Heartland Bank Limited - Annual Report 2016

Chairman & Chief Executive Officer’s Report

Chairman & Chief 
Executive Officer’s Report

It is our pleasure to report another successful 
year for Heartland - not only a year of 
continued receivables growth and increased 
profitability - but also an historical year, 
in which Heartland New Zealand Limited 
and Heartland Bank Limited successfully 
amalgamated to form the first New Zealand 
registered bank to be listed on the NZX 
Main Board.

Geoffrey Ricketts
Chairman

Heartland’s net profit after tax (NPAT) for the financial year ended 
30 June 2016 (the 2016 Financial Year) was $54.2m, up $6m on 
the previous financial year (the 2015 Financial Year). Earnings 
translated to an average return on equity (ROE) of 11.1%, compared 
to ROE of 10.4% for the 2015 Financial Year.

¹ Total shareholder return means share price appreciation plus dividends received.
² See KPMG’s Financial Institutions Performance Survey March 2016 Quarterly Results.

Heartland’s net tangible assets (NTA) increased from $420.3m to 
$433.5m during the 2016 Financial Year. On a per share basis NTA 
was $0.91 at 30 June 2016, compared with $0.89 at 30 June 2015.

Total shareholder return¹ for the 2016 Financial Year was 22%.

We were also pleased to note KPMG’s report², which confirmed 
Heartland’s Net Interest Margin as the strongest among its  
bank peers.

Dividend
The Board resolved to pay a fully imputed final dividend of 5.0 
cents per share, on 7 October 2016, to shareholders on Heartland’s 
register at 5.00pm on 23 September 2016. At 5.0 cents per share, 
the dividend is an 11% increase on last year’s final dividend of 4.5 
cents per share, which was paid on 2 October 2015.

On 5 April 2016, Heartland also paid an interim dividend of 3.5 
cents per share, totalling $16,566,952. When added to that interim 
dividend, the final dividend brings total dividends relating to the 
2016 Financial Year to 8.5 cents per share, an increase of 13% on 
total dividends relating to the 2015 Financial Year.

The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) was available and a discount 
of 2.5% was applied. The last date of receipt for a participation 
election from a shareholder who wished to participate in the DRP 
was 23 September 2016. For the full information on the DRP, please 
see Heartland’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan Offer Document dated 1 
January 2016, which is available on our website.

Business Performance
All of Heartland’s core divisions - Business, Rural and Household 
- performed well, and net finance receivables increased by 9%, to 
$3.1b, during the 2016 Financial Year. 

Business
The Business division’s net receivables increased by $95.0m, or 
11.8%, to $898.8m. Receivables growth drove an increase in Net 
Operating Income (NOI) for the division, up $2.2m on the 2015 
Financial Year to $43.0m.

The Business division continued to develop its intermediary 
distribution network, and focussed in particular on product offerings 
to meet the needs of small to medium sized business customers. 
The Open for Business online origination platform (for small 
business loans) continued to be developed and improved, and 
distribution was extended to intermediaries. The  
Open for Business book grew to $11.2m, with growth accelerating 
from April 2016 following a comprehensive upgrade of the platform.

Rural

Rural
Despite the challenging rural environment, the rural division 
grew strongly, increasing net receivables by $64.8m, or 
13.3%, to $552.5m. NOI was $26.3m, up $2.2m on the 2015 
Financial Year.

Growth primarily came from the sheep and beef sector, 
where Heartland utilised its livestock lending expertise 
through both relationship and intermediated channels 
to originate new business in term, working capital 
and livestock finance.

Although Heartland's exposure to the dairy sector grew, 
that exposure is still relatively small (at only 7% of the total 
lending book at 30 June 2016) and the average loan to value 
ratio (LVR) for Heartland’s dairy exposures is just 64%. 
Despite the difficult circumstances facing the dairy industry, 
Heartland continues to support existing clients – which was 
the primary reason for the growth – and still has an appetite 
for new business with sharemilkers and dairy farmers who 
meet our lending criteria. Heartland has provided a buffer 
against any continued rural downturn, particularly in the 
dairy sector, by applying an additional collective provision.

Household
The Household division - which is made up of consumer, 
reverse mortgages and non-core residential mortgages - had 
another strong year, in which net receivables increased by 
$92.1m, to $1.7b, and NOI increased by $9.5m, to $86.1m.

The consumer business – which includes motor vehicle 
loans, personal loans and lending through the Harmoney 
platform – grew strongly, achieving NOI of $59.2m (up 14.9% 
on the 2015 Financial Year) and net receivables growth 
of $85.8m, to $822.1m (up 11.7% on the 2015 Financial 
Year). Growth in net receivables from motor vehicle loans 
continued strongly, up 9.5% on the 2015 Financial Year to 
$767.4m, and the personal loan book, although relatively 
small, grew exponentially – net receivables were up 616.0% 
on the 2015 Financial Year to $17.9m.

The performance of the reverse mortgage business, both 
in New Zealand and Australia, was particularly pleasing, 
with the size of the book increasing by $27.4m (8.2%) in 
New Zealand and A$38.6m (10.3%) in Australia to a total of 
$362.6m and A$413.5m respectively. After foreign exchange 
translation, this amounted to total growth, in New Zealand 
dollars, of $39.1m, and a total book size of $794.8m.

Heartland Bank Limited - Annual Report 2016

Chairman & Chief Executive Officer’s Report

Strategic Focus
Heartland’s strategic focus continues to be to provide innovative 
‘best or only’ banking products in niche markets. Going forward, 
the aim is to deliver those products through ‘best or only’ channels, 
tailored for each niche market, in particular:

•  by providing a high touch, personal service to seniors (65 

years+), a growing demographic with specific financial needs;

•  by providing a frictionless digital experience to the emerging 

‘millennial’ market, who value speed and ease; and

•  by providing a fast and responsive service to the 

neglected segment of the small business market, through 
online origination for working capital and plant and 
equipment finance.

With that focus in mind, our priorities are to enhance our digital 
distribution, to expand our Australian operation, and (if the right 
opportunity arises) to grow by acquisition.

Digital
Although we will continue to tailor each distribution channel to each 
niche market, in the future ‘best or only’ channels will, increasingly, 
be digital.

Digital channels have the power not only to extend our reach and 
increase our scale, but also to streamline our processes and, most 
importantly, to deliver a better, faster customer experience. 

In April, we launched a comprehensive upgrade of Heartland’s 
Open for Business online distribution platform, which allows SME 
customers to apply for working capital or plant & equipment loans 
in just a few minutes. Going forward, we aim to leverage that 
technology by rolling-out the ‘Open for’ concept in other markets 
and sectors.

Recognising the importance of strong technology platforms to 
support our ambitions for growth, we are poised to transition to a 
first-class core banking system, provided by technology innovators 
Oracle, which will integrate and simplify our IT environment, reduce 
costs, and further rationalise our processes.

Jeffrey Greenslade
Chief Executive Officer

fundamentals are compelling, and there is potential to secure a 
market-leading position (such as through a unique relationship or 
distribution capability). This could include an Australian Open for 
Business platform, for example.

Acquisitions and Capital
At last year’s Annual Meeting, Heartland advised shareholders 
of its intention to undertake a regulatory capital issue and to 
subsequently undertake a return of capital. However, the Board 
elected not to proceed with those transactions during the 2016 
Financial Year, as we believe that continued volatility in the financial 
markets since then has created, and continues to create,  
acquisition opportunities.

Australia
This year, we have seen strong organic growth in our Australian 
business, primarily as a result of expanding our Australian 
intermediary distribution network. Looking forward, we aim to build 
on that momentum by introducing other ‘best or only’ Heartland 
banking products into the wider Australian market where the sector 

Both in New Zealand and Australia, the potential for acquisitions 
remains a key part of Heartland’s strategy. Heartland will pursue 
an acquisition where it is value accretive, and where it delivers 
access to innovation, compelling distribution capability or involves 
products which are the same or similar to an existing  
core competency.

Chairman & Chief Executive Officer’s Report

Heartland has elected not to proceed with the regulatory capital 
issue and return of capital in the 2016 Financial Year at this time. 
It may still do so in the future should it be deemed appropriate. 
Heartland continues to assess acquisition opportunities as they 
arise, and to monitor its capital position.

Looking forward
Looking forward, Heartland expects underlying asset growth to 
continue for the 2017 financial year, and we are projecting increased 
volumes in each of the core divisions. We expect comparatively 
faster growth in Heartland products which are distributed online 
(personal loans and Open for Business loans), given their modest 
size currently and the size of the market opportunity available.

Heartland expects its NPAT for the year ended 30 June 2017 to 
be in the range of $57m to $60m, and, for the reasons above, we 
believe we are well-placed to meet that target. This guidance range 
does not take into account the impact of any potential capital 
management initiatives or acquisitions.

Ko te Pūrongo a te Pou 
Whakahaere me te Tiamana

(Chairman & Chief Executive Officer’s Report)

E hīkaka nei māua ki te pūrongorongo atu i te 
angitū o tētehi anō tau mō Heartland Bank 
Limited – ehara i te mea mō te kaha piki haere 
o ngā kaute nama me ngā hua – heoi he tau 
whakahirahira i hono tahi ai a Heartland New 
Zealand Limited me Heartland Bank Limited 
ki te whakatū i te pēke tuatahi o Aotearoa kua 
whakarārangihia i te Poari Matua o NZX.

Ko te $54.2 miriona te whiwhinga pūtea kua tangoihia kētia te tāke 
i te tau pūtea i mutu ai i te 30 o Pipiri, 2016 (te Tau Pūtea o 2016). 
He $6 miriona te pikinga i tēnā o te tau pūtea o mua (i te Tau Pūtea 
o 2015). Nā ngā pūtea utunga te ROE i huri ai ki te 11.1%, he pikinga 
mai i te 10.4% i te Tau Pūtea o 2015.

I eke ngā rawa tūturu o Heartland i te $420.3 miriona ki te $433.5 
miriona i te Tau Pūtea o 2016. Kia tirohia ake ia hea, $0.91 te nui o 
ngā rawa tūturu i te 30 o Pipiri, 2016, tēnā i te $0.89 i te 30 o  
Pipiri, 2015.

I muri i te tangohanga o te tāke i piki ai ngā hua tūturu a Heartland 
i te $420.3 miriona ki te $433.5 miriona i Te Tau Pūtea o 2016. Nā 
konā, ko ia wāhi i ōrite ai ki te $0.91 i te 30 o Pipiri, 2016, he mea 
whakataurite ki te $0.89 i te 30 o Pipiri, 2015.

Ko te 22% te nui o te pūtea i whiwhi ai ngā kaiwhaipānga mō te Tau 
Pūtea o 2016.

I harikoa hoki māua i ngā kōrero i te pūrongo a KPMG mō te utu 
huamoni i ahu mai i a Heartland me tērā i tukuna ai ki ngā kaitaupua 
pūtea e mea ana ko tērā te mea kaha o ngā kaiwhakataetae katoa. 

Hua Moni
I te 5 karaka, i te ahiahi o te 23 o Mahuru, 2016, e 5.0 hēneti mō ia 
hea te nui o te hua moni whakamutunga i utua ai e te Poari ki ngā 
kaiwhaipānga i runga i te rēhita a Heartland. He 11% pikinga tēnei 
i te hua moni whakamutunga e 4.5 mō ia hea o te tau kua mahue 
ake nei.

