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 2015 final dividend. For the 2015 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 all fully paid ANZ ordinary shares sold in the ordinary course of trading on the ASX during the ten trading days commencing on 13 November 2015, 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 2015 final dividend must be received by ANZ's Share Registrar by 5.00pm (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on 11 November 2015. Subject to receiving effective contrary instructions from the shareholder, dividends payable to shareholders with a registered address in the United Kingdom (including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) or New Zealand will be converted to Pounds Sterling or New Zealand Dollars respectively at an exchange rate calculated on 13 November 2015.

1 Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are to the year ended 30 September 2014.

2 Statutory profit has been adjusted to exclude non-core items to arrive at cash profit, which is provided to assist readers to understand the results for the ongoing activities of the Group. The net after tax adjustment was a reduction to statutory profit of $277 million made up of several items. Refer pages 83 to 92 for further details.

3 There is no foreign conduit income attributed to the dividends. 4

It is proposed that the final dividend will be fully franked for Australian tax purposes (30% tax rate) and carry New Zealand imputation credits of NZD 11 cents per ordinary share.

ANZ 2015 Full Year Result

– continued growth in customer franchises in a challenging operating environment –

Performance Highlights

  • Statutory profit after tax of $7.5 billion up 3%. Cash profit[1] of $7.2 billion up 1%.

  • Final Dividend 95 cents per share (cps) fully franked. Total Dividend for the year 181 cps up 2%. Earnings per share was flat at 260.3 cents, reflecting increased shares on issue following the capital raising in the second half.

  • Profit before Provisions (PBP) up 3%.

  • Customer deposits grew 10% with net loans and advances up 9%.

  • Return on Equity (RoE) 14.0%.

  • ANZ’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio is 13.2% on an internationally comparable Basel 3 basis[2] and 9.6% on an Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) Basel 3 basis.

All comparisons are Financial Year ended 30 September 2015 compared to Financial Year ended 30 September 2014, not adjusted for FX and on a cash basis unless otherwise noted.

OVERVIEW

ANZ Chief Executive Officer Mike Smith said: “We have produced another record result in FY15. In a constrained environment, we have continued to see growth in our core customer franchises in Australia, in New Zealand and in key Asian markets, partly offset by the effect of macro-economic headwinds on the International and Institutional Banking Division.

“The Australia Division has continued to deliver good profit growth based on market share gains in key segments. The New Zealand Division also grew profit based on market share gains and strong cost disciplines. Global Wealth again produced a positive performance. In International and Institutional Banking profit was down reflecting the challenging global environment. This included pronounced market volatility in the final weeks of FY15 which saw a disappointing trading outcome in Global Markets.

“We are continuing to evolve our strategy and accelerate its execution to maximise value for our customers and for our shareholders. There are significant opportunities for ANZ, however lower economic growth, intense competition, the growing cost of regulation and market volatility present headwinds for all banks.

“In Australia we are successfully investing in growth opportunities in New South Wales while across Australia and New Zealand we are continuing to grow market share in Mortgages and Small Business. In International and Institutional Banking, we are focusing on attractive opportunities in Cash Management while stepping away from lower return financial institutions Trade Finance. Growth in Risk Weighted Assets is also being restricted to better manage capital within the business. There is still a lot to do, however we are already seeing some results from these actions and we expect to see more in future periods.

“Over the past eight years we have strengthened ANZ, created Australia’s only truly regional bank and built a better bank for our customers in Australia, in New Zealand and in Asia Pacific. I know ANZ will be in good hands when Shayne Elliott succeeds me as Chief Executive on 1 January,” Mr Smith said.

DIVIDEND AND CAPITAL

Inclusive of the Final Dividend of 95 cps, the total dividend for the year of 181 cps will see ANZ shareholders receive $5.1 billion.

At the end of FY15 the Group’s APRA CET1 ratio was 9.6%, up 87 basis points (bps) from March 2015. On an Internationally Comparable basis the CET1 ratio was 13.2%, placing ANZ within the top quartile of international peer banks. The completion of the sale of the Esanda Dealer Finance portfolio will deliver a further 20 bps of CET1.

ANZ raised a total of $4.4 billion of new equity throughout the past year, including $3.2 billion in response to APRA’s increased capital requirement for Australian residential mortgages which applies from July 2016. ANZ

1 Statutory profit has been adjusted to exclude non-core items to arrive at Cash profit which measures the result for the ongoing activities of the Group. 2 Internationally comparable methodology aligns with APRA’s information paper “International Capital Comparison Study” (13 July 2015).

7

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

ABN 11 005 357 522

expects the APRA CET1 ratio to remain around 9% post implementing the mortgage RWA change next year. The Group continues to retain significant capital management flexibility to progressively adjust to further changes in regulatory capital requirements if required.

PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION[3]

AUSTRALIA

The Australia Division continued its trend of cash profit improvement with profit and PBP growth of 7%. The result was driven by growth in customer numbers along with increased product sales and market share.

Investment focused on digital platform enhancement, increasing distribution sales capacity and capability, growing our presence in particular in New South Wales (NSW), a high growth market where ANZ has historically been underweight, and building out specialist propositions in key sectors of Corporate and Commercial Banking (C&CB).

Lending grew 9% with deposits up 5%. Sales performance has been strong, particularly in Home Lending, Credit Cards and Small Business Banking. ANZ has grown home lending market share consistently now for six years driven by capability and capacity improvements in our branches, online, in ANZ’s mobile lender team and improved broker servicing.

ANZ’s C&CB business grew lending by 6% despite patchy sentiment in the Commercial sector, with Small Business Banking performing particularly strongly, up 12%. Increased specialist capability saw lending to the Health sector up 16% in the second half.

ANZ has seen strong commercial outcomes from its investment in digital capability with increased numbers of customers engaging with the business via digital channels. In FY15 sales via digital channels grew 30%, new to bank goMoney customers grew 89% and product purchases on mobile devices increased 121%.

INTERNATIONAL AND INSTITUTIONAL BANKING (IIB)

IIB cash profit declined 2% with PBP down 1%. While it has been a challenging year for the business we have continued to develop the customer franchises in Asia, New Zealand and Australia with particularly good outcomes in Asia. Customer sales in our higher returning products demonstrated good growth with cash deposits up 11%, commodities sales up 44% and rates sales up 32%.

Global Markets customer income continued a pattern of steady year on year (YOY) increases, up 7%. Despite a strong performance over the nine months to the end of the third quarter, changed financial market conditions in the last six weeks of the fourth quarter caused significant dislocation and a widening of credit spreads, which particularly impacted trading income as well as suppressing sales. This meant total Global Markets income finished the year down 2%.

A multi-year investment in the high returning Transaction Banking Cash Management capability has seen Cash Management deposits up 48% over the past three years. Similarly investment in Global Markets product, technology and customer sales capability has driven good outcomes with Foreign Exchange income up 24% over the past three years to represent 42% of the book.

IIB has been refining key business areas. Reduced exposure to some lower returning areas of the Trade business, while lowering Trade income slightly, has improved returns. In the Global Loans business, increased focus on RWA efficiency over the course of the second half saw profit decline but margins and returns on RWA begin to stabilise.

NEW ZEALAND (all figures in NZD)

New Zealand Division cash profit grew 3% with PBP up 7%. Ongoing business momentum is reflected in balance sheet growth which along with capital and cost discipline (costs +2%) has grown returns. While underlying credit quality remains robust and gross impaired assets continued to decline, a lower level of provision write-backs YOY saw the provision charge normalising although remaining modest at $59 million.

Lending grew 8% with deposits up 14%. Brand consideration remains the best of the top four banks, strengthening further. In turn, this is translating into lending demand with ANZ now the largest mortgage lender across all major cities. ANZ has grown market share in key categories during the year including mortgages, credit cards, household deposits, life insurance, KiwiSaver and business lending. The Commercial business grew strongly across all regions with lending up 8%.

ANZ increased investment in digital and in sales capability. Sales revenue generated from digital channels increased 32%. A focus on delivering a great digital experience for customers has seen ANZ’s mobile banking app ‘goMoney’ consistently scoring above 98% in customer satisfaction and, with over half a million customers, it is the most downloaded banking app in New Zealand.

3All comparisons are Financial Year ended 30 September 2015 compared to Financial Year ended 30 September 2014, not adjusted for FX and on a cash basis unless otherwise noted.

GLOBAL WEALTH

The Global Wealth Division increased profit by 11%. Positive performance was experienced across all business units. Insurance delivered growth in in-force premiums along with stable claims and lapse experience, which contributed to an 18% increase in both embedded value and in the value of new business. Private Wealth continued to deliver growth through customer focused investment solutions – with FUM increasing 22% and customer deposits 33% YOY.

Global Wealth continues to reshape the customer experience through new digital solutions. Recent innovations include ‘Advice on Grow™’, new tools improving the advice experience, while ‘Insurance on Grow™’ will soon be released to the market.

ANZ Smart Choice Super leads the industry in value for money and innovation. FUM now exceeds $4.3 billion and for the second year ANZ Smart Choice received the prestigious Super Ratings Fastest Mover award. ANZ KiwiSaver continues to build its market position with FUM growing 32% to A$7 billion. Global Wealth’s focus on improving customer experience is reflected in the increased sale of Wealth solutions through ANZ channels with growth of 8% YOY.

CREDIT QUALITY

Gross impaired assets decreased 6% over the course of the year. While the total provision charge increased to $1.2 billion or 22 bps, loss rates[4] remain well under the long term average having risen from their historically low levels. The individual provision charge declined $34 million and while the collective provision charge increased it remained low in absolute terms at $95 million compared to a net release the prior year.

We are beginning to see the normalisation of provision charges with the component parts of the collective provision charge responding as expected to the economic environment. During FY15 the movement in the risk profile component of the charge reflected moderating economic activity with a lower number of credit downgrades being recorded whereas the prior year saw a higher level of upgrades.

STRATEGIC REVIEW

Strategic Review

ANZ is building the best connected, most respected bank across the Asia Pacific region, to help deliver prosperity for our customers and the communities in which they live, develop our people, and to provide shareholders sustainable earnings growth.

The strategy has three key elements – strengthening our core franchises in Australia and New Zealand, growing profitably in Asia focused on corporate and institutional clients, and taking an enterprise approach to operations and technology to deliver better control and lower unit costs. ANZ is focused on the organic growth opportunities which exist in Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific and our distinctive footprint sees us uniquely positioned to meet the needs of customers who are dependent on regional trade and capital flows. The strategy is underpinned by rigorous liquidity, capital and portfolio management and by the quality of our people.

ANZ's approach to sustainability supports the achievement of our business strategy by guiding the way we make decisions and conduct business in all of the markets in which we operate. Our decision making processes take into account the social and environmental impacts of ANZ's operations and prioritise building trust and respect amongst all of our stakeholders. Details of ANZ's approach to sustainability, including the identification and management of material issues and sustainability risks and opportunities, are available in the Corporate Sustainability Review. The 2015 report will be published on anz.com in December 2015.

In 2015, cash profit increased 1% to $7.2 billion, with a Return on Equity of 14%, earnings per share of 260.3 cents and a fully-franked dividend of 181 cents per share. The result was driven by revenue growth of 5%, expense uplift of 7% and a 22% increase in the credit impairment charge. Gross impaired assets decreased 6% over the year. While the credit impairment charge was up, loss rates remain well under the long term average having risen from their historically low levels. Revenue sourced from the APEA region was 25% of total Group revenue.

