GENERAL DISCLOSURES

This Disclosure Statement has been issued in accordance with the Order.

Credit Rating Information

The Bank has three credit ratings, which are applicable to its long-term senior unsecured obligations. On 7 July 2016, Standard & Poor’s changed the outlook on the Bank from Stable to Negative.

The Bank’s credit ratings are:

Current Credit
Rating Agency Rating Qualification
Standard & Poor’s AA- Outlook Negative
Moody’s Investors Service Aa3 Outlook Stable
Fitch Ratings AA- Outlook Stable

Guarantors

No obligations of the Bank are guaranteed as at 12 August 2016.

ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust

Certain debt securities (Covered Bonds) issued by the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, ANZ New Zealand (Int’l) Limited, are guaranteed by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited (the Covered Bond Guarantor), solely in its capacity as trustee of ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust. The Covered Bond Guarantor has guaranteed the payment of interest and principal of Covered Bonds with a carrying value as at 30 June 2016 of NZ$4,739 million, pursuant to a guarantee which is secured over a pool of assets. The Covered Bond Guarantor’s address for service is Level 9, 34 Shortland Street, Auckland, New Zealand. The Covered Bond Guarantor is not a member of the Banking Group and has no credit ratings applicable to its long term senior unsecured obligations payable in New Zealand dollars. The Covered Bonds have been assigned a long term rating of Aaa and AAA by Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings respectively. Details of the pool of assets that secure this guarantee are provided in Note 7.

Other Matters

APRA has reviewed the level of exposures that can be provided to the respective New Zealand banking subsidiaries and branches (New Zealand operations) of the four Australian parent banks, including the Ultimate Parent Bank.

APRA has confirmed that by 1 January 2021 no more than 5% of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s Level 1 Tier 1 capital can comprise non-equity exposures to its New Zealand operations during ordinary times. Exposures in excess of this limit must be reduced in equal percentages over the five year transition period and may not increase above the exposures as at 30 June 2015. This limit does not include holdings of capital instruments or eligible secured contingent funding support provided to the Bank during times of financial stress.

The Ultimate Parent Bank established a New Zealand branch which was registered on 5 January 2009. The Bank sells, from time-to-time, residential loans and mortgages into the NZ Branch to provide funding for the Bank’s business. As at 30 June 2016, the NZ Branch held approximately NZ$6.6 billion of residential loans. To satisfy APRA’s requirements described above, the Bank intends to repay this funding at approximately NZ$1.6 billion per annum over the five year transition period ending 31 December 2020.

APRA has also clarified that contingent funding support by the Ultimate Parent Bank to the Bank during times of financial stress must be provided on terms that are acceptable to APRA and, in aggregate with all other exposures to its New Zealand operations, must not exceed 50% of the Ultimate Parent Bank’s Level 1 Tier 1 capital. At present, only covered bonds meet APRA’s criteria for contingent funding. On this basis, we believe that the Ultimate Parent Bank will continue to be able to provide financial support to the Bank.

Directorate

Nigel Williams became a Director on 14 December 2015 and ceased as alternate director for Michael Smith on 21 December 2015.

Michael Smith retired as a Director on 21 December 2015.

Auditor

The Banking Group’s auditor is KPMG, Chartered Accountants, Level 9, 10 Customhouse Quay, Wellington, New Zealand.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(i) Reporting entity and statement of compliance

These interim financial statements are for the Banking Group for the nine months ended 30 June 2016. 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 the Banking Group’s financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2015.

(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:

(iii) Changes in accounting policies

With the exception of software changes in note 2, the accounting policies adopted by the Banking Group are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the previous full year Disclosure Statement.

(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

Certain amounts in the comparative information have been reclassified to ensure consistency with the current period’s presentation.

  • (vi) Principles of consolidation

The financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries.

  • 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.

