Suncorp Bank Basel III Pillar 3 Disclosure December 2024

Overview

Suncorp Bank’s ( the Bank ) home lending portfolio grew $0.5 billion or 0.9% (3.6% annualised) through the December quarter. The Bank remains focused on balancing growth and margin while optimising riskadjusted returns and maintaining a high-quality and conservatively positioned home lending portfolio. The portfolio remains weighted towards owner occupiers, principal and interest repayment and loans with a loan-to-valuation ratio ( LVR ) below 80%.

Business lending contracted $264 million or 2.1% (8.2% annualised). The commercial portfolio contracted $143 million, predominantly driven by property finance, with intense pricing competition leading to heightened external refinances. The small and medium enterprise ( SME ) portfolio reduced by $63 million, also due to heightened external refinances. The agribusiness portfolio contracted $58 million, mainly driven by higher customer repayments in line with seasonal trends.

The Bank grew household deposits across all portfolios, including retail term deposits (15.5% annualised), retail transaction deposits (9.9% annualised), and savings account balances (8.6% annualised). The Bank continued to strategically manage the portfolio within funding requirements.

The total provision for impairment increased by 3.5% to $235 million, reflecting an increase of $8 million in specific provisions, a continued low level of write offs, and no change to the collective provision.

Gross impaired assets increased $36 million to $99 million, driven by the commercial lending portfolio, with decreases across all other lending portfolios. Total 90+ days past due loans increased $32 million to $559 million or 78 basis points of GLA, up 4 basis points of GLA from the previous quarter.

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio ( LCR ) was maintained at an elevated level, above the target operating range, averaging 145% over the quarter in line with the September quarterly average. The Net Stable Funding Ratio ( NSFR ) ended the period at 124%, demonstrating the continued strength of Suncorp Bank’s funding and liquidity position. The Bank’s capital levels remain sound, with a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 10.26% (Sep 2024: 10.01%), within the target operating range of 10.00% to 10.50%.

Notes:

(1) Gross credit exposures and Average gross credit exposures reflect on balance sheet exposures and credit equivalent amounts for off balance sheet exposures.

(2) Receivables due from other Banks include collateral deposits provided to derivative counterparties.

(3) Off-balance sheet exposures represent the credit equivalent amount in accordance with APS 112 Capital Adequacy: Standardised Approach to Credit Risk .

(4) Total credit risk excludes cash at bank and other money market placements.

(5) Securitisation exposures for December 2024 include $2,601 million in Loans and advances, $28 million in Investment Securities, $35 million in Derivatives and $300 million in Off-balance sheet exposures. The securitisation exposures for Loans and advances qualify for regulatory capital relief under APS 120 Securitisation and therefore do not contribute to the Bank’s total gross credit risk. The remaining securitisation exposures carry credit risk commensurate with their respective asset classes in accordance with APS 120 Securitisation .

(6) Includes commercial property and land acquisition, development, and construction exposures.

Suncorp Bank Basel III Pillar 3 Disclosure December 2024

Overview

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio ( LCR ) promotes shorter-term resilience by requiring ADIs to maintain sufficient qualifying High Quality Liquid Assets ( HQLA ) to meet expected net cash outflows ( NCO ) under an APRA prescribed 30 calendar day stress scenario. Suncorp Bank manages its LCR on a daily basis and maintains a buffer over the regulatory minimum of 100%.

Liquidity and Funding Risk Management Framework

The Suncorp Bank (Norfina Limited) Board is responsible for the sound and prudent management of liquidity risk across the Bank, with authority delegated to the Suncorp Bank Board Risk Committee.

Executive management of liquidity and funding risk is overseen through the Suncorp Bank Asset and Liability Committee ( SBALCO ) which reviews risk measures and limits, endorses and monitors funding and liquidity strategies and ensures stress tests, the Contingency Funding Plan ( CFP ) and holdings of HQLA are effective and appropriate. Operational management of liquidity risk is delegated to a centralised function in the Suncorp Bank Treasury division.

The Bank's stress testing framework includes several scenarios designed to test the Bank's response to liquidity stress under different criteria and understand the range of mitigating actions available. The Bank integrates stress test outcomes and liquidity metrics into the Bank’s overall risk management framework and strategic planning, thereby undertaking comprehensive risk management.

Liquidity and Funding Management

The quantum of liquid assets held considers the amount needed to meet prudential and internal requirements (including a variety of internal stress scenarios as part of the risk management framework) and suitable buffers as appropriate.

Liquid assets included in the LCR consist of HQLA (such as cash, Australian Semi-Government and Commonwealth Government securities).

Other contractual funding obligations and other net inflows represent gross flows not included elsewhere in the LCR. Over time, key balances in these categories can be material to the Bank’s net cash outflow.

During the December quarter, the material balances of net other cashflows were due to forecast loan disbursements, regulatory liquidity held against the NCD portfolio as well as settlement periods for liquid assets and funding transactions (such as the $250m private placement). On average, the Bank's contingent funding obligations decreased from the September quarter to the December quarter due to a reduction in liquid asset purchases and the size of funding transactions undertaken.

Contingency Funding Plan

Suncorp Bank maintains a CFP which outlines funding and management strategies to address liquidity shortfalls under stressed conditions. The CFP establishes clear lines of responsibility and provides a comprehensive list of liquidity options to enable swift, decisive action to support the mitigation of any potential liquidity risks.

