Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
1. About our interim financial statements
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the Banking Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Order and should be read in conjunction with the Banking Group'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.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the interim financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries.
We present the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Banking Group in New Zealand dollars and have rounded values to the nearest million dollars (NZ$m), unless otherwise stated.
The accounting policies adopted by the Banking Group 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 the Banking Group'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.
The Banking Group 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.

Description of segments
The Banking Group is organised into three major business segments for segment reporting purposes - Personal, Business & Agri and Institutional.

These cover privately owned small and medium enterprises, and the agricultural business segment.

- Transaction Banking provides customers with working capital and liquidity solutions including documentary trade, supply chain financing, commodity financing as well as cash management solutions, deposits, payments and clearing.

5. Allowance for expected credit losses (continued)
Key judgements and estimates
Collectively assessed allowance for expected credit losses
In estimating collectively assessed ECL, the Banking 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 Banking 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 the Banking Group'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 the Banking Group'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 the Banking Group'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 the Banking Group'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 the Banking Group should be considered as a best estimate within a range of possible estimates.
The table below illustrates the sensitivity of the Banking Group'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 |
- There is an inverse and proportionate impact on profit or loss.
Individually assessed allowance for expected credit losses
In estimating individually assessed ECL, the Banking 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. 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.

| Deposits and other borrowings | 157,268 | 153,282 |
7. Debt issuances
The Banking Group 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.
| 31 Mar 26 NZ$m | 30 Sep 25 NZ$m | |
|---|---|---|
| Senior debt | 14,700 | 12,020 |
| Covered bonds | 2,485 | 2,510 |
| Total unsubordinated debt | 17,185 | 14,530 |
| Subordinated debt | ||
| - Additional tier 1 (AT1) capital | 938 | 938 |
| - Tier 2 capital | 2,349 | 2,331 |
| Total subordinated debt | 3,287 | 3,269 |
| Total debt issued | 20,472 | 17,799 |
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 the Banking Group 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 the Banking Group's internal customer credit rating (CCR) to manage the credit quality of financial assets. To enable wider comparisons, the Banking Group's CCRs are mapped to external rating agency scales as follows:
| Credit quality description | Internal CCR | The Banking Group 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
The Banking 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 together with their carrying amounts as recognised on the Balance Sheet.

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 the Banking Group 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. The Banking 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.
Fair value designation
The Banking Group 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
The Banking Group 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:

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 the Banking Group (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 the Banking Group's balance sheet. While this is the value at which we expect the assets will be realised and the liabilities settled, the Banking 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 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.

| Performance related contingencies | 1,800 | 1,859 |
| Total | 32,098 | 30,250 |
The Banking Group guarantees the performance of customers by issuing standby letters of credit and guarantees to third parties, including its Ultimate Parent Bank. The risk involved is essentially the same as the credit risk involved in extending loan facilities to customers, therefore these transactions are subjected to the same credit origination, portfolio management and collateral requirements for customers applying for loans. As the facilities may expire without being drawn upon, the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.
Other contingent liabilities
There are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims for and against the Banking 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 seriously the interests of the Banking Group.
Regulatory, customer and third party exposures
The Banking Group 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. The Banking Group also receives notices and requests for information from its regulators from time to time as part of both industry-wide and Banking Group-specific reviews and makes disclosures to its regulators at its own instigation.
The Banking Group'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
The Banking Group 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 17 April 2026, the Bank gave notice to NZ Branch as the holder of NZ$938 million of ANZ New Zealand Internal Capital Notes (ANZ NZ ICN) that qualify as AT1 capital for the Bank, that it will redeem the ANZ NZ ICN on their optional redemption date in June 2026.
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.
Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited
Independent Auditor's Review Report
To the shareholder of ANZ Bank New Zealand 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
- notes, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
Based on our review of the interim financial statements of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (the Bank) and its subsidiaries (together, the Banking Group) on pages 4 to 20, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review of the interim financial statements 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 the Banking Group 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 other services to the Banking Group 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 the Banking Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Banking Group. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Banking Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the Banking Group.
Use of this review report
This review report is made solely to the shareholder of the Bank. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the shareholder of the Bank 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 shareholder of the Bank for our review work, this review report, or any of the conclusions we have formed.
Responsibilities of the Directors
The Directors, on behalf of the Banking Group, are responsible for:
- the preparation and fair presentation of the Banking Group interim financial statements in accordance with Clause 25 of the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (New Zealand 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, the Banking Group'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.

