Credit Risk Weighted Assets (CRWA)

Total CRWA at December 2015 was $344.1 billion, a decrease of $5.7 billion (1.6%) from September 2015. This included a $2.3 billion decrease due to foreign currency movements, a reduction in IRB Other Retail, mainly driven by the sale of Esanda business assets, and a reduction in exposure for the Institutional business. These were partially offset by portfolio growth in Australia and New Zealand business in the IRB Residential Mortgage and Specialised Lending asset classes, together with a revised risk treatment being applied in the Specialised Lending asset class which increased the Specialised Lending RWA.

Market Risk, Operational Risk and IRRBB Risk Weighted Assets (RWA)

The 14% decrease in Traded Market Risk RWA was primarily the result of increased diversification in the trading book and a reduction in general market risk held over the quarter.

The Operational Risk RWA remained relatively unchanged since September 2015 reflecting minimal change in the ANZ operational risk profile.

IRRBB RWA increased $2.02b mainly due to realisation of prior embedded gains.

1 Specialised Lending exposures subject to supervisory slotting approach are those where the main servicing and repayment is from the asset being financed, and includes specified commercial property development/investment lending and project finance.

5 Impaired derivatives are net of credit value adjustment (CVA) of $64 million, being a market value based assessment of the credit risk of the relevant counterparties (September 2015: $69 million; June 2015: $64 million).

6 Impaired loans / facilities include restructured items of $211 million for customer 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 (September 2015: $184 million; June 2015: $270 million).

7 For regulatory reporting not well secured portfolio managed retail exposures have been reclassified from past due loans > 90 days to impaired loans / facilities

8 Quarter on quarter residential mortgage delinquency rate has decreased with past due loans ≥ 90 days as percentage of Exposure at Default of: December 2015 0.47%, September 2015 0.48% and June 2015 0.50%.

9 Quarter on quarter decreases in Other Retail impairments and individual provisions is partly due to the sale of Esanda assets.

10 Due to definitional differences, there is a variation in the split between ANZ’s Individual Provision and Collective Provision for accounting purposes and the Specific Provision and General Reserve for Credit Losses (GRCL) for regulatory purposes. This does not impact total provisions, and essentially relates to the classification of collectively assessed provisions on defaulted accounts. The disclosures in this document are based on Individual Provision and Collective Provision, for ease of comparison with other published results.

Leverage Ratio

The Leverage Ratio requirements are part of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel III capital framework. It is a simple, non-risk based supplement or backstop to the current risk based capital requirements and is intended to restrict the build-up of excessive leverage in the banking system.

Consistent with the BCBS definition, APRA’s Leverage Ratio compares Tier 1 Capital to the Exposure Measure (expressed as a percentage) as defined by APS 110. APRA has not finalised a minimum Leverage Ratio requirement for Australian ADIs, although the current BCBS proposal is for a minimum of 3%. Currently the Leverage Ratio is only a disclosure requirement. APRA intends to consult on the appropriate application of the Leverage Ratio as a minimum requirement for Australian ADIs once BCBS finalises its calibration for implementation as a Pillar 1 requirement by January 2018.

The leverage ratio at 31 December 2015 was 4.9%, down 19 basis points over the quarter. This movement is largely due to the payment of the 2015 final dividend (-28bps) and balance sheet growth, partially offset by retained earnings.

Glossary

Basel III Credit Valuation CVA charge is an additional capital requirement under Basel III Adjustment (CVA) capital charge for bilateral derivative exposures. Derivatives not cleared through a central exchange/counterparty are subject to this additional capital charge and also receive normal CRWA treatment under Basel II principles. Collective provision (CP) 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. Credit exposure The aggregate of all claims, commitments and contingent liabilities arising from on- and off-balance sheet transactions (in the banking book and trading book) with the counterparty or group of related counterparties. Credit risk The risk of financial loss resulting from the failure of ANZ’s customers and counterparties to honour or perform fully the terms of a loan or contract. Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) Over the life of a derivative instrument, ANZ uses a CVA model to adjust fair value to take into account the impact of counterparty credit quality. The methodology calculates the present value of expected losses over the life of the financial instrument as a function of probability of default, loss given default, expected credit risk exposure and an asset correlation factor. Impaired derivatives are also subject to a CVA.

Days past due The number of days a credit obligation is overdue, commencing on the date that the arrears or excess occurs and accruing for each completed calendar day thereafter. Exposure at Default (EAD) Exposure At Default is defined as the expected facility exposure at the date of default. Expected loss (EL) 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. Impaired assets (IA) Facilities are classified as impaired when there is doubt as to whether the contractual amounts due, including interest and other payments, will be met in a timely manner. Impaired assets include impaired facilities, and impaired derivatives. Impaired derivatives have a credit valuation adjustment (CVA), which is a market assessment of the credit risk of the relevant counterparties. Impaired loans (IL) Impaired loans comprise of drawn facilities where the customer’s status is defined as impaired. Individual provision charge (IPC) 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. Individual provisions (IP) Individual provisions are assessed on a case-by-case basis for all individually managed impaired assets taking into consideration factors such as the realisable value of security (or other credit mitigants), the likely return available upon liquidation or bankruptcy, legal uncertainties, estimated costs involved in recovery, the market price of the exposure in secondary markets and the amount and timing of expected receipts and recoveries.

Loss Given Default (LGD) Loss Given Default is an estimate of the potential economic loss
on a credit exposure, incurred as a consequence of obligor
default and expressed as a percentage of the facility’s EAD.
Market risk The risk to ANZ’s earnings arising from changes in interest
rates, currency exchange rates and credit spreads, or from
fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices. ANZ has
grouped market risk into two broad categories to facilitate the
measurement, reporting and control of market risk:
Traded market risk - the risk of loss from changes in the value
of financial instruments due to movements in price factors for
physical and derivative trading positions. Trading positions arise
from transactions where ANZ acts as principal with clients or
with the market.
Non-traded market risk (or balance sheet risk) - comprises
interest rate risk in the banking book and the risk to the AUD
denominated value of ANZ’s capital and earnings due to foreign
exchange rate movements.
Operational risk The risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal
controls or from external events, including legal risk but
excluding reputation risk.
Past due facilities Facilities where a contractual payment has not been met or the
customer is outside of contractual arrangements are deemed
past due. Past due facilities include those operating in excess of
approved arrangements or where scheduled repayments are
outstanding but do not include impaired assets.
Probability of Default (PD) Probability of Default is an estimate of the level of the risk of
borrower default.
Qualifying Central Counterparties QCCP is a central counterparty which is an entity that
(QCCP) interposes itself between counterparties to derivative contracts.
Trades with QCCP attract a more favorable risk weight
calculation.
Recoveries Payments received and taken to profit for the current period for
the amounts written off in prior financial periods.
Regulatory Expected Loss Regulatory Expected Loss is a measure of expected credit
losses at the start of the year.
Restructured items 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.
Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) Assets which are weighted for credit risk according to a set
formula (APS 112/113).
Securitisation risk The risk of credit related losses greater than expected due to a
securitisation failing to operate as anticipated, or of the values
and risks accepted or transferred, not emerging as expected.
Slotting Exposures where repayment is dependent on funds generated
by the asset financed and with little/no recourse to any
alternative source.
Write-Offs Facilities are written off against the related provision for
impairment when they are assessed as partially or fully
uncollectable, and after proceeds from the realisation of any
collateral have been received. Where individual provisions
recognised in previous periods have subsequently decreased or
are no longer required, such impairment losses are reversed in
the current period income statement.
