Suncorp Bank APS330 Update
Suncorp today provided its quarterly update as at 30 September 2017, as required under Australian Prudential Standard 330.
Total lending grew 2.4% over the quarter, primarily due to strong home lending supported by improved capability, simplified processes and improved retention.
Suncorp Banking and Wealth CEO David Carter said the result reflects the Group’s strategy to deliver greater value for customers, and Banking’s commitment to driving sustainable, profitable growth.
“Providing simple, innovative and relevant product offerings, complemented by fast and consistent service propositions is making it easier for new and existing customers to connect with banking solutions that meet their needs,” Mr Carter said.
“Simplifying our processes and improving customer retention has helped deliver home lending growth of $1.1 billion and growth across business lending, primarily within the commercial and small business portfolios.
“A focus on growing savings and transaction banking solutions through better engagement with our customers and integrated customer offers has also been successful, with strong levels of new account openings.
“This has been achieved while maintaining our commitment to responsible and sustainable lending practices. We remain well placed within macro-prudential measures with year-on-year investor lending growth of 7.6% and new interest-only lending of 29% achieved for the quarter.”
Credit quality performance remains strong with impairment losses of $5 million, or 4 basis points of gross loans and advances (annualised). Higher arrears reported in the second half of the 2017 financial year relating to changes in hardship operational practices and processes are stabilising, as the temporary impacts of the revisions have normalised.
The Bank has maintained its measured approach to managing funding and liquidity risk ensuring a strong and sustainable funding profile that supports balance sheet growth.
This includes the successful issuing of a $1.5 billion capital effective Residential Mortgage-Backed Security (RMBS) transaction, which further supports stability as reflected in the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) position, estimated to be 113% as at 30 September 2017.
Following the payment of the final 2017 financial year dividend to Suncorp Group, Banking’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 8.77% reflects a sound capital position within the operating range of 8.5% to 9.0%.

OVERVIEW
Banking continues to benefit from increased focus on customers and the Marketplace strategy, as evidenced by the robust performance this quarter. Focus on growing savings and transaction banking solutions through improved digital capability and integrated customer offers has been successful with strong levels of new account openings in the quarter.
Suncorp has maintained its commitment to responsible and sustainable lending practices amidst the ongoing economic, political and regulatory pressures that continue to characterise the industry. Banking remains well placed within macro-prudential measures with year-on-year investor lending growth of 7.6% and new interest-only lending of 29% achieved for the quarter.
Total lending grew $1.3 billion or 2.4% over the quarter. The home lending portfolio grew by $1.1 billion reflecting the benefits of accelerated investment in the Marketplace, through improved capabilities to meet customer needs, simplified processes and improved customer retention. Growth was also achieved in business lending portfolio, primarily within the commercial and small business portfolios. Lending to innercity apartment developments and customers affected by downstream impacts from the resources industry slowdown continues to be well controlled and closely monitored.
Credit quality performance was strong over the quarter. Impairment losses of $5 million, representing 4 basis points of gross loans and advances (annualised), remained below the expected operating range of 10 to 20 basis points. Gross impaired assets decreased by $10 million to $163 million, as business lending customers benefited from improved trading and seasonal conditions.
The higher arrears reported in the second half of the 2017 financial year relating to changes in Banking’s hardship operational practices and processes are now stabilising as the temporary impacts of the revisions have normalised.
Banking has maintained its measured approach to managing funding and liquidity risk ensuring a strong and sustainable funding profile that supports balance sheet growth. Over the quarter, Banking successfully issued a $1.5 billion capital effective RMBS transaction which further supports Suncorp’s funding stability as reflected in the NSFR which was estimated to be 113% as at 30 September 2017.
Following the payment of the final 2017 financial year dividend to Suncorp Group, Banking’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 8.77% reflects a sound capital position within the operating range of 8.5% to 9.0%.
OUTLOOK
Suncorp’s Marketplace will support Banking’s commitment to driving sustainable profitable growth and increasing resilience to volatility. Improving our core Banking business of providing simple, innovative and relevant product offerings, complemented by fast, simple and consistent service propositions will make it easier for new and existing customers to connect with Banking solutions according to their need.
A focus on deposit growth is enabling Banking to optimise its funding mix, and lending growth is expected to continue. Suncorp remains firm on robust risk management practices and is well positioned to respond to ongoing regulatory change. Performance against the expected operating ranges for impairment losses, growth, net interest margin and liquidity is expected to be maintained.
Throughout the 2018 financial year, Suncorp will assess the adequacy of Banking’s capital targets under both an advanced regulatory basis as well an AASB 9 basis. Suncorp expects to incorporate the implementation of ‘Unquestionably Strong’ requirements into existing models, following their release later in 2017.

