Considerations for 2H19
1 1% reduction is based on FY18 and FY19 expenses excluding provisions for remediation and wealth reset.
• Expect system credit growth to moderate
• Continued focus on return
• Margins: continued competition; lower interest rates; short term
funding costs
• Non -interest income will reflect impact of previously announced
wealth reset; general insurance claims elevated in 1H19
• Expenses targeting 1% reduction on FY18

, $400m in productivity
−Wealth reset costs in 2H19 ~$70m
• Credit quality: expected to remain in good shape, delinquencies to
reflect economic environment

In 1H19 and 2H18 the Group raised provisions in
relation to certain matters. These are known
throughout this document as “notable items” and
relate to the following:
Customer remediation
The Group booked provisions of $617 million
(after tax) in 1H19, $281 million in 2H18. The
majority of the provisions related to remediation
programs for:
• Certain ongoing
advice service fees
associated with the Group’s salaried financial
planners
• Certain ongoing advi
ce service fees charged
by the Group’s authorised representatives that
provided financial planning services under
Magnitude and Securitor brands
• Refunds for certain cu
stomers that had
interest only loans that did not automatically
switch, when required, to principal and interest
loans
• Refunds to certain business customers who
were provided with business loans where they
should have been provided with loans covered
by the National Consumer Credit Protection
Act
Resetting Wealth
In March 2019, the Group announced its decision
to reset its Wealth business. In 1H19, the Group
raised provisions for restructuring and transition
costs of $190 million (after tax $136 million)
Cash earnings and reported net profit reconciliation
Westpac Group 2019 Interim 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 page 154.

• 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 over 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 the Westpac Group believe do not reflect the Group’s
operating performance
−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

Westpac Group 2019 Interim Results Presentation & Investor Discussion Pack
Rebuilding trust is integral to our service strategy
The Royal Commission and other regulator and government-led inquiries have highlighted shortcomings in the financial services industry, including
in the management of non-financial risks, incentive models and treatment of customers.
Westpac has taken important lessons from the findings of these inquiries, and from our own assessments, including our Culture, Governance and
Accountability (CGA) self-assessment. These lessons can be categorised under three areas:
65
Conduct and governance
Westpac is committed to strengthening the business and restoring trust – change is underway
• More focus is needed to increase maturity in the management of non-financial risks to be consistent with financial
risks
• The underlying risks in the financial planning business were underestimated
• Some employee remuneration arrangements inadvertently contributed to poor behaviour
Non-financial risk
management
• The design and performance of our products did not always lead to appropriate outcomes for customers
• There was too much complexity in certain product sets
• Product design processes relied too heavily on manual intervention and wor
k-arounds
• Some errors could have been identified and remediated sooner
Product design,
performance, and
remediation
• Customer complaints were not sufficiently understood and analysed and, in many cases, they were not
dealt with promptly
• Insufficient care was taken for some customers in vulnerable situations
• There were too many long -outstanding complaints and insufficient escalation processes
• Customer feedback could have been better addressed

for those customers to access and undertake their banking;
• If a customer has difficulty proving their identity, and
identifies as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person,
the bank will follow AUSTRAC’s guidance about identification
and verification;
• Without prior express agreement with the customer, banks
wi
ll not allow informal overdrafts on basic accounts; and
• Banks will not charge dishonour fees on basic accounts.
• Ceased the paym

• We already follow AUSTRAC’s guidance through our Remote Account Opening
Policies and Procedures which provide flexibility and a number of options for the
verification of identity of Indigenous customers in remote communities
• Prevented informal overdrafts on Westpac's basic, fee-free account for recipients of

Distressed
agricultural
loans
When dealing with distressed agricultural loans, banks should:
ensure they are managed by experienced agricultural bankers;
offer farm debt mediation as soon as a loan is classified as
distressed; manage every distressed loan on the footing that
working out will be the best outcome for bank and borrower, and
enforcement the worst; recognise that appointment of receivers
is a remedy of last resort; and cease charging default interest
when no prospect of recovering debt
• Current process for managing stressed farm loans is consistent with

• Recognise that appointing receivers or an external administrator is a remedy of last