The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio on an APRA basis was 9.6% at 30 September, up 80 basis points (bps), which equates to 13.2% on an Internationally Comparable Basel 3 basis placing ANZ within the top quartile of international peer banks. The completion of the sale of the Esanda Dealer Finance business will deliver a further 20 bps of CET1.

Strategic Progress

ANZ’s strategy has driven growth in our core customer franchises in Australia, in New Zealand and in key Asian markets, partly offset by the effect of macro-headwinds in our IIB Division.

ANZ’s view is that the constrained market conditions are unlikely to change in the near term and so the banking sector must remain focussed on selective growth opportunities, productivity and capital management. A number of initiatives have been put in place to drive improvement in both our cost and capital position over time.

  • We have continued to strengthen our businesses in our home markets of Australia and New Zealand, with further gains in productivity and market share, and further penetration of Wealth products into our existing customer base in these markets. In Australia, we have successfully focused on investment in digital platform enhancement, increasing distribution sales capacity and capability, growing our presence in particular in New South Wales where ANZ has historically been underweight, and building out specialist propositions in key sectors of Corporate and Commercial Banking such as Health. The Australia Division has grown home lending market share consistently for six years driven by capability and capacity improvements. In New Zealand, ANZ’s brand consideration has strengthened further year on year to remain the best of the big four banks. This has translated into lending demand with ANZ now the largest mortgage lender across all major cities.

  • In IIB, we have retained our position as the leading Institutional bank in Australia and New Zealand (Source: Peter Lee) and as the number four Corporate bank in Asia (Source: Greenwich Associates). Despite a challenging year IIB has continued to develop the customer franchise across the region with particularly good outcomes in Asia. IIB has increased its focus on improving returns. Investment in higher returning businesses has seen customer sales increase in products like commodities (sales +44%), rates (sales up 32%) and cash deposits (up 11%). Investment in digitisation is reducing manual processing of transactions, improving efficiency and cost to serve. IIB has also been refining key business areas. Reducing exposure to some lower returning areas of the Trade business improved returns while slightly lowering income. Increased focus on Risk Weighted Asset (RWA) efficiency in the second half saw Global Loans profit decline but margins and returns on RWA begin to stabilise.

  • ANZ’s in-house regional delivery network is a source of ongoing competitive advantage for ANZ. The network is enabling the transformation of key business activities and delivery of productivity improvements while driving a more consistent, higher quality experience for our customers. The regional delivery centres provide full service regional coverage across our operating time zones helping to drive lower unit costs, improve quality and lower risk. ANZ is leveraging time zone advantages to support “same day” propositions for our businesses. In our retail mortgages business for example, we are now effecting same day decisions for 5,000 customers every month. We have built out a regional voice capability and have advanced our location agnostic processing capability with payments operations in five locations and mortgage operations in four thereby mitigating disruption risk and ensuring business resilience.

  • ANZ raised a total of $4.4 billion of new equity in FY15, including $3.2 billion in response to APRA’s increased capital requirement for Australian residential mortgages which applies from July 2016. The Group CET1 was 9.6% at 30 September. ANZ expects the APRA CET1 ratio to remain around 9% post implementing the mortgage RWA change in July 2016 and retains significant capital management flexibility to progressively adjust to further changes to regulatory capital requirements if required.

  • The total provision charge increased to 22 bps or $1.2 billion. The individual provision charge declined slightly while the collective provision charge increased but remained low in absolute terms at $95 million compared to a net release in FY14. Loss rates remained under the long term average.

STRATEGIC REVIEW

CEO Succession

ANZ announced in September that Mike Smith would be stepping down as CEO effective 31 December 2015 with CFO Shayne Elliott succeeding him, becoming CEO effective 1 January 2016.

Over the past 8 years, ANZ has been transformed and is today a stronger, more diverse, more profitable bank. Importantly, we have created a better bank for our customers with a stronger brand, growing market share and more retail, commercial and institutional customers choosing to bank with ANZ

The bank’s presence in Asia, which was often small in scale and based on limited licences, has been grown into a large and growing business that connects our Australian and New Zealand customers with opportunities in the fastest growing region in the world economy. And it connects customers in Asia with opportunities in the region and in Australia and New Zealand.

While there is still have much to do, ANZ is now Australia’s only truly international bank and is a better bank for our 8 million customers in Australia, in New Zealand and in Asia Pacific. We are continuing to evolve our strategy and to accelerate its execution to maximize value for our customers and for our shareholders.

Group Cash Profit – September 2015 Full Year v September 2014 Full Year

==> picture [521 x 164] intentionally omitted <==

September 2015 v September 2014

Cash profit increased 1% compared to the September 2014 full year.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income increased $819 million (6%) with 11% growth in average interest earning assets, partly offset by a 9 basis point decrease in net interest margin. $276 million (2%) of the increase in net interest income was due to foreign currency translation. The $71.2 billion increase in average interest earning assets was due to foreign currency translation of $20.9 billion, loan growth of $26.7 billion in home loans and commercial lending, and $24.7 billion growth in Global Markets driven by the Group liquidity portfolio and cash reserves. The decrease in net interest margin was due to asset competition, lower earnings on capital and higher liquid asset holdings, partly offset by favourable deposit pricing.

  • Other operating income increased $121 million (2%) with $212 million (4%) due to foreign currency translation. Adjusting for this, other operating income decreased by $91 million (- 2%). The decrease was due to a reduction in Global Markets’ other operating income of $218 million and the one-off $125m gain on sale of Trustees in second half 2014, partially offset by a $124 million increase in net funds management and insurance income, a $64m increase in share of associates’ profit and $42m increased fee income in IIB from volume growth.

  • Operating expenses increased $599 million (7%) with $324 million (4%) due to foreign currency translation. Personnel expenses increased $177 million (3%) from annual salary increases, and technology expenses increased by $166 million (13%) from higher depreciation and amortisation of key infrastructure projects. These increases were partially offset by a $80 million (73%) decrease in restructuring expenses.

  • Total credit impairment charges increased $216 million (22%) due to a $250 million increase in collective credit impairment charges, offset by a $34 million (3%) decrease in individual impairment charges. The $95 million collective charge for the year reflects lending growth in Australia, credit downgrades of a few IIB customers, partially offset by associated economic cycle releases. This compares to a $155 million release in 2014 resulting from credit upgrades in IIB and New Zealand, and net decreases in the economic cycle overlay.

September 2015 v March 2015

Cash profit decreased 4% compared to the March 2015 half.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income increased $340 million (5%) with 4% growth in average interest earning assets and a flat net interest margin. $46 million (1%) of the increase was due to foreign currency translation. The $29.5 billion growth in average interest earning assets was due to foreign currency translation of $11.1 billion, loan growth of $12.5 billion in home loans and commercial lending, particularly in Australia and New Zealand, and $7.7 billion growth in Global Markets reflecting a build-up in the Group liquidity portfolio.

  • Other operating income decreased by $192 million (6%) with foreign exchange translation having a $35 million favourable impact. Adjusting for this, other operating income, decreased by $227 million (7%). Significant market volatility and widening credit spreads drove a $325 million decrease in Global Markets’ other operating income, this was partially offset by a $43 million increase in net funds management and insurance income as well as a $37 million increase in other income.

  • Operating expenses increased $173 million (4%) with $84 million (2%) due to foreign currency translation. Personnel expenses were broadly flat following disciplined FTE management, while technology expenses increased by $53 million (8%) due to higher outsourcing and licence costs. Other expenses increased by $30 million (4%) due to higher compliance and regulatory costs.

  • Credit impairment charges increased $185 million (36%) due to a $200 million increase in individual credit impairment charges, partially offset by a $15 million decrease in the collective credit impairment charge. The increase in individual credit impairment charges was primarily driven by new impaired loans in IIB, higher charges taken in Australia retail portfolios combined with lower write-backs in Corporate and Commercial Banking Australia.

==> picture [528 x 161] intentionally omitted <==

  • September 2015 v September 2014

Net interest margin (-9 bps)

  • Asset mix and funding mix (1 bp): favourable funding mix from a higher proportion of capital. Asset mix had no impact on margin as lower margin Home Loans were offset by a reduced proportion of Trade Loans.

  • Funding costs (1 bp): benefit from favourable wholesale funding costs.

  • Deposit competition (6 bps): benefits from deposit pricing, particularly term deposits across Australia and New Zealand.

  • Asset competition and risk mix (-9 bps):unfavourable impact of home loan competition in Australia and New Zealand and switching from variable rates to fixed rate loans in New Zealand, as well as competition in Global Loans and Corporate & Commercial Banking.

  • Markets and treasury (-8 bps): driven by lower earnings on capital due to lower interest rates and higher liquid asset holdings which have a lower rate of return.

22

GROUP RESULTS

Average interest earning assets (+$71.2 billion or +11%)

  • International and Institutional Banking (+$44.5 billion or +17%): excluding foreign currency translation, growth was $25.1 billion or +9%. $24.7 billion of this increase was in Global Markets driven by a $17.0 billion increase in the Group liquidity portfolio in response to regulatory requirements, a $3.8 billion increase in reverse repos and a $2.2 billion increase in collateral paid against derivative liabilities. Lending in Global Loans increased by $4.2 billion. Global Trade volumes contracted by $4.6 billion due to the impact of lower commodity prices.

  • Australia (+$19.9 billion or +7%): driven by growth in home loans where market share continued to increase.

  • New Zealand (+$6.3 billion or +7%): excluding foreign currency translation, growth was $5.1 billion or +6% driven by market share gains in Retail, as well as Commercial loan growth.

  • Global Wealth and Group Centre (+$0.5 billion or 4%): broadly unchanged during the period.

Average deposits and other borrowings (+$51.9 billion or +10%)

  • International and Institutional Banking (+$25.6 billion or +12%): excluding foreign currency translation, deposits and other borrowings increased $5.7 billion or +2% driven by $6.7 billion growth in customer deposits in Transaction Banking, particularly in Asia, partially offset by $1.8 billion in certificates of deposits.

  • Australia (+$7.3 billion or +5%): driven by growth in customer deposits within Retail and Commercial.

  • New Zealand (+$7.3 billion or +13%): excluding foreign currency translation, growth was $6.5 billion or +12% due to increased customer deposits across Retail and Commercial, particularly in Retail savings products.

  • Global Wealth and Group Centre (+$11.7 billion or 16%): growth mainly in Treasury repo borrowings.

Group net interest margin – September 2015 Half Year v March 2015 Half Year

==> picture [528 x 161] intentionally omitted <==

  • September 2015 v March 2015

Net interest margin (0 bps)

  • Asset mix and funding mix (1 bps): favourable funding mix from a higher proportion of capital. Asset mix had no impact as increased proportion of lower margin home loans were offset reduced proportion of trade loans.

  • Funding costs (2 bps): benefit from favourable wholesale funding costs.

  • Deposit competition (1 bp): benefit from less deposit competition across both Australia and New Zealand.

  • Asset competition and risk mix (-2 bps): unfavourable impact of continued pressure on lending margins, particularly in Global Loans and Corporate and Commercial Banking.

