DRP or BOP for the 2012 final dividend must be received by ANZ's Share Registrar by 5.00 pm (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on 14 November 2012. Subject to receiving effective contrary instructions from the shareholder, dividends payable to shareholders with a registered address in Great Britain (including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) or New Zealand will be converted to Pounds Sterling and New Zealand dollars respectively at an exchange rate calculated at 5.00 pm (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on 16 November 2012.

ANZ 2012 Full Year Result

- productivity, super regional strategy drive higher profit and dividend -

ANZ today announced a statutory profit[1] after tax of $5.7 billion and an underlying profit[2] of $6.0 billion for the financial year ended 30 September 2012, both up 6% over the prior year (YOY).

The proposed final dividend of 79 cents per share (cps) fully franked is 4% higher YOY. The total dividend for 2012 is $1.45 per share.

Group Balance Sheet and Performance Highlights[3]

  • Profit before provisions (PBP) increased 5% YOY (4% HOH) reflecting Group-wide productivity gains, improved performance from the Australia Division in the second half, early benefits from the New Zealand simplification program, growth in International and Institutional Banking particularly in Asia and an improving contribution from the Global Wealth and Private Banking Division.

  • The Group invested $1.3 billion in targeted growth initiatives in 2012 with productivity improvements driving flat expenses HOH and positive revenue/cost jaws YOY and HOH.

  • ANZ continues to increase the diversity of its revenue base with 21% of Group revenues derived outside of Australia and New Zealand during 2012. Global Markets revenue increased 14% to $1.9 billion with customer sales income up 10% to represent 61% of total income.

  • Net interest margin excluding Global Markets declined 3 basis points (bps) from the end of the first half[4] reflecting increased funding costs in particular from deposits, as well as asset pricing pressure in Institutional.

  • Deposits grew 12% with lending up 8% (FX adjusted).

  • ANZ continues to have the lowest wholesale funding requirement of its domestic peers. Customer funding comprises 61% of total funding.

  • The Group is well positioned for the implementation of Basel 3 from January 2013. As at 30 September 2012, ANZ’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (CET1) was 10.0% on a Basel 3 harmonised basis[5] or 8.0% under the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority’s (APRA) Basel 3 standards.

  • Return on Equity reduced by 60 bps to 15.6%. Benefits from the Group’s capital efficiency focus were somewhat offset by higher regulatory capital holdings and reduced earnings on capital in a lower interest rate environment.

  • The provision charge was $1.25 billion broadly in line with 2011. Gross impaired assets declined 7% YOY while the collective provision coverage ratio remains strong at 1.08%.

  • ANZ was awarded Bank of the Year, Mortgage Lender of the Year and Business Bank of the Year during 2012. The Group was also recognised as a top 5 Corporate Bank in Asia[6] and was ranked the most sustainable bank globally in the 2012 Dow Jones Sustainability Index

ANZ Chief Executive Officer Mike Smith said: “This result continues our track record of delivering on our promises to shareholders, customers, staff and to the community.

“Our super regional strategy, with its focus on significant organic growth opportunities in Asia Pacific and building strong domestic businesses in Australia and New Zealand, together with an increased emphasis on productivity improvements, has seen us deliver a good performance in 2012.

“Just as important is our strategic progress. Over the past five years we have systematically worked in every area of the bank to transform ANZ, delivering on our regional growth aspirations and emerging from the global financial crisis as a stronger, more international bank.

MEDIA RELEASE

“Our results also show that management has been proactively responding to fast changing and challenging conditions in different markets to drive both growth and productivity.

“The Asia Pacific Europe and America (APEA) network now drives 21% of Group revenue[7] ; Greater China is now our third largest market in terms of earnings,” Mr. Smith said.

Commenting on the 2012 result, Mr Smith said: “Our performance was consistent with the expectations we outlined at the Half Year result and in our August trading update. The results demonstrate continued progress with our super regional strategy while also adapting ANZ to the lower growth environment where tight management of costs and capital is increasingly important.

“While we have continued to invest in our strategy, the increasing focus on productivity has delivered lower cost growth, particularly in the second half where the cost to income ratio fell 110 basis points to 45.1%.

“Performance in the Australia Division improved during the second half. This saw us produce a good result based on market share gains, tight management of margins and a strong productivity focus. Retail performed well across all segments and Commercial saw customer numbers increase, particularly in Small Business Banking.

“The International and Institutional Banking Division delivered significant growth in a number of priority segments based on the connectivity of our network. This included strong performances in Natural Resources, Trade and Supply Chain and Global Markets particularly in Foreign Exchange, although performances in Agriculture and Infrastructure were more subdued. Commercial in Asia achieved good growth. We also made progress in adapting the business to the new operating environment, particularly in Australia where subdued trading conditions and significant margin pressure are necessitating continuing change.

“The New Zealand Division delivered another good performance. The credit environment continues to improve and business simplification is showing benefits through productivity gains, good customer satisfaction outcomes, market share growth in key segments and higher staff engagement. We have also announced we will move to one brand and this weekend we will complete the move to one technology platform.

“Profits from the newly-formed Global Wealth and Private Banking Division were flat reflecting market conditions but importantly, having put a new management focus on this business, we saw an improving contribution in the second half with better insurance results, higher investment earnings and productivity improvements. We will be updating investors on the direction of this business next month,” Mr Smith said.

Mr Smith added: “With the global economy softening, it’s clear that the post-GFC lower growth business environment will be with us for the foreseeable future, as will the requirement to operate with higher levels of regulatory capital and higher funding and liquidity costs. ANZ has the right strategy focused on regional growth markets and we have been making the necessary structural adjustments, including a shift to emphasise productivity improvements and capital efficiency.

“Although the operating environment in 2013 looks more challenging with stronger headwinds in a number of areas, our unique growth strategy and the momentum we have in adapting to the new environment means we are well placed to deliver value and performance to shareholders in 2013,” Mr Smith said.

PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION[8]

AUSTRALIA

Divisional profit grew 4% (up 10% HOH) with PBP up 2% (up 11% HOH). Market share gains in traditional banking, affluent retail and household deposits and lending have been a feature of the 2012 performance with ANZ recognised with a number of awards including Bank of the Year, Home Lender of the Year and Business Bank of the Year.

Retail lending grew 7% with mortgage lending growing above system. ANZ’s share of household deposits has grown consistently over the past three years, up 30 bps in 2012. Commercial lending grew 9% driven by increased customer numbers and share of wallet. The Commercial business is harnessing ANZ’s regional connectivity with trade finance revenues attributable to Commercial Clients up 20% YOY and Global Markets revenues up 40% YOY.

The Australia Division is transforming its cost base. Costs fell HOH while revenue/cost jaws were positive both YOY and HOH. Further productivity improvements will be driven by greater use of digital platforms, automation and simplification of products and processes. The branch transformation program, part of the recently announced “Banking on Australia” program will deliver an improved customer experience and a more flexible lower cost footprint.

Despite recovering 4 bps HOH the Divisional margin declined YOY reflecting the ongoing impact of elevated funding costs, in particular for deposits.

7 APEA network revenue is total revenue derived from outside Australia and New Zealand regardless of booking point. 8 Comparisons are all FY12 compared to FY11 (YOY) and on an underlying basis unless otherwise noted.

MEDIA RELEASE

Credit quality is performing to expectations. Mortgage delinquencies have continued to decline across all bands (30, 60 and 90 days) however softening economic conditions, particularly in regional Australia, drove increased provision charges.

INTERNATIONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL BANKING DIVISION (IIB)

Profit from International and Institutional Banking grew 3% with PBP up 7%. IIB continues to grow and diversify earnings by priority geography, product and customer, reducing its historical reliance on Institutional lending and interest rate trading.

Transaction Banking profit increased 23%, Trade and Supply Chain profit was up 47% and Global Markets profit grew 22%. In line with our strategy, around two thirds of Global Markets revenue is now from customer sales and more than half of sales revenue now comes from Foreign Exchange. Overall, 43% of the Division’s revenue and 54% of deposits are now derived from outside Australia and New Zealand.

An 11% increase in lending volumes was driven predominantly by APEA where the lending book is dominated by shorter duration trade finance which grew 30%. Challenging macro conditions and tightening margins which declined 19 bps during the second half saw Global Loans profit decline 17%. The difficult margin outcome, particularly in Australia, reflected increased funding and liquidity costs, asset pricing competition and the shift to shorter duration, lower risk assets. Deposits increased 10% YOY with APEA Retail deposits up 17% to $13.4 billion.

Revenue to cost jaws were neutral, with expenses declining 1% in the second half.

Institutional's gross impaired assets reduced 4% due to a combination of repayments, upgrades and write-offs. The impairment charge was up 46% with losses on a few legacy loans in Australia partially offset by collective provision releases from associated concentration risk provisions.

NEW ZEALAND (all figures in NZD)

New Zealand Division profit increased 11% with PBP up 4%. The credit environment continues to improve in New Zealand and the Division’s simplification focus is delivering benefits including productivity gains and market share growth in key segments. The cost to income ratio fell by 100 bps to 43.9%.

Lending volumes increased 3% with momentum particularly evident in the second half reflecting an increased focus on mortgages in the Auckland region and on the Small Business segment. Deposits increased 9% with good growth in Retail and in Small Business Banking deposits.

In Retail, strong underlying profit growth was driven by balance sheet growth and strong cost control which helped mitigate a tightening margin environment. In Commercial the business is leveraging ANZ’s super regional strategy with revenues from Trade Finance up 21% YOY.

