During World War I, ANZ understood the importance of supporting Anzac and what has become known as the Anzac Spirit.

We are very proud that ANZ is in a position to keep the past and present together over the period of the Anzac Centenary. ANZ will be providing $10 million to the Anzac Centenary Public Fund commemorating 100 years of Anzac and supporting a number of national Anzac Centenary projects, amongst which is the refurbishment of the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne.

2014 IN REVIEW

"Together" is a word that means a lot more to us than simply a partnership. It’s more than just working with our customers to help them save, build their businesses and embark on new ventures.

To us, "together" means the support that we provide to make that work easier.

To us, "together" means the support that we provide to make that work easier. It’s about being part of the team that the people and organisations we work with can rely on to provide better ways to save, build or innovate. It’s helping

them to be more efficient and spend more time on what’s important to them.

This year we focused on the roles ANZ plays as facilitators, connectors and expediters. In this review we’re developing a social perspective on the bank’s actions and the flow-on effects to individuals, businesses and governments throughout the region.

The improvements might have come from our new Smart ATMs – saving people time at a branch – or our international transfer systems, which are designed to make sure money gets where it needs to be faster than ever before.

ANZ’s vision of social banking is to make distance more manageable and put more time in the hands of people who need it most.

STRATEGY & PERFORMANCE

ANZ IS EXECUTING A FOCUSED STRATEGY TO BUILD THE BEST CONNECTED, MOST RESPECTED BANK ACROSS THE ASIA PACIFIC REGION.

==> picture [864 x 208] intentionally omitted <==

GOAL

ANZ is executing a focused strategy to build the best connected, most respected bank across the Asia Pacific region. This goal is based on our belief that the future of our home markets of Australia and New Zealand are increasingly linked to the fast growing region of Asia through trade, capital and wealth flows. We also believe that people want a bank that understands their specific needs, and increasingly can meet these needs in more than one market through a variety of means. By building a Super Regional bank, ANZ

By building a Super Regional bank, ANZ can better serve our customers and achieve superior financial returns over the longer term.

can better serve our customers and achieve superior financial returns over the longer term. ANZ’s aspiration is to have 25 to 30% of ANZ Group profit after tax sourced from Asia Pacific, Europe and America revenues by 2017. ANZ has made good progress towards this goal.

ACHIEVEMENTS

We continue to build stronger positions in our home markets of Australia and New Zealand. This year another 106,000 retail and commercial clients joined our bank in Australia, contributing to solid market share gains, while our focus on serving ANZ customers sees us protecting more customers than ever through our Wealth business. Customer satisfaction improved in all our segments, including Institutional where we regained the number one Lead Bank position as measured by the Peter Lee survey[1] . In New Zealand, we saw further productivity benefits from our Simplification program, along with market share gains in key cities and an improvement in customer satisfaction.

Our Institutional business in Asia continues to grow quickly, focused on the fast-growing cross-border trade and capital flows, and is today ranked as the fourth largest regional Institutional bank by the Greenwich Asia survey[2] . Revenue has consistently grown at double-digit rates, with a compound annual growth rate of 23% over the past five years. Cross-border revenues grew at 9% for the year, and profit was up 25%. The Division’s revenue mix has diversified substantially, with

more significant contributions from Foreign Exchange, Trade and Cash Management and Debt Capital Markets.

Our operations strategy is delivering economies of scale, speed to market and a stronger control environment, resulting in better quality, lower unit costs, and lower risk. As a consequence of our approach, this year we again delivered positive ‘operating jaws’, with Operations costs down 3% while absorbing an 8% increase in transaction volumes.

More generally, our business risk profile continues to improve as we shift to investmentgrade clients and shorter tenor Trade Finance, and greater earnings diversification across products and geographies. Combined with a benign risk environment, these improvements saw a further fall in provision charges and the loan loss rate across the Bank.

Finally, we focused on strengthening the alignment between business, operations, support and technology through the creation of our Global Operations and Technology business, and invested over $46.3 million in training and development for our staff.

