Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies

(i) Reporting entity and statement of compliance

These interim financial statements are for ANZ New Zealand for the three months ended 31 December 2013. They have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as appropriate for profit oriented entities, the requirements of NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Order, and should be read in conjunction with ANZ New Zealand’s financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2013.

(ii) Basis of measurement

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with historical cost concepts except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at their fair value:

  • derivative financial instruments, including in the case of fair value hedging, the fair value of any applicable underlying exposure;

  • financial instruments held for trading;

  • financial assets treated as available-for-sale; and

  • financial instruments designated at fair value through profit and loss.

(iii) Changes in accounting policies

ANZ New Zealand has applied the following new accounting standards and amendments in the preparation of these interim financial statements:

  • NZ IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements;

  • • NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement;

  • NZ IAS 19 Employee Benefits (amended 2011);

  • • NZ IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (amended 2011); and

  • NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting (consequential amendments).

Adoption of these standards has not resulted in any material change to ANZ New Zealand’s reported result or financial position.

NZ IAS 19 has been applied retrospectively, in accordance with transitional provisions, with the net impact of initial application recognised in retained earnings as at 30 September 2012 and shown in the statement of changes in equity. The balances of payables and other liabilities and the associated deferred tax asset have been restated for subsequent periods.

Amendments to NZ IAS 34 require certain fair value disclosures which have been included in Note 13, however comparative information is not required in the first year of application.

(iv) Presentation currency and rounding

The amounts contained in the financial statements are presented in millions of New Zealand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

(v) Comparatives

In addition to restatements resulting from the initial application of NZ IAS 19, certain amounts in the comparative information have been reclassified to ensure consistency with the current year’s presentation.

(vi) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of ANZ New Zealand comprise the financial statements of the NZ Branch and all the New Zealand businesses of all the subsidiaries of the Ultimate Parent Bank (those entities where it is determined that the Ultimate Parent Bank has capacity to control).

2. Other Operating Income

Other operating income includes a fair value loss of $28 million (31/12/2012 $23 million; 30/09/2013 $55 million) on hedging activities and the revaluation of financial liabilities designated at fair value. Other operating income excluding these fair value adjustments is $103 million (31/12/2012 $108 million; 30/09/2013 $446 million).

Notes to the Financial Statements

3. Segmental Analysis

For segment reporting purposes, ANZ New Zealand is organised into four major business segments - Retail, Commercial, Wealth and Institutional. Centralised back office and corporate functions support these segments. These segments are consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, being the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer.

Segmental reporting has been updated to reflect minor changes to ANZ New Zealand’s structure. Comparative data has been adjusted to be consistent with the current period’s segment definitions.

Retail

Retail provides products and services to personal customers via the branch network, mortgage specialists, the contact centre and a variety of self service channels (internet banking, phone banking, ATMs, website and mobile phone banking). Core products include current and savings accounts, unsecured lending (credit cards, personal loans and overdrafts) and home loans secured by mortgages over property. Retail distributes insurance and investment products on behalf of the Wealth segment.

Commercial

Commercial provides services to Business Banking, Commercial & Agri, and UDC customers. Business Banking services are offered to small enterprises

(typically with annual revenues of less than $5 million). Commercial & Agri customers consist of primarily privately owned medium to large enterprises. ANZ New Zealand's relationship with these businesses ranges from simple banking requirements with revenue from deposit and transactional facilities, and cash flow lending, to more complex funding arrangements with revenue sourced from a wider range of products. UDC is principally involved in the financing and leasing of plant, vehicles and equipment, mainly for small and medium sized businesses, as well as investment products.

Wealth

Wealth includes private banking and investment services provided to high net worth individuals, the ANZ wealth management and OnePath insurance businesses, and other investment products.

Institutional

Institutional provides financial services through a number of specialised units to large multi-banked corporations, often global, who require sophisticated product and risk management solutions. Those financial services include loan structuring, foreign exchange, wholesale money market services and transaction banking.

Other

Other includes treasury and back office support functions, none of which constitutes a separately reportable segment.

ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust (“the Covered Bond Trust”)

Substantially all of the assets of the Covered Bond Trust are made up of certain housing loans and related securities originated by the Bank which are security for the guarantee by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited as trustee of the Covered Bond Trust of issuances of covered bonds by the Bank, or its wholly owned subsidiary ANZ New Zealand (Int’l) Limited, from time to time. The assets of the Covered Bond Trust are not available to creditors of the Bank, although the Bank (or its liquidator or statutory manager) may have a claim against the residual assets of the Covered Bond Trust (if any) after all prior ranking creditors of the Covered Bond Trust have been satisfied.

ANZ New Zealand continues to recognise the assets of the Covered Bond Trust on its balance sheet as, although they are pledged as security for covered bonds, the Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

10. Capital Adequacy

Adoption of Basel III capital framework

Effective 1 January 2013, APRA has adopted the majority of Basel III capital reforms in Australia. The Basel III reforms include: increased capital deductions from common equity tier one capital, an increase in capitalisation rates (including prescribed minimum capital buffers, fully effective 1 January 2016), tighter requirements around new tier one and tier two securities and transitional arrangements for existing tier one and tier two securities that do not conform to the new regulations. Other changes include capital requirements for counterparty credit risk and an increase in the asset value correlation with respect to exposures to large and unregulated financial institutions.

