2010 Performance
Our results, progress and performance in building ANZ as a ‘super regional’ bank is described in our 2010 Shareholder and Corporate Responsibility Review.
Against a backdrop of continuing uncertainty in the global environment, particularly in the US and European economies, we announced an underlying profit of $5 billion for the year ended 30 September, 2010, up 33% on the prior year.
Our 2010 performance demonstrates that we have real momentum in every area of our business and that our 47,000 staff are delivering good outcomes for shareholders, while also performing for our customers and the community.
Fundamental to our success is our commitment to growing our business responsibly. Over the long term, our performance will be a reflection of our financial results combined with how effectively we serve our customers and contribute to the communities where we operate.
I am particularly proud of our work during 2010 to support customers facing financial difficulty; assist communities affected by natural disasters; and help improve financial capability among people on low incomes.
Our Review also describes our approach to issues which have challenged us and how we are working to balance the needs and interests of a range of stakeholders.
As always I welcome your feedback on our strategy, progress and results.
Yours sincerely
Mike Smith