Guarantees
No material obligations of the Bank are guaranteed as at 5 May 2026.
Changes in the Bank's Board of Directors
Craig Sims was appointed as an independent non-executive director on 1 April 2026. As at 5 May 2026, there have been no other changes to the Directors of the Bank since 30 September 2025, the balance date of the last full year disclosure statement.
Auditors
KPMG, 18 Viaduct Harbour Avenue, Auckland, New Zealand.
Conditions of registration
Changes to the Bank's conditions of registration since the last disclosure statement (for the year ended 30 September 2025)
The Bank's conditions of registration have been amended to ease restrictions on high loan-to-valuation residential mortgage lending to owner occupiers and investors (effective 1 December 2025).
Non-compliance with conditions of registration 11: compliance with RBNZ's Outsourcing policy (BS11)
RBNZ has confirmed two material breaches of BS11 conditions of registration during the period. The first breach relates to specific robust back up arrangements that were not able to effectively operate in the event of a separation and in compliance with BS11, and the second reflects overall deficiencies in oversight, process and control gaps in the ongoing management of BS11. While these issues had no financial impact, they are relevant to the Bank's outsourcing and resolvability requirements as prescribed in its conditions of registration and have therefore been assessed as material. The Bank has rectified the specific breach relating to the robust back-up arrangements and is undertaking broader work to strengthen processes and controls in the ongoing management of BS11, as part of a remediation programme that will need to be completed to RBNZ's satisfaction. The Bank will keep RBNZ informed about the progress of these efforts to ensure that the necessary uplift is delivered and deficiencies are remediated.
Other matters relevant to the conditions of registration
There may be situations where a conditions of registration breach has been identified but an assessment of materiality has not been completed prior to approval of this Disclosure Statement. Where that is the case, the Bank will complete materiality assessments as soon as practicable and will liaise with RBNZ in accordance with the Bank's usual breach reporting processes.
Pending proceedings or arbitration
A description of any pending legal proceedings or arbitration concerning any member of the Banking Group that may have a material adverse effect on the Bank or the Banking Group is included in Note 10 Commitments and contingent liabilities.
Credit rating
The Bank has credit ratings that apply to its long-term senior unsecured obligations payable in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.
As at 5 May 2026, the Bank's credit ratings are:
| Rating agency | Credit rating | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| S&P Global Ratings | AA- | Outlook Stable |
| Fitch Ratings | A+ | Outlook Stable |
| Moody's Investors Service | A1 | Outlook Stable |
Ultimate Parent Bank enforceable undertaking with APRA and its relevance to the Bank
The Ultimate Parent Bank is the subject of an enforceable undertaking with APRA where it has committed to a comprehensive programme of activity to uplift its management of non-financial risk and improve its control environment. The Bank will also deliver this uplift, where relevant. The Bank has identified areas of non-financial risk where certain control weaknesses exist, and is progressing plans to enhance those control environments, including in a way to ensure alignment with regulator expectations. Refer to the disclosure statement for the year ended 30 September 2025 for a non-exhaustive description of non-financial risk and those non-financial risks which pose a higher inherent risk to the Banking Group.
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 perpetual preference shares are expected to progressively cease to qualify as tier 1 capital from December 2029.
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.

