¹ Non-controlling interests comprise perpetual preference shares (PPS) that qualify as additional tier 1 (AT1) capital for the Bank. In December 2025, RBNZ released its 2025 capital review decisions, which stated that it will remove AT1 capital from the regulatory capital framework and that regulatory capital recognition of instruments that qualify as AT1 capital will be fully phased out. The Bank has determined that a regulatory event has occurred in respect of the PPS. The occurrence of a regulatory event means that the Bank may choose to redeem the PPS at its discretion, subject to certain conditions including prior written approval of RBNZ. As at 5 May 2026, no decision has been made on whether the Bank will redeem the PPS.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

1. About our interim financial statements

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for ANZBGL New Zealand have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Order and should be read in conjunction with ANZBGL New Zealand's financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025.

On 5 May 2026, the Directors resolved to authorise the issue of these interim financial statements.

Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comply with:

  • New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP), as defined in the Financial Reporting Act 2013;
  • NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate for publicly accountable for-profit entities; and
  • IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of ANZBGL New Zealand comprise the financial statements of the NZ Branch and all of the New Zealand businesses of all the subsidiaries of the Ultimate Parent Bank.

We present the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of ANZBGL New Zealand in New Zealand dollars and have rounded values to the nearest million dollars (NZ$m), unless otherwise stated.

The accounting policies adopted by ANZBGL New Zealand are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the previous full year financial statements.

Basis of measurement and presentation

The financial information has been prepared on a historical cost basis – except the following assets and liabilities which we have stated at their fair value:

  • 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 assets and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and
  • financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

Key judgements and estimates

In the process of applying ANZBGL New Zealand's accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements and applied estimates and assumptions about past and future events. Discussion of the critical accounting estimates and judgements, which include complex or subjective decisions or assessments, are provided in the previous full year financial statements. Such estimates and judgements are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

ANZBGL New Zealand made various accounting estimates in these interim 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. Thus, there is a considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing these estimates. 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 accounting estimates included in these interim financial statements. The significant accounting estimates impacted by these forecasts and associated uncertainties are predominantly related to expected credit losses and recoverable amounts of non-financial assets.

The assumptions and judgements made in relation to significant accounting estimates are discussed further in the relevant notes in these interim financial statements and/or in the relevant notes in the previous full year financial statements. Readers should consider these disclosures in light of the uncertainties described above.

5. Allowance for expected credit losses (continued)

Key judgements and estimates

Collectively assessed allowance for expected credit losses

In estimating collectively assessed ECL, ANZBGL New Zealand 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. ANZBGL New Zealand'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 ANZBGL New Zealand's view of future macroeconomic conditions used at 31 March 2026 are set out below. For the years following 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 are for an economic recovery and a return to growth, 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 ANZBGL New Zealand's assessment of downside risks, as discussed below.

Actual calendar year 2025 Forecast calendar year
2026 2027
New Zealand
GDP (annual average % change) 0.4 2.6 2.8
Unemployment rate (annual average as a %) 5.3 5.1 4.7
Residential property prices (annual % change) (0.1) 2.0 4.5
Consumer price index (annual average % change) 2.8 2.5 2.0

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 ANZBGL New Zealand's assessment of downside risks.

The assigned probability weightings are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be significantly different to those projected. The Bank considers these weightings to provide estimates of the possible loss outcomes and taking into account short and long term inter-relationships within ANZBGL New Zealand's credit portfolios. The weightings applied are set out below:

31 Mar 26 30 Sep 25
Base 50.00% 50.00%
Upside 3.50% 3.75%
Downside 31.50% 33.75%
Severe downside 15.00% 12.50%

Key judgements and estimates

ECL - Sensitivity analysis

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

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

Total NZ$m Impact on total^{1} NZ$m
Collectively assessed ECL as at 31 March 2026 (refer to page 12) 733 -
If 1% of Stage 1 facilities were included in Stage 2 739 +6
If 1% of Stage 2 facilities were included in Stage 1 732 -1
100% upside scenario 282 -451
100% base scenario 353 -380
100% downside scenario 792 +59
100% severe downside scenario 1,699 +966
  1. There is an inverse and proportionate impact on profit or loss.

Individually assessed allowance for expected credit losses

In estimating individually assessed ECL, ANZBGL New Zealand 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. Judgements and assumptions in respect of these matters have been updated to reflect amongst other things, the uncertainties described above and in Note 1 About our interim financial statements.