  • Markets and treasury (-2 bp): driven by lower earnings on capital due to lower interest rates.

Average interest earning assets (+$29.5 billion or +4%)

  • International and Institutional Banking (+$14.1 billion or +5%): excluding foreign currency translation, growth was $1.5 billion or +1% driven by a $7.2 billion increase in Global Markets mainly from growth in the Group liquidity portfolio, partially offset by a decline in Global Trade of $5.3 billion due to lower commodity prices.

  • Australia (+$12.4 billion or +4%): driven by market share gains in Retail.

  • New Zealand (+$2.2 billion or +2%): excluding foreign currency translation, growth was $3.8 billion or +4% driven by growth in mortgage market share in Retail as well as growth in commercial lending.

  • Global Wealth and Group Centre (+$0.8 billion or +6%): broadly unchanged during the period.

Average deposits and other borrowings (+$15.9 billion or +3%)

  • International and Institutional Banking (+$5.9 billion or +2%): excluding foreign currency translation, deposits and other borrowings contracted by $6.7 billion or -3% due to a reduction in customer deposits in Transaction Banking, particularly in Asia.

  • Australia (+$2 billion or +1%): driven by growth in customer deposits across Commercial and Retail.

  • New Zealand (+$1.7 billion or +3%): excluding foreign currency translation, deposits increased by $2.8 billion or +4% due to increased customer deposits across Retail and Commercial, particularly in Retail savings products.

  • Global Wealth and Group Centre (+$6.3 billion or 8%): growth was driven by Treasury repo borrowings and higher private bank customer deposits (at call products) in Global Wealth.

Other operating income – September 2015 Full Year v September 2014 Full Year

==> picture [520 x 153] intentionally omitted <==

  • September 2015 v September 2014

Net fee and commission income

Increased by $84 million (4%). Key factors include:

  • $65 million positive impact due to foreign currency translation.

  • Increased fee income of $42 million in IIB from Retail Asia Pacific and Transaction Banking volume growth.

  • Partially offset by the divestment of the ANZ Trustees business in July 2014.

Net funds management and insurance income

Increased by $142 million (11%). Key factors include:

  • $18 million positive impact of foreign currency translation.

  • $107 million increase in Global Wealth income due to increased funds under management and in-force premiums, as well as growth in insurance income due to improved lapse experience and a large one-off loss in 2014 due to the exit of a Group life insurance plan.

24

GROUP RESULTS

Global Markets income

Decreased by $44 million (2%). Key factors include:

  • Balance Sheet income decreased 30% driven by widening credit spreads on balance sheet trading positions, particularly in the last weeks of the financial year where there was market dislocation.

  • Credit decreased 23% as European debt and Chinese economic concerns drove widening credit spreads impacting Asian and European bond holdings.

  • Sales income increased 7%, with global volatility increasing demand for Foreign Exchange, Commodities and Rates products.

  • Foreign Exchange income increased 7%, with increased customer activity.

  • Commodities income increased 52%, with continued demand for gold from Asian clients and falling commodity prices.

  • Rates income increased 39% with increased customer hedging activities in the current lower interest rate environment.

Share of associates’ profit

Increased by $115 million (23%) with foreign currency translation driving an increase of $51 million and the remaining increase explained by:

  • Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank increased $53 million due to lending growth and the impairment of an investment held by SRCB in 2014.

  • Bank of Tianjin increased $45 million due to asset growth.

  • AMMB Holdings Berhad decreased $22 million mainly due to net interest margin contraction from a change in lending mix, and the divestment of its insurance business in September 2014.

  • P.T. Bank Pan Indonesia decreased $13 million mainly due to lower earnings and a $10 million loan recovery in 2014.

Net foreign exchange earnings

Decreased by $17 million (-18%). Key factors include:

  • $12 million positive impact of foreign currency translation.

  • Higher realised losses on foreign currency hedges in GTSO and Group Centre ($68 million), these offset translation gains elsewhere in the Group.

  • Higher unrealised gains on foreign currency balances held in IIB ($19 million).

  • Global Transaction Banking increased $14 million due to volume growth in Australia and New Zealand.

Other

Decreased by $103 million (42%). Key factors include:

  • $39 million positive impact due to foreign currency translation.

  • The $125 million gain on sale of ANZ Trustees recognised in 2014.

  • September 2015 v March 2015

Net fee and commission income

Increased by $14 million (1%) primarily due to:

  • $16m positive impact of foreign currency translation.

Net funds management and insurance income

Increased by $43 million (6%) primarily due to:

  • Income increased $31m due to growth in average funds under management, in-force premiums and stable claims experience

Global Markets income

Decreased by $200 million (16%). Key factors include:

  • Balance Sheet income decreased 48% and Credit income decreased 28% as credit spreads widened, particularly at the end of the half.

  • Rates income decreased 27% with many clients taking the opportunity of low interest rates to lock in their hedging profiles in the March 2015 half.

  • Sales income decreased by 13% due to relative higher levels of volatility in March 2015 half and customer seasonality.

  • Foreign Exchange income decreased 13% impacted by lower customer activity in September 2015 half.

25

GROUP RESULTS

Share of associates profit

Decreased by $3 million (1%) with foreign currency translation having a $16 million positive impact and the remaining movement driven by:

  • Bank of Tianjin decreased $12 million, driven by an increase in credit provisions.

  • Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank decreased $2 million, due to an increase in credit provisions.

  • AMMB Holdings Berhad decreased $16million, mainly due to net interest margin contraction from a change in lending mix.

  • P.T. Bank Pan Indonesia increased $8 million on underlying earnings growth.

Net foreign exchange earnings

Increased by $1 million (3%). Key factors include:

  • Higher realised losses on foreign currency hedges in GTSO and Group Centre ($20 million) that offset translation gains elsewhere in the Group.

  • Higher unrealised gains on foreign currency balances in IIB ($13 million).

Other

Increased by $42 million (86%) key factors include:

  • $4 million positive impact due to foreign currency translation.

  • The release of legacy provisions associated with the sale of Grindlay’s ($14 million).

Operating expenses – September 2015 Full Year v September 2014 Full Year

==> picture [529 x 152] intentionally omitted <==

  • September 2015 v September 2014

  • Personnel expenses increased $391 million (8%), with $214 million (4%) due to foreign exchange translation and $177 million (3%) driven by annual salary increases and related costs.

  • Premises expenses increased $34 million (4%), with $29 million (3%) driven by foreign exchange translation and $5 million (1%) due to the impact of rent increases linked to CPI.

  • Technology expenses increased $196 million (15%), with $30 million (1%) due to foreign exchange translation and $166 million (13%) due to increased depreciation and amortisation on key infrastructure projects, higher data storage and software license costs and the increased use of outsourced and managed services.

  • Restructuring expenses decreased $82 million (-73%), with $2 million (2%) due to foreign exchange translation and $80 million (71%) from decreased restructuring costs across all Divisions.

  • Other expenses increased $60 million (4%), with $49 million (3%) due to foreign exchange translation and $11 million (1%) from higher spend related to compliance and regulatory remediation activities, partly offset by GST recoveries and the write down of intangible assets in Global Wealth in 2014.

  • September 2015 v March 2015

  • Personnel expenses increased $49 million (2%), with $58 million (2%) due to foreign exchange translation. Adjusting for this, Personnel expenses were broadly flat due to disciplined FTE management.

  • Technology expenses increased $60 million (9%), with $7 million (1%) due to foreign exchange translation and $53 million (8%) driven by higher outsourced and managed services costs, increased depreciation and amortisation on key infrastructure projects as well as higher data storage and software license costs.

  • Restructuring expenses increased $11 million (large), due to restructuring in the GTSO division.

  • Other expenses increased $41 million (6%), with $11 million (2%) due to foreign exchange translation and $30 million (4%) from higher spend on compliance and regulatory costs and increased advertising spend, partly offset by GST recoveries.

1. Investment spend no longer includes technology infrastructure maintenance spend (Sep 14: $100 million), as infrastructure lifecycle management is considered to be part of business-asusual. There was some re-allocation between categories in the prior period to align to revised category definitions.

Digitisation is becoming central to ANZ’s business operations, reshaping how ANZ works, not just how technology enables better solutions for customers. The Group’s aim is to create a digital bank; one that allows us to stream operations such that we deliver fast, easy and innovative solutions for our customers while also reducing the operational complexity of the organisation and thereby improving productivity and reducing risk. ANZ has invested in digital across the Group, delivering multichannel platforms that have globally extensible capabilities covering aspects like employee mobility, products (GoMoney and MobilePay), security systems and more intuitive internet banking.

Australia Division continues to deliver simplification and digitisation of end-to-end customer channels, ensuring a consistent digital experience across any channel or device improving both the customer and banker experience. This is underpinned by ongoing investment in data analytics capabilities.

IIB investment focused on the multi-year development of Transaction Banking Cash Management and Global Markets capabilities, scaling and optimising infrastructure to connect with more customers and provide seamless value. Significant investment continued in risk and compliance projects to meet increasing regulatory requirements across the region.

Global Wealth has focused on the use of customer centric digital solutions and has continued to innovate, launching ‘Advice on Grow’, a tool to improve Planner performance in July and will soon be releasing ‘Insurance on Grow’.

GTSO & Group Centre has continued to invest in Payments Transformation to provide competitive payment services for our customers with a strong focus on enterprise payment processing. The Global Loan Management System will continue to further transform Wholesale Lending capabilities by standardising and simplifying our approach to loan fulfilment, servicing and management.

September 2015 v September 2014

The decrease in investment spend reflects ongoing cost efficiencies from greater utilisation of hubs and outsourcing partners, along with the completion of some large programs of work in 2014 including HR Foundation and Transaction Banking capabilities. Significant investment continued in Growth capabilities including Multi Channel Platform, Next Best Conversation and Asia Payments.

September 2015 v March 2015

During the September 2015 half, the Group continued to invest strongly with spend of $560 million. The increase in the September 2015 half was driven by Australia (Small Business Origination System and anz.com redesign), IIB (China Expansion and Myanmar Business Mobilisation), GTSO and Group Centre (Payments Transformation, data management and credit decisioning platform).

Individual credit impairment charge (cont’d)

September 2015 v September 2014

The individual credit impairment charge decreased $34 million (-3%) primarily due to lower new impairment charges in New Zealand and to a lesser extent Australia, partly offset by an increase in IIB. Recoveries and write-backs remained consistent year on year.

September 2015 v March 2015

The individual credit impairment charge increased by $200 million (44%). The increase was driven by lower recoveries and write-backs in Australia in Corporate and Commercial Banking, and higher charges in IIB in Retail Asia Pacific, Global Loans, and Global Transaction Banking, together with increased new provisions in New Zealand.

September 2015 v September 2014

The collective credit impairment charge increased by $250 million compared to the prior year. The $155 million release in September 2014 was attributable to customer credit rating upgrades in IIB and New Zealand divisions as well as net decreases in the economic cycle overlay provisions. The $95 million charge in September 2015 was attributable to customer credit rating downgrades for a few large IIB customers and lending growth in Australia division, partially offset by associated economic cycle overlay releases.

