Australian Bank ANZ's Second-Half Profit to Take A$1.11 Billion Hit

By Stuart Condie


SYDNEY--ANZ said its second-half profit will be hit by restructuring charges, impairments and other one-off costs totaling 1.11 billion Australian dollars, or about US$728 million.

Australia's fourth-largest bank by market capitalization on Friday said that the post-tax charge, combined with a goodwill adjustment related to its recent Suncorp Bank acquisition, will reduce its CET1 capital ratio by 19 basis points.

The largest component of profit hit will be A$414 million for the 3,500 redundancies ANZ disclosed in September. The pre-tax cost will be A$585 million, higher than the bank's initial A$560 million estimate.

ANZ is scheduled to announce its second-half results on Nov. 10 alongside its full-year earnings report.
