Statutory profit attributable to shareholders of the Company was $3,631 million. This decreased $32 million (1%) compared to the March 2025 half and increased $1,259 million (53%) compared to the September 2025 half.

Cash profit, a non-IFRS measure, represents the Group's preferred measure of the result of its core business activities, enabling readers to assess Group and divisional performance against prior periods and against peer institutions. To calculate cash profit, the Group excludes non-core items from statutory profit. The adjustments made in arriving at cash profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to review within the context of the external auditor's review of the Consolidated Financial Report. Cash profit is not subject to review by the external auditor. The external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that cash profit has been determined on a consistent basis across each period presented.

The adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit were a $130 million loss for the March 2026 half (Sep 25 half: $30 million gain; Mar 25 half: $74 million gain) and are summarised below:

Adjustment Comment for the adjustment
Economic hedges
Mar 26 half: $144 million loss
Sep 25 half: $39 million loss
Mar 25 half: $167 million gain The Group enters into economic hedges to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange risk which, in accordance with accounting standards, result in fair value gains and losses being recognised in the Income Statement. Fair value adjustments are removed from cash profit since 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 derivatives not designated in accounting hedge relationships but which are considered to be economic hedges, including hedges of foreign currency debt issuances and foreign exchange denominated revenue and expense streams, primarily NZD and USD (and USD-correlated), as well as ineffectiveness from designated accounting hedges.
Revenue and expense hedges
Mar 26 half: $57 million gain
Sep 25 half: $112 million gain
Mar 25 half: $36 million loss The loss on economic hedges for the March 2026 half related to funding-related derivatives, mainly from the strengthening of the AUD against the USD and EUR.
The gain on revenue and expense hedges for the March 2026 half was driven by appreciation of the AUD against the USD and NZD.
Amortisation of acquired intangible assets
Mar 26 half: $43 million loss
Sep 25 half: $43 million loss
Mar 25 half: $57 million loss Amortisation of acquired intangible assets:
The acquisition of Suncorp Bank resulted in the recognition of intangible assets of $685 million comprising core deposit and brand intangibles, which are being amortised over their useful lives ranging between 3 to 6 years. The amortisation is removed from cash profit as the assets and associated amortisation only arise through acquisition accounting and would not occur in the ordinary course of business. A $43 million charge after-tax was recognised in the March 2026 half. The carrying value of the acquired intangible assets are $481 million as at 31 March 2026 (Sep 25: $542 million; Mar 25: $603 million).

March 2026 v March 2025

Cash profit attributable to shareholders of the Company increased $172 million (5%) compared with the March 2025 half.

  • Net interest income increased $33 million driven by a $25.1 billion increase in average interest earning assets, partially offset by a 3 bps decrease in net interest margin from 155 bps to 152 bps. The increase in average interest earning assets was driven by higher average net loans and advances and higher trading assets and investment securities, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation. The net interest margin decreased driven by the impact of Markets activities, assets pricing due to ongoing competition across most divisions and the timing impact of Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) rate changes, and deposits pricing driven by lower cash rates in New Zealand and international geographies. This was partially offset by higher earnings on replicating portfolio, a reduction in the average liquid asset balance in the Group Centre division, and favourable funding mix primarily from stronger growth in at-call deposits and overall deposit growth outpacing lending growth.
  • Other operating income increased $184 million (9%) driven by higher realised gains on economic hedges against foreign currency denominated revenue streams offsetting net unfavourable foreign currency translations elsewhere in the Group ($97 million), higher net fee and commission income ($61 million) due to higher scheme incentives and lower customer remediation in the Australia Retail division, and realised gains from liquid asset portfolio rebalancing activity in the Suncorp Bank division ($21 million). This was partially offset by lower Markets other operating income ($21 million).
  • Operating expenses decreased $163 million (3%) driven by lower restructuring expenses ($81 million) due to a reduction in operational changes across the Group, lower personnel expenses ($25 million) due to benefits from productivity initiatives, lower technology costs ($22 million), lower other expenses ($20 million), and lower premises expenses ($15 million).
  • Credit impairment charge increased $134 million (94%) driven by an increase in the collectively assessed credit impairment charge ($140 million) for downside risk associated with escalation of conflict in the Middle East increasing volatility in global financial markets, portfolio growth, and a net increase in management temporary adjustments for the revised forecast trajectory for cash rates. This was partially offset by lower individually assessed credit impairment ($6 million).

March 2026 v September 2025

Cash profit attributable to shareholders of the Company increased $1,419 million (61%) compared with the September 2025 half.