I te 5 o Paengawhāwhā, 2016, he mea utu hoki e Heartland tētehi 
pūtea whiwhi taurewa, 3.5 hēneti mō ia hea, $16, 566, 952 te nui. I te 
otinga atu, he pikinga 13% ki te 8.5 hēneti mō ia hea te katoa o ngā 
hua moni mō te Tau Pūtea 2015.

I wātea te Rautaki Pūtea Haumi Hua Moni, ka mutu, he mea 
whakahekenga te utu o te 2.5%. Ko te 18 o Mahuru, 2015 te rangi 
whakamutunga i aro ai a Heartland ki te kōwhiringa whakauru mō 
te hunga kaiwhaipānga i pīrangi kia whai wāhi atu i roto i te Rautaki 
Pūtea Haumi Hua Moni. E kite ai koe i ngā mokamoka katoa mō 
te Rautaki Pūtea Haumi Hua Moni, tēnā, tirohia te tāpaetanga o 
roto i te rautaki rā i tā mātau paetukutuku, i tāpirihia atu ai i te 1 o 
Kohitātea, 2016.

Ngā Whakatutukinga o te Pakihi
I whai hua katoa ngā wāhanga matua o te pakihi – Pakihi mai, 
Taiwhenua mai, Whare mai, katoa ēnei i tino eke, ā, e 9% te pikinga 
o ngā kaute nama pūtea ki te $3.1 piriona, i te Tau Pūtea o 2016.

Pakihi
I piki ngā pūtea kaute nama o ngā wāhanga Pakihi i te $95 miriona, 
i te 11.8% rānei ki te $898.8 miriona. $2.2 miriona te pikinga o ngā 
kaute nama ki te $43.0 miriona i roto i te wāhanga Pūtea Whiwhi 
Whakahaere Whare i te Tau Pūtea o 2015.

He rite tonu te whakawhanake a te wāhanga Pakihi i tana rangapū 
rotanga kaiwhakarite. I arotahi te wāhanga rā ki ngā whakaputanga 
e ngata ai te hiahia o ngā kaihoko pakihi iti me ngā kaihoko pakihi 
wawaenga. I whakawhanaketia tonutia te tūāpapa taketake ipurangi 
o Open for Business (mō ngā pūtea taurewa pakihi iti), ā, ko ngā 
kaiwhakarite hoki i whai wāhi ai ki ngā ratonga. I eke te pukapuka 
e kīia nei ko Open for Business ki te $11.2 miriona, he nui ake 
tēnā i te marama o Paengawhāwhā, 2016 whai muri i tonu iho i te 
whakahoutanga mai o te tūāpapa. 

Taiwhenua
Hāunga ngā piki me ngā heke o te taiao taiwhenua, i kaha tonu te 
pikinga o tēnei wāhanga i ngā kaute nama pūtea i te $64.8 miriona, i 
te 13.3% rānei ki te $552.5 miriona. $2.2 miriona te pikinga o te Pūtea

Nā te wāhanga hipi me te wāhanga kau i tino eke ai tēnei wāhanga. I 
whakamahi a Heartland i ōna pūkenga nama kararehe mā roto atu i 
ōna pānga ki te whakatakune i ngā pakihi hou, i te haupū rawa me te 
pūtea kararehe.

Ahakoa i hau te rongo o te whare kau a Heartland, he iti tonu tērā 
(e 7% noa iho o te puka nama i te 30 o Pipiri, 2016), ā, 64% noa iho 
te toharite o te nama taurewa ki te wāriu o te hau o te putanga o te 
whare kau a Heartland. Ahakoa ēnei āhuatanga uaua kei te aroaro 
o te ahumahi whare kau, ka tautokona tonutia e Heartland ana 
kiritaki. Koinā pū i piki ai tēnei wāhanga, ka mutu, kua hiahia tonu 
ki te āwhina i ngā pakihi iti e whai wāhi ai ngā kaipāmu e tutuki ai i a 
rātau ngā paearu hoatu taurewa. Kua tāpirihia tētehi whakaritenga e 
tauārai ai a Heartland ki ngā paheketanga ohaoha taiwhenua i roto i 
te wāhanga whare kau.

Whare
Ko te kiritaki, ko te mōkete hurikōaro me te mōkete tāone hauiti ngā 
tino o te wāhanga Whare. I eke anō ngā mahi hokohoko i te tau nei, 
$92.1 miriona te nui o te pikinga ki te $1.7 piriona, ā, $9.5 miriona te 
pikinga o te Pūtea Whiwhi Whakahaere Whare ki te $86.1 miriona.

Ko te taurewa waka, ko te taurewa whaiaro, me te taurewa mā roto 
i a Harmony ngā wāhanga o te pakihi kiritaki i kaha eke i te tau nei 
ki te $59.2 miriona (he 14.9% pikinga mai i te Tau Pūtea o 2015), ā, 
$85.8 miriona te pikinga o te kaute nama ki te $822.1 miriona (he 
11.7% pikinga mai i te Tau Pūtea o 2015). I kaha piki tonu ngā kaute 
nama o ngā taurewa waka, he 9.5% pikinga ki te 767.4 miriona i te 
Tau Pūtea o 2015.  Ahakoa te iti o te puka taurewa whaiaro, i piki 
hoki tērā ki te $17.9 miriona, he 616.0% pikinga tēnā i te Tau Pūtea 
o 2015. 

I pai te wāhi ki te pakihi mōkete kōaro i Aotearoa me Ahitereiria. 
He pikinga $27.4 miriona (8.2%) i Aotearoa, ā, he pikinga A$38.6 
miriona (10.3%) i Ahitereiria. Ko te $362.6 miriona te katoa o te 
tatau o roto o Aotearoa, ā, ko te A$413.5 miriona i Ahitereiria. Hei 
whaiwhai noa ake i ngā kurutete whakawhiti tauiwi, he $39.1 miriona 
pikinga tēnei ki te $794.8 miriona i te tāra o Aotearoa. 

Te Aronga Rautaki
Ko te rato i te tino o ngā hua pēke i roto i te mākete tonu te rautaki 
e whāia nei e Heartland. Ā haere ake nei, e tutuki ai te whāinga, mā 
ngā tino huarahi, mā te huarahi kotahi anake rānei ēnei hua e tukua 
ai, e hāngai tonu ana ki ia mākete pēnei i ēnei e whai iho nei:

•  mā te whakarato i tētehi whakaritenga kounga ki ngā kaumātua 
(65 tau te pakeke nuku atu rānei), he tatauranga iwi e tupu 
haere ana, he maha hoki ōna hiahia pūtea motuhake;

•  mā te whakarato i tētehi wheako mati ngāwari noa nei ki te 

mākete o anamata e ngākau nui ana ki te wāriu me te tere; ā,

•  mā te whakarato i tētehi ratonga tere ki te wāhanga 
iwikoretanga o te mākete pakihi iti, mā roto atu i te 
pūtaketanga o te ipurangi mō te pūtea tōpū mahi me te rawa 
ahumahi, mō te pūtea taputapu hoki.

Ko te whakapai i ngā whakaratonga mati tā mātau e aro nei e 
whakanui ake ai i ā Ahitereiria whakahaere, ā, kia eke hoki ki 
taumata kē atu mehemea e taea ana.

Mati
Ahakoa ka whakahāngai tonu mātau i ngā huarahi whakaratonga ki 
ia mākete, ā haere ake nei ka mati haere ngā huarahi ‘best or only’

Ehara i te mea ka taea e ngā huarahi mati te toro atu ki tēnā, ki 
tēnā anake, heoi mā tēnei hoki e whakahou ā mātau tukanga, e 
whakatere ai, e whakapai ake ai hoki i te wheako o te kiritaki.

Nō te marama o Paengawhāwhā, i whakarewahia ai te 
whakahoutanga mai o te tūāpapa whakaratonga ipurangi a 
Heartland e kīia nei ko ‘Open for Business’ e āhei ai ngā kiritaki SME 
ki te tono mō te pūtea tōpū mahi, mō ngā taurewa rawa ahumahi, 
taputapu rānei i ngā miniti torutoru noa iho. Ā haere ake nei, e mea 
ana mātau ki te whakahaere i tērā hangarau mā te momo ariā e kīia 
nei ko ‘Open for’ i ētehi atu mākete me ētehi atu wāhanga.

Mā te mōhio ki ngā tino tūāpapa hangarau ki te tautoko i ō mātau 
tūmanako kia tupu haere e rite ai mātau ki te whakawhiti atu ki 
tētehi pūnaha pēke kounga i raro i a Oracle e whakakotahi ai, e 
whakangāwari ai i te taiao hangarau me te utu, e whai take hoki ai ā 
mātau tukanga.

whaiaro me ngā taurewa ‘Open for Business’), i runga hoki i te 
mōhio ki te rahi o mohoa noa nei me te rahi o te āheinga mākete e

E mea ana a Heartland ka eke te whiwhinga pūtea kua tangoihia 
kētia te tāke mai i te $57 miriona ki te $60 miriona ā te tau e mutu 
ai ā te 30 o Pipiri, 2017, ka mutu, e mōhio nei mātau ka tutuki tērā. 
Kāore ēnei kōrero e whaiwhakaaro ake ana ki ngā mea pēnei i ngā 
whakaritenga whakahaere pūtea tōpū me ētehi atu whakaritenga.

I tēnei tau, kua kite nei mātau i te pikinga haeretanga o ngā

He nui tonu te wāhi ki ngā tangohanga i roto i te rautaki a Heartland

tangohanga e whai wāhi atu ai tētehi ki te auahatanga, ki te āheinga

Kua oti kē i a Heartland te whakatau kia kaua e koke whakamua 
me ngā take haupū rawa mana whakahaere me te utunga ki ngā 
kaiwhaipānga i te Tau Pūtea o 2016 i tēnei wā, heoi, ki te kitea he

he āheinga tangohanga, ka tirohia tērā e Heartland me tana tūranga 
matua hoki.

The Heartland Trust

TheHeartland
Trust

Every year The Heartland Trust supports organisations, clubs and schools 
across the country that are dedicated to helping young New Zealanders 
unlock their true potential.

As these examples from the past year show, that potential could be on the 
sports field, on the stage, or through academic opportunities that might 
otherwise be out of reach.

Tangaroa College Rugby

The Heartland Trust is closely involved with First XV rugby in schools 

around the country, helping to fund playing kit and  

training equipment.

One of those schools is Tangaroa College in Otara, where the roll is 75 

per cent Pasifika and 20 per cent Maori, with Palagi and Asian students 

making up the rest.

It’s a school that takes its rugby seriously, and we are delighted to have 

the Heartland name on the front of the jerseys.

A recent Metro magazine article on the school said this: “Tangaroa 

College is a success story. They’re proud of what they do there, and  

you don’t have to spend long, with teachers or students, to  

see that.”

Schools Music 
Festival
Around 500 young singers from 15 Mid 
Canterbury primary schools performed 
over three nights in the annual Heartland 
Bank Schools Music Festival in Ashburton.

