OVERVIEW

Following a period of decline, the home lending portfolio returned to growth during the quarter, increasing $102 million or 0.2%. Home lending lodgement momentum continued, with total lodgements over 50% higher than 3Q20 and a 16% increase on last quarter. This increase was attributable to the Bank’s improved competitive offerings, stable turnaround times and increased credit assessment efficiency. The Bank continues to deliver its targeted program of work to improve customer and broker experiences and to simplify its origination process. The Bank maintains a high-quality and conservatively positioned home lending portfolio, remaining weighted towards owner occupiers, principal and interest repayments and loans with an LVR below 80%.

Business lending contracted $16 million or 0.1%, due to a reduction in the commercial loan portfolio partially offset by growth in agribusiness lending. The contraction of commercial loans was driven by material paydowns due to successful project completions in the development finance portfolio. Following consecutive seasons of favourable environmental conditions across several geographic areas, agribusiness growth was assisted by customers’ property purchases, through support of cropping activity, and several new to bank refinances.

Household deposits grew broadly in line with system during the quarter with growth in at-call deposits offset by a strategic reduction in the higher-cost term portfolio. At-call deposit growth was predominantly driven by growth in transaction account balances supported by customer focused initiatives including zero accountkeeping fees, competitive rates and ongoing development of digital banking functionality.

The Bank has continued to focus on increasing its digital enablement and capabilities. The number of digitally active Bank customers increased 6% (annualised) through the quarter, as customer logins increased to 1 million in a week. The average number of monthly Suncorp App logins per user has continued to grow, increasing to 20.0 by March 2021 (March 2020: 12.9). This increasing digital engagement remains a key focus.

Total impairment losses for the quarter were $1 million, equivalent to 1 basis point of gross loans and advances (annualised). This reflects an unchanged collective provision and a small specific provision expense during the period. The Bank held an unchanged collective provision from 31 December 2020, despite an improved economic outlook, recognising the residual uncertainty following the cessation of a number of COVID-19 related government support and stimulus measures and the end of APRA capital concession loan repayment deferrals. A full review of the collective provision, incorporating changes in the economic outlook and emerging default experience over the next few months, will be undertaken as part of finalising the 30 June financial position.

Gross impaired assets increased $20 million over the quarter to $205 million or 36 basis points of gross loans and advances (GLA), mainly due to the impairment of a single commercial borrower group in the hospitality industry, which is heavily reliant on tourism and accordingly has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Gross impaired retail loans decreased by $8 million, underpinned by the strong housing market supporting voluntary asset sales by borrowers, coupled with strong clearance rates for properties brought to auction.

Total past due loans not impaired increased by $85 million over the quarter to $599 million or 1% of GLA, predominantly driven by a $76 million increase in retail lending arrears. Whilst some of this increase can be attributed to the seasonal increase in arrears post-Christmas, it is also a result of customers previously under a COVID-19 deferral arrangement moving into business-as-usual hardship and arrears. There was a $1 million increase in the agribusiness portfolio and an $8 million increase in the commercial portfolio, due to several small borrower groups.

As at 31 March 2021, the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 133% and the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was 159%, demonstrating the continued strength of Suncorp’s funding and liquidity position as well as the benefit of the undrawn RBA term funding facility.

Suncorp’s capital levels remain sound, with a risk-weighted Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 9.79% (December 2020: 10.05%), above the Bank’s target operating range of 9-9.50%.

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio ( LCR ) promotes shorter-term resilience by requiring ADIs to maintain sufficient qualifying High Quality Liquid Assets ( HQLA ) to meet expected net cash outflows under an APRA prescribed 30 calendar day stress scenario. SML manages its LCR on a daily basis and maintains a buffer over the regulatory minimum of 100%.

The amount of liquid assets held considers the amount needed to meet prudential and internal requirements (including a variety of internal stress scenarios as part of the risk management framework) and a suitable buffer reflecting management’s preference.

Liquid assets included in the LCR comprise HQLA (cash, Australian Semi-Government and Commonwealth Government securities) and alternative liquid assets covered by the Committed Liquidity Facility ( CLF ) and the available Term Funding Facility ( TFF ) with the Reserve Bank of Australia ( RBA ). SML received approval from APRA for a CLF of $4.6 billion for the 2020 calendar year, however, as part of support measures provided by APRA and the RBA in response to COVID-19, SML received an increase to the CLF of $1.4 billion (total of $6.0 billion) from 1 May 2020, which was returned to $4.6 billion as of 1 December 2020. The CLF remained at $4.6 billion for the March 2021 quarter and following further approval, reduced to $3.91 billion on 1 April 2021.

Assets eligible for the CLF and TFF include senior unsecured bank paper, covered bonds and residential mortgage backed securities that are repo-eligible with the RBA. SML increased its self-securitisation in March 2020 which has covered the CLF increase from May 2020, and the TFF.