PROGRESSING

We are committed to delivering above peer earnings growth with strong capital and expense disciplines, targeting further productivity improvements over the next three years while increasing return on equity

Our operations strategy is delivering economies of scale, speed to market and a stronger control environment.

from current levels. This will be achieved by strengthening our position in Australia and New Zealand, growing profitably in Asia and sharing common technology, processes, products and services that are designed with our customers in mind.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

==> picture [139 x 139] intentionally omitted <==

$ 4.9 BILLION TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

A MESSAGE FROM DAVID GONSKI, AC

I am pleased to report that ANZ’s statutory profit after tax for the 2014 financial year was $7.3 billion, up 15%. Excluding non-core items, cash profit was $7.1 billion, up 10%. The final dividend of 95 cents was up 14% on the Interim Dividend bringing the total dividend for the year to 178 cents per share fully franked, an increase of 9%. This will see us pay out a record $4.9 billion to shareholders for this year.

ANZ remains strongly capitalised and the quality of our balance sheet continues to improve. Our common equity tier one capital ratio ended the year at 8.8% well positioned ahead of the new capital levels currently required of Domestic Systemically Important Banks.

REGULATION

The Financial System Inquiry in Australia has created a vigorous discussion about regulation and in particular about capital and loss absorbency. Significant steps have already been taken to strengthen banking since the global financial crisis and this has built on what was already a very sound, well regulated and well-supervised financial system in Australia. While outcomes from the inquiry are not yet clear, we believe recommendations that combine strong regulatory and supervisory frameworks and market-based disciplines will deliver the best balance between financial stability and economic efficiency.

Everyone benefits from a well-capitalised, well-managed banking system – consumers, shareholders and taxpayers. There is however a real cost to the economy of regulation and policy settings that are too conservative and it is not in Australia's best interests for the financial system to become globally uncompetitive.

BOARD CHANGES

Two long standing directors David Meiklejohn and Greg Clark retired at the Annual General Meeting in December 2013 as part of a succession plan that previously saw Paula Dwyer and Graeme Liebelt join the board. Both David and Greg gave significant service to ANZ over many years and I thank them for their contribution.

I was pleased to re-join the ANZ board this year and to succeed John Morshel as your Chairman in May. John made an enormous contribution to ANZ as a director and as Chairman, and on

behalf of shareholders and all at ANZ, I thank him for his outstanding service. We also made two other appointments to the board as part of our succession process. John (JT) Macfarlane, a former corporate banker, joined the board following Peter Hay’s retirement. Ilana Atlas, an experienced company director and banking executive, also joined the board following Alison Watkins’ decision to step down having accepted a new executive role. Both Peter and Alison also made significant contributions to our board and to ANZ, and on behalf of shareholders I also acknowledge their service.

CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY

ANZ has an important role to play within the communities in which we operate. Our longstanding investment in building the money management skills and savings capabilities of people across our region is an integral part of ANZ’s Corporate Sustainability Framework.

More than 294,000 people have participated in our flagship financial literacy program MoneyMinded since 2003 and this year we extended the reach of this program by launching MoneyMinded online. We have also made banking more accessible in rural and remote areas of the Pacific, with our mobile banking application ANZ goMoney[TM] .

At a time when governments around the world are examining the most effective ways to mitigate climate change, some of our stakeholders view our financing of fossil fuel industries as a key risk. While ANZ is not a major emitter of greenhouse gases, many of our large corporate customers are and we are therefore committed to supporting our customers to transition to a lower-carbon economy. I would encourage shareholders to read our forthcoming Corporate Sustainability Review in which we outline our position on climate change and our response to these issues in more detail.

We believe the environment, ANZ’s strategy and the strength of its customer franchise mean the bank is well positioned to maintain its momentum and to deliver growth and value to shareholders over the medium term.

OUTLOOK

We expect 2015 to present similar opportunities for ANZ to those in 2014 with a continuation of a stable credit environment.