Heartland has sponsored the popular event 
for more than 20 years, and Ashburton 
branch manager Andrew Wilson says it fits 
perfectly with the bank’s local focus.

“All around the country, Heartland 
is committed to giving back to the 
communities that support us. A festival like 
this, which brings together family, friends 
and the wider community, is a great way to 
do it”.

King’s College 
Scholarships
Heartland has for several years funded 
full scholarships for high-achieving boys 
to attend King’s College in Auckland.

This year we are proud to have added 
two scholarships for outstanding female 
students as well.

Heartland’s chief executive, Jeff 
Greenslade, says the purpose of the 
scholarships is: “to create opportunities 
for talented young students to benefit 
from a first class education that would 
otherwise be out of reach to them.”

Scholarship recipients August Wairau and Cora Prime.

Heartland Bank Limited - Annual Report 2016

Corporate Governance

The Board and management of Heartland are 
committed to ensuring that Heartland maintains 
corporate governance practices in line with current 
best practice.

Codes of Conduct
Heartland’s Code of Conduct and Directors’ Code of Conduct set 
out the ethical and behavioural standards expected of Heartland’s 
directors and employees. The Codes of Conduct are available on 
Heartland’s website.

The Board has established policies and protocols which comply 
with the corporate governance requirements of the NZX Main Board 
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 Heartland as at 30 June 2016. During the year 
the Board reviewed and assessed Heartland’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 2016. 

This section of the Annual Report reflects Heartland’s compliance 
with the guidelines set out in the Financial Markets Authority’s 
handbook Corporate Governance in New Zealand Principles  
and Guidelines.

Heartland’s Constitution, Board and Board Committee charters and 
key governance codes and policies are available on Heartland’s 
website, www.heartland.co.nz.

Principle 1 – Ethical Standards
Directors set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this 
behaviour, and hold management accountable for delivering these 
standards throughout the organisation.

Heartland expects its directors and staff to act honestly and in good 
faith, and in the best interests of Heartland at all times. They must 
act with the care, diligence and skill expected of a director or staff 
member of a registered bank which issues securities and accepts 
funds from the general public, and has its shares publicly traded on 
the NZX Main Board.

Directors and staff are required to act honestly and fairly in all 
dealings with Heartland’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 Heartland’s Code of Conduct, the Directors’ 
Code of Conduct and Heartland’s Constitution, and to exhibit a high 
standard of ethical behaviour.

Insider Trading Policy
The Board continually assesses whether any matters under 
consideration are likely to materially influence Heartland’s share 
price and therefore whether additional trading restrictions should 
be imposed on directors and senior employees of Heartland.

All directors and senior employees of Heartland are required to 
obtain consent before buying or selling shares in Heartland and to 
certify that their decision to buy or sell shares has not been made 
on the basis of inside information.

Gender Diversity
Heartland considers diversity in all its forms a strength, and is 
committed to supporting initiatives which foster diversity at all 
levels of the organisation. The following table shows the gender 
diversity of Directors and Officers of Heartland at 30 June 2016.1

Principle 2 – Board Composition and Performance
There is a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience 
and perspectives among directors to ensure an effective Board.

Role of the Board
The Board of Directors is responsible for corporate governance 
and setting Heartland’s overall strategic direction. The Board 
charter regulates Board procedure and describes the Board’s role 

¹ As at 30 June 2015, there were 2 (20%) female directors and 8 (80%) male directors across the boards of both Heartland New Zealand Limited and Heartland Bank Limited. 
Of a total of 9 officers, 3 (33.3%) were female and 6 (66.7%) were male.

and responsibilities in detail. 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 (and, in the case of risk management, 
to the Chief Risk Officer). The Board regularly monitors and reviews 
management’s performance in carrying out its delegated duties.

The Board schedules regular meetings at which it receives briefings 
on key strategic and operational issues from management.

Board Processes
Heartland was formed by the amalgamation of Heartland New 
Zealand Limited (HNZ) and its subsidiary Heartland Bank Limited 
(HBL) on 31 December 2015. Prior to the amalgamation, each of 
HNZ and HBL had separate boards, which met separately. On the 

amalgamation, one continuing Board was formed for Heartland, 
made up of J K Greenslade, G R Kennedy, C R Mace, G T Ricketts and 
G R Tomlinson (who were reappointed with approval of shareholders 
at the annual shareholder meeting on 11 December 2015) and N J 
Greer, E J Harvey and B R Irvine (who were appointed to Heartland’s 
board with effect from the amalgamation). The Boards of HNZ and 
HBL each held 5 meetings during the first half of the financial year 
ended 30 June 2016, and, following the amalgamation, the Board of 
Heartland held 5 meetings. The table below shows attendance by 
each director at the meetings of the Boards and Board Committees 
of which he or she was a member.

All of the then-serving directors of HBL and HNZ attended the 
Annual Meeting of both companies held on December 2015.

Heartland Bank Limited - Annual Report 2016

Corporate Governance

Board Membership, Size and Composition

The NZX Main Board 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 2016, the Board comprised eight directors, being an 
independent Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and six non-
executive directors. The Board encourages rigorous discussion and 
analysis when making decisions.

The Board recognises the need to have a range of complementary 
skills, knowledge and experience in order to support the 
implementation of its strategic priorities, and for the Board to have a 
balance of skills and attributes in order to support diversity at board 
level. With this in mind, the Board regularly reviews its composition 
and formally assesses its collective skills, knowledge and experience 
using a skills matrix developed specifically for Heartland. This 
exercise provides an opportunity to reflect on and discuss current 
Board composition, as well as succession planning. The current 
Board comprises directors with a mix of qualifications and skills who 
hold diverse business, governance and industry experience and is 
presently focussed on extending its collective experience in retail, as 
well as in the Australian banking market.

Nomination and appointment of directors
Procedures for the appointment and removal of directors are 
governed by Heartland’s constitution.

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.

On appointment, each director signs a letter which sets out 
Heartland’s written expectations, including, among other things, its 
expectations regarding the time commitment required to perform 
the role effectively. The letter is accompanied by a Director’s 
Corporate Governance Manual, which includes key information for 
Heartland’s directors, including relevant charters and policies.

Independence of Directors
A director is considered to be independent if that director is not an 
executive of Heartland 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 Heartland.

As at 30 June 2016, the Board determined that N Greer, E J Harvey, 
B R Irvine, G R Kennedy, C R Mace and G T Ricketts were the 
independent directors.

Board Performance Assessment and Training
The Board undertakes a formal review of its own, its committees’ 
and individual directors’ performance at least annually, and - as 

noted above - will regularly review its composition using a skills 
matrix. This is to ensure it has a range of complementary skills, 
knowledge and experience in order to effectively govern Heartland, 
to monitor its performance, and to support the implementation 
of its strategic priorities – in the interests of its shareholders. The 
Board regularly receives training in matters which are relevant to 
Heartland’s operations under a formal Board training programme.

Principle 3 – Board Committees
The Board uses committees where this enhances effectiveness in 
key areas while still retaining Board responsibility.
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 
a charter which sets out the committee’s objectives, membership, 
procedures and responsibilities. A committee does not take 
action or make decisions on behalf of the Board unless specifically 
mandated. The committee charters are available on Heartland’s 
website, www.heartland.co.nz.

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

Audit Committee
Membership is restricted to non-executive directors, with at least 
three members, the majority of whom must be independent. The 
Chair of the Audit Committee must be an independent director who 
is not the Chair of the Board.

As at 30 June 2016, the members of the Audit Committee were B R 
Irvine (Chair), E J Harvey, G R Kennedy and G T Ricketts.

The role of the Audit Committee is to advise and provide assurance 
to the Board in order to enable the Board to discharge its 
responsibilities in relation to the oversight of:

•  The integrity of financial control, financial management and 

external financial reporting.

•  The internal audit function.

•  The independent audit process.

As at 30 June 2016, the Board determined that all committee 
members had a recognised form of financial expertise in accordance 
with the Audit Committee’s charter.

Risk Committee
Membership is restricted to non-executive directors, with at least 
three members, the majority of whom must be independent. The 
Chair of the Risk Committee must be an independent director who is 
not the Chair of the Board.

Corporate Governance

www.heartland.co.nz 

23

As at 30 June 2016, the members of the Risk Committee were N J 
Greer, E J Harvey (Chair), G R Kennedy and C R Mace.

The role of the Risk Committee is to advise and provide assurance 
to the Board in order to enable the Board to discharge its 
responsibilities in relation to the oversight of:

•  The formulation of its risk appetite, as defined in the Risk 

Appetite Statement.

•  The monitoring of the effectiveness of the Enterprise Risk 

Management Framework (ERMF).

•  Assurance that all risks within the key risk categories which 
are relevant to Heartland and its subsidiaries have been 
appropriately identified, managed and reported to the Board in 
accordance with the ERMF.

Governance, Remuneration and Capital Committee
The Committee is required to have at least three directors, the 
majority of whom must be independent.

As at 30 June 2016, the members of the Governance and 
Remuneration Committee were G T Ricketts (Chair), B R Irvine  
and G R Tomlinson.

The role of the Governance, Remuneration and Capital Committee is 
to advise and provide assurance to the Board in order to enable the 
Board to discharge its responsibilities in relation to:

•  Corporate governance matters.

•  Remuneration of the directors, Chief Executive Officer and 
senior executives and remuneration policies generally.

•  Director and senior executive appointments, Board 

composition and succession planning.

•  Capital management.

Principle 4 – Reporting and Disclosures
The Board demands integrity in both financial reporting and in the 
timeliness and balance of corporate disclosures.

The Board is committed to ensuring the highest standards are 
maintained in financial reporting and disclosure of all relevant 
information.

The Audit Committee oversees the quality and timeliness of all 
financial reports, including all disclosure documents issued by 
Heartland 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 Heartland and its subsidiaries present a true and fair view of 
Heartland and comply with all relevant accounting standards.

Principle 5 – Remuneration
The remuneration of directors and executives is transparent, fair 
and reasonable.

Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration
Total remuneration available to non-executive directors of Heartland 
and its subsidiaries is determined by shareholders. The current 
aggregate approved amount by shareholders is $1,000,000 per 
annum.

Heartland’s policy is to pay directors’ fees in cash. There is no 
requirement for directors to take a portion of their remuneration in 
shares and there is no requirement for directors to hold shares in 
Heartland. However, as at 30 June 2016 all directors held shares, 
or a beneficial interest in shares, in Heartland (see the “Directors’ 
Disclosures” section of this Report for further details).

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

All senior executives receive a base salary and are also eligible to 
participate in short-term and, in some cases, long-term incentive 
plans under which they are rewarded for achieving key performance 
and operating results.

Principle 6 – Risk Management
The Board has a sound understanding of the key risks faced by 
the business. The Board regularly verifies that Heartland has 
appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and 
relevant risks.

The Board ensures that Heartland has a Risk Management 
Programme in place which identifies, manages and communicates 
the key risks that may impact Heartland’s business. Specific risk 
management strategies have been developed for each of the key 
risks identified. The Risk Committee of the Board oversees the risk 
management programme and strategy. Heartland also has in place 
insurance cover for insurable liability and general business risk.

Principle 7 – Auditors
The Board ensures the quality and independence of the external 
audit process.