|---|---|
| Total interest and discount bearing liabilities | 164,017 |
| Total amounts due from related entities | 10,319 |
| Total amounts due to related entities | 10,211 |
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 the Banking Group derivatives are executed. The following disclosures exclude these balances.
In the normal course of business, the Banking Group enters into transactions where it pledges or transfers financial assets directly to third parties. These transfers may result in the Banking Group fully, or partially, derecognising those financial assets - depending on the Banking Group's exposure to the risks and rewards or control over the transferred assets. If the Banking Group retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of a transferred asset, the transfer does not qualify for derecognition and the asset remains on the Banking Group's balance sheet in its entirety, with a corresponding liability recognised for proceeds from the transfer.
Covered bonds
The Banking Group 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 the Banking Group 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 | Repurchase agreements |
|---|---|---|
| NZ$m | NZ$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. The Banking Group 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
The Banking Group holds a diversified portfolio of cash and high quality securities primarily to support liquidity risk management. The size of the Banking Group'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 |

| 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 the Banking Group'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.

Explanation of how changes in the gross carrying amounts of residential mortgages contributed to changes in loss allowance
The NZ$4 million (2.2%) decrease in loss allowances on residential mortgage exposures is primarily driven by a release of management temporary adjustments, partially offset by changes in the forward-looking economic scenarios as described in Note 5 Allowance for expected credit losses and an increase in the proportion of gross balances in Stage 2 and Stage 3. Overall loss allowances and individually impaired exposures remain low, reflecting that approximately 90% of on-balance sheet residential mortgage exposures have loan to valuation ratios not exceeding 80% (refer to page 38).

Capital structure
Ordinary shares – CET1 capital
Ordinary shares have no par value. Each fully paid ordinary share gives the holder the right to one vote on a poll at a general meeting of the Bank. Ordinary shares are recognised at the amount paid per ordinary share net of directly attributable costs. They entitle holders to receive dividends, and surplus assets available in a liquidation of the Bank, in proportion to the number of fully paid ordinary shares held.
Perpetual preference shares – AT1 capital
Perpetual preference shares (PPS) do not carry any voting rights. They are classified as equity instruments as there is no contractual obligation for the Bank to either deliver cash or another financial instrument or to exchange financial instruments on a potentially unfavourable basis.
In the event of liquidation, holders of PPS are entitled to an amount equal to the issue price of the PPS. Holders of PPS rank behind the claims of all depositors and other creditors of the Bank (other than creditors that rank equally with the PPS), equally with the rights of other holders of the PPS, AT1 capital notes and other equal ranking securities and obligations, and in priority to the rights of holders of ordinary shares.
Holders of PPS are entitled to receive dividends that are discretionary, non-cumulative and subject to conditions. If a PPS dividend is not paid, there are certain restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay a dividend on its ordinary shares. Holders of the PPS have no other rights to participate in the profits or property of the Bank.
Holders of PPS have no right to require that the PPS be redeemed.
The Bank has three classes of PPS: PPS issued in 2022 and 2024 that are quoted on the NZX Debt Market (Quoted PPS), and PPS issued to the Immediate Parent Company in 2024 (2024 PPS).
PPS qualify for AT1 capital for RBNZ's capital adequacy purposes.
The key terms of the PPS are as follows:
| 2022 Quoted PPS | 2024 Quoted PPS | 2024 PPS | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Issue date | 18 July 2022 | 19 March 2024 | 18 September 2024 |
| Issue amount | NZ$550 million | NZ$275 million | NZ$867 million |
| First optional redemption date | 18 July 2028 | 19 March 2030 | 18 October 2030 |
| Final maturity date | Perpetual | Perpetual | Perpetual |
| Dividend amount | 6.95% per annum until 18 July 2028 (after which it changes to a floating rate equal to the New Zealand 3-month bank bill rate plus 3.25%), multiplied by one minus the New Zealand company tax rate (where the PPS dividend is fully imputed). | 7.60% per annum until 19 March 2030 (after which it changes to a floating rate equal to the New Zealand 3-month bank bill rate plus 3.25%), multiplied by one minus the New Zealand company tax rate (where the PPS dividend is fully imputed). | Floating rate equal to the New Zealand 3-month bank bill rate plus 3.03%. |
As at 31 March 2026, the Quoted PPS carried a BBB+ credit rating from S&P Global Ratings.
The Bank may, at its option, redeem a class of PPS on an optional redemption date (being each scheduled quarterly dividend payment date from the first optional redemption date), or at any time following the occurrence of a tax event or regulatory event, subject to prior written approval of RBNZ and certain other conditions being met.
In December 2025, RBNZ released its 2025 review of key capital requirements, 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.