In Australia and New Zealand the consumer sector remains relatively buoyant and we expect a gradual transition to business led growth. Asia’s economies are set to maintain their position as the world’s best performing region. David Gonski, Chairman

% TOTAL SHAREHOLDER[6] RETURN

A MESSAGE FROM MICHAEL SMITH, OBE

ANZ’s performance in 2014 demonstrates consistent execution of our super regional strategy with strong growth in Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific. This is continuing to create a better bank for customers – whether big, small, retail or corporate – and a better bank for shareholders.

CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY

HIGH QUALITY GROWTH IN ASIA

Each year we set public sustainability targets which reflect the commitments made in our Corporate Sustainability Framework and support the delivery of our business strategy. We have three sustainability priority areas: sustainable development, diversity and inclusion and financial inclusion and capability.

We have invested strongly in our business in Asia Pacific through profitable expansion of an integrated network that connects customers with Asia’s faster growing regional capital, trade and wealth flows.

This has established a unique competitive position in Asia and that business is now at a stage of maturity that we can deliver both high quality growth and improved returns.

In the six years since the GFC, we have transformed ANZ into a bank that’s more customer focused, more regionally diversified, more efficient and more sustainable.

We have made good progress against the majority of our 2014 sustainability targets. Some targets however, such as representation of women in management, remain a challenge. In the coming year we are focusing on a range of initiatives to support our commitment to achieve gender balance, including increasing opportunities for flexible working.

Our regional connectivity is delivering significant outcomes for our customers. We are gaining a greater share of our clients’ financial institutions wallet and growing numbers of multi-country clients. Once again we were ranked in the Top Four Corporate Banks in Asia as recognised by Greenwich Associates[2] .

STRONGER IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

We have strengthened our position in our major domestic markets in Australia and New Zealand through consistent market share gains. A key measure of our success continues to be our growth in customer numbers. During 2014 we have added 106,000 net new customers across Retail and Commercial in Australia. We have also achieved the number two position in Retail customer satisfaction in Australia[1] and in New Zealand our brand consideration is at a historic high. We are also investing heavily in growth in Australia and New Zealand. This includes digital and mobile transformation, the broader Banking on Australia program and our New Zealand transformation program.

Sustainability will continue to be a key focus as we drive performance improvements across the business to ensure we are effectively managing our most material, social and environmental opportunities and risks.

PRODUCTIVITY

We now have a well-established enterprise approach to delivering more control and greater efficiency through standardised processes and systems, consolidating like teams, more straight-through processing and more convenient online self-service.

REACHING A TIPPING POINT

We continue to operate in a tough, highly competitive environment where banking faces a number of challenges. There are also big shifts redefining the global economy and customer expectations are changing as they embrace the convenience of digital and mobile financial

This has seen us deliver double digit productivity growth in operations and a more consistent, higher quality customer experience. This saw the ANZ’s cost to income ratio fall to 44.7% during 2014.

solutions. We have to be ahead of the curve by ensuring ANZ is future ready in every part of our business.

CEO, INTERNATIONAL & INSTITUTIONAL BANKING

BUSINESS PROFILE

ANZ’s goal to build a Super Regional bank by growing our business across the APEA region, while maintaining our market leading position in our home markets of Australia and NZ, is spearheaded by the International and Institutional Banking (IIB) division.

ANZ aims to be the best bank for customers that have trade or capital flows in Asia Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and beyond. IIB provides borderless solutions for our business and retail customers across the region.

A LEADING REGIONAL BANK

The most Australian of the international banks and the most international of the Australian banks.

IIB is the only ANZ business division represented in all 33 markets. Following a growth agenda for the past five years, IIB now services more than two million retail and institutional customers with 138 branches, 580 ATMs and 8,000 staff.