Operating expenses

During the nine months ended 30 June 2016, the Banking Group changed the application of its accounting policy for the capitalisation of expenditure on internally generated software assets effective from 1 October 2015. The change aligns the accounting policy for software assets with the rapidly changing technology landscape and the Banking Group’s evolving digital strategy by increasing the threshold for capitalisation of software development costs and directly expensing more project related costs. The change does not affect the Banking Group’s total investment in technology but does affect the timing of recognition of costs in the profit and loss account. The impact of the change on the results for the nine months ended 30 June 2016 was:

  • Higher amortisation of NZ$65 million relating to the accelerated amortisation of software assets where the original cost was below the revised threshold at 1 October 2015. This brings forward amortisation which otherwise would have been recognised in future periods.

  • Higher operating expenses of NZ$31 million relating to software development costs which otherwise would have been capitalised and amortised in future periods.

The change in capitalised software treatment has no impact on regulatory capital ratios.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. SEGMENT ANALYSIS

The Banking Group is organised into three major business segments for segment reporting purposes - Retail, Commercial 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.

During the nine months ended 30 June 2016, Wealth was integrated with Retail, having been disclosed separately previously. During the year ended 30 September 2015, Business Banking was integrated with Retail, having been included in Commercial previously. Segment reporting has been updated to reflect these changes and other minor changes to the Banking Group’s structure. Comparative data has been adjusted to be consistent with the current period’s segment definitions.

Retail

Retail provides products and services to Retail, Private Banking, and Business Banking customers via the branch network, mortgage specialists, relationship managers, the contact centre and a variety of self service channels (internet banking, phone banking, ATMs, website and mobile phone banking). Retail and Private Banking customers have personal banking requirements and Business Banking customers consist primarily of small enterprises with annual revenues of less than NZ$5 million. Core products and services include current and savings accounts, unsecured lending (credit cards, personal loans and overdrafts), home loans secured by mortgages over property, investment products, superannuation and insurance services.

Commercial

Commercial provides services to Commercial & Agri (CommAgri) and UDC customers. CommAgri customers consist of primarily privately owned medium to large enterprises. Commercial'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.

Institutional

Institutional provides financial services through a number of specialised units to large multi-banked corporations, often global, which 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.

The Bank has sold residential mortgages to the NZ Branch with a net carrying value of NZ$6,630 million as at 30 June 2016 (30/06/2015 NZ$7,719 million, 30/09/2015 NZ$8,011 million). These assets qualify for derecognition as the Bank does not retain a continuing involvement in the transferred assets.

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.

The Banking Group 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.

The Market Surveillance Panel of the NZX granted the Bank a waiver from the requirements of Listing Rules 10.3 (relating to the provision of preliminary announcements of half yearly and annual results to the NZX) and 10.4 (relating to preparing and providing a copy of half yearly and annual reports to the NZX).

3 These instruments qualify as tier 2 capital under RBNZ’s Basel III transitional rules, subject to the RBNZ’s Basel III transition adjustment.

NZD 938 million ANZ New Zealand Internal Capital Notes (ANZ NZ ICN2)

On 15 June 2016, the Bank issued 9.38 million convertible notes to the NZ Branch at NZ$100 each, raising NZ$938 million.

The ANZ NZ ICN2 Notes (the notes) are fully paid convertible subordinated perpetual notes.

The notes are classified as debt given there are circumstances beyond the Bank’s control where the principal is converted into a variable number of shares of the Bank.

Interest

Interest on the notes is non-cumulative and payable semiannually in arrears in June and December in each year. The interest rate is based on a floating rate equal to the aggregate of the New Zealand 6 month bank bill rate plus a 629 basis point margin.

Interest payments are subject to the Bank’s absolute discretion and certain payment conditions being satisfied (including RBNZ requirements). If interest is not paid on the notes the Bank may not, except in limited circumstances, pay dividends or undertake a share buy-back or other capital reduction on its ordinary shares until interest is next paid.

Conversion features

The Bank may be required to convert some or all of the notes if a common equity capital trigger event, or a RBNZ nonviability trigger event occurs. The ANZ NZ ICN2 will convert into ordinary shares of the Bank.

A common equity capital trigger event occurs if the Banking Group’s common equity tier 1 capital is equal to or less than 5.125%.