In late September ANZ announced it would be merging the ANZ and National Bank brands using the ANZ brand. There is a comprehensive brand and customer management program in place that will run over the coming months.

Credit quality has continued to strengthen. Delinquency rates have declined and gross impaired assets have decreased by 21%. The provision charge declined 12% YOY and 12% HOH.

GLOBAL WEALTH AND PRIVATE BANKING[9]

Despite flat profit growth YOY the Global Wealth and Private Banking Division’s performance improved half on half, reflecting better performance in insurance and investment earnings and a decline in costs as productivity benefits emerged. The cost to income ratio improved significantly HOH down 350 bps to 56.3%.

Funds under management (FUM) increased 6% with New Zealand performing strongly up 15%. Favourable claims experience partially offset higher lapse rates with net insurance income increasing 4% during the second half and annual individual in-force premiums up 11% YOY and 7% HOH.

BALANCE SHEET, CAPITAL, LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING

ANZ is managing returns to shareholders with a focus on executing the Group’s strategy in the most capital efficient way.

The Group has raised around $11 billion of additional capital since 2007 to strengthen the balance sheet and is well positioned for the implementation of the new Basel 3 capital rules from January 2013. ANZ’s CET1 ratio stands at 10.0% on a Basel 3 fully harmonised basis or 8.0% under the APRA Basel 3 requirements. The CET1 increase of 55 bps in FY12 was driven by organic capital generation before dividends of 106 bps and capital optimisation initiatives of 28 bps. With the capital strengthening phase now largely complete, ANZ will be removing the 1.5% discount on the Dividend Reinvestment Plan effective as of the forthcoming final dividend.

9 ANZ announced the formation of the Global Wealth and Private Banking business in February 2012. It encompasses Wealth Management, Insurance, Private Banking and E*Trade online broking and services more than two million customers across ANZ’s key regions.

MEDIA RELEASE

ANZ’s 2012 wholesale funding task of $21 billion was completed ahead of schedule and one third of the 2013 requirement has already been funded. Having the lowest wholesale funding requirement amongst our major domestic peers provides ANZ with additional flexibility in terms of funding strategy. In 2012, 41% of our issuance was domestically sourced and our global investor base has been further diversified driven by the issuance of covered bonds in a range of currencies.

Liquid assets exceed all wholesale debt maturing in the next 12 months and also exceed the Group’s total offshore wholesale debt portfolio.

ADJUSTMENTS TO STATUTORY PROFIT - NON-CORE ITEMS

ANZ adjusts statutory profit for certain non-core items to calculate underlying profit. A net $296 million after tax of non-core adjustments was recognised in the second half. Included in this amount were the $224 million gain from the sale of Visa Inc. shares announced in September, economic and revenue hedge mark to market adjustments of $217 million, $59 million for the New Zealand simplification program and $220 million in impairment of software assets.

CREDIT QUALITY

Credit quality is in line with expectations and ANZ remains appropriately provided for with the total provision coverage ratio at 1.78% and the collective provision ratio at 1.08%.

Gross impaired assets reduced both YOY and HOH. New impaired assets declined HOH with impaired loans 13% lower. All Divisions saw HOH decreases in new impaired assets with the exception of Australia, with increases predominantly in regional agri-business.

The provision charge of $1.25 billion was broadly in line with last year, albeit the mix of collective and individual provisions differed. Increased individual provisions reflected losses associated with a few legacy loans. There were related releases in collective provision management overlays raised in prior periods.

CEO OVERVIEW

CEO Overview[1]

Strategy and Performance

ANZ is executing a focused strategy to build the best connected, most respected bank across the Asia Pacific region.

The bank is pursuing significant organic growth opportunities in the Asia Pacific region and with our strong domestic businesses in Australia and New Zealand, our distinctive footprint and super regional connectivity we are uniquely positioned to meet the needs of customers, who are increasingly linked to regional capital, trade and wealth flows.

Management has proactively responded to the fast changing and challenging conditions in different markets, and is driving performance with innovative market and productivity initiatives.

In 2012 our differentiated strategy delivered a record underlying profit of $6 billion, with a Return on Equity of 15.6%, earnings per share of $2.25 and a total dividend per share of $1.45. Underlying net profit increased 6% year on year (YOY) and 2% half on half (HOH), with positive jaws YOY and HOH and an improving cost trend through the second half.

APEA network revenues[2] represented 21% of total Group revenue. Significantly, Greater China is now our third largest market in terms of earnings.

Group Strategic Aspiration

ANZ’s aspiration is to have 25-30% of profit driven by network revenue, that is revenue sourced from the Asia Pacific region, by 2017. We have made good progress towards this aspiration. Central to delivery of this goal will be ongoing productivity improvements including a 2% reduction in the cost to income ratio over the next two years, greater capital efficiency and increasing earnings stream differentiation.

Strategic progress 2012

While economic conditions across the Asia Pacific region remain more robust by comparison to much of the rest of the world, conditions for banking remain challenging characterised by deleveraging and lower credit growth in our core Australian and New Zealand markets and heightened competition for customer deposits. The impact of these macro-conditions has been compounded by increased levels of regulatory capital and higher funding costs.

As growth opportunities shift from the developed economies of the West to Asian economies, China in particular, ANZ’s super regional strategy linked to growing trade, investment and people flows within the region is more appropriate today than ever. The Group has also continued to adapt to both structural and cyclical changes in the market, working to fundamentally change our business model, focusing on improving productivity, driving capital efficiency and managing our risk profile.

The scale of transformation achieved at ANZ over the past five years has been significant, with a systematic and coordinated program of action across every area of the bank to deliver on the super regional strategy, and while more needs to be done to reposition the bank, 2012 has seen us deliver a good performance.

  • In our major domestic market of Australia, we delivered a good result based on market share gains, tighter management of margins and a strong productivity focus. Retail performed well across all segments and Commercial saw customer numbers increase particularly in Small Business Banking while driving productivity improvements with jaws positive HOH and YOY. The Division is continuing to build and leverage the bank’s super regional capabilities. For example, in the Commercial business, where trade finance revenues generated by Commercial clients increased 20% YOY and Global Markets revenues (e.g. foreign exchange) grew 40% YOY. ANZ recently announced a five year $1.5 billion “Banking on Australia” program funded from the existing cost base that incorporates a longer term branch transformation program that will deliver an improved customer experience and a more flexible lower cost footprint. This includes a focus on new consumer technologies and channels such as our leading mobile banking application for iPhone and Android users with 780,000 registered users now using the service in the Australian market.

  • Our New Zealand business delivered another solid performance in 2012. The business simplification program is delivering early benefits with productivity improvements including a new integrated management structure and a 56% reduction in product numbers with the cost to income ratio down 100 bps YOY. At the same time, the simplification of the business has seen customer satisfaction gains, market share growth in key segments and higher staff engagement. We also announced a move to one brand in New Zealand – the ANZ brand – which will take place progressively over the next two years, and from late October the bank will operate on one banking platform assisting the delivery of further productivity improvements.

  • The International and Institutional Banking Division is growing and diversifying its earnings by priority geography, product and customer. In 2012, 43% of Divisional revenues and 54% of deposits were derived from outside Australia and New Zealand.

  • While annual growth trends were solid in 2012, the second half was impacted by more subdued trading conditions and in Australia, by significant margin pressure as well as individual provisions relating to a few legacy customers. The Division has continued to transition away from its historical reliance on institutional lending and interest rate trading. Growth was significant in many of our priority segments based on the connectivity of our network – Transaction Banking profit increased 23% with profit from Trade and Supply Chain up 47%. Global Markets profit grew 22% with around two thirds of revenue from customer sales with foreign exchange now a major contributor to revenue.

  • The newly-formed Global Wealth and Private Banking Division improved performance in the second half with better insurance results, higher investment earnings and productivity improvements. The Division has been focused on regaining earnings momentum through increasing the depth of customer relationships with ANZ customers through the provision of wealth solutions and implementing productivity improvements through greater standardisation of processes. Costs in the business reduced 3% HOH while sales through ANZ branded channels have increased.

  • Operations - The Group’s earnings growth has been supported by improved leverage of our operational hubs. Having reached sufficient scale in our hubs we are now focussed on realising further service and efficiency benefits. This is reducing Group unit costs, strengthening operating risk management and providing our increasingly global customer base with ‘follow-the-sun’ servicing.

CEO OVERVIEW

  • The Group has generated around $11 billion of additional capital since 2007 to strengthen the balance sheet and is well positioned for the implementation of Basel 3 from January 2013. The Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 10.0% at 30 September 2012 on a Basel 3 harmonised basis or 8.0% under APRA’s Basel 3 standards. Customer funding was 61% of total funding.

  • Risk – Gross impaired assets reduced both HOH and YOY and the Group’s coverage ratios remain strong with CP to CRWA at 1.08% and the total provision ratio at 1.78%.

Medium to Long Term Strategic Goals

ANZ is committed to delivering above-peer earnings growth with strong capital and expense disciplines, targeting a 200 bps improvement in the Group cost to income ratio over the next two years while increasing our ROE from current levels. The target dividend payout ratio remains at around 65% of underlying profit which we believe to be a sustainable level in a Basel 3 environment.

To do this we will:

  • Further strengthen our position in our core markets of Australia and New Zealand by driving productivity benefits, leveraging the super regional strategy and using technology to drive improved functionality.

  • In Australia we are investing to transform the business through improved channel management (branch network reconfiguration, digital platforms), improving sales effectiveness and lowering cost to serve in our commercial business, and investing in customer insights and understanding.