APS 330
During FY17 the Committee did not engage external advisers to provide remuneration recommendations or act as ‘remuneration consultants’ to the Group as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 .
ii. Group Remuneration Policy and framework
The Group Remuneration Policy covers all directors and employees of the Group and provides, within the context of the Group’s long-term financial soundness and risk management framework, the:
-
reward objectives and principles underpinning remuneration; and
-
framework for the governance, structure and operation of remuneration within the Group.
The Group Remuneration Policy was last endorsed by the Committee and approved by the Board in November 2016.
The reward framework is comprised of a mix of fixed and at-risk remuneration.
Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration is comprised of base salary, salary sacrificed benefits, and other benefits plus superannuation[1] . Fixed remuneration is aligned to market and is determined based on a range of considerations including role size and complexity along with the individual’s performance, skills and experience.
At-risk remuneration
At-risk components of remuneration must satisfy performance and risk-related requirements. They are explicitly linked to the short-term and long-term performance of the Group and moderated by prudent risk management. These components are subject to clawback in part or whole (See iii).
The target remuneration mix for each role is determined by a number of factors including accountability of the role, level of influence over business function or group results and relevant market practice. Actual remuneration mix is determined based on consideration of individual, business function and group performance.
Short-term incentives (STI)
Eligible employees participate in one of two types of STI plan:
-
The Corporate Incentive Plan: As the Group’s primary STI plan, it is designed to appropriately reward high performance and to encourage behavior that supports the long-term financial soundness of the Group.
-
Non-Corporate Incentive Plans: Non-Corporate Incentive Plans are developed and applied under exceptional circumstances where market reward practices necessitate a business specific incentive plan. The plans must adhere to the Group Remuneration Policy and standards and are reviewed annually to ensure compliance with the policy and with any regulatory changes.
For FY17 a new equity-based deferral vehicle was introduced for STI to more effectively align executive[2] reward with the long term interest of stakeholders. All executives that receive an STI have a portion of their incentive deferred for two or three years (depending on role level).
Below EGM level employees may have a portion of their STI deferred for a period of two years, dependent upon the employee’s level and the amount of incentive received.
The deferral periods are considered appropriate to identify, if any instances of significant adverse outcomes have occurred.
For further details refer to Section iii Deferral and Clawback .
1 Superannuation is paid at a rate of 9.5% of base remuneration or the maximum contribution base, whichever is the lesser.
2 Executives are defined as Senior Managers (KMP) and Senior Managers Other (EGMs).
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2017
PAGE 21
SUNCORP
APS330
Long-term Incentives (LTI)
Eligible employees participate in one of two types of LTI plans:
-
Senior Managers (KMP) are eligible to receive performance rights granted under the Group’s Equity Incentive Plan (EIP). These LTI awards are subject to a market-based performance hurdle being met and potential clawback.
-
Select Senior Managers Other (below EGM level employees) are eligible to receive restricted shares granted under the Restricted Share Plan (RSP), consistent with comparable roles across the Group. The shares will vest subject to a time-based hurdle being met and potential clawback.
From FY17, Senior Managers Other (EGMs) no longer participate in the EIP.
Reward Principles and Framework
The remuneration strategy, which is derived from linking the reward philosophy with business strategy and risk tolerance, ensures that the principles that determine remuneration are focused on driving the appropriate performance and behaviors. The following table demonstrates the link between the reward principles and the remuneration framework.

Performance Assessment
The Balanced Scorecard is adopted to assess performance for all employees of the Group and is one of several initiatives in place to promote a culture of prudent risk-taking in accordance with Group policies and values. To embed a culture of prudent risk-taking, risk based performance measures at all organisational levels are integrated with the Group’s risk management framework.
The various performance measures in the Balanced Scorecard are broadly categorised as:
-
profit and financials;
-
risk;
-
people;
-
customer; and
-
other measures – which includes individual measures.
Both STI plan types measure performance against both financial and non-financial objectives.
Performance outcomes are measured based on a challenging and robust assessment of achievement relative to pre-determined targets. Performance against goals is the basis to calculate incentive payments. Governance protocols include:
-
goals are reviewed at least annually to ensure that they are aligned with the business function’s strategy;
-
funding for the plans is assessed against the achievement of strategic business objectives of the business function to ensure it delivers the long-term strategy; and
-
deferral mechanisms are used in accordance with APRA Guidelines and Associated Standards and Group policies.
iii. Remuneration aligns with risk management
A rigorous approach to effective risk management is embedded throughout the Suncorp Group.
The Enterprise Risk Management Framework ( ERMF) is the foundation for all risk management processes across the Group. The ERMF helps ensure the integration of effective risk management across the Group and incorporates Suncorp’s policies (which include risk management policies and the Group Remuneration Policy).
The Board sets the risk appetite for the Group and has ultimate responsibility for the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management practices.
In addition, the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee is a member of the Risk Committee, and similarly the Chairman of the Risk Committee is a member of the Remuneration Committee.
Business function leaders develop their business strategy and risk tolerance with an understanding of the Group’s risk appetite and also what is happening in the market in which the Group operates. Financial returns delivered to the Group are commensurate with the risks the Group is willing to take in pursuit of the achievement of business objectives. Additionally, risk is embedded in the way performance is measured for all employees across Suncorp.
FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2017
PAGE 23
SUNCORP
APS330
In determining ‘at-risk’ remuneration, the Board ensures risk management is considered through the following:
-
Separately weighted risk measures in the Group scorecard and adherence to the agreed risk appetite by the Group, business function and individuals as assessed by the Risk Committee.
-
Individual adherence to risk management policies is assessed to ensure that the CEO & Managing Director, Senior Executives and other employees adhere to the ERMF, demonstrating performance that is aligned to expected ethical standards.
-
An assessment based on behavioral and cultural measures, which considers compliance with the Suncorp Group Risk Appetite Statement. This is a significant consideration of overall performance to deliver an organisation-wide focus on prudent management of the risks the Group faces.
-
The Group scorecard is subject to the Board’s application of a judgment overlay, with risk management considered as a key component of the overall performance outcome.
In determining performance and remuneration outcomes, the Remuneration Committee considers all factors to demonstrate alignment with the Group’s risk appetite and adherence to effective risk management practices to ensure that long-term financial soundness of outcomes is determined, before the Board makes its final determination of the overall STI pool.
The table below provides the key risks and the measures for Suncorp Bank which are updated periodically to ensure that they comply with the legislative standards (note: these risks have not changed over the past year:

