Despite ongoing challenges presented by the COVID pandemic, our company has continued to meet, and in some areas exceed, key goals and objectives – both financially and in terms of servicing the needs of our growing customer base. We completed the 2022 financial year in a strong position, with increased market share and sound underlying profitability. As many shareholders will be aware, MyState has in recent years undergone significant change in its business model. From our historical roots as a solid and trusted regional Tasmanian credit union, we are now well advanced in our successful transformation into a modern financial services company with a strong home base in Tasmania, a digital online focus and an expanding national customer base. The changes have so far delivered gratifying results – not least making MyState among the fastest growing banks in Australia, as measured by home loan market share, during the financial year. A key driver of this expansion has been our building of partnerships with independent mortgage brokers – committed financial professionals who are uniquely placed to meet the diverse needs of borrowers in their local communities across Tasmania and in the mainland states where we have been growing our business. Through this approach we remain true to our company ethos, which prioritises customer service. I believe the results presented in this annual report provide further vindication of our approach. t r o p e r s ’ n a m r i a h C 8 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Operating performance Growth strategy Statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) for the financial year was the second highest on record at $32.0 million, but down 11.9% from the previous financial year’s record $36.3 million. The reduction was largely due to higher operating costs associated with our strategic investment in distribution capacity, marketing and brand building to support our national growth strategy. Earnings per share decreased 22.6% to 30.3 cents. Core earnings (operating profit before restructure costs, bad and doubtful debts expense and income tax) fell by 17.4% to $44.3 million, with total operating income up 1.2% and operating expenses up 12.9%, reflecting the upfront investment in growth. The cost-to-income ratio (excluding restructure costs in FY21) rose by 710 bps to 68.4% for the full year. The total loan book grew by 24.1% to $6.94 billion, and home loan book growth of 25.5% equated to 3.1x system growth (+8.15%). Customer deposits grew by 25.1% to reach $5.6 billion. TPT Wealth’s commercial loan book was up 33.9% to $354 million, reflecting improved distribution capability in our Tasmanian home market. Dividend and capital In the 2022 financial year, the Board determined to pay a final dividend of 11.5 cents per share, fully franked, equivalent to a payout ratio of 79.2% of after-tax earnings. This decision is in line with our current dividend guidance range and strikes the right balance between pursuing our growth strategy and rewarding shareholders with dividends. The Board also elected to fully underwrite any shortfall in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan to help support the next phase of balance sheet growth. On 23 August 2022, MyState announced it had successfully priced $65 million of fully paid, mandatorily convertible subordinated perpetual debt securities that are eligible to be recognised as Additional Tier 1 regulatory capital. The funds raised from these capital initiatives will be used to support future balance sheet growth. Our achievement of 14.8% growth in new bank customers in the past financial year, including 12,827 new customers in the three eastern seaboard mainland states, is testament to the success of our multi-pronged expansion strategy in a highly competitive banking landscape. In addition to building and nurturing a network of mortgage brokers in mainland states, we have achieved consistently fast loan approval turnaround times and enhanced our digital banking platforms – while maintaining a highly visible and accessible branch network across Tasmania. TPT Wealth is also well placed for growth, following completion of a major brand and strategy review to take the 135-year-old wealth management business into the future. Our people Since the easing of COVID restrictions, I’ve been able to meet more frequently with staff in Tasmania. Our employees continue to deliver for our customers and for each other. I am particularly grateful to team members for their feedback on ways in which we might further improve customer experience. Our customers Through the outstanding efforts of employees in our Hobart-based call centre and branch networks, and our friendly customer support teams, we’ve maintained a high level of customer advocacy, ending FY22 with an internally measured net promoter score of +43, among the highest in the sector. We also received industry acknowledgement of our recent achievements in the banking market, including awards for our competitive range of banking products and for our lending teams. t r o p e r s ’ n a m r i a h C 9 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 From our historical roots as a solid and trusted regional Tasmanian credit union, we are now well advanced in our successful transformation into a modern financial services company with a strong home base in Tasmania, a digital online focus and an expanding national customer base. Retirement of Chairman and Managing Director I would like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Miles Hampton, who retired as Chair of MyState Limited in March 2022, having served on the Board with distinction for 13 years, including nine as Chair. Together with former Managing Director and CEO Melos Sulicich, Miles played a pivotal role in the bank’s successful transition to a modern digital platform – without compromising the high-quality customer service that has made MyState Limited such a trusted and successful brand over so many years. Miles has left us with solid foundations to continue growing this great business. I thank him for his friendship and guidance in my new role as Chair. Melos retired as Managing Director and CEO in December 2021 after seven years in the role. Having announced his retirement in early 2020, he agreed to a request from the Board to stay on and guide the business through the challenges of the global pandemic. I thank him for this commitment, and for his key role in driving the evolution of MyState to a digital bank with a human touch. Our bright future under a new Managing Director and CEO Our new Managing Director and CEO, Brett Morgan, who assumed his role in January 2022, has a distinguished and successful history in banking, including international banking and Fintech experience. I know from personal experience that Brett stands for what he believes in, challenges the status quo and puts the customer at the centre of his decisions. t r o p e r s ’ n a m r i a h C 10 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 We have now built the platform for an ambitious growth program that will ensure we can provide the services that customers expect, career opportunities for our people and acceptable shareholder returns which can be maintained over the longer term. We’re investing in branches and building a concept that delivers on our brand promise – the human touch. We want banking to be more personal, and we’re looking for ways to evolve our traditional branches. Deposit gathering is a key to our strategy and our branches play a leading role in delivering this growth. MyState’s investment in brand, customers, digital capabilities and simple, straightforward customer-focused processes puts us in a solid position to increase market share in a competitive banking landscape. I thank my fellow directors for their commitment, contribution and support as we implement our ambitious growth strategy. Finally, and most importantly, I’d like to thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support. I believe we have much to look forward to together. Vaughn Richtor Chairman Managing Director’s report Total loan book $6.9b Home loan applications increased 89% Home loan settlements increased 93% Customer deposits grew 25.1% With the support of our shareholders through a $55.5 million capital raise in June 2021, we have successfully launched MyState’s 2025 growth strategy – an ambitious yet financially prudent plan for sustained expansion of our market share in deposits, lending and funds under management to 2025 and beyond. Having completed a full year since the launch of the growth strategy, the FY22 results detailed in this report confirm that the strategy is on track. While operating conditions remained highly competitive, we performed strongly, growing our customer base and significantly increasing our home loan book and customer deposits. t r o p e r s ’ r o t c e r i i D g n g a n a M In line with our strategy to increase direct lending into our funds, our TPT Wealth commercial loan book also grew by 33.9%. We are continuing to build the wealth management side of the business and have seen some early positive momentum in our home market of Tasmania. 12 12 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Our internally measured Net Promotor Score (NPS) of +43 reflects our commitment to putting positive customer experiences at the core of everything we do, and proves we are delivering the best possible customer service. To support the execution of our growth strategy, we invested in additional marketing and distribution capacity and capability, as well as key digital and operational initiatives – while preserving and maintaining our company culture focused on delivering positive and intuitive customer experiences. This focus, together with our recent issue of Additional Tier 1 capital, will enable us to continue to build on our current growth momentum and create value for shareholders. Our strategy will also build on our strong financial position, demonstrated execution capability and leading customer advocacy to access growth opportunities from an increasingly geographically diverse customer base. Financial overview Our financial results for FY22 were pleasing in the context of the major investments undertaken in our growth strategy – our net profit after tax of $32 million was the second highest on record. Total operating income was up 1.2% and other banking and wealth management-related income up 12.6%. While total loan book grew to $6.94 billion, net interest income dipped by 1.5%. This reduction was due primarily to a lower net interest margin reflecting above-system home loan book growth and a more competitive landscape, particularly for fixed rate home loans. These factors were partly offset by lower funding costs and a higher average balance sheet. The upfront investment in our growth strategy resulted in an increase in the cost-to-income ratio to 68.4%, and pre-provision operating profit was 17.4% lower than the prior year. As foreshadowed at the time of the capital raise in June 2021, this investment in growth has led to dilution in earnings per share and return on equity for the year. Accelerating home loan and retail deposit growth Despite an increasingly competitive home lending environment, we achieved strong lending growth throughout FY22, with home loan applications up 89% and settlements up 93%. MyState has also continued to provide strong customer service with no deterioration in home loan approval times despite the significant increase in application volumes. Customer deposits grew 25.1% in the 12 months to June 2022, and we achieved 14.8% growth in new- to-bank customers. Our customer funding ratio remained stable, decreasing slightly from 73.4% to 73.1%. Growth in retail customer numbers will continue underpin the competitive positioning of the business. MyState Bank’s reliance on securitisation reduced during the year as a result of the increase in customer deposits but will remain an important source of funding and additional capital flexibility. TPT Wealth transformation now allows scale TPT Wealth’s operating income was up 8.8% on the prior year, driven by trustee services-related revenue. While funds under management dipped by 3.9% to $1.062 billion, TPT Wealth has enhanced its distribution capacity and seen growth of 33.9% in the commercial lending book, the key asset class for our income funds. In FY22, TPT Wealth became a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment, a prerequisite to growing funds under management in target segments of the wealth market. Customer experience We remain very pleased with our customer engagement. In short, our customers trust us. MyState staff seek to deliver a positive customer experience with every interaction, and deliver a human way to bank, enabled by technology. Our NPS remains among the highest in the sector. It reflects our efforts to empower customers both through digital services and care with a human touch. Culture and community Our unique and positive culture has been a key enabler of our results. While we have always been very customer- focused, our culture of continuous improvement provides the capacity to adapt to new challenges and meet our customers’ evolving needs. The Tasmanian community is an integral part of MyState’s DNA. It defines who we are, what we stand for and our attitude, tone and style. In another big year for our community programs, we continued our sponsorship of Football Tasmania, the MyState Bank Student Film Festival and the MyState Bank Arena, while also joining the Tasmania JackJumpers as a major partner for their inaugural successful season. I am very proud of the whole MyState team and want to especially thank our frontline branch and Tasmanian contact centre teams for the way they continue to serve our customers so brilliantly in these challenging times. t r o p e r s ’ r o t c e r i i D g n g a n a M 13 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Building on our strong financial position and the trust of our customers, we are well placed to continue to simplify financial services and make our products and services easier and more intuitive for our customers to use. We are focused on improving customers’ digital and human experience across both MyState Bank and TPT Wealth and will continue to simplify our products, processes and systems. Looking ahead While the financial services environment continues to be competitive and will operate under increasing regulation, MyState’s ambition of increasing our market share across deposits, lending and funds under management does not change. Building on our strong financial position and the trust of our customers, we are well placed to continue to simplify financial services and make our products and services easier and more intuitive for our customers to use. We are focused on improving customers’ digital and human experience across both MyState Bank and TPT Wealth and will continue to simplify our products, processes and systems. We have built a culture that continually innovates and improves services to deliver accelerated growth, while maintaining asset quality. As we grow, we will deliver operating leverage as well as return-on-equity accretion and growth in earnings per share over the medium term, thereby creating value for shareholders and all our stakeholders. This marks my first report to MyState shareholders. