Considerations for FY18

•Remaining disciplined on growth/return

•Expect system lending growth to moderate

•Exit margin (Sept 17 month) higher than 2H17. FY18 margin will be impacted

by more mortgage switching from interest only to principal & interest

•Headwinds from changes in ATM and transaction fees (approximately $50m)

•Targeting similar productivity savings and keeping costs in 2-3% range

•Asset quality remains in good shape

Cash earnings and reported net profit reconciliation

Westpac Group 2017 Full Year Results Presentation & Investor Discussion Pack

1 Cash earnings is not a measure of cash flow or net profit determined on a cash accounting basis, as it includes non-cash items reflected in net profit determined in accordance with AAS (Australian Accounting

Standards). The specific adjustments outlined include both cash and non-cash items. Cash earnings is reported net profit adjusted for material items to ensure they appropriately reflect profits available to ordinary

shareholders. All adjustments shown are after tax. For further details refer to slide 132.


•Westpac Group uses a measure of performance referred to as cash earnings to assess financial

performance at both a Group and divisional level

•This measure has been used in the Australian banking market for around 15 years and management

believes it is the most effective way to assess performance for the current period against prior

periods and to compare performance across divisions and across peer companies

•To calculate cash earnings, reported net profit is adjusted for:

−Material items that key decision makers at Westpac Group believe do not reflect ongoing

operations

−Items that are not considered when dividends are recommended, such as the amortisation of

intangibles, impact of treasury shares and economic hedging impacts

−Accounting reclassifications between individual line items that do not impact reported results

Changes in the treatment of hardship now flowing

through other consumer delinquencies

1 For consumer unsecured portfolios when an account reaches 180 days past due, in line with portfolio practices, it is written off. 2 For consumer unsecured portfolios any payments received after write-off and until

the serviceability period has expired and if the account returns to performing are recorded as recoveries.

Industry comparability Prior Westpac approach Current Westpac approach

Impact on unsecured consumer lending Impact on mortgages - completed

APRA is standardising the industry treatment of delinquency classification of facilities in hardship

Hardship allows eligible customers to reduce or defer repayments in the short term to manage through a period of financial difficulty

(e.g. unemployment, injury, natural disasters). Solutions are tailored to customer circumstances and may include extending the loan or restructuring.

•Westpac changed hardship treatment following

guidance from APRA. Implemented change for

mortgage portfolio; changes for NZ and consumer

unsecured currently underway

•Treatment across banks and non-banks, including

serviceability period applied is not yet aligned. This

makes comparability of absolute 90+ day

delinquencies across the industry more difficult


•When a mortgage account entered hardship its

delinquency status (30, 60, or 90 days etc.) was

frozen until after hardship arrangements ended or

the facility returned to performing (or not)

•When an unsecured account entered hardship its

delinquency status was treated as performing whilst

under the hardship arrangement


•An account in hardship continues to migrate

through delinquency buckets

•Accounts reported as delinquent

1

until repayments

maintained for 6 months (‘serviceability period’)

2

•Average hardship period granted is 3-4 months

•Hardship plus serviceability period averages 10

months

•Changes have no impact on Westpac’s risk profile

•Westpac regularly conducts a range of portfolio stress tests as part of its

regulatory and risk management activities

•The Australian mortgage portfolio stress testing scenario presented represents a

severe recession and assumes that significant reductions in consumer spending

and business investment lead to six consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.

This results in a material increase in unemployment and nationwide falls in

property and other asset prices

•Estimated Australian housing portfolio losses under these stressed conditions are

manageable and within the Group’s risk appetite and capital base

−Cumulative total losses of $2.9bn over three years for the uninsured portfolio

(FY16: $2.9bn)

−Cumulative claims on LMI, both WLMI and external insurers, of $762m over the

three years (FY16: $856m)

−Cumulative loss rates are unchanged (69bps compared to 69bps at FY16)

−WLMI separately conducts stress testing to test the sufficiency of its capital

position to cover mortgage claims arising from a stressed mortgage

environment

•Capital targets incorporate buffers at the Westpac Group level that also consider

the combined impact on the mortgage portfolio and WLMI of severe stress

scenarios

Well placed on internationally comparable

CET1 and leverage ratios

Westpac Group 2017 Full Year Results Presentation & Investor Discussion Pack

Peer group comprises listed commercial banks with assets in excess of A$700bn and which have disclosed fully implemented Basel III ratios or provided sufficient disclosure to estimate. Based on company

reports/presentations. Ratios at 30 June 2017, except for Westpac, ANZ and NAB, which are at 30 Sep 2017, while Scotiabank, Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank of Canada and Toronto Dominion are at 31 July 2017.