  • Net interest income decreased $194 million (2%) driven by a $9.8 billion decrease in average interest earning assets and a 2 bps decrease in net interest margin from 154 bps to 152 bps. The decrease in average interest earning assets was driven by lower average net loans and advances due to lower Markets activities and the impact of foreign currency translation. The net interest margin decreased driven by the impact of Markets activities, and assets pricing due to the timing impact of RBA rate changes and ongoing competition across most divisions, partially offset by higher earnings on replicating portfolio, favourable funding mix primarily from stronger growth in at-call deposits and overall deposit growth outpacing lending growth, and a reduction in the average liquid asset balance in the Group Centre division.
  • Other operating income increased $488 million (27%) driven by the impairment of P.T. Bank Pan Indonesia Tbk (PT Panin) in the September 2025 half ($285 million), higher realised gains on economic hedges against foreign currency denominated revenue streams offsetting net unfavourable foreign currency translations elsewhere in the Group ($105 million), higher Markets other operating income ($100 million) and realised gains from liquid asset portfolio rebalancing activity in the Suncorp Bank division ($26 million). This was partially offset by lower net fee and commission income ($41 million) mainly due to lower scheme incentives in the Australia Retail division and lower non-lending fees in the Institutional (excluding Markets) division, and a dividend from Bank of Tianjin ($21 million) in the September 2025 half.
  • Operating expenses decreased $1,474 million (21%) driven by lower restructuring expenses ($679 million) due to significant operating model changes announced in the September 2025 half, lower other expenses ($455 million) due to ASIC settlement ($271 million) in the September 2025 half and lower investment spend, lower technology expenses ($156 million) due to accelerated software amortisation and impairments on certain technology assets in the September 2025 half, ongoing technology simplification, and lower amortisation due to change in useful lives of select strategic software assets, lower personnel expenses ($155 million) due to benefits from productivity initiatives, and lower premises expenses ($29 million) due to lower depreciation charge.
  • Credit impairment charge decreased $15 million (5%) driven by a decrease in individually assessed credit impairment ($13 million).

March 2026 v March 2025

  • Cash / Settlement balances owed to ANZ / Collateral paid decreased $22.4 billion (11%) driven by a decrease in balance with central banks ($40.5 billion), and the impact of foreign currency translation. This was partially offset by increases in short-dated reverse repurchase agreements ($11.0 billion), settlement balances owed to ANZ ($10.3 billion), and overnight interbank deposits ($6.1 billion).
  • Trading assets and investment securities increased $14.8 billion (7%) driven by increases in government and semi-government bonds, treasury bills, and commodities, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation.
  • Derivative financial assets and liabilities increased $18.3 billion (37%) and $15.2 billion (34%) respectively, mainly driven by market movements, primarily the appreciation of the AUD and other major currencies against USD.
  • Net loans and advances increased $1.4 billion driven by increases across the Australia Retail ($12.6 billion), New Zealand ($5.6 billion), and Suncorp Bank ($2.5 billion) divisions due to home loan growth, the Business & Private Bank division ($2.5 billion) due to higher business lending volumes, and the Institutional (excluding Markets) division ($2.4 billion) due to higher core lending volumes. This was partially offset by a decrease in Markets ($6.1 billion) mainly due to a reduction in reverse repurchase agreements, and the impact of foreign currency translation.
  • Settlement balances owed by ANZ / Collateral received increased $17.5 billion (67%) driven primarily by increases in trade-dated liabilities.
  • Deposits and other borrowings decreased $12.8 billion (1%) driven by decreases across deposits from banks and repurchase agreements ($10.8 billion), commercial paper ($9.7 billion), and the impact of foreign currency translation. This was partially offset by higher customer deposits across the Institutional ($22.4 billion), Australia Retail ($6.1 billion), Business & Private Bank ($4.5 billion), and New Zealand ($4.2 billion) divisions.
  • Debt issuances decreased $9.1 billion (5%) driven by maturities of senior debt, and the impact of foreign currency translation.