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the external, 
independent audit of Heartland’s financial statements. The Audit 
Committee ensures that the level of non-audit work undertaken by 
the auditors does not jeopardise their independence.

 
24 

Heartland Bank Limited - Annual Report 2016

Corporate Governance

Heartland’s External Auditor Independence Policy provides 
guidelines to ensure that non-audit related services do not conflict 
with the independent role of the external auditor, and the Audit 
Committee ensures that non-audit work undertaken by the auditors 
is in accordance with that Policy. That Policy also sets out guidelines 
in relation to the tenure and re-appointment of the external auditor, 
which the Audit Committee ensures are complied with. Refer to 
Heartland’s website for a copy of the External Auditor  
Independence Policy.

The external auditor monitors its independence and reports to 
the Audit Committee bi-annually to confirm that it has remained 
independent in the previous six months, in accordance with 
Heartland’s External Auditor Independence Policy and the external 
auditor’s policies and professional requirements. There have been 
no threats to auditor independence identified during the year ended 
30 June 2016.

Heartland also has an internal audit function which is independent 
of the external auditors. The Audit Committee approves the annual 
internal audit programme, which is developed in consultation with 
management of Heartland.

Principle 8 – Shareholder Relations
The Board fosters constructive relationships with shareholders that 
encourage them to engage with Heartland.

The Board is committed to maintaining a full and open dialogue with 
all shareholders, as outlined in the Shareholder Communications 

Policy and the Disclosure Policy, both of which are available

Heartland Bank Limited - Annual Report 2016

Disclosure Statement For The Year Ended 30 June 2016

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Disclosure Statement has been issued by Heartland Bank Limited (the bank) and its subsidiaries (the banking group) for the year ended 30

June 2016 in accordance with the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (New Zealand Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended)

(the Order). The Financial Statements of the bank for the year ended 30 June 2016 form part of, and should be read in conjunction with, this

Disclosure Statement.

Words and phrases defined by the Order have the same meanings when used in this Disclosure Statement.

On 31 December 2015, there was a change to the composition of the banking group as a result of an amalgamation of companies.

Prior to 31 December 2015, the banking group comprised the company that was then known as “Heartland Bank Limited” (Former Heartland Bank)

together with its subsidiaries. At that stage, Former Heartland Bank was wholly owned by a company then known as “Heartland New Zealand

Limited” (Heartland New Zealand). On 31 December 2015, Former Heartland Bank amalgamated, by way of short form amalgamation, with

Heartland New Zealand (the Amalgamation). Heartland New Zealand continued as the amalgamated company (with Former Heartland Bank being

struck off the register of companies), but changed its name to “Heartland Bank Limited”.  

As a result of the Amalgamation, Heartland Bank Limited became a registered bank under the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989 and the

banking group expanded to include the company that is now known as Heartland Bank Limited. Refer to the Reporting entity note within the notes to

the financial statements for further detail.

The bank's address for service is Level 3, Heartland House, 35 Teed Street, Newmarket, Auckland.

Name and address for service

The name of the Registered Bank is Heartland Bank Limited.  

The bank's address for service is Heartland House, 35 Teed Street, Newmarket, Auckland.

FNZ Custodians Limited

No person has the ability to directly or indirectly appoint 25% or more of the Board (or other persons exercising powers of management) of the bank.

PRIORITY OF CREDITORS' CLAIMS

In the event of the bank becoming insolvent or ceasing business, certain claims set out in legislation are paid in priority to others. These claims

include secured creditors, taxes, certain payments to employees and any liquidator’s costs. After payment of those creditors, the claims of all other

creditors are unsecured and would rank equally with each other.

The loans sold to the Heartland ABCP Trust 1 (ABCP Trust) are set aside for the benefit of investors in the ABCP Trust (See Note 24 - Structured

entities for further details).

As at the date this Disclosure Statement was signed, no material obligations of the bank were guaranteed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2016

Basis of reporting

Reporting entity

On 31 December 2015, Former Heartland Bank was amalgamated, by way of short form amalgamation, with its ultimate parent, Heartland New

Zealand. Heartland New Zealand has continued as the amalgamated company but has changed its name from Heartland New Zealand Limited

to Heartland Bank Limited. Refer to General Information contained within the Disclosure Statement for further details.

As a result of the Amalgamation, all of Heartland New Zealand's subsidiaries which were previously sitting outside of Former Heartland Bank,

were brought into the banking group. The most significant of these businesses was the Australian reverse mortgage business. Other strategic

investments, such as shareholdings in Harmoney Corp Limited, Ora HQ Limited and MARAC Insurance Limited, were also brought into the

banking group.

The financial statements presented are the consolidated financial statements comprising Heartland Bank Limited (the bank) and its subsidiaries

(the banking group). Refer to Note 23 - Significant subsidiaries for further details. Unless otherwise stated, comparatives presented are for the

consolidated group of the company previously known as Heartland New Zealand Limited.

As at 30 June 2016 Heartland Bank Limited is a listed public company incorporated in New Zealand under the Companies Act 1993, a registered

bank under the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989 and a FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and

Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP) and with
the requirements of the Financial Reporting Act 2013. The financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate for profit-oriented entities, and the Registered
Bank Disclosure Statement (New Zealand Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended). The financial statements also comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars which is the bank's functional and the banking group's presentation currency.

Unless otherwise indicated, amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand.

The accounting policies adopted have been applied consistently throughout the periods presented in these financial statements. Certain

comparative information has been restated to comply with the current year presentation.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for financial instruments, land and buildings and investment

property, which are measured at their fair values as identified in the accounting policies set out in the accompanying notes.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis after considering the banking group's funding and liquidity position.

Financial assets and liabilities

The banking group initially recognises finance receivables and borrowings on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets and

liabilities (including assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are initially recognised on the trade date at which the

banking group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The banking group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to
receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the banking group is recognised as a
separate asset or liability.

The banking group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

The banking group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised on its Statement of Financial Position, but retains either all
risks and rewards of the transferred assets or a portion of them. If all or substantially all risks and rewards are retained, then the transferred
assets are not derecognised from the Statement of Financial Position. Transfers of assets with the retention of all or substantially all risks and
rewards include, for example, securitised assets and repurchase transactions.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of Heartland Bank Limited incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of all controlled entities. Controlled
entities are all entities in which the bank is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to
affect those returns through its power over the investee. Intercompany transactions, balances and any unrealised income and expense (except
for foreign currency transaction gains or losses) between controlled entities are eliminated.

The assets and liabilities of entities whose functional currency is not the New Zealand dollar, are translated at the exchange rates ruling at

balance date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the spot rate at the transaction date or a rate approximating that rate. Exchange

differences are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve.

Disclosure Statement For The Year Ended 30 June 2016

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2016

Estimates and judgements

The preparation of the banking group's financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgement. This note provides an overview of the

areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included

in the relevant notes together with the basis of calculation for each affected item in the financial statements.



Provisions for impairment - The effect of credit risk is quantified based on management's best estimate of future cash repayments and

proceeds from any security held or by reference to risk profile groupings and historical loss data. Refer to Note 19(e) for further details.



Goodwill - Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities of acquired businesses requires the exercise of management judgement. The

carrying value of goodwill is tested annually for impairment, refer to Note 15(b)(ii).

The estimates and judgements used in the preparation of the banking groups financial statements are continually evaluated. They are based on

historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity.

Performance

1 Segmental analysis

Segment information is presented in respect of the banking group's operating segments which are those used for the banking group's

management and internal reporting structure.

All income received is from external sources, except those transactions with related parties, refer to Note 15(d) - Related party transactions.

Certain selling and administration expenses, such as premises, IT and support centre costs are not allocated to operating segments and are

included in Administration and Support (Admin & Support).

Operating segments

The banking group operates predominantly within New Zealand and comprises the following main operating segments:

Households

Providing a comprehensive range of financial services to New Zealand families (including term, transactional and

savings based deposit accounts together with mortgage lending (residential and home equity release), motor vehicle

finance and consumer finance) and some specific financial services to Australian seniors (home equity release

mortgage lending).

Business

Rural

Providing term debt, plant and equipment finance, commercial mortgage lending and working capital solutions for

small-to-medium sized New Zealand businesses.

Providing specialist financial services to the farming sector primarily offering livestock finance, rural mortgage

lending, seasonal and working capital financing, as well as leasing solutions to farmers.

The banking group's operating segments are different than the industry categories detailed in Note 19 - Asset quality. The operating segments

are primarily categorised by sales channel, whereas Note 19 - Asset quality categorises exposures based on credit risk concentrations.

During the period ended 30 June 2016, the following changes were made to the banking group's operating segments:

- a business unit previously reported in the Household division was moved to the Business division.

- lending through Harmoney, which was previously reported in the Business division, was moved to the Household division. 

- the non-core property segment was moved into the Business division.

Comparative information has been restated to be consistent with the current reporting period.

Interest income and expense is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is established on initial

recognition of the financial assets and liabilities and is not revised subsequently. The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all yield

related fees and commissions paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

Interest on the effective portion of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is initially recognised in the hedging reserve. It is released to

profit or loss at the same time as the hedged item or if the hedge relationship is subsequently deemed to be ineffective.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST. As the banking group is predominantly involved in providing financial

services, only a proportion of GST paid on inputs is recoverable. The non-recoverable proportion of GST is treated as part of the cost of

acquisition of the asset or is expensed.

Financial Position

9 Investments

The banking group holds investments in bank bonds and floating rate notes, local authority stock, public securities, corporate bonds and equity

investments. Equity investments are classified as being fair valued through profit or loss and the fair value is based on unobservable inputs. All

other investments held are classified as being available for sale and are stated at fair value less impairment, if any. The fair values are derived

by reference to published price quotations in an active market or modelled using observable market inputs.

11 Finance receivables

Finance receivables are initially recognised at fair value plus incremental direct transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised

cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment loss. 

Past due but not impaired assets are any assets which have not been operated by the counterparty within their key terms but are not considered

to be impaired by the banking group.

Individually impaired assets are those loans for which the banking group has evidence that it will incur a loss, and will be unable to collect all

principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan. 

Restructured assets are impaired assets where the banking group expects to recover all amounts owing although the original terms have been

changed due to the counterparty's difficulty in complying with the original terms of the contract and the amended terms are not comparable with

similar new lending.

Credit impairment provisions are made where events have occurred leading to an expectation of reduced future cash flows from certain
receivables. These provisions are made in some cases against an individual loan and in other cases on a collective basis. When all appropriate
collection and legal action has been performed and the loan is known to be uncollectible, it is written off against the related provision for
impairment.

Finance lease receivables

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the

lessee. Amounts due from finance leases are recognised as finance receivables at the amount of the banking group's net investment in the

leases. The table below provides an analysis of finance lease receivables for leases of certain property and equipment in which the banking

group is the lessor.

Goodwill was tested for impairment as at 30 June 2016. In assessing impairment, an internal valuation model was developed to indicate the

value of the business. This value was compared to the net assets of the banking group. There was no indication of impairment and no

impairment losses have been recognised against the carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015: nil).

The banking group’s management and Board of Directors have assessed that goodwill should be allocated to the banking group as a cash-

generating unit, as this is the cash generating unit at which goodwill is assessed for impairment and to which any future economic benefit will

arise.