September 2015 v March 2015

The collective credit impairment charge decreased by $15 million compared to the prior half. The $40 million charge in the September half was primarily driven by lending growth in Australia division, partially offset by seasonal improvements in retail lending delinquencies. In the New Zealand division, lending growth contributed to increased impairment charges. In IIB, increased impairment charges were attributable to customer credit rating downgrades of a few large IIB customers offset by releases from the associated economic cycle overlay provision.

September 2015 v September 2014

1. A policy change was implemented during FY15 whereby the Group changed the criteria for including past due loans attributable to hardship in the ageing analysis. Comparative information has not been restated.

September 2015 v September 2014

The 90 days past due but not impaired increased by 20% primarily within Australia division due to a change in the management and reporting of the 90 days past due mortgages book in line with regulatory requirements, along with some deterioration in Western Australia and Queensland.

September 2015 v March 2015

The 90 days past due but not impaired increased by 6% primarily within Australia division due to a change in the management and reporting of the 90 days past due mortgages book in line with regulatory requirements, along with some deterioration in Western Australia and Queensland.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense on cash profit
Effective tax rate (cash profit)
Half Year
  • September 2015 v September 2014

The effective tax rate decreased by 0.1%. The decrease was predominantly due to a favourable Global Wealth tax consolidation benefit and higher earnings from equity accounted associates offset by a release of tax provisions no longer required in 2014.

September 2015 v March 2015

The effective tax rate decreased by 0.3%. The decrease was predominantly due to a favourable Global Wealth tax consolidation benefit in the September half. This was partially offset by decreased offshore earnings that have a lower average tax rate in the September half.

1. Value in AUD at contracted rate. 2.

  • Unrealised valuation movement plus realised revenue from closed hedges.

  • 3.

Realised revenue from closed hedges.

As at 30 September 2015, the following hedges are in place to partially hedge future earnings against adverse movements in exchange rates:

  • NZD 3.9 billion at a forward rate of approximately NZD 1.09 / AUD.

  • USD 0.3 billion at a forward rate of approximately USD 0.85 / AUD.

During the September 2015 full year:

  • NZD 1.8 billion of economic hedges matured and a realised loss of $85 million (pre-tax) was recorded in cash profit.

  • USD 0.8 billion of economic hedges matured and a realised loss of $138 million (pre-tax) was recorded in cash profit.

  • An unrealised gain of $1 million (pre-tax) on the outstanding NZD and USD economic hedges was recorded in the statutory income statement during the year. When determining cash profit, this unrealised gain has been treated as an adjustment to statutory profit as these are hedges of future NZD and USD revenues.

During the September 2015 half:

  • NZD 1.0 billion of economic hedges matured and a realised loss of $34 million (pre-tax) was recorded in cash profit.

  • USD 0.4 billion of economic hedges matured and a realised loss of $92 million (pre-tax) was recorded in cash profit.

  • An unrealised gain of $253 million (pre-tax) on the outstanding NZD and USD economic hedges was recorded in the statutory income statement during the half. When determining cash profit, this unrealised gain has been treated as an adjustment to statutory profit as these are hedges of future NZD and USD revenue.

1. 2015 final dividend is proposed.

2.

Dividend payout ratio is calculated using proposed 2015 final dividend of $2,758 million, which is based on the forecast number of ordinary shares on issue at the dividend record date. Dividend payout ratios for the March 2015 half and September 2014 full year are calculated using actual dividend paid of $2,379 million and $4,897 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 95 cents be paid on each eligible fully paid ANZ ordinary share on 16 December 2015. The proposed 2015 final dividend will be fully franked for Australian tax purposes, and New Zealand imputation credits of NZ 11 cents per ordinary share will also be attached.

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 by the external auditor.

Economic profit is calculated via a series of adjustments to cash 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 to our shareholders 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 a cost of capital rate (11% - as has been consistently applied across reporting periods) 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 decreased 13% on the prior year due to higher capital levels being offset by an increase in cash profit of 1% and higher imputation credits.

Economic profit decreased 16% on the prior half due to a decrease in cash profit of 4% and higher capital levels.

1. Loans & advances as at 30 September 2015 include assets classified as held for sale.

  • September 2015 v September 2014

  • Cash, settlement balances and collateral paid increased by $24 billion, with $7 billion due to foreign exchange translation. The remaining increase was primarily driven by increased short term deposits with the US Federal Reserve and Bank of England, following the introduction of Basel 3 liquidity risk standards in Australia on 1 January 2015, and higher collateral paid on derivative liabilities with collateralised counterparties.

  • Trading and available-for-sale assets increased $12 billion, with $5 billion due to foreign exchange translation. The increase was primarily driven by growth in the size of the Liquidity portfolio influenced by new liquidity requirements.

  • Derivative financial instruments increased on higher customer demand for interest rate hedging products in light of low interest rates, along with increased customer demand for foreign exchange spot and forward products driven by volatility in the Asia market. Net derivative financial instruments increased by $1 billion primarily driven by movements in foreign exchange and interest rates, along with the impact of foreign exchange translation.

  • Net loans and advances increased $48 billion, with $19 billion due to foreign exchange rate translation, $26 billion growth in Australia division on home loan and non-housing term loans, a $7 billion increase in New Zealand home loans and non-housing term loans and a $3 billion decrease in IIB term loans.

  • Deposits and other borrowings increased $60 billion, with $32 billion due to foreign exchange rate translation impacts, $31 billion increase in interest bearing deposits, $17 billion growth in Group Treasury certificates of deposit and commercial paper, and a $17 billion decrease in term deposits composed of $10 billion decrease in IIB and $8 billion decrease in Australia division partially offset by $1 billion increase in New Zealand.

  • Total equity increased $8 billion primarily due to $7.5 billion of profits generated over the year, $3 billion from an institutional placement and retail share placement plan, and other comprehensive income of $2 billion, offset by the payment (net of reinvestment) of the 2014 final and 2015 interim dividends of $4 billion.

  • September 2015 v March 2015

  • Net loans and advances increased $12 billion, with $2 billion due to foreign exchange translation, $13 billion growth in Australia division home loans, growth of $5 billion in New Zealand home loans and non-housing term loans and a $7 billion decrease in IIB term loans.

  • Derivative financial instruments increased on higher customer demand for interest rate hedging products in light of low interest rates, along with increased customer demand for foreign exchange spot and forward products driven by volatility in the Asia market. Net derivative financial instruments increased by $4 billion primarily driven by movements in foreign exchange and interest rates, along with the impact of foreign exchange translation.

  • Debt issuances increased $8 billion mainly due to increased number of new long term trades and movements in foreign currency translation.

  • Total equity increased by $5 billion primarily due to $4 billion of profits generated over the half year, $3 billion from an institutional placement and retail share placement plan and other comprehensive income of $1 billion, offset by the payment (net of reinvestment) of the 2015 interim dividends of $2 billion.

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 timing mismatch of cash flows and the related liquidity risk is inherent in all banking operations and is closely monitored by the Group and managed in accordance with the risk appetite set by the Board.

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

  • Scenario modelling of funding sources

  • ANZ’s liquidity risk appetite is defined by the ability to meet a range of regulatory and internal liquidity metrics mandated by the Board. The metrics cover a range of scenarios of varying duration and level of severity. This framework:

  • Provides protection against shorter-term extreme market dislocations and stresses.

  • Maintains structural strength in the balance sheet by ensuring an appropriate amount of longer-term assets are funded with longer-term funding.

  • Ensures no undue timing concentrations exist in the Group’s funding profile.

A key component of this framework is the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) which was implemented in Australia on 1 January 2015. The LCR is a severe short term liquidity stress scenario, introduced as part of the Basel 3 international framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring. As part of meeting the LCR requirements, ANZ has a Committed Liquidity Facility (CLF) with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). The CLF has been established as a solution to a High Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) shortfall in the Australian marketplace and provides an alternative form of RBA-qualifying liquid assets. The total amount of the CLF available to a qualifying ADI is set annually by APRA.

  • Liquid assets

The Group holds a portfolio of high quality unencumbered liquid assets in order to protect the Group’s liquidity position in a severely stressed environment, as well as to meet regulatory requirements. High quality liquid assets comprise three categories, with the definitions consistent with Basel 3 LCR:

  • Highest-quality liquid assets (HQLA1): Cash, highest credit quality government, central bank or public sector securities eligible for repurchase with central banks to provide same-day liquidity.

  • High-quality liquid assets (HQLA2): High credit quality government, central bank or public sector securities, high quality corporate debt securities and high quality covered bonds eligible for repurchase with central banks to provide same-day liquidity.

  • Alternative liquid assets (ALA): Assets qualifying as collateral for the CLF and eligible securities listed by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ).

The Group monitors and manages the composition of liquid assets to ensure diversification by asset class, counterparty, currency and tenor. Minimum levels of liquid assets held are set annually based on a range of ANZ specific and general market liquidity stress scenarios such that potential cash flow obligations can be met over the short to medium term, and holdings are appropriate to existing and future business activities, regulatory requirements and in line with the approved risk appetite.

Funding

ANZ targets a diversified funding base, avoiding undue concentrations by investor type, maturity, market source and currency.

$18.8 billion of term wholesale debt (with a remaining term greater than one year as at 30 September 2015) was issued during the year ended 30 September 2015 (Sep 2014: 23.9 billion). The weighted average tenor of new term debt was 4.9 years (2014: 4.9 years). Furthermore, a $3.2 billion Institutional Share Placement and Share Purchase Plan and a $1.5 billion Additional Tier 1 Capital issue took place during the financial year.

  3. 108.1 million ordinary shares were issued under the Institutional share placement and the Retail share purchase plan.

  4. September 2015 v September 2014

ANZ’s CET1 ratio increased 80 bps to 9.6% in the year to September 2015. Key drivers of the CET1 ratio movement were:

  • Net organic capital generation of 130 bps or $4.6 billion driven by cash profit of $7.2 billion, partially offset by RWA growth and other business capital deductions.

  • Payment of the September 2014 Final Dividend and March 2015 Interim Dividend (net of shares issued under the DRP) reduced the CET1 ratio by 104 bps.

  • Other impacts of -26 bps were mainly due to increased Operational Risk RWA (-12 bps) primarily as a result of APRA’s accreditation of ANZ’s new Operational Risk Measurement System (ORMS) in September 2015, repayment of the first tranche of debt ($405 million) issued by ANZ Wealth Australia Limited (ANZWA) in June 2015 (-11 bps) and other net impacts from RWA measurement changes, movement in non-cash earnings and net foreign currency translation.

  • In response to higher capital requirements for Australian residential mortgages by APRA from 1 July 2016, ANZ raised an additional $3.2 billion of capital via an Institutional Placement and Retail Share Placement Plan. This provided an additional 80 bps to the CET1 ratio.

  • September 2015 v March 2015

ANZ’s CET1 ratio increased 87 bps to 9.6% in the September 2015 half. Key drivers of the CET1 ratio movement during the half were:

  • Net organic capital generation is 65 bps or $2.5 billion driven by from cash profit of $3.5 billion which more than offset capital usage from RWA growth and other business capital deductions.

  • Payment of the March 2015 Interim Dividend (net of shares issued under the DRP) reduced the CET1 ratio by 38 bps.

