The Queensland Treasury Corporation Half-Yearly Report for

the half-year ended December 31, 2015.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This exhibit contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the State of Queensland’s (the “State” or “Queensland”) beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, budgets, estimates and projections and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them. The words “believe”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “estimate”, “continue”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “expect”, “forecast” and similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and neither the Queensland Treasury Corporation nor the State undertake any obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

Forward-looking statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections and, therefore, undue reliance should not be placed on them. Although the Queensland Treasury Corporation and the State believe that the beliefs and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such beliefs and expectations will prove to have been correct. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. We caution you that actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that could cause the actual outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include:

 

    the international and Australian economies, and in particular the rates of growth (or contraction) of the State’s major trading partners;

 

    the effects, both internationally and in Australia, of any further global financial crisis, any subsequent economic downturn, the ongoing economic, banking and sovereign debt crisis in Europe and any stalling of the protracted United States recovery;

 

    increases or decreases in international and Australian domestic interest rates;

 

    changes in the State’s domestic consumption;

 

    changes in the State’s labor force participation and productivity;

 

    downgrades in the credit ratings of the State and Australia;

 

    changes in the rate of inflation in the State;

 

    changes in environmental and other regulation; and

 

    changes in the distribution of revenue from the Commonwealth of Australia Government to the State.

QUEENSLAND TREASURY CORPORATION

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

As the Queensland Government’s central financing authority, Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) plays a pivotal role in securing the State’s financial success.

With a focus on whole-of-State outcomes, QTC provides a range of financial services to the State and its public sector entities, including local governments. These services include debt funding and management, cash management facilities, financial risk management advisory services, and specialist public finance education.

 

Debt funding and management

QTC borrows funds in the domestic and global markets in the most cost-effective manner and in a way that minimises liquidity risk and refinancing risk. QTC achieves significant economies of scale and scope by issuing, managing and administering the State’s debt funding.

QTC works closely with Queensland’s public sector entities, including local governments, to assist them to effectively manage their financial transactions, minimise their financial risk and achieve the best financial solutions for their organisation and the State.

Cash management facilities

QTC assists the State’s public sector entities to make the best use of their surplus cash balances within a conservative risk management framework. It offers overnight and fixed-term facilities and a managed short-term fund.

Financial risk management advisory services

QTC offers a range of financial risk management advisory services to clients, including:

 

  support to ensure financial risks are identified and effectively managed

 

  advice on financial and commercial considerations

 

  expertise in financial transactions and structures

 

  project management support to deliver key fiscal outcomes, and

 

  collaboration with the financial markets and private sector institutions.

Specialist public finance education

QTC offers a range of education and training courses that complements its products and advisory services and allows it to share its specialist financial, commercial, treasury management and risk management expertise with clients. Courses are developed and delivered by QTC’s experienced professionals and industry experts.

UPDATE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE

BORROWING PROGRAM

Following the release of the Queensland State Government’s Mid-Year Fiscal and Economic Review on 15 December 2015, QTC announced it would reduce its 2015-16 borrowing program by AUD600 million. QTC’s forecast term debt borrowing program is now AUD5.9 billion, and as at end of December 2015, QTC had raised AUD3.8 billion toward this target.

During the reporting period, QTC lengthened its benchmark bond curve by issuing a new 2026 benchmark bond. The syndicated transaction raised AUD1.75 billion and saw almost 50 per cent allocated to North American based investors, highlighting the success of having the US Rule 144A capability embedded into QTC’s AUD bond program.

QTC’s AUD benchmark bonds will remain QTC’s principal source of funding as it seeks to finalise its borrowings for the 2015-16 fiscal year. The issuance of short-term debt through its commercial paper and treasury note programs will be maintained at approximately AUD5 billion.

In December 2015, QTC was voted as the winner of the KangaNews Australian Sovereign Agency/Issuer of the Year Award by Australasian debt market participants. This was QTC’s first win in this category since 2009 and reflects QTC’s commitment to investor engagement, transparent and open communication with the market and a diverse range of funding facilities.

CREDIT RATINGS

On 15 October 2015, Moody’s Investors Service released its credit opinion on Queensland/QTC, keeping the existing rating of Aa1/P1 with a negative outlook. Moody’s cites that Queensland’s credit quality reflects the State’s strong budget flexibility, which allows it to adjust revenues and expenditures as required to meet fiscal challenges.

