Dividends

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ), with consideration to the current uncertainties in the economic outlook and the letter issued by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) to all Authorised Deposit Taking Institutions (ADIs) on 7 April 2020, on capital management and the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, has deferred the decision on the payment of a 2020 interim dividend until the economic outlook is clearer. Decisions in relation to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan will also be made at that time as applicable.

The Board will continue to deliberate and an update will be provided at the August 2020 market update.

1	Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are to the half year ended 31 March 2019.

Cash profit excludes non-core items included in statutory profit and is provided to assist readers in understanding the result of the core business activities of the Group. The non-core items are calculated consistently period on period so as not to discriminate between positive and negative adjustments, and fall into one of the three categories: gains or losses included in earnings arising from changes in tax, legal or accounting legislation or other non-core items not associated with the core operations of the Group; treasury shares, revaluation of policy liabilities, economic hedging and similar accounting items that represent timing differences that will reverse through earnings in the future; and accounting reclassifications between individual line items that do not impact reported results, such as credit risk on impaired derivatives. Cash profit is not a measure of cash flow or profit determined on a cash basis. The net after tax adjustment was a reduction to statutory profit of $222 million (all attributable to continuing operations) made up of several items. Refer pages 71 to 75 for further details.

3	The decision on the payment of a 2020 interim dividend has been deferred until the economic outlook is clearer and an update will be provided at the August 2020 market update.

SUMMARY

Guide to Half Year Results

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. While pervasive across the financial statements, the estimation uncertainty is predominantly related to expected credit losses where the Group recognised a credit impairment charge of $1.7bn pre-tax in the March 2020 half, and the fair value measurement and recoverable amount assessments of non-financial assets where the Group recognised an impairment loss of $815 million in respect of two of the Group’s Asian associate investments. For further details of these estimation uncertainties refer to Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED

During the period, the Group adopted AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16) and applied a modified retrospective transition approach in recognising all leases (except for leases of low value assets and short term leases) on the balance sheet based on the present value of remaining lease payments as of 1 October 2019. Consequently on 1 October 2019 the Group recognised an increase in lease liabilities of $1.7 billion, a right-of-use lease asset of $1.6 billion, an increase in deferred tax assets of $37 million and a net reduction to opening retained earnings of $88 million. For further details on key requirements and impacts of the changes refer to Note 1 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Group early adopted AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform from 1 October 2019. The standard modifies certain hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from the potential effects of the uncertainty caused by interest rate benchmark reform.

NON-IFRS INFORMATION

Statutory profit is prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, which comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Group provides additional measures of performance in the Consolidated Financial Report & Dividend Announcement which are prepared on a basis other than in accordance with accounting standards. The guidance provided in Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Regulatory Guide 230 has been followed when presenting this information.

Cash Profit

Cash profit, a non-IFRS measure, represents ANZ’s preferred measure of the result of the core business activities of the Group, enabling readers to assess Group and Divisional performance against prior periods and against peer institutions. The adjustments made in arriving at cash profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to review within the context of the external auditor’s review of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Cash profit is not subject to review by the external auditor. The external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that cash profit adjustments have been determined on a consistent basis across each period presented.

•

Adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit - To calculate cash profit, the Group excludes non-core items from statutory profit. Refer to pages 71 to 75 for adjustments between statutory and cash profit.

•

Large/Notable items within cash profit - The Group’s cash profit result from continuing operations includes a number of items collectively referred to as large/notable items. While these items form part of cash profit, given their nature and significance, they have been presented separately with comparative information, where relevant, to provide transparency and aid comparison. Refer to pages 13 to 16 for details of large/notable items.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The financial results of the divested Wealth Australia businesses and associated Group reclassification and consolidation impacts are treated as discontinued operations from a financial reporting perspective. The Group Income Statement and Statement of Comprehensive Income show discontinued operations separately from continuing operations in a separate line item ‘Profit/(Loss) from discontinued operations’.

•

Sale to IOOF Holdings Limited (IOOF)

In October 2017, the Group announced it had agreed to sell its OnePath pensions and investments (OnePath P&I) business and Aligned Dealer Groups (ADGs) businesses to IOOF. The sale of the ADG business completed on 1 October 2018 and the OnePath P&I business completed on 31 January 2020.

•

Sale to Zurich Financial Services Australia (Zurich)

In December 2017, the Group announced it had agreed to sell its life insurance business to Zurich and the transaction completed on 31 May 2019.

Included in the ‘Cash loss from discontinued operations’ is:

•

A $16 million loss on disposal ($11 million loss after tax) was recognised in the March 2020 half attributable to sale completion costs. The September 2019 half included a $23 million loss ($81 million loss after tax) attributable to sale related adjustments and write-downs, the reversal of the life-to-date cash profit adjustments on the revaluation of policy liabilities sold to Zurich, partially offset by the recycling on sale completion of gains previously deferred in equity reserves; and

•

Customer remediation which includes provisions for expected refunds to customers and related remediation costs associated with inappropriate advice or services not provided in the pensions and investments and life insurance businesses, as follows:

GROUP RESULTS

Non-IFRS Information

Statutory profit is prepared in accordance with recognition and measurement requirements of Australian Accounting Standards, which comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Group provides additional measures of performance in the Consolidated Financial Report & Dividend Announcement which are prepared on a basis other than in accordance with accounting standards. The guidance provided in Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Regulatory Guide 230 has been followed when presenting this information.

Cash Profit

Cash profit, a non-IFRS measure, represents ANZ’s preferred measure of the result of the core business activities of the Group, enabling readers to assess Group and Divisional performance against prior periods and against peer institutions. To calculate cash profit, the Group excludes non-core items from statutory profit (refer to Definitions on pages 139 to 140 for further details). The adjustments made in arriving at cash profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to review within the context of the external auditor’s review of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Cash profit is not subject to review by the external auditor. The external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that cash profit adjustments have been determined on a consistent basis across each period presented.

•

$48 million increase in Franchise Sales due to demand from large corporate customers and financial institutions for FX, Commodities and Rates products.

The Expected Credit Loss (ECL) charge for the half year and ECL provisions as at 31 March 2020 are therefore largely based on management judgement with respect to the impacts of COVID-19 on the Group’s credit exposures. The judgements and assumptions made by management are based on a variety of internal and external information, as well as the Group’s experience with respect to the performance of the portfolio under previous stressed conditions. The Group also considers applying temporary adjustments to the ECL for recent and transitory conditions applying to segments of the portfolio.

Collectively assessed credit impairment charge

March 2020 v March 2019

The collectively assessed credit impairment charge increased by $1,035 million primarily driven by a $479 million increase in the Australia Retail and Commercial division, a $392 million increase in the Institutional division and a $149 million increase in the New Zealand division. The significant increases across all divisions are primarily due to forward-looking impact of material deterioration in the economic outlook due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

March 2020 v September 2019

The collectively assessed credit impairment charge increased by $1,044 million primarily driven by a $564 million increase in the Australia Retail and Commercial division, a $336 million increase in the Institutional division and a $127 million increase in the New Zealand division. The significant increases across all divisions are primarily due to forward-looking impact of material deterioration in the economic outlook due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

GROUP RESULTS

Individually assessed credit impairment charge

March 2020 v March 2019

The individually assessed credit impairment charge increased by $246 million primarily due to a small number of new single name impairments in the Institutional division. This was partially offset by improved mortgage delinquencies in the Australia retail portfolios combined with ongoing lower portfolio growth in the unsecured portfolio.

March 2020 v September 2019

The individually assessed credit impairment charge increased by $228 million primarily due to a small number of new single name impairments in the Institutional division. This was partially offset by improved mortgage delinquencies in the Australia retail portfolios combined with ongoing lower portfolio growth in the unsecured portfolio.

Long-Run Loss Rates

Management believe that disclosure of modelled long-run historical loss rates for individually assessed provisions assists in assessing the longer term expected loss rates of the lending portfolio as it removes the volatility of reported earnings created by the use of accounting losses. The long-run loss methodology used for economic profit is an internal measure and is not based on the credit loss principles of AASB 9 Financial Instruments. In addition, given it is based on an average historical long-run loss rate it does not reflect the potential forward looking impacts associated with COVID-19.

Impaired loans and non-performing commitments and contingencies do not include exposures which are included in collectively assessed Stage 3 ECL, which comprise unsecured retail exposures greater than 90 days past due and defaulted but well secured exposures.

^3.

Restructured items are facilities where the original contractual terms have been modified for reasons related to the financial difficulties of the customer. Restructuring may consist of reduction of interest, principal or other payments legally due, or an extension in maturity materially beyond those typically offered to new facilities with similar risk.

March 2020 v March 2019

Gross impaired assets increased $471 million (22%) driven by the Institutional division ($369 million), Australia Retail and Commercial division ($81 million) and New Zealand division ($26 million). The increase in the Institutional division relates to impairments on a small number of single name exposures. The Australia Retail and Commercial division increase was driven by the implementation of a more market responsive collateral valuation methodology for the Australian home loan portfolio combined with a single name exposure in the commercial portfolio. The increase in New Zealand is driven by impairments on a small number of single name commercial exposures.

March 2020 v September 2019

Gross impaired assets increased $570 million (28%) driven by the Institutional division ($477 million), Australia Retail and Commercial division ($76 million) and New Zealand division ($19 million). The increase in the Institutional division relates to impairments on a small number of single name exposures. The Australia Retail and Commercial division increase was driven by the implementation of a more market responsive collateral valuation methodology for the Australian home loan portfolio combined with a single name exposure in the commercial portfolio.

The Group’s individually assessed provision coverage ratio on impaired assets was 42.1% at 31 March 2020 (Sep 19: 40.1%; Mar 19: 41.9%).

March 2020 v September 2019

New impaired assets increased by $453 million (41%) with increases in Institutional division ($534 million) related to a small number of impairments of single name exposures. This was partially offset by Australia Retail and Commercial division (-$46 million) driven by ongoing lower growth in the unsecured and small business banking portfolio.

Earnings Related Hedges – continuing operations

Where it is considered appropriate, the Group takes out economic hedges against larger foreign exchange denominated revenue streams (primarily New Zealand Dollar, US Dollar and US Dollar correlated). New Zealand Dollar exposure relates to the New Zealand geography and USD exposures relate to Asia, Pacific, Europe & America. Details of these hedges are set out below.

