Financial results based on cash earnings unless otherwise stated
Refer to the 1H18 Investor Discussion Pack for definition
This document should be read in conjunction with Westpac’s Pillar 3
Report June 2018, incorporating the requirements of APS330.
All comparisons in this document refer to 30 June 2018 compared to
31 March 2018 (unless otherwise stated)
Net interest margin down
11 basis points in 3Q18
•5bps of the decline due to rise in Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW), 4bps due to a lower Treasury contribution and
other factors impacted margins by 2bps
Well placed to meet
APRA’s CET1
unquestionably strong
benchmark
•Common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio 10.4% at 30 June 2018
•Down from 10.5% at 31 March 2018 as capital generated over the quarter (including conversion of $566m of
preference shares (CPS) to ordinary shares) was more than offset by the determination of the 1H18 dividend
(net of the DRP)
•Risk weighted assets (RWA) up modestly (0.4%); credit RWAs up $0.2bn and non-credit RWA up $1.6bn. No
material impact on RWA from regulatory model changes in 3Q18
•Internationally comparable
1
CET1 capital ratio 16.0% at 30 June 2018
Credit quality remains
sound
•Credit quality metrics remain near cyclical lows
•Level of impaired assets stable with no new individual impaired loans over $10m in the quarter. Stressed
assets to TCE
2
1bp lower at 1.08%
•Australian mortgage 90+ day delinquencies 0.72% (up 3bps over the quarter)
•Australian unsecured 90+ day delinquencies 1.76% (up 5bps over the quarter)
Sound funding/liquidity
position
•Net stable funding ratio (NSFR) 112%, liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) 127% - well above regulatory minimums
•$31bn term funding issued to end July 2018. FY18 term funding largely complete
Mortgage growth
comfortably within macro-
prudential boundaries
•Flow of interest only lending (based on limits) was 24% in 3Q18 (APRA requirement <30%)
•Interest only lending represented 37% of portfolio at 30 June 2018 (down from 40% at 31 March 2018)
•Investor lending growth, using APRA definition, 3.7% - comfortably below 10% cap
Regulatory
developments
•Estimated impact of model changes during 4Q18 from changes to operational risk model overlay and updates
to mortgage PD
3
models to add approximately $11.5bn in RWA, ~30bps reduction in CET1 ratio
•New consultation released from APRA on capital in 3Q18 on proposed changes to international comparability
•Further updates from APRA on proposals to the capital framework expected later in 2018
•AASB 9 applicable from 1 October 2018

Westpac Group 3Q18 Capital, Funding and Asset Quality Update
•Every 5bp movement in BBSW impacts Westpac’s margins by
around 1bp
•In 3Q18 margins declined by 11bps
‒5bps due to higher BBSW – which was up 24bps over 3Q18
‒4bps due to a lower Treasury contribution, principally due to less
opportunities in markets
‒2bps from all other factors. These included ongoing changes in
the mix of the mortgage portfolio (less interest only lending) along
with lower rates on new mortgages. These were partially offset
by some deposit repricing

Regulatory capital framework
•On 14 August 2018, APRA released their next capital paper –
Improving the transparency, comparability and flexibility of the ADI
1
capital framework
−None of the proposals under consideration would change the
level of capital ADIs are required to hold to meet the
unquestionably strong capital benchmarks
•Following the release in February 2018 – Revisions to the capital
framework for ADIs, ADIs including Westpac, have completed an
initial quantitative impact study (QIS), which will be used by APRA
to inform calibration of the changes
•APRA is intending to introduce a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%
from 1 July 2019
•Further updates from APRA are expected later in 2018
•Applicable for Westpac from 1 October 2018
•For regulatory capital purposes, the impact of potential credit losses
is captured through regulatory expected loss
•Significant buffer ($1.5bn) to absorb a rise in accounting provisions