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first eight months at MyState, meeting and working with our wonderful staff and engaging with our customers, shareholders and community. The business is in a strong position to deliver on the 2025 strategy. I am excited about what the future holds. Brett Morgan Managing Director and CEO t r o p e r s ’ r o t c e r i i D g n g a n a M 14 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Our strategy Our ambition is to grow our share in deposits, lending and funds under management To help people achieve their dreams Everyday banking Lending Asset management Trustee services Transaction accounts Home loans Saving accounts Investment loans Term deposits Digital Brokers Branches (Tas) Mobile lenders (Tas) Contact centre Digital Contact centre Core offering Key channels Distribution and service Mortgage funds Commercial lending Wills and estate planning Estate administration Charitable trusts Relationship managers Direct Digital Asset consultants Our people and values underpin our strategy Create customer ‘wow’ Chase the better Collaborate to win We are executing the boldest strategy in our history with an overarching ambition to grow our share in deposits, lending, and funds under management. Our people and values underpin our strategy The strategy will see us seeking to take advantage of our position as a respected and established digital challenger brand with demonstrated capability in making financial things simpler for our customers. The unique combination of services offered by MyState Bank and TPT Wealth means we can help people across all life stages. We do this through our core offerings of everyday banking products, home and investment loans, asset management and commercial lending, and our trustee services business. These products and services are delivered through our key channels. For MyState, this encompasses digital, mortgage brokers, mobile lenders in Tasmania, and our Tasmanian branches and contact centre. For our TPT Wealth business, our key channels include digital and relationship managers. Having the right culture and capability is fundamental to the success of our growth strategy. We have invested in working with our people to develop and embed three core values to position ourselves to execute the 2025 strategy: › ‘Create customer wow’ where we are designing and delivering exceptional customer experiences with a human touch. We can do this because we think and act in the best interests of our customers, appreciate their perspectives and are clear and trustworthy. › ‘Chase the better’ is being bold so we can embrace the change that is continually required to succeed and always drive better outcomes. We are simplifying and digitising to deliver things faster and more accurately. › ‘Collaborate to win’ is about openly sharing information so we can collectively make informed decisions, while caring for each other, our customers and other stakeholders. y g e t a r t s r u O 16 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 We have reduced the number of administration and process-oriented roles and increased staff numbers in customer facing, servicing, and marketing roles to cater for increasing customer numbers at the service levels they want – in order to create ‘customer wow’. We are undertaking several programs to train and upskill staff, develop team capabilities and grow a company- wide culture of continuous improvement and innovation – ‘chase the better’. This will attract new talent that promotes our growth objectives and ensures operational excellence focused on the value of ‘collaborate to win’. In FY22, through our commitment to culture and capability and new core values, we have increased our employee engagement score from 64% to 71%. Our strategy is also supported by a strong risk culture that is embedded into the values of MyState employees, all of whom have undertaken risk management training. This allows us to stay true to our human approach to banking and wealth management, backed by a strong digital capability and enhanced by our customer-facing digital proposition. Executing on our growth strategy We have achieved much in the first year of our growth strategy. We have grown our home loan book by 25.5% and broadly matched this with growth in customer deposits of 25.1% over the year. We also increased new to bank customers by 14.8%. Alongside this, and in line with our strategy to increase direct lending into our funds, our TPT Wealth commercial loan book grew by 33.9%. Our investment in the growth strategy is delivering. The investment into our distribution capability and capacity has delivered great momentum across both the MyState Bank and TPT Wealth lending books. The investment in marketing has supported the acceleration in customer and customer deposit growth. The growth in TPT Wealth lending has directly contributed to improved returns for TPT Wealth investors. We have also won a number of awards, reflecting the quality of our products and services, and the value we deliver to our customers and partners. Increasing investment in ESG For MyState, sustainability across our operations is about how we create value for all stakeholders over the long- term. We are making a conscious effort to integrate tangible changes to the way we operate our business in six key areas. The most pertinent to us are governance, sustainability, digital enablement and data security, supporting our customers, helping people be their best, and community investment. During FY22 we calculated our baseline scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions footprint, as well as identifying and prioritising MyState’s climate change risks and opportunities in the short, medium and long term. We are also committed to calculating the financed emissions from our loan book in future periods. Once we understand our combined operational and financed emissions impact, we will explore appropriate emissions reduction targets and initiatives. During the year TPT Wealth also become a signatory of the Principles for Responsible Investment – or PRI. As a new signatory, TPT is fully committed to adopting the Principles and we expect to increase transparency in our use of ESG data over the next few years. Outlook As we look to the future, we will continue to execute our 2025 growth strategy , centred on increasing our market share across deposits, lending and funds under management. We are very focused on improving our customers’ digital and human experience across MyState Bank and TPT Wealth. And we will continue to simplify our products, processes and systems. Though we are in uncertain times and a highly competitive market environment, we believe these conditions play to our strengths. We are a unique, proven business, with a strong brand and position in Tasmania which has consistently delivered in the past, and is now delivering on the early stages of our 2025 growth strategy. y g e t a r t s r u O 17 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 MyState Bank Over the course of its 64-year history, MyState Bank has built an enviable reputation as one of Tasmania’s most trusted financial institutions. Our status is built not just on dependability and strong financial performance, but on our attention to the individual needs and wants of our customers. The human way to bank Today, as we enter the next phase of our transformation into a modern nationwide banking operation centred on a digital offering, we have not forgotten the fundamental ‘human’ elements of our traditional business model that have underpinned our success in Tasmania over so many decades. The pursuit of our 2025 growth strategy into the mainland is predicated on bringing our large, loyal local customer base with us. This includes maintaining and constantly improving our traditional bank branch network across Tasmania, as well as our Hobart contact centre. Beyond Tasmania, MyState is using the strength of its ‘human’ approach to expand nationally, with a particular focus on better online and app experiences for new and existing customers. We have also created valuable relationship-based partnerships with mortgage brokers across the eastern seaboard, building on the trust in our brand, people and products. The MyState approach, succinctly conveyed in our campaign slogan ‘the human way to bank’, is producing impressive results on many levels – not least in the rapid expansion of our home loan business. We’re now one of Australia’s fastest growing home loan lenders, with a fast loan approvals process that is consistently delivering conditional approval turnaround times of two business days. The bank ended the FY22 with close to 160,000 customers, including 19,500 who joined us over the previous 12 months. Our efforts are also reflected in strong industry recognition and customer surveys. In the past year we received industry awards for our competitive banking products, broker relations and excellence in our mortgage and lending teams. Though we remain a challenger brand with a traditional ‘human’ approach, we are proudly making big strides in a highly competitive banking industry. Customer-focused innovation Over the past five years, MyState Bank has invested heavily in digital banking capabilities to automate back- end processes and accelerate applications, providing a more seamless customer banking experience. We’ve introduced AI and have over 30 robotics processes at work in our back office. Together, these changes have significantly improved customer wait times and accuracy and provided a platform for us to further scale up our operations. Our increasing visibility in alternative channels, including mobile app and online, allows us to fuel growth outside our traditional core branch network, and is yielding strong results. More than 74% of our customers are now registered to use internet and mobile banking, while 58% of all customers are opting to receive their statements electronically. Our technology is helping customers save money and time Now in its second year, MyState Bank’s real-time data analytics tool, Insights, has provided 330,000 personalised messages to customers. The messages predict when bills are due, tell customers whether they have enough funds to cover upcoming expenses, k n a B e t a t S y M 19 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Beyond Tasmania, MyState is using the strength of its ‘human’ approach to expand nationally, with a particular focus on better online and app experiences for new and existing customers. We have also created valuable relationship-based partnerships with mortgage brokers across the eastern seaboard, building on the trust in our brand, people and products. Home loan book growth We have successfully deployed the majority of the additional capital raised in June 2021, recording home loan book growth of 25.5%, which is significantly above industry average, and settlements up 93% on the previous corresponding period. MyState Bank’s continued focus on low-risk, owner-occupied lending underpins our balance sheet strength. Customer deposits growth Customer deposits grew 25.1% to $5.6 billion during the year, as our increased marketing initiatives and brand presence on the mainland started to take effect. Marketing investment in Tasmania and the mainland While we have strong brand presence in our home state of Tasmania, we have significantly expanded our marketing activities across Australia. Our sponsorship of the MyState Bank Arena and partnership with breakthrough National Basketball League team the Tasmania JackJumpers ensured our brand reached new audiences across Australia, with an overriding strategy of driving new customers, deposits and lending opportunities. and also provide people with the ability to automatically move their money between accounts when conditions allow. MyState Bank’s auto-savings tool has found and automatically saved almost $2 million for customers in the past year. On average, that works out at more than $2,000 for each customer subscribed to the program, with our best performer saving almost $15,000. Strong customer advocacy A major system upgrade has allowed MyState to construct a leading support operation for customers when they phone the bank, allowing for a more efficient use of resources and intuitive and quicker outcomes for customers. Through the great efforts of both the Hobart contact centre, our branch networks and friendly support teams, we’ve maintained our strong customer advocacy scores. Supported by our focus on the ‘human way to bank’, we ended FY22 with an internally measured net promoter score of +43, among the highest in the sector. Investment in the broker channel Our focus on building and nurturing our mainland mortgage broker network and on improving loan approval turnaround times (which are among the best in the industry) has helped us to improve market share in a highly competitive banking landscape. The geographic diversification of our home loan book continues to improve, with 71.5% of settlements and 64.5% of our home loan book being from outside of Tasmania. k n a B e t a t S y M 20 20 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Approach to risk Our risk management frameworks ensure risks are identified, managed and mitigated on a timely basis. We undertake regular reviews of the risk frameworks to meet our regulatory obligations and deliver the best outcomes for our customers and stakeholders. have further strengthened our risk frameworks and enhanced the integrity of our commitments to our customers. We also continued to build a culture of risk accountability among our employees, facilitating training programs, alerting employees to indicators of risk, initiating timely closure of risk incidents, and providing recognition for employees who championed our risk principles. The maturity of our ‘3 lines of defence’ framework was also enhanced through the operation of Divisional Risk Committees. Throughout the year, we also kept our Pandemic Response Plan active, serving our customers without disruption, while continuing to support employees during periods of absence. Vulnerable customers were supported via our customer contact centre and branches, and we remained conscious of our duty of care to customers who need additional assistance. The MyState loan portfolio grew strongly during the year within Board approved risk limits, and this has been a key factor in maintaining the quality of the loan portfolio. The Bank’s prudent lending practices helped us deliver arrears outcomes considerably below the benchmark of our regional peers and the major banks. Management of financial and non-financial risks is a key focus of our business, and an integral part of the platform upon which we’ve built our 2025 growth strategy. Throughout FY22, we continued to embed a strong culture of risk awareness and accountability across the organisation. The risk strategy for the past year was built on three pillars: › Promotion of risk management principles to support a healthy risk culture › A Risk Framework that is appropriate to the size and complexity of the business, and that is dynamic, iterative and responsive to change › Digitisation and simplification of risk management processes to support business growth and productivity Our risk management frameworks ensure risks are identified, managed and mitigated on a timely basis. We undertake regular reviews of the risk frameworks to meet our regulatory obligations and deliver the best outcomes for our customers and stakeholders. We continue to enhance our risk controls to manage our information security, cyber and fraud risks while supporting and protecting our customers. During the past year, we implemented significant initiatives in response to a changing regulatory environment. The initiatives included new design and distribution principles, enhanced customer complaints processes, anti-hawking controls and enhanced breach reporting obligations. These measures k s i r o t h c a o r p p A 22 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 TPT Wealth Our commercial lending business had an outstanding year, with the commercial loan book growing by 33.9%, following further investment in distribution capacity. TPT Wealth delivered a solid performance in FY22, with an 8.8% increase in operating income to $14.8 million achieved amid the implementation of significant positive changes across the business. TPT Wealth is now well positioned for further growth through operational efficiencies, product enhancements and an expansion of business development resources across Tasmania and eastern seaboard states. Our managed funds division was strengthened after investors voted in November 2021 to approve changes to the Select Mortgage Fund, resulting in a more differentiated offering of income funds to investors. The quality of these funds was acknowledged by the independent SQM Research, which gave all three of our income funds four-star ‘superior’ ratings during FY22. In line with the mainland digital growth strategy for MyState Bank, TPT Wealth continued to expand its presence online with growing investor appetite for digital interactions leading to the increasing uptake of the self-serve investor portal. TPT Wealth also responded during the year to increasing investor demand for consideration of ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues in investment. We were pleased to formally commit to an ESG agenda, becoming a signatory to the United Nations-supported Principles for Responsible Investment. Our commercial lending business had an outstanding year, with the commercial loan book growing by 33.9%, following further investment in distribution capacity. The business was successfully relaunched into the Tasmanian market with a series of innovative new commercial lending products, and an expansion of our client relationship team across our Hobart, Launceston and Burnie offices. Our Trustee Services business also experienced strong growth, with a 40% increase in the number of estates managed. h t l a e W T P T 23 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 2022 ESG update Our approach As a proud Tasmanian company, we understand the importance of our operations mitigating our environmental, social and governance impacts. Our materiality assessment represents the ESG issues that matter most to our organisation. In 2021, six key materiality issues were validated and prioritised by MyState. In 2022, with support from internal stakeholders, we have further explored these material issues to better understand how we are creating value for our stakeholders over the long-term, and to integrate tangible changes to the way we operate our business in these areas. This has meant an increased ability to more accurately understand and calculate the impact our business How we listen and engage operations have on the environment – the ‘E’ in ESG - through our inaugural Task force on climate-related financial disclosures (TCFD). TCFD is a globally recognised standard set of recommendations used by more than 3,000 leading organisations that either prepare or use financial disclosures, with the aim of building a more resilient financial system through climate-related disclosure. Importantly, this focus has not been at the exclusion of social and governance considerations– the ‘S’ and ‘G’ –as our stakeholders also want to know what we are doing to address matters such as human rights, customer vulnerability and the communities in which we operate. The quantitative measures of ESG will provide the foundations for us to integrate them into our business operations. MyState’s stakeholder groups include customers, shareholders, investors, our people, communities, regulators, government and suppliers.