Deferral and clawback
Deferred STI and unvested LTI are both subject to potential clawback based on the Board’s judgment, as summarised below.
| Purpose | Clawback enables the Board to adjust performance-based remuneration (including deferred STI |
|---|---|
| and unvested LTI) downwards (including to zero), to protect the Group’s financial soundness and | |
| ability to respond to unforeseen significant issues. | |
| Criteria | Clawback will be applied if prior to the date of release, it is determined that: |
| there was, during the performance year in respect of which the incentive was awarded, a failure | |
| to comply with Suncorp’s risk management policies and practices | |
| the employee was aware of the abovementioned failure, or should reasonably have been aware | |
| of that failure, when the incentive was awarded | |
| the matters referred to above, if known at the time, would have resulted in materially different | |
| assumptions being applied when determining the incentive to be awarded to the employee. | |
| In exercising its discretion, the Board will consider whether the awards are appropriate, given later | |
| individual or business performance and other reasonable considerations. Individual and business | |
| performance considerations include, but are not limited to, significant adverse outcomes that | |
| reflect on the original assessment of performance and incentive decisions and allocations that are | |
| determined to have been made based on materially inaccurate information. | |
| Approval | Senior Managers - KMP |
| process | The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) produce a report on relevant |
| matters to be considered for clawback and release of deferred incentives and unvested LTI awards | |

| The ROC meet quarterly and may recommend the full or partial clawback of any deferred incentive | |

The proportion of STI that is deferred varies by level. The more senior the role, the larger the proportion deferred given the greater amount of influence senior roles have to influence the long-term future of the Group. From FY17, a new equity-based deferral has been introduced for KMPs and EGMs.

*Note ‘cash-based’ deferral remains operative in respect of deferred STI awarded in FY16.
Risk and financial control personnel
Separate performance and remuneration review processes govern remuneration decisions concerning employees working in the areas of risk and financial control.
In these roles, performance measures are set and assessed by leaders within the CRO and CFO functions, independent of their business function, with oversight from the CRO or CFO as appropriate.
In addition, employees working in risk roles across the Group typically have a comparatively higher percentage of risk-based measures in their scorecard.
Material Risk-Taker roles
The Board approved definition of MRT roles aligns with the Responsible Persons’ definition in the Fit and Proper Policy, as it applies to Australia.
All new appointments for these roles, and changes to remuneration arrangements requires approval by the Board. Within pre-defined parameters, delegated authority has been granted by the Board to the CEO & Managing Director to approve appointments or changes to remuneration and terms of employment.
The Board has final oversight and reviews the remuneration arrangements of all MRT roles on an annual basis.
For the purpose of this report, given the alignment of MRTs and Responsible Persons at Suncorp, EGMs and other specified senior roles that meet the definition of Responsible Person in relation to Suncorp Bank are disclosed as Senior Manager (Other) from FY17 onwards (refer to above “Remuneration Overview”).
Due to the re-categorisation of the MRT disclosure to Senior Managers, there are no MRTs in Section 2 of this year’s APS 330 remuneration disclosure.

The deferred equity portion of the FY17 STI is now shown in Share based instruments – Deferred.
7 Equity-settled performance rights issued under the STI Deferral plan, Restricted Share Plan and Long-Term Incentive plan are expensed to the profit or loss based on their fair value at grant date over the period from grant date to vesting date. The fair value is assessed using a Monte-Carlo model and reflects the fact that an individual’s entitlement to the shares is dependent on relative TSR performance. The values realised in subsequent years may differ to the accounting expense reported, depending on the extent to which the performance hurdles are met.