For CET1, assumes Basel III capital reforms fully implemented. Leverage ratio is on a transitional basis. Where accrued expected dividends have been deducted, these have been added back for comparability. US

banks are excluded from leverage ratio analysis due to business model differences, for example from loans sold to US Government sponsored enterprises.

Internationally comparable capital ratio reconciliation

1 Methodology aligns with the APRA study titled “International capital comparison study", dated 13 July 2015.

Capital, Funding and Liquidity

(%)

Westpac’s CET1 capital ratio (APRA basis)


10.6

Equity investments Balances below prescribed threshold are risk weighted, compared to a 100% CET1 deduction under APRA’s requirements 0.5

Deferred tax assets Balances below prescribed threshold are risk weighted, compared to a 100% CET1 deduction under APRA’s requirements 0.3

Interest rate risk in the banking

book (IRRBB)

APRA requires capital to be held for IRRBB. The BCBS does not have a Pillar 1 capital requirement for IRRBB 0.4

Residential mortgages

Loss given default (LGD) of 15%, compared to the 20% LGD floor under APRA’s requirements. APRA also applies a

correlation factor for mortgages higher than the 15% factor prescribed in the Basel rules

1.8

Unsecured non-retail exposures LGD of 45%, compared to the 60% or higher LGD under APRA’s requirements 0.7

Non-retail undrawn commitments Credit conversion factor of 75%, compared to 100% under APRA’s requirements 0.5

Specialised lending


Use of internal-ratings based (IRB) probabilities of default (PD) and LGDs for income producing real estate and project

finance exposures, reduced by application of a scaling factor of 1.06. APRA applies higher risk weights under a supervisory

slotting approach, but does not require the application of the scaling factors

0.8

Currency conversion threshold

Increase in the A$ equivalent concessional threshold level for small business retail and small to medium enterprise

corporate exposures

0.2

Capitalised expenses

APRA requires these items to be deducted from CET1. The BCBS only requires exposures classified as intangible assets

under relevant accounting standards to be deducted from CET1

0.4

Internationally comparable CET1 capital ratio 16.2

Internationally comparable Tier 1 capital ratio 18.6

Internationally comparable total regulatory capital ratio 21.1

APRA’s Basel III capital requirements are more conservative than those of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), leading to lower reported

capital ratios by Australian banks. In July 2015, APRA published a study that compared the major banks’ capital ratios against a set of international peers

1

.

The following details the adjustments from this study and how Westpac’s APRA Basel III CET1 capital ratio aligns to an internationally comparable ratio

Investor property lending

Westpac Group 2017 Full Year Results Presentation & Investor Discussion Pack

•Investor activity has been a key driver of Australia’s housing markets in recent

years

•Demand from investors tends to be less sensitive to affordability considerations

with price expectations and yields more important factors

−Both remain supportive for demand with surveyed price expectations positive

and gross rental yields similar to the dividend yield on Australian shares and

well above returns on term deposits

•Investor activity can also be more volatile and susceptible to riskier ‘speculative’

behaviour. However, the latter does not appear to be a significant factor at the

moment. In particular, the proportion of ‘short term’ transactional buying appears

to be low: turnover in Australia’s housing markets is low by historical standards,

even in the stronger Sydney and Melbourne markets

New Zealand economy: growth to slow

Westpac Group 2017 Full Year Results Presentation & Investor Discussion Pack

127

•After expanding at a firm pace in recent years, New Zealand GDP growth is

expected to soften over the next few years

•Strong net migration has been a key driver of demand growth in recent years.

Migration flows have now started to ease back, and net migration is set to fall

sharply before the closer of the decade. Potential policy changes could reinforce

this slowdown

•There is a large amount of residential and non-residential building work planned

nationwide. However, construction activity has flattened off at a high level due to

tighter credit conditions, constraints on access to skilled labour and the softening

housing market. The level of activity is expected to remain elevated for an

extended period

•Post-earthquake reconstruction in the South Island is continuing. Spending is

well advanced and has been gradually winding down

•Housing market conditions have softened, and this is weighing on household

spending

•Export returns for our key commodities have improved over 2017, but prices are

expected to soften over the coming year. Tourist inflows remain strong

•The new coalition Government looks set to spend more than the previous one,

with new spending weighted towards education and health. It will be partly

funded by cancelling the income tax cuts that were legislated to take effect on

April 1 and by introducing new taxes. The balance would be funded by an

additional $7bn of net core Crown debt over the next four years. Proposed

changes would not significantly affect the Governments financial position

•Borrowing rates are expected to remain low for an extended period

Large pipeline of construction work, increases to be gradual

Migration cycle has started to turn down
