Introducing 
Heartland 
Bank

On 17th December 2012, we achieved 
our key objective of bank registration. 
Heartland Bank became the only New 
Zealand operated, controlled and managed 
banking group with a parent company listed 
on the New Zealand stock exchange.   We 
are a bank with a rich kiwi heritage and a 
strong commitment to New Zealand – this 
is our home.  We are dedicated to the 
success of the productive sector, small to 
medium enterprises, farmers and families 
the length of New Zealand. It is amongst 
these heartland communities, critical to the 
economic prosperity of our nation, that we 
want to be of service. Our name symbolises 
our close connection with our communities, 
our customers and our land.

Demonstrating 
Our Difference

We want to be known as New Zealand’s 
specialist bank. By delivering specialised, 
best-in-breed products that dominate our 
chosen niches, we will help our customers 
where it really matters. When other banks 
offer standard rural mortgages or business 
loans secured on property, we’ve developed 
loans secured against livestock, or against the 
plant and machinery assets being purchased. 
Thanks to our motor vehicle finance, over 
16,000 New Zealanders and over 6,500 
businesses purchased their own car last year. 

So whether it’s a retiree looking to make 
their savings work hard, a farmer managing 

the pressures of seasonal income, or a small 
business owner wanting easier access to their 
money, we offer stand-out products designed 
to make it easier for them.   

This strategy is already working for us. Over 
the last financial year our specialist product 
focus resulted in: 

•	 Our	newly	launched	Business	Call	Account	

attracting over $115m in deposits

•	 Invoice	Finance	growth	of	over	70%

•	 Livestock	Finance	and	Rural	Seasonal	

Capital	growing	by	10%	and	9%	
respectively

•	 Motor	Vehicle	Finance	growth	of	nearly	14%

•	 Net	Operating	Income	growth	of	$12m	or	13%

Our products and commitment to service 
excellence have already gained independent 
endorsement from financial products 
research company, Canstar. The Heartland 
Saver, Heartland Everyday Account and 
Heartland Business Call Account, have all 
been awarded the Five Star ‘Outstanding 
Value’	award	in	their	category.	

Strong communities are the backbone of our 
productive economy, and locally, our people 
are at the heart of the communities we serve.  
From school sports to small businesses, 
from farming  to artists, we are committed to 
strengthening our communities and developing 
the leaders of the future. 

We are Heartland Bank – proud to be different.

“Heartland will continue to be 
New Zealand focussed and is part 
of a new breed of banks”

Supporting our Communities

“ Rugby at MAGS has challenged me to not only be the 

best I can but through rugby it has taught me life skills 
of commitment, perseverance and the meaning of team 
work. The rugby environment has also challenged me to be 
a better person and continually asks me to contribute to 
the excellence that is demanded by all the players. 
It has helped me learn about being focussed at all times 
and how to cope with pressure.”
Mount	Albert	Grammar	School	(MAGS),	1st	XV

“The Citizens Club is a lovely place to come. Everything is 

here for us, I don’t know what I’d do without it.”
Mrs J Tait (patron) Tauranga Citizens Club

“ Playing rugby means a great deal to our school and our 

community. Education and student achievement is at the 
forefront of the work we are doing at Tangaroa College and 
for the boys that are in the 1A 1st XV, the rugby programme 
contributes and enhances the education and opportunity 
for student achievement.”

“ Knowing that our money is being looked after is important 

to us. Feeling that we are being looked after too is a 
wonderful bonus.”

Jeffrey Greenslade 
Managing Director

This has been a significant year for Heartland.  As well as 
realising our key objective – to become a New Zealand 
owned and controlled banking group with its parent 
company listed on the NZX1 – we have also undertaken a 
significant number of strategic initiatives to consolidate 
and build a pathway to the future.