  • In New Zealand we will work under one brand on one platform with more efficient market coverage.

  • Focus our Asian expansion primarily on Institutional Banking, supporting our Australian and New Zealand customers, targeting profitable markets and segments in which we have expertise which are connected through trade and capital flows while continuing to efficiently build our niche Commercial and Retail businesses.

  • Achieve greater efficiency and control through the use of scalable common infrastructure and platforms.

  • Maintain strong liquidity and actively manage capital to enhance ROE.

  • Build on our Super Regional capabilities – utilising our management bench-strength and continuing to deepen our international talent pool.

  • Apply strict acquisition criteria when reviewing inorganic opportunities.

Summary

ANZ’s financial goal is to deliver top quartile total shareholder return (TSR) performance and above-peer EPS growth through the cycle, by building a position as the best connected, most respected bank in the Asia Pacific region.

CFO OVERVIEW

Non-IFRS information

The Group provides two additional measures of performance in the Results Announcement which are prepared on a basis other than in accordance with the accounting standards; namely underlying profit and economic profit. The guidance provided in Australian Securities and Investments Commission Regulatory Guide 230 has been followed when presenting this information.

Underlying profit

Profit has been adjusted to exclude non-core items to arrive at underlying profit, the result for the ongoing business activities of the Group. These adjustments have been determined on a consistent basis with those made in prior periods. The adjustments made in arriving at underlying profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to audit within the context of the Group statutory audit opinion. The Financial Report is in the process of being audited. Underlying profit is not audited, however, the external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that the adjustments, and the presentation thereof, are based on the guidelines released by the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) and the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA), and have been determined on a consistent basis with those made in prior periods.

The CFO Overview section is reported on an underlying basis.

  • September 2012 v March 2012

Australia

  • Profit increased 10% driven by an uplift in Retail net interest income (with both higher mortgage volumes and improved net interest margin) and a reduction in expenses, partly offset by an uplift in provision charges in Commercial.

International and Institutional Banking

  • Profit decreased 8% due to continued margin compression (as the impact of the Global Financial Crisis repricing partially reversed), strong competition on deposits, lower global markets revenues (after a very strong first half) and higher individual provision charges relating to a few legacy customers in Australia, partially offset by related collective provision releases.

New Zealand

  • Profit increased 4% due to fee income growth and lower provision charges.

Global Wealth and Private Banking

  • Profit was up 19% due to improved insurance results, higher investment earnings and a reduction in operating expenses.

Group Centre

  • The loss was $7 million higher mainly due to increased investment in technology infrastructure, partially offset by higher income on surplus capital and higher realised revenue hedge gains.

  • September 2012 v September 2011

Australia

  • Profit increased 4% driven by net interest income growth, with solid balance sheet growth partially offset by lower margins, and lower provision charges.

International and Institutional Banking

  • Profit increased 3% with strong Global Markets revenues (particularly in the March 2012 half) and strong Transaction Banking volumes, offset by higher provision charges and declining margins in Global Loans.

New Zealand

  • Profit increased 12% on the back of margin improvement and lower provisions.

Global Wealth and Private Banking

  • Profit decreased 1% due to adverse investor sentiment and subdued market returns negatively impacting volumes, partially offset by higher investment earnings.

Group Centre

  • The loss was $111 million lower than the full year of 2011 mainly due to higher earnings on centrally held capital and lower provision charges.

  • September 2012 v March 2012 (including Global Markets)

The increase in net interest income was driven by an increase in average interest earning assets partially offset by a decline in the net interest margin.

Average interest earning assets (+$29.4 billion or 6%)

  • Australia (+ $9.9 billion or 4%): Mortgages up $7.7 billion and Commercial up $2.3 billion, primarily in Business Banking and Regional Commercial Banking.

  • IIB (+$16.8 billion or 8%): Global Markets up $9.3 billion reflecting growth in liquid assets, trading and investment securities, Transaction Banking up $3.6 billion with an increase in trade finance loans in the APEA region and Global Loans was up $3.1 billion with growth mainly in corporate customer lending.

Average deposits and other borrowings (+$17.1 billion or 5%)

  • Australia (+ $7.5 billion or 6%): reflecting increased customer deposits in Retail from higher volumes on Progress, Online and Business Premium Saver products and term deposits, along with growth in deposits in Commercial.

  • IIB (+$6.9 billion or 5%): increased customer deposits, with growth concentrated in the APEA region.

  • New Zealand (+$3.1 billion or 8%): an uplift in customer deposits in Small Business Banking and Retail.

  • Net interest margin (-7 basis points)

  • Funding and asset mix (-2 bps): adverse due to relative growth in lower margin Trade loan assets and in the lower margin Asian geography.

  • Funding costs (-2 bps): lower returns on capital, while wholesale funding costs were broadly flat.

  • Deposit costs (-11 bps): reflecting strong competition for retail and commercial deposits and some mix impact from growth in lower margin term deposits.

  • Assets (+9 bps): primarily benefits of re-pricing mortgages in Australia, partially offset by margin compression in Global Loans.

  • Funding and asset mix (+1 bps): reduced the reliance on more expensive wholesale funding due to increased customer deposits, partially offset by unfavourable asset mix with higher growth in lower margin products (for example Trade Loans).

  • Funding costs (-8 bps): increased wholesale funding costs and lower returns on capital due to declining interest rate environment in Australia and New Zealand.

  • Deposit costs (-10 bps): reflecting strong competition for retail and commercial deposits, predominantly in Australia.

  • Assets (+6 bps): primarily benefits of re-pricing mortgages in Australia, partially offset by margin compression in Global Loans.

CFO OVERVIEW

Credit risk

Overall asset quality has improved during the year, with gross impaired assets reducing by $385 million (7%) to $5,196 million at 30 September 2012. The Group continues to maintain a prudent approach to provisioning, with total provisions for impairment losses of $4,538 million as at 30 September 2012, down $335 million (7%) on 30 September 2011.

The total credit impairment charge increased $35 million (3%) year on year and by $116 million (21%) in the second half, with an increased individual provision charge in the second half relating to a few legacy Institutional Banking loans, partially offset by an associated release of collective provisions held against such exposures.

Individual provision charge, cont’d

September 2012 v March 2012

The total individual provision charge increased $195 million (27%) over the half due to increases in IIB and Australia divisions, partly offset by decreases in New Zealand division. The increase in IIB was driven by a few legacy loans. The increase in Australia division reflects a slight deterioration in the Commercial portfolio.

September 2012 v September 2011

The total individual provision charge increased $426 million (35%) over the year primarily due to increased provisions in IIB, partially offset by a provision decrease in New Zealand division. The increase in IIB of $449 million reflects an increase in provisions on a few legacy loans and lower levels of recoveries and writebacks than in 2011.

September 2012 v March 2012

There was a net release from the collective provision in the second half. The $27 million release in Australia division was primarily driven by releases from the economic cycle balance partially offset by growth, mostly in the Commercial Business. The $185 million release in IIB followed the crystallisation of individual provisions on a few legacy exposures that triggered a release from the concentration risk provision that was held against such exposures, partially offset by underlying growth across the portfolio. The release in New Zealand of $19 million was driven by economic cycle releases and an improving risk profile, partially offset by underlying portfolio growth.

September 2012 v September 2011

There was a net release from the collective provision in 2012. The $38 million release in Australia division was primarily driven by releases from the economic cycle balance partially offset by growth, mostly in the Commercial Business. The release of $300 million in IIB was driven by a reduction in the concentration risk provision associated with a few legacy exposures and an improved risk profile across most portfolios in 2012, partially offset by underlying growth across the portfolio. The release in New Zealand division of $45 million was driven by economic cycle releases and an improving risk profile, partially offset by portfolio growth.

Credit risk on impaired derivatives loss/(gain)

Credit valuation adjustments (CVA) on impaired derivatives are transferred to the individual provision charge in underlying profit (refer also page 78) so that all incurred losses are reflected as credit impairment charges.

Expected loss

Management believe that disclosure of modelled expected loss data for individual provisions will assist in assessing the longer term expected loss rates on the lending portfolio as it removes the volatility in reported earnings created by the use of IFRS credit loss provisioning. The expected loss methodology is used internally for return on equity analysis and economic profit reporting.

The expected loss on the current portfolio as at the end of the period was $1,655 million, a decrease of $24 million over the March 2012 half year. This reflects volume growth offset by lower risk profiles of productive lending in IIB following the migration of a few legacy loans to impaired assets, and continued improvement in the risk profile of productive lending in the New Zealand portfolio.

continued improvement in the risk profile of productive lending in the New Zealand portfolio.

  • September 2012 v March 2012

The effective tax rate was virtually unchanged, down 0.2%.

September 2012 v September 2011

The effective tax rate decreased 0.6% primarily due to a favourable increase in the overseas tax rate differential, including the reduction in the New Zealand corporate tax rate.

Impact of exchange rate movements/revenue hedges

The Group uses derivative instruments to economically hedge against the adverse impact on future offshore revenue streams from exchange rate movements.

Movements in average exchange rates, net of associated revenue hedges, resulted in an increase of $25 million in the Group’s underlying profit after tax for the September 2012 half. This included the impact on earnings (underlying basis) from associated revenue and cost hedges, which increased by $15 million (before tax) over the March 2012 half (September 2012 full year: decrease of $31 million). Hedge revenue is booked in the Group Centre.

