ANZ Group delivered statutory profit after tax of A$3.64 billion for the first half of fiscal year 2025, a rise of 16% on the prior half, the bank announced on 8 May 2025. Cash profit rose 12% half on half to A$3.57 billion. Revenues were a record, reflecting the first full half-year contribution from Suncorp Bank, whose acquisition was completed in the prior period.
Total revenue on a cash profit basis reached A$10,995 million for the first half, up 5% from the preceding six months.
CAPITAL AND DIVIDEND
ANZ's Common Equity Tier 1 ratio stood at 11.8% at the half-year mark. Cash return on equity was 10.2% for the half.
The board proposed an interim dividend of 83 cents per share for the first half, partially franked at 70%.
SUNCORP INTEGRATION
ANZ confirmed that the integration of Suncorp Bank remains on track, with cost synergies starting to be realised earlier than anticipated at the time of the acquisition.
Management said Suncorp Bank had performed strongly relative to its regional peers.