7. Debt issuances

ANZBGL New Zealand uses a variety of funding programmes to issue unsubordinated debt (including senior debt and covered bonds) and subordinated debt. The difference between unsubordinated debt and subordinated debt is that, in a winding up of the issuer, holders of unsubordinated debt rank in priority to holders of subordinated debt. Subordinated debt will be repaid only after the repayment of claims of depositors and other creditors (including holders of unsubordinated debt) of that issuer.

| Subordinated debt | 3,303 | 3,236 |
| Total debt issued | 20,488 | 17,766 |

The Bank has guaranteed the payment of interest and principal of covered bonds issued by its subsidiary ANZ New Zealand (Int'l) Limited. This obligation is 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 Trust). The Covered Bond Trust is a member of the Banking Group. 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. The covered bonds have been assigned a long term rating of Aaa and AAA by Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings respectively. Refer to page 24 for the carrying amount of assets transferred to the ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust pledged as security for covered bonds.

8. Credit risk

This note should be read in conjunction with the estimates, assumptions and judgements included in Note 1 About our interim financial statements and Note 5 Allowance for expected credit losses.

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 ANZBGL New Zealand would have to pay if the instrument is called upon.

The table below shows our 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.

2 Other financial assets mainly comprise accrued interest and acceptances.
3 Undrawn and contingent facilities include guarantees, letters of credit and performance related contingencies, net of collectively assessed and individually assessed allowance for expected credit losses.

Credit quality

We use ANZBGL New Zealand's internal customer credit rating (CCR) to manage the credit quality of financial assets. To enable wider comparisons, ANZBGL New Zealand's CCRs are mapped to external rating agency scales as follows:

Credit quality description Internal CCR ANZBGL New Zealand customer requirements Moody's Ratings S&P Global Ratings
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

9. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities

ANZBGL New Zealand 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 together with their carrying amounts as recognised on the Balance Sheet.

Total 184,062 16,916 200,978 173,835 17,913 191,748

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value

The fair valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities is generally determined at the individual instrument level.

If ANZBGL New Zealand holds offsetting risk positions, then the portfolio exception in NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (NZ IFRS 13) is used to measure the fair value of such groups of financial assets and financial liabilities. ANZBGL New Zealand 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.

Fair value designation

ANZBGL New Zealand designates certain Net loans and advances and Deposits and other borrowings as FVTPL where they are managed on a fair value basis to align the measurement with how the financial instruments are managed.

Fair value approach and valuation techniques

We use 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 exists for that asset or liability. This includes the following:

Asset or liability Fair value approach
Financial instruments classified as: 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.
- 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
Other financial instruments held for trading:
- Securities sold short Valuation techniques are used that incorporate observable market inputs for financial instruments with similar credit risk, maturity and yield characteristics.
Financial instruments classified as: 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.
- Trading securities
- Investment securities

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

9. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)

Fair value hierarchy

ANZBGL New Zealand categorises financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value into a fair value hierarchy as required by NZ IFRS 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.

The following table presents assets and liabilities carried at fair value in accordance with the fair value hierarchy:

Quoted price in active markets (Level 1) Using observable inputs (Level 2) Using unobservable inputs (Level 3) Total

Total 306 238 16,610 17,675 - - 16,916 17,913

¹ During the six months ended 31 March 2026, NZ$604 million of assets were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 (September 2025: NZ$434 million) and no assets were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 for ANZBGL New Zealand (September 2025: NZ$127 million) due to a change in the observability of market price and/or valuation inputs. There were no other material transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period. Transfers into and out of levels are measured at the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

Financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value

The financial assets and financial liabilities listed below are measured at amortised cost on ANZBGL New Zealand's balance sheet. While this is the value at which we expect the assets will be realised and the liabilities settled, ANZBGL New Zealand 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 asset and financial liabilities carried at amortised cost not included in the table below approximate their carrying values. These financial assets and financial liabilities are either short term in nature or are floating rate instruments that are re-priced to market interest rates on or near the end of the reporting period.

10. Commitments and contingent liabilities

Credit related commitments and contingencies

| Undrawn facilities | 28,864 | 26,964 |

| Performance related contingencies | 1,800 | 1,802 |
| Total | 32,098 | 30,193 |

ANZBGL 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

There are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims for and against ANZBGL New Zealand. 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 seriously the interests of ANZBGL New Zealand.