ANZ NZ ICN – AT1 capital
ANZ NZ ICN are convertible non-cumulative perpetual subordinated debt securities. Holders of ANZ NZ ICN do not have any right to vote in general meetings of the Bank. ANZ NZ ICN are classified as debt given there are circumstances beyond the Bank's control where the principal is converted into a variable number of ordinary shares of the Bank. Interest payments on ANZ NZ ICN are discretionary, non-cumulative and subject to conditions.
In the event of liquidation, holders of ANZ NZ ICN are entitled to claim an amount equal to the issue price of the ANZ NZ ICN. Holders of ANZ NZ ICN rank behind the claims of all depositors and other creditors of the Bank (other than creditors that rank equally with the ANZ NZ ICN), equally with the rights of holders of PPS, and other equal ranking securities and obligations, and in priority to the rights of holders of ordinary shares.
The Bank issued NZ$938 million of ANZ NZ ICN to NZ Branch in 2016. The key terms of the ANZ NZ ICN notes are as follows:
The interest amount is based on a floating rate equal to the aggregate of the New Zealand 6-month bank bill rate plus 6.29% per annum.
ANZ NZ ICN provide the Bank with a redemption option on specified dates and a redemption or conversion to equity option in certain other circumstances. Redemption is subject to RBNZ's prior written approval. The ANZ NZ ICN will immediately convert into ordinary shares of the Bank if:
- the Banking Group's common equity tier 1 capital ratio is equal to or less than 5.125% - known as a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event; or
- RBNZ directs the Bank to convert or write-off the ANZ NZ ICN, or a statutory manager is appointed to the Bank and decides that the Bank must convert or write-off the ANZ NZ ICN.
On 17 April 2026, the Bank gave notice to NZ Branch as the holder of the ANZ NZ ICN that it will redeem the ANZ NZ ICN on their optional redemption date in June 2026.
Tier 2 capital
Tier 2 capital notes are fully paid unsecured subordinated notes. Interest payments are subject to the Bank being solvent at the time of, and immediately following, the payment. Unpaid interest accumulates, and will be paid at the earlier of when the Bank is solvent again or at maturity. The Bank may repay the notes early (the next optional call dates are specified below), or in certain other circumstances (such as a tax or regulatory event). Early repayment is subject to certain conditions, including prior written approval from RBNZ.

Credit valuation adjustment
The IRB, slotting and standardised tables above include a Credit valuation adjustment (CVA) capital charge of NZ$101 million, and implied risk weighted exposures for the CVA of NZ$1,265 million.
Credit risk mitigation
As at 31 March 2026, under the IRB approach, the Banking Group had NZ$260 million of corporate exposures covered by guarantees where the presence of the guarantees was judged to reduce the underlying credit risk of the exposures. Information on the value of other exposures covered by financial guarantees and eligible financial collateral is not disclosed, as the effect of these guarantees and collateral on the underlying credit risk exposures is not considered to be material.