16 Fair value

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices or dealer price

quotations.  For all other financial instruments, the banking group determines fair value using other valuation techniques.

The banking group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the

measurements.

-

-

-

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices)

or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The banking group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period during which the change

has occurred.

(a) Financial instruments measured at fair value

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial asset and liability measured at fair value

on a recurring basis in the Statement of Financial Position.

Investments

Investments in public sector securities and corporate bonds are classified as being available for sale and are stated at fair value, with the fair

value being based on quoted market prices (Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy) or modelled using observable market inputs (Level 2 under

the fair value hierarchy).  Refer to Note 9 - Investments for more details.

Investments valued under level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued either based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar

instruments, or discounted cash flows analysis.

Investments in unlisted equity securities are classified as being fair valued through profit or loss and are valued under Level 3 of the fair value

hierarchy, with the fair value being based on unobservable inputs.

Finance receivables

Fixed rate Home Equity Release loans classified as finance receivables are stated at fair value with the fair value being based on present value

of future cash flows discounted using observable market interest rates  (Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy).

Derivative items

Interest rate swaps are classified as held for trading and are recognised in the financial statements at fair value. Derivatives are initially

recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Fair

values are determined on the basis of discounted cash flow analysis using observable market prices and adjustments for counterparty credit

spreads. (Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy).

The following table analyses financial instruments measured at fair value at the reporting date by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which

each fair value measurement is categorised. The amounts are based on the values recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.

16 Fair value (continued)

(b) Financial instruments not measured at fair value

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial assets and liabilities not recognised at fair

value but for which fair value is calculated for disclosure purposes under level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets and liabilities

The fair value of all cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets and liabilities is considered equivalent to their carrying value due to

their short term nature.

Finance receivables

The fair value of the banking group's finance receivables is calculated using a valuation technique which assumes the banking group's current

weighted average lending rates for loans of a similar nature and term.

The current weighted average lending rate used to fair value finance receivables with a fixed interest rate was 8.65% (2015: 8.95%). Finance

receivables with a floating interest rate are deemed to be at current market rates. The current amount of credit provisioning has been deducted

from the fair value calculation of finance receivables as a proxy for future losses. Prepayment rates have not been factored into the fair value

calculation as they are not deemed to be material.

Borrowings

The fair value of deposits, bank borrowings and other borrowings is the present value of future cash flows and is based on the current market

interest rates payable by the banking group for debt of similar maturities. The current market rate used to fair value borrowings is 3.29% (2015:

4.32%).

Other financial assets and financial liabilities

The banking group has not disclosed the fair values for financial instruments such as short-term trade receivables and payables, because their

carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of fair values.

The following table sets out the fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value and analyses them by the level in the fair value

hierarchy into which each fair value measurement is categorised.

Risk Management

17 Risk management policies

The banking group is committed to the management of risk and operates an Enterprise Risk Management Program (RMP) across four primary

risk domains; credit, liquidity, market (including interest rate), and operational & compliance. The banking group's risk management strategy is

set by the board of directors (Board). The banking group has put in place management structures and information systems to manage risks

incorporated in the RMP. The banking group has separate monitoring tasks where feasible and subjects all risk processes to hindsight and

internal audit, and accounting systems to regular internal and external audits.

Role of the Board and the Board Risk Committee

The Board, through its Board Risk Committee (BRC) is responsible for the overall risk management process and the development of the RMP.

The role of the BRC is to assist the Board to formulate its risk appetite, understand the risks the banking group faces and to ensure that all policy

and decisions are made in accordance with the banking group's corporate values and guiding principles. The BRC has the following

responsibilities:

- 

- 

- 

- 

- 

To advise the Board on the formulation of the Board’s Statement of Risk Appetite at least annually. 

To review reports from management concerning the RMP in the context of the Risk Appetite Statement in order to assure the Board of the

programme’s effectiveness. 

To review reports from management concerning transactions involving risks in excess of the CRO’s authority limits in order to recommend

to the Board any appropriate approvals or provide such approval where the BRC has delegated authority. 

To review reports from management concerning changes anticipated in the economic, business and regulatory environment (including

consideration of emerging trends) and other factors considered relevant to the Risk Appetite Statement, in order to monitor them and advise 

the Board of any new risks or opportunities that could have a significant financial, regulatory or reputational impact. 

To review reports from management concerning the Bank’s internal compliance policies in order to advise the Board of their effectiveness

and recommend their approval or variation (or, where the BRC has been delegated authority, as set out in the Policy Register, to itself

approve or vary them).

The BRC consists of four non-executive, independent directors. In addition the CRO and CFO attend the BRC meetings, and the CEO and

directors who are not members of the BRC are entitled to attend BRC meetings. The BRC meets at least bi-monthly to review identified risk

issues, and reports directly to the Board. A member of the BRC sits on the Audit Committee and vice versa.

Audit Committee and Internal Audit

The banking group has an internal audit function, the objective of which is to provide independent, objective assurance over the internal control

environment. In certain circumstances, Internal Audit will provide risk and control advice to Management provided the work does not impede the

independence of the Internal Audit function. The function assists the bank in accomplishing its objectives by bringing a systematic and disciplined

approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. 

Internal audit is allowed full, free and unfettered access to any and all of the organisation’s records, personnel and physical properties deemed

necessary to accomplish its internal audit activities.

A regular cycle of review has been implemented to cover all areas of the business, focused on assessment, management and control of risks.

The audit plan takes into account cyclical review of various business units and operational areas, as well as identified areas of higher identified

risk. The audit methodology is designed to meet or exceed the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing of The

Institute of Internal Auditors. 

Each audit has specific audit procedures tailored to the area of business that is being reviewed. The audit procedures are updated during each

audit to reflect any process changes. Audit work papers are completed to evidence the testing performed in accordance with the audit

procedures.

Audit reports are addressed to the manager of the relevant area that is being audited in addition to other relevant stakeholders within the bank.

Management comments are obtained from the process owner(s) and are included in the report.

The internal audit function has direct reporting lines, and accountability to the Audit Committee of the bank and administratively to the CRO. A

schedule of all outstanding internal control issues is maintained and presented to the Audit Committee to assist the Audit Committee to track the

resolution of previously identified issues. Any issues raised that are categorised as high risk are specifically reviewed by internal audit during a

follow-up review once the issue is considered closed by management. The follow-up review is performed with a view to formally close out the

issue.

The Audit Committee focuses on financial reporting and application of accounting policies as part of the internal control and risk assessment

framework. The Audit Committee monitors the identification, evaluation and management of all significant risks through the banking group. This

work is supported by internal audit, which provides an independent assessment of the design, adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls.

The Audit Committee receives regular reports from internal audit.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2016

17 Risk management policies (continued)

Audit Committee and Internal Audit (continued)

Charters for both the BRC and the Audit Committee ensure suitable cross representation to allow effective communication pertaining to identified

issues with oversight by the Board. The CRO has a direct reporting line to the Chairman of the Board. The Head of Internal Audit has a direct

reporting line to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO)

The ALCO comprises the CEO (Chair), Head of Banking, CFO, CRO and Treasurer. The ALCO has responsibility for overseeing aspects of the

banking group's financial position risk management. The ALCO usually meet monthly, and reports to the BRC. The purpose of the ALCO is to

support the BRC with specific responsibilities for decision making and oversight of risk matters in relation to:

-  Market risk (including non-traded interest rate risk and the investment of capital)
-  Liquidity risk (including funding)
-  Foreign exchange rate risk
-  Balance sheet structure
-  Capital management

Executive Risk Committee (ERC)

The ERC comprises the CEO (Chair), Head of Banking, CFO, CRO, Chief Strategy Advisor, Head of Internal Audit, Head of Retail and

Consumer, Head of Rural, Head of Business, Head of Human Resources and Group General Counsel. The ERC has responsibility for

overseeing all risk aspects not considered by ALCO, including that the internal control environment is managed so that residual risk is consistent

with the banking groups risk appetite. The purpose of ERC is to support the BRC with specific responsibilities for decision making and oversight

of the following risk categories:

-  Operational and compliance risk
-  Credit risk
-  Strategic risk
-  Legal and governance risk
-  Business risk

Operational & compliance risk

Operational & compliance risk is the risk arising from day to day operational activities in the execution of the banking group's strategy which may

result in direct or indirect loss. Operational & compliance risk losses can occur as a result of fraud, human error, missing or inadequately

designed processes, failed systems, damage to physical assets, improper behaviour or from external events. The losses range from direct

financial

losses, to reputational damage, unfavourable media attention, loss of staff or clients as a breach of laws or banking regulations.

Examples include failure to comply with policy and legislation, human error, natural disasters, fraud and other malicious acts. Where appropriate,

risks are mitigated by insurance.

To ensure appropriate responsibility is allocated for the management, reporting and escalation of operational & compliance risk, the banking

group operates a “three lines of defence” model which outlines principles for the roles, responsibilities and accountabilities for operational &

compliance risk management:

- 

- 

- 

The first line of defence is the business line management of the identification, management and mitigation of the risks associated with the

products and processes of the business. This accountability includes regular testing and certification of the adequacy and effectiveness of

controls and compliance with the banking group’s policies.

The second line of defence is the Risk & Compliance function, responsible for the design and ownership of the Operational & Compliance

Risk framework. It incorporates key processes including Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA), incident management, independent

evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of the internal control framework, and the self-certification process.

The third line of defence is audit. Internal Audit is responsible for independently assessing how effectively Heartland is managing its risk

according to stated risk appetite.

The banking group’s exposure to operational & compliance risk is governed by a policy approved by the Board and managed by the ERC. This

policy sets out the nature of risk which may be taken and aggregate risk limits, and the ERC must conform to this.

Foreign exchange rate risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the banking group’s earnings and shareholder equity position are adversely impacted from changes in

foreign exchange rates. The banking group has exposure to foreign exchange translation risks through its Australian subsidiaries (which have a

functional currency of AUD), in the forms of profit translation risk and balance sheet translation risk.  

Profit translation risk is the risk that deviations in exchange rates have a significant impact on the reported profit. Balance sheet translation risk

is the risk that whilst the foreign currency value of the net investment in a subsidiary may not have changed, when translated back to the New

Zealand dollars (NZD), the NZD value has changed materially due to movements in the exchange rates. Foreign exchange revaluation gains and

losses are booked to the Foreign currency translation reserve. Substantial foreign exchange rate movements in any given year may have an

impact on other comprehensive income. The banking group manages this risk by setting and approving the foreign exchange rate for the

upcoming financial year and entering into hedging contracts to manage the foreign exchange translation risks.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2016

18 Credit risk exposure

Credit risk is the risk that a borrower will default on any type of debt by failing to make payments which it is obligated to do so. The risk is

primarily that of the lender and includes loss of principal and interest, disruption to cash flows and increased collection costs.

Credit risk is managed to achieve sustainable risk-reward performance whilst maintaining exposures within acceptable risk “appetite”

parameters. This is achieved through the combination of governance, policies, systems and controls, underpinned by commercial judgement as

described below.