Regulatory, customer and third party exposures

ANZBGL New Zealand regularly engages with its regulators. 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 New Zealand and globally. ANZBGL New Zealand also receives notices and requests for information from its regulators from time to time as part of both industry-wide and ANZBGL New Zealand-specific reviews and makes disclosures to its regulators at its own instigation.

ANZBGL New Zealand's regulatory interactions can relate to a broad range of matters including, for example, responsible lending practices, regulated lending requirements, product suitability and distribution, interest and fees and the entitlement to charge them, customer remediation, wealth advice, insurance distribution, pricing, competition, conduct in financial markets and financial transactions, capital market transactions, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations, privacy obligations and information security, business continuity management, reporting and disclosure obligations and product disclosure documentation.

The possible exposures associated with the Bank'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, investors or third parties 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.

Loan information litigation

The Bank is defending an opt-out representative proceeding where the plaintiffs are alleging breaches of disclosure requirements under consumer credit legislation in respect of variation letters sent to certain loan customers. The High Court ruled the relevant class was customers who entered into a home loan or personal loan with the Bank between 6 June 2015 and 28 May 2016 and requested a variation to that loan during that period. The class and the allegations made in the proceedings would potentially cover approximately 17,000 loan customers.

In July 2024, the Court of Appeal, among other things, confirmed the class and granted the plaintiff's application for a common fund order with immediate effect. Lawyers for the plaintiffs have notified potential class members about the class action and a summary judgment hearing was heard in the High Court on 23-24 March 2026. A judgment was released on 4 May 2026 (refer to Note 11).

Warranties and indemnities

ANZBGL New Zealand has provided warranties, indemnities and other commitments in various contracts for the disposal of businesses and assets and other commercial transactions, covering a range of matters and risks. It is exposed to potential claims under those warranties, indemnities and commitments, some of which are currently active. The outcomes and total costs associated with these exposures remain uncertain.

11. Subsequent events

On 4 May 2026, in the loan information litigation referred to in Note 10, the High Court granted summary judgment against the Bank in favour of the representative plaintiffs, finding that they were not liable for costs of borrowing relating to the breach period and directing the Bank to refund them NZ$32,728.42. The Bank is considering how this judgment may apply to other members of the class. The Bank's estimate of its maximum potential liability for costs of borrowing arising from this decision is approximately NZ$125 million. The Bank is considering the judgment and next steps including appeal.

Independent Auditor's Review Report

To the Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited

Report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Conclusion

We have completed a review of the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements (interim financial statements) which comprise:

  • the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2026;
  • the consolidated income statement, statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six month period then ended; and

This review report is made solely to the Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited those matters we are required to state to them in this review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited for our review work, this review report, or any of the conclusions we have formed.

Responsibilities of the Directors

The Directors, on behalf of ANZBGL New Zealand, are responsible for:

  • the preparation and fair presentation of ANZBGL New Zealand interim financial statements in accordance with Clause 26 of the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (Overseas Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014, NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34; and
  • implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review.

NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements, taken as a whole:

  • do not present fairly, in all material respects, ANZBGL New Zealand's financial position as at 31 March 2026 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months ended on that date; and
  • do not, in all material respects, comply with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34.

A review of the interim financial statements prepared in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) 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 on the interim financial statements.

The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor's review report is Brent Manning.

Other material matters

RBNZ revisions to capital requirements

In 2025, RBNZ conducted a review of their key capital requirements for New Zealand banks that were being progressively implemented to July 2028 and decided to revise the capital ratio requirements, lower and increase the granularity of standardised risk weights for certain types of lending, and remove AT1 capital from the capital framework. For the New Zealand systemically important banks, including the Banking Group, the revised requirements will include a minimum CET1 ratio requirement of 12% and total capital ratio requirement of 15%. These ratios are currently required to be 10% and 14.5% respectively and had been expected to be 13.5% and 18% from July 2028. A new loss absorbing capacity requirement of 6% will also be implemented. RBNZ indicated the CET1 capital ratio requirement will increase by 0.5% in October 2026, concurrent with the standardised risk weight changes being implemented. The remaining capital ratio changes are not expected ahead of December 2028.