In accordance with BPR 130 Credit Risk RWAs Overview, IRB and slotting RWA with standardised floor applied is calculated as the greater of RWA for compliance purposes, and 85% of the total RWA for such exposures calculated using the standardised approach.
Market risk
The aggregate capital charge below has been calculated in accordance with BPR140: Market Risk. Implied risk weighted exposures are equal to 12.5 × aggregate capital charge in accordance with BPR100: Capital Adequacy and as prescribed by the Order. The peak end-of-day market risk exposures are for the six months ended 31 March 2026.
The total capital requirement for market risk exposure calculated at 9% of implied risk weighted exposure is disclosed on page 35.
| As at 31 March 2026 | Implied risk weighted exposure | Aggregate capital charge | ||

| Foreign currency risk | 74 | 86 | 6 | 7 |
| Equity risk | 6 | 6 | - | - |
Operational risk
As required by the Bank's conditions of registration, the Banking Group uses the standardised approach to calculate the total operational risk capital requirement in accordance with BPR150: Standardised Operational Risk.
As at 31 March 2026, the Banking Group had an implied risk weighted exposure of NZ$12,964 million and a total operational risk capital requirement of NZ$1,037 million. The implied risk weighted exposure is equal to 12.5 × total operational risk capital requirement in accordance with BPR100: Capital Adequacy and as prescribed by the Order.
The total capital requirement for operational risk calculated at 9% of implied risk weighted exposure is disclosed on page 35.
Capital for other material risks
The Banking Group has an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) which complies with the requirements of the Bank's Conditions of Registration. The Banking Group's ICAAP identifies and measures all 'other material risks', which are those material risks that are not explicitly captured in the calculation of the Banking Group's tier 1 and total capital ratios. The Banking Group has identified credit concentration risk as an other material risk. As at 31 March 2026, the Banking Group's internal capital allocation for other material risks is NZ$148 million (March 2025: NZ$140 million).

| Total capital | 21.2% | 20.4% | 23.1% | 22.1% |
The Ultimate Parent Bank and the Overseas Banking Group are required to hold minimum capital as determined by APRA's capital framework, which is at least equal to that specified under the internationally agreed Basel III framework.
APRA has authorised the Ultimate Parent Bank and the Overseas Banking Group to use:
- the Internal Ratings Based (IRB) methodology for calculation of credit risk weighted assets. Where the Overseas Banking Group is not accredited to use the IRB methodology the Overseas Banking Group applies the standardised approach.
- 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. This document can be accessed at the website anz.com.
Regulatory liquidity ratios
RBNZ requires banks to hold minimum amounts of liquid assets to help ensure that they are effectively managing their liquidity risk. The mismatch ratio is a measure of a bank's liquid assets, adjusted for expected cash inflows and outflows during a 1-month or 1-week period of stress. It is expressed as a ratio over the bank's total funding. The Banking Group must maintain its 1-month and 1-week mismatch ratios above zero on a daily basis.
RBNZ requires banks to get a minimum amount of funding from stable sources called core funding. The minimum amount of core funding is 75% of a bank's total loans. The Banking Group must maintain its core funding ratio above the regulatory minimum on a daily basis.
| For the three months ended | 31 Mar 26 | 31 Dec 25 |
|---|---|---|
| Quarterly average 1-week mismatch ratio | 7.4% | 7.2% |
| Quarterly average 1-month mismatch ratio | 6.5% | 6.4% |

