We maintained market share with solid profitability underpinned by both investing in capability and careful cost management. Despite a backdrop of economic uncertainty, the pandemic and flooding in our local communities, we were with our customers every step of the way. We are continuing to simplify our products and services, with a focus on meeting our customers’ needs. We have built a culture that continually innovates to create value for customers, shareholders and partners. As stewards of the bank, we have continued to build a sustainable business and during this year we have made significant progress with our sustainability strategy, which is detailed on page 20 of this report. Customers We believe our business continues to succeed because we place our customers at the heart of everything we do and this is reflected in our commitment to deliver anywhere banking via face-to-face, Customer Hub and digital experiences. The use of technology to support the customer experience continues to be a crucial area of focus of our digital strategy. Digital capabilities delivered during this year include: > an improved digital experience through internet banking and mobile app > faster time-to-yes and turnaround through improvements to our loan approval processes > enhanced cybersecurity and protection of customer data > use of robotic processes to enhance customer service. Our broker network continues to represent an important distribution channel and is one of our most significant growth opportunities. We have continued to build our broker capability with investment to improve both the broker and customer experience. Our broker relationship managers focus on building a strong rapport with brokers and aggregators, which we believe differentiates us from many of our bigger competitors. Our Private Bank supports the significant demand for a high-quality offering for high-net-worth customers. Growth in Private Bank has been achieved by delivering bespoke lending and deposit solutions to targeted clients, quick loan turnaround times and building enduring relationships. Financial Customer numbers, total loan volumes and retail deposits grew during the year, against the backdrop of ongoing COVID-19 disruptions and labour cost increases. We are pleased to report a strong result with growth across a number of key financial metrics. > Auswide Bank recorded a Net Profit after Tax (NPAT) of $26.132m, an increase of 8.2% on the previous year, despite an increase in funding costs and strategic investments. > Loan volumes were strong and our home loan portfolio grew above system, which resulted in a 7.3% increase in the loan book from $3.593b to $3.855b. Private Bank, brokers, fixed rate products and the enhancements to our broker offering all underpinned this growth. > Customer deposits grew by $126 million to reach $3.059b at year’s end, an increase of 4.3%. This deposit growth will provide funding for asset growth and repayment of the RBA funding facility for Q4 of FY23. > Mortgage loan arrears greater than 30 days sat at just 0.18% at 30 June 2022, which is a historically low rate for the bank. > Our Net Interest Margin (NIM) for the year was 1.94%, which enabled the bank to earn $82.0m in net interest income for the financial year. Whilst there was a reduction of 6bps in the NIM, this compares favourably to the NIM reductions of our peers. > The Cost to Income Ratio was 61.1%, which reflects a marginal increase of 1.0%. This was a result of the increased investment in our digital and mortgage growth strategy, which is in line with the bank’s strategic focus. > Funding from customer deposits through our branches, deposit partnerships and online capabilities represented 73.2% of total funding. This has allowed us to transform our funding mix and reduce our reliance on more expensive 11 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 funding lines, such as securitisation, which represented 8.8% of funding in June 2022, compared 19.7% in June 2018. > Our strong capital position has been maintained with a capital adequacy ratio of 12.90% and CET1 of 10.63%. The result is expected to support above system loan book growth in H1 of FY23. The capital position remains comfortably more than the board’s target and exceeds APRA’s ‘unquestionably strong’ minimums. Lending > participation in FHLDS, supporting home ownership in a younger customer demographic > providing an efficient end-to-end home loan process. Dividend Strong growth and profit improvement allowed the board to declare a fully franked final dividend of 21.0 cents per share, bringing the total dividend for the financial year to 42.0 cents per share. Scale not the advantage it once was Despite an increasingly competitive home lending environment, we achieved strong lending growth throughout FY22. Scale can provide a competitive advantage, but it can also create system, customer service and structural challenges. Our continued efforts in building our broker network and targeting high-net-worth customers has allowed us to achieve record high home loan settlements of $1.065b, an increase of 10.9% on FY21. Loan approvals increased 10.3% and for the second year we exceeded $1b despite a highly competitive market. We continue to invest in our capacity to grow our loan book by: > Private Bank and brokers diversifying our geographic footprint outside Queensland We believe it’s the small things that set us apart and make a big difference for our customers and communities. Being small and nimble allows us the ability to quickly seize opportunities. Technology is now providing new distribution opportunities and our size means we are agile and can quickly access and integrate technology solutions at a much lower cost than bigger rivals. We have access to capital and funding that will continue to support our growth ambitions. 12 Auswide Bank The year ahead Our priorities for next year are clear: > continue to improve our home and consumer lending capability to support profitable growth > enhance our response to the growing risk to cybersecurity and further protect our customers from the risk of increasingly sophisticated scams and fraud > define and deliver on our digital transformation roadmap to meet our customers’ changing banking needs > continue to comply with all regulatory requirements > responsibly grow our customer base and assets > embed our sustainability strategy into our business. We are supporting our priorities through a combination of organic growth, partnerships, acquisitions and other collaboration opportunities. Acknowledgments Our results are the outcome of the incredible hard work from our team, who throughout the year have shown flexibility, strength and determination. We are proud of their dedication and the way they have faced each challenge, while continuing to support our customers. We would like to thank them for their contribution. To our fellow Directors, thank you for your commitment and contribution over the past 12 months. To our shareholders, customers, and partners, thank you for allowing us to stand with you and for your continued support. We appreciate being on this exciting journey together.

We understand the decisions and actions we take today play a critical role in creating a more sustainable future. The drivers of our approach are: > placing customers at the heart of everything we do > serving our customers by supporting the communities they live in > seeking greater sustainability that meets our responsibilities to our community. Building upon the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) sustainability focus areas launched in FY21, we have been evolving our approach while recognising this work is never really complete. What’s important is being able to demonstrate and measure our impact. During the year Auswide Bank established its Sustainability Committee to develop a sustainability strategy and framework and to oversee the ongoing development of this strategy. Over the course of the year under the guidance of the Board Risk Committee, the Sustainability Committee worked to develop Auswide Bank’s sustainability framework and establish targets and measurement in line with our business objectives and ESG responsibilities. Our approach Our sustainability vision is to provide ethical banking to all our communities. Our commitment is doing business responsibly and in ways that benefit our customers and communities, today and into the future.

The financial targets set out in the 3-year plan were achieved ahead of schedule and the Board and management are developing a new strategic plan which will target further enhancements in the digital bank journey into 2025. Strong loan book growth has been achieved across the 2021/22 financial year with a corresponding increase in the net interest revenue of the bank. While the net interest margin (NIM) fell by 6 bps, this result will compare favourably with our peers. Auswide continued to support the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS), while experiencing further expansion of the Private Bank service model and success in generating loans via broker channels as we focus on service to the brokers and providing consistency and improved turnaround times for customers. > a transition payment credit received from a payments system provider ($318k); > partial release of an overlay in the collective provision for doubtful debts ($350k); and > expenses relating M&A due diligence which did not proceed to a transaction $120k. The loan book of Auswide Bank Ltd (grossed up for Investments in Managed Investment Schemes reported in Other financial assets in the Statement of Financial Position) increased from $3.593b at 30 June 2021 to $3.855b at 30 June 2022, an increase of $262.090m. The home loan book saw above system growth of 8.3% compared to system growth per the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Financial Aggregates data of 7.8% for the housing sector. LOAN BOOK $3,855m $3,593m RESULTS Auswide Bank has again returned record financial results. $2,945m $3,131m $3,266m The statutory consolidated NPAT for the 2021/22 financial year was $26.132m compared to the result of $24.155m for the 2021/21 year. This represents an increase of 8.18%. STATUTORY NPAT $26.1m $24.2m JUN 18 JUN 19 JUN 20 JUN 21 JUN 22 $17.9m $17.2m $18.5m JUN 18 JUN 19 JUN 20 JUN 21 JUN 22 The NPAT excluding the non-recurring items was $24.956m compared to $24.155, an increase of 3.32%. The NPAT excluding non-recurring items was derived by adjusting for the following after tax items: > tax credits which the bank previously underclaimed ($628k); Home loan settlements across the financial year totalled $1.065b, an increase of 10.86% on the $960.439m in home loan settlements for FY21. Net Interest Margin The NIM has been a focus of the bank’s strategy during the 2021/22 financial year to ensure loan book growth is reflected in the net interest revenue. The highly competitive housing market was again a feature of the financial year, putting additional pressure on the NIM and requiring ongoing management of funding mix and pricing. The net interest margin for the 2021/22 financial year was 1.94% compared to 2.00% in the prior financial year, a decline of 6 bps. 25 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 DIRECTORS’ STATUTORY REPORT NET INTEREST MARGIN 1.93% 1.87% 1.97% 2.00% 1.94% JUN 18 JUN 19 JUN 20 JUN 21 JUN 22 Deposits and funding Customer deposits have increased significantly during the year from $2.933b at 30 June 2021 to $3.059b, an uplift of $126.098m. Although customer deposits have risen there has also been an increase in other funding sources as pricing and competition for deposits has escalated. The level of customer deposits as a percentage of total funds has reduced from 75.59% at 30 June 2021 to 73.16% at 30 June 2022. CUSTOMER DEPOSITS $2,620m $2,373m $2,108m $2,933m $3,059m JUN 18 JUN 19 JUN 20 JUN 21 JUN 22 The focus on lower cost at call savings accounts has resulted in an increase of 21.4% in that funding channel, rising from $1.44b at June 21 to be $1.75b at June 22. The bank has not been required to commit heavily to the middle market term deposit space which has seen extreme competition leading to higher interest rates. Growth in customer deposits will provide funding for expansion and allow the repayment of the first tranches of the RBA’s term funding facility which mature in Q4 of FY23. Customers Auswide Bank continued to support the FHLDS across the 2021/22 financial year, supporting first homebuyers into their homes and acquiring a new generation of younger customers for the bank. While the FHLDS loans have contributed to an increase in the proportion of loans with >90% LVR the FHLDS loans have a government guarantee for all funds above 80% LVR. Auswide’s Private Bank strategy has continued to expand with the delivery of lending and deposit solutions to high net worth individuals. The model aims to deliver high levels of service and capability to customers while also providing turnaround times that match the requirements of the customers. There has been material growth during the financial year lifting the portfolio to in excess of $350m at 30 June 2022. Loans from the third-party channel have continued to provide a material growth opportunity for the bank across the year with a 10.5% uplift in the Southeast Queensland portfolio. In addition, the growth outside of Queensland has continued with material growth in the loan books in New South Wales and Victoria. Strategic investment in the Broker business technology, which includes Artificial Intelligence (AI) learning and improved document management systems, will be an ongoing feature of the bank’s strategy. Technology The bank has continued to accelerate growth through investment in digital capabilities. The strategic plan has targeted investment in the digital framework to deliver capabilities across acquisition through partners, customer choice, digital uplift and automation. The first phase of the strategy is now complete with improved digital experience through Internet Banking and the Mobile App. The loan processing enhancements have delivered improved time to yes and turnaround times and there has been improvements in cyber resilience and protection of customer data. Auswide has also introduced robotic processes to enhance customer service and is delivering data capabilities for a data driven business. The next phase of digital investment aims at delivering a full digital experience including payment choices and anytime anywhere banking. Importantly, the strategy targets improved loan experience through auto decisioned loans, digital documentation and robotic processes. Auswide is also introducing industry leading AI to retain customers as we move into a period of customer volatility. Cyber resilience and data protection enhancements will continue to be at the forefront of the technology strategy. Capital The capital adequacy ratio for the Auswide Bank Group at 30 June 2022 was 12.90% (2021: 13.31%). The tier 1 26 Auswide Bank DIRECTORS’ STATUTORY REPORT capital ratio at 30 June 2022 was 10.63% (2021: 10.84%). The capital remains above the Board’s capital targets and meets APRA’s ‘unquestionably strong’ minimums. Due to the above system loan book growth projected for H1 of FY23, there will be a material uplift in the credit risk weighted assets during that period. The Board has resolved to implement an underwritten DRP for the final dividend for FY22. This will ensure strength of capital as the loan book grows as a result of record approvals in Q1 of FY23. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT CHANGES Auswide Bank Ltd is an approved deposit-taking institution and licensed credit and financial services provider. Auswide Bank provides deposit, credit, insurance and banking services to personal and business customers across Australia, principally in regional and metropolitan Queensland, Sydney and Melbourne. Lending Outlook The momentum in the loan book is projected to increase across the first half of FY23 as a result of record loan applications and approvals. As Auswide has continued to invest in the broker-lending channel there is capacity to elevate the volume of transactions with record settlements projected in Q1 of the 2022/23 financial year. The Private Bank is continuing to develop with additional staff added to ensure the high service model is expanded to the growing customer base. The Board and management will continue to focus on profitable lending, managing funding and pricing to ensure the loan book growth flows through to the net interest revenue of the bank. Branch network The Company has a diversified branch network consisting of 17 branches and agencies across Queensland, and a business centre in Brisbane. The Company also employs Business Development Managers in Sydney and Melbourne to conduct interstate business. All regional loan staff and panel valuers are locally based ensuring an in-depth knowledge of the local economy and developments in the real estate market. There is focus on ensuring future investments are aligned with growth opportunities and strategic initiatives, ensuring a consistent review of historical investments including branches. Arrears and collections Total arrears greater than 30 days past due decreased from $8.980m at 30 June 2021 to $6.976m at 30 June 2022. Arrears past due 30 days have decreased as a percentage of the Group’s total loan book from 0.25% at 30 June 2021 to 0.18% at 30 June 2022. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) In December 2021 an Environmental Social and Governance Committee (ESG Committee) was formally established within the bank to progress the risk assessment, processes and controls and the reporting of ESG matters for Auswide. The purpose of the committee has been defined as assisting the bank in fulfilling its responsibilities and objectives with respect to environmental, health and safety, corporate social responsibility, corporate governance, sustainability and other public policy matters. The ESG Committee has escalated the Sustainability Strategy of the bank via 6 pillars including Customer, Our People, Community, Environment, Financial and Technology & Data. Risk Auswide Bank has demonstrated a proactive approach to risk management, which has been reflected in the bank’s adoption of policies to monitor and curtail excessive exposures to higher risk locations, products or services. Initiatives have included those relating to High LVRs, Interest Only lending and participation in the FHLDS scheme which provides a government guarantee for all funds above 80% LVR. These initiatives together with continued review of underwriting, debt to income ratios and serviceability assessments ensured that Auswide Bank was well placed to manage the risks associated with its lending portfolio together with regulatory requirements. The Board Risk Committee provides strong oversight of the risk framework across the organisation. The Board remains focused on the portfolio quality as the loan book grows and this is highlighted by the continuing positive trend in relation to loan arrears. ACQUISITIONS The Board will continue to monitor opportunities to acquire loan books of suitable institutions as the opportunity presents itself and the Board will review any offers made which may complement or extend the overall operations of the Group.