In future years, we will focus on integrating climate risks and opportunities into these risk management processes. Metrics and targets Credit risk exposure At 30 June 2022 the MyState Bank loan book size was $6.9b and TPT Wealth had funds under management of $1.06b. We do not lend to coal, oil or gas projects. Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions This year, MyState calculated its baseline Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions associated with the activities and facilities that support the business’ everyday operations. FY21 emissions calculations were prepared in accordance with Australian government standards, namely the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard for Organisations, and reflect the consolidated group (excluding the MyState Foundation). This calculation does not include financed emissions. MyState recognises the importance of understanding the emissions associated with our lending portfolio and investments and will be calculating our financed emissions in future periods. Once we understand our combined operational and financed emissions impact, we will explore appropriate emissions reduction targets and initiatives. As our response to climate change evolves, we will identify metrics to track performance against climate commitments and most material climate risks and opportunities.

The Directors have declared a fully franked final dividend of 11.5 cents per share. The dividend will be payable on 7 September 2022 to shareholders on the register at the record date of 19 August 2022, taking the dividend for the full year to 24.0 cents per share. Operating and financial review Financial performance The Group recorded a net profit after income tax for the year ended 30 June 2022 of $32.0m, a decrease of 11.9% on the prior corresponding period (pcp) to 30 June 2021 of $36.3m. Earnings per share (EPS) was 30.34 cents per share (FY21: 39.18 cents per share) and return on equity (ROE) was 7.7%. In June 2021, ordinary share capital of $55.5m was raised to rapidly accelerate MyState’s growth strategy. At the time, the Board indicated that EPS and ROE would be diluted in FY22 as the new capital is deployed to support home loan book growth and operating expenses would increase to support customer, lending and deposit growth. t r o p e r ’ s r o t c e r i D 34 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Group net profit after tax ($m) Total loan book composition ($m) 36.3 32.0 30.1 FY20 FY21 FY22 The total loan book (excluding capitalised acquisition costs) grew $1,347m or 24.1% on pcp. The home loan book grew $1,390m (25.5% or 3.1 times system growth) during the period. MyState will continue to target home loan portfolio growth momentum with continued discipline and focus on asset quality. Pre-provision operating profit of $44.3m decreased 17.4% on pcp, largely driven by an increase in operating costs of $11.0m or 12.9%. MyState’s 2025 strategy to accelerate growth and create scale led to increased investment in distribution capacity, investment in building the MyState brand on the mainland and customer acquisition-focused marketing. The strategy to grow market share in deposits, lending and funds under management (FUM) continues to gain momentum, as evidenced by loan book and customer deposit growth, and a 14.8% uplift in new customers joining MyState in the past 12 months. The Momentum Intelligence’s 2022 Third Party Lending annual survey of 1,050 residential mortgage brokers ranked MyState Bank as the strongest third- party provider of 14 small banks, testament to the trusted relationship MyState has built with the broker community. MyState was also awarded Mozo’s ‘Expert’s Choice Award’ in the ‘First Home Buyer Loan’ category and for the ‘Bonus Saver’ product, further acknowledging the successful execution of the strategy combined with a relentless focus on customers. Despite a period of significant change and the challenges presented by COVID-19 over the last two years, MyState’s internally measured customer net promoter score was +43 at 30 June 2022 and remains strong. MyState Bank Exceptional lending growth and high credit quality maintained in FY22 MyState Bank’s loan portfolio grew 24.1% from 30 June 2021, reaching $6,939m at 30 June 2022. 6,939 101 6,838 5,592 5,276 145 5,447 174 5,102 June 20 June 21 June 22 Housing Loans Other Loans (personal / business / overdrafts) Impairment recoveries were $0.2m lower than pcp, reflecting the reduction in the forward looking economic overlay at 30 June 2021, as a result of the improved economic outlook at that time. MyState’s 30 and 90-day arrears remain below industry benchmarks at 0.41% and 0.20% respectively (30 June 2021: 0.55% and 0.24%). Central banks globally have a fine balancing act ahead, to manage inflation down without stalling economic activity and pushing economies into recession. While arrears are lower than 12 months ago, the flow on effect of recent increases in the official cash rate, and expected future increases, may not become visible for months. Consequently, at 30 June 2022, the forward looking economic overlay of $0.9 million (forms part of the collective provision for impairment) remains unchanged from 31 December 2021. The Bank remains focused on low-risk, owner- occupied lending with a loan to valuation ratio (LVR) of less than 80%. Exposure to investor and interest-only lending remains relatively low compared to sector averages. The increase in loans with an LVR greater than 90% since June 2020 reflects the success of the Bank’s participation in the Federal Government’s First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS) which is all owner-occupied lending. The FHLDS is an Australian Government initiative to support eligible customers purchase their first home sooner with as little as a 5% deposit. The National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation (NHFIC) provides a guarantee of up to a maximum amount of 15% of the value of a property (as assessed by MyState) purchased under the scheme. t r o p e r ’ s r o t c e r i D 35 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Home loan book – LVR profile ($m) 354 372 343 4,033 507 411 339 4,190 752 467 298 5,321 >90% 85-90% 80-85% 22% <80% 78% June 20 June 21 June 22 Net interest margin (NIM) trend Net interest income was down $1.7m or 1.5% on pcp with the fall in NIM reflecting competition in the market for new home loans, partly offset by lower funding costs and above-system loan book growth. Average NIM decreased by 29 bps to 1.67% on pcp. NIM in the month of June 2022 was 1.57% (30 June 2021: 1.89%), in line with average NIM for the second half. 1.86% 1.96% 1.77% 1.57% 1.67% Customer deposits increased by 25.1% in the period driven by growth in the award winning Bonus Saver Account with the majority of customers acquired via digital and online channels. Importantly, the Bank’s online originated deposit portfolio grew an additional $92m to $901m (11.4%) from 30 June 2021. MyState Bank’s reliance on securitisation funding reduced during the period as a result of the increase in customer deposits, but remains an important source of funding. Non-interest income from banking activities increased by $2.2m or 16.6% on pcp, as a result of loan related transaction fees, reflecting the accelerated growth of the loan book. TPT Wealth Funds under management ($m) 1,069 1,105 1,062 FY20 FY21 1H22 2H22 FY22 The recent and expected increases in the official cash rate are expected to be positive for NIM moving forward with overall NIM outcomes also subject to the competitiveness of the home loan market and funding cost pressures. Customer deposits ($m) 5,552 3,401 3,942 2,940 4,437 1,987 1,955 2,151 1,497 June 20 June 21 June 22 Customer deposits at term Customer deposits at call June 20 June 21 June 22 Income from wealth management activities increased by $1.2m or 8.8% on pcp, with managed funds fee income in line with last year and Trustee Services related income up 29.4%. Funds under management were marginally below the previous year. The ongoing transformation of the TPT Wealth business is seeing distribution capacity enhanced in the home market of Tasmania, coupled with strategic investments in digital capabilities and a new cloud lending platform. FUM decreased $43m from 30 June 2021 with the Income Funds declining by $34m and the Growth Funds by $15m, partly offset by an increase in the At Call Fund ($6m). The TPT Fixed Term Fund, Select Mortgage Fund and Long Term Fund have been awarded a 4.0 Star ‘superior’ rating by independent research house SQM Research, recognising TPT Wealth’s highly experienced investment team, strong credit credentials and more than 40-year track record of funds management. t r o p e r ’ s r o t c e r i D 36 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Capital position The Group’s total capital ratio decreased to 12.41% at 30 June 2022 and the Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio decreased to 10.53%, as the $55.5 million of capital raised in June 2021 was deployed to support lending growth. Tier 2 capital was bolstered by the issue of $25 million of 10-year subordinated notes in November 2021. MyState expects further capital flexibility will be provided by the inaugural issue of Additional Tier 1 capital and further securitisation. The Group is on track to meet the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority’s (APRA) finalised new bank capital framework requirements, effective from 1 January 2023 onwards. Using the 30 June 2022 capital position, on a pro- forma basis, the Group expects a net uplift in the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 30 to 40 bps and the total capital ratio of 60 to 70 bps, net of the 1% increase in the counter-cyclical capital buffer.

Since 2001, the MyState Foundation has awarded more than $2.5 million in grants to help more than 90 not-for- profit organisations in Tasmania with a focus on helping young Tasmanians reach their full potential. Outlook The Board-endorsed plan to accelerate the growth in lending has gained early momentum. In the medium term, the business expects to realise the benefits from its investment in digital capabilities, distribution and marketing to grow the customer base, while maintaining a strong risk culture to manage the risks associated with an uncertain economic environment.

In May 2021, the company announced a substantial capital raise to accelerate its growth, with implications in the short, medium and longer term for the financial performance of MyState. The capital raise in 2021 received strong support from shareholders, with the accelerated growth strategy and its performance implications forming the backdrop to executive remuneration arrangements and outcomes at MyState for several years to come. On behalf of the Board, I present to you the Company’s Remuneration Report (Report) for FY22. In broad terms, the purpose of MyState’s Executive remuneration framework has always been to facilitate long- term sustainable growth for MyState’s shareholders. This includes ensuring levels of remuneration are market- competitive to attract, motivate and retain suitably qualified individuals focused on MyState’s strategic priorities. The performance conditions and measurement timeframes are consistent with the objective of long-term sustainable growth, and our performance targets are designed to be challenging. The payment vehicles and ownership requirements are designed to align executive and shareholder interests, with the deferral and vesting periods designed for appropriate risk management and to be consistent with the regulatory frameworks in which MyState conducts business. The Report describes the Group’s Director and Executive remuneration frameworks and how they contribute to the execution of our business strategy and support our values and desired culture. Our financial performance for FY22 assessed against our key financial metrics was solid in the context of a long period of COVID-related uncertainty, together with investment in capacity and capability to drive our accelerated growth strategy. In the end result, however, the company-wide financial measures which are gateways for the payment of short term incentives were not met. FY22 Executive remuneration framework It may be helpful to recap the design principles that underlie the MyState Executive remuneration framework, further details of which are set out in the Report: › Executive remuneration arrangements should be fit-for-purpose for MyState, supporting MyState’s overall business strategy and appropriate for the size and complexity of the business. › Remuneration should be competitive in the market to ensure that MyState is able to attract, motivate and retain talented executive leaders. › Remuneration, particularly MyState’s incentive arrangements, should be aligned to the interests of MyState’s shareholders. › Executive remuneration should drive appropriate behaviours and support the desired culture. › Remuneration should be simple and transparent. › Short-term incentive: STI performance is measured over a single financial year. STI payments are subject to financial and non-financial gateways and are also subject to overriding Board discretion. › Long-term incentive: MyState has a long-term incentive (LTI) arrangement that has been designed to align executives with long-term value creation for shareholders. The LTI design also aims to provide executives with a simple, transparent and meaningful incentive. LTI performance is measured over three years with an additional holding lock of a further two years. › Minimum shareholding requirements: consistent with ASX practice, MyState has minimum shareholding requirements for its Non-executive Directors and Chief Executive Officer, such that each individual is required to build and maintain a minimum level of shareholding in MyState to align their interests with shareholders. The minimum shareholding requirement is determined by reference to base fees or fixed reward. We hope that you find this brief overview helpful in understanding the context in which the Report was prepared. We welcome your feedback.