March 2026 v September 2025

  • Derivative financial assets and liabilities increased $20.4 billion (43%) and $15.6 billion (36%) respectively, mainly driven by market movements, primarily the appreciation of the AUD and other major currencies against USD.
  • Net loans and advances decreased $7.7 billion (1%) driven by a decrease in Markets ($13.4 billion) mainly due to a reduction in reverse repurchase agreements, and the impact of foreign currency translation. This was partially offset by increases in the Institutional (excluding Markets) division ($6.0 billion) due to higher core lending volumes, the Australia Retail ($4.7 billion) and New Zealand ($2.7 billion) divisions due to home loan growth, and the Business & Private Bank division ($1.3 billion) due to higher business lending volumes.
  • Settlement balances owed by ANZ / Collateral received increased $5.2 billion (14%) driven by an increase in collateral received.
  • Deposits and other borrowings increased $4.4 billion driven by higher customer deposits in the Institutional ($23.9 billion), Business & Private Bank ($4.9 billion), Australia Retail ($2.9 billion) and New Zealand ($2.5 billion) divisions, and an increase in commercial paper ($2.9 billion). This was partially offset by decreases across deposits from banks and repurchase agreements ($11.1 billion) and certificates of deposit ($6.1 billion), and the impact of foreign currency translation.
  • Debt issuances decreased $8.8 billion (5%) driven by maturities of senior debt, and the impact of foreign currency translation.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Liquidity Half Year Average Movement
Mar 26 Sep 25 Mar 25 Mar 26 v. Sep 25 Mar 26 v. Mar 25
Total liquid assets ($B) 308.8 319.5 306.0 -3% 1%
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (%) 132% 133% 132% -1% 0%

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 Liquidity Coverage Ratio (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): Eligible securities listed by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ).

The Group monitors and manages the size and composition of its liquid assets portfolio on an ongoing basis in line with regulatory requirements and the risk appetite set by the Board. The LCR remained above the regulatory minimum thresholds throughout the periods.

Net Stable Funding Ratio (%) 115% 115% 117% 0% -2%

The Group targets a diversified funding base, avoiding undue concentration by investor type, maturity, market source and currency.

During the March 2026 half, the Group issued $15.5 billion of term wholesale funding (excluding unsubordinated debt with shorter tenors of 12 to 18 months).

Net Stable Funding Ratio remained above the regulatory minimum of 100% throughout this period.

Capital Management As at Movement
Mar 26 Sep 25 Mar 25 Mar 26 v. Sep 25 Mar 26 v. Mar 25
APRA Common Tier Equity 1 12.4% 12.0% 11.8%
Credit risk weighted assets ($B) 366.4 369.6 378.1 -1% -3%
Total risk weighted assets ($B) 464.0 458.5 469.0 1% -1%
APRA Leverage Ratio 4.5% 4.4% 4.4%

Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), under the authority of the Banking Act 1959, sets minimum regulatory requirements for banks including what is acceptable as regulatory capital and provides methods of measuring the risks incurred by the Bank.

The Group's APRA Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 12.4% at 31 March 2026, which is above APRA's minimum requirements. The increase of 36 bps during the March 2026 half was driven by the impact of current period earnings, and the reinvestment of NOHC surplus capital into ANZBGL group. This was partially offset by the 2025 final dividend paid during the period, risk weighted assets (RWA) growth reflecting higher interest rate risk in the banking book RWA and lending growth driven higher credit RWA, and capital floor adjustment.

At 31 March 2026, the Group's APRA Leverage Ratio was 4.5% which is above the 3.5% minimum for Internal Ratings Based Authorised Deposit-taking Institution, which includes ANZ.

Issue of Ordinary Shares

During the March 2026 half, the Company issued 81,593,214 shares (Sep 2025 half: nil; Mar 2025 half: nil) to its intermediate holding company, ANZ BH Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ANZGHL), for $1,930 million (Sep 2025 half: nil; Mar 2025 half: nil).

Dividend

ANZBGL paid a 2025 final dividend of $2,407 million to its intermediate holding company, ANZ BH Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ANZGHL, during the March 2026 half.

The Directors proposed a 2026 interim dividend of $2,502 million to be paid to ANZ BH Pty Ltd on 1 July 2026, with the final amount subject to the outcome of the ANZGHL Bonus Option Plan.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. Basis of preparation

These are the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group) for the half year ended 31 March 2026. 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 ANZBGL’s Annual Financial Report for the year ended 30 September 2025 and any public announcements made by the Group for the half year ended 31 March 2026 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 an annual report;
  • are presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated; and
  • were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 April 2026.

i) Statement of Compliance

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting which ensured compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

ii) 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 Corporations Instrument 2016/191.

iii) Basis of measurement and presentation

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

  • derivative financial instruments and in the case of fair value hedging, a fair value adjustment made to the underlying hedged item;
  • financial instruments held for trading;
  • financial instruments designated at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL); and
  • financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

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

iv) 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 2025 ANZBGL Annual Report. New and revised standards and interpretations issued by the AASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are effective for the half year ended 31 March 2026 did not result in changes to the Group's accounting policies.

v) Use of estimates, assumptions and judgements

The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires the use of management judgement, estimates and assumptions impacting the application of accounting policies and financial outcomes. Discussion of the critical accounting estimates and judgements, which include complex or subjective decisions or assessments are provided in the 2025 ANZBGL Annual Report and updated as necessary within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Such estimates and judgements are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

The Group has made various accounting estimates in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on forecasts of economic conditions which reflect expectations and assumptions used at 31 March 2026 about future events considered reasonable in the circumstances. There is a considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these estimates. The assumptions and judgements made in relation to significant accounting estimates are discussed further below.