Breakdown of financial 
performance

•	

For	the	full	year	ended	30	June	2013,	we	
announced a net profit after tax (NPAT) of 
$6.9m.		This	was	in	line	with	expectation,	
but	down	$16.7m	from	the	$23.6m	for	the	
previous	year	ended	30	June	2012.	The	
result was impacted by measures taken with 
the non-core property asset portfolio that 
we	announced	in	June	2013	and	are	detailed	
on	page	9.	If	this	adjustment	had	not	been	
made then Adjusted NPAT would have been 
$24.4m	(Adjusted	NPAT	is	calculated	by	
adding back one-off non-cash expenses 
incurred as a result of the change in strategy 
to the headline result). The original forecast 
NPAT	guidance	for	2013	was	$21-$24m.		

Net profit before tax (NPBT)	was	$9.4m	for	
the	full	year	ended	30	June	2013,	down	from	
$20.3m	NPBT	for	the	previous	year	ended 
30	June	2012.		

Adjusted NPBT for the year ended 
30	June	2013	was	$33.7m,	an	increase 
of	$13.4m	over	the	previous	year	ended 
30	June	2012	and	illustrating	the	
improvements in underlying business 
performance. Adjusted NPBT is calculated 
by	excluding	the	one-off	expenses	of	$24.3m	
(pre-tax) incurred as a result of the change 
in strategy with respect to the non-core 
legacy property asset portfolio (which 
included termination of the management 
agreement	with	Real	Estate	Credit	Limited	
(RECL)	announced	5	June	2013)	(Change in 
Strategy)2. Earnings Per Share was $0.02 
based on weighted average shares on issue.

Balance sheet3

Heartland’s total assets increased by 
$156.5m	or	7%	over	the	full	year	ended 
30	June	2013	(from	$2.3bn	at	30	June	2012	
to	$2.5bn	at	30	June	2013).

There	was	a	$76.1m	increase	in	the	
“core” business net finance receivables 
(Business, Rural and Consumer 
channels). However, due to a reduction 
in non-core assets of legacy property 
and retail mortgages, net finance 
receivables	reduced	in	total	by	$67.9m	
(from	$2.1bn	at	30	June	2012	to	$2.0bn	
at	30	June	2013).

•	 Cash	and	cash	equivalents	and	

investments increased by $225.5m 
(from	$114.0m	at	30	June	2012	to	
$339.5m	at	30	June	2013)	reflecting 
a change to holding higher levels 
of liquid assets to support ongoing 
liquidity targets. 

•	

Borrowings,	being	largely	retail	
deposits,	increased	by	$158.1m	(from	
$1.9bn	at	30	June	2012	to	$2.1bn	at 
30	June	2013),	funding	asset	growth.

Heartland’s Net Tangible Assets (NTA) 
decreased by $12.5m over the full year 
ended	30	June	2013	(from	$343.7m	at 
30	June	2012	to	$331.2m	at	30	June	2013)	
due to the one-off non-cash write-down in 
property	assets	by	$18m	(pre-tax)	on	the	
Change in Strategy. On a per share basis 
NTA	was	$0.85	at	30	June	2013	compared	
to	$0.88	at	30	June	2012.

Net Operating Income 

Net Operating Income (NOI)	was	$106.9m	
for	the	full	year	ended	30	June	2013,	an	
increase	of	$12m	or	13%	from	the	previous	
year	ended	30	June	2012.	The	increase	in	
NOI was attributable to lower cost of funds 
and improved product mix.

Costs

Operating	costs	were	$70.3m	for	the	full	year	
ended	30	June	2013,	an	increase	of	$4.8m	
from	the	previous	year	ended	30	June	2012.	
However, operating costs for the full year 

PG 8 / Annual Report 2013 / Heartland New Zealand Limited

1	 Heartland	Bank	became	a	registered	bank	on	17	December	2012,	and	converted	to	a	company	on	31	January	2013.		The	corporatisation	process	
included	a	change	in	Heartland	Bank’s	name	from	its	previous	name	“Heartland	Building	Society”	to	its	current	name	“Heartland	Bank	Limited”.