For calculation of minimum capital requirements under Pillar 1 (Capital Requirements) of the Basel Accord, APRA has accredited the Overseas Banking Group to use the Advanced Internal Ratings Based methodology for calculation of credit risk weighted assets and the Advanced Measurement Approach for the operational risk weighted asset equivalent.

Under prudential regulations, the Overseas Banking Group is required to maintain Prudential Capital Requirements ("PCRs"), which are at least equal to that specified under Basel III (previously Basel II), as determined by APRA. The Overseas Banking Group exceeded the PCRs set by APRA as at 31 December 2013 and for the comparative prior periods.

The Overseas Banking Group is required to publicly disclose Pillar 3 financial information as at 31 December 2013. The Overseas Banking Group’s Pillar 3 disclosure document for the quarter ended 31 December 2013, in accordance with APS 330: Public Disclosure of Prudential Information, discloses capital adequacy ratios and other prudential information.

Residential mortgages by loan-to-valuation ratio (“LVR”)

As required by the RBNZ, LVRs are calculated as the current exposure secured by a residential mortgage divided by ANZ New Zealand's valuation of the security property at origination of the exposure. Off balance sheet exposures include undrawn and partially drawn residential mortgage loans as well as commitments to lend. Commitments to lend are formal offers for housing lending which have been accepted by the customer.

11. Liquidity Portfolio

ANZ New Zealand holds a diversified portfolio of cash and high quality liquid securities to support liquidity risk management. The size of ANZ New Zealand’s liquidity portfolio is based on the amount required to meet its liquidity policy and includes both items classified as cash and cash equivalents and those classified as operating assets in the Condensed Cash Flow Statement.

12. Concentrations of Credit Risk to Individual Counterparties

ANZ New Zealand measures its concentration of credit risk in respect to bank counterparties on the basis of approved exposures and in respect to non-bank counterparties on the basis of limits.

For the three months ended 31 December 2013 there were no individual counterparties (excluding connected parties, governments and banks with long term credit ratings of A- or above) where ANZ New Zealand’s period end or peak endof-day credit exposure equalled or exceeded 10% of the Overseas Banking Group’s equity (as at the end of the period).

This credit exposure information does not include exposures to counterparties if they are booked outside New Zealand.

13. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Comparison of fair values and carrying amounts

The following table shows the fair values and carrying amounts for financial assets and financial liabilities that are not carried at fair value and the carrying amount is not a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Valuation hierarchy for financial instruments held at fair value

ANZ New Zealand uses a valuation method within the following hierarchy to determine the carrying amount of assets and liabilities held at fair value, all of which are recurring fair value measurements:

“Level 1” - Quoted market price

Where an active market exists fair value is based on quoted market prices for identical financial instruments. The quoted market price is not adjusted for any potential impact that may be attributed to a large holding of the financial instrument.

“Level 2” - Valuation technique using observable inputs

In the event that there is no quoted market price for the instruments, fair values are based on present value estimates or other market accepted valuation techniques which include data, including interest and exchange rates, from observable markets wherever possible.

“Level 3” - Valuation technique with significant non observable inputs

ANZ New Zealand holds units in an unlisted fund which does not trade in an active market. The fair value of these units is based on the estimated cashflows from the realisation of the underlying assets.

The aggregate amount of insurance business in this group comprises assets totalling $796 million (31/12/2012: $785 million; 30/09/2013 $779 million), which is 0.6% (31/12/2012: 0.6%; 30/09/2013 0.6%) of the total consolidated assets of ANZ New Zealand.

Total guarantees and contingent liabilities 2,298 1,770 2,201

ANZ New Zealand guarantees the performance of customers by issuing standby letters of credit and guarantees to third parties, including its Ultimate Parent Bank. To reflect the risk associated with these transactions, they are subjected to the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements as for customers that apply for loans. The contract amount represents the maximum potential amount that could be lost if the counterparty fails to meet its financial obligations. As the facilities may expire without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.

Other contingent liabilities

In December 2013, the Commerce Commission advised the Bank that it intends to issue proceedings against the Bank (and two other banks) under the Fair Trading Act 1986 in relation to the marketing and sale of interest rate swaps to rural customers. The Commission has said that it aims to file proceedings in March 2014. The potential outcome of any proceedings which may be issued cannot be determined with any certainty at this stage.

In March 2013, litigation funder Litigation Lending Services (NZ) Limited announced plans for a representative action against banks in New Zealand for certain fees charged to New Zealand customers over the past six years. Proceedings were filed against the Bank in June 2013. The potential outcome of this litigation cannot be determined with any certainty at this stage.

ANZ New Zealand has other contingent liabilities in respect of actual and possible claims and court proceedings. An assessment of ANZ New Zealand’s likely loss in respect of these matters has been made on a case-by-case basis and provision made where deemed necessary.

Contingent asset

In December 2013, the Bank reached a conditional agreement with insurers to settle its claim in relation to the Bank’s former involvement in the ING Diversified Yield Fund and the ING Regular Income Fund for payment of AUD85 million, which would be subject to taxation.