Earnings related hedges

The Group has taken out economic hedges against New Zealand dollar and US dollar (and USD linked) revenue and expense streams. New Zealand dollar exposure relates to the New Zealand geography (refer page 73) and the debt component of New Zealand dollar intra-group funding of this business, which amounted to NZD1.766 billion at 30 September 2012. Most of our US dollar earnings are in APEA (refer page 71). Details of these hedges are set out below.

  • Dividend payout ratio is calculated using proposed 2012 final dividend of $2,149 million, which is based on the forecast number of ordinary shares on issue at the dividend record date. Dividend payout ratios for the March 2012 half year and September 2011 full year are calculated using actual dividend paid of $1,769 million and $3,664 million respectively. Dividend payout ratio is calculated by adjusting profit attributable to shareholders of the company by the amount of preference share dividends paid

The Directors propose that a final dividend of 79 cents be paid on each eligible fully paid ANZ ordinary share on 19 December 2012. The proposed 2012 final dividend will be fully franked for Australian tax purposes.

ANZ has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and a Bonus Option Plan (BOP) that will operate in respect of the 2012 final dividend and ANZ intends to provide shares under the DRP and BOP through the issue of new shares. The “Acquisition Price” to be used in determining the number of shares to be provided under the DRP and BOP will be calculated in accordance with the DRP and BOP Terms and Conditions. Refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the calculation of the “Acquisition Price” and the operation of the DRP and BOP.

Economic profit is a risk adjusted profit measure used to evaluate business unit performance and is considered in determining the variable component of remuneration packages. This is used for internal management purposes and is not subject to audit.

Economic profit is calculated via a series of adjustments to underlying profit. The economic credit cost adjustment replaces the actual credit loss charge with internal expected loss based on the average loss per annum on the portfolio over an economic cycle. The benefit of imputation credits is recognised, measured at 70% of Australian tax. The cost of capital is a major component of economic profit. At an ANZ Group level, this is calculated using average ordinary shareholders’ equity (excluding non-controlling interests), multiplied by the cost of capital rate (currently 11%) plus the dividend on preference shares. At a business unit level, capital is allocated based on economic capital, whereby higher risk businesses attract higher levels of capital. This method is designed to help drive appropriate risk management and ensure business returns align with the relevant risk. Key risks covered include credit risk, operating risk, market risk and other risks.

Economic profit has improved half on half due to:

  • An increase in underlying profit;

  • A decrease in the economic credit cost adjustment, reflecting actual credit losses moving closer to the economic expected loss during the half;

  • Higher imputation credits as greater portion of credit adjusted profit is from Australian sources; and

  • All of the above is partially offset by higher capital being held (in non-operating units) in line with prudential requirements.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due, including repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt, or that the Group has insufficient capacity to fund increases in assets. The liquidity risk associated with the timing mismatch of cash flows is inherent in all banking operations and is closely monitored by the Group. The Group maintains a portfolio of liquid assets to manage potential stresses in funding sources. The minimum level of liquidity portfolio assets held is based on a range of ANZ specific and general market liquidity stress scenarios such that our cash flow obligations can continue to be met over the short to medium term.

The Group’s approach to liquidity risk management incorporates the following key components:

  • Scenario modelling of funding sources

  • The Global Financial Crisis highlighted the importance of differentiating between stressed and normal market conditions in a name-specific crisis, including the different behaviour that offshore and domestic wholesale funding markets can exhibit during market stress events. ANZ’s short term liquidity scenario modelling stresses cash flow projections against multiple ‘survival horizons’ over which the Group is required to remain cash flow positive. In addition, longer term scenarios are also in place that measure the structural liquidity position of the balance sheet. Scenarios modelled are either prudential requirements or Board mandated scenarios. Under these scenarios, customer and wholesale balance sheet asset/liability flows are stressed.

  • Liquidity portfolio

The Group holds a diversified portfolio of cash and high credit quality securities that may be sold or pledged to provide same-day liquidity. This portfolio helps protect the Group’s liquidity position by providing cash in a severely stressed environment. All assets held in the prime portfolio are securities eligible for repurchase under agreements with the applicable central bank (i.e. ‘repo eligible’).

The liquidity portfolio is well diversified by counterparty, currency and tenor. Under the liquidity policy framework, securities purchased for ANZ’s liquidity portfolio must be of a similar or better credit quality to ANZ’s external long term or short term credit ratings and continue to be central bank repo eligible.

Supplementing the prime liquid asset portfolio, the Group holds additional liquidity:

  • central bank deposits with the US Federal Reserve, Bank of England, Bank of Japan and European Central Bank of $18.0 billion;

  • Australian Commonwealth and State Government securities and gold of $12.6 billion; and

  • cash and other securities to satisfy local country regulatory liquidity requirements which are not included in the liquid assets.

Regulatory Change

The Basel 3 liquidity proposals remain subject to finalisation from both the Basel Committee and APRA. The proposed changes include the introduction of two new liquidity ratios to measure liquidity risk (the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)). A component of the liquidity required under the proposed standards will likely be met via the previously announced Committed Liquidity Facility from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), however the size and availability of the facility is not yet agreed with APRA and the RBA. While ANZ has an existing stress scenario framework and structural liquidity risk metrics and limits in place, the new requirements proposed are in general more challenging. These changes may impact the future composition and size of ANZ’s liquidity portfolio, the size and composition of the Bank’s funding base and consequently could affect future profitability. APRA is proposing to release further details on its requirements during the first quarter of 2013 following an anticipated release of further information from the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision early in calendar 2013. APRA currently proposes to implement the LCR on 1 January 2015 and the NSFR on 1 January 2018 in line with the Basel Committee's timetable for liquidity risk.

Wholesale Funding

ANZ targets a diversified funding base, avoiding undue concentrations by investor type, maturity, market source and currency. Diversification was further enhanced during the year ended September 2012 with the introduction of a covered bond funding programme.

As at September 2012, the composition of the Group’s wholesale funding profile was:

  • Term wholesale funding with a remaining maturity of more than one year of $68.4 billion (12% of total funding);

  • Term wholesale funding with a remaining maturity of one year or less of $25.4 billion (5% of total funding);

  • Short term wholesale funding (including central bank deposits) of $78.9 billion (14% of total funding); and

  • Shareholders’ equity and hybrids, of $46.3 billion (8% of total funding).

$25.8 billion of term wholesale debt (with a remaining term greater than one year as at 30 September 2012) was issued during the September 2012 financial year, of which $4.5 billion is pre-funding for the September 2013 financial year.

ANZ maintained access to all major global wholesale funding markets during 2012.

  • Benchmark term debt issues were completed in AUD, USD, EUR, JPY, CHF, GBP, CNH and NZD;

  • All short term wholesale funding needs were met;

  • The weighted average tenor of new term debt issuance remained relatively flat at 4.6 years (4.7 years in 2011); and

  • The weighted average cost of new term debt issuance increased further in 2012 as a result of volatility in global markets. Conditions improved towards the end of the year, however average portfolio costs remain substantially above pre-crisis levels and continue to increase as maturing term wholesale funding is replaced at higher spreads.

Further details of the components of capital and the capital adequacy calculation are set out on pages 105 to 109

Basel 2

The Basel 2 Accord principles took effect from 1 January 2008. For calculation of minimum capital requirements under Pillar 1 (Capital Requirements) of the Basel 2 Accord, ANZ has been accredited by Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) to use Advanced Internal Ratings Based (AIRB) methodology for credit risk weighted assets and Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) for the operational risk weighted asset equivalent.

Basel 3

APRA released its new prudential capital standards in September 2012 detailing the implementation of the majority of Basel 3 capital reforms in Australia. APRA is adopting the Basel 3 reforms with increased capital deductions from Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital, an increase in capitalisation rates (including prescribed minimum capital buffers), tighter requirements around new Tier 1 and Tier 2 securities and transitional arrangements for existing Tier 1 and Tier 2 securities that do not conform to the new regulations.

Based upon the APRA Basel 3 standards, ANZ would have reported a 55 bps increase in the CET1 capital ratio for the year ended 30 September 2012, with underlying earnings and capital initiatives (including divestments) outweighing dividends, incremental RWAs and deductions.

With a CET1 capital ratio of 8.02% (Basel 3 international fully harmonised 10.0%), and strong capital generation under APRA Basel 3 capital standards, ANZ is well placed to meet APRA’s early adoption of the Basel 3 capital reforms on 1 January 2013, and the implementation of the capital conservation measures, including the Capital Conservation Buffer, on 1 January 2016. As such, ANZ has removed the 1.5% discount on the Dividend Reinvestment and Bonus Option Plans for the proposed final 2012 dividend.

The above table provides a reconciliation of CET1 under APRA’s Basel 3 prudential capital standards to international “fully harmonised” Basel 3 standards. APRA views the Basel 3 reforms as a minimum requirement and hence has not incorporated some of the concessions proposed in the Basel 3 rules and has also set higher requirements in other areas. As a result, Australian banks’ APRA Basel 3 reported capital ratios will not be directly comparable with international peers.

In addition, APRA is proposing an accelerated implementation timetable for the Basel 3 capital reforms, particularly in relation to minimum capital ratios and deductions which will be effective 1 January 2013. Introduction of the prescribed minimum capital buffers will be fully effective 1 January 2016 and the Leverage Ratio from 1 January 2015.

APRA is still yet to finalise capital standards on the Basel 3 reforms dealing with the improvements in capital disclosures, including the leverage ratio, counterparty credit risk, contingent capital and measures to address systematic and inter-connected risks.