To manage this risk the BRC oversees the formal credit risk management strategy. The BRC reviews the Banking Group's credit risk exposures

on a quarterly basis to ensure consistency with the Banking Group's credit policies to manage all aspects of credit risk. The credit risk

management strategies ensure that:

-  Credit origination meets agreed levels of credit quality at point of approval.

-  Sector and geographical risks are actively managed.

- 

Industry concentrations are actively monitored.

-  Maximum total exposure to any one debtor is actively managed.

-  Changes to credit risk are actively monitored with regular credit reviews.

The banking group has adopted a detailed Credit Risk Framework which contains further detail and appetite regarding the above credit risk

management strategies. The Framework is the overarching Credit Risk document and is supported further by Lending Standards that provide

criteria for finance products within each business sector. The combination of the Credit Risk Framework and Lending Standards guides credit

assessment, credit risk grading, documentation standards, legal procedures and compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements.

The BRC has authority from the Board for approval of all credit exposures. Lending authority has been provided to the Banking Group's Credit

Committee, for delegation through the business units under a detailed Delegated Lending Authority framework. Application of credit discretions in

the business operation are monitored through a defined review and hindsight structure as outlined in the Credit Risk Oversight Policy. Delegated

Lending Authorities are provided to individual officers with due cognisance of their experience and ability. Larger and higher risk exposures

require approval of senior management, the Credit Risk Committee and ultimately through to the BRC.

The banking group employs a comprehensive process of hind sighting loans to ensure that credit policies and the quality of credit processes are

maintained.

Home equity loans and negative equity risk

Home equity release loans are a form of mortgage lending targeted toward the seniors market. These loans differ to conventional mortgages in

that they typically are not repaid until the borrower ceases to reside in the property. Further, interest is not required to be paid, it is capitalised

with the loan balance and is repayable on termination of the loan. As such, there are no incoming cash flows and therefore no default risk to

manage during the term of the loan. Credit risk becomes 'negative equity' risk through the promise to customers that they can reside in their

property for 'as long as they wish' and repayment of their loan is limited to the net sale proceeds of their property.

The banking group's exposure to negative equity risk is managed by Credit Risk Policy in conjunction with associated lending standards specific

for this product. Both New Zealand and Australia home equity operations are similarly aligned. The policy is managed and reviewed by Credit to

ensure appropriate consistency across locations.

Credit exposure concentrations are derived in accordance with the bank's conditions of registration, BS2A and BS8 and disclosed on the basis of

actual credit exposures and calculated on a gross basis (net of individual credit impairment allowances and excluding advances of a capital

nature). The banking group does not have credit exposures to connected persons other than non-bank connected persons. Peak end-of-day

credit exposures to non-bank connected persons have been calculated using the banking group’s Tier 1 capital at 30 June 2016.

The rating-contingent limit, which is applicable to the banking group, based on the Conditions of Registration imposed by the RBNZ is 15%.

There have been no rating-contingent limit changes during the accounting period. Within the rating-contingent limit there is a sub-limit of 15% of

Tier 1 capital, which applies to the aggregate credit exposure to non-bank connected persons.

There are no individual credit impairment allowances against credit exposures to non-bank connected persons as at 30 June 2016.

Exposures to connected persons are not on more favourable terms (e.g. as relates to such matters as credit assessments, tenor, interest rates,

amortisation schedules and requirement for collateral) than corresponding exposures to non-connected persons.

The banking group does not have any contingent exposures to connected persons arising from risk lay-off arrangements as at balance date.

(f) Credit exposure to individual counterparties

At 30 June 2016 the banking group did not have any period end or peak end-of-day credit exposures over 10% of equity to individual

counterparties (not being members of groups of closely related counterparties) or groups of closely related counterparties (excluding central

government of any country with a long-term credit rating of A- or A3 or above, or its equivalent, or any bank with a long-term credit rating of A- or

A3 or above, or its equivalent, and connected persons) (2015: nil).

The peak aggregate end-of-day credit exposure is determined by taking the maximum end-of-day aggregate amount of credit exposure over the

period. The amount is then divided by the banking group's equity as at the end of the quarter. Credit exposures disclosed are based on actual

exposures. The credit rating is applicable to an entity’s long term senior unsecured obligations payable in New Zealand, in New Zealand dollars.

The banking group's receivables are monitored either by account behaviour or a regular assessment of their credit risk grade based on an

objective review of defined risk characteristics. The portfolio risk is regularly refreshed based on current information.

The banking group classifies finance receivables as Behavioural or Judgement. 

The Behavioural portfolio consists of consumer, retail and home equity release receivables and usually relates to financing of or the acquisition

of a single asset.

Consumer loans are typically introduced by vendors of the asset financed and are smaller in value than Judgement loans. Consumer and retail

loans are risk graded based on arrears status.

Consumer and retail loans are classified as either not in arrears, active, arrangement, non-performing / repossession or recovery, as described

below:

• 

• 

• 

• 

Active – loans for which the arrears category has reached 5 days overdue.

Arrangement – 5 to 34 days overdue accounts for which arrangements have or are in the process of being made for arrears to be repaid.

Non-performing / Repossession – residential mortgage loans that are greater than 90 days past due / other loans for which security has or

is in the process of being repossessed.

Recovery loans – loans for which security has been sold and shortfalls are being sought from the customer or where other recovery action

is being taken.

The banking group also lends funds on its home equity release product which is considered behavioural but has no arrears characteristics.

These loans are assessed on origination against a pre-determined criteria supported by an actuarial assessment of future losses. The

assumptions embedded in that assessment are reviewed annually against actual experience.

The Judgement portfolio consists mainly of Business and Rural

lending. Judgement loans relate to loans where an on-going and detailed

working relationship with the customer has been developed.

Judgement loans are individually risk graded based on loan status, financial information, security and debt servicing ability. Exposures in the

Judgement portfolio are credit risk graded by an internal risk grading mechanism.

In the Judgement portfolio, grade 1 is the strongest risk grade for undoubted risk and grade 9 represents the weakest risk grade where a loss is

probable. Grade 10 reflects loss accounts written off. Grades 2 to 8 represent ascending steps in management's assessment of risk of

exposures. The banking group typically finances new loans in risk grades 2 to 5 of the Judgement portfolio.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2016

19 Asset quality (continued)

(e) Provision for impairment

Credit impairment provisions are made where events have occurred leading to an expectation of reduced future cash flows from certain

receivables. These provisions are made in some cases against an individual loan and in other cases on a collective basis.

Bad debts provided for are written off against individual or collective provisions. Amounts required to bring the provisions to their assessed levels

are recognised in profit or loss. Any future recoveries of amounts provided for are recognised in profit or loss.

Collective provisioning

The term collectively impaired asset refers to an asset where an event has occurred of which past history indicates that there is an increased

possibility that the banking group will not collect all its principal and interest as it falls due. No losses have yet been identified on these individual

loans within the collectively impaired asset grouping, and history would indicate that only a small portion of these loans will eventually not be

recovered. The banking group provides fully for its expected losses on collectively impaired assets.

Collective provisions are assessed with reference to risk profile groupings and historical loss data. Other judgemental factors including economic

and credit cycle considerations are also taken into account in determining appropriate loss propensities to be applied. The future credit quality of

these portfolios is subject to uncertainties that could cause actual credit losses to differ materially from reported loan impairment provisions.

These uncertainties include the wider economic environment, interest rates and their effect on customer spending, unemployment levels,

payment behaviour and bankruptcy rates.

No provisions are applied to loans that are newly written and loans that remain within their contractual terms, except where the banking group

becomes aware of an event that might alter its view of the risk of a particular deal or group of deals.

Individual provisioning

Specific impairment provisions are made where events have occurred leading to an expectation of reduced future cash flows from certain

receivables. For individually significant loans for which the assessed risk grade is considered a “potential loss”, an individual assessment is

made of an appropriate provision for credit impairment.

Credit impairments are recognised as the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the discounted value of management’s best

estimate of future cash repayments and proceeds from any security held (discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate). All relevant

considerations that have a bearing on the expected future cash flows are taken into account, including the business prospects for the customer,

the likely realisable value of collateral, the banking group’s position relative to other claimants, the reliability of customer information and the likely

cost and duration of the work-out process. Subjective judgements are made in this process. Furthermore, judgement can change with time as

new information becomes available or as work-out strategies evolve, resulting in revisions to the impairment provision as individual decisions are

taken. Changes in judgement could have a material impact on the financial statements.

Adequacy of the collective provision levels for each risk grouping is measured against historical loss experience at least annually. Adequacy of

individual provisions is assessed in respect of each loan on a material development or at least quarterly.

For Behavioural loans, excluding home equity release loans, arrears drive provision outcomes. Each arrears classification carries a provision for

potential loss based on historical experience for that classification in the same portfolio.

20 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the banking group is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due. The timing mismatch of cash flows and

the related liquidity risk is inherent in all banking operations and is closely monitored by the banking group.

Management of liquidity risk is designed to ensure that the banking group has the ability to generate or obtain sufficient cash in a timely manner

and at a reasonable price to meet its financial commitments on a daily basis.

The banking group’s exposure to liquidity risk is governed by a policy approved by the Board and managed by the ALCO. This policy sets out the

nature of risk which may be taken and aggregate risk limits, and the ALCO must conform to this. The objective of the ALCO is to derive the most

appropriate strategy for the banking group in terms of the mix of assets and liabilities given its expectations of future cash flows, liquidity

constraints and capital adequacy. The banking group employs asset and liability cash flow modelling to determine appropriate liquidity and

funding strategies. 

The banking group holds the following financial assets for the purpose of managing liquidity risk:

Contractual liquidity profile of financial assets and liabilities

The following tables present the banking group's financial assets and liabilities by relevant maturity groupings based upon contractual maturity

date. The amounts disclosed in the tables represent undiscounted future principal and interest cash flows. As a result, the amounts in the tables

below may differ to the amounts reported on the balance sheet. 

The contractual cash flows presented below may differ significantly from actual cash flows. This occurs as a result of future actions by the

banking group and its counterparties, such as early repayments or refinancing of term loans and borrowings. Deposits and other public

borrowings include customer savings deposits and transactional accounts, which are at call. History demonstrates that such accounts provide a

stable source of long term funding for the banking group.

The banking group does not manage its liquidity risk on a contractual liquidity basis.

21 Interest rate risk

The banking group's market risk is derived primarily of exposure to interest rate risk, predominantly from raising funds through the retail and

wholesale deposit market, the debt capital markets and committed and uncommitted bank funding, securitisation of receivables, and offering loan

finance products to the commercial and consumer market in New Zealand and Australia.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of assets or liabilities will change because of changes in interest rates or that market interest rates may

change and thus alter the margin between interest

earning assets and interest

bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk for the banking group refers to

the risk of loss due to holding assets and liabilities that may mature or re-price in different periods.

‐

‐

The banking group’s exposure to market risk is governed by a policy approved by the Board and managed by the ALCO. This policy sets out the

nature of risk which may be taken and aggregate risk limits, and the ALCO must conform to this. The objective of the ALCO is to derive the most

appropriate strategy for the banking group in terms of the mix of assets and liabilities given its expectations of the future and the potential

consequences of interest rate movements, liquidity constraints and capital adequacy.