  • Other impacts of -20 bps were mainly due to increased Operational Risk RWA (-10 bps) as a result of APRA’s accreditation of ANZ’s new ORMS in September 2015, repayment of the first tranche of debt ($405 million) issued by ANZWA in June 2015 (-10 bps) and other net impacts from RWA measurement changes, movement in non-cash earnings and net foreign currency translation.

  • In response to higher capital requirements for Australian residential mortgages by APRA from 1 July 2016, ANZ raised an additional $3.2 billion of capital via an Institutional Placement and Retail Share Placement Plan. This provided an additional 80 bps to the CET1 ratio.

APRA to Internationally Comparable[1] Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) as at 30 September 2015

==> picture [529 x 191] intentionally omitted <==

  1. ANZ’s interpretation of the regulations documented in the Basel Committee publications; “Basel 3: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems” (June 2011) and “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards” (June 2006). Also includes differences identified in APRA’s information paper entitled International Capital Comparison Study (13 July 2015).

The above provides a reconciliation of the CET1 ratio under APRA’s Basel 3 prudential capital standards to Internationally Comparable 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’ Basel 3 reported capital ratios will not be directly comparable with international peers. The International Comparable Basel 3 CET1 ratio incorporates differences between APRA and both the Basel Committee Basel 3 framework (including differences identified in the March 2014 Basel Committee’s Regulatory Consistency Assessment Programme (RCAP) on Basel 3 implementation in Australia) and its application in major offshore jurisdictions.

The material differences in APRA’s Basel 3 and Internationally Comparable Basel 3 ratios include:

Deductions

  • Investment in insurance and banking associates – APRA requires full deduction against CET1. On an Internationally Comparable basis, these investments are subject to a concessional threshold before a deduction is required.

  • Deferred tax assets – A full deduction is required from CET1 for deferred tax assets (DTA) relating to temporary differences. On an Internationally Comparable basis, this is first subject to a concessional threshold before the deduction is required.

Risk Weighted Assets (RWA)

  • IRRBB RWA – APRA requires inclusion of Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) within the RWA base for the CET1 ratio calculation. This is not required on an Internationally Comparable basis.

  • Mortgages RWA – APRA imposes a floor of 20% on the downturn Loss Given Default (LGD) used in credit RWA calculations for residential mortgages. The Internationally Comparable Basel 3 framework only requires downturn LGD floor of 10%.

  • Specialised Lending - APRA requires the supervisory slotting approach be used in determining credit RWA for specialised lending exposures. The Internationally Comparable basis allows for the advanced internal ratings based approach to be used when calculating RWA for these exposures.

  • Unsecured Corporate Lending LGD – Adjustment to align ANZ’s unsecured corporate lending LGD to 45% to be consistent with banks in other jurisdictions. The 45% LGD rate is also used in the Foundation Internal Ratings-Based approach (FIRB).

  • Undrawn Corporate Lending Exposure at Default (EAD) – To adjust ANZ’s credit conversion factors (CCF) for undrawn corporate loan commitments to 75% (used in FIRB approach) to align with banks in other jurisdictions.

GROUP RESULTS

Leverage Ratio

In May 2015, APRA introduced amendments to APS 110 Capital Adequacy and APS 330 Public Disclosure to incorporate the requirements for calculating and disclosing ANZ’s Leverage Ratio. The Leverage Ratio requirements are part of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel 3 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 the BCBS finalises its calibration for implementation as a binding Pillar 1 requirement by January 2018.

  • Leverage Ratio – APRA Basis

At 30 September 2015, the Group’s Leverage Ratio of 5.1% was above the 3% minimum currently proposed by the BCBS. The following table summarises the Group’s Leverage Ratio calculation:

The Leverage Ratio calculated under the APRA basis uses the APRA definition of Tier 1 capital and therefore does not incorporate some of the concessions allowed for in the Basel 3 rules with regard to capital deductions (as described on page 41). As a result, Australian banks’ Leverage Ratios are not directly comparable with international peers. The below is a reconciliation of ANZ’s Leverage Ratio under APRA and the Internationally Comparable Basel 3 definition of Tier 1 Capital.

Other regulatory developments

  • Financial System Inquiry (FSI)

The Australian Government recently completed a comprehensive inquiry into Australia’s financial system. The final FSI report was released on 7 December 2014. The contents of the final FSI report are wide-ranging and key recommendations that may have an impact on regulatory capital levels include:

  • Setting capital standards such that ADIs’ capital ratios are unquestionably strong;

  • Raising the average internal ratings-based (IRB) mortgage risk weight to narrow the difference between average mortgage risk-weight for ADIs using IRB models and those using standardised risk weights;

  • Implementing a framework for minimum loss absorbing and recapitalisation capacity in line with emerging international practice;

  • Developing a common reporting template that improves the transparency and comparability of capital ratios of Australian ADIs; and

  • Introducing a leverage ratio requirement that acts as a backstop to ADIs’ risk-based capital requirements, in line with Basel framework.

APRA responded to parts of the FSI inquiry in July 2015 with the following announcements made in connection with the key recommendations:

  • APRA released an information paper entitled “International capital comparison study” (“APRA Study”) which supports the FSI’s recommendation that the capital ratios of Australian ADIs should be unquestionably strong. The APRA Study confirmed that the major Australian ADIs are well-capitalised and acknowledged the challenges and complexity in comparing capital ratios between Australian ADIs and international peers given the varied national discretions exercised by different jurisdictions in implementing the global capital adequacy framework (Basel framework). The APRA Study did not confirm the definition of ‘unquestionably strong’ and stated that APRA does not intend to directly link Australian capital requirements to a continually moving benchmark. The results of the APRA Study will only inform but will not determine APRA’s approach for setting capital adequacy requirements.

  • Effective from 1 July 2016, APRA requires increased capital requirements for Australian residential mortgage exposures for ADIs accredited to use the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach to credit risk. These new requirements will increase the average risk weighting for mortgage portfolios to approximately 25%. For ANZ, the impact is an approximate 60 bps reduction in CET1 on implementation of this change. In response to this, ANZ has raised $3.2 billion of ordinary share capital via a fully underwritten Institutional Placement in August 2015 ($2.5 billion raised) and a Share Purchase Plan to eligible Australian and New Zealand shareholders in September 2015 ($0.7 billion raised). APRA has indicated that further changes may be required once greater clarity on the deliberations of the Basel Committee is available, particularly in relation to revisions to the standardised approach for credit risk and capital floors.

The Australian Government released its response to the FSI in October 2015 which agrees with all of the above capital related recommendations. The Australian Government support and endorses APRA to implement the recommendations, including the initial actions to raise the capital requirements for Australian residential mortgage exposures and to take additional steps to ensure that the major banks have unquestionably strong capital ratios by the end of 2016.

Apart from the July 2015 announcements, APRA has not made any determination on the other key recommendations. Therefore, the final outcomes from the FSI, including any impacts and the timing of these impacts on ANZ remain uncertain.

  • Liquidity Ratios

The Basel 3 Liquidity changes include the introduction of two liquidity ratios to measure liquidity risk; (i) the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) which became effective on 1 January 2015 and (ii) the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR).

The final Basel 3 revised NSFR standard was released in October 2014, and is broadly consistent with the previous version. It will become the minimum Basel standard on 1 January 2018, and it is expected APRA will adopt the same timeline. As part of managing future liquidity requirements, ANZ monitors the NSFR ratio in its internal reporting and is well placed to meet this requirement.

  • Domestic Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB) Framework

APRA has released details of its D-SIB framework for implementation in Australia and has classified ANZ and three other major Australian banks as domestic systemically important banks. As a result, an addition to the Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) will be applied to four major Australian banks, increasing capital requirements by 100 bps from 1 January 2016 and further strengthening the capital position of Australia’s D-SIBs. ANZ’s current capital position is already in excess of APRA’s requirements including the D-SIB overlay. The Group is well placed for D-SIB implementation in January 2016.

Composition of Level 2 ADI Group

In May 2014, APRA provided further clarification to the definition of the Level 2 ADI group, where subsidiary intermediate holding companies are now considered part of the Level 2 Group.

The above clarification results in the phasing out, over time, of capital benefits arising from the debt issued by ANZ Wealth Australia Limited (ANZWA). The first tranche of this debt, amounting to $405 million or approximately 10 bps of CET1 was phased out in June 2015. As at 30 September 2015, ANZWA has $400 million of debt outstanding which will mature by March 2016. This will result in a reduction in CET1 by approximately 10 bps on maturity of the debt with the Group well placed to manage this through organic capital generation.

  • Level 3 Conglomerates (“Level 3”)

In August 2014, APRA announced its planned framework for the supervision of Conglomerates Group (Level 3) which includes updated Level 3 capital adequacy standards. These standards will regulate a bancassurance group such as ANZ as a single economic entity with minimum capital requirements and additional monitoring on risk exposure levels.

APRA has deferred a decision on the implementation date as well as the final form of the Level 3 framework until the Australian Government’s response to the FSI recommendations have been announced and considered by APRA. APRA has committed to a minimum transition period of 12 months for the affected institutions to comply with the new requirements once an implementation date is established.

GROUP RESULTS

Based upon the current draft of the Level 3 standards covering capital adequacy and risk exposures, ANZ is not expecting any material impact on its operations.

APRA Discussion Paper on Disclosure Reforms

In May 2015, APRA released final standards implementing the internationally agreed disclosure framework on the leverage ratio, liquidity coverage ratio and the identification of potential global systemically important banks (“G-SIB”) with effect from 1 July 2015.

  • Leverage Ratio

APRA’s leverage ratio will apply to those ADIs using the IRB approach to Credit Risk Weighted Assets. Leverage ratio requirements are included in the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) Basel 3 capital framework as a supplement to the current risk based capital requirements and are intended to restrict the build-up of excessive leverage in the banking system.

In the requirements, APRA has maintained the BCBS calculation of the leverage ratio of Tier 1 Capital expressed as a percentage of Exposure Measure. The proposed BCBS minimum leverage ratio requirement is 3%. APRA has not yet announced details of the minimum requirement which will apply to impacted Australian ADIs.

Public disclosure of the leverage ratio commenced for the year ended September 2015, with subsequent disclosures to be published on a quarterly basis in the Pillar 3 Report.

  • Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) disclosures

Management disclosed the LCR for the half year ended March 2015. The formal LCR disclosure requirements commenced for the year ended 30 September 2015 with subsequent disclosures to be published on a half-yearly basis in the Pillar 3 Report.

  • Globally Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB) indicators disclosures

APRA requires that the four major Australian ADIs report a set of 12 financial indicators used in the G-SIB framework to identify banks that should be designated as systemically important from a global perspective. These indicators reflect the size, interconnectedness, level of cross jurisdictional activities and complexity of the ADI, which are then used to calculate each ADI’s “systemicness” score. ADIs identified as G-SIB will be imposed with higher loss absorbency (“HLA”) requirements in the form of additional CET1 capital. As of 30 September 2015, no Australian ADI (ANZ included) was considered to be globally systemically important.

Under the requirements of APS 330: Public Disclosure , the four major Australian ADIs must disclose the 12 indicators on an annual basis. The indicator values are to be reported as at an ADI’s financial year-end, although the first disclosures (as at 30 September 2015) are not required to be published until 31 July 2016. The disclosures can either be included in an ADI’s annual financial report or in the “Regulatory Disclosures” section of an ADI’s website.