USD 0.4 billion at a forward rate of approximately USD 0.67/AUD.

During the March 2020 half:

•

NZD 1.1 billion of economic hedges matured and a realised loss of $13 million (pre-tax) was recorded in cash profit.

•

USD 0.2 billion of economic hedges matured and a realised loss of $15 million (pre-tax) was recorded in cash profit.

An unrealised loss of $167 million (pre-tax) on the outstanding NZD and USD economic hedges were recorded in the statutory Income Statement during the year. This unrealised loss has been treated as an adjustment to statutory profit in calculating cash profit as these are hedges of future NZD and USD revenues.

March 2020 v March 2019

Cash/Settlement balances owed to ANZ/Collateral paid increased $56.9 billion (+52%) driven by an increase in balances with central banks in Markets, increased overnight bank deposits in Treasury, increase in short term reverse repurchase agreements in Markets and Treasury, increase in collateral paid associated with higher derivative liability position and foreign currency translation movements.

Trading and investment securities increased $13.2 billion (+11%) driven by an increase in liquid assets in Markets and the impact of foreign currency translation movements.

Derivative financial assets and liabilities increased $94.3 billion and $86.5 billion respectively as interest rate and foreign exchange movements resulted in higher derivative volumes and fair values, particularly in interest rate and foreign exchange swap products.

Net loans and advances increased $47.3 billion (+8%), driven by lending growth in the Institutional division (+$39.3 billion), growth in home loans in the New Zealand division (+$4.6 billion) and the impact of foreign currency translation movements, partially offset by the decrease in Australia Retail and Commercial division (-$6.8 billion) across home loans and unsecured portfolios.

Assets and liabilities held for sale decreased $43.5 billion (-100%) and $46.6 billion (-100%) respectively driven by the sale completion of the life insurance business to IOOF and Zurich, Cambodia JV and PNG Retail, Commercial and SME.

Settlement balances owed by ANZ/Collateral received increased $21.7 billion driven by higher cash clearing account balances in the Institutional division, an increase in collateral received associated with higher derivative asset position and foreign currency translation movements.

Deposits and other borrowings increased $91.9 billion (+14%) driven by increased customer deposits in the Institutional division (+$37.5 billion), Australia Retail and Commercial division (+$9.6 billion) and New Zealand division (+$4.4 billion), an increase in deposits from banks and repurchase agreements (+$10.9 billion), an increase in commercial paper issued (+$6.3 billion) and the impact of foreign currency translation movements. This was partially offset by reduction in certificates of deposit (-$6.2 billion).

Debt issuances increased $10.5 billion (+8%) driven by senior debt issuances and the impact of foreign currency translation movements.

March 2020 v September 2019

Cash/Settlement balances owed to ANZ/Collateral paid increased $66.5 billion (+66%) driven by an increase in balances with central banks in Markets, increased overnight bank deposits in Treasury, increase in short term reverse repurchase agreements in Markets and Treasury, increase in collateral paid associated with higher derivative liability position and foreign currency translation movements.

Trading and investment securities increased $8.1 billion (+6%) driven by an increase in liquid assets in Markets and the impact of foreign currency translation movements.

Liquidity Risk - including discontinued operations

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due, including repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt, or that the Group has insufficient capacity to fund increases in assets. The timing mismatch of cash flows and the related liquidity risk is inherent in all banking operations and is closely monitored by the Group and managed in accordance with the risk appetite set by the Board.

The Group’s approach to liquidity risk management incorporates two key components:

Scenario modelling of funding sources

ANZ’s liquidity risk appetite is defined by the ability to meet a range of regulatory requirements and internal liquidity metrics mandated by the Board. The metrics cover a range of scenarios of varying duration and level of severity. The objective of this framework is to:

Provide protection against shorter term extreme market dislocation and stress.

Maintain structural strength in the balance sheet by ensuring that an appropriate amount of longer-term assets are funded with longer-term funding.

Ensure that no undue timing concentrations exist in the Group’s funding profile.

A key component of this framework is the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), which is a severe short term liquidity stress scenario mandated by banking regulators including APRA. As part of meeting LCR requirements, ANZ has a Committed Liquidity Facility (CLF) with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). The CLF has been established to offset the shortage of available High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) in Australia and provides an alternative form of contingent liquidity. The total amount of the CLF available to a qualifying Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) is set annually by APRA. From 1 January 2020, ANZ’s CLF is $35.7 billion (2019 calendar year end: $48.0 billion).

Liquid assets

The Group holds a portfolio of high quality unencumbered liquid assets in order to protect the Group’s liquidity position in a severely stressed environment, as well as to meet regulatory requirements. High Quality Liquid Assets comprise three categories, with the definitions consistent with Basel 3 LCR:

Highest-quality liquid assets (HQLA1): Cash, highest credit quality government, central bank or public sector securities eligible for repurchase with central banks to provide same-day liquidity.

High-quality liquid assets (HQLA2): High credit quality government, central bank or public sector securities, high quality corporate debt securities and high quality covered bonds eligible for repurchase with central banks to provide same-day liquidity.

Alternative liquid assets (ALA): Assets qualifying as collateral for the CLF and other eligible securities listed by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ).

The Group monitors and manages the size and composition of its liquid assets portfolio on an ongoing basis in line with regulatory requirements and the risk appetite set by the Board.

COVID-19 has impacted the normal operations of financial markets including funding markets, however the actions of governments globally and central banks including; the RBA, RBNZ and the US Federal Reserve have provided significant liquidity support to the system and financial markets generally.ANZ’s liquidity measures have remained above management targets throughout this period and have strengthened further following the actions of central banks.

March 2020 v September 2019

ANZ’s CET1 ratio decreased 60 bps to 10.8% during the March 2020 half. Key drivers of the movement in the CET1 ratio were:

Cash NPAT (excluding large/notable items and credit impairment charge or CIC) increased the CET1 ratio by +87 bps

The above however was offset by :

The impact from increases in CIC including the associated deferred tax assets (DTA) increase, along with the impact of RWA risk migration, which totalled -43 bps. These increases were primarily driven by the COVID-19 impact.

Higher underlying RWA usage (excluding foreign currency translation movements, regulatory changes and other one-offs) from strong lending growth, mainly within the Institutional division.

Capital deductions reduced the CET1 ratio by -5 bps, representing the movements in retained earnings in deconsolidated entities, capitalised software and other intangible movements during the half.

Payment of the September 2019 final dividend (net of BOP issuance, neutralised DRP) which reduced the CET1 ratio by 53 bps.

Other impacts of -2 bps. This included the capital benefits from sale of the Pension and Investment business to IOOF (+19 bps), but was more than offset by the impacts from net increase in RWA imposts (-5 bps) which included the implementation of AASB 16, large/notable adjustments (-7 bps) and various other movements (-9 bps).

Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation movements and other non-recurring CRWA changes, underlying CRWAs (divisional lending and risk migration) increased by $16.9 billion, mainly driven by lending growth in the Institutional division. Other CRWA changes are mainly net impacts from RWA imposts including the impacts from implementation of AASB 16. The total increase in non-CRWA was $4.1 billion, of which of $2.8 billion mainly reflects increase in Market Risk RWA as a result of increased market volatility and IRRBB RWA due to a deterioration in embedded gains. The increase in Operational Risk RWA of $1.3 billion is due to impacts of foreign exchange movements.

APRA to Internationally Comparable¹ Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1 ratio) as at 31 March 2020

LOGO

^1.

ANZ’s interpretation of the regulations documented in the Basel Committee publications: “Basel 3: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems” (June 2011) and “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards” (June 2006). Also includes differences identified in APRA’s information paper entitled “International Capital Comparison Study” (13 July 2015).

The above provides a reconciliation of the CET1 ratio under APRA’s Basel 3 prudential capital standards to Internationally Comparable Basel 3 standards. APRA views the Basel 3 reforms as a minimum requirement and hence has not incorporated some of the concessions proposed in the Basel 3 rules and has also set higher requirements in other areas. As a result, Australian banks’ Basel 3 reported capital ratios will not be directly comparable with international peers. The International Comparable Basel 3 CET1 ratio incorporates differences between APRA and both the Basel Committee Basel 3 framework (including differences identified in the March 2014 Basel Committee’s Regulatory Consistency Assessment Programme (RCAP) on Basel 3 implementation in Australia) and its application in major offshore jurisdictions.

The material differences between APRA Basel 3 and Internationally Comparable Basel 3 ratios include:

Deductions

Investments in insurance and banking associates - APRA requires full deduction against CET1. On an Internationally Comparable basis, these investments are subject to a concessional threshold before a deduction is required.

Deferred tax assets - A full deduction is required from CET1 for deferred tax assets (DTA) relating to temporary differences. On an Internationally Comparable basis, this is first subject to a concessional threshold before the deduction is required.

Risk Weighted Assets (RWA)

Mortgages RWA - APRA imposes a floor of 20% on the downturn Loss Given Default (LGD) used in credit RWA calculations for residential mortgages. The Internationally Comparable Basel 3 framework requires a downturn LGD floor of 10%. Additionally, from July 2016, APRA requires a higher correlation factor than the Basel framework.

IRRBB RWA - APRA requires inclusion of Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) within the RWA base for the CET1 ratio calculation. This is not required on an Internationally Comparable basis.

Specialised lending - APRA requires the supervisory slotting approach to be used in determining credit RWA for specialised lending exposures. The Internationally Comparable basis allows for the advanced internal ratings based approach to be used when calculating RWA for these exposures.

Unsecured Corporate Lending LGD - an adjustment to align ANZ’s unsecured corporate lending LGD to 45% to be consistent with banks in other jurisdictions. The 45% LGD rate is also used in the Foundation Internal Ratings-Based approach (FIRB).

Undrawn Corporate Lending Exposure at Default (EAD) - an adjustment to ANZ’s credit conversion factors (CCF) for undrawn corporate loan commitments to 75% (used in FIRB approach) to align with banks in other jurisdictions.

APRA leverage ratio decreased 57 bps during the half. Key drivers of the movement were:

•

On balance sheet exposures growth primarily from higher liquids and loan growth in the Institutional business (-32 bps).