The strength of the financial results for FY22 reflects expanding operations. Access to liquidity and capital have also been considered, with no indications of stress and facilities being available to provide for contingencies.

Mr Barry Dangerfield is Chairman of the Committee. The objective of the Board Remuneration Policy is to maintain behaviour that supports the sustained financial performance and security of Auswide Bank Ltd and to reward efforts which increase shareholder and customer value. This objective is upheld by: > appropriately balanced measures of performance weighted KPIs towards long-term shareholder interests; > variable performance based pay for Senior Executives including a short term incentive and a long-term incentive plan subject to an extended period of performance assessment. Short-term and long-term incentives performance criteria are aligned to performance measures and targets based on a number of differently weighted criteria including financial, sustainability including risk and compliance gateways, staff and customer focused and satisfaction of the Banking Executive Accountability Regime (BEAR) obligations; > recognition and reward for strong performance; > a considered balance between the capacity to pay and the need to pay to attract and retain capable staff; and > the exercise of Board discretion as an ultimate means to mitigate unintended consequences of variable remuneration and to preserve the interests of shareholders. Remuneration of Non-Executive Directors The fees payable for Non-Executive Directors are determined with reference to industry standards, the size of the Company, performance and profitability. The Directors’ fees are approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in the aggregate and the individual allocation is approved by the Board. The Company’s Non-Executive Directors receive only fees (including superannuation) for their services. They are not entitled to receive any benefit on retirement or resignation (other than superannuation) and do not participate in any variable STI or LTI share based remuneration. Remuneration of Key Management Personnel Key Management Personnel (KMP) are defined as persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether Senior Executive or otherwise) of the entity. As such, the KMP comprises of the non-Executive Directors, the Managing Director and directly reporting Senior Executives. Managing Director The Managing Director’s remuneration package includes fixed annual remuneration, variable remuneration in short-term and long-term incentives, benefits, superannuation, retirement and termination compensation as determined by the Board on the advice of the Board Remuneration Committee (the Committee). At its discretion, the Committee will seek external advice on the appropriate level and structure of the Managing Director’s total remuneration package. On an annual basis, a review will be performed of the remuneration arrangements for the Managing Director with due consideration to the law and corporate governance provisions to ensure that: > there are sufficiently robust performance measures and targets that encourage superior performance and ethical accountable behaviour; > that the performance of the Managing Director is measured against individual and company targets; and > any new or varied contract is disclosed in accordance with any governance, accounting and legal requirements. Remuneration of the Managing Director for 2021/22 was subject to review and recommendation of the Remuneration Committee and ratification by the Board. Senior Executives / Key Personnel The remuneration packages of the Senior Executives who report directly to the Managing Director, including Executive Directors, and any other Responsible Persons (as defined by APRA’s Prudential Standards), Accountable Persons (as defined by BEARS) and any other key persons considered by Auswide Bank to be in a role with material influence, are reviewed and recommended to the Board on the recommendations of the Committee and the Managing Director. Similarly, the Committee and Managing Director may seek external advice on the appropriate level and structure of the Senior Executives remuneration packages. An annual review and recommendations to the Board in relation to the remuneration structure will apply to Senior Executives to: > establish and maintain a process to set robust performance measures and targets that encourage superior executive performance and ethical behaviour; and > oversee the process for the measurement and assessment of performance. The remuneration for Senior Executives in 2021/22 was subject to ratification by the Remuneration Committee. 31 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 DIRECTORS’ STATUTORY REPORT Remuneration Reward framework Auswide Bank’s Remuneration Reward framework includes a range of components to focus the Managing Director and Senior Executives on achieving Auswide Bank’s strategy and business objectives. Auswide Bank’s overall philosophy is to adopt, where possible, a performance based methodology using a balanced scorecard which links remuneration to the Bank’s financial results and non-financial criteria. The Remuneration Reward framework is designed to: > reward those who deliver the highest relative performance consistent with Auswide Bank’s incentive programs; > attract, recognise, motivate and retain high performers; > provide competitive, fair and consistent rewards, benefits and conditions; and > align the interests of Senior Executives and shareholders through variable remuneration - short term incentives (STI) and long term incentives (LTI) performance rights with deferred vesting. In setting an individual’s Remuneration Reward framework, the Committee considers: > input from Auswide Bank’s Managing Director on the balanced scorecard for Senior Executives who report directly to the Managing Director; > market data from comparable roles in the financial services industry; > individual and Auswide Bank’s performance; and > external remuneration advice, where necessary. Each individual’s actual remuneration will reflect: > the degree of individual achievement in meeting key performance measures under the performance management framework and balanced scorecard; > parameters approved by the Board based on Auswide Bank’s financial and risk performance and other qualitative factors; > satisfaction of ‘Accountability Obligations’ under section 37CA of the Treasury Laws Amendment (Banking Executive Accountability and Related Measures) Act 2018 for the vesting of any Performance Rights; > Auswide Bank’s Earnings per Share (EPS) and Return on Equity (ROE) over a defined period; and > the timing and level of vesting of Performance Rights and deferral of shares. Components of the Remuneration Reward framework The components of the Remuneration Reward framework consists of the following: > Fixed Annual Remuneration (FAR) provided as cash and any contracted additional benefits (including employer superannuation); > variable remuneration in cash based short-term incentives (STI) reflecting both individual and business performance for the current financial year that supports the longer term strategic objectives of Auswide Bank; and > variable remuneration in equity based long-term incentives (LTI) provided to drive management decisions focused on the long-term prosperity of Auswide Bank through the use of challenging long term performance hurdles (EPS & ROE) and satisfaction of accountability obligations under BEAR. Variable Remuneration - Short Term Incentives (STI) Each year, key performance indicators including financial and non-financial measures (KPIs) for the Managing Director are set by the Board Remuneration Committee and approved by the Board. The Managing Director sets KPIs for the Senior Executives which is presented to the Board Remuneration Committee for approval. The STI is a maximum fixed contracted amount or the maximum value calculated as a percentage of the FAR and is payable annually in respect of each financial year as cash. Payment of STI is conditional upon the achievement of key performance measures tailored to the respective role. The performance measures and objectives are selected to provide a robust link between Senior Executive reward and the key business drivers of long term shareholder value. The KPls are measured relating to the Bank’s financial performance and non-financial performance accountabilities and objectives. The measures are chosen and weighted to best align the individual’s role to the KPls of the Company and its overall performance. KPls are weighted towards the achievement of profit growth targets. When setting the annual performance objectives, there will be a balance of material weighting to financial and non-financial measures with the assessment of risk a critical input. The financial performance objectives are determined in line with the yearly financial budget 32 Auswide Bank DIRECTORS’ STATUTORY REPORT their role will have their STI reduced in part, or in full, depending on the severity of the breach. Risk adjustment of business outcomes - whilst performance is assessed against compliance with the agreed risk measures and Risk appetite, the Board Remuneration Committee may recommend to the Board an adjustment of the financial outcomes upon which STI rewards are determined based on a qualitative overlay that reflects the Auswide Bank’s management of business risks, shareholder expectations and the quality of the financial results. Serious breach of duty The Board also has discretion to adjust the STI payment down (potentially to zero) in the event that the Managing Director or a Senior Executive commits a serious breach of duty including their accountability obligations under BEAR. If the results on which any STI reward was based are subsequently found by the Board to have been the subject of deliberate management misstatement, the Board may require repayment of the relevant STI, in addition to any other disciplinary actions. Non-payment of STI on resignation The payment of an STI will not apply if formal notice of resignation has been provided by the employee. Short Term Incentive (STI) payments Performance based payments were made to Senior Executives under the STI scheme as an incentive payment to recognise and reward the achievement of KPI targets relating to the financial year ended 30 June 2021, and were paid on 17 September 2021. To strengthen transparency, the Board Remuneration Committee have provided the performance based payments under the STI scheme for the year ended 30 June 2022. These payments are conditional upon the achievement of financial and non-financial performance objectives during the financial year under review and are expected to be paid in September 2022. set and approved by the Board. The non-financial objectives vary with position and responsibility and include measures such as achieving strategic outcomes, customer results, sustainability which includes compliance and support of the Company’s risk management policies and culture, customer satisfaction, communication and staff development. Impact of individual performance on STI rewards At the end of the financial year, the Board Remuneration Committee assesses the actual performance of the Bank and the Managing Director against the KPI balanced scorecard set at the beginning of the financial year. Based upon that assessment, a recommendation is made to the Board Remuneration Committee as to the STI payment. After individual assessment of their performance measures, the Managing Director will recommend to the Committee the STI payments for Senior Executives for approval by the Board Remuneration Committee and ratified by the Board. Impact of business performance on STI rewards Payment of an STI to the Managing Director and Senior Executives is at the complete discretion of the Board and can be adjusted downwards to zero, if necessary, to protect the financial soundness of the Company and taking into account a qualitative overlay that reflects Auswide Bank’s management of business risks, shareholder expectations and quality of the financial results - e.g. at a minimum to ensure that no breach of capital adequacy or liquidity policy thresholds occurs. For the purposes of calculating the STI pool each year, the financial performance of Auswide Bank is determined by a mix of targeted financial earnings, EPS and ROE. These measures reasonably capture the effects of a number of material risks and minimise actions that promote short-term results at the expense of longer-term business growth and success. STI risk adjustment STI reward outcomes can be adjusted for risk at a number of levels. Individual Scorecards - Senior Executives will have specific risk related measures related to their role included in their scorecard and are aligned with the Risk Appetite Statement where appropriate. Compliance Gateway - Senior Executives must support Auswide Bank’s risk and compliance culture.