2.		For	details	of	the	Change	in	Strategy,	see	Heartland’s	market	announcement	of	5	June	2013.
3.	Heartland	Trust	and	CBS	Canterbury	Charitable	Trust	were	deconsolidated	on	1	July	2012.

ended	30	June	2013	include	$6.1m	of	
prepaid expenses written-off as a result of 
the Change in Strategy4. Adjusted operating 
costs (calculated by excluding expenses 
related to the Change in Strategy) were 
down	$1.5m	(2%)	from	the	full	year	ended	
30	June	2012.		

The	operating	expense	ratio	was	66%	
for	the	full	year	ended	30	June	2013,	a	
reduction	from	69%	for	the	previous	
year	ended	30	June	2012.	The	adjusted	
operating expense ratio (calculated by 
excluding the write-off of the expenses 
referred	to	above)	was	60%	for	the	full 
year	ended	30	June	2013.

Impairments and revaluations of 
investment properties 

Impaired asset expense was $22.5m for the 
full	year	ended	30	June	2013,	an	increase	of	
$16.9m	from	the	previous	year	ended 
30	June	2012.	This	increase	was	primarily	in	
the Non-Core Property division and included 
an	impairment	expense	of	$12.9m	made	as	
part of the Change in Strategy5. Impairments 
remained low in the core areas of Business, 
Rural and Consumer lending.

As part of the Change in Strategy a $5.1m 
fair value adjustment was also made 
against investment properties5.

Asset quality continues to improve with 
net impaired, restructured and past due 
loans	over	90	days	standing	at	$49.0m	
or	2.4%	of	net	finance	receivables	(Net 
Impairment Ratio)	as	at	30	June	2013;	
down	from	$90.5m	(or	4.4%	of	net	finance	
receivables)	as	at	30	June	2012.	The	Non-
Core	Property	book	made	up	$31.2m	of	the	
impaired, restructured and past due loans 
at	30	June	2013.

The Net Impairment Ratio on the core 
business (excluding the Non-Core Property 
book)	was	0.9%	as	at	30	June	2013,	
compared	to	1.3%	as	at	30	June	2012.

Funding and liquidity

Deposits increased from $1.6bn at 
30	June	2012	to	$1.8bn	at	30	June	2013.	
This increase was driven by a positive 
customer reaction to the achievement of 
bank registration and subsequent product 
initiatives in retail deposit products of 
Heartland	Bank	Limited	(Heartland Bank) 
(Heartland’s principal operating subsidiary).

The liquidity of Heartland Bank was 
$578.0m	as	at	30	June	2013,	which	
consisted of cash, liquid assets and 
unutilised available funding lines. This 
included additional liquidity held pending 
the $106m repayment of NZX Debt Market 
quoted	bonds	on	15	July	2013.	The	liquidity	
mix continues to evolve, with increased 
holdings of cash and liquid assets replacing 
unutilised or cancelled bank funding lines.  

Investment grade rating reaffirmed

On	16	May	2013	Standard	&	Poor’s	affirmed	
Heartland Bank’s investment grade 
credit rating of BBB- and as a result of its 
assessment of New Zealand’s economic 
vulnerabilities changed the outlook to 
‘negative’ from ‘stable’.

Business Performance – 
Heartland’s Core 
Business Divisions

Business

Primarily driven by lower cost of funds, NOI 
increased	to	$25.7m,	up	$4.7m	(22%)	from	
the	previous	year	ended	30	June	2012.	

The business receivables book increased by 
$8.9m	to	$549.2m	during	the	year	ended 
30	June	2013.	Continued	growth	is	expected	
in line with credit growth expectations.

Rural

NOI	increased	to	$22.9m,	up	$3.7m	(20%)	
from	the	previous	year	ended	30	June	2012.	
This was driven by the inclusion of a full 
twelve months earnings from the PGG 
Wrightson	Finance	Limited	(PWF) book as 
well as lower cost of funds. 