•

Growth in securities financing transactions further decreased the leverage ratio by 15 bps.

•

Increase in derivatives exposures and non-market other off-balance sheet exposures reduced the leverage ratio by 6 bps.

•

Net other impacts of -4 bps. This included the benefits from sale of the Pension and Investment business to IOOF (+8 bps) but is more than offset by impacts from increased deferred tax assets (-4 bps), large and notable adjustments (-3 bps), impact from implementation of AASB 16 (-2 bps) and other items (-3 bps).

Capital Management – Other Developments

Capital Requirements – Unquestionably Strong

The Australian Government completed a comprehensive inquiry into Australia’s financial system in 2014 which included a number of key recommendations that may have an impact on regulatory capital levels. APRA initiatives in support of the recommendations are:

•

In July 2017, APRA released an information paper outlining its assessment on the additional capital required for the Australian banking sector to be considered ‘unquestionably strong’ as originally outlined in the FSI final report in December 2014. APRA indicated that “in the case of the four major Australian banks, this equated to a benchmark CET1 capital ratio, under the current capital adequacy framework, of at least 10.5 percent from 1 January 2020”.

•

APRA is consulting on a number of proposals in relation to risk-weighting framework revisions to credit risk, operational risk, market risk and interest rate risk in the banking book requirements. While the final forms of these proposals is not yet determined, the Group expects the implementation of any revisions to the current requirements will result in further changes to the risk weighting framework for certain asset classes and other risk types (such as market and operational risk). APRA has announced that it does not expect that the changes to the risk weights will necessitate further increases in capital for ADIs, although this could vary by ADIs depending on the final requirements.

•

APRA released a discussion paper in August 2018 on adjustments to the overall design of the capital framework to improve transparency, international comparability and flexibility of the ADIs capital framework. The focus of the proposals is on the presentation of the capital ratios to facilitate comparability whilst recognising the relative capital strength of ADIs and measures to enhance supervisory flexibility in times of financial stress.

APRA’s consultation for the above is ongoing. In response to the challenging economic environment resulting from the COVID-19 disruptions, APRA has:

•

Announced a temporary change to its expectations with regards to ADIs maintaining bank capital ratios at the Unquestionably Strong benchmark of 10.5% for CET1. During the period of disruption, APRA would not be concerned if ADIs are not meeting this benchmark as the current large buffers may be needed to facilitate ongoing lending to the Australian economy.

•

Deferred its scheduled implementation of changes to ADIs risk-weighting framework by one year. The majority of the capital reforms were initially due for implementation on 1 January 2022, but these have now been revised to 1 January 2023. The deferral also includes APRA proposals on improving transparency, international comparability and flexibility of the ADIs capital framework.

Given the number of items that are yet to be finalised by APRA, the final outcome of the FSI including any further changes to APRA’s prudential standards or other impacts on the Group remains uncertain.

•

APRA Guidance on Capital Management

As a result of the COVID-19 disruption, on 7 April 2020, APRA wrote to ADIs and provided additional guidance to ADIs on the factors to consider when making decisions on discretionary capital distributions such as the Group’s ordinary share dividend. APRA has also indicated that during the period of the disruption (and at least in the next two months from the date of the guidance), APRA expects ADIs to seriously consider deferring decisions on the appropriate level of dividends until the outlook is clearer. However, where a Board is confident that they are able to approve a dividend before this, on the basis of robust stress testing results that have been discussed with APRA, this should nevertheless be at a materially reduced level. Dividend payments should be offset to the extent possible through the use of dividend reinvestment plans and other capital management initiatives.

•

APRA Total Loss Absorbing Capacity Requirements

In July 2019, APRA announced its decision on loss-absorbing capacity in which it will require domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs), including ANZ, to increase their Total Capital by 3% of risk-weighted assets by January 2024. Based on ANZ’s capital position as at 31 March 2020, this represents an incremental increase in the Total Capital requirement of approximately $9 billion, with an equivalent decrease in other senior funding. APRA has stated that it anticipates that D-SIBs would satisfy the requirement predominantly with Tier 2 capital.

•

Revisions to Related Entities Framework

APRA announced in August 2019 that it will implement its proposal to reduce limits for Australian ADIs’ exposure to related entities, reducing limits from 50% of Level 1 Total capital to 25% of Level 1 Tier 1 capital. As exposures are measured net of capital deductions, the proposed changes to APRA’s capital regulations (contained in APS111 below) would affect the measurement of ADIs exposures. On the basis that the APS111 revisions are implemented as currently proposed, the reduction in the above limits is not expected to have a material impact on ANZ and its subsidiaries. The implementation date for changes to the related entities framework has been deferred by APRA to 1 January 2022 (12 month deferral from initial implementation date of 1 January 2021).

Revisions to APS111 Capital Adequacy

In October 2019, APRA released a discussion paper on draft revisions to the prudential standards APS111 Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital for consultation. The most material change from APRA’s proposal is in relation to the treatment of capital investments for each banking and insurance subsidiary at Level 1 with the tangible component of the investment changing from 400% risk weighting to:

•

250% risk weighting up to an amount equal to 10% of ANZ’s net Level 1 Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1); and

•

the remainder of the investment will be treated as a CET1 capital deduction.

ANZ is reviewing the implications for its current investments. The net impact on the Group is unclear and will depend upon a number of factors including the capitalisation of the affected subsidiaries at the time of implementation, the final form of the prudential standard, as well as the effect of management actions being pursued that have the potential to materially offset the impact of these proposals. Based on ANZ’s current investment in its affected subsidiaries and in the absence of any offsetting management actions, the above proposals implies a reduction in ANZ’s Level 1 CET1 capital ratio of up to approximately $2.5bn (~75 basis points). However, ANZ believes that this outcome is unlikely and, post implementation of management actions, the net capital impact could be minimal. There is no impact on ANZ’s Level 2 CET1 capital ratio arising from these proposed changes. The proposed implementation date of 1 January 2021 for these changes is currently under review by APRA in line with their announcements to suspend public consultation on revisions to prudential standards that are currently underway or upcoming, with no plans for recommencement before 30 September 2020.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) review of capital requirements

On 5 December 2019, ANZBGL provided an update on the impacts of the release of RBNZ’s final capital requirements. The key changes to the RBNZ final capital requirements relative to the consultation paper:

•

No change in total Tier 1 capital required for ANZ New Zealand of 16%, the transition period is longer at seven years, and there is a reduced impact on CET1 capital for the Group;

•

A greater proportion of the increase is in AT1 capital (2.5% compared to the initial proposal of 1.5%), decreasing the amount of CET1 capital required; and

•

Redeemable preference shares are allowable as AT1 capital. It is anticipated that ANZ New Zealand will be able to refinance existing internal AT1 securities to external counterparties.

At the time of the RBNZ announcement the net impact on the Group is an increase in CET1 capital of approximately A$3.0 billion by July 2027 over the seven year transition period (based on the Group’s 30 September 2019 balance sheet), which includes an approximately A$1.0 billion management buffer.

The RBNZ has delayed the commencement date of the increased capital requirements by 12 months to 1 July 2021 (from 1 July 2020) in response to the uncertainties from the COVID-19 pandemic.

•

RBNZ announcement on actions to support the banking system

With effect from 2 April 2020, the RBNZ amended ANZ New Zealand’s Conditions of Registration to (among other things) prohibit ANZ New Zealand from making distributions other than discretionary payments payable to holders of Additional Tier 1 capital instruments. This restriction applies to all New Zealand-incorporated banks, and is intended to support the stability of the financial system during the COVID-19 pandemic. These requirements prevent ANZ New Zealand from redeeming its NZ$500 million Capital Notes in May 2020, although ANZ New Zealand can continue making coupon payments on those Capital Notes. The terms of the Capital Notes provide for their conversion into a variable number of ANZBGL shares in May 2020 (ANZ New Zealand option) or May 2022 subject to certain conditions. Conversion would result in an increase in the Group’s CET1 capital (~12bps at Level 2). ANZ New Zealand has announced that it will not be exercising its option to convert in May 2020.

Performance March 2020 v March 2019

•

Lending volumes declined particularly in home loans due to faster principal reductions in a low rate environment and competition. This was partially offset by recovery in volumes following the launch of a number of marketing campaigns and improvements in operational processes.

•

Net interest margin increased driven by lower funding costs and home loan repricing benefits largely offset by headwinds of official cash rate decreases on low rate deposits and earnings on capital.

•

Other operating income decreased driven by the full period impact of fees removed in the prior period and lower volumes.

•

Operating expenses increased driven by higher restructuring expenses, additional charges for lease-related items, higher remediation expenses and higher investment spend. Inflation increases were offset by productivity benefits.

•

Credit impairment charges increased driven by an additional collectively assessed credit impairment charge for COVID-19 impacts.

Performance March 2020 v March 2019

•

Lending volumes increased across all businesses. Customer deposits grew in Markets and Transaction Banking.

•

Net interest margin ex-Markets decreased mainly due to lower deposit margins as a result of lower interest rates.

•

Other operating income increased mainly due to higher Markets income.

•

Operating expenses decreased as a result of automation and simplification initiatives that resulted in lower FTE, lower discretionary spend and lower property charges.

•

Credit impairment charges increased due to an additional collectively assessed credit impairment charge for COVID-19 impacts and an increase in individually assessed credit impairment charges in Transaction Banking.

Performance March 2020 v March 2019

•

Lending and customer deposit volumes grew across all portfolios while funds under management increased during the period.

•

Net interest margin decreased due to compressed deposit margins, partially offset by improved lending margins.

•

Other operating income decreased primarily due to the loss of income as the result of the One Path Life (NZ) divestment in the prior period and fee reduction impacts.

•

Operating expenses increased primarily due to investment spend on compliance projects.

•

Credit impairment charges increased due to an additional collectively assessed credit impairment charge for COVID-19 impacts.

PROFIT RECONCILIATION

Non-IFRS information

The Group provides additional measures of performance in the Consolidated Financial Report & Dividend Announcement which are prepared on a basis other than in accordance with accounting standards. The guidance provided in ASIC’s Regulatory Guide 230 has been followed when presenting this information.

Adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit

Cash profit represents ANZ’s preferred measure of the result of the core business activities of the Group, enabling readers to assess Group and Divisional performance against prior periods and against peer institutions. To calculate cash profit, the Group excludes non-core items from statutory profit (refer to Definitions on pages 139 to 140 for further details). The adjustments made in arriving at cash profit are included in statutory profit which is subject to review within the context of the external auditor’s review of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Cash profit is not subject to review by the external auditor. The external auditor has informed the Audit Committee that cash profit adjustments have been determined on a consistent basis across each period presented.

Revaluation of policy liabilities – OnePath Life (NZ)

When calculating policy liabilities, the projected future cash flows on insurance contracts are discounted to reflect the present value of the obligation, with the impact of changes in the market discount rate each period being reflected in the Income Statement. ANZ includes the impact on the remeasurement of insurance contracts attributable to changes in market discount rates as an adjustment to statutory profit to remove the volatility attributable to changes in market interest rates which revert to zero over the life of insurance contracts. With the sale completion of OnePath Life (NZ) Ltd in the March 2019 half, this adjustment is no longer required.

•

Economic and revenue and expense hedges

The Group enters into economic hedges to manage its interest rate and foreign exchange risk which, in accordance with accounting standards, result in fair value gains and losses being recognised within the Income Statement. ANZ removes the fair value adjustments from cash profit since the profit or loss resulting from the hedge transactions will reverse over time to match with the profit or loss from the economically hedged item as part of cash profit. This includes gains and losses arising from approved classes of derivatives not designated in accounting hedge relationships but which are considered to be economic hedges, including hedges of larger foreign exchange denominated revenue and expense streams, primarily NZD and USD (and USD correlated), as well as ineffectiveness from designated accounting hedges.

Economic hedges comprise:

•

Funding related swaps (primarily cross currency interest rate swaps) used to convert the proceeds of foreign currency debt issuances into floating rate Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar debt. As these swaps do not qualify for hedge accounting, movements in the fair values are recorded in the Income Statement. The main drivers of these fair values are currency basis spreads and Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar fluctuations against other major funding currencies.

•

Economic hedges of select structured finance and specialised leasing transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The main drivers of these fair value adjustments are movements in the Australian and New Zealand term structure of interest rates.

•

Ineffectiveness from designated accounting hedge relationships.

PROFIT RECONCILIATION

In the March 2020 half, the majority of the gain on economic hedges adjusted from cash profit relates to funding related swaps, principally from widening basis spreads on AUD/USD and NZD/USD currency pairs and from the weakening of both the AUD and NZD against USD.

The loss on revenue and expense hedges adjusted from cash profit in the March 2020 half was mainly due to the weakening of AUD against the USD and NZD.

Structured credit intermediation trades

ANZ entered into a series of structured credit intermediation trades prior to the Global Financial Crisis with eight US financial guarantors. This involved selling credit default swaps (CDSs) as protection over specific debt structures and purchasing CDS protection over the same structures. ANZ has subsequently exited its positions with six US financial guarantors and is monitoring the remaining two portfolios with a view to reducing the exposures when ANZ deems it cost effective relative to the perceived risk associated with a specific trade or counterparty.

The notional value of outstanding bought and sold CDSs at 31 March 2020 amounted to $0.4 billion (Sep 19: $0.3 billion; Mar 19: $0.3 billion). While both the bought and sold CDSs are measured at fair value through profit and loss, the associated fair value movements do not fully offset due to the impact of credit risk on the bought CDSs which is driven by market movements in credit spreads and AUD/USD and NZD/USD rates. The fair value of the CDSs (excluding CVA) is $17 million (Sep 19: $19 million; Mar 19: $20 million) with CVA on the bought protection of $0.7 million (Sep 19: $3 million; Mar 19: $4 million).

The profit and loss associated with the bought and sold protection is included as an adjustment to cash profit as it relates to a legacy business where, unless terminated early, the fair value movements are expected to reverse to zero in future periods.

•

Credit risk on impaired derivatives (nil profit after tax impact)

Derivative credit valuation adjustments on defaulted and impaired derivatives exposures are reclassified to cash credit impairment charges to reflect the manner in which the defaulted and impaired derivatives are managed.

Explanation of adjustments between statutory profit and cash profit - discontinued operations

•

Treasury shares adjustment

ANZ shares held by the Group in Wealth Australia discontinued operations are deemed to be Treasury shares for accounting purposes. Dividends and realised and unrealised gains and losses from these shares are reversed as they are not permitted to be recognised as income for statutory reporting purposes. In deriving cash profit, these earnings are included to ensure there is no asymmetrical impact on the Group’s profits because the Treasury shares are held to support policy liabilities which are revalued through the Income Statement. With the sale completion of the life insurance business to Zurich in the September 2019 half, there are no further ANZ shares held by the Group in Wealth Australia discontinued operations (Mar 19: 15.5 million shares).

•

Revaluation of policy liabilities - Wealth Australia discontinued operations

When calculating policy liabilities, the projected future cash flows on insurance contracts are discounted to reflect the present value of the obligation, with the impact of changes in the market discount rate each period being reflected in the Income Statement. ANZ includes the impact on the remeasurement of the insurance contract attributable to changes in market discount rates as an adjustment to statutory profit to remove the volatility attributable to changes in market interest rates which reverts to zero over the life of the insurance contract. With the sale completion of the life insurance business to Zurich in the September 2019 half, this adjustment is no longer required.

•

Policyholders tax gross up (nil profit after tax impact)

For statutory reporting purposes, policyholders income tax and other related taxes paid on behalf of policyholders are included in both other operating income and the Group’s income tax expense. The gross up of $101 million income tax recoveries for the March 2020 half (Sep 19 half: nil; Mar 19 half: $19 million income tax paid) has been excluded from discontinued cash results as it does not reflect the underlying performance of the business which is assessed on a net of policyholders tax basis.

Ms IR Atlas, AO		Director

Ms PJ Dwyer		Director

Result

Further details are contained in Group Results on pages 19 to 46 which forms part of this report, and in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Review of operations

A review of the operations of the Group during the half year and the results of those operations are contained in the Group Results on pages 19 to 46 which forms part of this report.

Lead auditor’s independence declaration

The lead auditor’s independence declaration given under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 (as amended) is set out on page 125 which forms part of this report.

Rounding of amounts

The amounts contained in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been rounded to the nearest million dollars, except where otherwise indicated, as permitted by ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191.

Significant events since balance date

With effect from 2 April 2020, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) amended the conditions of registration for ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (ANZ Bank NZ), a New Zealand subsidiary of ANZ Banking Group Limited (ANZBGL) to (among other things) prohibit ANZ Bank NZ from making distributions other than discretionary payments payable to holders of Additional Tier 1 capital instruments. These amendments were also applied to other locally incorporated banks in New Zealand to further support the stability of the New Zealand banking financial system during this period of economic uncertainty. These requirements prevent ANZ Bank NZ from redeeming its NZ$500 million Capital Notes in May 2020, although it can continue making coupon payments on those Capital Notes. As ANZ Bank NZ has announced that it will not be exercising its option to convert in May 2020, the terms of the Capital Notes provide for their conversion into a variable number of ANZBGL shares in May 2022 subject to certain conditions (refer to note 13). Conversion would result in an increase in the Group’s CET1 capital (~12 bps) at Level 2. The amendments will also prevent ANZ Bank NZ from paying dividends to ANZBGL.

Other than the matter above there have been no other significant events from 31 March 2020 to the date of signing this report that have not been adjusted or disclosed.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

The notes appearing on pages 84 to 120 form an integral part of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Basis of preparation

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

•

have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of Australian Accounting Standards (AASs);

•

should be read in conjunction with ANZ’s Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2019 and any public announcements made by the Parent Entity and its controlled entities (the Group) for the half year ended 31 March 2020 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules;

•

do not include all notes of the type normally included in ANZ’s Annual Financial Report;

•

are presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated; and

•

were approved by the Board of Directors on 29 April 2020.

i)	Statement of Compliance

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 which ensures compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

ii)

Rounding of amounts

iii)

Basis of measurement

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at their fair value:

•

derivative financial instruments as well as, in the case of fair value hedges, the fair value adjustment on the underlying hedged exposure;

•

financial assets and liabilities held for trading;

•

financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss;

•

financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income;

•

assets and liabilities held for sale (except those at carrying value as per Note 12).

In accordance with AASB 1038 Life Insurance Contracts, life insurance liabilities are measured using the Margin on Services model.

In accordance with AASB 119 Employee Benefits, defined benefit obligations are measured using the Projected Unit Credit method.

iv)

Use of estimates, assumptions and judgements

The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires the use of management judgement, estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and the application of accounting policies. Discussion of the critical accounting estimates and judgements, which include complex or subjective decisions or assessments are provided in the 2019 ANZ Annual Financial Report. Such estimates and judgements are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

A brief explanation of the key estimates, assumptions and judgements that have changed during the half year ended 31 March 2020 follows.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the estimation uncertainty in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The estimation uncertainty is associated with:

•

the extent and duration of the disruption to business arising from the actions by governments, businesses and consumers to contain the spread of the virus;

•

the extent and duration of the expected economic downturn (and forecasts for key economic factors including GDP, employment and house prices). This includes the disruption to capital markets, deteriorating credit, liquidity concerns, increasing unemployment, declines in consumer discretionary spending, reductions in production because of decreased demand, and other restructuring activities; and

•

the effectiveness of government and central bank measures that have and will be put in place to support businesses and consumers through this disruption and economic downturn.

The Group has developed various accounting estimates in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on forecasts of economic conditions which reflect expectations and assumptions as at 31 March 2020 about future events that the Directors believe are reasonable in the circumstances. There is a considerable degree of judgement involved in preparing forecasts. The underlying assumptions are also subject to uncertainties which are often outside the control of the Group. Accordingly, actual economic conditions are likely to be different from those forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of those differences may significantly impact accounting estimates included in these financial statements.

The significant accounting estimates impacted by these forecasts and associated uncertainties are predominantly related to expected credit losses, fair value measurement, and recoverable amount assessments of non-financial assets.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on each of these accounting estimates is discussed further below and/or in the relevant note to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Readers should carefully consider these disclosures in light of the inherent uncertainty described above.