  • Revisions to the Standardised Approach for Credit Risk and Capital Floors

In December 2014, BCBS released two consultation papers on its proposals to revise the approach to measuring Standardised Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) for credit risk (this is in addition to their proposals on standardised approaches to market risk, counterparty credit risk and operational risks announced earlier in 2014) and to impose capital floors based on these revised approaches to the RWA measurement. These proposals are aimed at reducing RWA variability amongst banks and improving risk sensitivities to key drivers of risk, whilst reducing the reliance on external credit ratings when setting capital charges.

The impact of these changes to ANZ and other Australian ADIs cannot be determined until BCBS finalise its calibration and proposals incorporating comments from the industry (consultation closed on 27 March 2015). Final impacts are also subject to the form of the BCBS proposal that APRA will implement for Australian ADIs.

DIVISIONAL RESULTS

Divisional Performance

The Group operates on a divisional structure with Australia, International and Institutional Banking (IIB), New Zealand, and Global Wealth being the major operating divisions. The IIB and Global Wealth divisions are coordinated globally. Global Technology Services and Operations (GTSO) and Group Centre provide support to the operating divisions, including technology, operations, shared services, property, risk management, financial management, strategy, marketing, human resources and corporate affairs. The Group Centre also includes Group Treasury and Shareholder Functions.

During the September 2015 half, Small Business Banking within the New Zealand division was transferred out of the Commercial business unit and is now presented as part of the Retail business unit. During the March 2015 half, the Merchant Services and Commercial Credit Cards businesses were transferred out of the Cards and payments business unit in Australia Retail and split between Australia C&CB and IIB based on customer ownership. Comparative information has been restated.

There have been no other significant structure changes, however certain prior period comparatives have been restated to align with current period presentation as a result of changes to customer segmentation and the continued realignment of support functions.

The Divisional Results section is reported on a cash profit basis.

DIVISIONAL RESULTS

Australia Mark Whelan

The Australia Division comprises the Retail and Corporate and Commercial Banking (C&CB) business units.

Cash profit – September 2015 Full Year v September 2014 Full Year

==> picture [529 x 164] intentionally omitted <==

Australia Division’s strategy is focused on growing customers, products per customer and cross-sell between Divisions through improving the customer proposition in all parts of our business.

In 2015, Australia Division delivered a 7% increase in cash profit and accounted for 45% of the ANZ Group Cash profit. The cost to income ratio has improved from 36.8% to 36.4% while investment has continued in key growth areas such as increasing distribution sales capacity and capability, expanding our presence in NSW and building out key customer and industry segments in our Corporate and Commercial business (C&CB).

We continue to deliver innovative and digital solutions to enhance the customer experience and allow customers to have more control over their banking needs. Digital sales have increased 30% in the year. Customer acquisition has increased by 3%, 59% of Retail customers hold multiple products with us and C&CB cross-sell has increased 5%. Margins have been well managed with lending margin pressure from competition being largely offset from deposit repricing.

In Retail, Home loan sales are up 24% nationally and are on track to deliver 6 consecutive years of above system growth[1] . Home loan sales in NSW have grown 63% in the year. Cards momentum continues with acquisitions up 29% and market share is 20%[1] . Individual impairment loss rates are at their lowest level in 8 years, with increases in collective impairment charges predominantly from lending growth.

C&CB continues to grow its business, targeting key sectors and supporting customers across the region. Customer numbers grew 5%, lending growth increased by 6% with Small Business a highlight growing at 12%. Cost discipline and underlying asset quality remain sound.

  • September 2015 v September 2014

Cash profit increased 7%, with 6% income growth, a 5% increase in expenses and a 4% increase in credit impairment charges.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income increased by $432 million or 6% primarily due to Home Loans and Small Business Banking lending growth of 10% and 12% respectively. Lending margin contraction from competition was partially offset by favourable deposit pricing.

  • Other operating income increased $53 million or 5% primarily due to increased net interchange fee revenue, and lending

fee income driven by Small Business Banking lending growth.

  • Operating expenses increased $142 million or 5%.This was primarily due to investments supporting our sales force growth strategy (particularly in NSW and Digital), as well as wage inflation.

  • Credit impairment charges increased $35 million or 4%, with a lower individual impairment charge partially offsetting a higher collective charge. The lower individual charge reflected write-backs in Corporate Banking partially offset by higher charges in Personal Loans, Small Business Banking and Esanda. The collective charge increase was mainly due to lending growth in Cards and Small Business, along with methodology adjustments in Esanda and changes to hardship policy also contributing to the increase.

  • September 2015 v March 2015

Cash profit increased 4%, with 5% income growth, a 3% increase in operating expenses and a 16% increase in credit impairment charges. Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income increased $169 million or 5% primarily due to Home Loans and Small Business Banking lending growth of 6% and 6% respectively. Net interest margin was stable, reflecting disciplined retail portfolio margin management, offset by lending margin contraction in C&CB from competitive pressures.

  • Other operating income increased $27 million or 5% primarily due to higher Cards fee income.

  • Operating expenses increased $45 million or 3%. Investment in sales reach and sales capability continued in the September 2015 half, primarily in NSW.

  • Credit impairment charges increased $63 million or 16%, with a higher individual impairment charge being partially offset by a lower collective charge. The increase in individual charge is a combination of seasonality and growth in Cards, higher charges in Small Business Banking and Regional Business Banking, with lower write-backs in Corporate Banking. The collective charge decrease reflects methodology changes in Cards in the second half and model improvements in Esanda implemented in the first half.

International and Institutional Banking

Andrew Géczy

International and Institutional Banking (IIB) division provides markets, transaction banking and lending services to Institutional clients globally, leveraging its Australian market strength, and capability to reach across Asia Pacific. The Global Banking division serves customers with multi-product and multigeographic requirements, while International Banking serves customers with less complex needs. IIB also provides banking and wealth management services to affluent and emerging affluent retail customers across Asia Pacific. In addition, IIB manages the Group’s investment in partnerships in Asia.

Cash profit – September 2015 Full Year v September 2014 Full Year

==> picture [529 x 165] intentionally omitted <==

IIB’s four key strategic priorities are:

  • Connecting with more customers by providing seamless value: supporting customers’ trade and investment activities across the key Asia Pacific corridors through the provision of multi-product, integrated financial solutions.

  • Delivering leading products through insights: combining product excellence with industry and regional expertise to provide tailored, innovative solutions to customers.

  • Intensifying balance sheet discipline: accelerating performance by managing capital efficiently and prudently.

  • Scaling and optimising infrastructure: simplifying and focusing the business to effectively control costs.

IIB continues to focus on accelerating performance by investing in the growth of higher returning products; Markets and Cash Management. Loans remain an important product from which to build customer relationships.

September 2015 v September 2014

Cash profit decreased by 2% due to increases in operating expenses and credit impairment charges, partially offset by an increase in operating income.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income increased 4%. The increase in net interest income was driven by Retail Asia Pacific, Global Markets and Global Transaction Banking, partially offset by a decrease in Global Loans. Average deposits and other borrowings increased 12% and average gross loans and advances increased 11%. Net interest margin declined 16 bps, mainly due to excess liquidity in Australia.

  • Other operating income increased by 5%, due to increased Global Transaction Banking fees reflecting deposit volume growth in all geographies, along with income growth in Asia Partnerships, higher Investment and Insurance income in Retail Asia Pacific, higher Global Markets Sales income and increased fee income from Global Loans. These increases were offset by a decrease in Global Markets Balance Sheet Trading income which was

negatively impacted by widening credit spreads towards the end of the year.

  • Operating expenses increased by 10%, with ongoing investment in key growth, infrastructure, and compliance-related projects.

  • Credit impairment charges increased 37%. Individual credit impairment charges were flat, with higher provisions in Global Loans offset by lower provisions in Global Transaction Banking. Collective credit impairment charges increased due to nonrecurring provision releases in Retail Asia Pacific and a higher level of customer credit rating upgrades in Global Loans in the prior year.

  • September 2015 v March 2015

Cash profit decreased 17%, due to lower income in Global Markets, and an increase in operating expenses and credit impairment charges.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income increased 6%. The increase in net interest income was driven by Global Markets, Global Loans and Retail Asia Pacific. Average deposits and other borrowings increased 2% and average gross loans and advances increased 4%. Net interest margin was flat with improved asset and funding mix, partially offset by continued pricing pressure in Global Loans in Australia.

  • Other operating income decreased by 15%, driven by lower Global Markets income which was negatively impacted by widening credit spreads and market dislocation in the fourth quarter. This decrease was partially offset by increased fee income from Global Loans.

  • Operating expenses increased 4% with continued investment in key infrastructure projects to support future growth.

  • Credit impairment charges increased by $99 million, with higher individual credit impairment charges driven by provision releases in Retail Asia Pacific in the first half, combined with higher new provisions in Global Transaction Banking and Global Loans. Collective provision impairment charges remained broadly flat.

2015 has been characterised by higher volatility driven by the strengthening of the US dollar and timing of US interest rate announcements, falling commodity prices and growing uncertainty surrounding the global economy. The resulting volatility in global financial markets increased customer activity and created trading opportunities with increased demand for Foreign Exchange, Commodities and Rate products. The second half results were impacted by widening of credit spreads and significant market dislocation in the fourth quarter.

  • Rates income increased 39% with increased customer hedging activity in the prevailing lower interest rate environment.

  • Credit income decreased 23% as European debt and Chinese economic concerns drove widening credit spreads, impacting the value of Asian and European bonds.

  • Balance Sheet income decreased 30% driven by widening credit spreads towards the end of the year.

September 2015 v March 2015

Global Markets operating income decreased by $200 million (16%):

  • September 2015 v September 2014

Global Markets operating income decreased by $44 million (2%):

  • Sales income increased 7%, with global volatility increasing demand for Foreign Exchange, Commodities and Rates products.

  • Foreign Exchange income increased 7%, with increased customer activity.

  • Commodities income increased 52%, with continued demand for gold from Asian clients and falling commodity prices.

  • Sales income decreased by 13% due to relatively lower levels of volatility and customer seasonality.

  • Foreign Exchange income decreased 13% impacted by lower customer activity.

  • Rates income decreased 27% with many clients having taken the opportunity of the low interest rate environment to lock in their hedging profiles in the March 2015 half.

  • Balance Sheet income decreased 48% and Credit income decreased 28% as credit spreads widened.

Cash profit – September 2015 Full Year v September 2014 Full Year

==> picture [529 x 164] intentionally omitted <==

New Zealand is a core market and ANZ is well positioned with its market leading network coverage and super regional connections. We maintained our momentum and have continued to grow our market share in key products[1] during 2015, including mortgage lending, business lending, credit cards and deposits. Our gross impaired assets ratio has reduced due to improved credit quality across the portfolio and our operating expenses to operating income ratio continued to trend downwards, due to revenue growth and continued benefits from our simplification strategy. Our vision is to help New Zealanders achieve more by offering unrivalled connections across the region and the best combination of convenience, service and price. We remain well placed to deliver this.