They are also entitled to reimbursement of reasonable expenses. Unlike executives, non-executive directors do not receive short-term or long-term incentive payments. The Board determines the level of fees paid to non-executive directors according to two main criteria: › The level of skill and experience required to conduct their roles › The level of fees needed to attract and retain talented non-executive directors. The Board also obtains independent advice from remuneration consultants to guide its deliberations on director fees. The aggregate remuneration paid to all NEDs, including statutory superannuation, may not exceed the amount fixed by shareholders, which is currently $950,000 per year. This total amount has now remained unchanged for 10 years. Each NED currently receives a base fee of $110,000 per annum, and the Chairman receives $236,500 per annum. Chairs of Board committees (other than the Board Chair) receive an additional $10,000 per annum, the Deputy Chair receives an additional $10,000 per annum. MyState Limited’s remuneration policy is founded on a company-wide commitment to transparency, ethical practices and the creation of long-term value. The framework is designed to encourage and reward actions by executives that deliver positive results for both customers and shareholders through good discipline and strong financial performance, prudent risk management, and the maintenance and enhancement of our company’s earned and valued reputation for trustworthiness in the market for financial services. The remuneration policy is designed to support these objectives through: › Appropriately structured performance-based pay for executives and other eligible employees, including short-term and long-term incentive plans › Recognition and reward for strong performance linked to both favourable customer experiences and positive sustainable returns to shareholders › A thoughtful balancing of the company’s capacity to pay and our need to attract and retain excellent staff at all levels › Careful structuring of remuneration for our risk and financial control managers, including performance-based payments, to preserve their independence in carrying out their important roles › Board discretion over variable remuneration generally, including discretion to apply malus (reduction or forfeiture) to executive incentives, when appropriate, to preserve the interests of shareholders and customers and avoid unexpected or unjust outcomes › Enhancement of risk management and governance by maintaining separate structures for non-executive director remuneration and executive remuneration. t r o p e r n o i t a r e n u m e R 42 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Managing Director and executive remuneration Executive remuneration mix MyState Limited’s remuneration packages for the Managing Director and executives who report directly to the Managing Director are structured to support the company’s ability to attract and retain talented and experienced leaders, and to provide incentives and rewards for high performance and achievement of the company’s goals and objectives over the short, medium and long-term. Executive remuneration packages comprise three elements: total fixed reward (TFR), cash-based short-term incentives (STI) and equity-based long-term incentives (ELTIP). 1. Total fixed reward TFR 2. Cash-based short-term incentives STI 3. Equity-based long-term incentives ELTIP Total fixed reward (TFR) for executives, including the Managing Director, comprises a fixed base salary, superannuation contributions and optional salary sacrifice. The level of payment is set with reference to: importance of the role › The relative strategic value and › The complexity and breadth of the › Experience and skills required › External market considerations for role comparable positions Base salary rates are set with a view to attracting and retaining talented and culturally aligned executives, while delivering value to shareholders. Executive salaries are periodically reviewed to take into account external market conditions, the business-critical nature of the role, and individual performance. Long-term incentive payments to executives, in the form of company shares or performance rights, under the Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan (ELTIP), exist to encourage and culturally embed long-term thinking and risk management among our company leaders. Long-term planning plays an indispensable role in preparing the company to meet future challenges in an evolving financial services marketplace, and to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise. MyState’s ongoing transition to a national, digital business model exemplifies this approach – one designed to meet the ever-changing needs of customers and to sustain long-term value for shareholders. Cash-based short-term incentives (STIs) provide appropriate rewards to executives for meeting or exceeding performance targets and achieving our core company goals – both financial and non-financial. To this end, STI performance measures and associated targets are set with reference to the drivers of annual company performance and the roles of individual executives in achieving positive business outcomes. The level of STI assigned to executives is calculated annually using an STI ‘scorecard’, which comprises multiple performance elements. These include financial, growth, cultural, risk and compliance, reputational, customer and stakeholder measures. Financial and non-financial gateways serve to balance reward with MyState’s profitability and to avoid rewarding conduct that is inconsistent with our values and risk framework. The STI is calculated as a percentage of TFR for each role, and the maximum percentage of TFR payable as an STI is determined by the Board.

Among a range of functions, the committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on: › Remuneration arrangements for directors, the Managing Director and other executives › Executive incentives, including setting gateways, performance measures and targets at the commencement of the performance period, and assessing performance outcomes against these measures and targets at the conclusion of the performance period, and making recommendations for payment or otherwise › The appropriate exercise of Board discretion on variable remuneration matters. The committee assists the Board to meet remuneration obligations required by APRA Prudential Standards and the Banking Executive Accountability Regime (BEAR). The committee also aims to eliminate conflicts of interest from decisions concerning executive remuneration. To this end, no executive is directly involved in deciding their own remuneration. MyState’s financial performance in recent years has helped to inform the level of incentive-based remuneration – both short-term and long-term – provided to the Managing Director and other key executives in the year to 30 June 2022. As shown below, the company has performed consistently across various financial indicators in the period from FY18 to FY22. In May 2021, the company announced a substantial capital raise and announced its intention to accelerate growth. At the time of the capital raising the company explained the anticipated effects of the growth strategy on short, medium and longer term financial measures: The 2021 - 2025 strategy has the following objectives: › Accelerated home loan and retail deposit growth over the medium term, while maintaining asset quality › Improved operating leverage (cost to income ratio) in line with business growth › ROE accretion as capital is deployed › Sustainable growth in EPS over the medium term. In FY22, ROE and EPS are expected to be diluted as capital is deployed and increased operating expenses continue to deliver balance sheet growth.

The Managing Director, in turn, recommends KPIs for executives to the Committee, which then makes a recommendation to the Board. KPIs for STI payments include both financial and non- financial metrics that are considered consistent with the business plans of the Group and also supportive of the desired culture of the Group. At the end of each financial year, the Managing Director assesses the performance of the executives against their KPIs and makes a recommendation for each executive to the Committee. Simultaneously, the Committee assesses the performance of the Managing Director against the relevant KPIs. After consultation with the chairs of the Group Audit Committee and the Group Risk Committee, the Committee recommends STI payment amounts for approval by the Board. The Board retains complete discretion over STI payments, including the right to reduce or forfeit payments as it sees fit. The annual STI component may be reduced or forfeited if the company, or an individual executive, does not meet the ‘gateway’ criteria approved by the Board at the start of the financial year. Threshold performance levels for risk and compliance, executive behaviour standards and profit must be met or exceeded for payments to be made under the STI program. Executives are assessed as a group with The 3 Cs - MyState Values reference to performance on net profit, and on risk and compliance – including corporate reputational matters. Individual executive behaviours are assessed against the MyState values, and individual executives’ risk and compliance accountabilities are measured via a scorecard comprising several indicators. The Board has the discretion to reduce the STI (including to zero) if any of these gateways are not met. The STI scorecard includes a mix of financial and non- financial metrics, with the relative weightings varying between different executive roles. In FY22, the highest weighting for financial metrics – 65% – has been applied to the Managing Director, Chief Financial Officer and General Manager Banking, while the lowest financial metrics weighting – 40% – has been applied to the Chief Risk Officer. The scorecard comprises a diverse list of both quantitative and qualitative performance measures (or criteria), which have been chosen with a view to driving positive outcomes not just for MyState shareholders but also for customers, employees and other key stakeholders of the organisation. Quantitative performance measures include earnings per share, net interest margin, funds under management, loan book growth, net customer growth and employee engagement. Executives are also individually assessed with reference to their performances as leaders in their specific roles, and to their individual contributions to the future development of the organisation. The Board has the discretion to vary STI outcomes to reflect differing levels of performance. Create customer ‘wow’ Chase the better Collaborate to win › We walk in our customers’ shoes and appreciate their perspectives. › We think and act in the best interest of our customers. › We are clear, concise and trustworthy in our customer interactions. › We design and deliver exceptional customer experiences, with a human touch. › We make things simpler and easier for our customers. › We are bold in our ambition. › We seek out and embrace the change that is required to succeed. › We have the courage to try new things and grow from our failures. › We simplify (and digitise) › We seek industry-leading to deliver. productivity and always drive for better outcomes. › We care for each other, our customers, partners and community. › We give our best, do the right thing, and trust our colleagues to do the same. › We hold each other to account. › We openly share information so that everyone can make informed decisions. › We reach out across teams to rapidly solve problems – and celebrate our successes and learnings! t r o p e r n o i t a r e n u m e R 45 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 2021-2022 ‘gateway’ criteria for short-term incentive payments Gateway Assessment measures 1. Group risk STI may be reduced or forfeited at the Board’s discretion if MyState Limited does not meet compliance and risk management obligations, if its reputation is materially damaged, if capital adequacy and liquidity fall below prudential requirements, or if an executive does not meet their personal accountability BEAR obligations. 2. Individual risk If an individual’s Risk Scorecard does not meet the standard required, then STI may be reduced or forfeited. 3. Net profit after tax (NPAT) 4. Values and behaviours (individual) If NPAT is below FY22 budget, STI may be reduced or forfeited. If an individual fails to meet or exceed expectations as assessed against the MyState values, the Board may exercise its discretion for STI to be reduced or forfeited. The Board retains the residual discretion not to award or pay STIs even if the criteria have been met if, in its reasonable view, the needs of the Group require this. STI outcomes for 2021-2022 The following key performance measures for the STI component and the level of achievement were assessed by the Board for the 2021-2022 financial year: Area Drivers Measures Performance Performance Financial Earnings Increasing earnings per share Net interest margin Funds under management Managed in accordance with Board expectations Growing funds under management in our Wealth Business Balance sheet Growing the size of our loan book People Employee experience Positive employee experience score Leadership Lifting the bar on leadership Individual contribution to delivery of strategically significant projects Culture Evolving our customer-centric culture Customer Growth Net customer and investor growth Exceeded or met target Below target Partially met target t r o p e r n o i t a r e n u m e R 46 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 STI outcomes for 2021-2022 continued The Board has determined that the gateway criteria for payment of the STIs for NPAT have not been met for FY22. Performance against three company wide performance measures – earnings per share, net interest margin and funds under management have also not been met. However, it was pleasing to note that the following key non-financial measures – employee experience score (which uses the results of our annual employee engagement survey) and net customer growth were both higher than the previous year. It is important to note that MyState’s growth strategy is on track, with strong growth in customer numbers and significant above system growth in our home loan portfolio. NPAT has been impacted by a decline in net interest margin driven by strong competition for new home loans and customer preference for lower margin fixed rate loans in the first half of the financial year. In addition, the market has seen elevated levels of refinancing activity for most of the year leading to retention discounting and a range of cash back incentives for new lending. As foreshadowed at the time of the capital raise in June 2021, as capital has been deployed both earnings per share and return on equity have been diluted in FY22. Management and the Board remain confident that return on equity and earnings per share will grow over the medium term. If the results on which any STI reward was based are subsequently found by the Board to have been the subject of deliberate management miss-statement, error, misrepresentation or act or omission, which the Group People and Remuneration Committee or the Board (acting reasonably) considers would have resulted in the KPIs not being satisfied, or there is otherwise a reward decision incorrectly made, the Board may require repayment of the whole or part of the relevant STI, in addition to taking any other disciplinary actions. Payment offers Details of STI payment offers for the 2021/2022 financial year and the 2020/2021 financial year are set out below.

Until 30 June 2021, participating executives were allocated fully paid ordinary shares in the company, without payment, if performance criteria specified by the Board were satisfied in a set period. Since 1 July 2021, the allocations have been in the form of ‘performance rights’ which, on vesting, deliver one share for each vested performance right. Each year, the Board has the discretion to offer executives shares/performance rights worth up to a specified percentage of their total fixed reward (salary). In FY22, the offers have been equal to 70% of total fixed reward for the Managing Director, and 30% of total fixed reward for eligible executives. The number of shares or performance rights allocated is based on the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of shares calculated over the 20 trading days to 30 June immediately prior to the commencement of the performance period for the relevant offer. For the shares or performance rights to vest, certain performance criteria must be satisfied within the specified performance period. Both the performance criteria and the performance period are set by the Board alone. ELTIP performance measures are weighted equally between relative total shareholder return (TSR) and return on equity (ROE). The relative TSR incorporates both dividends paid and movements in share prices, while the ROE is a measure of corporate profitability. Currently, the Board has set three financial years, commencing with the year in which an offer is made, as the performance period, with relative TSR and post-tax underlying ROE for the 2018 and 2019 offers. Relative TSR and statutory ROE have been set as the performance criteria for the 2020, 2021 and 2022 offers. The Board may adjust the statutory ROE performance criteria for one-off items for the 2020 and subsequent offers. The performance criteria are assessed following the completion of each performance period. Under the ELTIP rules, an assessment is made against the performance criteria to determine the number of shares or performance rights awarded to the Managing Director and each participating executive. Shares or rights cannot be allocated for a further two years. This means a total period of five years will elapse from the commencement of the performance period to the time when shares are vested. Any ELTIP reward is subject to reassessment and possible reduction or forfeiture. This enables the Board to adjust share allocations (potentially to zero) to protect the financial soundness of the company or respond to significant unforeseen or unexpected consequences. In addition, if the Managing Director or a participating executive is an accountable person under the BEAR, allocating the shares will be subject to the Board being satisfied that the accountable person has met their accountability obligations. The number of shares allocated (and/or value of any associated payment) may be reduced or cancelled to the extent that the Board determines that the accountability obligations have not been met. Allocation of shares to the Managing Director and eligible executives is ultimately at the complete discretion of the Board. The ELTIP rules provide that an independent trustee, acting at the direction of the company, may acquire and hold allocated shares on behalf of executives. The participating executive cannot transfer or dispose of shares before they have been allocated to them. Any shares or performance rights to be allocated to the Managing Director under this plan require shareholder approval in accordance with ASX listing rules. Participating executives are required to not hedge their economic exposure to any allocated non- vested entitlement. Failure to comply with this directive will constitute breach of duty and may result in forfeiture of the offer and/or dismissal. t r o p e r n o i t a r e n u m e R 48 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Commencement of employment during a financial year Subject to Board approval, a pro-rata ELTIP offer can be made to an executive who commences employment during the financial year, but before 1 April. The terms of the offer must be consistent with all other offers for that year, irrespective of the date of employment commencement. Cessation of employment Executives who cease employment with the company will be eligible to receive shares only if the cessation is due to a Qualifying Reason, as defined by the ELTIP Plan Rules. Qualifying reasons include death, total and permanent disability, retirement at normal retirement age, redundancy or other such reason as the Board may determine. Where an ELTIP participant ceases employment, their ELTIP offer will be assessed by the Board at the end of the performance period along with all other participants, subject to meeting the 12-month employment hurdle that applies to any ELTIP offer. If the separated employee is an accountable person under BEAR, any awarded shares will not be allocated until all BEAR requirements are satisfied, including the variable remuneration deferral period. Entitlement to dividend income When shares allocated to an executive are held by a trustee, the executive is entitled to receive dividend payments on the allocated shares and to have the trustee exercise the voting rights on those shares in accordance with the executive’s instructions. However, executives have no entitlements to dividends or voting rights for shares or performance rights during the deferral period.