Allowance for expected credit losses

The Group measures the allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) using an expected credit loss impairment model as required by AASB 9 Financial Instruments. The Group’s accounting policy for the recognition and measurement of the allowance for expected credit losses is described at Note 13 to ANZ’s Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2019.

Individually assessed allowance for expected credit losses

In estimating individually assessed ECL for Stage 3 exposures, the Group makes judgements and assumptions in relation to expected repayments, the realisable value of collateral, the 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 the potential impact of COVID-19.

Collectively assessed allowance for expected credit losses

During the March 2020 half the collectively assessed allowance for expected credit losses increased by $1,125 million. This was attributable to changes in economic outlook of $1,031 million, foreign exchange of $77 million and changes in portfolio composition and risk of $17 million.

In estimating collectively assessed ECL, the Group makes judgements and assumptions in relation to:

•

the selection of an estimation technique or modelling methodology, noting that the modelling of the Group’s ECL estimates are complex; and

•

the selection of inputs for those models, and the interdependencies between those inputs.

The modelling methodology applied in estimating in ECL in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is consistent with that applied in ANZ’s Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 30 September 2019.

The impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and how governments, businesses and consumers respond is uncertain. This uncertainty is reflected in the Group’s assessment of expected credit losses from its credit portfolio which are subject to a number of management judgements and estimates.

The following table summarises the key judgements and assumptions in relation to the model inputs and the interdependencies between those inputs, and highlights significant changes during the current period.

The judgements and associated assumptions have been made within the context of the impact of COVID-19, and reflect historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In relation to COVID-19, judgements and assumptions include the extent and duration of the pandemic, the impacts of actions of governments and other authorities, and the responses of businesses and consumers in different industries, along with the associated impact on the global economy. Accordingly, the Group’s ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results may differ from these estimates.


Judgement/Assumption	Description	Changes and considerations during the half year ended 31 March 2020

Determining when a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) has occurred	In the measurement of ECL, judgement is involved in setting the rules and trigger points to determine whether there has been a SICR since initial recognition of a loan, which would result in the financial asset moving from ‘stage 1’ to ‘stage 2’. This is a key area of judgement since transition from stage 1 to stage 2 increases the ECL from an allowance based on the probability of default in the next 12 months, to an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. Subsequent decreases in credit risk resulting in transition from stage 2 to stage 1 may similarly result in significant changes in the ECL allowance. The setting of precise trigger points requires judgement which may have a material impact upon the size of the ECL allowance.	Various initiatives, such as payment holidays and deferrals have been offered to customers in this half year recognising the potential detrimental impact of COVID-19. Such offers, if accepted, are not automatically considered to indicate SICR but are used as necessary within the broader set of indicators used to assess and grade customer facilities.

Measuring both 12-month and lifetime credit losses	ECL is a function of the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD) which are point-in-time measures reflecting the relevant forward looking information determined by management. Judgement is involved in determining which forward-looking information variables are relevant for particular lending portfolios and for determining the sensitivity of the parameters to movements in these forward looking variables.	The PD, EAD and LGD models are subject to the Group’s model risk policy that stipulates periodic model monitoring, periodic re-validation and defines approval procedures and authorities according to model materiality. There were no material changes to the policies during the half year ended 31 March 2020.

	In addition, judgement is required where behavioural characteristics are applied in estimating the lifetime of a facility to be used in measuring ECL.	There were no changes to behavioural lifetime estimates during the half year ended 31 March 2020.

Judgement/Assumption	Description	Changes and considerations during the half year ended 31 March 2020
Base case economic forecast	The Group derives a forward looking “base case” economic scenario which reflects ANZ’s view of the most likely future macro-economic conditions.	There have been no changes to the types of forward looking variables (key economic drivers) used as model inputs in the current half year. As at 31 March 2020, the base case assumptions have been updated to reflect the rapidly evolving situation with respect to COVID-19. This includes an assessment of the impact of central bank (monetary policy), governments (wage subsidies), and institution specific responses (such as payment holidays). These are considered in determining the length and severity of the forecast economic downturn. The expected outcomes of key economic drivers for the base case scenario as at 31 March 2020 and those previously used as at 30 September 2019 are described below under the heading “Forecast base case assumptions”.

Probability weighting of each scenario (base case, upside¹, downside¹and severe downside² scenarios)	Probability weighting of each scenario is determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case scenario.	The key consideration for probability weightings in the current period is the continuing impact of COVID-19. In addition to the base case forecast which reflects largely the negative economic consequences of COVID-19, greater weighting has been applied to the downside and severe downside scenarios given the Group’s assessment of downside risks. The assigned probability weightings in Australia, New Zealand and Rest of world are subject to a high degree of inherent uncertainty and therefore the actual outcomes may be significantly different to those projected. The Group considers these weightings in each geography to provide the best estimate of the possible loss outcomes and has analysed inter-relationships and correlations (over both the short and long term) within the Group’s credit portfolios in determining them.

Management temporary adjustments	Management temporary adjustments to the ECL allowance are adjustments used in circumstances where it is judged that our existing inputs, assumptions and model techniques do not capture all the risk factors relevant to our lending portfolios. Emerging local or global macroeconomic, microeconomic or political events, and natural disasters that are not incorporated into our current parameters, risk ratings, or forward-looking information are examples of such circumstances. The use of management temporary adjustments may impact the amount of ECL recognised.	Temporary adjustments have been assessed in the context of COVID-19 and the extent that associated credit loss exposures are captured within the modelled economic scenarios. While changes to temporary adjustment have been made to select industries and portfolios, there has been no material change to the overall temporary adjustments in the March 2020 half.

^1.

The upside and downside scenarios are fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions (that is, they are not based on the economic conditions prevailing at balance date) and are based on a combination of more optimistic (in the case of the upside) and pessimistic (in the case of the downside) economic conditions.

^2.	The severe downside scenario is fixed by reference to average economic cycle conditions and accounts for the potentially severe downside impact of less likely extremely adverse economic conditions.

Base case economic forecast assumptions

The uncertain evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic increases the risk to the forecast resulting in an understatement or overstatement of the ECL balance due to uncertainties around:

•

The extent and duration of measures to stop or reduce the speed of the spread of COVID-19;

•

The extent and duration of the economic down turn, along with the time required for economies to recover; and

•

The effectiveness of government stimulus measures, in particular their impact on the magnitude of economic downturn and the extent and duration of the recovery.

The Group’s base case economic forecast scenarios reflects a sharp deterioration in economic conditions in the second quarter with a gradual improvement thereafter. It reflects a widespread shutdown in the 2nd quarter of calendar 2020 followed thereafter by a progressive relaxation.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The economic drivers of the base case economic forecasts at 31 March 2020 and those that were used at 30 September 2019 are set out below. These reflect ANZ’s view, at the respective reporting dates, of the most likely future macro-economic conditions.



	Base case economic forecast as at 31 March 2020	Base case economic forecast as at 30 September 2019

Australia:

• GDP	Expected contraction in GDP in the 2020 calendar year, with some recovery in 2021. GDP is expected to contract 13% in the June 2020 quarter and to recover thereafter resulting in the 2020 calendar year GDP contracting 4.7% then growing by 4.1% in the 2021 calendar year.	Expected to improve modestly.

• Unemployment rate	Unemployment is expected to increase significantly over the June quarter, recovering gradually over the remainder of 2020 and 2021, but remaining higher than pre COVID- 19 levels. The unemployment rate is expected to reach 13% in the June 2020 quarter before moderate recovery in the September 2020 quarter. It is expected to average 9.0% for calendar year 2020 and 7.3% for calendar year 2021.	Expected to remain essentially flat.

• Residential property values	Property prices are expected to fall progressively by 4.1% in calendar year 2020 (taking into account growth pre COVID-19) and contract a further 6.3% in calendar year 2021.	Expected to improve after a period of decline.

• Consumer price index	CPI growth is forecast to fall moderately in 2020 from 2019 levels, returning to 2019 levels in 2021. CPI growth is forecast at 1.2% for calendar year 2020 and 1.6% for calendar year 2021.	Growth expected to rise from current levels.

New Zealand

ECL - Sensitivity analysis

The uncertainty on the impact of COVID-19 introduced significant estimation uncertainty in relation to the measurement of the Group’s allowance for expected credit losses. The rapidly evolving consequences of COVID-19 and government, business and consumer responses could result in significant adjustments to the allowance within the current and next financial years.

Given current economic uncertainties and the judgment applied to factors used in determining the expected default of borrowers in future periods, expected credit losses reported by the Group should be considered as a best estimate within a range of possible estimates.

The table below illustrates the sensitivity of ECL to key factors used in determining it:

ECL sensitivity - Weightings applied to forecast scenarios


	Total ECL $m		Impact $m

100% upside scenario		1,969		(2,533)
100% base scenario		4,319		(183)

100% downside scenario		5,293		791

100% severe downside scenario		6,472		1,970

Fair Value Measurement of Financial Instruments

The majority of valuation models the Group uses to value financial instruments employ only observable market data as inputs. This has not changed as a result of COVID-19.

For certain financial instruments, we may use data that is not readily observable in current markets where we need to exercise more management judgement to determine fair value depending on the significance of the unobservable input to the overall valuation. Generally, we derive unobservable inputs from other relevant market data and compare them to observed transaction prices where available.

The financial instruments which are subject to valuation using unobservable inputs are disclosed in the Group’s fair value hierarchy in Note 15, and are predominantly equity investment securities where quoted prices in active markets are not available. At 31 March 2020 the Group had $1,296m of assets and $67m of liabilities where the valuation was primarily derived using an unobservable input (Sep 19: $1,272m assets and $52m liabilities; Mar 19: $1,365m assets and $43m liabilities).

The Group has an investment in the Bank of Tianjin (BoT), which at 31 March 2020 has a carrying value of $1,053m (Sep 19: $1,106m; Mar 19: $1,215m). As a result of persistent illiquidity of the quoted share price, the Group determines the fair value based on a valuation model using comparable bank pricing multiples as determined by management. Judgement is required in both the selection of the model and inputs used. Although the comparator group entities operate in the same industry, the nature of their business and local economic conditions may be different from the Group’s investment. Thus where local conditions change, which impact the price-to-book ratio of the comparator group, the fair value of the asset will change proportionately. That is, if the price-to-book ratio changed by 10%, the fair value would change by 10%. As the asset is classified as fair value through other comprehensive income, changes in the fair value are reflected directly in equity.