Standard & Poor’s affirmed Queensland’s and QTC’s credit rating at AA+/A-1+ with a stable outlook on 10 November 2015. Their view reflected Queensland’s exceptional liquidity, very strong economy, strong financial management and low contingent liabilities.

OPERATING PROFIT

For the half-year ended 31 December 2015, QTC achieved an operating profit after tax from its capital markets operations of

$25.1 million (HY2014: $43.9 million). In addition to these capital markets activities, QTC’s long-term assets operations recorded a $855.1 million loss (HY2014: $44.9 million loss)*.

* Under an administrative arrangement, QTC on behalf of the State receives returns from investments held to meet the State’s long-term obligations, primarily superannuation, which are managed by QIC Limited. In return, QTC has issued to the State fixed-rate notes at a current interest rate of 7.0 per cent, which is the expected long-term average rate of return on the portfolio. This has resulted in the State receiving a fixed rate of return on the notes while QTC bears the impact of fluctuations in the value of and returns on the long-term asset portfolio. There is no cash flow effect; any losses incurred have no impact on QTC’s capital markets activities or its ability to meet its obligations. The operating loss for the half year was due to the interest rate on the fixed rate notes exceeding earnings from the portfolio.

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Queensland Treasury Corporation (QTC) is constituted under the Queensland Treasury Corporation Act 1988 (the Act), with the Under Treasurer designated as the Corporation Sole under section 5 (2) of the Act.

QTC plays a pivotal role as the Queensland Government’s central financing authority. With a focus on whole-of-State outcomes, QTC provides a range of financial services to the State and its public sector entities, including local governments. These services include debt funding and management, cash management facilities, financial risk management advisory services, and specialist public finance education.

These services, which form part of QTC’s Capital Markets Operations segment, are undertaken on a cost-recovery basis with QTC lending at an interest rate based on its cost of funds and with the benefits/costs of liability and asset management being passed on to its clients being Queensland public sector entities. However QTC’s Capital Markets Operations can generate a profit largely reflecting the interest earned from the investment of its equity. In undertaking its Capital Markets activities, QTC maintains adequate capital to manage its risks.

QTC holds a portfolio of assets which were transferred to QTC by the State Government. These assets are the investments of QTC’s Long Term Assets segment and are held to fund superannuation and other long-term obligations of the State such as insurance and long service leave. In return, QTC has issued to the State fixed rate notes with an interest rate of 7.0 per cent which is the expected long term average rate of return on the portfolio. This has resulted in the State receiving a fixed rate of return on the notes, while QTC bears the impact of fluctuations in the value and returns on the asset portfolio.

The Long Term Asset Advisory Board is responsible for the oversight of the Long Term Assets which do not form part of QTC’s day-to-day Capital Markets Operations. The Long Term Assets are held in unit trusts managed by QIC Limited (QIC).

The accounting policies for each operating segment are applied consistently.

Although there is no domestic requirement for the preparation of half-year financial statements, in order to meet offshore requirements and to better meet the needs of users of QTC’s financial information, an interim general purpose financial report has been prepared.

 

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER EXPLANATORY INFORMATION

 

(a) Basis of preparation

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.

 

(b) Change in accounting policies, accounting standards and interpretations

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim condensed financial statements have been applied consistently with those used in the preceding annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2015.

 

(c) Impact of standards issued but not yet adopted

QTC has not early adopted any new or amended standards that have been issued but are not yet effective.

 

(d) Estimations and uncertainties

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the half-year condensed financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Corporation’s preceding annual financial statements.

* The majority of onlendings are provided to clients on a pooled fund basis. Interest costs are allocated to clients based on the daily movement in the market value of the pooled fund. In periods of falling interest rates, the market value of the funding pool will rise leading to higher interest income from onlendings. During the half-year ended 31 December 2015, interest rates fell however not to the same extent as in the comparative period, resulting in lower interest income in the current period.

9 FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

 

Financial instruments measured at fair value have been classified in accordance with the hierarchy described in AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement. The fair value hierarchy is categorised into three levels based on the observability of the inputs used.

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that QTC can access at measurement date for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

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

All financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are valued by reference to either quoted market prices or observable inputs with no significant adjustments applied to instruments held and therefore no financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are classified under Level 3.

Financial assets classified as Level 1 consist primarily of short-term and tradable bank deposits, Commonwealth and semi-government bonds and futures contracts where an active market has been established.