Level 3 Conglomerates (“Level 3”)

APRA has announced that it will proceed with implementing Level 3 Conglomerates prudential standards in 2014, with an update to the March 2010 discussion paper expected in early 2013. The standards will regulate a bancassurance group such as ANZ as a single economic entity with minimum capital requirements and additional reporting on risk exposure levels. Based upon APRA’s March 2010 Discussion Paper, ANZ is not expecting any material impact on its operations.

Life insurance And General Insurance Capital reforms (“LAGIC”)

APRA has undertaken a review of the prudential capital standards as they apply to life insurance and general insurance entities with the view to increasing the level of risk sensitivity and to more closely align the standards to the capital regulations applied to banking groups, particularly for capital targets and class of capital.

APRA released final prudential standards in October 2012 following an extensive period of industry consultation. The proposed reforms will not have a material impact on the capital requirements for ANZ.

  1. ANZ's interpretation of the regulations documented in the Basel Committee publications; "Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems" (June 2011) and "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards" (June 2006)

CFO OVERVIEW

Deferred acquisition costs and deferred income

The Group recognises as assets deferred acquisition costs relating to the acquisition of interest earning assets. The Group also recognises deferred income that is integral to the yield of an originated financial instrument, net of any direct incremental costs. This income is deferred and recognised as net interest income over the expected life of the financial instrument under AASB 139: ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’. Deferred acquisition costs that do not relate to interest earning assets, for example those relating to the acquisition of life investment contracts, are excluded from this analysis.

The balances of deferred acquisition costs and deferred income were:

Following the identification of impairment triggers, an impairment assessment was performed on intangible assets, including internally generated software assets. A detailed review of the recoverable amount was performed, and where the benefits associated with the asset were substantially reduced from what had originally been anticipated, the assets were written down to their recoverable amount. This resulted in the write down of $273 million (pre-tax) during the second half. Given the size and nature of the write-down and the infrequency of such large impairments, the write-down has been excluded from underlying profit.

SEGMENT REVIEW

Segment Performance

In February 2012 the Group announced that it had put in place a new senior management structure and other organisational changes designed to support our super regional aspirations, give focus to areas of growth and opportunity, and to strengthen succession planning within the senior management team.

The Group operates on a divisional structure with Australia, International and Institutional Banking (IIB), New Zealand and Global Wealth and Private Banking being the major operating divisions.

Corporate Banking Australia continues to be reported within IIB, however effective 1 October 2012, Corporate Banking Australia will transfer to the Australia division.

All March 2012 and 2011 comparatives have been restated to reflect the new structure.

The Segment Review section is reported on an underlying basis.

----- End of picture text -----

  • September 2012 v March 2012

Profit increased 10% in the half, with profit before credit impairment and income tax up 11%.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income increased 6% driven by strong growth in average net loans and advances of 4% and a 4 basis points improvement in net interest margin.

  • The 4% growth in average net loans and advances was driven by above system growth in Mortgages, and growth in Business Banking and Small Business Banking. Asset growth was largely self-funded with average deposit growth of 6% in the half with the majority of the deposit growth coming from savings products.

  • Net interest margin increased by 4 basis points as a result of disciplined margin management, partly offset by deposit pricing pressures.

  • Operating expenses were down 1% as result of restructuring activity in the March half driving a reduction in average FTE and benefits from operational efficiencies, procurement saves and lower discretionary spending.

  • Provision for credit impairment increased 16% in the half reflecting higher individual provisions partly offset by lower collective provisions. The individual provision charge was predominantly driven by softer economic conditions in a number of sectors. The collective provision reduction was driven by the release of surplus flood provisions.

  • September 2012 v September 2011

Profit increased 4%, with profit before credit impairment and income tax up 2%.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income increased 2% as a result of strong growth in average net loans and advances of 7% offset by a decline in net interest margin of 12 basis points.

  • Growth in average net loans and advances of 7% was driven by above system growth in Mortgages of 8% and growth in Business Banking of 11%. Asset growth was largely self-funded with average deposit growth of 12% in the year with the majority of the deposit growth coming from savings products.

  • Net interest margin declined 12 basis points over the year as a result of deposit pricing pressures and higher wholesale funding costs partly offset by benefits from asset pricing and disciplined margin management.

  • Operating expenses increased 2% due to higher restructuring costs and annual salary increases, partially offset by the benefits from productivity initiatives (reducing average FTE in the September half) and operational efficiencies, procurement saves and lower discretionary spending throughout the year.

  • Provision for credit impairment decreased 7% reflecting lower collective provisions due to the release of surplus flood provisions partly offset by an increase in individual provisions due to a large provision raised for a merchant facility and softer economic conditions.

Retail update

As a result of a targeted focus on higher value customer segments, growth in share of wallet and above system growth in both Household Lending and Household Deposits, ANZ has continued to grow Traditional Banking market share and is now ranked 2[nd] amongst peers for this measure[1] . ANZ achieved market recognition and was awarded Money Magazine’s Bank of the Year and Home Lender of the Year. As part of Australia’s transformation agenda, we are continuing to transform our distribution channels with 46 new look branches expected to be completed by end of 2012. Our digital agenda has strong momentum with increased self service capability on internet banking and we have expanded our market-leading goMoney product which has over 780,000 registered users and a new Android version.

Commercial update

Commercial continues to focus on growing the business through targeted customer acquisition, increased cross-sell and leveraging ANZ’s super regional footprint to meet the needs of our customers. As a result, customer numbers grew by a net ~30k throughout the year and the cross-sell of Institutional products increased by ~25%. Cross border referrals also grew by ~40%. ANZ is investing to enhance the customer experience and improve banker productivity. ANZ achieved market recognition and was awarded Capital CFO’s Business Bank of the Year in 2012.

IIB continued to build momentum on the super regional strategy, focusing on the priority products of Foreign Exchange, Capital Markets, Cash Management and Trade and priority customer segments of Resources, Utilities and Infrastructure, Agribusiness and Financial Institutions to drive growth.

The results reflected greater customer connectivity and an increasingly diversified geographic mix. Cross-border network revenues for the September 2012 year reached $1.4 billion, up 16% compared to the prior year. The APEA based businesses produced 14% income growth for the September 2012 year, representing 43% of total IIB income. While negatively impacted by the individual provision charges relating to a small number of legacy Global Institutional customers in Australia, strong underlying credit quality has been maintained.

September 2012 v March 2012

Profit decreased 8%, impacted by continued margin compression in lending books and higher individual provision charges in the Global Institutional business in Australia.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income declined 2% with net interest margin (excluding Global Markets) 33 basis points lower. This reflected higher funding costs and increased price competition for customer deposits and loans in Australia. The change in the funding and asset mix also lowered margin by 8 basis points with an increased proportion of wholesale funding. The above offset the benefits from the volume growth. Overall customer deposits increased 7% and net loans and advances 5%, with growth concentrated in the APEA region.

  • Other external operating income was 3% lower. Global Markets’ other income was 19% lower with softening in the trading conditions together with a normalised flow in capital markets. Asia Partnerships’ contribution was higher due to higher earnings, the gain arising from dilution of our Bank of Tianjin stake and the impact of the impairment charge in the March 2012 half year

relating to the carrying value of our investment in Saigon Securities Incorporation.

  • Operating expenses were 1% lower. Cost savings from productivity initiatives and utilisation of our hub resources were partially offset by higher amortisation charges and restructuring costs. Targeted investments continued to be made in front line capabilities and cash management platforms across Asia.

  • Provision charges for credit impairment increased 44%, driven by individual provision charges on a few legacy Global Institutional loans in Australia, partially offset by collective provision releases from associated concentration risk provisions.

  • September 2012 v September 2011

Profit increased 3%, impacted by higher individual provision charges in the Global Institutional businesses.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income increased 5%. Solid growth in APEA accounted for most of the overall increases in customer deposits (up 10%) and net loans and advances (up 11%). However, net interest margin (excluding Global Markets) declined 40 basis points reflecting the higher funding cost, margin compression in the competitive environment in Australia and the impact of the change in lending mix tilted towards Asia where margins are lower.

  • Other external operating income increased 9% mainly from increases in Global Institutional in APEA (in particular, Transaction Banking and Global Markets).

  • Operating expenses were up 6%, driven by higher amortisation charges and restructuring costs with continued re-investment in the business, partially offset by cost savings from productivity gains and greater utilisation of our hub resources.

  • Provision charges for credit impairment were 46% higher, driven by individual provision charges on a few legacy Global Institutional loans in Australia, partially offset by collective provision releases from associated concentration risk provisions.

Trading and Balance Sheet income

1.

  • Sales represents direct client flow business on core products such as fixed income, FX, commodities and capital markets

  • 2.

Trading primarily represents management of the Group’s strategic positions and those taken as part of direct client sales flow 3.

Balance sheet represents hedging of interest rate risk on the Group’s loan and deposit books and the management of the Group’s liquidity portfolio

Global Market Analysis

  • Trading revenues were lower in the September 2012 half with fewer opportunities as the interest rate markets stabilised.

Global Markets continued to focus on the priority customers, products, and regions recording strong growth in FX and in APEA.

  • September 2012 v September 2011

  • September 2012 v March 2012

Underlying income increased 14% driven by the following key factors:

Underlying income decreased 11% during the September half, continuing the trend in recent years of being lower than the March half. Key factors that affected the result were:

  • FX was up 17% with strong growth across all regions.

  • Regionally APEA continued to grow strongly up 26% as continued focus on the super regional strategy provides a more diversified revenue base.