No new AT1 issuance is expected to be permitted from October 2026 and existing AT1 PPS are expected to progressively cease to qualify as tier 1 capital from December 2029. The Bank has determined that a regulatory event has occurred in respect of the PPS. The occurrence of a regulatory event means that the Bank may choose to redeem the PPS at its discretion, subject to certain conditions including prior written approval of RBNZ. As at 5 May 2026, no decision has been made on whether the Bank will redeem the PPS.

RBNZ is expected to continue consulting on aspects of the revised requirements, including certain transitional arrangements during the period to December 2028.

The impact of the review on the Banking Group will depend on final implementation details, business mix and balance sheet settings at the relevant time. As such, the impact of the review on the Banking Group is currently uncertain.

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 request is made at the Registered Office.

Additional information on the balance sheet

As at 31 March 2026

NZ$m

Total interest earning and discount bearing assets 201,369
Total interest and discount bearing liabilities 166,940
Total amounts due from related entities 10,330
Total amounts due to related entities 11,932
Total liabilities of the NZ Branch less amounts due to related entities 4

Assets pledged and financial assets transferred

Amounts presented as collateral paid and received in the Balance Sheet relate to derivative liabilities and derivative assets respectively. The terms and conditions of those collateral agreements are included in the standard Credit Support Annex that forms part of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement under which most of ANZBGL New Zealand derivatives are executed. The following disclosures exclude these balances.

In the normal course of business, ANZBGL New Zealand enters into transactions where it pledges or transfers financial assets directly to third parties. These transfers may result in ANZBGL New Zealand fully, or partially, derecognising those financial assets - depending on ANZBGL New Zealand's exposure to the risks and rewards or control over the transferred assets. If ANZBGL New Zealand retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of a transferred asset, the transfer does not qualify for derecognition and the asset remains on ANZBGL New Zealand's balance sheet in its entirety, with a corresponding liability recognised for proceeds from the transfer.

Covered bonds

ANZBGL New Zealand operates a covered bond programme to raise funding. Refer to Note 7 Debt issuances for further details. The covered bonds issued externally are included within debt issuances.

Repurchase agreements

When ANZBGL New Zealand sells securities subject to repurchase agreements under which we retain substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, then those assets do not qualify for derecognition. An associated liability is recognised for the consideration received from the counterparty.

The table below sets out the balance of assets transferred that do not qualify for derecognition, along with the associated liabilities:

As at 31 March 2026

Covered bonds NZ$m Repurchase agreements NZ$m
Current carrying amount of assets transferred 8,562 3,344
Carrying amount of associated liabilities 2,485 3,361

Additional information on the income statement

The amounts of net trading gains or losses and other fair value adjustments are included in Note 2 Other operating income. ANZBGL New Zealand does not have any material credit risk adjustments on financial assets designated at FVTPL. Other operating income for the purposes of the Order comprises net fee and commission income, and all other items of other income (all in Note 2 Other operating income).

Liquidity portfolio management

ANZBGL New Zealand holds a diversified portfolio of cash and high quality securities primarily to support liquidity risk management. The size of ANZBGL New Zealand's liquidity portfolio is determined with consideration of the amount required to meet the requirements of its internal and regulatory liquidity scenario metrics.

As at 31 March 2026 NZ$m
Central and local government bonds 18,054
Government treasury bills 370
Certificates of deposit 577
Other bonds 6,834
Securities held to support liquidity risk management 25,835
Cash and balances with central banks 7,501
Assets held to support liquidity risk management 33,336

Assets held in ANZBGL New Zealand's liquidity portfolio are all denominated in New Zealand dollars and include balances held with RBNZ and securities issued by the New Zealand Government, supranational agencies, highly rated banks, state owned enterprises, local authorities (including through a funding authority) and highly rated corporates.

The Bank also held unencumbered internal residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS) which would be accepted as collateral by RBNZ in repurchase transactions. These holdings would entitle the Bank to enter into repurchase transactions with RBNZ with a value of NZ$11,922 million at 31 March 2026 (September 2025: NZ$11,441 million).

RBNZ Term Lending Facility (TLF) and Funding for Lending Programme (FLP)

  • Between May 2020 and July 2021, RBNZ made funds available under the TLF to promote lending to businesses. The TLF is a five-year secured funding facility for New Zealand banks at a fixed rate of 0.25%.
  • Between December 2020 and December 2022, RBNZ made funds available under the FLP to lower the cost of borrowing for New Zealand businesses and households. The FLP was a three-year secured funding facility for New Zealand banks at a floating rate of the New Zealand Official Cash Rate (OCR).