To manage this market risk, the banking group measures sensitivity to interest rate changes by frequently testing its position against various

interest rate change scenarios to assess potential risk exposure. The banking group also manages interest rate risk by:

-  Monitoring maturity profiles and seeking to match the re-pricing of assets and liabilities (physical hedging);

-  Monitoring interest rates daily and regularly (at least monthly) reviewing interest rate exposure; and

- 

 Entering into forward rate agreements and interest rate swaps and options to hedge against movements in interest rates.

The tables above illustrate the periods in which the cash flows from interest rate swaps are expected to occur and affect profit or loss.

The management of interest rate risk against interest rate gap limits is supplemented by monitoring the sensitivity of the banking group's financial

assets and liabilities to various standard and non standard interest rate scenarios. Standard scenarios which are considered on a monthly basis

include a 100 basis point parallel fall or rise in the yield curve. There is no material impact on profit or loss in terms of a fair value change from

movements in market interest rates. Furthermore there is no material cash flow impact on the Statement of Cash Flows from a 100 basis point

change in interest rates.

The banking group operates a number of share-based compensation plans that are equity settled. The fair value determined at the grant date is

expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, based on the banking group's estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest,

with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the banking group revises its estimate of the number of equity

instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative

expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the employee benefits reserve.

(a) Share-based compensation plan details

Heartland LTI Net Share Settled Plan (LTI Plan)

The LTI Plan has been allotted under three tranches (referred to as the 2013, 2014 and 2015 tranches). Under the LTI Plan participants are

granted an option to acquire shares in the bank. The number of shares granted upon exercise of the options is based on the difference between

the market price of the shares on the exercise date and the reference price.

The market price is the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the bank's ordinary shares on the NZX Main Board (Heartland Shares) for

the 20 business days immediately before (but excluding) the exercise date for those options. The reference price will be 5% over the VWAP of

Heartland shares for the 20 business days immediately following, but not excluding, the reference date. The reference dates of the 2013, 2014

and 2015 tranches are 26 August 2013, 25 August 2014 and 18 August 2015 respectively.

The options are subject to the participants continued employment with the banking group for the service period of 3 years which begins on 1 July

2012, 1 July 2013 and 1 July 2014 for the 2013, 2014 and 2015 plans respectively. Participants in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 tranches will be able

to exercise their options between September 2015 to 1 July 2017, September 2016 to 1 July 2018 and September 2017 to 1 July 2019

respectively.

2015 Special Grant (LTI SG)

Participants of the LTI SG will be able to exercise the options in the period beginning on the date the market price of Heartland shares is equal to

$1.50 and ending on 1 July 2017. Market price is calculated based on the VWAP of a Heartland share for the 10 business days immediately

before (but excluding) the exercise date for those options. The options are subject to the participants continued employment with the banking

group for the service period of 3 years which begins on 1 July 2014. Following exercise a lock up period until 1 July 2020 will apply during which

participants are restricted from disposing of shares. 

The reference price is the amount (if any) by which the market price of Heartland shares at the time of exercise exceeds $1.00 (based on a

volume weighted average price of Heartland shares for the prior 20 business days), plus the aggregate amount of cash dividends (cents per

Heartland share) paid by the bank in the period from 1 April 2015 until and including the date the options are exercised. However, for the

purpose of calculating the settlement amount, the market price of Heartland shares is capped at $1.50 and any increase above this amount shall

be disregarded.

Senior Executive Scheme (SES)

The SES was established in June 2016 as a replacement of the LTI Plan and LTI SG for certain affected participants only (Senior Executives).

Under the SES, Senior Executives forfeited their options under the 2014 and 2015 tranches of the LTI Plan and the LTI SG as consideration for

the grant of shares under the SES. Under the SES, selected Senior Executives purchased Heartland shares with proceeds from a settlement

amount paid to them by the bank. The shares are unable to be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Senior Executive until 30 June 2019. Until

then, if the Senior Executive ceases their employment with the bank, the bank has a call option requiring the Senior Executive to give the shares

back to the bank for no consideration.

The SES has been treated as a modification of the Senior Executive entitlements under the 2014 and 2015 tranches of the LTI Plan and the LTI

SG. The incremental fair value granted is $0.49 million based on the value of shares acquired under the SES less the fair value of the benefits

forfeited under the 2014 and 2015 tranches of the LTI Plan and the LTI SG.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2016

26 Capital adequacy

The banking group is subject to regulation by the RBNZ. The RBNZ has set minimum regulatory capital requirements for banks that are

consistent with the internationally agreed framework developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The resulting Basel II and III

requirements define what is acceptable as capital and provide for methods of measuring the risks incurred by the banking group.

The banking group’s Conditions of Registration prescribes minimum capital adequacy ratios calculated in accordance with the Capital Adequacy

Framework (Standardised Approach) BS2A.

The banking group has adopted the Basel II standardised approach per RBNZ BS2A to calculate its regulatory requirements. Basel II is made up

of the following three Pillars:

-

-

-

Pillar 1 sets out the minimum capital requirements for credit, market and operational and compliance risks.

Pillar 2 is designed to ensure that banks have adequate capital to support all risks (not just those set out under Pillar 1 above) and is

enforced through the requirement for supervisory review.

Pillar 3 outlines the requirements for adequate and transparent disclosure.  

Basel III was developed in order to strengthen the regulation, supervision and risk management of the banking sector. The measures aim to

improve the banking sector's ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress; improve risk management and governance; and 

strengthen banks' transparency and disclosures. The requirements that impact capital are as follows:

-

-

-

-

The level of capital required to be held by banks increased through the introduction of new minimum capital requirements for Common

Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital, Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital and Total capital as a percentage of risk-weighted-assets (RWA's).

A capital conservation buffer held over and above the minimum capital ratio requirements used to absorb losses during periods of financial

and economic stress.

A counter-cyclical capital buffer be held and to be used at the RBNZ’s discretion, to assist in attaining the macro-prudential goal of

protecting the banking sector from periods of extraordinary excess aggregate credit growth.

Strengthen the calculation of RWAs, particularly in respect of counterparty credit risk.

The Basel

III requirements have not effected the banking group's minimum capital requirements as the banking group’s Conditions of

Registration prescribe minimum capital requirements higher than the Basel III requirements.

The capital adequacy tables set out on the following pages summarise the composition of regulatory capital and the capital adequacy ratios for

the banking group as at 30 June 2016.

Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)

The bank has an ICAAP which complies with the requirements in 'Guidelines on a Bank's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process

("ICAAP")' BS12 and is in accordance with its Conditions of Registration.

The Board has overall responsibility for ensuring the banking group has adequate capital in relation to its risk profile and establishes minimum

internal capital levels and limits above the regulatory minimum. The banking group has established a Capital Management Policy (CMP) to

determine minimum capital

levels for tier one and total capital under Basel III and in accordance with its Conditions of Registration. The

documented process ensures that the banking group has sufficient available capital to meet minimum capital requirements, even in stressed

events. It describes the risk profile of the banking group and the risk appetite and tolerances under which it operates, and assesses the level of

capital held against the material risks of the bank (both Pillar One and Pillar Two). 

The ICAAP identifies the additional capital required to be held against other material risks, being concentration risk, strategic / business risk,

reputational risk, regulatory risk and model risk. See Note 26(l) for further details. 

Compliance with minimum capital levels is monitored by ALCO and reported to the Board monthly. The ICAAP and CMP is reviewed annually by

the Board.

In accordance with BS2A, ordinary share capital is classified as Common Equity Tier 1 Capital and is not subject to phase-out from eligibility as

capital under the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's Basel III transitional arrangements. The ordinary shares have no par value. Each ordinary

share of the bank carries the right to vote on a poll at meetings of shareholders, the right to an equal share in dividends authorised by the Board

and the right to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of the bank in the event of liquidation.

Reserves

Available for sale reserve

The available-for-sale reserve comprises the changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities, net of

tax. These changes are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the asset is either derecognised or

impaired.

Hedging reserve

The hedging reserve comprises the fair value gains and losses associated with the effective portion of

designated cash flow hedging instruments.

Defined benefit reserve

The defined benefit plan reserve represents the excess of the fair value of the assets of the defined benefit

superannuation plan over the net present value of the defined benefit obligations.

Retained earnings

Retained earnings is the accumulated profit or loss that has been retained in the banking group.

Subordinated bond

Heartland's 2018 Subordinated Bonds (the Bonds) constitute Tier 2 Capital of the banking group. The Bonds had an issue period from 12 July

2013 to 15 December 2013 and have a maturity date of 15 December 2018. The Bonds pay quarterly interest in arrears at a rate of 6.5% per

annum, provided the bank will be solvent immediately after the payment is made. The bank may elect to repay the Bonds prior to 15 December

2018 if a regulatory event or tax event occurs and provided it will be solvent immediately after the repayment and the Reserve Bank has

consented to the repayment. The Bonds are subordinated to all other general liabilities of the banking group and are denominated in New

Zealand dollars.

If the Reserve Bank or a Statutory Manager requires the bank to write down the Principal Amount and/or the interest on the Subordinated Bonds,

the Bonds will be written down and could be reduced to zero to comply with the Reserve Bank’s loss absorbency requirements. The bank has not 

had any defaults of principal, interest or other breaches with respect to these Bonds.

Peak end of day aggregate capital charge at the end of the period is derived by following the risk methodology for measuring capital

requirements within Part 10 of the Standardised Approach. Peak end of day aggregate capital charge is derived by determining the maximum

end of month capital charge over the reporting period. Based on the portfolio of the banking group’s risk exposures, it is considered by

management that the difference between end of month aggregate capital charge and end of day aggregate capital charge is insignificant.

For the purposes of calculating capital adequacy on a solo basis, subsidiaries which are both wholly owned and wholly funded by the bank are to

be consolidated with the bank. Therefore, capital adequacy on a solo basis is calculated based on the bank and its subsidiaries excluding ABCP

Trust, SW Trust and ASF Trust.

(l) Capital for other material risks

In addition to the material risks included in the calculation of the capital ratios, the banking group has identified other material risks to be included

in the capital allocation (being concentration risk, strategic / business risk, reputational risk, regulatory and model risk). As at 30 June 2016, the
banking group has made an internal capital allocation of $85.83 million to cover these risks (2015: 68.7m)1.

Disclosure Statement For The Year Ended 30 June 2016

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2016

27 Insurance business, securitisation, funds management, other fiduciary activities

Insurance business

The banking group conducts insurance business through its subsidiary MARAC Insurance.

The banking group's aggregate amount of insurance business comprises the total consolidated assets of MARAC Insurance of $8.80 million,

which is 0.25% of the total consolidated assets of the banking group.

The banking group's objective is to minimize the insurance risk to within acceptable levels through policies and procedures implemented by

management. Should adverse conditions arise, these policies and procedures are expected to mitigate the impact of the conditions on the

banking group.

Marketing and distribution of insurance products

The banking group markets and distributes term life insurance and general

insurance covering risks such as redundancy, bankruptcy or

suspension of employment. The insurance products are underwritten by MARAC Insurance Limited, a subsidiary of the banking group. During

the year ended 30 June 2016, there have been no material changes in the banking group's marketing and distribution of insurance products.