Retail[2]

We have grown customer numbers in 2015 and are now the biggest mortgage lender[3] across all major cities and we are earning more revenue per FTE. We delivered new digital functionality for our customers, and our mobile banking application (goMoney™) was consistently rated either 98% or 99% for customer satisfaction[4] . Our focus on having the best people in the right locations is paying off, with growth in the key Auckland and Christchurch markets and the migrant and Small Business Banking customer segments.

Commercial

We have continued to see lending growth in our Commercial business. Portfolio quality and supporting existing customers has been the key focus in the Agri market. Our network of frontline specialists has played a leading role in delivering business and industry specific insights. Our focus on simplification continues and projects, including loan document simplification and process reengineering, have improved efficiency for staff and made banking easier for our customers.

September 2015 v September 2014

Cash profit increased 3%, primarily driven by an improvement in net interest income and disciplined expense management, partially offset by high credit impairment charges.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income increased 5%, primarily due to above system growth in lending[1] . Average gross loans and advances grew 6%, with growth across both the housing and non-housing portfolios. Margins were broadly flat, despite competitive market conditions.

  • Other operating income increased 4% driven by increased sales of KiwiSaver and insurance products via the branch network.

  • Operating expenses increased 2% driven by inflationary impacts and investment activity partly offset by productivity measures.

  • Credit impairment charges increased NZD 68 million from a net release of NZD 9 million in 2014 to a charge of NZD 59 million in 2015. The individual credit impairment charge decreased 16% reflecting lower levels of new and top-up provisions, partially offset by lower write-backs in Commercial. The collective provision was NZD 79 million higher due to portfolio growth, a lower release of economic overlay provisions and reduced rate of improvement in credit quality compared to 2014.

September 2015 v March 2015

Cash profit increased by 1% with lending driven growth in income and disciplined expense management partially offset by higher credit impairment charges.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Net interest income increased 1%, due to lending growth. Average gross loans and advances grew 4%, with growth across both the housing and non-housing portfolios. Net interest margin contracted 8 bps driven by the impact of capital notes issued late in the first half, lending competition and unfavourable lending mix with customers continuing to favour lower margin fixed rate products.

  • Other operating income increased 3% driven by increased investment management and insurance commission revenues in Retail.

  • Operating expenses decreased 1% with productivity gains more than offsetting inflationary and investment impacts.

  • Credit impairment charges increased NZD 19 million. The individual credit impairment charge increased 52% due to higher new provisions and lower write-backs in Commercial. The collective provision charge was NZD 7 million higher due to portfolio growth.

Global Wealth

Joyce Phillips

The Global Wealth division comprises Funds Management, Insurance and Private Wealth business units which provide wealth solutions to customers across the Asia Pacific region.

Cash profit – September 2015 Full Year v September 2014 Full Year

==> picture [511 x 178] intentionally omitted <==

Global Wealth provides a range of innovative solutions to customers across the Asia Pacific region to make it easier for them to connect with, protect and grow their wealth. Global Wealth serves over 2.4 million customers and manages $65 billion in investment and retirement savings. Customers can access ANZ’s wealth solutions through teams of qualified financial planners and advisers, innovative digital platforms, ANZ Private Bankers, ANZ branches and direct channels.

Global Wealth continues to deliver innovative solutions that are aligned to ANZ’s strategy to improve customer experience. We developed Grow[TM] - a series of innovations across the physical, digital and advice space to help our customers better connect with, protect and grow their financial well-being. These include ANZ Smart Choice Super, a simple and direct retirement savings solution; the ANZ Grow Centre, a destination that blends digital tools with physical wealth specialists, where customers can get help with everything from their digital device to financial advice; and Grow by ANZ[TM] , our award winning digital app that brings banking, share investments, superannuation and insurance, together in one place.

Funds Management

The Funds Management business helps customers grow their wealth through investment (including direct shares via E*TRADE), superannuation and pension solutions. Global Wealth has embraced the changing regulatory environment to reshape the business, simplifying operational processes and delivering innovative solutions like ANZ Smart Choice Super and ANZ KiwiSaver.

Insurance

The Insurance business provides protection for all life stages through a comprehensive range of life and general insurance products distributed through intermediated and direct channels. Global Wealth’s focus on retail risk resulted in a 9% growth in individual in-force premiums, while continued investment in retention initiatives in Australia reduced retail lapse rates by 20 bps.

Private Wealth

Operating in six geographies across the region we continue to strengthen our Private Wealth offerings by building core investment advice capabilities and developing a suite of global investment solutions.

September 2015 v September 2014

Cash profit increased by 11%. Excluding a $56 million one-off tax consolidation benefit in September 2015 and the $64 million net impact of the ANZ Trustees sale and subsequent investment in productivity initiatives in September 2014, cash profit increased by 14%.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Funds Management income increased by 6%. This was driven by 10% growth in average FUM (excluding Private Wealth FUM) as a result of solid volume growth in the ANZ Smart Choice Super and ANZ KiwiSaver products. Funds Management margins remain under pressure, in line with broader industry experience.

  • Insurance income increased by 18%. September 2014 full year results included a one-off $47 million experience loss due to the exit of a Group Life Insurance plan. Excluding this, Insurance income grew by 9% reflecting solid in-force premium growth and lower lapse rates. This performance contributed to an 18% uplift in the Embedded Value (gross of transfers).

  • Excluding the gain on sale from ANZ Trustees and related income in September 2014, Private Wealth income increased by 12%. This was driven by improved volumes with strong growth in customer deposits and investment FUM, up by 33% and 22% respectively.

  • Operating expenses decreased by 3%. Excluding the net impact of ANZ Trustees related expenses and the write-down of intangibles in September 2014, expenses increased by 2%. This was driven by higher regulatory and compliance expenses.

September 2015 v March 2015

Cash profit increased by 32%. Excluding the $56 million one-off tax consolidation benefit, cash profit increased 10%.

Key factors affecting the result were:

  • Funds Management income increased by 2% driven by 4% growth in average FUM (excluding Private Wealth FUM), partly offset by a shift in business towards lower margin products, consistent with broader industry experience.

  • Insurance income increased by 5%, driven by growth in in-force premiums and stable claims experience.

  • Private Wealth income increased by 2%. This was driven by increased volumes with customer deposits and net loans and advances growing by 6% and 5%, respectively.

  • Operating expenses decreased by 1%, despite additional regulatory and compliance costs.

4. Embedded value represents the present value of future profits and releases of capital arising from the business in-force at the valuation date, and adjusted net assets. It is determined using best estimate assumptions with franking credits included at 70% of face value. Projected cash flows have been discounted using capital asset pricing model risk discount rates of 7.75%-9.50%. ANZ Lenders Mortgage Insurance is not included in the valuation.

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

6. Expected return represents the expected increase in value over the period.

7.

Experience deviations and assumption changes arise from deviations and changes to best estimate assumptions underlying the prior period embedded value. The slightly favourable movement for the Australian business was primarily driven by favourable claim and lapse experience, partially offset by adverse investment markets and strengthening assumptions for the Retail Income Protection business. Favourable movement for the New Zealand business is primarily due to improved premium growth partially offset by higher lapse rate assumptions from the Life Insurance business.

8. Lower interest rates have led to a positive value impact for both the Australia and New Zealand businesses.

9. Net transfer represents the net capital movements over the period including capital injections, transfer of cash dividends and value of franking credits. There were $314 million of cash dividends and $123 million of franking credits transferred to the parent entity, partially offset by a $405 million capital injection from the parent entity.

PROFIT RECONCILIATION

Non-IFRS information

The Group provides additional measures of performance in the Results Announcement which are prepared on a basis other than in accordance with accounting standards. The guidance provided in ASIC’s RG230 has been followed when presenting this information.

Adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit

Statutory profit has been adjusted to exclude non-core items to arrive at cash profit, which is provided to assist readers to understand the results for the ongoing business activities of the Group. The adjustments made in arriving at cash profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to audit within the context of the Group statutory audit opinion. The 2015 Annual Financial Statements are in the process of being audited. Cash profit is not subject to audit by the external auditor, however, the external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that the adjustments have been determined on a consistent basis across each period presented.

Explanation of adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit

 Treasury shares adjustment

ANZ shares held by the Group in the funds management and insurance business are deemed to be Treasury shares for accounting purposes. Dividends and realised and unrealised gains and losses from these shares are reversed as these are not permitted to be recognised in income for statutory reporting purposes. In deriving cash profit, these earnings are included to ensure there is no asymmetrical impact on the Group’s profits because the Treasury shares are held to support policy liabilities which are revalued through the Income Statement. Accordingly, the full year loss of $16 million after tax ($21 million pre tax) reversed for statutory accounting purposes has been added back to cash profit.

 Revaluation of policy liabilities

When calculating policy liabilities, the projected future cash flows on insurance contracts are discounted to reflect the present value of the obligation, with the impact of changes in the market discount rate each period being reflected in the income statement. ANZ includes the impact on the remeasurement of the insurance contract attributable to changes in market discount rates as an adjustment to statutory profit to remove the volatility attributable to changes in market interest rates which reverts to zero over the life of the insurance contract.

  • Economic hedging and 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 and losses being recognised within the income statement. ANZ removes the mark-to-market adjustments from cash profit as the profit or loss resulting from the hedge transactions will reverse over time to match with the profit or loss from the economically hedged item as part of cash profit. This includes gains and losses arising from approved classes of derivatives not designated in accounting hedge relationships but which are considered to be economic hedges, including hedges of larger foreign exchange denominated revenue and expense streams, primarily NZD and USD (and USD correlated), as well as ineffectiveness from designated accounting hedges.

Economic hedging comprises:

  • Funding related swaps - primarily cross currency interest 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. 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 fluctuations against other major funding currencies.

  • Economic hedges of select structured finance and specialised leasing transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The main drivers of these fair value adjustments are Australian and New Zealand yield curve movements.

  • Ineffectiveness from designated accounting hedge relationships.

The majority of the full year gain in economic hedging arose in the September 2015 half and mainly related to funding related swaps that were impacted by the significant weakening in the AUD across a number of major currencies, most notably the USD and EUR.

Gains on revenue and net investment hedges in the September 2015 half were principally attributable to the strengthening of the AUD against the NZD exchange rate partially offset by the losses attributable to the weakening of the AUD against the USD. These gains reversed losses in the March 2015 half attributable to the weakening of the AUD against both the USD and NZD exchange rates.

PROFIT RECONCILIATION

  • Structured credit intermediation trades

ANZ entered into a series of structured credit intermediation trades with US financial guarantors from 2004 to 2007. The underlying structures involved 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 measured at fair value and marked-to-model. Prior to the commencement of the global financial crisis, movements in valuations of these positions were not significant and largely offset each other in income. Following the onset of the financial 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 exposures 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. As at 30 September 2015, ANZ’s remaining exposure is against two financial guarantors.

The bought and sold protection trades are by nature largely offsetting, with the notional amount on the outstanding bought CDSs and outstanding sold CDSs at 30 September 2015 each amounting to $0.7 billion (Mar 15: $0.8 billion; Sep 14: $1.2 billion). The decrease in notional balances of $0.5 billion during September 2015 is primarily due to the termination of one bought protection along with the corresponding sold protection in the first half of the year.

The profit and loss impact of credit risk on structured credit derivatives is driven by market movements in credit spreads and AUD/USD and NZD/USD rates.