As at 31 March 2026, the Bank had NZ$130 million drawn under the TLF (September 2025: NZ$165 million) and had fully repaid the amounts previously drawn under the FLP (September 2025: NZ$1,000 million drawn). These amounts are included in securities sold under repurchase agreements in Note 6 Deposits and other borrowings.

Explanation of how changes in the gross carrying amounts of gross loans and advances contributed to changes in loss allowance

Overall, loss allowances are 0.42% of gross balances as at 31 March 2026, down from 0.43% as at 30 September 2025. The NZ$3 million (0.4%) increase in loss allowances was primarily driven by changes in the forward-looking economic scenarios as described in Note 5 Allowance for expected credit losses, partially offset by a decrease in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2 and Stage 3; and a release of management temporary adjustments.

  • the Standardised Measurement Approach (SMA) for the operational risk weighted asset equivalent.

The Overseas Banking Group exceeded the minimum capital requirements set by APRA as at 31 March 2026 and for the comparative prior periods.

The Overseas Banking Group is required to publicly disclose Pillar 3 financial information as at 31 March 2026. The Overseas Banking Group's Pillar 3 disclosure document for the quarter ended 31 March 2026, in accordance with APS 330: Public Disclosure of Prudential Information, discloses capital adequacy ratios and other prudential information.

Independent Auditor's Review Report

To the Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited

Report on the Registered Bank Disclosures in sections B2, B3 and B5 of the Disclosure Statement

Conclusion

We have completed a review of the accompanying registered bank disclosures of the New Zealand business of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZBGL) and its subsidiaries (together, ANZBGL New Zealand) in sections B2, B3 and B5 on pages 24 to 31 of the Disclosure Statement as at and for the six months ended 31 March 2026, which comprise the information that is required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 12 and 14 of Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (Overseas Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended) (the Order).

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying registered bank disclosures in sections B2, B3 and B5 of the Disclosure Statement:

  • does not present fairly, in all material respects, the matters to which they relate; or
  • are not disclosed, in all material respects, in accordance with those Schedules; or
  • have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with any condition of registration relating to disclosure requirements, imposed under section 74(4)(c) of the Banking (Prudential Supervision) Act 1989.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review of the registered bank disclosures in sections B2, B3 and B5 in accordance with New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities section of our report.

We are independent of ANZBGL New Zealand in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the audit of the annual disclosure statement and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements.

Our firm has provided services to ANZBGL New Zealand in relation to review of regulatory returns, internal controls reports, prospectus assurance or reviews, agreed-upon procedures engagements and other assurance engagements. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with ANZBGL New Zealand on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of ANZBGL New Zealand. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of ANZBGL New Zealand. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, ANZBGL New Zealand.

Use of this review report

This review report is made solely to the Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited those matters we are required to state to them in this review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited for our review work, this review report, or any of the conclusions we have formed.

Responsibilities of the Directors

The Directors, on behalf of ANZBGL New Zealand, are responsible for:

  • the preparation and fair presentation of ANZBGL New Zealand registered bank disclosures in sections B1, B2, B3 and B5 of the Disclosure Statement in accordance with Schedules 3, 5, 7, 12 and 14 of the Order; and
  • implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of the registered bank disclosures in sections B1, B2, B3 and B5 of the Disclosure Statement that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the registered bank disclosures in sections B2, B3 and B5 of the Disclosure Statement, based on our review.

NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the registered bank disclosures in sections B2, B3 and B5 of the Disclosure Statement does not fairly state, in all material respects, the matters to which they relate, in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 12 and 14 of the Order.

A review of the registered bank disclosures in sections B2, B3 and B5 of the Disclosure Statement prepared in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) 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 on the registered bank disclosures in sections B2, B3 and B5 of the Disclosure Statement.

Independent Limited Assurance Report

To the Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited

Report on the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy

Conclusion

Our limited assurance conclusion has been formed on the basis of the matters outlined in this report.

Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not a reasonable assurance engagement or audit, nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy of the New Zealand business of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZBGL) and its subsidiaries (together, ANZBGL New Zealand), disclosed in section B4 on page 31 of the Disclosure Statement, is not, in all material respects, disclosed in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (Overseas Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended) (the Order).