Offers under the Performance Rights Plan Under the PRP invitation, an offer may be made to members of the Executive Management Team each year as determined by the Board. The maximum value of the offer is determined in the executive’s contract. The maximum value of the LTI is up to the maximum contracted amount for the Managing Director and up to the contracted percentage or fixed amount for the Senior Executives. The number of performance rights granted will be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of Auswide Bank shares over the first five trading days following the release of Auswide Bank’s annual results announcement (exclusive of announcement date). Each performance right will entitle the Senior Executive to receive one Auswide Bank share upon vesting (or the cash equivalent value), subject to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions over the vesting period. To the extent that performance rights vest, the relevant number of shares will be allocated. Shares allocated following vesting will be subject to a disposal and trading restriction until the fourth anniversary of the grant date (the restriction period). Performance rights do not give the Senior Executive any legal or beneficial interest in any shares unless and until they are vested and shares are delivered or allocated. They will not receive any dividends or other shareholder benefits, including voting in respect of their performance rights. The PRP provides for the Trustee of the Auswide Bank Ltd employee share trust to acquire, allocate and hold shares, as relevant. The Trustee is funded by the Company to acquire shares, as directed by the Board, either by way of purchase from other shareholders on market, or issue by the Company. Upon vesting, the Trustee will allocate shares to each member of the Senior Executive Team. Any shares to be allocated to the Managing Director under this Plan may require prior shareholder approval in accordance with ASX Listing Rules. Vesting of performance rights In general, performance rights will vest on the vesting date based on satisfaction of the following vesting conditions: > achievement of the applicable performance measurements and conditions over the vesting period; and > continued employment with a Group member until the vesting date (provided the Senior Executive has not given notice of resignation and has not received a notice of termination of employment). The PRP invitation offer letter provides for the allocation to the Senior Executive Team of fully paid ordinary shares in the Bank upon vesting of performance rights where accountability obligations, performance and vesting conditions specified by the Board are satisfied over a set vesting period. In addition, a further restriction period will apply to the shares following vesting and during this period, the accountability obligation must be satisfied, otherwise shares may be clawed back, the vesting period and restriction period will be outlined in the PRP invitation offer letter and will be in line with any deferred remuneration obligations under BEAR for Accountable Persons. Both the vesting period and restriction period are set by the Board at the time of offer and are at its absolute discretion. Satisfaction of conditions - accountability obligations Vesting of performance rights will be subject to obligations that apply to ‘Accountable Persons’ under section 37CA of the Treasury Laws Amendment (Banking Executive 34 Auswide Bank DIRECTORS’ STATUTORY REPORT Accountability and Related Measures) Act 2018, which are to: > act with honesty, integrity, and with due skill, care and diligence; > deal with APRA in an open, constructive and cooperative way; and > take reasonable steps in conducting business to prevent matters from arising that would adversely affect the ADI’s prudential standard or reputation. In addition, during the Restriction Period, the obligations must also be satisfied, otherwise shares may be clawed back. Testing of vesting performance measurements and conditions on PRP offers from 2019 Testing of the performance measurements and conditions will occur shortly after the end of the vesting period (which will normally occur once the full year annual results have been finalised). Based on the testing results, and provided the Senior Executive remains employed with the Bank until vesting date (being the date on which Board determines that the vesting conditions are met), the number of rights that will be eligible to vest (if any) will be determined by the Board. Upon vesting of performance rights, the Senior Executive will be allocated the relevant number of shares in respect of vested performance rights (or receive the cash equivalent value). The number of shares received may be adjusted in certain circumstances (such as if the Company undertakes a consolidation, bonus issue or capital reconstruction) as set out in the PRP rules. The Board retains discretion to adjust the number of performance rights which vest down (including to zero) to protect the financial soundness of the Company, including to ensure that breaches of capital adequacy or liquidity policy thresholds do not occur. In addition, any reward payable to any member of the Senior Executive Team under any PRP offer is subject to reassessment and possible forfeiture, if the results on which the LTI reward was based, are subsequently found to have been the subject of deliberate management misstatement. Restriction period for sale of shares once vested on PRP offers from 2019 Shares allocated upon vesting of the performance rights will be subject to trading restrictions until the end of the restriction period which is generally the fourth anniversary of the grant date. However, the restriction period may end earlier in certain circumstances including: > the date on which the Board determines an Event has occurred (refer rule 11 of the PRP Rules), subject to the requirements of the BEAR accountability obligations; and > any other date determined by the Board, subject to the requirements of BEAR. Senior Executives cannot sell, transfer or otherwise deal with their shares until the end of the restriction period. During this period, Senior Executives will still be entitled to receive dividends and exercise their voting rights along with other shareholders. The trading restriction may be enforced during the restriction period by either imposing a holding lock on the shares held by the Senior Executive or by the shares being held in the employee share trust on behalf the Senior Executive. Shares will remain subject to the requirements of the BEAR throughout the restriction period, including the ability for the Board to clawback shares if there is a failure to meet “Accountability Obligations”. Prohibition from hedging The Board Remuneration Policy prohibits persons covered by paragraph 57(a) of APRA Prudential Standard CPS510 - Governance who receive equity or equity-linked deferred remuneration from hedging their economic exposures to the resultant equity price risk before the equity-linked remuneration is fully vested and able to be sold for cash by the recipient. Any person who breaches this requirement will constitute a breach of duty and as such will involve disciplinary action and the risk of dismissal under the terms of the Executive’s contract. Treatment of performance rights in other circumstances in PRP offers from 2019 If a Senior Executive ceases employment prior to the vesting date, the treatment of unvested performance rights will depend on the circumstances of cessation. Where employment is ceased prior to the relevant vesting date due to resignation, termination for cause or gross misconduct, all of the unvested performance rights will lapse at cessation (subject to the Board’s discretion to apply a different treatment, in accordance with the PRP rules). Where employment is ceased for any other reason before performance rights vest, a pro-rata number of unvested performance rights (based on the vesting period elapsed) will continue “on-foot”, and will be tested at the original vesting date and vest to the extent that the relevant vesting conditions have been satisfied (ignoring any service-related conditions).

Details are provided on an individual basis for each of the key management personnel whose indebtedness exceeded $100,000 at any time during this reporting period. Loans have been made in accordance with the normal terms and conditions offered by the Company and charged at rates available to the general public; therefore, this interest rate would approximate an arm’s length interest rate offered by the Company. In addition, loans to staff are also made in accordance with the Staff Share Plan approved by shareholders in 1992.