Expected Credit Losses

The significant accounting estimate predominantly impacted by these forecasts and associated uncertainties are expected credit losses, including key economic assumptions and the application of probability weightings to a number of economic scenarios. Actual economic conditions are likely to be different from those forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of these differences may significantly impact the Group's accounting estimates included in these financial statements. Refer to Note 8 Allowance for expected credit losses for key judgements and assumptions in estimating collectively assessed ECL.

  1. Basis of preparation, cont'd

Investments in Associates – PT Panin

The Group assesses the carrying value of its investments in associates for impairment indicators. Significant management judgment is required to determine the key assumptions underpinning the value-in-use (VIU) calculation for PT Bank Pan Indonesia Tbk (PT Panin). Factors that may change in subsequent periods and lead to potential future impairments, or reversals of prior impairments, include changes in forecast earning levels in the near and medium term and/or changes in the long-term growth forecasts, changes to required levels of regulatory capital and the post-tax discount rate arising from changes in the risk premium or risk-free rates. Refer to Note 15 Investments in associates for the assumptions utilised in the VIU calculation.

Provisions

The Group recognises provisions for various obligations including restructuring costs, customer remediation, non-lending losses, frauds and forgeries, and litigation-related claims. These provisions involve judgements regarding the timing and outcome of future events, including estimates of expenditure required to satisfy these obligations. The appropriateness of the underlying assumptions is reviewed on a regular basis against actual experience and other relevant evidence, including for example expert legal advice, and adjustments are made to provisions where appropriate.

6. Segment reporting

i) Description of segments

The Group operates a divisional structure with seven divisions: Australia Retail, Business & Private Bank (formerly known as Australia Commercial), Institutional, New Zealand, Suncorp Bank, Pacific, and Group Centre. Operating segments presented below are consistent with internal divisional reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, being the Chief Executive Officer.

The presentation of divisional results has been impacted by the creation of a new Group Operations function within the Group Centre division during the March 2026 half to better support the bank's strategy. Group Operations brings together operations, business services and enterprise services teams from across the bank to deliver a consistent catalogue of shared services, streamline operations, and support for each division more effectively. The establishment of Group Operations primarily impacted divisional full-time equivalent (FTEs) employees, the impacts on divisional income statement and balance sheet items were not material.

Prior period comparatives have been restated.

ii) Operating segments

The Group measures the performance of operating segments on a cash profit basis. To calculate cash profit, the Group excludes certain items from profit after-tax attributable to shareholders. These adjustments relate to the impacts of economic hedges and revenue and expense hedges, which represent timing differences that will reverse through earnings in the future, and the amortisation of intangible assets recognised as a result of the Suncorp Bank acquisition.

Transactions between divisions across segments within the Group are conducted on an arm's length basis and where relevant disclosed as part of the income and expenses of these segments.

Key judgements and estimates

Individually assessed allowance for ECL

In estimating individually assessed ECL, the Group makes judgements and assumptions in relation to expected repayments, the realisable value of collateral, business prospects for the customer, competing claims and the likely cost and duration of the work-out process.

Collectively assessed allowance for ECL

In estimating collectively assessed ECL, the Group makes judgements and assumptions in relation to:

  • the selection of an estimation technique or modelling methodology; and
  • the selection of inputs for those models, and the interdependencies between those inputs.

The judgements and associated assumptions have been made within the context of the uncertainty of how various factors might impact the global economy, and reflect historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group's ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The key judgements and assumptions in estimating collectively assessed ECL are presented below.

Base case economic forecast assumptions

The economic drivers of the base case economic forecasts, reflective of ANZ Economics' view of future macro-economic conditions, used at 31 March 2026 are set out below. For years beyond the near-term forecasts below, the ECL models apply simplified assumptions for the economic conditions to calculate lifetime loss. There is a high level of estimation uncertainty when forming these forecasts.

The base case economic forecasts for Australia are for a pace of growth broadly consistent with the economy's ability to grow over the medium term, and reflect the impact of interest rate adjustments and modest tax cuts. In New Zealand, economic recovery and a return to growth is forecast, supported by lower interest rates, favourable terms of trade and a declining unemployment rate. However, as these base case economic forecasts do not capture the current and potential future uncertainty and volatility arising from the recent conflict in the Middle East, scenario weightings have been applied to reflect the Group's assessment of downside risks, as discussed below.