Financial instruments classified as Level 2 include non-actively traded corporate and semi-government bonds (including the QTC 2033 Bond and QTC Capital Index Bond), certain money market securities (commercial paper and treasury notes), floating rate notes, term deposits, QTC onlendings and all over the counter derivatives.

Classification of instruments into fair value hierarchy levels is reviewed semi-annually and where there has been a significant change to the valuation inputs and a transfer is deemed to occur, this is effected at the end of the relevant reporting period. QTC floating rate notes were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 during the half-year ended 31 December 2015.

(1) Movement during the period is for the six months to 31 December 2015 and for the twelve months to 30 June 2015.
(2) As announced in the 2015-16 State Budget, it is expected that approximately $3.4 billion set aside to meet the State’s long service leave liability will be withdrawn from these assets prior to the end of the financial year.

 

11 FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY

Financial instruments have been classified in accordance with the hierarchy described in AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement, as per note 9.

Investments in unit trusts are valued by QIC using fair value methodologies adjusted for fees outstanding. QIC reports the net asset value based on the hard close unit price at measurement date (classified as Level 2 - Observable inputs). As at 31 December 2015, investments in unit trusts are valued at $34 286 million (June 2015: $34 656 million).

The Board considers that the carrying value of financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the condensed financial statements approximates their fair value. For the purposes of the fair value hierarchy, the fixed rate notes are categorised as level 3 – Unobservable inputs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the Capital Markets Board of Queensland Treasury Corporation

Review Report on the Half-year Financial Report

I have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Queensland Treasury Corporation, which comprises the balance sheet as at 31 December 2015, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the certificates given by the Chairman and Chief Executive.

THE BOARD’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

The Capital Markets Board (the Board), as delegated by the Corporation Sole, is responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and for such internal control as the Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY

My responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on my review. I conducted my review in accordance with the Auditor-General of Queensland Auditing Standards and Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410

Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, I have become aware of any matter that makes me believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including: giving a true and fair view of Queensland Treasury Corporation’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. As the auditor of Queensland Treasury Corporation, ASRE 2410 requires that I comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable me to obtain assurance that I would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, I do not express an audit opinion.

INDEPENDENCE

The Auditor-General Act 2009 promotes the independence of the Auditor-General and all authorised auditors. The Auditor-General is the auditor of all Queensland public sector entities and can be removed only by Parliament.

The Auditor-General may conduct a review in any way considered appropriate and is not subject to direction by any person about the way in which audit powers are to be exercised. The Auditor-General has for the purposes of conducting a review, access to all documents and property and can report to Parliament matters which in the Auditor-General’s opinion are significant.

CONCLUSION

Based on my review, which is not an audit, I have not become aware of any matter that makes me believe that the half-year financial report of Queensland Treasury Corporation does not present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the financial position of Queensland Treasury Corporation as at 31 December 2015 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and comply with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

For the half-year ended 31 December 2015

Review of Operations

QTC made an operating loss after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2015 of AUD830.0 million consisting of the following operating segment results:

CAPITAL MARKETS OPERATIONS

During the period from 1 July 2015 to 31 December 2015, QTC continued in its ordinary course of business as the State of Queensland’s central financing authority and corporate treasury services provider. The operating profit after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2015 for the Capital Markets Operations segment was AUD25.1 million.

LONG TERM ASSETS

QTC holds a portfolio of assets which were transferred to QTC by the State Government under an administrative arrangement. These assets are the investments of QTC’s Long Term Assets segment and were accumulated to fund superannuation and other long-term obligations of the State such as insurance and long service leave. In return, QTC issued to the State fixed rate notes which has resulted in the State receiving a fixed rate of return on the notes, while QTC bears the impact of fluctuations in the value and returns on the asset portfolio.

The operating loss after tax for the Long Term Assets segment was AUD855.1 million due to the interest rate on the liability exceeding earnings from the portfolio which returned positive outcomes for all major asset classes apart from global equities and global fixed interest over the half-year.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The first half of 2015-16 was characterised by volatility in financial markets largely reflecting the uncertainty around the timing of the first interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) in almost 10 years, a focus on the economic growth in China and other emerging markets, as well as the volatility of equity markets and commodity and energy prices. Conditions in financial markets in the second half of 2015-16 will likely depend on the speed of the US Fed’s hiking cycle, growth prospects of Chinese and emerging market economies and whether commodity and energy prices stabilise. Despite these uncertainties, this is not expected to impact materially on QTC’s Capital Markets performance or its ability to fund the State’s borrowing requirement.