The policy will also reimburse the Company where it is permitted by law to indemnify Insured Persons in relation to such claims or allegations. Cover is provided for the costs of defending such claims or allegations. During the reporting period and subsequent to 30 June 2022, no amounts have been paid pursuant to the policy. Non-audit services During the year, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, the Company’s Auditor, performed certain other services in addition to their statutory duties. The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during the year by the Auditor, and in accordance with advice provided by the Board Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services during the year by the Auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: > All non-audit services were subject to the Corporate Governance procedures adopted by the Company and have been reviewed by the Board Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the Auditor, and > The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the Auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Company, acting as an advocate for the Company or jointly sharing risks and rewards. A copy of the Auditor’s Independence Declaration, as required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001, is included in the Directors’ Statutory Report. Non-audit services paid to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu are as follows: Services provided in connection with: Tax advisory services Consulting services 2022 $ 2021 $ 24,669 24,007 - 131,118 24,669 155,125 This Report is signed for and on behalf of the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

General information 1.1 Reporting entity Auswide Bank Ltd (the Company) is a for-profit listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial statements of Auswide Bank Ltd for the year ended 30 June 2022 comprises Auswide Bank Ltd and its subsidiaries (the Group or the Consolidated Entity). The Company’s registered office and principle place of business is Level 3, 16-20 Barolin St, Bundaberg, QLD, 4670. The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) and the nature of the Group’s operations are set out in Note 2.5 - Business and geographical segment information. 1.2 Statement of compliance The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and comply with other requirements of the law. The financial statements comply with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in their entirety. 1.3 Basis of preparation These financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical cost, except for land and buildings, hedging instruments, financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss or other comprehensive income that have been measured at fair value. The accounting policies and methods of computation in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021, unless otherwise stated. 1.4 Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company, being the parent entity and entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Company: > has power over the investee; > is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and > has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company has power when it has rights that give it the ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns. The Group not only has to consider its holdings and rights, but also the holdings and rights of other shareholders in order to determine whether it has the necessary power for consolidation purposes. The existence and effect of potential voting rights where the Group has the practical ability to exercise them is considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. The Company reassesses whether it has control of an investee if facts and circumstances indicate changes to the aforementioned elements have occurred. A list of the controlled entities is provided in Note 5.1.1 Controlled entities. The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between Group entities are fully eliminated on consolidation. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity. The interests of non-controlling shareholders that are present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of net assets upon liquidation may initially be measured at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, non-controlling interests are attributed their share of profits or loss and each component of other comprehensive income. Non-controlling interests are shown separately within the equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 56 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 1.5 Rounding of amounts The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument amounts in the Directors’ Report and the financial statements are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars. 1.6 Goods and Services Tax (GST) Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense.

The group has net assets of $282.062m, recorded positive operating and total cash flows and has disclosed its liquidity risk management policy in Note 4.4. As a consequence of this, the Directors are of the view that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully despite the current economic climate. Accordingly, they believe the going concern basis is appropriate. 58 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 2.

The effective interest rate (EIR) is the rate that discounts estimated future cash flows of a financial instrument over its expected life or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The future cash flows are estimated taking into account the contractual terms of the instrument. The calculation of the EIR includes all fees paid or received between parties to the contract that are incremental and directly attributable to the specific lending arrangement, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts. For financial assets at FVTPL transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss at initial recognition. The interest income/ interest expense is calculated by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of non-credit impaired financial assets (i.e. the amortised cost of the financial asset before adjusting for any expected credit loss allowance), or to the amortised cost of financial liabilities. For credit-impaired financial assets the interest income is calculated by applying the EIR to the amortised cost of the credit-impaired financial assets (i.e. the gross carrying amount less the allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs)). For financial assets the EIR reflects the ECL in determining the future cash flows expected to be received from the financial asset. 60 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 9,729 2,659 9,483 877 9,729 2,659 9,483 877 12,388 10,360 12,388 10,360 2.2 Other non-interest income Other non-interest income Fees and commissions Other income Accounting policies Other non-interest income Fee and commission income and expense include fees other than those that are an integral part of EIR (see above). The fees included in this part of the Group’s consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income include among other things fees charged for servicing a loan, non-utilisation fees relating to loan commitments when it is unlikely that these will result in a specific lending arrangement and loan syndication fees. Income from these sources is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer which is typically at the time when the underlying transaction to which the fee and commission relates is executed as specified in the contract. 2.3 Income taxes 2.3.1 Components of income tax expense Current income tax Deferred income tax Income tax expense reported in profit or loss Accounting policies Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 10,220 1,132 11,352 2021 $’000 9,928 619 10,547 2022 $’000 10,172 1,169 11,341 2021 $’000 9,925 619 10,544 Taxation The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted for changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, and to unused tax losses. The income tax expense is determined using the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Provisions are established where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. A deferred income tax loss is recognised in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited to profit or loss except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity. Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised. 61 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 2.3 Income taxes (continued) The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination. Tax consolidation legislation The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities (with the exception of Auswide Performance Rights Pty Ltd) formed an income tax consolidated Group under the Australian Consolidation System as of the financial year ended 30 June 2008. Auswide Bank Ltd is the head entity in the tax consolidated Group, and as a consequence recognises current and deferred tax amounts relating to transactions, events and balances of the wholly-owned Australian controlled entities in this Group as if those transactions, events and balances were its own, in addition to the current and deferred tax amounts arising in relation to its own transactions, events and balances. The tax consolidated Group has not entered into a tax sharing agreement. 2.3.2 Numerical reconciliation of income tax expense to prima facie tax payable Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 Tax on profit before income tax at 30% (2021: 30%) 11,245 10,411 11,245 10,411 Tax effect of permanent differences Add non-deductible expenses: Depreciation of buildings Less: Tax offset for franked dividends Other items - net Income tax expense 2.3.3 Income tax recognised in other comprehensive income Current income tax Other Deferred income tax Arising on items that may be reclassified to profit or loss: Fair value remeasurement of hedging instruments entered into for cash flow hedges Arising on items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss: Fair value remeasurement of FVTOCI financial assets Fair value remeasurement of land and buildings Total income tax recognised directly in other comprehensive income 71 (7) 43 58 (1) 79 71 3 22 58 2 73 11,352 10,547 11,341 10,544 Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 - - 5,458 5,458 - - - 5,458 - - (208) (208) (43) 680 637 429 - - 5,458 5,458 - - - 5,458 - - (208) (208) (43) 680 637 429 62 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 2.3.4 Current tax assets and liabilities Consolidated Company Current tax assets/ (liabilities) Current tax liabilities 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 (613) (613) (1,230) (1,230) (602) (602) (1,226) (1,226) 2.3.5 Deferred tax balances Consolidated Company Deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities Deferred tax assets Employee leave provisions Expected credit losses Property and equipment Capital losses available Premium on loans purchased Subordinated capital notes prepaid expenses Lease liabilities net of right of use assets Cash flow hedging reserve Other items Notes 3.1 Deferred tax liabilities Property and equipment Asset revaluation reserve Prepayments Cash flow hedging reserve Performance Rights cash contributions in excess of accounting expense 2022 $’000 - (3,896) (3,896) 2021 $’000 2,834 - 2,834 2022 $’000 - (3,896) (3,896) 2021 $’000 2,834 - 2,834 Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 1,072 1,443 - 874 101 22 238 - 384 1,032 1,841 204 1,026 108 47 218 783 315 1,072 1,443 - 874 101 22 238 - 384 1,032 1,841 204 1,026 108 47 218 783 315 4,134 5,574 4,134 5,574 Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 706 2,547 10 4,675 92 - 2,547 40 - 153 706 2,547 10 4,675 92 - 2,547 40 - 153 8,030 2,740 8,030 2,740 In respect of each temporary difference the adjustment was charged to income, except for the revaluations of hedging instruments entered into for cash flow hedges which were charged to the cash flow hedge reserve in equity, and the revaluations of land and buildings which were charged to the asset revaluation reserve in equity. 63 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 Movement in deferred tax balances Balance at beginning of year Deferred income tax income/ (expense) recognised directly in profit or loss Deferred tax recognised in other comprehensive income Deferred tax arising on: Reduction in deferred tax asset on capital losses Prior period adjustments Balance at end of year Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 2,834 (1,168) (5,458) (120) 16 2021 $’000 4,322 (619) (429) (440) - 2022 $’000 2,834 (1,168) (5,458) (120) 16 (3,896) 2,834 (3,896) 2021 $’000 4,322 (619) (429) (440) - 2,834 2.4 Earnings per share Basic and diluted earnings per share From continuing operations Total basic and diluted earnings per share The earnings and weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows: Profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company Earnings used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share 2022 Cents per share 2021 Cents per share 60.48 60.48 56.66 56.66 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 26,132 24,155 26,132 24,155 2022 Shares No. 2021 Shares No. 43,207,991 42,632,528 2.5 Business and geographical segment information The Group only has one major business and operating segment being ‘Retail Banking’.