This unique position was recognised when ANZ was named a Top 4 Corporate Bank in Asia in the Greenwich Large Corporate Banking Study[1] . In addition a No.1 ranking was achieved in the Peter Lee Associates Large Corporate Relationship Banking Surveys in Australia and New Zealand[2,3] where ANZ was rated No.1 for both Lead Bank penetration and for the Relationship Strength Index (RSI). Our 595 score in the Australian program is the highest score recorded.

Our goal is to help deliver on ANZ’s aspiration to have APEA sourced revenue drive 25 to 30% of group profit by 2017, and to continue to grow our Institutional business in Australia and New Zealand.

BPO benefits both the customer and the Bank. COFCO’s trade transaction was turned around much faster than it would have been using paper documentation, bringing forward cash flows and reducing processing costs and also saving our customer time.

DRIVING GREATER FINANCIAL & OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY CASE STUDY

Speaking about the new development ANZ's IIB CEO Andrew Géczy said, “BPO is arguably the most promising innovation in trade finance in the last decade. We are proactively engaging clients in strategic conversations on how BPO can help them drive greater financial and operational efficiency in dealing with their counterparties, with their banks and within their own organisation.”

ANZ continues to outpace the competition in offering customers innovative new products, cementing our place as the leading Trade Bank. Our ability to take a differentiated value proposition to COFCO has enhanced our reputation in an ever-more competitive banking landscape.

BPO makes it faster, more reliable and more convenient for customers to trade using data set matching

PILOTING SUSTAINABILITY WORKSHOPS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS IN VIETNAM CASE STUDY

ANZ is committed to supporting our customers to manage their environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities. With this goal in mind, International and Institutional Banking delivered its first customer sustainability workshops in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in September 2014. The workshops, hosted by ANZ’s local banking team, brought together current and prospective customers, nongovernment organisations (NGOs) and ANZ bankers to talk about what sustainability means in a Vietnam business context. Challenges in the local market include environmental impacts from the manufacturing and hydropower sectors and labour rights issues concerning fair pay, working hours and health and safety.

Independently facilitated, the workshops enabled participants to share the challenges and opportunities that arise when managing social and environmental impacts in their business. The first workshop brought together customers from the textiles and apparel industry, and the second involved customers in the agricultural industry, including rubber and coffee producers who supply to well-known international companies. Participants shared examples of best practice in topics such as water efficiency, employee health and safety, employee engagement and forestry management.

Customers took away some practical steps to improve their sustainability performance, including the benefits of improved disclosure of their social and environmental performance to their employees and external stakeholders. During the workshops, NGOs were also able to share their view with our customers of what ‘good performance’ means.

The workshops helped to raise awareness of the connection between good management of social and environmental impacts and business performance. Reflecting our commitment to building lasting partnerships with our customers, the workshops also helped to build closer relationships with a number of prospective customers.

Two workshops were held in Hong Kong: the first covering a range of sustainability topics and the second focused on "Energy efficiency and carbon footprint manufacturing". Two workshops were held in Vietnam: the first focused on sustainability issues in the Textile & Apparel sector and the second on sustainability issues in Agriculture.

Increase employee awareness of our Sustainability agenda to better equip key banking staff to engage with clients on social and environmental issues.

To help mitigate climate change we will increase the proportion of lower-carbon (gas and renewables) power generation lending in our Project Finance business by 15-20% by 2020.

Drive ongoing improvement in our decision making by undertaking a comprehensive review of our sensitive sector policies.

Two sensitive sector policies, Energy and Extractives Industries, have been reviewed. This commitment will be carried over into FY15.

  • a) The Corporate Sustainability Framework was included in the ANZ Essentials Induction program from 1 April 2014.

This is a long-term target and we remain on-track at 67%, against a 2011 baseline of 59%. Portfolio summary: gas fired 23%, coal fired 33%, renewables 44%.