Investments in associates

At 31 March 2020, the impairment assessment of non-lending assets identified that two of the Group’s associate investments AMMB Holdings Berhad (AmBank) and PT Bank Pan Indonesia (PT Panin) had indicators of impairment; specifically their market value (based on share price) was below their carrying value. The Group performed value in use (VIU) calculations to assess if the carrying value of the investments were impaired.

The VIU calculations are sensitive to a number of key assumptions, including discount rates, long term growth rates, future profitability and capital levels. Changes in key assumptions could have a positive or adverse impact on the recoverable amount of the investment. The key assumptions used in the VIU calculations are outlined below:


	AmBank				PT Panin

	Mar 20		Sep 19		Mar 20		Sep 19

Carrying Value ($m)		1,161		1,586		1,130		1,350

Post-tax discount rate		12.4%		10.7%		13.9%		13.3%

Terminal growth rate		4.9%		4.8%		5.3%		5.3%

Expected NPAT growth (compound annual growth rate - 5 years)		1.0%		4.1%		2.6%		6.5%

Common Equity Tier 1 ratio		11.5%		11.9% to 12.7%		12.3%		11.6%

While the underlying performance of both investments continues to be strong, the assumptions in the VIU were adjusted to reflect reasonable estimates of the impact of COVID-19 and the increased risks associated with the estimated cash flows. Accordingly in performing the VIU calculation as at 31 March 2020 expected NPAT growth estimates were reduced; higher risk weight asset growth estimates were used in the early years and a higher discount rate was used assuming that higher risk premiums would more than offset reductions in risk free rates.

As the adjusted VIU calculations did not support the carrying value of either investment as at 31 March 2020 the Group recorded an impairment charge of $815 million in the March 2020 half with AmBank impaired by $595 million and PT Panin impaired by $220 million. Both investments form part of the TSO and Group Centre operating segment.

The impact of COVID-19 on the valuation of AmBank and PT Panin is uncertain. Significant management judgment is required to determine the assumptions underpinning the VIU calculations. Changes in key assumptions could have a positive or adverse impact on the recoverable amount of the investment.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Customer remediation provision

At 31 March 2020, the Group has recognised provisions of $1,094 million (Sep 19: $1,139 million; Mar 19: $698 million) in respect of customer remediation which includes provisions for expected refunds to customers, remediation project costs and costs associated and related customer and regulatory claims, penalties and litigation outcomes.

Determining the amount of the provisions, which represent management’s best estimate of the cost of settling the identified matters, requires the exercise of significant judgement. It will often be necessary to form a view on a number of different assumptions, including the number of impacted customers, the average refund per customer, associated remediation project costs, and the implications of regulatory exposures and customer claims having regard to their specific facts and circumstances.

Consequently, the appropriateness of the underlying assumptions is reviewed on a regular basis against actual experience and other relevant evidence, including expert legal advice, and adjustments are made to the provisions where appropriate.

Other provisions

The Group holds provisions for various obligations including restructuring costs and surplus lease space, non-lending losses, fraud and forgeries and litigation related claims. These provisions involve judgements regarding the timing and outcome of future events, including estimates of expenditure required to satisfy such obligations. The appropriateness of the underlying assumptions is reviewed on a regular basis against actual experience and other relevant evidence, including expert legal advice, and adjustments are made to the provisions where appropriate.

Useful lives of software

Management judgement is used to assess the useful life of software assets. A number of factors can influence the useful lives of software assets, including changes to business strategy, significant divestments and the pace of technological change.

The Group reassess the useful lives of software assets on a semi-annual basis.

v)	Accounting policies

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies and using methods of computation consistent with those applied in the 2019 ANZ Annual Financial Report with the exception of policies associated with new standards adopted during the period as discussed below.

Discontinued operations are separately presented from the results of the continuing operations as a single line item ‘profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations’ in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement have been presented on a continuing basis. Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations have been presented as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2020.

Accounting standards adopted during the period

AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16)

AASB 16 became effective for the Group from 1 October 2019 and replaced the previous standard AASB 117 Leases (AASB 117). AASB 16 primarily impacts the Group’s property and technology leases which were previously classified as operating leases. Under AASB 117, operating leases were not recognised on balance sheet and rent payments were expensed over the lease term.

Under AASB 16, the Group recognises all leases (except for leases of low value assets and short term leases) on balance sheet under a single accounting model. Accordingly, the Group recognises its right to use an underlying leased asset over the lease term as a right-of-use (ROU) asset, and its obligation to make lease payments as a lease liability. In the income statement, the Group recognises depreciation expense on the ROU asset and interest expense on the lease liability. As a result, lease expenses will be higher in the early periods of a lease and lower in the later periods of the lease compared to the previous standard where expenses were constant over the lease term. Cumulative expenses over the life of a lease will not change.

As permitted by the standard, the Group does not recognise ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases of low value items and short term leases (less than 12 months). Instead, the lease payments associated with these leases are recognised as operating expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group has applied the modified retrospective transition approach whereby initial lease liabilities are recognised based on the present value of remaining lease payments as of the transition date. The initial ROU asset recognised for certain large commercial and retail leases was measured as if AASB 16 had always been applied to the leases. For all other leases, the initial ROU asset was measured as equal to the initial lease liability.

The implementation of AASB 16 requires management to make certain key judgements including the determination of lease terms, discount rates and identifying arrangements that contain a lease.

Based on the modified retrospective transition approach, the Group recognised lease liabilities of $1.7 billion presented within Payables and other liabilities and right-of-use assets of $1.6 billion presented within Property Plant and Equipment. This resulted in a reduction to opening retained earnings of $88 million and an increase in deferred tax assets of $37 million as of 1 October 2019. Comparatives have not been restated.

In addition, the Group elected to apply the following practical expedients as permitted under the modified retrospective transition approach:

a)	Impairment of ROU assets at the transition date were assessed by relying on onerous lease provisions previously recognised as of 30 September 2019 under AASB 117;

b)	Initial direct costs associated with entering leases prior to the transition date were excluded from the carrying value of ROU assets recognised at transition;

c)	No ROU assets or lease liabilities were recognised for certain leases with less than 12 months remaining as of the transition date; these leases were treated as short-term leases with all lease payments recognised in rent expense as incurred; and

d)	Hindsight was used to determine the lease term of contracts that contained options to extend the lease.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following table reconciles the operating lease commitments disclosed under AASB 117 as at 30 September 2019 to the opening lease liabilities recognised under AASB 16 as at 1 October 2019.

Other Income in relation to subleases		12

The Group’s accounting policies with respect to lease arrangements where it acts as lessor have not changed under AASB 16 except where the Group subleases certain leased properties. Where the Group acts as intermediate lessor, it classifies the sublease as either a finance lease or operating lease by reference to the ROU asset of the head lease. Income from operating subleases is recognised in Other Operating Income in the Income Statement.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

Background

Interbank offered rates (IBORs), such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), play a critical role in global financial markets, serving as reference rates for derivatives, loans and securities, and as parameters in the valuation of financial instruments.

Uncertainty surrounding the integrity of IBOR rates has in recent years, led regulators, central banks and market participants to work towards a transition to alternative risk-free benchmark reference rates (RFR’s) and market-led working groups in respective jurisdictions have recommended alternative risk-free reference rates, which are gradually being adopted. Progress in the transition to these new benchmarks has resulted in significant uncertainty in the future of IBOR benchmarks beyond 1 January 2022.

Accounting amendments

In response to the uncertainty about the long-term viability of these benchmark rates, and LIBOR in particular, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has established a project to consider the financial reporting implications of the reform. The transition from LIBOR is expected to have an impact on various elements of financial instrument accounting, including hedge accounting, as well as fair value methodologies and disclosures.

In October 2019, the AASB issued AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform, which amends certain existing hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the interest rate benchmark reform. The Group elected to early adopt the amendments from 1 October 2019 which have not had a significant impact on the Group.

These amendments address the accounting effects of uncertainty in the period leading up to the reform arising from the Group’s ability to satisfy the existing prospective hedge effectiveness requirements of AASB 139. This uncertainty arises as it is not known when the hedged items (such as debt issuances) and associated hedging instruments (such as interest rate swaps) will be changed to reference the RFR’s, or if both the hedging item and the associated hedging instrument will move to the new rates at the same time. The Group has applied this amendment to all hedge accounted relationships (cash flow or fair value hedges) where the reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing or amount of IBOR based cash flows of the hedged item or hedging instrument.

The IASB has commenced working on Phase 2 of its IBOR Reform project, which focuses on potential issues that might affect financial reporting once the existing rate is replaced with an alternative rate. The Group is monitoring these developments and continues to assess the expected financial impact.

Impact of IBOR reform

The Group has exposure to IBOR through its issuance of debt, the structural interest rate risk position, holdings of investment securities; products denominated in foreign currencies and associated hedging activities in our treasury and markets businesses within TSO and Group Centre and Institutional divisions respectively.

The Group has established an enterprise-wide Benchmark Transition Program to manage the transition. The program includes the assessment and actions necessary to accommodate the transition to RFR’s as they apply to internal processes and systems including pricing, risk management, documentation and hedge arrangements. The program includes management of the impact on customers.

Impact of IBOR reform on the Group’s hedging relationships

The most significant interest rate benchmarks to which the Group’s hedging relationships are exposed to are USD LIBOR, Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor), Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW) and Bank Bill Market (BKBM).

Of these benchmarks the Group expects BBSW, BKBM and EURIBOR to exist as benchmark rates for the foreseeable future and therefore does not believe its BBSW, BKBM or EURIBOR benchmark fair value or cash flow hedges to be directly impacted by IBOR reform.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The table below details the carrying values of the Group’s exposures designated in hedge accounting relationships that will be impacted by IBOR reform, principally USD Libor. The nominal value of the associated hedging instruments are also included:

Future accounting developments

AASB 9 - General hedge accounting

AASB 9 introduces new hedge accounting requirements which more closely align accounting with risk management activities undertaken when hedging financial and non-financial risks.