  • Sales income eased from a strong March half but was steady compared to the September 2011 half year.

  • Sales income increased 10% with 18% growth in APEA.

  • Balance sheet trading experienced solid growth with more stable markets and tightening credit spreads.

  • Trading and Balance Sheet results experienced strong growth as volatility reduced from 2011.

September 2012 v March 2012

Profit increased 2% as balance sheet growth, from gains in market share in Retail and Small Business Banking, together with strong cost control and credit risk management moderated the negative impact of margin contraction.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Lending volumes increased 3%, driven primarily by above system growth in mortgages.

  • Strong customer deposits growth (3%), primarily from Retail and Small Business Banking, resulted in loan growth being predominantly self funded in the half.

  • Net interest margin declined 7 basis points driven by competition for deposits, higher term funding costs and lower margins in the CommAgri lending book.

  • Other operating income increased 4%, with growth reflecting good transaction volumes, earthquake insurance recoveries and seasonally higher Cards income.

  • Operating expenses decreased 1%, reflecting productivity gains realised by simplifying the business and tight management of discretionary expenditure. The cost to income ratio is now 43.8%, reducing 30 basis points over the half.

  • Credit quality continues to strengthen. The individual provision loss rate is down 6 basis points to 0.26% with improvement achieved across the book. Strong credit processes have seen delinquency rates decline and recovery and rehabilitation rates improve. The collective provision release reflected continued improvement in credit quality, although at a slower rate from that in the March 2012 half.

Retail

Commercial

Profit increased 1%, with revenue impacted by net interest margin contraction. The business has focused on improving the quality of the lending book, both in new lending and rehabilitation of impaired loans, and this has driven an improvement in returns from the business. Over the second half, non-performing loans as a percentage of net advances decreased 30 basis points to 1.58%.

September 2012 v September 2011

Profit increased by 11% driven by strong balance sheet growth, improved margins, lower provisions and a one off benefit from a lower tax rate.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Lending volumes increased 3%, driven primarily by strong growth in mortgages.

  • Strong customer deposits growth (9%), driven by Retail and Small Business Banking, resulted in an improvement in the funding mix year on year.

  • Net interest margin improved by 10 basis points, driven by a favorable lending mix, a reduction in unproductive balances and lower mortgage break costs.

  • Productivity initiatives enabled costs to be held flat during the year, resulting in the cost to income ratio falling 100bps to 43.9%.

  • Provisioning was 12% lower over the year, reflecting an improvement in the quality of the loan book and improved recovery rates. The individual provision loss rate is down 9 basis points to 0.29% and net impaired assets fell 24% to represent 1.11% of net advances.

  • Tax benefit of NZD26 million from the reduction in the corporate tax rate from 30% to 28% during the year.

Profit increased 5% from market share gains in mortgages, increased fee income and strong cost control from efficiency initiatives.

----- End of picture text -----

September 2012 v March 2012

Profit was higher by 19% mainly due to improved insurance results, higher investment earnings and a reduction in operating expenses.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net funds management and insurance income improved by 4% as a result of favourable insurance results and improved capital investment earnings offset by lower funds management and advice income which was adversely impacted by ongoing investment market uncertainty. The Insurance business had favourable claims experience offset by higher lapses.

  • Operating expenses fell by 3% as a result of business simplification initiatives.

Funds Management and Insurance

Funds Management and Insurance profit increased by 15%. The key factors affecting the results were:

  • Net insurance income improved by 4% as a result of continued growth in the inforce book and lower insurance claims, partially offset by higher lapses.

  • Net funds management income decreased by 12% mainly due to adverse investor sentiment impacting volumes and margins.

  • Capital investment earnings improved by 69% primarily driven by the impact of interest and inflation rates on insurance and annuity reserves.

  • Decline in net advice income by 14% was mostly due to higher distribution related costs.

  • Operating expenses declined by 3% as a result of business simplification initiatives undertaken in the Australian businesses.

Private Banking

Private Banking profit increased by $9 million. The key factors affecting the results were:

  • Net interest income declined by 8% mainly as a result of higher funding costs, whilst other operating income improved by 5% as the March 2012 half results included a one-off asset impairment charge of $6 million.

  • Private Banking Asia businesses’ profit increased by $6 million mainly as a result of higher sales volume.

September 2012 v September 2011

Profit was 1% lower driven by adverse investor sentiment and subdued market returns negatively impacting volumes and resulting in lower net interest and other operating income.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income and other operating income declined by 9% and 10% respectively as a result of challenging market conditions in 2012.

  • Net funds management and insurance income increased by 2% mainly due to higher capital investment earnings as a result of the positive impact of interest and inflation rates on insurance and annuity reserves.

  • Flat operating expenses were mainly driven by the investment in growth initiatives, partially offset by benefits realised from business simplification initiatives.

Funds Management and Insurance

Funds Management and Insurance profit increased by 1%. The key factors affecting the results were:

  • Higher net funds management and insurance income by 1% due to higher capital investment earnings offset by the impact of lower volume and margin compression.

  • Increase in operating expenses by 2% was mainly driven by investments in growth initiatives, partially offset by benefits realised from business simplification initiatives.

Private Banking

Private Banking profit decreased by 29%. The key factors affecting the results were:

  • Whilst the core Private Banking profits in Australia increased by 3% year on year, net interest income and other operating income declined by 9% and 10% respectively as a result of reduced volumes in the investment lending business and reduced trading volumes in E*Trade.

  • Private Banking Asia businesses’ profit improved by 50% mainly due to higher sales volume.

  • Operating expenses declined by 4% as a result of business simplification benefits.

  • Operating expenses were lower by 3% driven by business simplification initiatives.

**Embedded value as at September 20128 **

8. Embedded value represents the present value of future profits, franking credits and the release of capital in respect of the funds management and insurance business in force at the valuation date. Cashflows projected using best estimate assumptions are discounted at 8.00% to 9.50%. The embedded value also includes adjusted net assets. The Lenders Mortgage Insurance business is not included. The impact of new insurance regulatory capital requirements in Australia and New Zealand will not materially impact the total value 9.

Value of new business represents the present value of future profits less the cost of capital arising from the new business written over the period 10.

Expected return represents expected increase in value over the period

11.

Experience deviations and assumption changes arise from deviations from and changes to best estimate assumptions underlying the prior year embedded value. The adverse movement for Australian business is primarily due to higher lapse assumptions on both Funds Management and Insurance business, partially offset by expense reductions for the Funds Management business. The favourable movement for New Zealand’s business is due to improvements in lapse and mortality rates in Bancassurance Business, partially offset by adverse lapse assumption changes for the adviser-based business

12. Risk discount rates have decreased by 96-125 bps over the twelve month period, leading to a positive impact

13. Net transfer represents net capital movements over the period including capital injections, transfer of cash dividends and value of franking credits. In the past 12 months, net capital of $111 million and franking credits of $58 million were transferred from the business to the ANZ Group

1. Includes offsetting variances between net interest and other income as a result of elimination entries associated with the consolidation of OnePath Australia. This elimination has increased by $53 million in 2012

September 2012 v March 2012

The underlying loss of $27 million was $7 million higher than the prior half, with higher expense partly offset by higher income.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Operating income improved $28 million due to higher earnings on central capital and higher realised revenue hedge profits.

  • Operating expenses increased $32 million largely as a result of increased investment in technology infrastructure.

September 2012 v September 2011

The underlying loss of $47 million was $111 million lower than the prior year, with higher income and lower credit impairment charges, partially offset by higher expense.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Operating income improved $141 million largely due to higher earnings on central capital partly offset by lower realised revenue hedge profits in 2012 and the 2011 benefit from the sale of Martin Place.

  • Operating expenses increased $52 million largely as a result of increased investment in technology infrastructure.

  • Provision for credit impairment reduced $40 million due to a centrally held provision made in 2011 for emerging issues resulting from global uncertainty.

PROFIT RECONCILIATION

Non-IFRS information

The Group provides two additional measures of performance in the Results Announcement which are prepared on a basis other than in accordance with the accounting standards; namely underlying profit and economic profit. The guidance provided in Australian Securities and Investments Commission Regulatory Guide 230 has been followed when presenting this information.

Adjustments between statutory profit and underlying profit

Profit has been adjusted to exclude non-core items to arrive at underlying profit, the result for the ongoing business activities of the Group. These adjustments have been determined on a consistent basis with those made in prior periods. The adjustments made in arriving at underlying profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to audit within the context of the Group statutory audit opinion. The Financial Report is in the process of being audited. Underlying profit is not audited, however, the external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that the adjustments, and the presentation thereof, are based on the guidelines released by the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) and the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA), and have been determined on a consistent basis with those made in prior periods.

Explanation of adjustments between statutory profit and underlying profit

  • Gain on sale of Visa shares

  • During the period the Group disposed of its equity interest in Visa International which it has held since Visa’s initial IPO in 2008. The gain recognised on the sale has not been recognised in underlying profit as the gain is not reflective of the core business performance.

• New Zealand Simplification programme

The New Zealand Simplification programme (which commenced in 2011) will deliver a single core banking system, a single banking brand and an optimised branch network in New Zealand. This programme is expected to result in lower operational and technology costs. Costs of $59 million after tax ($83 million pre-tax) and $46 million after tax ($63 million pre-tax) were incurred in the September 2012 and March 2012 halves respectively. This includes a restructuring provision raised in September 2012 upon the announcement of the brand and branch phase of the programme. Given the size and significance of the changes to the operations in New Zealand, the associated costs have been excluded from underlying profit.