CREATING AN INCLUSIVE & ACCESSIBLE WORKPLACE CASE STUDY

Another side effect of Emily’s injury is slower than average thought processing, which she was conscious could impact on her call handling times. In an effort to counteract this, Emily created ‘cheat sheets’ with system short cuts that she posted next to her workstation. This enabled her to focus on her conversation with the customer, while not being distracted by having to remember complex system and process details. So useful were these ‘cheat sheets’ that her colleagues have also started using them and they have been rolled out in training sessions for collections employees in New Zealand. Emily’s efforts to improve the customer experience have been recognised within ANZ and she has won several ‘customer-centricity’ awards.

Building a more accessible and inclusive workplace has benefits beyond reflecting the diversity of the communities in which we operate – it can also help us to think about customer service from a wider variety of perspectives.

Emily, an Esanda Customer Service Consultant, has an acquired brain injury, the side effects of which include epilepsy and difficulty making complex decisions.

“Having an acquired brain injury and working through the rehabilitation process really knocks your confidence,” said Emily. “It was a huge comfort to know that I could start a recruitment process at ANZ with my disability on the table and openly accepted.”

“Since being at ANZ I have found all my managers have been very understanding and accommodating in terms of my particular needs. My workstation has been specifically tailored and appropriate tools and resources have been made available to me.”

“My confidence has gone through the roof,” explains Emily. “Now I know that the extra work that I do – thinking about and examining processes to find ways to make them as simple as possible for me personally – has translated into real value for ANZ’s customers.”

Deliver on our three year GHG, premises energy, commercial waste, water, paper and air travel targets in Australia and New Zealand.

10 of 13 targets for 2011-2014 have been achieved. NZ has achieved all targets and the Global Travel target has been achieved. In Australia, three targets have not been met:

Australian GHG emissions: We achieved a reduction of 10.4% (-26,000 tCO2) against our target of a reduction of 12% over 2011-2014. This is primarily due to higher than forecast growth in data centre emissions that has accompanied the sharp increase in use of mobile banking applications.

Achieve a Group-wide absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target of 3% for emissions associated with our premises electricity use.

Australian Energy: We achieved a reduction of 1% against our target of 12% over 2011-2014. Energy usage reductions in commercial buildings and retail branches were offset by increases in data centres.

Our global GHG emissions (scope 2 – electricity) target (2013-2014) was achieved. GHG emissions reduced by 5% in 2014[11] compared to the prior year, exceeding our target of a 3% reduction.

Australian Customer Paper: We achieved a reduction of 5% against our target of 10% over 2011-2014. Customer paper usage fell in 2012 and 2013 but rose in 2014 by around 400 tonnes due to once-off printing of information for customers for legislative purposes.

1 Since 1 October 2012, the Group has used cash profit as a measure of the result of the ongoing business activities of the Group enabling shareholders to assess Group and divisional performance against prior periods and against peer institutions. For 2012-2014 statutory profit has been adjusted for non-core items to arrive at cash profit. For 2010 and 2011 statutory profit has been adjusted for non-core items to arrive at underlying profit, which like cash profit, is a measure of the ongoing business performance of the Group but used somewhat different criteria for the adjusting items. Neither cash profit nor underlying profit are audited; however, the external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that the adjustments have been determined on a consistent basis across each period presented. 2 During the year the Group adopted certain new Accounting Standards and 2013 comparative information has been restated in line with the requirements of the standards.[3] Calculated in accordance with APRA Basel 3 requirements for 2012-2014. Comparatives for 2010-2011 are calculated on a Basel 2 basis.[4] Previously disclosed International Harmonised capital ratios (Internationally Harmonised Basel 3) have been replaced with Internationally Comparable capital ratios as per the methodology in the “Australian Bankers’ Association: International comparability of capital ratios of Australia’s major banks” (August 2014) report prepared by PWC Australia. The 2012 and 2013 ratios have been restated for change in methodology to Internationally Comparable capital ratios.[5] Average ordinary equity excludes non-controlling interests and preference shares.[6] Includes branches, offices, representative offices and agencies.[7] Excludes employees whose only ANZ shares are held in trust under ANZ employee share schemes.