The valuations were independently prepared in accordance with the API’s Australian and New Zealand Valuation and Property Standards. The valuations were derived through a reconciliation of the capitalisation of net income and direct comparison approaches. The Company’s policy is to engage external experts to comprehensively revalue freehold land and buildings every three years with an assessment performed by the Board of Directors in intervening years. The Board of Directors believe the valuations determined by the independent valuer remain appropriate. 65 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 3.1 Property and equipment (continued) Accounting policies Property and equipment Freehold land and buildings are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent depreciation for buildings and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Freehold land is not depreciated. Revalued amounts are based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. The carrying amount of equipment is reviewed annually by the Directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of freehold land and buildings is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated within equity, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously expensed. A decrease in the carrying amount arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the properties revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including building and capitalised lease assets, but excluding freehold land, is depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The depreciation periods used for each class of depreciable assets are: > Buildings - 40 years > Plant and equipment - 4 to 6 years > Leasehold improvements - 4 to 6 years or the term of the lease, whichever is the lesser. The asset’s residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in the revaluation reserve relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings. Equipment is measured on the cost basis less depreciation and impairment losses. 66 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 3.1 Property and equipment (continued) 3.1.1 Right-of-use assets Consolidated entity Right-of-use assets at cost Balance as at 1 July 2021 Additions during the year Modification to lease terms Variable lease payment adjustments Balance as at 30 June 2022 Accumulated depreciation Depreciation charge for the year Right-of-use assets as at 30 June 2022 Consolidated entity Right-of-use assets at cost Balance as at 1 July 2020 Variable lease payment adjustments Modification to lease terms Balance as at 30 June 2021 Accumulated depreciation Depreciation charge for the year Right-of-use assets as at 30 June 2021 Company Right-of-use assets at cost Balance as at 1 July 2021 Additions during the year Variable lease payment adjustments Modification to lease terms Balance as at 30 June 2022 Accumulated depreciation Depreciation charge for the year Right-of-use assets as at 30 June 2022 Company Right-of-use assets at cost Balance as at 1 July 2020 Variable lease payment adjustments Modification to lease terms Balance as at 30 June 2021 Accumulated depreciation Depreciation charge for the year Right-of-use assets as at 30 June 2021 Property $’000 Vehicles $’000 Total $’000 4,436 1,658 (8) (149) 5,937 (1,533) 4,404 92 69 38 (2) 197 (93) 104 4,528 1,727 30 (151) 6,134 (1,626) 4,508 Property $’000 Vehicles $’000 Total $’000 6,088 (92) (51) 5,945 (1,509) 4,436 171 - 17 188 (96) 92 6,259 (92) (34) 6,133 (1,605) 4,528 Property $’000 Vehicles $’000 Total $’000 4,436 1,658 (149) (8) 5,937 (1,533) 4,404 92 69 (2) 38 197 (93) 104 4,528 1,727 (151) 30 6,134 (1,626) 4,508 Property $’000 Vehicles $’000 Total $’000 6,088 (92) (51) 5,945 (1,509) 4,436 171 - 17 188 (96) 92 6,259 (92) (34) 6,133 (1,605) 4,528 67 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 3.1 Property and equipment (continued) 3.1.2 Lease liabilities Details of associated lease liabilities recognised in respect of the right-of-use assets are presented below: Maturity analysis - contractual undiscounted cash flows Less than one year One to five years Total undiscounted lease liabilities Lease liabilities included in statement of financial position Current Non-current Amounts recognised in statement of comprehensive income Interest on lease liabilities Amounts recognised in statement of cash flows Total cash outflow for leases Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 1,892 3,882 5,774 1,851 3,452 5,303 246 246 1,748 1,748 1,653 4,132 5,785 1,619 3,647 5,266 290 290 1,828 1,828 1,892 3,882 5,774 1,851 3,452 5,303 246 246 1,748 1,748 1,653 4,132 5,785 1,619 3,647 5,266 290 290 1,828 1,828 Accounting policies At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. A right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability is recognised with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether: > the contract involves the use of an identified asset - this may be specified explicitly or implicitly and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; > the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and > the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Group has this right when it has the decision- making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either: - - the Group has the right to operate the asset; or the Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. 68 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: > fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, less any lease incentive receivable; > variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; > the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if any; and > the exercise price, if any, under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early. The lease liability is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is re-measured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero. Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 3.2 Other intangible assets Carrying amounts of: Software Software At cost Provision for amortisation Movement in carrying amount Balance at beginning of year Additions Disposals Amortisation Reclassification of work in progress Balance at end of year Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 2,839 2,839 2021 $’000 1,483 1,483 2022 $’000 2,839 2,839 2021 $’000 1,483 1,483 Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 7,178 (4,339) 2,839 1,483 1,359 - (486) 483 2,839 5,336 (3,853) 1,483 1,198 949 - (664) - 1,483 7,178 (4,339) 2,839 1,483 1,359 - (486) 483 2,839 5,336 (3,853) 1,483 1,198 949 - (664) - 1,483 69 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 Accounting policies Intangible assets Purchased items of computer software which are not integral to the computer hardware owned by the Group are classified as intangible assets. Intangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment. Computer software has a finite life and accordingly is amortised on a straight line basis over the expected useful life of the software. Amortisation periods ranging from 4 to 6 years are applied. An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are taken to profit or loss at the date of derecognition. No internally generated intangible assets are recognised by the Group. Impairment testing is performed annually for intangible assets with indefinite lives and intangible assets not yet available for use. 3.3 Goodwill Goodwill Representing goodwill arising on the acquisition of: Queensland Professional Credit Union Ltd (YCU) Mackay Permanent Building Society Ltd (MPBS) Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 46,363 46,363 4,306 42,057 46,363 2021 $’000 46,363 46,363 4,306 42,057 46,363 2022 $’000 46,363 46,363 4,306 42,057 46,363 2021 $’000 46,363 46,363 4,306 42,057 46,363 3.3.1 Queensland Professional Credit Union Ltd (YCU) On 19 May 2016, the Group acquired 100% of the shares of Queensland Professional Credit Union Ltd trading as Your Credit Union (YCU), via a court approved Scheme of Arrangement which involved the demutualisation of YCU and resulted in Auswide Bank Ltd obtaining control of YCU. All of YCU’s assets, liabilities and obligations, whether actual or contingent were transferred to Auswide Bank Ltd. In addition, all duties, obligations, immunities, rights and privileges which apply to YCU, had YCU continued in existence, apply to Auswide Bank Ltd as a continuation of, and the same legal entity as YCU. The financial accounting for this business combination was prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and recognises the acquisition date as 19 May 2016. 3.3.2 Mackay Permanent Building Society Ltd (MPBS) Pursuant to a bidder’s statement lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission on 15 November 2007, the Company issued an off-market takeover offer for 100% of the ordinary shares in Mackay Permanent Building Society Ltd (MPBS). On 11 January 2008 the Company announced the fulfilment of conditions pertaining to the off-market takeover offer set out in the bidder’s statement and gave notice that the offer was unconditional effective 10 January 2008. In accordance with APRA’s approval for the transfer of business the financial and accounting records of the entities were merged on 1 June 2008. The financial accounting for this business combination was prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and recognises the acquisition date as 10 January 2008. 70 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 Accounting policies Goodwill Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised at the date of the acquisition. Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. A cash-generating unit or groups of cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss on goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed annually, or earlier if there is an impairment indicator. Key estimates and judgments The cash-generating unit selected for impairment testing of goodwill was the Auswide Bank Ltd parent entity, as it is impractical to identify a separate MPBS cash-generating unit, or YCU cash-generating unit, within the Company and Consolidated entities. Impairment testing of goodwill was carried out by comparing the carrying amount of the cash generating unit to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined based on fair value less cost to sell, using an earnings-multiple applicable to the type of business and a reasonable control premium. The category of this fair value is level 3 as defined in Note 4.6 - Fair value measurements. Earnings multiples relating to Group’s banking business are sourced from publicly available data associated with Australian businesses displaying similar characteristics to those of Auswide Bank Ltd, and are applied, together with a control premium, to current earnings. The key assumptions under this approach are: > Price-Earnings (P/E) multiple observed for these businesses, which for the banking businesses were in the range of 8.4 - 20.5x. Management has applied P/E multiple of 10x (2021: 12x), lower than the historical average, as a most prudent estimate of the assumption considering the current economic environment. > Control premium which based on management’s best estimate informed by independent advice of a professional services firm is 20%. Sensitivity to changes in assumptions Under the value of these assumptions, the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU exceeds its carrying amount by $24m. A reasonably possible change in any one of these assumptions can result in the carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount: > if all other assumptions remain the same, should the multiples estimate decrease to 9.2x the carrying value will exceed the recoverable amount by $0.5m; and > If all other assumptions remain the same, should the control premium estimate decrease to 10.5% the carrying amount will exceed the recoverable amount by $0.5m. 71 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 3.4 Contributed equity Disclosures on a Company basis have not been separately disclosed as the amounts do not differ materially from those of the Consolidated entity.

All ordinary shares have equal voting, dividend and capital repayment rights. 3.4.1 Staff Share Plan On 01 November 2021, 93,345 ordinary shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s staff share plan. Shares were issued at a price of 90% of the weighted average price of the Company’s shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange for the 10 days prior to the issue of the invitation to subscribe for the shares. The members of the Company approved a staff share plan in 1992 enabling the staff to participate to a maximum of 10% of the shares of the Company. The share plan is available to all employees under the terms and conditions as decided from time to time by the Directors, but in particular, limits the maximum loan to each participating employee to 40% of their gross annual income. The plan requires employees to provide a deposit of 10% with the balance able to be repaid over a period of five years at no interest.

Recognised financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to, or deducted from, the fair value on recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss. If the transaction price differs from fair value at initial recognition, the Group will account for such differences as follows: > if fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets, then the difference is recognised in profit or loss on initial recognition (i.e. day 1 profit or loss); and > in all other cases, the fair value will be adjusted to bring it in line with the transaction price (i.e. day 1 profit or loss will be deferred by including it in the initial carrying amount of the asset or liability). 76 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 After initial recognition, the deferred gain or loss will be released to profit or loss on a rational basis, only to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor (including time) that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or liability. Financial assets Financial assets are recognised on the trade date when the purchase is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets classified as at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss. All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of AASB 9 are required to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value on the basis of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. Specifically; > debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (SPPI), are subsequently measured at amortised cost; > debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is both to collect the contractual cash flows and to sell the debt instruments, and that have contractual cash flows that are SPPI, are subsequently measured at FVTOCI; and > all other debt instruments (e.g. debt instruments managed on a fair value basis, or held for sale) and equity investments are subsequently measured at FVTPL. However, the Group may make the following irrevocable election/ designation at initial recognition of a financial asset on an asset-by-asset basis: > the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment that is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which AASB 3 applies, in OCI; and > the Group may irrevocably designate a debt instrument that meets the amortised cost or FVTOCI criteria as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch (referred to as the fair value option). Debt instruments at amortised cost or at FVTOCI The Group assesses the classification and measurement of a financial asset based on the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset and the Group’s business model for managing the asset. For an asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI, its contractual terms should give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding (SPPI). For the purpose of SPPI test, principal is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition. That principal amount may change over the life of the financial asset (e.g. if there are repayments of principal). Interest consists of consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin. The SPPI assessment is made in the currency in which the financial asset is denominated. Contractual cash flows that are SPPI are consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Contractual terms that introduce exposure to risks or volatility in the contractual cash flows that are unrelated to a basic lending arrangement, such as exposure to changes in equity prices or commodity prices, do not give rise to contractual cash flows that are SPPI. An originated or an acquired financial asset can be a basic lending arrangement irrespective of whether it is a loan in its legal form. An assessment of business models for managing financial assets is fundamental to the classification of a financial asset. The Group determines the business models at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. The Group’s business model does not depend on management’s intentions for an individual instrument, therefore the business model assessment is performed at a higher level of aggregation. When a debt instrument measured at FVTOCI is derecognised, the cumulative gain/loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Debt instruments that are subsequently measured at amortised cost or at FVTOCI are subject to impairment. 77 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets at FVTPL are: > assets with contractual cash flows that are not SPPI; or/and > assets that are held in a business model other than held to collect contractual cash flows or held to collect and sell; or > assets designated at FVTPL using the fair value option. Such assets are measured at fair value, with any gains/losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. Equity investments On initial recognition, the Group classifies the investment in equity instruments either at FVTPL if it is held for trading or at FVTOCI if designated as measured at FVTOCI. When an equity investment designated as measured at FVTOCI is derecognised, the cumulative gain/loss previously recognised in OCI is not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss but transferred within equity. Derecognition of financial assets The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the asset’s cash flows expire (including expiry arising from a modification with substantially different terms), or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are transferred to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain/loss that had been recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of equity investment designated as measured at FVTOCI, where the cumulative gain/loss previously recognised in OCI is not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Reclassifications If the business model under which the Group holds financial assets changes, the financial assets affected are reclassified. The classification and measurement requirements related to the new category apply prospectively from the first day of the first reporting period following the change in business model that results in reclassifying the Group’s financial assets. During the current financial year and previous accounting period there was no change in the business model under which the Group holds financial assets and therefore no reclassifications were made. Financial liabilities A financial liability is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Group or a contract that will or may be settled in the Group’s own equity instruments and is a non-derivative contract for which the Group is or may be obliged to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments, or a derivative contract over own equity that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash (or another financial asset) for a fixed number of the Group’s own equity instruments. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities. The Group does not have any financial liabilities which are classified at FVTPL. Other financial liabilities, including deposits and borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Equity instruments An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Group’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain/loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. 78 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 4.1.1 Cash and cash equivalents For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks.