Securitisation

As at 30 June 2016, the banking group had securitised assets amounting to $296 million (2015: $278 million). These assets have been sold to

ABCP Trust (a special purpose vehicle investing in motor vehicle, truck and trailer and commercial loans originated by the banking group and

funded through the issuance of commercial paper and also through liquidity facilities). Note 24 - Structured entities provides further information

on the securitised assets. 

The bank received fees for various services provided to the securitisation vehicles on an arm's length basis, including servicing fees. These fees 

were recognised as earned. All securitisation vehicles form part of the banking group.

Funds management and other fiduciary activities

The banking group, through Heartland PIE Fund Limited, controls, manages and administers the Heartland Cash and Term PIE Fund and its

products (Heartland Call PIE and Heartland Term Deposit PIE). Note 24 - Structured entities has further details. The Heartland Cash and Term

PIE Fund deals with the bank in the normal course of business, in the bank's capacity as Registrar of the Fund and also invests in the bank's

deposits. The banking group provides investment advice to a number of clients, which includes the provision of other fiduciary activities. The

banking group is considered to control the Heartland Cash and Term PIE Fund, and as such the Heartland Cash and Term PIE Fund is

consolidated within the financial statements of the banking group.

Risk management

The banking group has in place policies and procedures to ensure that the fiduciary activities identified above are conducted in an appropriate

manner. It is considered that these policies and procedures will ensure that any difficulties arising from these activities will not impact adversely

on the banking group. The policies and procedures include comprehensive and prominent disclosure of information regarding products, and

formal and regular review of operations and policies by management and internal and external auditors. Further information on the banking

group's risk management policies and practices is included in Note 17 - Risk management policies.

Provision of financial services and asset purchases

Over the accounting period, financial services provided by the banking group to entities which were involved in the activities above (including

trust, custodial, funds management and other fiduciary activities) were provided on arm's length terms and conditions and at fair value.

Any assets purchased from such entities have been purchased on arm's length terms and conditions and at fair value.

The bank provided funding to ABCP Trust, which is a member of the banking group involved in securitisation activities. This funding is provided

to facilitate the purchase of asset backed securities from the banking group in order to support the securitisation facility.

Directors' responsibility for the disclosure statement 

The directors are responsible for the preparation of the disclosure statement, including financial 
statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  Clause  24  of  the  Order  and  generally  accepted 
accounting practice in New Zealand, that is a fair presentation of the matters to which they 
relate.  The  directors  are  also  responsible  for  such  internal  controls  as  they  determine  are 
necessary to enable the preparation of the banking group financial statements that are free from 
material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. 

The  directors  are  responsible  for  the  preparation  and  fair  presentation  of  supplementary

judgement,  including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  banking 
group’s financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, 
the  auditor  considers  internal  controls  relevant  to  the  banking  group’s  preparation  of  the 
banking group’s financial statements that present fairly the matters to which they relate in order 
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of

The remuneration for Executive Directors includes a fixed remuneration component and a variable remuneration component comprising short-
term incentives and/or long-term incentives. Long-term incentives are offered to selected employees (including the Executive Directors in their 
capacity as employees) in order to:

• 

• 

Incentivise and motivate participants to continue in employment with the Heartland group for the applicable service period;

Incentivise and motivate participants to exercise long-term thinking to contribute to the long-term success of the Heartland group; and

•  Align the interests of participants with those of Heartland and its shareholders.

the benefits received under the scheme is spread (for accounting purposes) until 30 June 2019. Further detail on the scheme is set out below.

Long-term incentive schemes
Set out below is a brief description of Heartland’s long-term 
incentive schemes for its employees as at 30 June 2016. Further 
information is set out in Note 25 of the financial statements.

Senior Executive Scheme
The Senior Executive Scheme (SES) effects an agreed settlement 
of the options previously issued to certain senior executives 
(Senior Executives) under the Share Settled Options Plan 
described below. The settlement occurred in June 2016.

The options were settled following an agreement between 
Heartland and the Senior Executives that the options had 
achieved their objectives and therefore should be capped. To 
effect the settlement, the Senior Executives agreed to forfeit the 
options issued to them in respect of the 2014 and 2015 financial 
years in consideration for the issue of Heartland shares. The 

Senior Executives have agreed to hold those shares in escrow 
(i.e., to not sell or otherwise transfer ownership) until 30 June 
2019 or the occurrence of a change of control event (Release 
Date). A call option enables Heartland to require the Senior 
Executive to transfer their shares back to Heartland for no 
consideration in the event the Senior Executive ceases their 
employment at any time before the Release Date.

Share Settled Options Plan
Under the Share Settled Options Plan (Options Plan), selected 
employees were granted share settled options (Options), being 
a right (the exercise of which is contingent and dependent 
on certain factors, including continued employment by the 
Heartland group and the market value of Heartland’s shares) 
to receive in the future Heartland shares as incentive based 
remuneration.

The key terms of the Options Plan are:

•  When Options are exercised, a settlement amount is 

•  The Options are linked to a three year service period beginning 
on the first day of the financial year in respect of which the 
options are granted.

•  The employee can exercise their Options at any time during 
a specified exercise period which generally commences 20 
business days after Heartland’s annual results announcement 
for the last financial year of the service period and ends 
approximately two years later. 

•  The reference price of each Option is an amount equal to 5% 
over the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Heartland 
shares on the NZX over 20 business days immediately following 
the issue date of the Options (Reference Price).

calculated. The settlement amount is the amount by which (as 
multiplied by the number of Options):

 – The VWAP of Heartland shares on NZX over 20 business days 

immediately preceding the exercise date (Market  
Price), exceeds

 – the Reference Price, less the aggregate amount of cash 

dividends (cents per share) paid by Heartland in the period 
from the date those Options were granted until and including 
the exercise date for those Options.

•  The employee receives Heartland shares having an aggregate 

Market Price equal to the settlement amount.

The number of employees of Heartland and its subsidiaries (including former employees), other than directors, who received remuneration, 
including non-cash benefits, in excess of $100,000 during the year ended 30 June 2016 is set out in the remuneration bands detailed below.

Auditors’ Fees
KPMG has continued to act as auditors of Heartland and its 
subsidiaries. The amount payable by Heartland and its subsidiaries 
to KPMG as audit fees during the year ended 30 June 2016 was 
$479,000. The amount of fees payable to KPMG for non-audit work

fees were primarily for regulatory compliance services and they 
complied with the Heartland’s External Auditor Independence Policy.

Credit Rating
As at 1 September 2016, Heartland had a Fitch Australia Pty Limited 
long-term credit rating of BBB (outlook stable).

Exercise of NZX Disciplinary Powers
NZX Limited did not exercise any of its powers under Listing Rule 5.4.2 
in relation to Heartland during the year ended 30 June 2016.

NZX Waivers
Set out below is a summary of all waivers granted to Heartland by NZX 
Limited within, or relied on by Heartland, within the 12 month period 
preceding 30 June 2016. Heartland has also relied on a waiver from NZX 
Limited relating to director nominations for its 2016 Annual Meeting.

For the purposes of the amalgamation of Heartland New Zealand 
Limited and Heartland Bank Limited that took effect on 31 December 
2015, Heartland was granted waivers from the following Listing Rules 
in relation to the nomination, appointment, election and retirement of 
directors at its 2015 Annual Meeting:

Listing Rule 3.3.5

NZX waived the requirement that the proposed directors of Heartland 
who were existing directors of Heartland Bank Limited, but not 
existing directors of Heartland New Zealand Limited, be nominated 
by a shareholder on the basis that shareholders were already familiar 
with these proposed directors and therefore this requirement was an 
unnecessary procedural step. Heartland did not believe this waiver 
prejudiced shareholders’ rights under this Listing Rule, especially 
as shareholders still had the opportunity to nominate additional 
directors during Heartland’s director nomination period.

Listing Rule 3.3.6

NZX waived the requirement that the directors appointed by the 
Board during the course of 2015 were required to retire with effect at 
the 2015 Annual Meeting on the basis that all existing directors either 
retired or retired and sought re-election with effect on 31 December 
2015. The directors who would ordinarily have been required to retire 
and seek re-election at the 2015 Annual Meeting under Listing Rule 
3.3.6 were Deborah (Jane) Taylor and Jeffrey Greenslade (who was 
reappointed by the board as an executive director before his term of 
appointment reached 5 years as required by Listing Rule 3.3.9). 

NZX also waived the requirement that the directors appointed to 
Heartland on the amalgamation (by being named in the resolutions 
passed by the board) seek re-election at Heartland’s 2016 Annual 
Meeting on the basis that they were approved by shareholders at the 
2015 Annual Meeting and the ordinary rotation requirements in Listing 
Rule 3.3.11 apply from 31 December 2015. The waiver was granted on 
the conditions that:

•  all of Heartland’s existing directors retired at the 2015 Annual 
Meeting with effect from 31 December 2015 (however, they 
were eligible for election as directors of Heartland at the 2015 
Annual Meeting); 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the amalgamation resolutions, which specified the names of 
the persons who were to be the directors of Heartland upon 
amalgamation, only named persons who were elected by 
Heartland’s shareholders at the 2015 Annual Meeting as directors 
of Heartland; 

the waiver, its conditions and their implications are clearly and 
prominently disclosed in Heartland’s annual report for each year 
the waiver is relied on; 

this waiver and its implications were explained in Heartland’s 
notice of meeting for the 2015 Annual Meeting; and 

this waiver and its implications are explained in Heartland’s 
notice of meeting for the 2016 Annual Meeting. 

Listing Rule 3.3.11

NZX waived the requirement that a number of Heartland’s directors 
retire by rotation at the 2015 Annual Meeting on the basis that all 
existing directors either retired or retired and sought re-election with 
effect from 31 December 2015. The directors who would ordinarily 
have been required to retire by rotation (but would be eligible for 
re-election) at the 2015 Annual Meeting under Listing Rule 3.3.11 were 
one of Christopher Mace and Gregory Tomlinson (as determined by  
the Board).

Heartland also obtained a waiver from Listing Rule 3.3.5 to the 
extent it prohibited Heartland from imposing a precondition on the 
nomination of a director to its board. A waiver was required because 
Heartland is a registered bank and, before any person can be 
appointed as a director, that person must satisfy certain requirements 
of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ). 

Satisfaction of these requirements is therefore a precondition to 
Heartland accepting any director nomination. The effect of this 
precondition is that the RBNZ must provide its non-objection to the 
proposed appointment of any nominee before the closing date for 
director nominations. Heartland has relied on this waiver in respect of 
any director nominations for its 2016 Annual Meeting. The waiver was 
granted on the conditions that:

• 

• 

satisfaction of the RBNZ’s requirements is the only precondition 
to Heartland accepting a director nomination;

the waiver, its conditions and their implications are clearly and 
prominently disclosed in Heartland’s annual report for each year 
the waiver is relied on;

•  Heartland gives not less than 30 business days’ notice of the 

closing date for director nominations;

•  Heartland gives an overview of the RBNZ’s requirements in the 

same notice; and

•  Heartland assists any prospective nominee with the 

administrative steps required to meet the RBNZ’s requirements 
by providing the necessary documentation to be completed by 
the nominee, procuring a New Zealand criminal history check 
and submitting all information to the RBNZ for assessment.