GDP (annual average % change) 1.9 2.0 2.0
Unemployment rate (annual average) 4.2 4.3 4.4

Probability weightings

Probability weightings for each scenario are determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case economic scenario including the uncertainties described above.

The key consideration for probability weightings in the current period is the heightened downside risks arising from the recent conflict in the Middle East, which increases volatility in global financial markets. Accordingly, greater weight has been applied to the severe downside scenario, reflecting the Group's assessment of downside risks.

The assigned probability weightings in Australia, New Zealand and Rest of World are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be significantly different to those projected. The Group considers these weightings in each geography to provide estimates of the possible loss outcomes and taking into account short and long-term inter-relationships within the Group's credit portfolios.

Average weighting applied across the Group are summarised in the table below:

Mar 26 Sep 25 Mar 25
Group
Base 46% 46% 46%
Upside 1% 1% 1%
Downside 38% 40% 40%
Severe downside 15% 13% 13%

ECL - Sensitivity analysis

Given inherent economic uncertainties and the judgement applied to factors used in determining the expected default of borrowers in future periods, ECL reported by the Group should be considered as a best estimate within a range of possible estimates.

The table below illustrates the sensitivity of the Group's allowance for collectively assessed ECL to key factors used in determining it at 31 March 2026:

Balance Sheet $M Impact $M
If 1% of stage 1 facilities were included in stage 2 4,504 51
If 1% of stage 2 facilities were included in stage 1 4,447 (6)

100% base scenario 2,000 (2,453)

11. Credit risk

Maximum exposure to credit risk

For financial assets recognised on the balance sheet, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount. In certain circumstances there may be differences between the carrying amounts reported on the balance sheet and the amounts reported in the tables below. Principally, these differences arise in respect of financial assets that are subject to risks other than credit risk, such as equity instruments which are primarily subject to market risk, or bank notes and coins.

For undrawn facilities, this maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facilities. For contingent exposures, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum amount the Group would have to pay if the instrument is called upon.

The table below shows the maximum exposure to credit risk of on-balance sheet, and off-balance sheet positions before taking account of any collateral held or other credit enhancements:

Credit Quality

The Group's internal Customer Credit Rating (CCR) is used to manage the credit quality of financial assets. To enable wider comparisons, the Group's CCRs are mapped to external rating agency scales as follows:

Credit Quality Description Internal CCR ANZ Customer Requirement Moody's Rating Standard & Poor's Rating
Strong CCR 0+ to 4- Demonstrated superior stability in their operating and financial performance over the long-term, and whose earnings capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events. Aaa - Baa3 AAA - BBB-
Satisfactory CCR 5+ to 6- Demonstrated sound operational and financial stability over the medium to long term even though some may be susceptible to cyclical trends or variability in earnings. Ba1 - B1 BB+ - B+
Weak CCR 7+ to 8= Demonstrated some operational and financial instability, with variability and uncertainty in profitability and liquidity projected to continue over the short and possibly medium term. B2 - Caa B - CCC
Non-performing CCR 8- to 10 When doubt arises as to the collectability of a credit facility, the financial instrument (or 'the facility') is classified as non-performing. N/A N/A

12. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities

The Group recognises and measures financial instruments at either fair value or amortised cost, with a significant number of financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value.

Fair value is the best estimate of the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The following tables set out the classification of financial assets and liabilities according to their measurement bases with their carrying amounts as recognised on the balance sheet.

12. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, cont'd

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are generally determined at the individual instrument level. If the Group holds offsetting risk positions, then the portfolio exception in AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (AASB 13) is used to measure the fair value of such groups of financial assets and financial liabilities. The Group measures the portfolio based on the price that would be received to sell a net long position (an asset) for a particular risk exposure, or to transfer a net short position (a liability) for a particular risk exposure.

a) Fair value designation

The Group designates certain loans and advances, deposits and other borrowings and debt issuances as fair value through profit or loss:

  • where they contain separable embedded derivatives and are managed on a fair value basis, the total fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss in the same period as the movement on any associated hedging instruments; or
  • in order to eliminate an accounting mismatch which would arise if the assets or liabilities were otherwise carried at amortised cost. This mismatch arises due to measuring the derivative financial instruments (used to mitigate interest rate risk of these assets or liabilities) at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group's approach ensures that it recognises the fair value movements on the assets or liabilities in profit or loss in the same period as the movement on the associated derivatives.