Loans and advances include an amount of $790.373m of which have been issued under the federal government’s First Home Loan Deposit Scheme by National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC). The scheme provides a guarantee for any loan monies above 80% LVR. The Group has entered into securitisation transactions on residential mortgage loans that do not qualify for derecognition. The special purpose entities established for the securitisations are considered to be controlled in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Australian Accounting Interpretations. The Company is entitled to any residual income of the securitisation program after all payments due to investors and costs of the program have been met; to this extent the economic entity retains credit and liquidity risk. The impact on the Group is an increase in liabilities - Loans under management of $370.761m (2021: $333.714m). Class B notes of $25.037m (2021: $21.007m) which are owned by the Company and which represent the Group’s exposure on the securitised mortgages have been eliminated from the consolidated figures. 4.1.5 Other investments This represents investments in unlisted shares which have been classified at fair value through other comprehensive income, as well as an equity accounted investment.

The Board has established the following committees and delegated responsibilities to develop and monitor risk within their relevant areas and consistent with the Group wide Risk Management Framework: The Board Risk Committee; > assists the Board in the effective management of its responsibilities to set and oversee the risk profile and the risk management framework of Auswide Bank; > ensures management have appropriate risk systems and practices to effectively operate within the Board approved risk profile for Auswide Bank; and > deals with, and where applicable resolve, determine and recommend, all matters falling within the scope of its purpose and duties as set out in the Charter and other matters that may be delegated by the Board to the Committee from time to time. The Board Audit Committee; > overviews the management of the financial reporting and disclosure practices; > overviews the internal audit functions; > reviews compliance with APRA reporting and other statutory requirements; > oversight of financial accounts; > addresses changes in accounting principles and the application in interim and annual reports; > reviews reports from the External Auditors; and > reviews reports from the Internal Auditor, the Internal Audit program and any Management responses to issues raised. The Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO); > reviews the balance sheet and recommends changes with regard to capital management, funding and securitisation activities (including product related issues); and > reviews measures of liquidity and capital adequacy position against the policy and guidelines established in the Board policy. APRA’s Prudential Standard APS 110 Capital Adequacy aims to ensure the Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions (ADIs) maintain adequate capital, on both an individual and group basis, to act as a buffer against the risks associated with the Group’s activities. APRA requires capital to be allocated against credit, market and operational risk, and the Group has adopted the ‘standard model’ approach to measure the capital adequacy ratio. The Board of Directors takes responsibility to ensure the Company and Group maintain a level and quality of capital commensurate with the type, amount and concentration of risks to which the company and consolidated group are exposed from their activities. The Board has regard to prospective changes in the risk profile and capital holdings. The Company’s management prepares a three year capital plan and monitors actual risk-based capital ratios on a monthly basis to ensure the capital ratio complies with Board targets. During the 2021 and 2022 financial years the capital adequacy ratios of both the Group and Company were maintained above the target ratio. The capital adequacy calculations at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the revised prudential standards incorporating the Basel III principles. APRA Prudential Standards and Guidance Notes for ADIs provide guidelines for the calculation of capital and specific parameters relating to Tier 1, Common Equity Tier 1 and Total Capital. Tier 1 capital comprises the highest quality components of capital and includes ordinary share capital, general reserves and retained earnings less specific deductions. Tier 2 capital comprises other capital components including general reserve for credit losses and cumulative subordinated debt. Consistent with Basel III, the approach to capital assessment provides for a quantitative measure of the capital adequacy and focuses on: > credit risk arising from on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposures; > market risk arising from trading activities; > operational risk associated with banking activities; > securitisation risks; and > the amount, form and quality of capital held to act as a buffer against these and other exposures. 82 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 Details of the capital adequacy ratio on a Company and Consolidated basis are set out below: Total risk weighted assets Capital base Consolidated Company 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 2022 $’000 2021 $’000 1,953,487 1,792,514 1,954,528 1,793,728 251,970 238,662 253,144 239,427 Risk-based capital ratio 12.90% 13.31% 12.95% 13.35% The loan portfolio of the Company does not include any loan which represents 10% or more of capital.

The Board’s objective is to manage market risk exposures while optimising the return on risk. 4.3.1 Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the potential for loss of earnings to Auswide Bank Ltd due to adverse movements in interest rates. The Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is responsible for the analysis and management of interest rate risk inherent in the balance sheet through balance sheet and financial derivative alternatives. These risks are quantified in the Interest Rate Risk Report. The ALCO’s functions and roles include: (i) review measures of profitability, particularly net interest and fee income including strategies and directives; (ii) review management interest rate view as well as asset and liability repricing data; (iii) receive and review reports from management concerning the organisation’s credit risk; (iv) (v) receive and review management reports on interest rate risk against guidelines and limits established in Board policy; consider and approve pricing on interest bearing assets and liabilities as well as fee revenue attached to these products in co-operation with the Product Pricing sub-committee; (vi) oversee lending and depositing activities, including the provision of discretion pursuant to Board policies; (vii) receive and review reports from management regarding significant asset and liability exposure; (viii) oversee securitisation activities for the organisation, including recommendations for future securitisation transactions; (ix) review and maintain liquidity and capital management plans, including contingency measures; and (x) make recommendations to the Board on changes to the following policies; > Lending; > Term Deposits; and > Finance related policies (including capital and liquidity). 83 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 % 1 2 0 2 % 2 2 0 2 1 2 0 2 0 0 0 $ ’ 2 2 0 2 0 0 0 $ ’ 1 2 0 2 0 0 0 $ ’ 2 2 0 2 0 0 0 $ ’ 1 2 0 2 0 0 0 $ ’ 2 2 0 2 0 0 0 $ ’ 1 2 0 2 0 0 0 $ ’ 2 2 0 2 0 0 0 $ ’ 1 2 0 2 0 0 0 $ ’ 2 2 0 2 0 0 0 $ ’ e t a r t s e r e t n i e v i t c e ff e t e e h s e c n a a b r e p l e g a r e v a d e t h g i e W t n u o m a g n i y r r a c l a t o T g n i r a e b t s e r e t n i - n o N s r a e y 5 o t 1 m o r F s s e l r o r a e y 1 e t a r t s e r e t n i l e b a i r a V : n i g n i r u t a m e t a r t s e r e t n i d e x i F s t n e m u r t s n i l a i c n a n i F s t e s s a l a i c n a n i F : s w o l l o f s a e r a , e t a d e c n a a b e h t l t a s e i t i l i b a i l l i a c n a n fi d n a s t e s s a l i a c n a n fi f o s e t a r t s e r e t n i e v i t c e ff e e h t d n a s k s i r e t a r t s e r e t n i o t e r u s o p x e s p u o r G e h T ’ I S T N E M E T A T S L A C N A N I F E H T O T S E T O N 2 2 0 2 E N U J 0 3 84 6 0 0 . 3 0 0 . 7 3 1 . 6 9 2 . - 6 5 0 . 0 2 0 . 1 4 1 . 9 8 3 . 2 1 0 . 1 0 0 . 1 9 0 . 0 6 2 . - 3 4 0 . 9 1 0 . 2 2 1 . 6 6 3 . 7 2 6 2 1 1 , 7 3 5 8 7 1 , 1 4 2 1 , 9 3 0 1 , 0 9 7 2 1 , 3 7 7 1 1 , 3 6 7 8 9 3 , 8 5 6 5 9 3 , , 3 4 0 5 5 5 3 , , 5 6 5 7 2 8 3 , , 3 2 2 9 7 0 4 , , 3 3 5 3 1 4 4 , - 5 9 7 7 5 5 , 3 1 9 6 , - 5 9 1 4 2 8 , 5 7 3 9 , - - - - - - - - 4 2 4 7 3 , 7 5 8 6 2 , , 3 1 2 1 4 3 8 0 5 2 5 3 , 6 8 3 1 1 1 , 7 9 4 7 7 1 , 5 9 6 2 1 , 6 2 1 0 2 , 8 7 6 1 1 , 4 9 2 6 1 , , 9 8 1 6 6 2 1 , , 3 8 7 0 1 5 1 , , 3 1 6 3 0 3 1 , , 0 4 6 7 3 5 1 , 8 9 4 0 0 4 , , 9 8 8 3 8 4 1 1 7 1 4 7 , , 7 9 3 6 3 8 , 9 7 7 2 8 8 1 , , 6 8 9 6 2 0 2 , , 2 5 6 4 2 8 1 , , 1 2 1 0 3 0 2 , 4 9 9 5 1 , 9 0 3 2 3 , 4 9 9 5 1 , 9 0 3 2 3 , - - 6 0 8 0 5 1 , 6 0 8 0 5 1 , 4 1 7 3 3 3 , 1 6 7 0 7 3 , 0 0 0 2 4 , 0 0 0 2 4 , - - - - - - - - 6 0 8 0 5 1 , 6 0 8 0 5 1 , 8 5 8 8 1 1 , 3 4 3 6 4 1 , - - - - 5 9 5 7 3 , 0 0 0 2 4 , 2 7 8 6 4 , 0 0 0 2 4 , , 9 8 2 9 4 3 3 , , 2 4 3 7 1 6 3 , - - 7 3 5 5 7 2 , , 9 5 3 7 9 1 , 4 7 7 3 3 6 1 , , 3 3 9 9 7 6 1 , , 3 0 8 1 9 8 3 , , 8 1 2 3 1 2 4 , 4 9 9 5 1 , 9 0 3 2 3 , 1 0 2 5 4 5 , , 8 0 5 4 9 4 , 9 6 3 3 1 7 1 , , 5 0 8 8 6 7 1 , - - - - , 8 7 9 9 3 4 1 , , 0 5 0 0 4 7 1 , 1 6 2 7 7 1 , 6 4 5 7 7 1 , t n e m e g a n a m r e d n u s n a o L - - s e t o n l a t i p a c d e t a n d r o b u S i , 9 3 2 7 1 6 1 , , 6 9 5 7 1 9 1 , s e i t i l i b a i l l a i c n a n fi l a t o T s n o i t u t i t s n i l i a c n a n fi r e h t o m o r f e u D i s g n w o r r o b m r e t t r o h s d n a s t i s o p e D s e i t i l i b a i l r e h t o d n a s e b a y a P l i s g n w o r r o b r e h t O s t e s s a l i a c n a n fi r e h t O s e c n a v d a d n a s n a o L s t e s s a l a i c n a n fi l a t o T s e i t i l i b a i l l a i c n a n i F i l s t n e a v u q e h s a c d n a h s a C Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 2.0% higher and all other variables were held constant the Group’s net profit before tax would increase by $0.165m. If interest rates were 1.0% lower and all other variables were held constant the Group’s net profit before tax would decrease by $0.081m (2021: 2.0% higher a decrease of $0.024m or 1.0% lower a decrease of $5.352m). The parameters used were consistent with those adopted for the prior period and is mainly due to the Company’s exposures to variable rate loans, and deposit and securitisation liabilities. The sensitivity analysis was derived from the Interest Rate Risk Report which calculates risk associated with movements in interest rates through the input of parameters for all financial assets and liabilities. Derivatives Derivatives are utilised to manage interest rate risk, along with balance sheet management. Net Interest Impact, Net Present Value and Value at Risk are key interest rate risk measures that are monitored to maintain ratios and risk within policy limits. Each of the following securitisation trusts has an Interest Rate Swap in place to hedge against fixed rate loans held in the trust. The mark-to-market values at the end of the year were as follows: Wide Bay Trust No. 5 WB Trust 2008-1 WB Trust 2014-1 ABA Trust 2017-1 WB Trust 2010-1 2022 $’000 (814) 2,105 - 30 (3) 2021 $’000 (1,144) 6,133 50 (20) - Auswide Bank enters into interest rate swaps from time to time and has International Swaps and Derivatives (ISDAs) in place with the ANZ and Westpac Banks. These are designated as effective hedges and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Assets and liabilities arising from the mark-to-market valuation of interest rate swaps are $16.400m and $0.818m respectively (2021: $0.049m and $2.661m). Accounting policies Cash flow hedges The Group designates certain hedging instruments, which include interest rate swaps, as cash flow hedges. At the inception of the hedge relationship, the entity documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Group documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other qualifying hedging instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve, a separate component of OCI, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge less any amounts recycled to profit or loss. Amounts previously recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, in the same line as the recognised hedged item. If the Group no longer expects the transaction to occur that amount is immediately reclassified to profit or loss. The Group discontinues hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship (or a part thereof) ceases to meet the qualifying criteria (after rebalancing, if applicable). This includes instances when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or where the occurrence of the designated hedged forecast transaction is no longer considered to be highly probable. The discontinuation is accounted for prospectively. Any gain/loss recognised in OCI and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain/loss accumulated in equity is reclassified and recognised immediately in profit or loss. 85 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 4.4 Liquidity risk management Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Group will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Board of Directors have approved an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, credit facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, and daily monitoring and forecasting cash flows. Liquidity is monitored by management and a projection of near future liquidity (30 days) is calculated daily. This information is used by management to manage expected liquidity requirements.