Review of executive remuneration During FY21, the Committee commissioned independent advice in respect of the structure and performance criteria for executive variable remuneration. With the benefit of that advice, the Board decided to make a number of changes that take effect from 1 July 2021. These changes have been implemented and include moving the Executive Long- Term Incentive Program to a Performance Rights scheme, and reviewing the targets for threshold performance. The details of the Executive Long-Term Incentive Program are provided in section 5. Our Executive remuneration framework will be subject to further review following the introduction of the Financial Accountability Regime (FAR) and the APRA prudential standard for Remuneration. t r o p e r n o i t a r e n u m e R 52 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Statutory tables Financial year Salary & fees Cash bonus(1) Other short- term benefits Non-monetary benefits(2) Post- employment superannuation Termination benefits Share- based payment(3) Total Non-Executive Directors Miles Hampton Robert Gordon Vaughn Richtor Sibylle Krieger Warren Lee Stephen Davy Andrea Waters 2022 157,942 2021 209,004 2022 95,903 2021 89,849 2022 130,519 2021 97,211 2022 109,091 2021 106,049 2022 109,091 2021 106,049 2022 101,923 2021 - 2022 120,001 2021 116,124 Total NED 2022 824,470 2021 724,286 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1,191 393 - - - - - - - - - - - 15,794 19,855 26,750 26,275 13,052 9,235 10,909 10,075 10,909 10,075 10,183 - - - 1,191 393 87,597 75,515 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 174,927 229,252 122,653 116,124 143,571 106,446 120,000 116,124 120,000 116,124 112,106 0 120,001 116,124 913,258 800,194 t r o p e r n o i t a r e n u m e R 53 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Financial year Salary & fees Cash bonus(1) Other short- term benefits Non- monetary benefits(2) Post- employment superannuation Termination benefits Share- based payment(3) Total Executives Melos Sulicich Brett Morgan David Harradine Huw Bough Mandakini Khanna Anthony MacRae Heather McGovern Paul Moss Craig Mowll Janelle Whittle Gary Dickson Alan Logan 2022 358,105 - 2021 623,077 279,063 2022 282,663 2021 2022 2021 - - - - - - - 2022 362,500 20,000 2021 36,986 - 2022 362,500 40,000 2021 369,863 111,033 2022 13,500 2021 372,019 2022 302,500 - - - 2021 312,961 85,536 2022 337,500 - 2021 353,077 101,233 2022 - 2021 383,075 - - 2022 279,396 30,000 2021 276,519 80,450 2022 374,622 - 2021 389,423 108,780 2022 293,760 2021 - - - Total Executive 2022 2,967,046 90,000 2021 3,117,000 766,095 Total KMP 2022 3,791,516 90,000 2021 3,841,286 766,095 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 25,538 1,095 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1,302 1,302 - - 1,302 1,302 - - - - 25,961 13,010 - - - 27,500 3,514 37,594 35,137 96 25,481 27,500 29,731 27,500 25,961 - 20,295 27,500 27,245 24,975 25,961 23,586 - 2,604 234,799 3,699 219,286 3,795 322,396 4,092 294,801 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (27,811) 355,832 156,698 1,085,894 32,869 328,542 - - - - 4,046 4,046 23,416 433,416 - 40,500 42,695 482,789 56,434 572,467 (24,263) (10,667) 50,573 448,073 36,129 366,129 42,132 470,360 39,959 406,261 52,892 534,465 (8,446) (8,446) 24,390 427,760 33,251 371,449 42,505 428,021 42,623 442,220 43,532 567,696 17,692 335,038 - - 208,114 3,502,563 473,202 4,579,282 208,114 4,415,821 473,202 5,379,476 1) The cash bonus shown in “2021” represents the actual amount awarded in respect to STI offers. The cash bonus shown in “2022” represents the gratuity amount award in respect to performance for select KMP. 2) Non-monetary benefits consist of car parking expense, travel & accommodation and entertainment. 3) Share-based payment amounts have been calculated in accordance with the relevant accounting policy and Accounting Standard. The fair value of the share grant is calculated at the date of grant and is allocated to each reporting period evenly over the period from grant date to vesting date. This fair value will generally be different to the value of shares at the time they vest. The value disclosed is the portion of the fair value of the share grant allocated to this reporting period. These amounts represent share grants which will only vest to the KMP when certain performance and service criteria are met. In some circumstances all, or a portion, of the shares may never vest to the KMP. As these figures are based on accrual accounting and not a reflection of actual cash paid or shares vested, negative figures can result in the event of accrual reversals being recorded. Amounts stated are in respect of the period that the individual held a role of a KMP. t r o p e r n o i t a r e n u m e R 54 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Shareholdings of Key Management Personnel (KMP) Non-executive Director minimum shareholding In the absence of approval from the Board to the contrary, non-executive directors are required to acquire and maintain, directly or indirectly, shares in MyState Limited to the equivalent of one year’s pre-tax base director’s fee or base Chair fee as the case may be.

The address of its registered office and principal place of business is 137 Harrington Street, Hobart Tasmania 7000. The consolidated financial statements of MyState Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group) were authorised for issue by the Directors on 15 August 2022. 1.2 Basis of accounting These consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and other requirements of the law. The financial report complies with Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“AIFRS”). The financial statements comprise the consolidated financial statements of the Group. For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a for-profit entity. Where necessary, comparative figures have been re-classified and re-positioned for consistency with current period disclosures. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies. Rounding of amounts The Company is a company of the kind referred to in Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Class Order 2016/191, and, in accordance with that Class Order, amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars. 1.3 Use of estimates and judgements The preparation of the financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the accounting policies. The notes to the financial statements set out areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions are significant to the financial report such as: › Loan origination cost amortisation, refer note 2.1; › Impairment losses on loans and advances, refer note 4.3; › Fair value of financial instruments, refer note 4.7; › Impairment assessment of intangibles and goodwill, refer note 5.3; › Recoverability of deferred tax assets, refer note 6.1; and › Assessment of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, refer notes 4.6 and 5.1. Non-current assets held for sale At 31 December 2021, a property was reclassified from Investment property to Held for sale and disclosed separately in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, in line with AASB 5 Non-Current assets held for Sale. Prior to reclassification, the property was revalued and a gain on revaluation of $530,000 was recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement in line with the requirements of AASB 140 Investment Property. The property was subsequently sold and a gain of $324,000 on disposal has been disclosed separately in the Consolidated Income Statement. Software as a Service arrangement Capitalised costs of configuring or customising a supplier’s application software in a software as a service arrangement have been derecognised in the financials in line with the IFRS Interpretation Committee’s (IFRIC) agenda decision in April 2021. The impact has been recognised in the Group’s retained earnings. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 63 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 1.4 Provisions (other than for impairment of financial assets) Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal, equitable or constructive obligation to make a future sacrifice of economic benefits to other entities as a result of past transactions or other past events and it is probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. 2.1 Net banking operating income Interest income Loans and advances Investment securities Total interest income Interest expense At call deposits Fixed term deposits Financing cost - leases Total interest expense Non-interest income from banking activities Transaction fees Loan fees Banking commissions Other banking operations income Total non-interest income from banking activities Income accounting policy 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 155,236 160,912 4,513 3,424 159,749 164,336 16,972 31,034 1,498 49,504 3,703 6,284 3,282 1,834 15,103 12,851 38,217 1,317 52,385 3,918 4,674 2,984 1,375 12,951 Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the entity and the income can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before income is recognised. Interest Interest income is accrued using the effective interest rate method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument. Loan origination fees are recognised as components of the calculation of the effective interest rate method in relation to originated loans, and therefore effect the interest recognised in relation to this portfolio of loans. The average life of loans in the relevant loan portfolios is reviewed annually to ensure the amortisation methodology for loan origination fees is appropriate. Interest expense is calculated on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method is the rate that exactly discounts future payments through the expected life of the financial instrument. Non-interest income from banking activities Refer to the “income accounting policy” in note 2.2. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 64 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 2.2 Income from wealth management activities Funds management income Other fees and commissions Total income from wealth management activities Funds management income and fiduciary activities 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 9,078 5,742 14,820 9,412 4,206 13,618 TPT Wealth Limited, a controlled entity of the Group, acts as Responsible Entity, Trustee and Funds Manager for eight managed investment schemes. The investment schemes place monies with external wholesale fund managers, direct mortgages and mortgaged backed securities, term deposits and other investments. The clients include individuals, superannuation funds and corporate investors. The assets and liabilities of these funds are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Income earned by the Group in respect of these activities is included in the Consolidated Income Statement of the Group as “Funds management income”. The following table shows the balance of the unconsolidated funds under management and funds under advice that gives rise to funds management and other fees and commissions income respectively: Funds under management Funds under advice Other fees and commissions 30 June 2022 $’M 30 June 2021 $’M 1,062 434 1,105 487 TPT Wealth Limited provides private client tax accounting services and acts as trustee and executor of estates. “Other fees and commissions income” is the income earned from these activities. Income accounting policy The Group earns three main types of fees and commissions under contracts with customers. The first income type is single performance obligation contracts, such as transaction services, where the performance obligation is performed and consideration received in quick succession. Income from these contracts is recorded as the performance obligations are satisfied. The second income type is where contracts with the customer are for the performance of multiple obligations over time and the customer only benefits from delivery of all those obligations together over time, for example the provision of trustee services and services to funds under management. For these contracts, income is recognised over the service period. The third type of income is insurance intermediary income where the performance obligations are satisfied substantially at the time of referring the customer and economic benefits flow to the Group over time. The Group has estimated that nil income will be brought forward as a contract asset under these contracts due to the insufficient probability of the timing and amount of future income that will flow from these contracts. This income is therefore recorded when received. 2.3 Income from other activities Gain on revaluation of non-current assets held for sale Gain on disposal of non-current assets held for sale Total income from other activities 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 530 324 854 - - - t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 65 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 2.4 Expenses The following items are included within each item of specified expenses: Occupancy costs include: Operating lease payments Depreciation - right of use lease assets Depreciation - buildings and leasehold improvements Technology costs include: Amortisation - computer software Administration costs include: 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 185 2,728 281 (114) 2,934 362 5,625 5,275 Depreciation - furniture, equipment and computer hardware 282 276 Restructure costs include (i): Depreciation - early termination of right-of-use lease assets Termination payments Loss on disposal of fit out costs Other Total restructure costs - - - - - 1,215 952 248 144 2,559 (i) During the comparative period, branches in Queensland and Tasmania were closed and properties in Northern Tasmania were consolidated.

