Overview of financial performance

 

CEO commentary

ANZ Chief Executive Officer Nuno Matos said: “Today’s results highlight three things. First, our franchise has a strong competitive position. We have two scale markets, Australia and New Zealand, two market leading positions, our Institutional and New Zealand businesses, and a well-diversified business benefitting from our strong presence in Asia, the fastest growing economic region in the world.

“Second, we have a significant opportunity to improve our performance in Australia Retail and Business & Private Bank, while extending our leadership in Institutional and New Zealand.

“Third, ANZ 2030 is the right strategy to capture these opportunities.

“Our full year statutory profit of $5.89 billion was down 10% on the previous year’s performance, impacted by significant items of $1.1 billion as we resolved long-standing regulatory investigations, and actions taken to simplify our business. While our financial performance held steady when excluding these items, our performance as a business reinforces the importance of our ANZ 2030 strategy.

“Looking at our four main divisions, Institutional and New Zealand have performed consistently well, however Australia Retail and Business & Private Bank have underperformed. Despite growth in both assets and deposits, intense competition and a falling interest rate environment impacted margins.

“We have maintained a strong focus on the fundamentals of our balance sheet, capital, provisioning, and the composition of our business. A final dividend of 83 cents per share reflects the underlying financial performance of the business and our confidence in our strategy.

“We continue to make progress on our immediate priorities at pace, including embedding our leadership team and our culture reset, accelerating the integration of Suncorp Bank, delivering the ANZ Plus single-customer front-end, simplifying the bank and reducing duplication, and improving non-financial risk management.

“Our strong capital position enables us to deliver on our immediate priorities to ensure we get the basics right, including a substantial improvement in productivity and initial investment for the bank’s growth.

“Uplifting our non-financial risk management is a key priority. A significant amount of work is already underway to support the business and cultural transformation which will deliver a better-run bank for our customers. The Root Cause Remediation Plan we submitted to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has now been approved.

“Today we also provide an updated approach to our reporting, including providing transparency around our key performance indicators and a more detailed scorecard. We are committed to providing these details on an ongoing basis, as we demonstrate our commitment to our strategy and ambitions.

“The results we have announced today demonstrate our franchise is strong, but action is needed. We are absolutely committed to executing ANZ 2030 and are on the right path. As we deliver our strategy, we will accelerate growth and outperform the market, while delivering more for our customers,” Mr Matos concluded.

Credit quality

The total credit impairment charge for the full year was $441 million, comprising:

  • a collectively assessed provision (CP) charge of $114 million; and
  • an individually assessed provision (IP) charge of $327 million.

Overall credit quality has remained sound, with a modest increase in individual provisions over the half, primarily driven by lower write-backs and recoveries.

The resulting collective provision balance post foreign exchange movements was $4.38 billion, with the collective provision coverage rate[1] increasing 5 basis points to 1.18% over the half.

Dividend & capital

ANZ Bank Group’s capital position continues to remain strong, with a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 12.03% which is an increase of 25 basis points over the half.

The Board has proposed a 2025 Final Dividend of 83 cents per share, partially franked at 70%, which remains unchanged from the first half.

As ANZ previously announced:

  • a 1.5% discount has been applied to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan for the 2025 Final Dividend; and
  • ANZ ceased its remaining ~$800 million of its on-market share buy-back and will return surplus capital of ~$1 billion from its Non-Operating Holding Company to the Bank. Inclusive of this capital our proforma CET1 ratio is 12.26%.