The Company also employs Business Development Managers in Sydney and Melbourne to conduct interstate business. All regional loan staff and panel valuers are locally based ensuring an in depth knowledge of the local economy and developments in the real estate market. Managing credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a customer or counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s main income generating activity is lending to customers and therefore credit risk is a principal risk. Credit risk mainly arises from loans and advances, debt investments, lease receivables, contract assets, loan commitments and financial guarantees. The Group considers all elements of credit risk exposure such a counterparty default risk, geographical risk and sector risk for risk management purposes. Under the direction of the Board of Directors, management has developed risk management policies and procedures to establish and monitor the credit risk of the Company. The risk management procedures define the credit principles, lending policies and the decision making processes which control the credit risk of the Company. The Board of Directors and management receive reports on a monthly basis to monitor and supervise the past due loans in the portfolio, as well as economic forecasts, and ensures credit procedures are adhered to on a timely and accurate basis. Exposure to credit risk Credit risk exists predominantly on the Group’s loan portfolio. The loan portfolio consists of mortgage lending, personal lending and commercial lending. Loan commitments and bank guarantees are off-balance sheet exposures of the loan portfolio, which are also subject to credit risk. These groupings, by product type, have been assessed as reflecting similar performance behaviours, based on the Group’s analysis of its loan portfolio. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date in relation to each class of financial asset is the carrying amount of those assets as recognised on the balance sheet. In relation to off-balance sheet loan commitments, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum committed amount as per terms of the agreement. The maximum credit risk exposure does not take into account the value of any security held or the value of any mortgage or other insurance to mitigate the risk exposure. Other assets that are subject to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, amounts due from other financial institutions, receivables, certificates of deposit, securitisation notes and deposits, loan commitments and bank guarantees. Minimising credit risk Credit risk on cash, cash equivalents and amounts due from other financial institutions have been assessed as low risk with a negligible probability of default, due to amounts being invested with investment grade credit institutions with a no loss history. Credit risk on certificates of deposit is assessed as low and probability of default negligible. Risk is minimised by using clearly defined policies for investment grade rated credit institutions, combined with the current economic outlook and on the basis of no prior losses in the Group’s history on these investments. External securitised notes are subject to low credit risk and negligible probability of default due to securitisation trusts having a structure that utilises an excess income reserve to absorb any losses, reducing the risk of note balances being affected. The securitisation deposits are made with investment grade rated credit institutions. Credit risk on mortgage lending is minimised by the availability and application of insurances including lenders’ mortgage insurance, property insurance and mortgage protection insurance. Credit risk in the mortgage loan portfolio is managed by generally protecting all loans in excess of 80% LVR with one of the recognised mortgage insurers and securing the loans by first mortgages on residential property. This excludes loans issued under the federal government’s First Home Loan Deposit Scheme by National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC). The scheme provides a guarantee for any loan monies above 80% LVR. The Group minimises concentrations of credit risk in relation to loans receivable by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers principally within the states of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. Diversification of the mortgage portfolio assists in minimising credit risk by reducing security concentrations in particular geographic locations. Credit risk on personal lending is minimised by the availability of consumer credit insurance, as well as the lending policies and processes in place. 90 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 Commercial lending credit risk is minimised requiring collateral as security, which is mostly residential property, in addition to the use of bank guarantees in some circumstances. The risk management policies and decision making procedures also aid in minimising credit risk on commercial exposures. Off-balance sheet loan commitments and bank guarantees are also subject to credit risk, which is minimised by following credit guidelines for issuing credit, as well as monitoring and following review processes for exposures in relation to bank guarantees and undrawn credit. Additional provisions The Group has recognised an additional provision of $0.5 million to cater for volatility in the economic forecasts and other emerging risks including rising inflation and interest rates. 4.5.1 Sources of credit risk Key sources of credit risk for the Group predominantly emanate from its business activities including loans and advances to customers, debt investments, loan commitments, etc. The Group monitors and manages credit risk by class of financial instrument. The table below outlines such classes of financial instruments identified, their relevant financial statement line item, maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date and expected credit loss recognised.