The Group’s leasing activities (i) Real estate leases The Group leases land and buildings for its office space and branch network.

Some leases include an option to renew the lease for an additional period of the same duration after the end of the contract term. (ii) Other leases The Group leases vehicles, with lease terms of three to five years. In some cases, the Group has options to purchase the assets at the end of the contract term; in other cases, it guarantees the residual value of the leased assets at the end of the contract term.

Leasehold improvements and right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of either the unexpired expected term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements. Estimated useful lives are: Buildings Office furniture, fittings & equipment Building fit-out Computer hardware Software Right-of-use assets 40 years 4-7 years 4-15 years 3 years 3-10 years 2-15 years Each year the useful life of assets are evaluated. The remaining useful life of select core banking systems has been revised and extended in the current year as the Group has implemented significant increased functionality and, in turn, longevity of these sytems over their initial capacity. The revised remaining useful life is within the above stated parameters however the total life since original core system implementation is in excess of the above stated lives in some instances. 2.5 Earnings per share Basic earnings per share from continuing operations Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations Earnings per share accounting policy 30 June 2022 cents 30 June 2021 cents 30.34 30.34 39.18 39.18 Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Group’s profit attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year.

The Group’s capital management policy considers each of internal, regulatory and rating agency capital requirements. Under APS 110 Capital Adequacy, the ultimate responsibility for the prudent management of capital resides with the Board of Directors. The Board must ensure that an appropriate level and quality of capital is maintained, commensurate with the type, amount and concentration of risk exposures. The Group’s regulatory capital requirements are measured on a Level 1 and Level 2 basis. Level 1 is comprised of MyState Bank Limited (the ADI) and ConQuest 2010-1R. Level 2 is comprised of the wider MyState Limited prudential group. This group includes MyState Limited (the non-operating holding company), MyState Bank Limited, Connect Asset Management Limited (the Securitisation programme Manager) and ConQuest 2010-1R. All entities that are consolidated for accounting purposes are included within the Level 2 regulatory capital calculation except for TPT Wealth Limited and securitisation special purposes vehicles (Conquest 2014-2 Trust, Conquest 2016-1 Trust, Conquest 2016-2 Trust, Conquest 2017-1 Trust, Conquest 2018-1 Trust, Conquest 2019-1 PP Trust, and Conquest 2019-2 Trust). The Group has developed a detailed Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Plan (ICAAP). This plan covers the capital requirements of the Group on a Level 1 and Level 2 basis (as previously described) as well as TPT Wealth Limited. The Group’s capital position is monitored on a frequent basis and is reported to the Board monthly. The ICAAP also includes a three year forecast of capital adequacy which is prepared and submitted to the Board at least annually. The ICAAP aims to ensure that adequate planning activities take place so that the Group is effectively capitalised. The ICAAP encompasses known financial events, dividend policy, capital raisings, securitisation and stress testing. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 71 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 The Board has currently set a minimum total capital adequacy ratio of 12.5% for the Group. Capital adequacy of the Group on a level 2 basis is detailed in the following table: Qualifying capital Common equity tier 1 capital Paid-up ordinary share capital (i) Retained earnings Reserves excluding general reserve for credit losses Total common equity tier 1 capital Less: Regulatory adjustments Deferred expenditure including deferred tax assets Goodwill and intangibles Other deductions Total regulatory adjustments Net common equity tier 1 capital Tier 2 capital Subordinated notes (ii) General reserve for credit losses Total capital Risk weighted assets Capital adequacy ratio (iii) 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 211,167 221,796 6,980 208,196 219,128 44 439,943 427,368 35,540 64,556 47,086 147,181 292,761 24,818 68,913 41,733 135,464 291,904 50,000 2,257 32,706 6,380 345,018 330,990 2,780,972 2,231,100 12.41% 14.84% (i) On 24 June 2021, the Group raised $24.2 million (5,628,573 shares at $4.30 each) under a retail entitlement offer. This followed an institutional entitlement offer and fully underwritten institutional placement (Placement) which raised $11.3 million and $20 million respectively (7,274,502 ordinary shares at $4.30 each) from existing and new institutional investors, on 2 June 2021. (ii) On 10 July 2020, the Group issued $25 million of floating rate subordinated notes (“notes”). The issuer was MyState Limited. The notes have a term of 10 years, maturing 10 July 2030, and pay interest quarterly at a floating rate equal to the three-month BBSW plus a margin of 4.35% per annum. The issuer has the option to redeem these notes on 10 July 2025 and each quarterly interest payment date thereafter, and for certain regulatory events (in each case subject to APRA’s prior written approval). On the same date, and with the same terms, MyState Bank Limited issued $25 million of floating rate subordinated notes to MyState Limited with terms identical to those issued by MyState Limited. On 3 November 2021, the Group issued $25 million of floating rate subordinated notes (“notes”). The issuer was MyState Limited. The notes have a term of 10 years, maturing 3 November 2031, and pay interest quarterly at a floating rate equal to the three-month BBSW plus a margin of 2.75% per annum. The issuer has the option to redeem these notes on 3 November 2026 and each quarterly interest payment date thereafter, and for certain regulatory events (in each case subject to APRA’s prior written approval). On the same date, and with the same terms, MyState Bank Limited issued $25 million of floating rate subordinated notes to MyState Limited with terms identical to those issued by MyState Limited. If APRA notifies the issuer that a non-viability trigger event has occurred, the notes will be converted into ordinary shares of MyState Limited, or written-off. For the notes issued on 3 November 2021, the amount included in the Group’s Level 2 Tier 2 regulatory capital is a percentage equal to that of the external interest in the Group’s regulatory capital. The amount included in the Group’s Level 1 Tier 2 regulatory capital is 100%. For the notes issued on 10 July 2020, the amount included in the Group’s Level 1 and Level 2 Tier 2 regulatory capital is 100%. (iii) At 30 June 2022, the Group’s total capital ratio of 12.41% was marginally below the Board’s risk appetite limit (12.50%) with Additional Tier 1 capital issuance and planned securitisation to remediate this position. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 72 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 3.2 Financial risk management Risk management is an integral part of the Group’s business processes. The Board sets policy to mitigate risks and ensure the risk management framework is appropriate, to direct the way in which the Group conducts business. Promulgated Board approved policies ensure compliance throughout the business, which are monitored by way of a dedicated compliance system. Risk management plans exist for all documented risks within the Group and these plans are reviewed regularly by the Executive Management Team, the Group Risk Committee and the Board. Business units are accountable for risks in their area and are responsible for ensuring the appropriate assessment and management of these risks. Risk exposure profile The Group actively monitors a range of risks, which are not limited to, but include the following: › Credit risk, › Market risk; and › Liquidity risk. 3.2.1 Credit risk Approach to credit risk management Credit risk arises within the Group’s lending and treasury investment activities and is the risk that a counterparty may fail to complete its contractual obligations when they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing this risk is to separate prudential control from operational management by assigning responsibility for approval of credit exposures to specific individuals and management committees. The Group Risk Committee has oversight of credit risk exposures and the Enterprise Risk Committee monitors credit related activities through regular reporting processes, including monitoring large exposure to single groups and counterparties. The roles of funding and oversight of credit are separate. Board approved lending policies guide the processes for all loan approvals by subsidiary operations. All loans over a designated amount, whether within delegated limits or not, are reported to the Group Risk Committee on a regular basis. Any loan outside of delegated limits must be approved by the Board prior to funding. Maximum exposure to credit risk The amounts disclosed in the following table are the maximum exposure to credit risk, before taking account of any collateral held or other credit enhancements. For financial assets recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, the exposure to credit risk equals their carrying amount. For customer commitments, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the committed facility as at the reporting date. Cash and liquid assets Due from other financial institutions Other assets Financial instruments Loans and advances Customer commitments (i) Maximum exposure to credit risk 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 119,215 40,924 9,831 80,266 31,859 7,032 842,926 707,166 1,012,896 826,323 6,971,375 5,607,300 268,364 200,392 8,252,635 6,634,015 (i) For further information regarding these commitments, refer to note 8.1. The credit quality of financial assets has been determined based on Standard and Poor’s credit ratings for financial assets other than loans and advances at amortised cost. For loans and advances at amortised cost, the assets identified as being “closely monitored” are those assets that are greater than 30 days past due. New facilities are t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i loans that have been funded within the financial year. 73 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Credit quality of financial assets Financial assets other than loans and advances at amortised cost Equivalent S&P rating A+ and above Equivalent S&P rating A and below Loans and advances at amortised cost New Facilities - not closely monitored New Facilities - closely monitored Continuing facilities - not closely monitored Continuing facilities - closely monitored Total on balance sheet exposure to credit risk Loans and advances at amortised cost past due analysis Not past due Past due days: 31 to 60 days 61 to 90 days More than 90 days Total loans and advances at amortised cost Estimate of collateral held against past due assets Estimate of collateral held 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 622,183 390,713 476,364 349,959 2,860,403 1,544,649 1,372 364 4,085,757 4,036,862 23,843 25,425 7,984,271 6,433,623 6,942,215 5,576,675 8,285 7,166 13,709 11,492 5,760 13,373 6,971,375 5,607,300 39,730 45,588 To mitigate credit risk, MyState Bank (ADI) holds collateral against select loans and advances in the form of a mortgage charge over property. The bank can take possession of the security held against the loans and advances as a result of customer default. The collateral shown above is an estimate of the value of collateral held, it is not practicable to determine the fair value. Credit quality is impacted by concentration risk created by the ensuing vulnerability of assets to similar conditions such as economic or political factors. The Group monitors the geographical diversification of its loans and advances. An analysis of this concentration of credit risk at the reporting date is shown in the following table: Tasmania Victoria New South Wales Queensland Western Australia Australian Capital Territory South Australia Northern Territory 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 2,510,364 2,223,256 1,356,804 981,390 1,414,717 1,122,964 1,415,876 1,106,049 125,683 68,109 71,510 12,769 77,467 50,601 43,897 7,094 Gross loans and advances at amortised cost 6,975,832 5,612,718 There are no loans that individually represent 10% or more of shareholders’ equity. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 74 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 3.2.2 Market risk Managing market risk Market risk is the exposure to adverse changes in the value of the Group’s portfolio as a result of changes in market prices or volatility. The Group is exposed primarily to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk exposure The operations of MyState Bank are subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations as a result of mismatches in the timing of the repricing of interest rates on its assets and liabilities. The figures in the table below indicates the earnings at risk for an ensuing 12 month period of a 1% parallel shock increase to the yield curve. A 1% decrease has the equal opposite result. Value at Risk (VaR) The following table indicates the VaR based on historical data. The Group estimates VaR as the potential loss in earnings from adverse market movements over a 20 day holding period to a 99% confidence level. VaR takes account of all material market variables that may cause a change in the value of the loan portfolio. Although an important tool for the measurement of market risk, the assumptions underlying the model are limited to reliance on historical data. Value at risk (post-tax) based on historic data Average Minimum Maximum Derivatives 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 4,084 3,286 4,878 1,531 980 2,999 The Group is exposed to changes in interest rates. The only derivative instruments currently entered into by the Group are interest rate swaps. The Group protects its portfolio of fixed rate loans, corporate and retail term deposits, NCDs and exposure to variable rate debt obligations, by paying fixed or variable rates to swap providers and receiving fixed or variable rates in return, dependent on the hedged item. The hedge instruments are benchmarked to either BBSW (Bank Bill Swap rate) or AONIA (RBA Interbank Overnight Cash Rate). The hedging strategy is to mitigate earnings volatility for the Group by managing interest rate margins in an increasing rate environment. Derivatives accounting policy Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured to their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets. Movements in the carrying amounts of derivatives are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, unless the derivative meets the requirements for hedge accounting. The Group documents the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items at inception of the transaction, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also documents its assessment of whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions have been or will continue to be, highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair values or cash flows of hedged items. This assessment is carried out both at inception and on a monthly basis. Cash flow hedges The Group has cash flow hedges that are used to hedge the variability of interest rates in relation to certain assets and liabilities. These derivative instruments are established with terms that exactly match the terms of the asset or liability designated as the hedged item and therefore form highly effective relationships. The portion of the asset or liability designated in the hedging relationship is determined by reference to specific fixed rate assets or liabilities within the deposit or loan portfolio. The Group conducts tests for ineffectiveness and sources t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 75 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 of ineffectiveness are limited to credit risk of parties to the relationship. The variability in fair values attributable to an item designated as a cash flow hedge is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income to the extent of the hedge’s effectiveness. Any ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting If a derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued and the amount recognised in Other Comprehensive Income remains in Other Comprehensive Income until the forecast transaction affects the Consolidated Income Statement. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, it is reclassified to the Consolidated Income Statement as a reclassification adjustment. When a derivative is not designated in a qualifying relationship, all changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement, as a component of net income from other financial instruments carried at fair value. The following table indicates the Group’s hedge exposures at 30 June 2022. Description Notional amount of hedging instrument (i) Carrying amount of hedging instrument (i) Cash flow hedges $’000 Fair value hedges $’000 577,129 9,534 - - (i) Note that Derivatives are reported as financial instruments in the statement of financial position. 3.2.3 Liquidity risk Managing liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its financial and statutory obligations as they fall due, which could arise due to mismatches in cash flows. The Group maintains a portfolio of highly marketable assets that can be liquidated in the event of an unforeseen interruption of cash flows. The Group also has committed lines of credit that it can access to meet its liquidity needs. Liquidity scenarios are calculated under stressed and normal operating conditions, to assist in anticipating cash requirements providing adequate reserves. The Group’s objective is to manage its funds in a way that will facilitate growth in core business under a wide range of market conditions. The Group maintains, and adheres to, a Liquidity Risk Management framework (LRMF). This process includes acknowledgement of liquidity risks within the Group and justification of the amount of liquidity that is being held based on the liquidity risk profile of the organisation. Group Treasury is responsible for implementing liquidity risk management strategies in accordance with the LRMF. The Group’s Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) assists the Board with oversight of asset and liability management including liquidity risk management. The Group’s liquidity policies are approved by the Board after endorsement by the Group Risk Committee and the Banking Group’s ALCO. On 19 March 2020 the RBA established a Term Funding Facility (TFF) that offered ADI’s three-year funding at a rate of 0.25% per annum to support the Australian economy through COVID-19. MyState Bank, the Group’s ADI, was granted an allowance of $109.0m which was fully drawn ahead of the 30 September 2020 deadline. t r o p e r l On 1 September 2020, the RBA announced changes to the TFF, including a Supplementary Allowance that provided ADI’s additional three year funding at a rate of 0.10%. MyState Bank was granted an allowance of $75.7m which was fully drawn ahead of the 30 June 2021 deadline. i a c n a n F i 76 The combined drawn amount as at the reporting date of $184.7m is reported within “term deposits”. Funding obtained under the TFF has been secured by $219.4m of eligible asset backed self-securitisation. The funding was drawn down progressively and will therefore be able to be repaid progressively at the end of each respective three year term, commencing in May 2023 and ending in June 2024.