Suncorp Bank also monitors several Early Warning Indicators that serve as metrics complementary to its other liquidity risk limits, to identify the emergence of increased risk or vulnerabilities and support in the decision-making around any activation of the CFP.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio

Suncorp Bank calculates its LCR position on a daily basis, ensuring a buffer is maintained over the regulatory requirement of 100% and the Board’s approved Risk Appetite. Over the December quarter, the average LCR remained steady at 145% and excess liquid assets were $4bn on average.

There was approximately $625m in domestic term funding maturities across the December quarter. These were partially replaced by a $250m private placement in November. On average, unsecured debt exposure was higher through the quarter driven mainly by an increase in US Commercial Paper in the LCR 30-day window. The Bank saw a decrease in net derivative flows over the quarter.

Additional liquidity was held over the end of year period contributing to an LCR of 152% on 31st December 2024. During the quarter the lowest point of the LCR was 132% on 27 November, coinciding with a high point in the NCO which was driven by an increased volume of wholesale funding maturities in the 30-day window.

Appendix 2 - Definitions

AASB 9 AASB 9_Financial Instruments_was issued in December 2014. It addresses recognition and
measurement requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities, impairment requirements that
introduce a forward-looking expected credit loss impairment model, and general hedge accounting
requirements which more closely align with risk management activities undertaken when hedging
financial and non-financial risks. This standard became mandatory for the annual reporting period from
1 July 2018.
Capital adequacy ratio Capital base divided by total assessed risk, as defined by APRA.
Collective provision A collective provision is established to determine expected credit losses (see also Expected Credit
Losses definition below) for loan exposures which are not specifically provisioned and can be in the
performing or non-performing portfolios. For business banking exposures, a ratings-based approach is
applied using estimates of probability of default and loss given default, at a customer level. For
portfolio managed exposures, the portfolios are split into pools with homogenous risk profiles and pool
estimates of probability of default and loss given default are used to calculate the collective provision.
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Common Equity Tier 1 capital comprises accounting equity plus adjustments for intangible assets and
regulatory reserves.
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio Common Equity Tier 1 divided by total risk weighted assets, as defined by APRA.
Credit value adjustment (CVA) A capital charge that covers the risk of mark-to-market losses on the counterparty credit risk.
Eligible collective provisions Primarily represents the collective provision for impairment on loans and advances in Stage 1
(performing and/or newly originated assets) and Stage 2 (without any arrears). Provisions for loans
and advances in Stage 1 are established to provide for expected credit losses (ECL) for a period of 12
months. Forward-looking provisions for future, presently unidentified losses are also included within the
Eligible collective provision balance.
Expected credit losses (ECL) Expected credit losses (ECL) are calculated as the probability of default (PD) x loss given default
(LGD) x exposure at default. The credit models are calibrated to reflect PD and LGD estimates based
on historical observed experience, as well as reflecting unbiased forward-looking views of
macroeconomic conditions, through macroeconomic variables that influence credit losses, for example
unemployment rates and changes in house prices.
Ineligible collective provisions Represents the collective provision for impairment on loans and advances in Stage 2 (with any level of
arrears) or Stage 3. Stage 3 assets within ineligible collective provisions include ‘past due but not
impaired’ and ‘impaired assets’ (non-performing loans, other than those for which a specific provision
is held under AASB 9). Collective provisions for loans and advances in Stage 2 and Stage 3 are
established to provide for ECL for the remaining term of the loans and advances (lifetime ECL).
Ineligible collective provision is considered as specific provision for regulatory purposes under APS
220_Credit Risk Management_.
Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) An APRA requirement to maintain a sufficient level of qualifying high-quality liquid assets to meet
liquidity needs under an APRA-defined significant stress event lasting for 30 calendar days. Absent of
a situation of financial stress, the LCR must not be less than 100%. The LCR is calculated as the ratio
of qualifying high-quality liquid assets relative to net cash outflows in a modelled APRA-defined 30-day
stress scenario.
Loan-to-value ratio (LVR) Ratio of a loan to the value of the asset purchased.
Non-performing exposure An exposure that is in default. A default is considered to have occurred with regard to a particular
borrower when either, or both, of the events in sub-paragraphs (i) or (ii) have taken place: (i) the ADI
considers that the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the ADI in full, without recourse by
the ADI to actions such as realising available security;
(ii) the borrower is 90 days or more past-due on a credit obligation to the ADI or, in the case of
subsidiaries in jurisdictions where a different number of days past-due is set for exposures to
individuals (i.e. natural persons) or public sector entities by the national regulator, the borrower is past-
due by the number of days (or more) specified by that national regulator.
Past due loans An exposure for which any amount due under a contract (interest, principal, fee or other amount) has
not been paid in full at the date when it was due. An exposure is considered past-due from the first day
of missed payment.
Risk weighted assets Total of the carrying value of each asset class multiplied by their assigned risk weighting, as defined by
APRA.
Specific provision A specific provision for impairment is recognised where there is objective evidence of impairment and
full recovery of principal and interest is considered doubtful. The present value of the expected future
cash flows is compared to the carrying amount of the loan to determine the specific provision required.
Total assessed risk Credit risk-weighted assets, off-balance sheet positions, market risk capital charge and operational risk
charge, as defined by APRA.