The Group may also designate certain loans and advances, deposits and other borrowings and debt issuances as fair value through profit or loss where they are managed on a fair value basis to align the measurement with how the financial instruments are managed.

b) Fair value approach and valuation techniques

The Group uses valuation techniques to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities for recognition, measurement and disclosure purposes where no quoted price in an active market for that asset or liability exists. This includes the following:

Asset or Liability Fair Value Approach
Financial instruments classified as:
• Derivative financial assets and financial liabilities (including trading and non-trading)
• Repurchase agreements less than 90 days
• Net loans and advances
• Deposits and other borrowings
• Debt issuances Discounted cash flow (DCF) techniques are used whereby contractual future cash flows of the instrument are discounted using wholesale market interest rates, or market borrowing rates for debt or loans with similar maturities or yield curves appropriate for the remaining term to maturity.
Other financial instruments held for trading:
• Securities sold short
• Debt and equity securities Valuation techniques are used that incorporate observable market inputs for financial instruments with similar credit risk, maturity and yield characteristics.
Equity securities where an active market does not exist are measured using comparable company valuation multiples (such as price-to-book ratios).
Financial instruments classified as:
• Investment securities – debt or equity Valuation techniques use comparable multiples (such as price-to-book ratios) or DCF techniques incorporating, to the extent possible, observable inputs from instruments with similar characteristics.

There were no significant changes to valuation approaches during the current or prior periods.

c) Fair value hierarchy

The Group categorises assets and liabilities carried at fair value into a fair value hierarchy in accordance with AASB 13 based on the observability of inputs used to measure the fair value:

  • Level 1 - valuations based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 - valuations using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for a similar asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 - valuations where significant unobservable inputs are used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability.

There were no significant changes to levelling approaches during the current or prior periods.

Fair value measurements incorporating unobservable market data

a) Level 3 fair value measurements

Level 3 financial instruments are a net asset of $1,084 million (Sep 25: $1,059 million; Mar 25: $1,456 million). The assets and liabilities which incorporate significant unobservable inputs are:

  • equity and debt securities for which there is no active market or traded prices cannot be observed;
  • loans and advances measured at fair value for which there is no observable market data; and
  • derivatives referencing market rates that cannot be observed primarily due to lack of market activity.

Level 3 Transfers

There were no material transfers into or out of Level 3 during the period.

The material Level 3 financial instruments as at 31 March 2026 are summarised below:

i) Investment securities - equity holdings classified as FVOCI

Bank of Tianjin (BoT)

The Group holds an investment in the Bank of Tianjin. The investment is valued based on comparative price-to-book (P/B) multiples (a P/B multiple is the ratio of the market value of equity to the book value of equity). The extent of judgement applied in determining the appropriate multiple and comparator group from which the multiple is derived resulted in the Level 3 classification. As at 31 March 2026, the BoT equity holding balance was $875 million (Sep 25: $843 million, Mar 25: $1,097 million). The increase in BoT fair valuation during the March 2026 half was driven by an increase in the book value and P/B multiple used in the valuation, and the impact of foreign currency translation.

Other equity investments

The Group holds $102 million (Sep 25: $100 million; Mar 25: $99 million) of unlisted equities classified as FVOCI, for which there are no active markets or traded prices available, resulting in a Level 3 classification. The movement in unlisted equity holdings during the March 2026 half was mainly due to revaluation and foreign currency translation impacts.

ii) Net loans and advances - classified as FVTPL

Syndicated loans

The Group holds $95 million (Sep 25: $88 million; Mar 25: $233 million) of syndicated loans for sale which are measured at FVTPL for which there is no observable market data available. The increase in the Level 3 loan balances for the March 2026 half was mainly due to new holdings offset by scheduled repayments and foreign currency translation impact.

b) Sensitivity to level 3 data inputs

When we make assumptions due to significant inputs to a valuation not being directly observable (Level 3 inputs), then changing these assumptions changes the Group's estimate of the instrument's fair value. Favourable and unfavourable changes are determined by changing the primary unobservable parameters used to derive fair valuation.

Investment securities - equity holdings

The valuations of the equity investments are sensitive to variations in selected unobservable inputs, with valuation techniques used including P/B multiples and discounted cash flow techniques. If for example, a 10% increase or decrease to the primary input into the valuations were to occur (such as the P/B multiple), it would result in a $98 million increase or decrease in the fair value of the portfolio, which would be recognised in shareholders' equity in the Group, with no impact to net profit or loss.

Net loans and advances

Syndicated loan valuations are sensitive to credit spreads in determining their fair valuation. For the syndicated loans which are primarily investment-grade loans, an increase or decrease in credit spreads would have an immaterial impact on net profit or net assets of the Group. For the remaining syndicated loans, the Group may, where deemed necessary, utilise Credit Risk Insurance to mitigate the credit risks associated with those loans. The effect of this would also result in an immaterial impact to the net profit or net assets of the Group.