• Acquisition related adjustments

The second half includes adjustments of $13 million ($19 million pre-tax) including the following:

PROFIT RECONCILIATION

Explanation of adjustments between statutory profit and underlying profit, cont’d

These items are not recognised in underlying profit as they are not representative of the Group’s expected ongoing financial performance following integration.

  • Treasury shares adjustment

ANZ shares held by ANZ in the consolidated managed funds and life business are deemed to be Treasury shares. Realised and unrealised gains and losses from these shares and dividends received on these shares are reversed as these are not permitted to be recognised in income for statutory reporting purposes. In deriving underlying profit, these earnings are included to ensure there is no asymmetrical impact on the Group’s profits because the Treasury shares support policyholder liabilities which are revalued in deriving income. Accordingly, an adjustment to statutory profit of $26 million gain after tax ($28 million gain pre-tax) has been recognised.

• Changes in New Zealand tax legislation

In 2010 legislation was passed to reduce the New Zealand corporate tax rate from 30% to 28% and to remove the ability to claim tax depreciation on buildings with an estimated useful life greater than 50 years, effective for the 2011-2012 income tax year. A residual component relating to the impact on the value of deferred tax was recognised in 2011. There was no impact in the current year.

  • Economic hedging – fair value gains/(losses) and mark-to-market adjustments on revenue and net investment hedges

The Group enters into economic hedges to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange risk. The application of AASB 139: Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement results in fair value gains/(losses) and mark-to-market adjustments being recognised within the income statement. ANZ includes the mark-to-market adjustments relating to economic hedges as an adjustment to underlying profit as the profit or loss resulting from the transactions will reverse over time to match with the profit or loss from the economically hedged item as part of underlying profit. This includes income/(loss) arising from:

  • approved classes of derivatives not designated in accounting hedge relationships but which are considered to be economic hedges, including hedges of NZD and USD revenue;

  • the use of the fair value option (principally arising from the valuation of the ‘own name’ credit spread on debt issues designated at fair value); and

  • ineffectiveness from designated accounting cash flow, fair value and net investment hedges.

In the table below, funding and lending related swaps are primarily foreign exchange rate swaps which are being used to convert the proceeds of foreign currency debt issuances into floating rate Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar debt (‘funding swaps’). As these swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting, movements in the fair values are recorded in the Income Statement. The main drivers of these fair values are currency basis spreads and the Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar fluctuation against other major funding currencies. This category also includes economic hedges of select structured finance and leasing transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The main drivers of these fair value adjustments are Australian and New Zealand yield curves.

Losses in the second half of 2012 from funding and lending related swaps have been strongly impacted by the falling yield curves in both Australia and New Zealand. Gains seen in the first half of 2012 from widening AUD/USD currency spreads have moderated in the second half of 2012 as basis spread volatility eased in the period. Throughout 2012 the continuing strong Australian dollar drove losses from the currency components of the Group’s offshore funding hedges, albeit principally in the first half of 2012.

Losses arising from the use of the fair value option on own name debt hedged by derivatives have been driven by contraction of credit spreads in the first half of 2012. First half losses were partially reversed as spreads widened slightly in the second half of 2012.

The gains from revenue hedges for 2012 were principally attributed to the appreciation of the AUD against the USD in the first half of 2012. This was partially reduced in the second half of 2012 as a result of the appreciation of the NZD against the AUD.

PROFIT RECONCILIATION

Explanation of adjustments between statutory profit and underlying profit, cont’d

  • Capitalised software impairment

Following the identification of impairment triggers, an impairment assessment was performed on intangible assets, including internally generated software assets. A detailed review of the recoverable amount was performed, and where the benefits associated with the asset were substantially reduced from what had originally been anticipated, the assets were written down to their recoverable amount. This resulted in the write down of $220 million after tax ($273 million pre-tax) during the second half. Given the size and nature of the write-down and the infrequency of such large impairments, the write-down has been excluded from underlying profit.

  • NZ Managed Funds impacts

During 2011, the collateralised debt obligations held within the Diversified Yield Fund and the Regular Income Fund were sold and the funds wound up. This resulted in a profit after tax of $39 million ($61 million pre-tax). There was no material impact in the current year.

  • Credit risk on impaired derivatives (nil profit after tax impact)

Reclassification of a charge to income for credit valuation adjustments on defaulted and impaired derivative exposures to provision for credit impairment of $28 million (Mar 2012 half: $32 million; Sep 2011 full year: $17 million reversal). The reclassification has been made to reflect the manner in which the defaulted and impaired derivatives are managed.

  • Policyholders Tax Gross up (nil profit after tax impact)

For statutory reporting purposes policyholder income tax and other related taxes paid on behalf of policyholders are included in net income from wealth management and the Group’s income tax expense. The gross up of $63 million (Mar 2012 half: $88 million; Sep 2011 full year: $208 million) has been excluded from the underlying results as it does not reflect the underlying performance of the business which is assessed on a net of policyholder tax basis.

  • Non continuing businesses

In 2009, Global Institutional reviewed its existing business portfolio in light of its new strategic and business goals to determine the optimal structure for the division. As a result, new business ceased in several product areas, including the Alternative Assets and Private Equity businesses. The Group’s structured credit intermediation trades are also included within non continuing businesses and will result in the profit/(loss) fluctuating as the credit risk adjustment is impacted by market movements in credit spreads and exchange rate movements. These have been excluded from underlying earnings in line with how management assesses the performance of the underlying business. A summary of the impact of non continuing businesses including structured credit intermediation trades follows:

PROFIT RECONCILIATION

Structured credit intermediation trades

ANZ entered into a series of structured credit intermediation trades from 2004 to 2007. The underlying structures involve credit default swaps (CDS) over synthetic collateralised debt obligations (CDOs), portfolios of external collateralised loan obligations (CLOs) or specific bonds/floating rate notes (FRNs). ANZ sold protection using credit default swaps over these structures and then to mitigate risk, purchased protection via credit default swaps over the same structures from eight US financial guarantors.

Being derivatives, both the sold protection and purchased protection are marked-to-market. Prior to the commencement of the global credit crisis, movements in valuations of these positions were not significant and largely offset each other in income. Following the onset of the credit crisis, the purchased protection has provided only a partial offset against movements in valuation of the sold protection because:

  • one of the counterparties to the purchased protection defaulted and many of the remaining were downgraded; and

  • a credit valuation adjustment is applied to the remaining counterparties to the purchased protection reflective of changes to their credit worthiness.

ANZ is actively monitoring this portfolio with a view to reducing the exposure via termination and restructuring of both the bought and sold protection if and when ANZ deems it cost effective relative to the perceived risk associated with a specific trade or counterparty. Costs were incurred in prior periods managing these positions. The notional amount on the outstanding sold trades at Sep 2012 was US$8.0 billion (Mar 2012: US$8.1 billion; Sep 2011: $8.3 billion).

The cumulative costs include realised losses relating to restructuring of trades in order to reduce risks and realised losses on termination of sold protection trades. It also includes foreign exchange hedging losses.

The credit risk expense on structured credit derivatives remains volatile reflecting the impact of market movements in credit spreads and AUD/USD rates. It is likely there will continue to be volatility in this market value.

The (gain)/loss included in income for these transactions is set out below.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of preparation

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

  • have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of Australian Accounting Standards (AASs);

  • should be read in conjunction with the ANZ Annual Report for the year ended 30 September 2012 when released and any public announcements made by the Parent Entity and its controlled entities (the Group) for the year ended 30 September 2012 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules;

  • do not include all notes of the type normally included in the annual financial report;

  • are presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated; and

  • were approved by the Board of Directors on 24 October 2012.

i) Accounting policies

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies consistent with those applied in the 30 September 2011 Annual Financial Report. All new AASs and Australian Accounting Standards Board Interpretations applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 October 2011 have been applied to the Group effective from the required date of application. The initial application of these Standards and Interpretations has not had a material impact on the financial position or the financial results of the Group. Further details of the Group’s accounting policies will be included in the ANZ Annual Report for the year ended 30 September 2012 when released.

ii) Use of estimates, assumptions and judgments

The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires the use of management judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and the application of accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates and the estimates may require review in future periods.

A review of the recoverable amount of software assets indicated an impairment of certain software assets. Significant judgement was required in determining the recoverable amount of these assets before recognising an impairment of $273 million (before tax) in the September 2012 half year.

Further details of the Group’s critical estimates and judgements will be contained in the Group’s financial report for the year ended 30 September 2012 when released.

iii) Comparatives

Certain amounts in the comparative information have been reclassified to conform with current period financial statement presentations.

During the current year, the reporting treatment of collateral received on derivative asset positions and collateral posted on derivative liability positions has changed to better reflect the nature of the asset/liabilities and to be consistent with market practice. This has resulted in the following changes to previously reported balance sheet classifications, with no impact on net assets.

2. Dividend payout ratio is calculated using proposed 2012 final dividend of $2,149 million (not shown in the above table). The proposed 2012 final dividend of $2,149 million is based on the forecast number of ordinary shares on issue at the dividend record date. Dividend payout ratios for the March 2012 half year and September 2011 full year were calculated using actual dividend paid of $1,769 million and $3,664 million respectively. Dividend payout ratio is calculated by adjusting profit attributable to shareholders of the company by the amount of preference shares dividend paid

Ordinary Shares

The Directors propose that a final dividend of 79 cents be paid on each eligible fully paid ANZ ordinary share on 19 December 2012. The proposed 2012 final dividend will be fully franked for Australian tax purposes.

