Managing Director and CEO Brett Morgan said “MyState Limited continued to build momentum as we deliver on our growth strategy.

“We are delighted to present a FY23 Result that has delivered record customer growth, strong portfolio growth in home lending and deposits, and a record net profit after tax.”

“The operating environment has changed significantly as the Reserve Bank has continued its fight against inflation, increasing interest rates 400 bps since May 2022 to 4.10%. This is now impacting the broader economy which is expected to slow further in the year ahead. Nonetheless, MyState’s arrears rates are well below the industry average and one in three customers remain more than six months ahead in their repayments.”

“Pleasingly, our strategy of deepening relationships with independent mortgage brokers and providing quick turnaround times for loan decisions continues to pay dividends. We have seen robust growth in home lending, which was around three times the industry average. Our growth came while maintaining prudent risk settings and we enjoy a high customer advocacy, as measured by our net promoter score.”

Highest earnings: MyState delivered the highest Core earnings and NPAT in its history. FY23 Core earnings increased 30.3% to $57.7 million, while FY23 NPAT increased by 20.2% to $38.5 million.

Competitive market drives net interest margin: NIM decreased 4bps over the year to 1.63%, reflecting increased competition for deposits and mortgages.

Customer growth: MyState welcomed a record 25,690 new to bank customers over the year - a 33% increase from FY22 - with strong growth in Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland.

Home loan book growth : MyState’s home loan book grew 14.1% to a record high $7.8 billion in the year to 30 June 2023. This represents a growth rate of 2.9 times system.

Cost-to-income: An ongoing focus on cost efficiency has resulted in a 440 bps drop in the Group costto-income ratio to 64.0%. Driving this decline was the operating leverage now evident in the Bank’s costto-income ratio of 60.8%, which was down 641 bps from FY22.

Credit quality: The bank remains focussed on low risk; owner occupied lending with a loan to value ratio (LVR) of less than 80% which represents around 75% of loans. In line with the broader industry, there has been an increase in arrears, with 30+ day arrears at 0.81% and 90+ days to 0.34%, although these remain below the industry average.

Capital position : MyState continues to focus on maintaining a strong capital position and balance sheet. In August 2022, MyState executed an inaugural Tier 1 capital issue to provide additional capital flexibility. During the year MyState also issued a $400m Term RMBS and established a new committed warehouse facility. At 30 June 2023, MyState’s total capital ratio was 15.43%.

Outlook:

Based on current market conditions, MyState is focused on profitably and sustainably executing its growth strategy. MyState is targeting to achieve the following goals in FY24:

• MyState Bank lending: lending growth around 2x system

• MyState Bank deposit composition: customer deposits >70% of funding

• Earnings per share, MyState Bank underlying cost-to-income ratio and Return on equity: in line with FY23