A RBNZ non-viability trigger event occurs if the RBNZ directs the Bank to convert or write off the notes or a statutory manager is appointed to the Bank and decides the Bank must convert or write off the notes.

Redemption

On 15 June 2026 and each 5th anniversary thereafter the Bank has the right, subject to satisfying certain conditions, to redeem (subject to receiving RBNZ’s prior approval), all or some of the ANZ NZ ICN2 at its discretion.

Rights of holders in event of liquidation

The notes rank equally with the Bank’s other ANZ Capital notes and preference shares, and lower than perpetual subordinated debt. Holders of the notes do not have any right to vote in general meetings of the Bank.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Capital for other material risks

The Banking Group has an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) which complies with the requirements of the Bank's Conditions of Registration.

Under the Banking Group's ICAAP it identifies and measures all "other material risks", which are those material risks that are not explicitly captured in the calculation of the Banking Group's tier 1 and total capital ratios. The other material risks identified by the Banking Group include pension risk, insurance risk, strategic equity risk, fixed asset risk, deferred acquisition cost risk, value in-force risk, business retention risk and software risk.

The Banking Group's internal capital allocation for these other material risks is NZ$438 million (30/06/2015 NZ$450 million; 30/09/2015 NZ$479 million).

Residential mortgages by loan-to-valuation ratio

As required by the RBNZ, LVRs are calculated as the current exposure secured by a residential mortgage divided by the Banking Group'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.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value

Below is a comparison of the carrying amounts as reported on the balance sheet and fair values of financial asset and liability categories other than those categories where the carrying amount is at fair value or considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.

The fair values below have been calculated using discounted cash flow techniques where contractual future cash flows of the instrument are discounted using discount rates incorporating wholesale market rates or market borrowing rates of debt with similar maturities or a yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity.

1 Fair value hedging is applied to certain financial instruments within these categories. The resulting fair value adjustments mean that the carrying value differs from the amortised cost.

2 Includes commercial paper (note 8) designated at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet

The Banking Group 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. There are no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

  • Level 1 – Financial instruments that have been valued by reference to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments. This category includes financial instruments valued using quoted yields where available for specific debt securities.

  • Level 2 – Financial instruments that have been valued through valuation techniques incorporating inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for a similar financial asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3 – Financial instruments that have been valued using valuation techniques which incorporate significant inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

There have been no substantial changes in the valuation techniques applied to different classes of financial instruments during the period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

14. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK TO INDIVIDUAL COUNTERPARTIES

The Banking Group measures its concentration of credit risk to bank counterparties on the basis of actual exposures, and to non-bank counterparties on the basis of limits.

For the three months ended 30 June 2016 there was one bank counterparty, with a long term credit rating of BBB+ or its equivalent, where the Banking Group’s peak end-of-day credit exposure was 10% to 15% of the Banking Group’s equity as at the end of the period.

15. INSURANCE BUSINESS

The Banking Group conducts insurance business through its subsidiary OnePath Life (NZ) Limited (OnePath Life).

The Banking Group’s aggregate amount of insurance business comprises the total assets of OnePath Life of NZ$921 million (30/06/2015: NZ$862 million; 30/09/2015 NZ$884 million), which is 0.6% (30/06/2015: 0.6%; 30/09/2015 0.6%) of the total consolidated assets of the Banking Group.

The Banking Group guarantees the performance of customers by issuing standby letters of credit and guarantees to third parties, including its Ultimate Parent Bank. The risk involved is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, therefore these transactions are subjected to the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements for customers applying for loans. As the facilities may expire without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.

Other contingent liabilities

On 11 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 on 25 June 2013. The potential outcome of this litigation cannot be determined with any certainty at this stage.

The Banking Group has other contingent liabilities in respect of actual and possible claims and court proceedings.

An assessment of the Banking Group’s likely loss in respect of these matters has been made on a case-by-case basis and provision made where deemed necessary.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 12 August 2016 the Bank’s Board resolved to pay a preference dividend of NZ$6 million on 1 September 2016 and to pay an ordinary dividend of NZ$550 million no later than 30 September 2016.