Standardised equivalents of IRB risk weighted assets
Background
This section contains the additional information required by the Order about RWAs and the resulting capital ratios recalculated as if the Bank were subject to the standardised approach for capital adequacy.
Capital adequacy information calculated in accordance with the Bank's conditions of registration is presented in the section above.
Historical comparison with standardised capital ratios and risk weights
| As at | 31 Mar 26 | 30 Sep 25 | 30 Sep 24 |
|---|---|---|---|
| % | % | % | |
| Total capital ratio | 17.1 | 17.4 | 17.2 |
| Total capital ratio recalculated as if the Bank were not an IRB bank | 15.2 | 15.5 | 15.4 |
| Actual average risk weight for all modelled credit risk exposures | 42.5 | 42.9 | 42.2 |
| Standardised equivalent average risk weight for all modelled credit risk exposures | 57.8 | 57.7 | 57.5 |
In the table above:
- Total capital ratio is the Banking Group's actual capital ratio, calculated in accordance with the Bank's conditions of registration.
- Total capital ratio recalculated as if the Bank were not an IRB bank is calculated in accordance with the standardised approach.
- Actual average risk weight for all modelled credit risk exposures is calculated as the ratio of total risk weighted assets for all exposures that are subject to the IRB modelling approach or the supervisory slotting approach, including any applicable scalar and credit risk supervisory adjustments, to total exposure at default for all such exposures.
- Standardised equivalent average risk weight for all modelled credit risk exposures is calculated as the ratio of total risk weighted assets for all exposures subject to the IRB modelling approach or the supervisory slotting approach recalculated as if the Bank was a standardised bank, to total on-balance sheet exposures and credit equivalent amounts for all such exposures, defined in accordance with the standardised risk-weighting approach in BPR131 Standardised Credit Risk RWAs.
Standardised equivalent capital ratios
| As at 31 March 2026 | CET 1 capital | Tier 1 capital | Total capital | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standardised equivalent capital amount | NZ$m | 14,779 | 17,409 | 19,760 |
| Standardised equivalent total RWAs | NZ$m | 130,172 | 130,172 | 130,172 |
| Ratio | 11.4% | 13.4% | 15.2% |
The standardised equivalent of the Banking Group capital and the Banking Group reported capital amounts are different due to 'Expected losses to the extent greater than total eligible allowances for impairment' which only applies under the IRB approach.
The standardised equivalent of the Banking Group total RWAs and the Banking Group reported total RWAs amounts are different due to (i) credit RWAs as the Banking Group is accredited to report under BPR133 IRB Credit Risk RWAs whereas credit RWAs are recalculated under BPR131 Standardised Credit Risk RWAs for dual reporting purposes and (ii) CVA for credit risk exposures subject to the standardised approach.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the registered bank disclosures in sections B2, B3, B5 and B6 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, B5 and B6 of the Disclosure Statement does not fairly state, in all material respects, the matters to which they relate, in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order.
A review of the registered bank disclosures in sections B2, B3, B5 and B6 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, B5 and B6 of the Disclosure Statement.

Independent Limited Assurance Report
To the shareholder of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited
Report on the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements
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 Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (the Bank) and its subsidiaries (together, the Banking Group), disclosed in section B4 on pages 34 to 42 of the Disclosure Statement, is not, in all material respects, disclosed in accordance with Schedule 11 of the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (New Zealand Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended) (the Order).
Information subject to assurance
We have reviewed the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements, as disclosed in section B4 of the Disclosure Statement for the six months ended 31 March 2026.
Our conclusion on Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements does not extend to any other information included, or referred to, in the Disclosure Statement.
Criteria
The information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements comprises the information that is required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedule 11 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 Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements 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 Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements.
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 11 of the Order will continue in the future.
Use of this assurance report
Our report is made solely for the Bank's shareholder. Our assurance work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Bank's shareholder those matters we are required to state to them in the assurance report and for no other purpose.

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 the Bank and the Bank's shareholder 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 ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited are responsible for the compliance activities undertaken to meet their identified compliance requirements and disclosure of the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements in accordance with Schedule 11 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 Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements that is free from material misstatement and non-compliance whether due to fraud or error.
Limited assurance report
ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited
Our responsibility
We have responsibility for:
- planning and performing the engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements 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 Bank's shareholder.
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 11 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 Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements, 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 Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements;
- performed inquiry and analytical review procedures over Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements;
- obtained an understanding of the Bank's compliance framework and internal control environment over the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements, including the Bank's assessment of any matters of non-compliance with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's Prudential Requirements; and
- agreed the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements, extracted from the Bank'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.

Our firm has provided services to the Banking Group 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 the Banking Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Banking Group. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Banking Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the Banking Group.