Due	to	the	settlement	of	$23.2m	of	recourse	
loans	by	PGG	Wrightson	Limited	under	a	
guarantee provided to Heartland Bank as 
part of the acquisition of PWF, the rural 
receivables	book	contracted	from	$478.6m 
to	$456.6m	during	the	full	year	ended 
30	June	2013.	Excluding	these	loans,	the 
Rural book increased slightly over the year 
despite the impact of the recent drought 
resulting in lower demand in livestock trading.

Retail & Consumer

Growth in motor vehicle lending, along with 
lower cost of funds, resulted in an increase 

of	NOI	to	$50.2m,	up	$5.1m	(11%)	from	the	
previous	year	ended	30	June	2012.	

The Retail & Consumer receivables book was 
flat	over	the	full	year	ended	30	June	2013,	
with motor vehicle receivables growth of 
$89.0m	(14%)	offset	by	an	$88.4m	(27%)	
reduction in the residential mortgage book.

The reduction in the residential mortgage 
book	reflects	Heartland	Bank’s	strategy	to	
focus on its core activities in Business, Rural 
and Consumer lending, replacing lower 
margin business with higher margin business 
which offers a better risk/return. As previously 
announced, Heartland Bank has entered into 
an exclusive arrangement with Kiwibank under 
which Heartland Bank customers can now 
access Kiwibank’s market leading residential 
mortgage products.

Non-core Business

Property

Total legacy non-core property assets 
were	$107.4m	at	30	June	2013,	a	reduction	
of	$52.7m	(33%)	from	30	June	2012.	The	
non-core property assets were made up of 
net	receivables	of	$49.1m	and	investment	
properties	of	$58.3m.

The reduction included the impact of the one-off 
non-cash	write	down	of	$18m	(pre-tax)	due	
to the Change in Strategy. The new strategy 
provides	Heartland	with	greater	flexibility	to	
manage the portfolio and to best balance an 
exit strategy with maximising shareholder 
value. Heartland is confident earnings will 
now normalise, and no longer be impacted 
by the performance of the non-core legacy 
property assets. 

Investment properties held on balance 
sheet	increased	by	$2.8m	during	the	full	
year	ended	30	June	2013.	This	increase	
was the result of additional assets received 
as	part	of	the	termination	of	the	RECL	
management agreement, offset by the 
$5.1m fair value adjustment made as part 
of the Change in Strategy.

Non-core property assets fell a further 
$8.9m	in	July	2013	through	realisations,	
subsequent to balance date pursuant to the 
Change in Strategy.

4	 Specifically,	the	termination	of	the	RECL	management	agreement	as	part	of	that	Change	in	Strategy.
5.	As	part	of	the	one-off	non-cash	write	down	in	property	assets	by	$18m	(pre-tax)	on	the	Change	in	Strategy.

Final Dividend

The directors of Heartland have resolved to 
pay a final dividend for the full year ended 
30	June	2013	of	2.5	cents	per	share.	This	
dividend	will	be	paid	on	4	October	2013	
to shareholders who were on Heartland’s 
register	at	5.00pm	on	20	September	2013	
(the Record Date). This dividend will be 
fully imputed.  

The Dividend Reinvestment Plan announced 
on	23	April	2013	(DRP) was available, and a 
discount	of	2.5%	applied	(that	is,	the	strike	
price	under	the	DRP	was	97.5%	of	the	volume	
weighted average sale price of Heartland 
shares over the five trading days following 
the Record Date)6. Participation in the DRP 
was entirely optional, and shareholders who 
wished to participate in the DRP for any future 
dividend payments made a participation 
election in one of the ways specified in the 
DRP offer document. The last date of receipt 
for a participation election from a shareholder 
who wished to participate in the DRP was 
20	September	2013.

The Future

We have now completed the ‘start-up’ 
phase of our strategy and are entering a 
phase of ‘Business As Usual’ environment 
where we also complete the alignment of 
activity and investment with our strategy. 

Our strategy is simple.  We want to be 
known as New Zealand’s specialist bank.