Other

The remaining Level 3 balance is immaterial and changes in inputs have a minimal impact on net profit and net assets of the Group.

c) Deferred fair value gains and losses

Where fair value is determined using unobservable inputs significant to the fair value of a financial instrument, the Group does not immediately recognise the difference between the transaction price and the amount determined based on the valuation technique (day one gains or losses) in profit or loss. After initial recognition, the Group recognises the deferred amount in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the life of the transaction or until all inputs become observable. Day one gains and losses which have been deferred are not material.

Financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value

The financial assets and financial liabilities listed below are measured at amortised cost on the Group's balance sheet. While this is the value at which we expect the assets will be realised and the liabilities settled, the Group provides an estimate of the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities at balance date in the table below.

Fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortised cost not included in the table below approximate their carrying values.

Impairment assessment

The Group assesses the carrying value of its investments in associates for impairment indicators. The impairment assessment identified that one of the Group's associated investments, PT Panin, had indicators of impairment as a result of its carrying value exceeding its fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) at times throughout the March 2026 half. No impairment was recognised as the Group determined its recoverable amount based on its value-in-use (VIU) exceeded its carrying value at 31 March 2026. Further details of the VIU assessment are outlined below.

Key judgements and estimates

The Group assesses the carrying value of its investments in associates for impairment indicators. Significant management judgment is required to determine the key assumptions underpinning the VIU calculation for PT Panin.

Factors that may change in subsequent periods and lead to potential future impairments, or reversals of prior impairments, include changes in forecast earnings levels in the near and medium term and/or changes in the long-term growth forecasts, changes to required levels of regulatory capital and the post-tax discount rate arising from changes in the risk premium or risk-free rates.

The key assumptions used in the VIU calculation are outlined below:

As at 31 March 2026 PT Panin
Post-tax discount rate 13.4%
Terminal growth rate 5.1%
Expected earnings growth (compound annual growth rate – 5 years) 8.4%
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (closing level at 2030) 27.1%

The VIU calculations are sensitive to changes in the underlying assumptions with reasonably possible changes in key assumptions having a positive or negative impact on the VIU outcome, and as such the recoverable amount of the investment including reducing the recoverable amount below its carrying value.

  • A change in the March 2026 post-tax discount rate by +/- 50 bps would impact the VIU outcome for PT Panin by ($58 million)/$65 million;
  • A change in the March 2026 terminal growth rate by +/- 25 bps would impact the VIU outcome for PT Panin by $24 million/($23 million).

16. Related party disclosure

There have been no transactions with related parties that are significant to understanding the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since 30 September 2025.

Other 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.

A description of the contingent liabilities and contingent assets as at 31 March 2026 is set out below.

Contingent liabilities

Regulatory, customer and third-party exposures

The Group regularly engages with its domestic and international regulators and other statutory and supervisory bodies. The nature of these regulatory interactions can be wide ranging and include regulatory investigations, surveillance and reviews, reportable situations, formal and informal inquiries and regulatory supervisory activities in Australia, New Zealand and globally. The Group also receives notices and requests for information from its regulators and other bodies from time to time as part of both industry-wide and Group-specific reviews and makes disclosures to its regulators at its own instigation.

Matters in relation to which the Group has recently engaged with its regulators include:

  • the ASIC Matters Resolution Program within the Australia Retail division, which covers a range of areas, specifically: ANZ's Online Saver product, hardship processes, deceased estates, breach reporting, event management, customer remediation and complaints;
  • anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations, processes and procedures;
  • Common Reporting Standard and Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act obligations, processes and reporting; and
  • non-financial risk (NFR) management practices including the application of interest and fees on certain products and the financial accountability regime.

The possible exposures associated with the Group's regulatory interactions may include civil enforcement actions, criminal proceedings, fines and penalties, imposition of capital or liquidity requirements, customer remediation, the requirement to conduct independent reviews, sanctions or the exercise of other regulatory powers.

There may also be exposures to customers, third parties and shareholders which are additional to any regulatory exposures. These could include class actions or claims for compensation or other remedies.

The outcomes and total costs associated with these possible regulatory, customer and other exposures remain uncertain.

Non-financial risk management enforceable undertaking

On 3 April 2025, the Group announced it had entered into a court enforceable undertaking (CEU) with APRA for matters relating to NFR management practices and risk culture across the Group and accepted an additional operational risk capital overlay of $250 million.

The CEU followed ongoing conversations between the Group and APRA regarding APRA's concerns about the Group's NFR management practices and risk culture. It also followed the emergence of issues in ANZBGL's Global Markets business which led to APRA in August 2024 expressing its concerns about the Group's NFR uplift program of work.