Capital ratios
As defined by APRA (unless stated otherwise)
Committed
liquidity facility
(CLF)
The RBA makes available to Australian Authorised Deposit-taking
institutions a CLF that, subject to qualifying conditions, can be accessed
to meet LCR requirements under APS210 Liquidity
Internationally
comparable
ratios
Internationally comparable regulatory capital ratios are Westpac’s
estimated ratios after adjusting the capital ratios determined under APRA
Basel III regulations for various items. Analysis aligns with the APRA
study titled “International capital comparison study” dated 13 July 2015
Leverage ratio
As defined by APRA (unless stated otherwise). Tier 1 capital divided by
‘exposure measure’ and expressed as a percentage. ‘Exposure measure’
is the sum of on-balance sheet exposures, derivative exposures,
securities financing transaction exposures and other off-balance sheet
exposures
Liquidity
coverage ratio
(LCR)
An APRA requirement to maintain an adequate level of unencumbered
high quality liquid assets (HQLA), to meet liquidity needs for a 30 calendar
day period under an APRA-defined severe stress scenario. Absent a
situation of financial stress, the value of the LCR must not be less than
100%. LCR is calculated as the percentage ratio of stock of HQLA and
CLF over the total net cash out-flows in a modelled 30 day defined
stressed scenario
Net stable
funding ratio
(NSFR)
The NSFR is defined as the ratio of the amount of available stable funding
(ASF) to the amount of required stable funding (RSF) defined by APRA.
The amount of ASF is the portion of an ADI’s capital and liabilities
expected to be a reliable source of funds over a one year time horizon.
The amount of RSF is a function of the liquidity characteristics and
residual maturities of an ADI’s assets and off-balance sheet activities.
ADI’s must maintain an NSFR of at least 100%
Risk weighted
assets or RWA
Assets (both on and off-balance sheet) are risk weighted according to
each asset’s inherent potential for default and what the likely losses would
be in case of default. In the case of non-asset-backed risks (ie. market
and operational risk), RWA is determined by multiplying the capital
requirements for those risks by 12.5
Appendix 1: Definitions – Credit Quality
Westpac Group 3Q18 Capital, Funding and Credit Quality Update

Appendix and Disclaimer
Collectively
assessed
provisions
(CAP)
Loans not found to be individually impaired or significant will be collectively
assessed in pools of similar assets with similar risk characteristics. The size
of the provision is an estimate of the losses already incurred and will be
estimated on the basis of historical loss experience for assets with credit
characteristics similar to those in the collective pool. The historical loss
experience will be adjusted based on current observable data. Included in
the collectively assessed provision is an overlay provision which is
calculated based on changes that occurred in sectors of the economy or in
the economy as a whole
Impaired
assets
Includes exposures that have deteriorated to the point where full collection
of interest and principal is in doubt, based on an assessment of the
customer’s outlook, cash flow, and the net realisation of value of assets to
which recourse is held and includes:
•facilities 90 days or more past due, and full recovery is in doubt:
exposures where contractual payments are 90 or more days in arrears
and the net realisable value of assets to which recourse is held may not
be sufficient to allow full collection of interest and principal, including
overdrafts or other revolving facilities that remain continuously outside
approved limits by material amounts for 90 or more calendar days;
•non-accrual assets: exposures with individually assessed impairment
provisions held against them, excluding restructured loans;
•restructured assets: exposures where the original contractual terms
have been formally modified to provide for concessions of interest or
principal for reasons related to the financial difficulties of the customer;
•other assets acquired through security enforcement (includes other real
estate owned): includes the value of any other assets acquired as full
or partial settlement of outstanding obligations through the enforcement
of security arrangements; and
•any other assets where the full collection of interest and principal is in
doubt
Individually
assessed
provisions

Provisions raised for losses that have already been incurred on loans that
are known to be impaired and are assessed on an individual basis. The
estimated losses on these impaired loans is based on expected future cash
flows discounted to their present value and, as this discount unwinds,
interest will be recognised in the income statement

impaired and impaired assets

funds placement overall and deposits placed), contingent and pre-
settlement risk plus the committed portion of secondary market trading
and underwriting risk
Watchlist and

and financial difficulty but are not expected to incur loss of interest or
principal
90 days past due
and not impaired
Includes facilities where:
•contractual payments of interest and/or principal are 90 or more
calendar days overdue, including overdrafts or other revolving
facilities that remain continuously outside approved limits by
material amounts for 90 or more calendar days (including accounts
for customers who have been granted hardship assistance); or
•an order has been sought for the customer’s bankruptcy or similar
legal action has been instituted which may avoid or delay
repayment of its credit obligations; and
•the estimated net realisable value of assets / security to which
Westpac has recourse is sufficient to cover repayment of all
principal and interest, or where there are otherwise reasonable
grounds to expect payment in full and interest is being taken to
profit on an accrual basis
These facilities, while in default, are not treated as impaired for
accounting purposes

‘believe’, ‘aim’, or other similar words to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are
subject to change, certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are, in many instances, beyond our control, and have been made based upon management’s
expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon us. There can be no assurance that future developments will be
in accordance with our expectations or that the effect of future developments on us will be those anticipated. Actual results could differ materially from those which we expect,
depending on the outcome of various factors. Factors that may impact on the forward-looking statements made include, but are not limited to, those described in the section