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Financial instruments at fair value Financial instruments other than those carried at amortised cost, are carried at their fair value at the reporting date. Note 4.7 contains information on how the Group determines fair values. Fair value gains and losses are recognised in comprehensive income until the derecognition date, at which point the net gains and losses are transferred to profit or loss for that instrument. Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets have expired, or where the Group has transferred its contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished, i.e. when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expired. 4.3 Loans and advances Classification of loans and advances at amortised cost Residential loans secured by mortgage Personal loans and unsecured overdrafts Overdrafts secured by mortgage Commercial loans Total loans and advances at amortised cost Less: Specific provision for impairment Collective provision for impairment 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 6,872,096 5,468,427 20,238 31,846 51,652 46,989 29,200 68,102 6,975,832 5,612,718 - 50 4,457 5,368 t r o p e r l Total loans and advances at amortised cost net of provision for impairment 6,971,375 5,607,300 i a c n a n F i 81 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Loans and advances at amortised cost accounting policy Loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as “loans and advances”. Loans and advances are recognised on trade date and are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables when the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The review considered the macroeconomic outlook, customer credit quality, the quality of collateral held and exposure at default as at the reporting date. These model inputs including forward-looking information have been revised in recognition that rising cash rates is a key driver of the estimates therein. The modelled ECL is sensitive to the speed and resilience of post-COVID-19 economic normalisation, and the longevity of any monetary and fiscal intervention, as these influence both the probability of default, and the value of collateral that may be utilised. Whilst the inputs have been revised, the underlying methodology for calculating the ECL is consistently applied in the current and comparative period as described in the Impairment of financial assets accounting policy’ presented below. At 30 June 2022, this review includes forward looking economic assumptions using a scenario weighting of 60% base case, 30% moderate recession and 10% strong recovery. The key assumptions used to determine the forward looking economic overlay were revised to incorporate the latest observed economic data, including a higher Official Cash Rate (OCR), stronger levels of employment and lower near term house price growth, with price falls under the moderate recession scenario of -20% across FY23 and FY24. Given the ever-changing COVID-19 environment in Australia and geopolitical uncertainties affecting the world, future economic conditions that result in outcomes that differ from the current estimate are possible and will be accounted for in future periods. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 82 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Impairment of financial assets accounting policy Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected. The primary source of credit risk for the Group arises on its loan portfolio. In relation to this portfolio, the Group maintains a specific provision and a collective provision. Specific provisions for impairment are made against individual risk rated credit facilities where a loss is expected. The provisions are measured as the difference between a financial asset’s carrying amount and the expected future cash flows. All other loans and advances that do not have an individually assessed provision are assessed collectively for impairment. The collective provisions are calculated using an Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model. This model is forward looking and does not require evidence of an actual loss event for impairment provisions to be recognised. The Group applies a three-stage approach to measuring the ECL based on credit risk since origination. The Group estimates ECL through modelling the probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default, as follows: Stage 1 - Performing - This category includes financial assets that have not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since their origination. For these financial assets an allowance equivalent to 12 month’s ECL is recognised, which represents the credit losses expected to arise from defaults occurring over the next 12 months. Stage 2 - Under-performing - This category includes financial assets that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since their origination and are not credit impaired. For these financial assets an allowance equivalent to lifetime ECL is recognised. Lifetime ECL is the credit losses expected to arise from defaults occurring over the remaining life of the financial assets. Stage 3 - Non-performing (impaired) - This category includes financial assets that are credit impaired. The provision is also equivalent to the lifetime ECL. The difference to the provision calculated on stage 2 loans is that the stage 3 loan calculation is not discounted over a future period, but rather the provision is calculated at nominal value. Financial assets in stage 1 and stage 2 are assessed for impairment collectively, whilst those assets in stage 3 are subject to either collective or specific impairment assessment. Significant changes in credit risk Significant increases in credit risk for financial assets are assessed by comparing the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of a financial asset at the reporting date compared to the corresponding risk of default at origination. In determining what constitutes a significant increase in credit risk, the Group considers qualitative and quantitative information. The judgement to determine this is primarily based on changes in internal customer risk grades since origination of the facility. For all of the Group’s loan portfolios, in addition to the primary indicator, a mathematical model has been developed to identify where a facility’s recent behaviour has deteriorated significantly from its original behaviour. Key judgements and estimates made by the Group include the following: Forward looking information The measurement of expected credit losses needs to reflect an unbiased probability-weighted range of possible future outcomes. AASB 9 provides limited guidance on how to meet this requirement and consequently, the Group has developed an approach considered appropriate for its credit portfolio, informed by emerging market practices. In applying forward looking information in its AASB 9 credit models, the Group considered three alternate economic scenarios (base case, strong recovery and moderate recession), to ensure a sufficient unbiased representative sample is included in estimating ECL. At 30 June 2022, the forward looking component of the collective provision for doubtful debts is $0.9m (2021: $1.5m). The balance of the overlay at 30 June 2021 reflected the level of uncertainty of the potential ongoing impact of COVID-19 at that time. At 30 June 2022, while there are no customers on COVID related assistance, the overlay now primarily reflects the uncertainty surrounding the impact of inflation and higher interest rates on the economic recovery. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 83 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 4.4 Transfer of financial assets (securitisation program) Some loans and advances to customers are sold by the Group to securitisation vehicles. The transfer takes the form of the Group assuming an obligation to pass cash flows from the underlying assets to investors in the notes. The Group utilises its securitisation program to provide regulatory capital relief and funding diversification. The following table sets out the carrying values at the transaction date of financial assets transferred during the financial year in this manner to vehicles that provide regulatory capital relief and the value of the associated liabilities issued from the vehicles. This table does not include transfer of assets to the securitisation vehicle in which the Group is the bond holder. Transferred financial assets: Loans and advances Associated financial liabilities Securitisation liabilities to external investors Transfer of financial assets accounting policy 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 350,389 350,389 - - Once assets are transferred to a securitisation vehicle, the Group does not have the ability to use the transferred assets during the term of the arrangement. The Group does not have any loans transferred to unconsolidated securitisation vehicles. The consolidated securitisation vehicles generally transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets to the investors in the notes. However, derecognition of the transferred assets from the Group is prohibited because the cash flows that the securitisation vehicles collect from the transferred assets on behalf of the investors are not passed to them without material delay. In these cases, the consideration received from the investors in the notes in the form of cash is recognised as a financial asset and a corresponding financial liability is recognised. The investors in the notes have recourse only to the cash flows from the transferred financial assets. 4.5 Deposits and other borrowings including subordinated notes Deposits At call deposits Term deposits Negotiable certificates of deposit Total deposits Other borrowings Subordinated notes(i) Floating rate notes(ii) Securitisation liabilities 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 3,456,811 2,965,447 2,335,273 1,682,015 516,463 281,279 6,308,547 4,928,741 49,758 149,685 34,662 49,976 1,090,194 1,066,415 Total deposits and other borrowings including subordinated notes 7,598,184 6,079,794 Concentration of deposits: Customer deposits Wholesale deposits Subordinated notes(i) Floating rate notes(ii) Securitisation liabilities Total deposits 5,553,779 4,462,773 754,768 465,968 49,758 149,685 34,662 49,976 1,090,194 1,066,415 7,598,184 6,079,794 t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 84 (i) Refer to note 3.1 (ii) for details regarding the subordinated notes issue. (ii) On 20 November 2021, floating rate notes with a face value of $100m and term of 3 years were issued by MyState Limited. There are no customers who individually have deposits which represent 10% or more of total liabilities. MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Deposits and other borrowings accounting policy Deposits and other borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. The Group does not currently hold any financial liabilities at fair value. 4.6 Other liabilities Trade payables and related accruals Lease liabilities Total other liabilities Lease liabilities 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 6,975 10,238 17,213 8,699 11,906 20,605 Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease (or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate). Lease payments are allocated between principal and interest expense. Interest expense is recognised as a financing cost within interest expense (refer note 2.1) in the income statement over the lease period. Any variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability are also recognised in the income statement in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs. Lease liabilities are remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in lease term, an assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, an index or rate, or a change in the estimated amount payable under a residual value guarantee. When the lease liability is remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying value of the Right-of-use (ROU) asset, or, in the income statement, where the carrying value of the ROU asset has been fully written down. The ROU asset is recorded in property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets (refer to note 5.1). 4.7 Fair value of financial instruments Classification of financial instruments Cash and liquid assets and amounts due from financial institutions are carried at cost. As these assets are short term assets, their cost is considered to approximate their fair value. The following financial assets and liabilities are also carried at amortised cost: › Financial instruments; › Loans and advances; › Deposits; and › Other borrowings. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 85 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 The aggregate net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities which are carried at amortised cost is: Financial assets Financial instruments Loans and advances Total financial assets Financial liabilities Deposits 30 June 2022 30 June 2021 Carrying value $’000 Net fair value $’000 Carrying value $’000 Net fair value $’000 833,397 819,283 707,729 725,199 6,971,375 6,893,600 5,607,300 5,613,341 7,804,772 7,712,883 6,315,029 6,338,540 6,308,547 6,301,702 4,928,741 4,928,719 Other borrowings including subordinated notes 1,289,637 1,288,359 1,151,053 1,150,973 Total financial liabilities 7,598,184 7,590,061 6,079,794 6,079,692 Fair value hierarchy The level in the fair value hierarchy of the inputs used in determining the fair values is shown below. The fair value of these assets is: Level 1 - inputs that are prices quoted for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2 - inputs based on observable market data other than those in level 1; and Level 3 - inputs for which there is no observable market data. Where the expected maturity is in excess of 12 months, the fair value is discounted to its present value. During the year, there have been no material transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. 2022 Financial assets Financial instruments Loans and advances Financial liabilities Deposits Other borrowings including subordinated notes 2021 Financial assets Financial instruments Loans and advances Financial liabilities Deposits Other borrowings including subordinated notes Level 1 value $’000 Level 2 value $’000 Level 3 value $’000 Total value $’000 - - - - - - - - 819,283 - 819,283 - 6,893,600 6,893,600 6,301,702 1,288,359 - - 6,301,702 1,288,359 725,199 - 725,199 - 5,613,341 5,613,341 4,928,719 1,150,973 - - 4,928,719 1,150,973 t r o p e r l The Group has performed a VaR analysis as detailed in note 3.2, Market risk.