Information subject to assurance

We have reviewed the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy, as disclosed in section B4 of the Disclosure Statement for the six months ended 31 March 2026.

Our conclusion on credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy does not extend to any other information included, or referred to, in the Disclosure Statement.

Criteria

The information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy comprises the information that is required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Order.

Standards we followed

We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with Standard on Assurance Engagements 3100 (Revised) Compliance Engagements (SAE 3100 (Revised)) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Accounting Standards Board. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited conclusion.

Our responsibilities under SAE 3100 (Revised) are further described in the Our responsibility section of our report.

How to interpret limited assurance and material misstatement and non-compliance

A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.

Misstatements, including omissions, within the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy and non-compliance are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the relevant decisions of the intended users taken on the basis of the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy.

Inherent limitations

Because of the inherent limitations of an assurance engagement, together with the internal control structure it is possible that fraud, error or non-compliance with compliance requirements may occur and not be detected.

A limited assurance engagement for the six months ended 31 March 2026 does not provide assurance on whether compliance with Schedule 9 of the Order will continue in the future.

Use of this assurance report

Our report is made solely for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited's Directors. Our assurance work has been undertaken so that we might state to Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited's Directors those matters we are required to state to them in the assurance report and for no other purpose.

Our report should not be regarded as suitable to be used or relied on by anyone other than Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited's Directors for any purpose or in any context. Any other person who obtains access to our report or a copy thereof and chooses to rely on our report (or any part thereof) will do so at its own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, none of KPMG, any entities directly or indirectly controlled by KPMG, or any of their respective members or employees accept or assume any responsibility and deny all liability to anyone other than Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited and Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited's Directors for our work, for this independent assurance report, and/or for the opinions or conclusions we have reached.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of the Directors

The Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited are responsible for the compliance activities undertaken to meet their identified compliance requirements and disclosure of the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Order. This responsibility includes such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the identification of risks that threaten the compliance requirements being met, designing and implementing controls which will mitigate those risks, monitor ongoing compliance and to enable the disclosure of the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy that is free from material misstatement and non-compliance whether due to fraud or error.

Limited assurance report


Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited - ANZBGL New Zealand

Our responsibility

We have responsibility for:

  • planning and performing the engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the supplementary information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy is free from material misstatement and non-compliance, whether due to fraud or error;
  • forming an independent conclusion based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained; and
  • reporting our conclusion to the Directors of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.

Our work was carried out by a multidisciplinary team, including specialists in financial risk management, who assisted with the procedures below. We remain solely responsible for the assurance conclusion.

Summary of the work we performed as the basis of our conclusion

In a limited assurance engagement, the assurance practitioner performs procedures, primarily consisting of discussion and enquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and observation and walk-throughs, and evaluates the evidence obtained. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including identifying areas where the risk of material misstatement and non-compliance with Schedule 9 of the Order is likely to arise.

In undertaking limited assurance, the procedures we primarily performed were:

  • used our professional judgement to plan and perform the engagement to obtain limited assurance that the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy, is free from material misstatement and non-compliance, whether due to fraud or error;
  • considered relevant internal controls when designing our assurance procedures, however we do not express a conclusion on the effectiveness of these controls;
  • ensured that the engagement team possesses the appropriate knowledge, skills and professional competencies;
  • obtained an understanding of the process, models, data and internal controls implemented over the preparation of the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy;
  • performed inquiry and analytical review procedures over credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy;
  • obtained an understanding of ANZBGL's compliance framework and internal control environment over the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy, including ANZBGL's assessment of any matters of non-compliance with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's Prudential Requirements; and
  • agreed the information relating to credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy, extracted from ANZBGL's models, accounting records or other supporting documentation to the Disclosure Statement.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from and are less in extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.

Our independence and quality management

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

The firm applies Professional and Ethical Standard 3 Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements (PES 3), which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality control including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Our firm has provided services to ANZBGL New Zealand in relation to reviews of regulatory returns, internal controls reports, prospectus assurance or reviews, agreed-upon procedures engagements and other assurance engagements. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with ANZBGL New Zealand on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of ANZBGL New Zealand. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of ANZBGL New Zealand. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, ANZBGL New Zealand.