AASB 9 provides the Group with an accounting policy choice to continue to apply AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (AASB 139) hedge accounting requirements until the International Accounting Standards Board’s ongoing project on macro hedge accounting is completed. The Group currently applies the hedge accounting requirements of AASB 139.

The successor fund transfer performed in preparation for the sale of the Group’s wealth businesses to Zurich and IOOF was completed on 13 April 2019. Post this date, treasury shares held in Wealth Australia discontinued operations ceased to be eliminated in the Group’s consolidated financial statements and are included in the denominator used in calculating earnings per share. If the weighted average number of treasury shares held in Wealth Australia discontinued operations was included in the denominator used in calculating earnings per share from continuing operations in the comparative periods, basic earnings per share from continuing operations for the September 2019 half and March 2019 half would have been 107.9 cents and 113.5 cents respectively and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the September 2019 half and March 2019 half would have been 103.5 cents and 108.1 cents respectively.

Assets and liabilities held for sale

At 31 March 2020, there were no assets and liabilities held for sale.

In the prior periods assets and liabilities held for sale included the assets and liabilities associated with the Group’s discontinued operations as well as the assets and liabilities of other assets or disposal groups, subject to sale, which do not meet the criteria to classify as a discontinued operation under the accounting standards. The assets and liabilities held for sale were re-measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement and continue to be recognised at their carrying value upon reclassification to held for sale.

Credit risk

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 group would have to pay if the instrument is called upon.

The table below shows the 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:

Credit Quality

The Group’s internal Customer Credit Rating (CCR) is used to manage the credit quality of financial assets. To enable wider comparisons, the Group’s CCRs are mapped to external rating agency scales as follows:


Credit Quality Description	Internal CCR	ANZ Customer Requirement	Moody’s Rating	Standard & Poor’s Rating

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

Defaulted	CCR8- to 10	When doubt arises as to the collectability of a credit facility, the financial instrument (or ‘the facility’) is classified as defaulted.	N/A	N/A

Fair value measurement

The Group carries a significant number of financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. In addition, in the prior period, the Group also held assets classified as held for sale which were measured at fair value less costs to sell. The 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.

i)	Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on the balance sheet

a)	Valuation

The Group has an established control framework, including appropriate segregation of duties, to ensure that fair values are accurately determined, reported and controlled. The framework includes the following features:

•

products are approved for transacting with external customers and counterparties only where fair values can be appropriately determined;

•

when using quoted prices to value an instrument, these are independently verified from external pricing providers;

•

fair value methodologies and inputs are evaluated and approved by a function independent of the party that undertakes the transaction;

•

movements in fair values are independently monitored and explained by reference to underlying factors relevant to the fair value; and

•

valuation adjustments (such as funding valuation adjustments, credit valuation adjustments and bid-offer adjustments) are independently validated and monitored.

If the Group holds offsetting risk positions, then the Group uses the portfolio exception in AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (AASB 13) to measure the fair value of such groups of financial assets and financial liabilities. We measure 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.

b) 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 for that asset or liability exists. This includes the following:


Asset or Liability		Fair Value Approach
Financial instruments classified as: - trading securities - securities sold short - derivative financial assets and liabilities - investment securities - other assets		Valuation techniques are used that incorporate observable market inputs for securities with similar credit risk, maturity and yield characteristics. Equity instruments that are not traded in active markets may be measured using comparable company valuation multiples.
Financial instruments classified as: - net loans and advances - deposits and other borrowings - debt issuances		Discounted cash flow techniques are used whereby contractual future cash flows of the instrument are discounted using discount rates incorporating wholesale market interest rates, or market borrowing rates for debt with similar maturities or with a yield curve appropriate for the remaining term to maturity.
Assets and liabilities held for sale		Valuation based on the agreed sale price before transaction costs.

Details of significant unobservable inputs used in measuring fair values are described in (ii)(a).

c)	Fair value hierarchy categorisation

The Group categorises financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value into a fair value hierarchy as required by AASB 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.

d)	Fair value hierarchy disclosure

The following table presents assets and liabilities carried at fair value:

Details of fair value measurements that incorporate unobservable market data

a)	Level 3 fair value measurements

The net balance of Level 3 financial instruments is an asset of $1,229 million (Sep 19: $1,220 million; Mar 19: $1,322 million). The assets and liabilities which incorporate significant unobservable inputs primarily include:

•

equities for which there is no active market or traded prices cannot be observed;

•

structured credit products for which credit spreads and default probabilities relating to the reference assets and derivative counterparties cannot be observed; and

•

other derivatives referencing market rates that cannot be observed primarily due to lack of market activity.

Movements in the Level 3 balance are due to the revaluation of the Group’s investment in Bank of Tianjin.

There were no material transfers into or out of Level 3 during the period.

Bank of Tianjin (BoT)

The investment is valued based on comparative price-to-book (P/B) multiples (a P/B multiple is the ratio of the market value of equity to the book value of equity). The extent of judgment applied in determining the appropriate multiple and comparator group from which the multiple is derived are non-observable inputs which have resulted in the Level 3 classification.

b)	Sensitivity to Level 3 data inputs

When we make assumptions due to significant inputs not being directly observable in the market place (Level 3 inputs), then changing these assumptions changes the Group’s estimate of the instrument’s fair value. Favourable and unfavourable changes are determined by changing the primary unobservable parameter used in deriving the valuation.

Bank of Tianjin (BoT)

The valuation of the BoT investment is sensitive to the selected unobservable input, being the P/B multiple. If the P/B multiple was increased or decreased by 10% it would result in a $105 million increase or decrease to the fair value of the investment (Sep 19: $111 million; Mar 19: $121million), which would be recognised in shareholders’ equity.

Other

The remaining Level 3 balance is immaterial and changes in the Level 3 inputs have a minimal impact on net profit and net assets of the Group.

c)	Deferred fair value gains and losses

When fair values are determined using unobservable inputs significant to the fair value of a financial instrument, the Group does not immediately recognise the difference between the transaction price and the amount we determine based on the valuation technique (referred to as the day one gain or loss) in profit or loss. After initial recognition, we recognise the deferred amount in profit or loss over the life of the transaction on a straight line basis or until all inputs become observable.

The day one gains and losses deferred are immaterial.

Financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value

The classes of financial assets and liabilities listed in the table below are predominately carried at amortised cost on the Group’s balance sheet. Whilst this is the value at which we expect the assets will be realised and the liabilities settled, the Group provides an estimate of the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities at balance date in the table below, presenting the fair value of the entire class of financial assets and financial liabilities.

19. Related

party disclosure

There have been no transactions with related parties that are significant to understanding the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since 30 September 2019.

20. Contingent

liabilities and contingent assets

There are outstanding court proceedings, claims and possible claims for and against the Group. Where relevant, expert legal advice has been obtained and, in the light of such advice, provisions (refer to Note 11) 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 the interests of the Group.

Refer to Note 33 of the 2019 ANZ Annual Financial Report for a description of contingent liabilities and contingent assets as at 30 September 2019. A summary of some of those contingent liabilities, and new contingent liabilities that have arisen in the current reporting period, is set out below.

•

Regulatory and customer exposures

In recent years there has been an increase in the number of matters on which the Group engages with its regulators. There have also been significant increases in the nature and scale of regulatory investigations and reviews, civil and criminal enforcement actions (whether by court action or otherwise), formal and informal inquiries, regulatory supervisory activities and the quantum of fines issued by regulators, particularly against financial institutions both in Australia and globally. The Group has received various notices and requests for information from its regulators as part of both industry-wide and Group-specific reviews and has also made disclosures to its regulators at its own instigation. The nature of these interactions can be wide ranging and, for example, currently include a range of matters including 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, reporting and disclosure obligations and product disclosure documentation. There may be exposures to customers which are additional to any regulatory exposures. These could include class actions, individual claims or customer remediation or compensation activities. The outcomes and total costs associated with such reviews and possible exposures remain uncertain.

•

Bank fees litigation and periodical payment remediation and ASIC action

A litigation funder commenced a class action against the Company in 2010, followed by a second similar class action in March 2013. The applicants contended that certain exception fees (honour, dishonour and non-payment fees on transaction accounts and late payment and over-limit fees on credit cards) were unenforceable penalties and that various of the fees were also unenforceable under statutory provisions governing unconscionable conduct, unfair contract terms and unjust transactions. The claims in the March 2013 class action failed and have been dismissed.

The original claims in the 2010 class action have been dismissed. In 2017, a new claim was added to the 2010 class action, in relation to the Company’s entitlement to charge certain periodical payment non-payment fees. Part of the class of customers had already received remediation payments from the Company. An agreement to settle the claim was reached in December 2018. The settlement was approved by the court in December 2019.

In July 2019, ASIC commenced civil penalty proceedings against the Company in relation to the charging of fees for periodical payments in certain circumstances between August 2003 and February 2016. ASIC seeks civil penalties in respect of alleged false or misleading representations and unconscionable conduct. ASIC also alleges that the Company engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct and breached certain statutory obligations as a financial services licensee. The trial of the matter is scheduled to commence on 14 September 2020. The outcomes and total costs remain uncertain. The Company is defending the allegations.

Benchmark/rate actions

In July and August 2016, class action complaints were brought in the United States District Court against local and international banks, including the Company – one action relating to the bank bill swap rate (BBSW), and one action relating to the Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) and the Singapore Swap Offer Rate (SOR). The class actions are expressed to apply to persons and entities that engaged in US-based transactions in financial instruments that were priced, benchmarked, and/or settled based on BBSW or SIBOR. The claimants seek damages or compensation in amounts not specified, and allege that the defendant banks, including the Company, violated US anti-trust laws and (in the BBSW case only) anti- racketeering laws, the Commodity Exchange Act, and unjust enrichment principles. The Company is defending the proceedings. The matters are at an early stage.

In February 2017, the South African Competition Commission commenced proceedings against local and international banks including the Company alleging breaches of the cartel provisions of the South African Competition Act in respect of trading in the South African rand. The potential civil penalty or other financial impact is uncertain. The matter is at an early stage.