Fair value, is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount for which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and seller in an arm’s length transaction as at valuation date. Any revaluation surplus is credited to the asset revaluation reserve included in the equity section of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, unless it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Any revaluation deficit is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement unless it directly offsets a previous surplus of the same asset in the asset revaluation reserve. A property previously classified as land and buildings was reclassified as Investment property in the prior comparative period and held for sale and subsequently disposed of during the financial year. Plant and equipment and right-of-use (ROU) assets Plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. The cost of ROU assets correspond to the amount recognised for the lease liability on initial recognition together with any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, net of any lease incentives received and initial direct costs. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets The carrying values of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash flows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Derecognition of property, plant and equipment and right of use assets An item of property, plant and equipment or right-of-use asset is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the Consolidated Income Statement in the year the item is derecognised. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 87 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 5.2 Investment property Land and buildings At revalued amount Accumulated depreciation Total investment property Investment property accounting policy Land and buildings 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 - - - - 5,293 (1,492) 3,801 3,801 Following initial recognition at cost, land and buildings are carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation on buildings and accumulated impairment losses. Independent valuations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying amount does not differ materially from the asset’s fair value at the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date. Fair value, is determined by reference to market-based evidence, which is the amount for which the assets could be exchanged between a knowledgeable willing buyer and seller in an arm’s length transaction as at valuation date. Any revaluation surplus is credited to the asset revaluation reserve included in the equity section of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, unless it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement. Any revaluation deficit is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement unless it directly offsets a previous surplus of the same asset in the asset revaluation reserve. At 31 December 2021, the investment property was reclassified from Investment property to Held for sale in line with AASB 5 Non-Current assets held for Sale. Prior to reclassification, the property was revalued and a gain on revaluation of $530k was recognised in line with the requirements of AASB 140 Investment Property. The property has subsequently been sold and settled on 16 May 2022. A gain on disposal of $324k has been recorded separately in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Following initial recognition, the cost model is applied to the class of intangible assets. The useful lives of these intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or infinite. Where amortisation is charged on assets with finite lives, this expense is taken to the Consolidated Income Statement. Certain costs directly incurred in acquiring and developing software are capitalised and amortised over the estimated useful life. Software as a Service arrangement Any capitalised costs of configuring or customising a supplier’s application software in a software as a service arrangement have been derecognised in the financials in line with the IFRS Interpretation Committee’s (IFRIC) agenda decision in April 2021. The impact has been recognised in the Group’s retained earnings. (Refer to note 1.3) Intangible assets are tested for impairment where an indicator of impairment exists and, in the case of indefinite life intangibles (limited to Goodwill), annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Useful lives are also examined on an annual basis and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis. Goodwill is treated as an indefinite life intangible, software and other intangibles are finite life intangibles. Refer to note 2.4 Expenses for the useful life of tangible and intangible assets. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 89 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Impairment testing of Goodwill For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill has been allocated to the Group’s two cash-generating units (CGU’s) the Banking Business and the Wealth Management Business. These CGU’s represent the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The aggregate carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to each CGU for the purpose of impairment testing is as follows: Banking Business Wealth Management Business Total goodwill 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 40,189 24,963 65,152 40,189 24,963 65,152 The Group’s assessment of goodwill value-in-use exceeds the carrying value allocated to the CGUs and included in the financial statements. The recoverable amounts for each CGU’s value-in-use was determined using cash flow projections from Board approved financial budgets for the year ending 30 June 2023. Growth rates have been applied from year two through to year ten. Cash flows are projected by undertaking detailed calculations for each income and expense category over a three year period and are then extrapolated off the 3rd year, which is the lowest point of growth. An exit value is calculated at the end of 10 years, based on an implied terminal value earnings multiple of 8.5 and 9.2 for the Banking Business and the Wealth Management Business respectively, and a long-term growth rate not exceeding industry. A post-tax discount rate of 11.7% (16.7% pre-tax) and 11.1% (15.9% pre tax) was used for the Banking Business and the Wealth Management Business respectively. Certain income categories are modelled by projecting growth in relevant portfolio balances and the resulting income derived there-from. Other non-portfolio related income streams and expense categories are modelled by projecting real rates of growth (above inflation) for each category. Terminal value is determined at year ten using the assumption that the CGU achieves no real growth above inflation into perpetuity. The growth rates applied do not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the business which the CGU operates. The discount rate used of 11.7% reflects the Group’s post-tax nominal weighted average cost of capital, which has been reviewed by externally engaged advisers and approved by the Board. Average inflation is projected to be 5.1%. The method for determining value-in-use is consistent with that adopted in the comparative period. The key assumptions adopted in assessing Banking’s value-in-use are the rate of growth in the balance of the housing loan portfolio and the outlook for net interest margin (NIM). Taking into account management’s past experiences and external evidence, the assumptions that have been adopted for both of these components are considered to be reasonable. Management expects that any reasonably possible change to assumptions used in Management’s assessment will not result in impairment. The key assumption adopted in assessing Wealth Management’s value-in-use is the rate of growth in income derived from management fee (MF) income. MF income is derived from its activities as the responsible entity for various Managed Investment Schemes (MIS). MF income derived is directly related to the portfolio balances of the MIS. Other sources of income for the Wealth Management Business are its Trustee Services divisions. Taking into account Management’s past experiences and external evidence, the assumptions adopted are considered reasonable. Management’s assessment of Wealth Management’s value-in-use exceeds its carrying value. Any reasonably possible change to assumptions used in Management’s assessment will not result in impairment. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 90 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Goodwill accounting policy Goodwill on the acquisition of businesses is carried at cost as established at the date of the acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units (or groups of CGU’s) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. A CGU to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the CGU. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. On disposal of the relevant CGU, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal. Impairment of subsidiaries accounting policy Investments in subsidiaries are tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the investment’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use). At each balance sheet date, the investments in subsidiaries that have been impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment. 5.4 Employee benefits provisions Balances Provision for annual leave Provision for long service leave Total employee benefits provisions Due to be settled within 12 months Due to be settled in more than 12 months Total employee benefits provisions Employee benefits accounting policy 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 2,319 3,266 5,585 4,129 1,456 5,585 2,006 3,234 5,240 3,879 1,361 5,240 Liabilities for salaries, wages and annual leave are recognised in respect of employees’ service up to the reporting date. Where settlement is expected to occur within twelve months of the reporting date, the liabilities are measured at their nominal amounts based on the remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Where settlement is expected to occur later than twelve months from reporting date, the liabilities are measured at the present value of payments which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. A liability for long service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Contributions are made by the Group to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 91 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 5.5 Share capital Issued and paid up ordinary shares Movements in ordinary share capital Opening balance Shares issued pursuant to the: - Group employee share scheme - Executive long term incentive plan 30 June 2022 $’000 30 June 2021 $’000 211,167 208,196 30 June 2022 30 June 2021 Number of shares Amount $’000 Number of shares Amount $’000 105,275,092 208,196 92,008,862 152,775 12,584 - 62 - 21,853 34,063 84 167 - Dividend reinvestment plan 617,265 3,000 307,239 1,397 - Institutional placement and entitlement offer - Retail entitlement offer - Less: Share issue transaction costs, net of tax - - - - - (91) 7,274,502 31,280 5,628,573 24,203 - (1,710) Closing balance 105,904,941 211,167 105,275,092 208,196 Terms and conditions Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared from time to time and, in the event of a winding up of the Company, to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of shares and amounts paid up on the shares held.

Income tax expense on the profit or loss of the period comprises current tax and deferred tax. Current tax payable Current tax payable is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year using tax rates that have been enacted, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at reporting date. Temporary differences are calculated at each reporting date as the difference between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax base. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except: › Where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and › When the taxable temporary differences associated with the investments in subsidiaries and the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised except: › When the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affect neither the accounting profit nor the taxable profit and loss; and › When the deductible temporary differences are associated with investments in subsidiaries, in which case a deferred tax asset is only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxable authority. The Group undertakes transactions in the ordinary course of business where the income tax treatment requires the exercise of judgement. The Group estimates its tax liability based on its understanding of the tax law. Tax consolidation The Group has elected to be taxed as a single entity under the tax consolidation regime. The head company is MyState Limited. The members of the Group have entered into a tax sharing agreement that provides for the allocation of income tax liabilities among the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations. No amounts have been recognised in the financial statements in respect of this agreement on the basis that the possibility of default is remote. t r o p e R l i a c n a n F i 94 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 The Company and the controlled entities in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The Company has applied the separate tax payer within group approach in determining the appropriate amount of current taxes and deferred taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group. Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly-owned tax consolidated entities. 7.1 Parent entity information The accounting policies of the parent entity, which have been applied in determining the financial information shown below, are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements. Refer to note 1 and policy notes within the financial statements for a summary of the significant accounting policies relating to the Group.

Transactions between the Company and the consolidated entities principally arise from the provision of management and governance services. All transactions with subsidiaries are in accordance with regulatory requirements, the majority of which are on commercial terms. All transactions undertaken during the financial year with the consolidated entities are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Amounts due from and due to entities are presented separately in the Statement of Financial Position of the Company except where offsetting reflects the substance of the transaction or event. t r o p e R l i a c n a n F i 95 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 7.2 Controlled entities and principles of consolidation Details of the Group’s material subsidiaries at the end of the reporting period are as follows. Significant subsidiaries Principal activities MyState Bank Limited TPT Wealth Limited Banking Wealth Management Connect Asset Management Pty Ltd Manager of Securitisation Vehicles Country of Incorporation Ownership Interest Australia Australia Australia 100% 100% 100% Basis of consolidation accounting policy The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company: › Has power over the investee; › Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and › Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of these three elements of control. When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including: › The size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders; › Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties; › Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and › Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Consolidated Income Statement and Other Comprehensive Income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of Other Comprehensive Income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation. 7.3 Related party disclosures The ultimate parent entity and controlling entity is MyState Limited. Balances and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties of the Company, have been eliminated on consolidation and are not disclosed in this note. Details of transactions between the Group and other related parties are disclosed in the following paragraphs. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 96 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 Managed Investment Schemes Within the Group, TPT Wealth Limited (TPT) is a Responsible Entity for Managed Investment Schemes (Funds) and, accordingly, has significant influence over their activities.

BBaassiiss ffoorr OOppiinniioonn We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia; and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. KKeeyy AAuuddiitt MMaatttteerrss Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 101 75 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying Financial Report. 11.. OOppeerraattiioonn ooff IITT SSyysstteemmss aanndd CCoonnttrroollss Key audit matter How our audit addressed the matter We focus our audit on those IT systems and controls that are significant to the Group’s financial reporting process. We assessed and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Group’s IT controls, including those over user access and change management as well as data reliability and integrity. This involved assessing: • Technology control environment and governance; • Change management processes for software applications; • Access controls designed to enforce segregation of duties; • System development, the appropriateness of management’s testing and implementation controls; reviewing • We carried out direct tests of the operation of key programs to establish the accuracy of calculations, the correct generation of reports, and to assess the correct operation of automated controls and technology- dependent manual controls; and • Third party reports on IT systems and controls. For outsourced providers, we obtain assurance from third party auditors on the design and operating effectiveness of controls. This is a key audit matter because a significant part of the Group’s financial reporting process is heavily reliant on IT systems with automated processes and controls for the capture, processing, storage, and extraction of information. There has been continued change to the Group’s IT landscape in the 2022 financial year and it has been essential to ensure appropriate user access and change management protocols exist and are being observed. These protocols are important because they ensure that access and changes to IT systems and related data are made and authorised in an appropriate manner. These key controls mitigate potential fraud or error because of change to an application or underlying data. MyState has outsourced arrangements in place for a number of key IT processes. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 102 76 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 22..

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 104 78 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 AAuuddiittoorr’’ss RReessppoonnssiibbiilliittiieess ffoorr tthhee AAuuddiitt ooff tthhee FFiinnaanncciiaall RReeppoorrtt Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors. • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. t r o p e r l i a c n a n F i 79 105 MyState Limited - Annual Report 2022 From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