The daily average LCR was 159% over the March 2021 quarter, compared to an average of 175% over the December 2020 quarter. The decrease in the average LCR was primarily due to the decrease to the CLF on 1 December 2020 noted above, as well as an increase in average net cash outflows over the quarter. This decrease in CLF was partially offset by increases in the additional TFF between the December and March quarters. The main contributors to increases in net cash outflows were; an increase in retail customers placing their funds at call rather than in term deposits, and modelled outflows associated with short term wholesale funding, offset by inflows from maturing loans and issuance of term wholesale liabilities.

The LCR is forecast to remain above normal operating range over the next period due to the impact of the TFF measures.

APPENDIX 2 - DEFINITIONS

AASB 9 AASB 9_Financial Instruments_was issued in December 2014. It addresses recognition and
measurement requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities, impairment requirements that
introduce a forward-looking expected credit loss impairment model, and general hedge accounting
requirements which more closely align with risk management activities undertaken when hedging
financial and non-financial risks. This standard became mandatory for the annual reporting period
from 1 July 2018.
Capital adequacy ratio Capital base divided by total assessed risk, as defined by APRA.
Collective provision A collective provision is established to determine expected credit losses (see also Expected Credit
Losses definition below) for loan exposures which are not specifically provisioned and can be in the
performing or non-performing portfolios. For business banking exposures, a ratings-based approach
is applied using estimates of probability of default and loss given default, at a customer level. For
portfolio managed exposures, the portfolios are split into pools with homogenous risk profiles and
pool estimates of probability of default and loss given default are used to calculate the collective
provision.
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Common Equity Tier 1 capital comprises accounting equity plus adjustments for intangible assets
and regulatory reserves.
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio Common Equity Tier 1 divided by total risk weighted assets, as defined by APRA.
Credit value adjustment (CVA) A capital charge that covers the risk of mark-to-market losses on the counterparty credit risk.
Eligible collective provisions Primarily represents the collective provision for impairment on loans and advances in Stage 1
(performing and/or newly originated assets). Provisions for loans and advances in Stage 1 are
established to provide for expected credit losses (ECL) for a period of 12 months. Forward-looking
provisions for future, presently unidentified losses are also included within the Eligible collective
provision balance.
Expected Credit Losses (ECL) Expected credit losses (ECL) are calculated as the probability of default (PD) x loss given default
(LGD) x exposure at default. The credit models are calibrated to reflect PD and LGD estimates
based on historical observed experience, as well as reflecting unbiased forward-looking views of
macroeconomic conditions, through macroeconomic variables that influence credit losses, for
example unemployment rates and changes in house prices.
Equity reserve for credit losses The equity reserve for credit losses represents the difference between the collective provision for
impairment and the estimate of credit losses across the credit cycle based on guidance provided by
APRA.
General reserve for credit losses (GRCL) The general reserve for credit losses is a reserve that covers credit losses prudently estimated but
not certain to arise over the full life of all the individual facilities based on guidance provided by
APRA.
Impaired assets Impaired assets are those for which the Bank has determined that it is probable that it will be unable
to collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms. The Bank fully considers
the counterparty’s capacity to repay and security valuation position before an asset is considered
impaired.
Ineligible collective provisions Represents the collective provision for impairment on loans and advances in Stage 2 or Stage 3.
Stage 2 assets include assets that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since
origination (under-performing loans). Stage 3 assets within ineligible collective provisions include
‘past due but not impaired’ and ‘impaired assets’ (non-performing loans, other than those for which a
specific provision is held under AASB 9). Collective provisions for loans and advances in Stage 2
and Stage 3 are established to provide for ECL for the remaining term of the loans and advances
(lifetime ECL). Ineligible collective provision is considered as specific provision for regulatory
purposes under APS 220_Credit Quality_.
Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) An APRA requirement to maintain a sufficient level of qualifying high-quality liquid assets to meet
liquidity needs under an APRA-defined significant stress event lasting for 30 calendar days. Absent
of a situation of financial stress, the LCR must not be less than 100%. The LCR is calculated as the
ratio of qualifying high-quality liquid assets relative to net cash outflows in a modelled APRA-defined
30-day stress scenario.
Loan-to-value ratio (LVR) Ratio of a loan to the value of the asset purchased.
Past due loans Loans outstanding for more than 90 days.
Risk weighted assets Total of the carrying value of each asset class multiplied by their assigned risk weighting, as defined
by APRA.
Specific provision A specific provision for impairment is recognised where there is objective evidence of impairment
and full recovery of principal and interest is considered doubtful. The present value of the expected
future cash flows is compared to the carrying amount of the loan to determine the specific provision
required.
Term Funding Facility (TFF) On 19 March 2020, the RBA announced the Term Funding Facility (TFF) to support lending to
Australian businesses as part of a package of measures to support the Australian economy. Under
the TFF, Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) can access three-year funding through
repurchase agreements at a fixed interest rate equivalent to the official cash rate at the time of
drawdown.
Total assessed risk Credit risk-weighted assets, off-balance sheet positions, market risk capital charge and operational
risk charge, as defined by APRA.