We will continue to be dedicated to the 
drivers of prosperity and productivity, with 
a balanced focus across our key sectors 
of Business, Rural and Consumer. Within 
these sectors we will apply our agility and 
ability to identify niche areas in which 
we can lead with superior, high-income, 

low contestability products – products 
that must support the essential needs of 
productive New Zealanders. Our result for 
the	full	year	to	30	June	2013	demonstrates	
that the strategic model works. We 
have made a good start, focusing on 
our key areas of expertise – processing, 
distribution and products – but to build 
on this foundation we must improve our 
product mix in order to realise a No.1. or 
No.2. position in these markets. Targeting 
growth in high value products will offset our 
expectation that credit growth will remain 
largely constrained. 

Alongside changes and enhancements in 
our business performance, we also plan 
further improvements in our operational 
performance by further reductions in our 
cost of funds and operating cost. However, 
we do expect this to be nominal and more 
relative to a cost/income ratio as the 
mergers of our legacy operating systems 
reach fruition.

Profit guidance for the next financial year 
(ending	30	June	2014)	is	for	forecast	NPAT	
of	$34m-$37m.

Corporate 
Governance

The Board and management of Heartland 
New	Zealand	Limited	(the	Company) are 
committed to ensuring that the Company 
maintains corporate governance practices 
in line with current best practice.

The Board has established policies and 
protocols which comply with the corporate 
governance requirements of the NZSX 
Listing	Rules	and	which	are	consistent	
with the principles contained in the NZX 
Corporate Governance Best Practice Code.

This governance statement outlines the main 
corporate governance practices applied by 
the	Company	as	at	30	June	2013.	During	the	
year the Board reviewed and assessed the 
Company’s governance structure to confirm 
that its governance practices are consistent 
with best practice.  The Board considers it 
has complied with the NZX Corporate 
Governance Best Practice Code for the 
year	ended	30	June	2013.

This	section	of	the	Annual	Report	reflects	
the requirements of the New Zealand 
Securities Commission’s Governance 
Principles and Guidelines. The Company’s 
Constitution, and Board and Committee 
charters are available on the Company’s 
website, www.heartland.co.nz.

Principle 1 
– Ethical Standards

The Company expects its directors and staff 
to act honestly and in good faith, and in the 
best interests of the Company at all times.  
They must act with the care, diligence and 
skill expected of a director or staff member 
of a company that has shares that are 
publicly traded on the NZX Main Board and 
has subsidiaries that issue securities and 
accept funds from the general public.

Directors and staff are required to act 
honestly and fairly in all dealings with 
the Company’s shareholders, customers, 
investors and service providers.

Each director and staff member has an 
obligation, at all times, to comply with 
the spirit as well as the letter of the 
law, to comply with the principles of the 
Company’s Code of Conduct, the Directors’ 

Code of Conduct and the Company’s 
Constitution, and to exhibit a high standard 
of ethical behaviour.

The Company’s Code of Conduct covers, 
among other things:

•	

•	

receipt	and	use	of	Company	assets 
and property

receipt	and	use	of	Company	
information

•	

conflicts	of	interest

All	directors	and	officers	of	the	Company	
are required to obtain consent before 
buying or selling shares in the Company 
and to certify that their decision to buy or 
sell shares has not been made on the basis 
of inside information. The Company’s Code 
of Conduct and Directors’ Code of Conduct 
are available on the Company’s website, 
www.heartland.co.nz.

Principle 2 
– Board Composition 
and Performance

Role of the Board

The Board of Directors is responsible for 
corporate governance and the Company’s 
overall direction. The Board establishes 
objectives, strategies and an overall policy 
framework within which the business is 
conducted. Day-to-day management is 
delegated	to	the	Chief	Executive	Officer.		
The Board regularly monitors and reviews 
management’s performance in carrying out 
their delegated duties.

The Board schedules monthly meetings.  
In	the	year	ended	30	June	2013,	the	Board	
met 11 times.

Board Membership, Size  
and Composition

The	NZSX	Listing	Rules	provide	that	the	
number of directors must not be fewer than 
three. Subject to this limitation, the size of 
the Board is determined from time to time 
by the Board.