The (gain)/loss on structured credit intermediation trades is included as an adjustment to cash profit as it relates to a legacy non-core business where, unless terminated early, the fair value movements are expected to reverse to zero in future periods.

1. The cumulative costs in managing the positions 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.

Other reclassifications between statutory profit and cash profit

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

  • The charge to income for credit valuation adjustments of $26 million on defaulted and impaired derivative exposures has been reclassified to cash credit impairment charges in the September 2015 full year (Mar 15 half: $16 million charge; Sep 14 full year: $3 million charge). 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 both net funds management and insurance income and the Group’s income tax expense. The gross up of $186 million for the September 2015 full year (Mar 15 half: $277 million; Sep 14 full year: $242 million) has been excluded from the cash results as it does not reflect the underlying performance of the business which is assessed on a net of policyholder tax basis.

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 ANZ’s Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2015 when released and any public announcements made by the Parent Entity and its controlled entities (the Group) for the year ended 30 September 2015 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 ANZ’s Annual Financial Statements;

  • are presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated; and

  • were approved by the Board of Directors on 28 October 2015.

i) Accounting policies

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and using methods of computation consistent with those applied in the 2014 ANZ Annual Financial Statements.

ii) Basis of measurement

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at their fair value:

  • derivative financial instruments as well as, in the case of fair value hedging, the fair value adjustment on the underlying hedged exposure;

  • available-for-sale financial assets;

  • financial instruments held for trading; and

  • assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss.

In accordance with AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts , life insurance liabilities are measured using the Margin on Services model.

In accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits , defined benefit obligations are measured using the Projected Unit Credit method.

iii) 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. Discussion of the critical accounting estimates and judgements, which include complex or subjective decisions or assessments will be covered in Note 2 of the 2015 Annual Financial Statements when released. Such estimates and judgements are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

At 30 September 2015 the impairment assessment of non-lending assets identified that two of the Group’s Associate investments (AMMB Holdings Berhad (Ambank) and PT Bank Pan Indonesia (PT Panin)) had indicators of impairment. Although their market value (based on share price) was below their carrying value, no impairment was recognised as the carrying value was supported by their value in use.

The value in use estimation is sensitive to a number of key assumptions, including future profitability levels, capital levels, long term growth rates and discount rates. The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations are outlined below:

Pre-tax discount rate
Terminal growth rate
Expected NPAT growth (5 years average)

iv) Rounding of amounts

The amounts contained in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been rounded to the nearest million dollars, except where otherwise indicated, as permitted by Australian Securities and Investments Commission Class Order 98/100.

iv) Comparatives

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

1. Dividends paid to ordinary equity holders of the Company. Excludes dividends payable by subsidiaries of the Group to non-controlling equity holders of approximately $1 million (Mar 15 half: nil, Sep 14 full year: $1 million).

2.

3.

  • Dividends payable are not accrued and are recorded when paid.

  • Dividend payout ratio is calculated using proposed 2015 final dividend of $2,758 million (not shown in the above table). The proposed 2015 final dividend of $2,758 million is based on the forecast number of ordinary shares on issue at the dividend record date. Dividend payout ratios for the March 2015 half and September 2014 full year are calculated using actual dividends paid of $2,379 million and $4,897 million respectively. Dividend payout ratio is calculated by adjusting profit attributable to shareholders of the Company by the amount of preference share dividends paid.

Ordinary Shares

The Directors propose that a final dividend of 95 cents be paid on each eligible fully paid ANZ ordinary share on 16 December 2015. The proposed 2015 final dividend will be fully franked for Australian tax purposes, and New Zealand imputation credits of NZ 11 cents per ordinary share will also be attached.

ANZ has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and a Bonus Option Plan (BOP) that will operate in respect of the proposed 2015 final dividend. For the 2015 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 all fully paid ANZ ordinary shares sold in the ordinary course of trading on the ASX during the ten trading days commencing on 13 November 2015, 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 2015 final dividend must be received by ANZ's Share Registrar by 5.00pm (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on 11 November 2015.

Subject to receiving effective contrary instructions from the shareholder, dividends payable to shareholders with a registered address in the United Kingdom (including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) or New Zealand will be converted to Pounds Sterling or New Zealand Dollars respectively at an exchange rate calculated on 13 November 2015.

Subject to certain conditions, on 25 May 2020 the notes are redeemable or convertible into ANZ ordinary shares (on similar terms to the mandatory conversion) by ANZ Bank NZ.

Shares in the Company which are purchased onmarket by ANZEST Pty Ltd (trustee of ANZ employee share and option plans) or issued by the Company to ANZEST Pty Ltd are classified as Treasury shares (to the extent that they relate to unvested employee share-based awards).

2. As at 30 September 2015, there were 11.6 million Global Wealth Treasury shares outstanding (Mar 15: 13.1 million; Sep 14: 11.8 million). Global Wealth purchases and holds shares in the Company to back policy liabilities. These shares are classified as Treasury shares.

The share option reserve arises on the grant of share options/deferred share rights/performance rights (“options and rights”) to selected employees under the ANZ Share Option Plan. 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.

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

6. The cash flow hedge 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.

16. Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

There are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims for and against the Group. Where relevant, expert legal advice has been obtained and, in the light of such advice, provisions and/or disclosures as deemed appropriate have been made. In some instances we have not disclosed the estimated financial impact of the individual items either because it is not practicable to do so or because such disclosure may prejudice the interests of the Group.

Note 43 of the 2015 ANZ Annual Financial Statements (when released) will contain a description of contingent liabilities and contingent assets as at 30 September 2015. A summary of some of those contingent liabilities is set out below.

Bank fees litigation

Litigation funder IMF Bentham Limited commenced a class action against ANZ in 2010, followed by a second similar class action in March 2013. Together the class actions are claimed to be on behalf of more than 40,000 ANZ customers. The customers currently involved in these class actions are only part of ANZ’s customer base for credit cards and transaction accounts.

The applicants contended that the relevant exception fees (honour, dishonour and non-payment fees on transaction accounts and late payment and overlimit fees on credit cards) were unenforceable penalties (at law and in equity) and that various of the fees were also unenforceable under statutory provisions governing unconscionable conduct, unfair contract terms and unjust transactions.

In April 2015, the Full Federal Court delivered judgment in respect of appeals by both parties in the second class action. The Full Federal Court found in ANZ’s favour in respect of all fees subject to appeal (in relation to both the penalty and statutory claims). All but one of those fees are no longer being pursued by IMF Bentham Limited. The one which is being pursued further is the credit card late payment fee – for which IMF Bentham Limited has obtained special leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia. The High Court appeal has been listed for hearing on 4 and 5 February 2016.

The first class action is on hold.

In August 2014, IMF Bentham Limited commenced a separate class action against ANZ for late payment fees charged to ANZ customers in respect of commercial credit cards and other ANZ products (at this stage not specified). The action is expressed to apply to all relevant customers, rather than being limited to those who have signed up with IMF Bentham Limited. The action is at an early stage and has been put on hold.

In June 2013, litigation funder Litigation Lending Services (NZ) commenced a representative action against ANZ for certain fees charged to New Zealand customers since 2007. This action is currently on hold.

There is a risk that further claims could emerge in Australia, New Zealand or elsewhere.

  • Regulator investigations into BBSW and foreign exchange trading

Since mid-2012 the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has been undertaking inquiries into historic trading practices in the Australian interbank market known as the Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW) market. Since 2014, each of ASIC and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) have been investigating foreign exchange trading conduct of various banks including ANZ. ASIC's and the ACCC’s investigations are ongoing and the range of potential outcomes include civil and criminal penalties and other actions under the relevant legislation.

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.

There is a risk that contingent liabilities described in Note 43 of the 2015 ANZ Annual Financial Statements (when released) and above may be larger than anticipated or that additional litigation or other contingent liabilities may arise.

17. Subsequent events since balance date

CEO Appointment

On 1st October the Board of ANZ announced that Shayne Elliott will succeed Mike Smith as Chief Executive Officer and join the Board on 1 January 2016. Mr Smith will step down as Chief Executive Officer and as Director on 31 December 2015. Mr Smith will be retained as a nonexecutive advisor to the Board, initially for one year, commencing after his period of leave on 11 July 2016. Further details of Mr Elliott’s remuneration arrangements and Mr Smith’s leaving arrangements will be disclosed in the 2015 Remuneration Report.

Sale of Esanda Dealer Finance Portfolio

On 8th October the Group entered into an agreement to sell the Esanda Dealer Finance business to Macquarie Group Limited. The sale is expected to be complete during the first half of 2016. The estimated sale price for the portfolio is $8.2 billion.

Other than the matters noted above, there have been no subsequent events from 30 September 2015 to the date of this report.

DEFINITIONS

AASs – Australian Accounting Standards.

AASB – Australian Accounting Standards Board. The term “AASB” is commonly used when identifying AASs issued by the AASB.

ADIs – Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions.

APRA – Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise coins, notes, money at call, balances held with central banks, liquid settlement balances (readily convertible to known amounts of cash which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value) and securities purchased under agreements to resell (“reverse repos”) in less than three months.

Cash profit is a measure of profit which is prepared on a basis other than in accordance with accounting standards. Cash profit represents 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. To calculate cash profit, the Group excludes items from statutory net profit as noted below. These items are calculated consistently period on period so as not to discriminate between positive and negative adjustments.

Gains and losses are adjusted where they are significant, or have the potential to be significant in any one period, and fall into one of three categories:

  1. non-core gains or losses included in earnings arising from changes in tax, legal or accounting legislation or other non-core items not associated with the ongoing operations of the Group;

  2. treasury shares, revaluation of policy liabilities, economic hedging impacts and similar accounting items that represent timing differences that will reverse through earnings in the future; and

  3. accounting reclassifications between individual line items that do not impact reported results, such as policyholder tax gross up.

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

Covered bonds are bonds issued by an ADI to external investors secured against a pool of the ADI's assets (the cover pool) assigned to a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. The primary assets forming the cover pool are mortgage loans. The mortgages remain on the issuer's balance sheet. The covered bond holders have dual recourse to the issuer and the cover pool assets. The mortgages included in the cover pool cannot be otherwise pledged or disposed of but may be repurchased and substituted in order to maintain the credit quality of the pool. The Group issues covered bonds as part of its funding activities.

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

Divisional revenue includes net interest income, share of associates' profit and other operating income before the elimination of intra group items.

GLA – Gross Loans and Advances. This is made up of loans and advances, acceptances and capitalised brokerage/mortgage origination fees less unearned income.

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

Individual provision 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.

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

Net loans and advances represents gross loans and advances less provisions for credit impairment.

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

Operating expenses include personnel expenses, premises expense, technology expenses, restructuring expenses, and other operating expenses (excluding credit impairment charges).

Operating income includes net interest income, net fee and commission income, net funds management and insurance income, share of associates’ profit and other income.

125

DEFINITIONS

Regulatory deposits are mandatory reserve deposits lodged with local central banks in accordance with statutory requirements.

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.

Settlement balances owed to / from ANZ represent financial assets and/or liabilities which are in the course of being settled. These may include trade dated assets and liabilities, nostro / vostro accounts and settlement accounts.