•

Capital raising actions

In June 2018, the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions commenced criminal proceedings against the Company and a senior employee alleging that they were knowingly concerned in cartel conduct by the joint lead managers of the Company’s August 2015 underwritten institutional equity placement of approximately 80.8 million ordinary shares. The matter is at an early stage. The Company and its senior employee are defending the allegations.

In September 2018, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) commenced civil penalty proceedings against the Company alleging failure to comply with continuous disclosure obligations in connection with the Company’s August 2015 underwritten institutional equity placement. ASIC alleges the Company should have advised the market that the joint lead managers took up approximately 25.5 million ordinary shares of the placement. The matter is at an early stage. The Company is defending the allegations.

•

Consumer credit insurance litigation

In February 2020, a class action was brought against the Company alleging breaches of financial advice obligations, misleading or deceptive conduct and unconscionable conduct in relation to the distribution of consumer credit insurance products. The issuers of the insurance products, QBE and OnePath Life, are also defendants to the claim. The Company is defending the allegations. The matter is at an early stage.

•

Franchisee litigation

In February 2018, two related class actions were brought against the Company alleging breaches of contract and unconscionable conduct in relation to lending to 7-Eleven franchisees. An agreement to settle the claims against the Company was reached in March 2019. The settlement is subject to court approval.

•

Royal Commission

The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry released its final report on 4 February 2019. The findings and recommendations of the Commission are resulting in additional costs and may lead to further exposures, including exposures associated with further regulator activity or potential customer exposures such as class actions, individual claims or customer remediation or compensation activities. The outcomes and total costs associated with these possible exposures remain uncertain.

•

Security recovery actions

Various claims have been made or are anticipated, arising from security recovery actions taken to resolve impaired assets. These claims will be defended.

•

Warranties and Indemnities

The Group has provided warranties, indemnities and other commitments in favour of the purchaser and other persons in connection with various disposals of businesses and assets and other transactions, covering a range of matters and risks. It is exposed to claims under those warranties, indemnities and commitments.

21. Significant

AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT AND INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

LOGO

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the shareholders of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited

Report on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (the Group).

The Group comprises Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled at the half year’s end or from time to time during the half year.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements comprise:

•

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2020;

•

The condensed consolidated income statement, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, and condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the half year ended on that date;

•

Notes 1 to 21 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information; and

•

The Directors’ Declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited are not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

i)	giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 March 2020 and of its performance for the half year ended on that date; and

ii)	complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 1 (iv) in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which describes increased estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, specifically as it relates to the potential impacts of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on the Group’s expected credit losses (ECL). These disclosures include key judgements and assumptions in relation to the ECL model inputs and the interdependencies between those inputs, and highlight significant changes made during the half year ended 31 March 2020.

As described in Note 1(iv) the underlying forecasts and assumptions are subject to uncertainties which are often outside the control of the Group. Actual economic conditions are likely to be different from those forecast since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected, and the effect of those differences may significantly impact the resulting accounting estimates.

In our view, this issue is fundamental to the users’ understanding of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the financial position and performance of the Group.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Directors of the Company are responsible for:

•

the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; and

•

such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 March 2020 and its performance for the half year ended on that date, and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As auditor of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards 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.

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are contracts whose value is derived from one or more underlying variables or indices defined in the contract, require little or no initial net investment and are settled at a future date. Derivatives include contracts traded on registered exchanges and contracts agreed between counterparties. The use of derivatives and their sale to customers as risk management products is an integral part of the Group’s trading and sales activities. Derivatives are also used to manage the Group’s own exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates as part of its asset and liability management activities.

The following table provides an overview of the Group’s foreign exchange, interest rate, commodity and credit derivatives. They include all trading and balance sheet risk management contracts. The derivative instruments become favourable (assets) or unfavourable (liabilities) as a result of fluctuations in market rates relative to the terms of the derivative.

DEFINITIONS

AASB - Australian Accounting Standards Board. The term “AASB” is commonly used when identifying Australian Accounting Standards issued by the AASB.

ANZEST – ANZ Employee Share Trust.

APRA - Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.

APS - ADI Prudential Standard.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise coins, notes, money at call, balances held with central banks, liquid settlement balances (readily convertible to known amounts of cash which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value) and securities purchased under agreements to resell (reverse repos) in less than three months.

Cash profit is an additional measure of profit which is prepared on a basis other than in accordance with accounting standards. Cash profit represents ANZ’s preferred measure of the result of the core business activities of the Group, enabling readers to assess Group and Divisional performance against prior periods and against peer institutions. To calculate cash profit, the Group excludes non-core items from statutory profit as noted below. These items are calculated consistently period on period so as not to discriminate between positive and negative adjustments.

Gains and losses are adjusted where they are significant, or have the potential to be significant in any one period, and fall into one of three categories:

gains or losses included in earnings arising from changes in tax, legal or accounting legislation or other non-core items not associated with the core operations of the Group;

treasury shares, revaluation of policy liabilities, economic hedging impacts and similar accounting items that represent timing differences that will reverse through earnings in the future; and

accounting reclassifications between individual line items that do not impact reported results, such as policyholders tax gross up.

Cash profit is not a measure of cash flow or profit determined on a cash accounting basis.

Collectively assessed allowance for expected credit loss represents the Expected Credit Loss (ECL). This incorporates forward looking information and does not require an actual loss event to have occurred for an impairment provision to be recognised.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness caused by a new virus and declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. COVID-19 was characterised as a pandemic by the World Health Organisation on 11 March 2020.

Covered bonds are bonds issued by an ADI to external investors secured against a pool of the ADI’s assets (the cover pool) assigned to a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. The primary assets forming the cover pool are mortgage loans. The mortgages remain on the issuer’s balance sheet. The covered bond holders have dual recourse to the issuer and the cover pool assets. The mortgages included in the cover pool cannot be otherwise pledged or disposed of but may be repurchased and substituted in order to maintain the credit quality of the pool. The Group issues covered bonds as part of its funding activities.

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss resulting from the failure of ANZ’s customers and counterparties to honour or perform fully the terms of a loan or contract.

Credit risk weighted assets (CRWA) represent assets which are weighted for credit risk according to a set formula as prescribed in APS 112/113.

Customer deposits represent term deposits, other deposits bearing interest, deposits not bearing interest and borrowing corporations’ debt excluding securitisation deposits.

Customer remediation includes provisions for expected refunds to customers, remediation project costs and related customer and regulatory claims, penalties and litigation outcomes.

Derivative credit valuation adjustment (CVA) - Over the life of a derivative instrument, ANZ uses a model to adjust fair value to take into account the impact of counterparty credit quality. The methodology calculates the present value of expected losses over the life of the financial instrument as a function of probability of default, loss given default, expected credit risk exposure and an asset correlation factor. Impaired derivatives are also subject to a CVA.

Dividend payout ratio is the total ordinary dividend payment divided by profit attributable to shareholders of the Company.

Gross loans and advances (GLA) is made up of loans and advances, capitalised brokerage/mortgage origination fees less unearned income.

Impaired assets are those financial assets where doubt exists as to whether the full contractual amount will be received in a timely manner, or where concessional terms have been provided because of the financial difficulties of the customer. Financial assets are impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of a loss event that occurred prior to the reporting date, and that loss event has had an impact, which can be reliably estimated, on the expected future cash flows of the individual asset or portfolio of assets.

Impaired loans comprise drawn facilities where the customer’s status is defined as impaired.

Individually assessed allowance for expected credit losses is assessed on a case-by-case basis for all individually managed impaired assets taking into consideration factors such as the realisable value of security (or other credit mitigants), the likely return available upon liquidation or bankruptcy, legal uncertainties, estimated costs involved in recovery, the market price of the exposure in secondary markets and the amount and timing of expected receipts and recoveries.

Interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) relates to the potential adverse impact of changes in market interest rates on ANZ’s future net interest income. The risk generally arises from:

Repricing and yield curve risk - the risk to earnings or market value as a result of changes in the overall level of interest rates and/or the relativity of these rates across the yield curve;

Basis risk - the risk to earnings or market value arising from volatility in the interest margin applicable to banking book items; and

Optionality risk - the risk to earnings or market value arising from the existence of stand-alone or embedded options in banking book items.

Internationally comparable ratios are ANZ’s interpretation of the regulations documented in the Basel Committee publications: “Basel 3: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems” (June 2011) and “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards” (June 2006). They also include differences identified in APRA’s information paper entitled International Capital Comparison Study (13 July 2015).

Level 1 in the context of APRA supervision, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited consolidated with certain approved subsidiaries.

Level 2 in the context of APRA supervision, the consolidated ANZ Group excluding associates, insurance and funds management entities, commercial non-financial entities and certain securitisation vehicles.

DEFINITIONS

Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets.

Net loans and advances represent gross loans and advances less allowance for credit losses.

Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is the ratio of the amount of available stable funding (ASF) to the amount of required stable funding (RSF) defined by APRA. The amount of ASF is the portion of an Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADI) capital and liabilities expected to be a reliable source of funds over a one year time horizon. The amount of RSF is a function of the liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of an ADI’s assets and off-balance sheet activities. ADIs must maintain an NSFR of at least 100%.

Net tangible assets equal share capital and reserves attributable to shareholders of the Company less unamortised intangible assets (including goodwill and software).

Regulatory deposits are mandatory reserve deposits lodged with local central banks in accordance with statutory requirements.

Restructured items comprise facilities in which the original contractual terms have been modified for reasons related to the financial difficulties of the customer. Restructuring may consist of reduction of interest, principal or other payments legally due, or an extension in maturity materially beyond those typically offered to new facilities with similar risk.

Return on average assets is the profit attributable to shareholders of the Company, divided by average total assets.

Return on average ordinary shareholders’ equity is the profit attributable to shareholders of the Company, divided by average ordinary shareholders’ equity.

Risk weighted assets (RWA) are risk weighted according to each asset’s inherent potential for default and what the likely losses would be in the case of default. In the case of non asset backed risks (i.e. market and operational risk), RWA is determined by multiplying the capital requirements for those risks by 12.5.

Settlement balances owed to/by ANZ represent financial assets and/or liabilities which are in the course of being settled. These may include trade dated assets and liabilities, vostro accounts and securities settlement accounts.