ANZ has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and a Bonus Option Plan (BOP) that will operate in respect of the 2012 final dividend. For the 2012 final dividend, ANZ intends to provide shares under the DRP and BOP through the issue of new shares. The “Acquisition Price” to be used in determining the number of shares to be provided under the DRP and BOP will be calculated by reference to the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average sale price of fully paid ANZ ordinary shares sold on the ASX during the seven trading days commencing on 16 November 2012, and then rounded to the nearest whole cent. Shares provided under the DRP and BOP will rank equally in all respects with existing fully paid ANZ ordinary shares. Election notices from shareholders wanting to commence, cease or vary their participation in the DRP or BOP for the 2012 final dividend must be received by ANZ's Share Registrar by 5.00 pm (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on 14 November 2012. Subject to receiving effective contrary instructions from the shareholder, dividends payable to shareholders with a registered address in Great Britain (including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) or New Zealand will be converted to Pounds Sterling and New Zealand dollars respectively at an exchange rate calculated at 5.00 pm (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on 16 November 2012.

  • The US Stapled Trust securities (issued on 27 November 2003) convert to ordinary shares in 2053 at the market price of ANZ ordinary shares less 5% unless redeemed or bought back prior to that date. The US Stapled Trust security issue can be de-stapled and the investor left with coupon paying preference shares at ANZ’s discretion under certain circumstances. AASB 133 requires that potential ordinary shares for which conversion to ordinary share capital is mandatory must be included in the calculation of diluted EPS

4. UK Hybrid (issued on 15 June 2007) is a GBP denominated stapled security that was due to convert to ordinary shares on the fifth anniversary at the market price of ANZ ordinary shares less 5% (subject to certain conversion conditions). Immediately prior to conversion on 15 June 2012 the securities were redeemed by ANZ for cash at face value. AASB 133 requires that potential ordinary shares for which conversion to ordinary share capital is mandatory must be considered in the calculation of diluted EPS up to the date of conversion

5. There are three “Tranches” of convertible preference shares. The first are convertible preference shares issued on 30 September 2008 and convert to ordinary shares on 16 June 2014 at the market price of ANZ ordinary shares less 2.5% (subject to certain conversion conditions). The second are convertible preference shares issued on 17 December 2009 and convert to ordinary shares on 15 December 2016 at the market price of ANZ ordinary shares less 1.0% (subject to certain conversion conditions). The third are convertible preference shares issued on 28 September 2011 that convert to ordinary shares on 1 September 2019 at the market price of ANZ ordinary shares less 1% (subject to certain conversion conditions). AASB 133 requires that potential ordinary shares for which conversion to ordinary share capital is mandatory must be included in the calculation of diluted EPS

Amounts are transferred from the share option reserve to other equity accounts when the options and rights are exercised and to retained earnings when lapsed or forfeited after vesting. Forfeited options and rights due to termination prior to vesting are credited to the income statement

4. The available-for-sale revaluation reserve arises on the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets. Where a revalued financial asset is sold, that portion of the reserve which relates to that financial asset is realised and recognised in the income statement. Where a revalued financial asset is impaired, that portion of the reserve which relates to that financial asset is recognised in the income statement

5. The hedging reserve represents hedging gains and losses recognised on the effective portion of cash flow hedges. The cumulative deferred gain or loss on the hedge is recognised in the income statement when the hedged transaction impacts profit or loss, consistent with the applicable accounting policy

6.

ANZ has taken the option available under AASB 119 to recognise actuarial gains/losses on defined benefit superannuation plans directly in retained earnings

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

13. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

There are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims against the Group, the aggregate amount of which cannot readily be quantified. Appropriate legal advice has been obtained and, in the light of such advice, provisions as deemed necessary have been made. In some instances we have not disclosed the estimated financial impact as this may prejudice the interests of the Group.

Refer to Note 43 of the 2012 ANZ Annual Financial Report (when released) for a description of current contingent liabilities and contingent assets.

Exception fees class action

In 2010, litigation funder IMF (Australia) Ltd commenced a class action against ANZ. The action is claimed to be on behalf of approximately 38,000 ANZ customers for more than $50 million in exception fees claimed to have been charged to those customers. The case is at an early stage. ANZ is defending it. There is a risk that further claims could emerge.

Security recovery actions

Various claims have been made or are anticipated, arising from security recovery actions taken to resolve impaired assets over recent years. ANZ will defend these claims and any future claims.

14. Changes in composition of the Group

There were no material entities acquired or disposed during the year ended 30 September 2012 or for the year ended 30 September 2011.

**Table 4: Subordinated notes3 **

For capital adequacy calculation purposes, subordinated note issues are reduced by 20% of the original amount over the last four years to maturity and are limited to 50% of Tier 1 capital.

1. Calculation based on prudential requirements

2.

3.

Under Basel 2, this consists of the surplus of the general reserve for impairment of financial assets, net of tax and/or the provisions attributable to the standardised portfolio

  • The fair value adjustment is excluded for prudential purposes as the prudential standard only permits inclusion of cash received and makes no allowance for hedging

3.

From 1 January 2013 transitional treatment for existing securities on issue will apply. The maximum that can be included in the respective capital base is 90% of the volume of eligible transitional Tier 1 and Tier 2 securities on issue at 1 January 2013. The cap will reduce by 10 percentage points each year until 1 January 2022

Excludes potential impacts arising from APRA’s yet to be released Basel 3 liquidity reforms

Table 11: Hybrid Tier 1 Capital

ANZ raises hybrid Tier 1 capital to further strengthen the Group’s capital base and supplement its Common Equity Tier 1 capital position, ensuring compliance with APRA’s prudential capital requirements and meeting Group operating targets for Tier 1. The total amount of qualifying hybrid Tier 1 capital is currently known as Residual Tier 1 capital which is limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital. Innovative Tier 1 capital, a sub category of Residual Tier 1 capital, is limited to 15% of Tier 1 capital. On 28 September 2012, APRA released final prudential standards implementing the Basel 3 framework, with Residual Tier 1 capital replaced by additional Tier 1 capital, and the distinction between Innovative and Non-Innovative instruments abolished and the current limits removed, with effect from 1 January 2013.

As at 30 September 2012, ANZ’s hybrid Tier 1 capital usage and instrument details were as follows:

AAS - Australian Accounting Standards.

AASB - Australian Accounting Standards Board.

Collective provision is the Provision for credit losses that are inherent in the portfolio but not able to be individually identified. A collective provision may only be recognised when a loss event has already occurred. Losses expected as a result of future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised.

Customer deposits represent term deposits, other deposits bearing interest, deposits not bearing interest and borrowing corporations debt excluding securitisation deposits.

Economic Profit is a risk adjusted profit measure. Economic Profit is determined by adjusting underlying accounting profit with economic credit costs, the benefit of imputation credits and the cost of capital. This measure is used to evaluate business unit performance and is included in determining the variable component of remuneration packages.

Expected loss is determined based on the expected average annual loss of principal over the economic cycle for the current risk profile of the lending portfolio.

IFRS – International Financial Reporting Standards.

Impaired assets are those financial assets where doubt exists as to whether the full contractual amount will be received in a timely manner, or where concessional terms have been provided because of the financial difficulties of the customer. Financial Assets are impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of a loss event that occurred prior to the reporting date, and that loss event has had an impact, which can be reliably estimated, on the expected future cash flows of the individual asset or portfolio of assets.

Impaired commitments and contingencies comprises undrawn facilities and contingent facilities where the customer’s status is defined as impaired.

Impaired loans comprises drawn facilities where the customer’s status is defined as impaired.

Individual provision charge is the amount of expected credit losses on financial instruments assessed for impairment on an individual basis (as opposed to on a collective basis). It takes into account expected cash flows over the lives of those financial instruments.

Liquid assets are cash and cash equivalent assets. Cash equivalent assets are highly liquid investments with short periods to maturity, are readily convertible to cash at ANZ’s discretion and are subject to an insignificant risk of material changes in value.

Net interest average margin is net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets.

Net loans and advances includes gross loans and advances and acceptances and capitalized brokerage/mortgage origination fees, less unearned income and provisions for credit impairment.

Net tangible assets equals share capital and reserves attributable to shareholders of the Group less preference share capital and unamortised intangible assets (including goodwill and software).

Operating expenses excludes the provision for impairment of loans and advances charge.

Operating income includes net interest and other operating income.

Repo discount is a discount applicable on the repurchase by a central bank of an eligible security pursuant to a repurchase agreement.

Restructured items comprise facilities in which the original contractual terms have been modified for reasons related to the financial difficulties of the customer. Restructuring may consist of reduction of interest, principal or other payments legally due, or an extension in maturity materially beyond those typically offered to new facilities with similar risk.

Revenue includes net interest income and other operating income.

Underlying profit is a measure of profit which is prepared on a basis other than in accordance with accounting standards. Underlying profit represents the directors’ assessment of the profit for the ongoing business activities of the Group, and is based on guidelines published by the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) and the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA). ANZ applies this guidance by adjusting statutory profit to exclude non-core items to arrive at underlying profit, the result for the ongoing business activities of the Group. These adjustments have been determined on a consistent basis with those made in prior periods. The adjustments made in arriving at underlying profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to audit within the context of the Group statutory audit opinion. The Financial Report is in the process of being audited. Underlying profit is not audited, however, the external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that the adjustments, and the presentation thereof, are based on the guidelines released by the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) and the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA), and have been determined on a consistent basis with those made in prior periods.