As part of the CEU agreed with APRA, the Group appointed an independent reviewer to conduct an enterprise-wide independent review to identify the root causes and behavioural drivers of shortcomings in ANZ's NFR management practices and NFR culture. On 30 September 2025, ANZ submitted its Root Cause Remediation Plan (RCRP) to APRA as required by the CEU. ANZ has appointed Promontory to provide independent assurance of its progress against the RCRP.

The CEU provides that upon any breach of the terms of the CEU, APRA may take regulatory action as it considers appropriate in the circumstances, including action under section 18A of the Banking Act 1959 (Cth).

17. Commitments, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, cont'd

  • South African rate action

In February 2017, the South African Competition Commission commenced proceedings against local and international banks including the Company alleging breaches of the cartel provisions of the South African Competition Act in respect of trading in the South African rand. The potential civil penalty or other financial impact is uncertain.

  • OnePath superannuation litigation

In December 2020, a class action was brought against OnePath Custodians, OnePath Life and the Company alleging that OnePath Custodians breached its obligations under superannuation legislation, and its duties as trustee, in respect of superannuation investments and fees. The claim also alleges that the Company was involved in some of OnePath Custodians' investment breaches. An agreement to settle the claim was reached in October 2024. The Company will contribute $14 million to the settlement, which is covered by existing provisions held. The settlement is without admission of liability and was approved by the Federal Court of Australia on 20 March 2026. The period in which the Court approval may be appealed expires on 8 May 2026.

  • New Zealand loan information litigation

In September 2021, a representative proceeding was brought against ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, alleging breaches of disclosure requirements under consumer credit legislation in respect of variation letters sent to certain loan customers. ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited is defending the allegations.

  • Security recovery actions

Various claims have been made or are anticipated, arising from security recovery actions taken to resolve impaired assets. These claims will be defended.

  • Warranties, indemnities and performance management fees

The Group has provided warranties, indemnities and other commitments in favour of the seller/purchaser and other persons in connection with various acquisitions/disposals of businesses and assets and other transactions, covering a range of matters and risks. It is exposed to claims under those warranties, indemnities and commitments, some of which are currently active. The outcomes and total costs associated with these exposures remain uncertain.

The Group has entered into an arrangement to pay performance fees to external fund managers in the event predetermined performance criteria are satisfied in relation to certain Group investments. The satisfaction of the performance criteria and associated performance fee remains uncertain.

  • Clearing and settlement obligations

Certain group companies have a commitment to comply with rules governing various clearing and settlement arrangements which could result in a credit risk exposure and loss if another member institution fails to settle its payment clearing activities. The Group's potential exposure arising from these arrangements is unquantifiable in advance.

Certain group companies hold memberships of central clearing houses, including ASX Clear (Futures), London Clearing House (LCH) SwapClear, Korea Exchange (KRX), Hong Kong Exchange (HKEX), the Clearing Corporation of India, Taiwan Futures Exchange and the Shanghai Clearing House. These memberships allow the relevant group company to centrally clear derivative instruments in line with cross-border regulatory requirements. Common to all of these memberships is the requirement for the relevant group company to make default fund contributions. In the event of a default by another member, the relevant group company could potentially be required to commit additional default fund contributions which are unquantifiable in advance.

  • Parent entity guarantees

Certain group companies have issued letters of comfort and guarantees in respect of certain subsidiaries in the normal course of business. Under these letters and guarantees, the issuing entity undertakes to ensure that those subsidiaries continue to meet their financial obligations, subject to certain conditions including that the subsidiary remains a controlled entity.

Contingent assets

  • National Housing Bank

The Company is pursuing recovery of the proceeds of certain disputed cheques which were credited to the account of a former Grindlays customer in the early 1990s.

The disputed cheques were drawn on the National Housing Bank (NHB) in India. Proceedings between Grindlays and NHB concerning the proceeds of the cheques were resolved in early 2002.

Recovery is now being pursued from the estate of the Grindlays customer who received the cheque proceeds. Any amounts recovered are to be shared between the Company and NHB.

AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT AND INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

KPMG

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the shareholders of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (the Group).

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited do not comply with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 March 2026 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and
  • complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements comprise:

  • The condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2026;
  • The condensed consolidated income statement, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the half year ended on that date;
  • Notes 1 to 18 including selected explanatory notes; and
  • The Directors' Declaration.

The Group comprises Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled at the half year's end or from time to time during the half year.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board Limited (the Code) that are relevant to audits of the annual financial reports of public interest entities in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Directors of the Company are responsible for:

  • the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; and
  • such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that gives a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on our review. ASRE 2410 and ISRE 2410 require us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 March 2026 and its performance for the half year ended on that date, and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