As	at	30	June	2013,	the	Board	comprised	
seven directors, being a non-executive 
Chairman, the Managing Director and five 
non-executive directors.1

1	 With	the	change	in	board	structure	on	27	August	2013,	the	Board	now	comprises	six	directors,	being	a	non-executive	Chairman,	the	Managing	

Director and four non-executive directors.

PG 16 / Annual Report 2013 / Heartland New Zealand Limited

A director is appointed by ordinary 
resolution of the shareholders, although 
the Board may fill a casual vacancy, in 
which case the appointed director retires 
at the next Annual Meeting but is eligible 
for re-election. Nominations for election 
as a director may be made by shareholders 
up until a closing date, which must not be 
more than two months before the date of 
the Annual Meeting.

Independence of Directors

A director is considered to be independent 
if that director is not an executive of the 
Company and if the director has no direct 
or indirect interest or relationship that 
could	reasonably	influence,	in	a	material	
way, the director’s decisions in relation to 
the Company.

As	at	30	June	2013,	the	Board	determined	
that	G	R	Kennedy,	B	R	Irvine,	G	R	Leech,	
C R Mace and G T Ricketts were the 
independent directors.

Board Performance Assessment

The Board undertakes a regular review 
of its own, its committees’ and 
individual directors’ performance. This 
is to ensure it has the right composition 
and appropriate skills, qualifications, 
experience and background to effectively 
govern the Company and monitor the 
Company’s performance in the interests of 
shareholders.

The last review was undertaken during May 
and	June	2013.

Principle 3 
– Board Committees

Board Committees

The Board has three permanently 
constituted committees to assist the Board 
by working with management in specific 
areas of responsibility and then reporting 
their findings and recommendations back 
to the Board.  Each of these committees 
has terms of reference which set out the 
committee’s objectives, membership, 
procedures and responsibilities. 

Details are available on the Company’s 
website, www.heartland.co.nz.

Other ad hoc Board committees are 
established for specific purposes from 
time to time.

Senior Executive Remuneration

The objective is to provide competitive 
remuneration that aligns executives’ 
remuneration with shareholder value and 
rewards the executives’ achievement of the 
Company’s strategies and business plans.

All senior executives receive a base salary 
and are also on short-term and long-term 
incentive plans under which they are 
rewarded for achieving key performance 
and operating results.

Principle 6 
– Risk Management

The Board ensures that the Company has 
processes in place to identify and manage 
risk in the business. The three main types 
of risk identified are operational, business 
and market risks. Specific risk management 
strategies have been developed for each 
of these areas. The Risk Committee of 
the Board oversees the risk management 
strategy. The Company also has in place 
insurance cover for insurable liability and 
general business risk.

Principle 7 
– Auditors

The Audit Committee is responsible for 
overseeing the external, independent audit 
of the Company’s financial statements. 
The Audit Committee ensures that the 
level of non-audit work undertaken 
by the auditors does not jeopardise 
their independence. The Company also 
has an internal audit function which is 
independent of the external auditors. 
The Audit Committee approves the annual 
audit programme, which is developed in 
consultation with management of 
the Company.

Principle 8

The Board is committed to maintaining a full 
and open dialogue with all shareholders.

highest standards are maintained in

and timeliness of all financial reports, 
including all prospectuses issued by the 
Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The	Chief	Executive	Officer	and	Chief	
Financial	Officer	are	required	to	certify	
to the Audit Committee that the financial 
statements of the Company and its 
subsidiaries present a true and fair view 
of the Company and comply with all 
relevant accounting standards.

Principle 5 
– Remuneration

Total remuneration available to 
non-executive directors is determined 
by shareholders. The current aggregate

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether thecompanyand group financial statements are free from material misstatement.An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the companyand group financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the companyand group’s preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view of the matters to which they relate 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 companyand group's internal control.An audit also includesevaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates, as well as evaluating the presentation of the financial statements.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.Our firm has also provided other services to the companyand group in relation to general accounting services. Subject to restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the companyand group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the companyand group.