All other items measured at amortised cost have been assessed as immaterial for ECL purposes in both the current and comparative periods. ECLs are required to be measured through a loss allowance at an amount equal to: > 12-month ECL, i.e. lifetime ECL that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date, (referred to as stage 1); or > lifetime ECL, i.e. lifetime ECL that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument, (referred to as stage 2 and stage 3). A loss allowance for full lifetime ECL is required for a financial instrument if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. For all other financial instruments, ECLs are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECL. Definition of default The Group considers the following as constituting an event of default: > the borrower is past due more than 90 days on any material credit obligation to the Group; or > the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full. The definition of default is appropriately tailored to reflect different characteristics of different types of assets. Overdrafts are considered as being past due once the customer has breached an advised limit or has been advised of a limit smaller than the current amount outstanding. When assessing if the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligation, the Group takes into account both qualitative and quantitative indicators. The information assessed depends on the type of the asset, for example in corporate lending a qualitative indicator used is the breach of covenants, which is not relevant for retail lending. Quantitative indicators, such as overdue status and non-payment on another obligation of the same counterparty are key inputs in this analysis. Repayment deferral availed by the borrowers as a result of COVID-19 does not in itself constitute a default or credit impairment event unless the exposure meets the above criteria. Write off Loans and advances and debt securities are written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset (either in its entirety or a portion of it). This is the case when the Group determines that the borrower does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. The Group may apply enforcement activities to financial assets written off. Recoveries resulting from the Group’s enforcement activities will result in impairment gains. Key estimates and judgements Significant increase in credit risk ECL are measured as an allowance equal to 12-month ECL for stage 1 assets, or lifetime ECL assets for stage 2 or stage 3 assets. An asset moves to stage 2 when its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. AASB 9 does not define what constitutes a significant increase in credit risk. In assessing whether the credit risk of an asset has significantly increased the Group takes into account qualitative and quantitative reasonable and supportable forward-looking information. Repayment deferral availed by the borrowers as a result of COVID-19 does not in itself constitute a significant increase in credit risk unless the exposure meets the above criteria. Models and assumptions used The Group uses various models and assumptions in measuring fair value of financial assets as well as in estimating ECL. Judgement is applied in identifying the most appropriate model for each type of asset, as well as for determining the assumptions used in these models, including assumptions that relate to key drivers of credit risk. 92 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 Forward looking scenarios When measuring ECL the Group uses reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, which is based on assumptions for the future movement of different economic drivers and how these drivers will affect each other. Probability of default (PD) PD constitutes a key input in measuring ECL. PD is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon, the calculation of which includes historical data, assumptions and expectations of future conditions. Loss Given Default (LGD) LGD is an estimate of the loss arising on default. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, taking into account cash flows from collateral and integral credit enhancements. 4.5.2 Measurement of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) The key inputs used for measuring ECL are: > probability of default (PD); > loss given default (LGD); and > exposure at default (EAD). These figures are derived from internally developed statistical models and other historical data and they are adjusted to reflect probability-weighted forward-looking information. PD is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. It is estimated as at a point in time. The Group has developed a PD model for loans and advances based on the likelihood of a default event occurring within the next 12 months, based on the current status of each loan. A lifetime PD is also computed where appropriate. Historical data on loan behaviours is captured to enable projections on loans going into default. This provides statistical data that is used in the PD model for calculating the probability of default. LGD is an estimate of the loss arising on default. The Group has developed a single LGD model, which includes judgements and estimates based on industry statistics and historical performance of the Bank’s portfolio. Given the Group’s loan portfolio, market data on LGDs of other institutions has also been applied in management’s assessment of LGD. EAD is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in the exposure after the reporting date, including repayments and principal and interest, and expected drawdowns on committed facilities. The Group has developed a single EAD model to cover all applicable loan exposures. The Group measures ECL considering the risk of default over the maximum contractual period (including extension options) over which the entity is exposed to credit risk and not a longer period. The risk of default is assessed by considering historical data as well as forward-looking information through a macroeconomic overlay and management judgement. The Group’s risk function constantly monitors the ongoing appropriateness of the ECL model and related criteria, where any proposed amendments will be reviewed and approved by the Group’s management committees. Incorporation of forward-looking information The Group uses forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort in its assessment of significant increase of credit risk as well as in its measurement of ECL. The Group uses this information to generate a ‘base case’ scenario of future forecast of relevant economic variables along with a representative range of other possible forecast scenarios. The Group applies probabilities to the forecast scenarios identified. The base case scenario is the single most-likely outcome and consists of information used by the Group for strategic planning and budgeting. The Group has identified and documented key drivers of credit risk and credit losses for each lending portfolio using a statistical analysis of historical data and has estimated relationships between macroeconomic variables, credit risk and credit losses. The principal macroeconomic indicators included in the economic scenarios used are GDP, GDP index, GDP index change and unemployment. Management have derived that GDP has economic correlations to inflation and unemployment, which generally have a corresponding impact on loan performance. Scenarios are compiled 93 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 using APRA quarterly statistics and ADI Performance Statistics for losses data, ABS statistics for GDP, CPI (as proxy for GDP index) and unemployment rates, along with forecast reports from the market. The base case scenario is derived from forecasted changes to GDP, CPI and unemployment rates, using management’s judgement. Adjustments to these forecasts are made to develop a further two scenarios for less likely but plausible economic expectations. A weighting is applied to each scenario, based on management’s judgement as to the probability of each scenario occurring. These economic forecasts are then applied to a statistical model to determine the macroeconomic effects on the expected loss allowance on the lending portfolios. The incorporation of forward-looking information on the assessment of ECL on other assets required to be assessed for impairment is a qualitative approach. A range of economic outlooks, from an economist, the RBA and OECD, have been considered in making an assessment of whether there are economic forecasts that would indicate a potential impairment on the assets being assessed. Sensitivity analysis and forward-looking information The following table shows the reported ECL based on the probability weighting of scenarios, with the sensitivity range reflecting the ECL impacts assuming a 100% weighting is applied to the base case scenario, the downside scenario or the severe downside scenario (with all other assumptions held constant). As at 30 June 2022, the probability weighted ECL is a blended outcome taking into consideration the respective scenarios. The base case scenario incorporates a reasonable level of portfolio stress driven by forecast macroeconomic factors, including potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as Australia responds to COVID-19. Scenario Reported ECL 100% base case ECL Jun 22 $m 4,818 Macroeconomic forecast 4,531 Includes a reasonable level of portfolio stress. By the end of 2022 the unemployment rate is expected to 3.3% with minor deterioration beyond that. Unemployment is forecast to be 3.5% by the end of 2023. Forecast GDP growth of 4%, with further contraction possible due to tightening monetary policies to tackle significant inflation pressures. 100% downside 5,171 Assumes a moderate but reasonable level of portfolio stress. 100% severe downside 6,041 Assumes a more severe and prolonged downturn including elevated levels of unemployment and GDP decline. Assumptions The following table summarises the key judgements and assumptions in relation to the model 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. Accordingly, the Group’s ECL estimates are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results may differ from these estimates. 94 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 Judgement/ Assumption Description Changes and considerations during the year ended 30 June 2022 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. Unemployment improved as the local economy recovered from the detrimental impacts of COVID-19. 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 revalidation and defines approval procedures and authorities according to model materiality. There were no material changes to the policies during the year ended 30 June 2022. Base case economic forecast The Group derives a forward-looking “base case” economic scenario which reflects Auswide’s view of the most likely future macroeconomic conditions. Probability weighting of each scenario (base case, downside and severe downside scenarios) Probability weighting of each scenario is determined by management considering the risks and uncertainties surrounding the base case scenario. Management overlays Management overlays to the ECL allowance are used where it is judged that existing inputs, assumptions and model techniques do not adequately capture the risk factors in the lending portfolio. There have been no changes to the types of forward-looking variables (key economic drivers) used as model inputs in the current year. Management have assessed the weightings applied to the downside and severe downside scenarios and determined that these remained appropriate. An overlay for model error risk continues to be applied. In assessing the potential impacts of inflation pressures, management have applied an additional overlay, increasing the ECL, allowing for the increased uncertainty in future economic conditions. 95 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 Significant increase in credit risk The Group monitors all financial assets that are subject to impairment requirements to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk the Group will measure the expected loss allowance based on lifetime rather than 12-month ECL. The Group has used the assumption that 30 days past due represents significant increase in credit risk. The Group considers 90 days past due as representative of a default having occurred and a loan being credit impaired. The Group has identified the following three stages in which financial instruments have been classified in regards to credit risk; > stage 1 - performing exposure on which loss allowance is recognised as 12 month expected credit loss; > stage 2 - where credit risk has increased significantly and impairment loss is recognised as lifetime expected credit loss; and > stage 3 - assets are credit impaired and impairment loss is recognised as lifetime expected credit loss. Interest is accrued on a net basis, on the amortised cost of the loans after the ECL is deducted. The table below shows analysis of each class of financial asset subject to impairment requirements by stage at the reporting date.

The change in fair value due to credit risk for the MISs designated at FVTPL is $0.677m for the year (2021: $1.013m). The Group uses the performance of the portfolio to determine the change in fair value attributable to changes in credit risk of its MISs designated at FVTPL. 4.5.9 Equity instruments classified at FVTOCI The maximum exposure to credit risk of the equity instrument designated at FVTOCI is their carrying amount. 4.5.10 Analysis of financial instrument by days past due status Under the Group’s monitoring procedures a significant increase in credit risk is identified before the exposure has defaulted and at the latest when the exposure becomes 30 days past due.

The Group monitors its exposure to retail mortgage lending using the LVR (loan to value ratio), which is calculated as the ratio of the gross amount of the loan to the value of the collateral. The valuation of the collateral excludes any adjustments for obtaining and selling the collateral. The value of the collateral for residential mortgage loans is typically based on the collateral value at origination. For credit-impaired loans the value of collateral is based on the most recent appraisals. Subsequent appraisals are performed on securities held for credit-impaired loans, to more closely monitor the Group’s exposure. The Group will take possession of security property in line with its MIP (mortgagee in possession) policy and any loss resulting from subsequent sale will be recorded as an expense, resulting in a reduction in any provision that was held for that exposure. There are also procedures in place for the recovery of bad debts written off; debt recovery processes are performed internally as well as through the use of third parties. The table below shows the exposures from mortgage loans by ranges of LVR. Disclosures on a Company basis have not been separately disclosed as the amounts do not differ materially from those of the Consolidated entity.

Personal lending The Group’s personal lending portfolio consists of secured and unsecured term loans and unsecured credit cards. For loans with a purpose of purchasing vehicles and the like, the vehicle can be used as security for a secured personal loan, if acceptable under the applicable lending policy. The personal lending portfolio exhibits similar traits and behaviours regardless of whether the loan is secured or unsecured. Commercial lending The Group requests collateral, which is usually in the form of residential property, as security for corporate lending. Bank guarantees are also used at times, which utilise cash, residential or commercial mortgages as security. The table below shows the exposures from commercial loans by ranges of LVR.

Accounting policies Fair value measurements The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e. unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date. As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to characteristics of the specific asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market with greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs). For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant’s ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. In measuring fair value, the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified, into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are received at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The categories are as follows: > level 1 - measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date, > level 2 - measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and > level 3 - measurement based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all significant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in level 2. If one or more significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in level 3. 104 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 4.6.2 Reconciliation of level 3 fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities FVTOCI Unlisted shares FVTPL Managed investment schemes Consolidated entity Balance at beginning of year Total gains or losses: - in profit or loss - in other comprehensive income Purchases Disposals 2022 $’000 918 - - - - 2021 $’000 918 - - - Balance at end of year 918 918 2022 $’000 37,424 1,605 - 7,750 (19,922) 26,857 2021 $’000 60,613 2,789 - 2,000 (27,978) 37,424 FVTOCI Unlisted shares FVTPL Managed investment schemes Company Balance at beginning of year Total gains or losses: - in profit or loss - in other comprehensive income Purchases Disposals 2022 $’000 918 - - - - 2021 $’000 918 - - - - Balance at end of year 918 918 2022 $’000 37,424 1,605 - 7,750 (19,922) 26,857 2021 $’000 60,613 2,789 - 2,000 (27,978) 37,424 4.6.3 Financial instruments not measured at fair value The following table provides an analysis of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value.

When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priorities to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and that reflect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable. For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is determined to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. The fair value of liabilities and the entity’s own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such financial instrument, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held in assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and where significant, are detailed in the respective note to the financial statements. The Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of sufficient and relevant data primarily depends on the specific characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the economic entity are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches: > market approach - valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions for identical or similar assets or liabilities; > income approach - valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash flows or income and expenses into a single discounted present value; and > cost approach - valuation techniques that reflect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity. 106 Auswide Bank NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 5.

Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method of accounting from the date on which the investee becomes an associate. The financial statements of the associate are used by the Group to apply the equity method. The reporting dates and accounting policies of the associate have been aligned to that of the Group where necessary. Investments in an associate are carried in the consolidated and parent entity statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate, less any impairment in value. The consolidated and parent entity profit or loss reflects the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the associate’s equity, the Group recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated and parent entity statement of changes in equity. Summarised financial information in respect of FAMG is set out below. The summarised financial information below represents amounts shown in the FAMG’s financial statements prepared in accordance with AASBs.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. KKeeyy AAuuddiitt MMaatttteerr IImmppaaiirrmmeenntt ooff llooaannss aanndd aaddvvaanncceess As at 30 June 2022, the Group has recognised a loss allowance for Expected Credit Losses (ECL) amounting to $4.8m on loans and advances held at amortised cost in accordance with AASB 9 Financial Instruments as disclosed in Note 4.5.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. When we read the Chairman’s Report, Managing Director’s Report, Corporate Governance Summary and Shareholder Information, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the directors and use our professional judgement to determine the appropriate action.

In preparing the financial reports, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group and the Company to continue as going concerns, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. AAuuddiittoorr’’ss RReessppoonnssiibbiilliittiieess ffoorr tthhee AAuuddiitt ooff tthhee FFiinnaanncciiaall RReeppoorrttss Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial reports as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial reports. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • • • • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial reports, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group or the Company’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group or the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial reports or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our 118 Auswide Bank INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF AUSWIDE BANK LTD Page 5 26 August 2022 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Company to cease to continue as going concerns. • • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial reports, including the disclosures, and whether the financial reports represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Group financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
