Rating Agency Rating Qualification
Standard & Poor’s AA- Outlook Negative
Moody’s Investors Service Aa2 Outlook Negative

Guarantors

No material obligations of the NZ Branch are guaranteed as at 16 February 2017.

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 31 December 2016 of NZ$4,960 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.

Financial Statements of the Ultimate Parent Bank and Overseas Banking Group

Copies of the most recent publicly available financial statements of the Ultimate Parent Bank and Overseas Banking Group will be provided immediately, free of charge, to any person requesting a copy where the request is made at the Registered Office.

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 31 December 2016, the NZ Branch held approximately NZ$5.5 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.

Jane Halton, AO, PSM was appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 21 October 2016.

Ian Macfarlane retired as a Non-Executive Director on 16 December 2016.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. SEGMENT ANALYSIS

ANZ New Zealand 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 year ended 30 September 2016, Wealth was integrated with Retail, having been disclosed separately previously. Segment reporting has been updated to reflect this change and other 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 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.

UDC Secured Investments are secured by a security interest granted under the Trust Deed over all of UDC Finance Limited's (UDC) present and future assets and undertakings, to Trustees Executors Limited, as supervisor. The assets subject to the security interest comprise mainly loans to UDC's customers and certain plant and equipment. The security interest secures all amounts payable by UDC on the UDC Secured Investments and all other moneys payable by UDC under the Trust Deed.

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.

1 These debt issuances are issued by ANZ New Zealand (Int’l) Limited and are guaranteed by the Bank.

Debt issuances, other than covered bonds, are unsecured and rank equally with other unsecured liabilities of ANZ New Zealand.

Domestic bonds includes two series of bonds quoted on the NZX Debt Market which mature on 2 September 2021 and 1 September 2023 respectively (the Bonds). NZX Regulation has granted the Bank a waiver in respect of the Bonds from the requirement in Main Board/Debt Market Listing Rule 5.2.3 (as modified by NZX’s ruling on Rule 5.2.3 issued on 29 September 2015) to enable the Bank to apply for quotation of the Bonds on the NZX Debt Market even though the Bonds may not initially be held by at least 100 members of the public holding at least 25% of the Bonds issued. The waiver has been granted for a period of 6 months from the relevant dates of quotation of the Bonds on the NZX Debt Market. The effect of the waiver from NZX Listing Rule 5.2.3 is that initially the Bonds may not be widely held and there may be reduced liquidity in the Bonds. To the extent that there is a material reduction in the spread of the Bonds, the Bank will notify NZX accordingly.

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

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. 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.

14. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK TO INDIVIDUAL COUNTERPARTIES

ANZ New Zealand 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 31 December 2016 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 end-of-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.

15. INSURANCE BUSINESS

ANZ New Zealand conducts insurance business through its subsidiary OnePath Life (NZ) Limited (OnePath Life).

ANZ New Zealand’s aggregate amount of insurance business comprises the total assets of OnePath Life of NZ$857 million (31/12/2015: NZ$881 million; 30/09/2016 NZ$926 million), which is 0.5% (31/12/2015: 0.6%; 30/09/2016 0.6%) of the total consolidated assets of ANZ New Zealand.

¹ The comparative amount for undrawn facilities as at 31 December 2015 has been reduced by NZ$5,353 million following a review of the composition of commitments.

ANZ New Zealand 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

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.