• Provide Disaster Relief Packages for cus

Culture, Governance and Accountability self -assessment
In 2018 Westpac completed a Culture, Governance and Accountability (CGA) self-assessment examining the Group’s risk culture, governance and
accountability frameworks and practices, and the impact on the management of non-financial risks
69
Conduct and governance
• Coordinated by a team of Westpac employees with external support from Oliver Wyman
• The self -a
ssessment process was subject to continuous assurance by Group Audit
• Took guidance from APRA and lessons from a CGA assessment completed by another Bank
• Provided to APRA and the Board is overseeing implementation of its recommendations
Key findings
Background to
self-assessment
Implementation of self-assessment recommendations is underway
As well as identifying a number of strengths across the Group, the self-assessment identified shortcomings and
proposed a series of recommendations and actions to address them. It highlighted that while Westpac’s culture,
governance and accountability settings in their totality generally support sound management of non-financial risks:
• Its management of non-financial risks was generally less mature than the management of financial risks and the
likely root cause of many of its non-financial risk-related issues; and
• There were a common set of behaviours across the Group, including: a lack of clarity on accountability and
consequences; and, at times, Westpac was too slow to identify, prioritise, escalate and remediate issues.
In addition, the self-assessment found that some of the Group’s strengths also created weaknesses. For example,
Westpac has a deep focus on financial risk, and although this is inherently positive, it has at times diluted a focus on
important non-financial risks.
Westpac was also assessed as having an analytical culture that is highly consultative. While this characteristic has its
benefits, it has at times slowed down decision making, created undue complexity and diluted accountability.

Westpac Group 2019 Interim Results Presentation & Investor Discussion Pack
Culture, Governance and Accountability self -assessment
action plan underway
The Group has commenced implementing the recommendations of the self-assessment with Group Executive sponsorship and Board oversight.
The work is focused on five key areas, which are set out below alongside some examples:
70
Conduct and governance
Enhance governance practices and elevate oversight of non-financial risks:
• Enhance reporting of key ri
sks to make appropriate assessments and improve resolution
• Enhance risk analysis of not progressing or delaying certain inv
estments

tanding issues
Board and executive
governance
Strengthen ‘three lines of defence’ and risk operating models:
• Enhance three lines of
defence model and better define roles/responsibilities of each line
• Standardise risk language and poli
cies, and strengthen accountability for issue closure
Risk and
compliance
Enhance processes to improve the customer experience:
• Aggregate complaints data across divisions to better identify the
root cause of issues
• Enhance reporting of long dated com
plaints
• Centralise customer complaint handli
ng
Customer
Update remuneration frameworks to better support conduct and avoid conflicts:
• Strengthen alignment of rem
uneration across the Group
• Review risk gates and adjustments in remuneration

investor feedback) to seek opportunities to better align to shareholder expectations
In addition to responses specific to recommendations of the Royal Commission and CGA self-assessment, a number of initiatives are underway
(several commenced prior to the establishment of these inquiries) to address root causes of issues, strengthen conduct, remove structures that may
lead to poor behaviour and drive better customer outcomes. These include:
Remuneration
• Established new Group-wi
de Consequence Management Framework in 2018, building on existing processes and
standards expected of employees and increasing consistency and transparency of the management of employee
conduct matters. Includes providing guidance about consequences for remuneration and employment
• Reinforcing executive responsibility and accountability under the BEAR regime − implemented in July 2018
• In 2018 completed implementation of ‘Motivate’, a new performance management framework that emphasises
behav
iours, culture and delivery against objectives
• Rolled out Group-wide employee program, ‘Navigate’, to bring to life Westpac’s values, Service Promise and Code of

circumstances and may include extending the loan or restructuring.

• Increase in mortgage delinquencies from higher NSW delinquencies (off a low base) as well as continued
weakness in WA
• A greater proportion of P&I loans in the portfolio is also contributing to a higher delinquency profile
• Increase also reflects slowing economic activity and lower market activity, leading to customers remaining in
collections for longer
• Seasoning of the RAMS portfolio also contributed, as these loans have a higher delinquency profile
• Properties in possession higher mostly in WA and Qld, reflecting both a higher volume and longer times to clear
properties

Lenders mortgage insurance arrangements
Westpac Group 2019 Interim Results Presentation & Investor Discussion Pack
1 Since 18 May 2015 WLMI has underwritten all mortgage insurance, where required, on Westpac originated Mortgages. The in-force portfolio of loans includes mortgage insurance provided by external providers. 2 Prudential Capital Requirement (PCR)
calculated in accordance with APRA standards. 3 Insured coverage is net of quota share. 4 Low doc loans no longer sold. Refers to arrangements in place for legacy products. 5 No WLMI coverage if the loan goes 90+ days in arrears in the first twelve
months and insurance via WLMI ceases once the loans is 8 years from origination (unless in a securitised pool) . 6 Loss ratio is claims over the total earned premium plus exchange commission. 7 LMI gross written premium includes loans >90% LVR
reinsured with Arch Reinsurance Limited. 1H19 gross written premium includes $52m from the arrangement (2H18: $61m and 1H18: $62m).

• Where mortgage insurance is required, mortgages
are insured through Westpac’s captive mortgage
insurer, Westpac Lenders Mortgage Insurance
1
(WLMI), and reinsured through external LMI
providers, based on risk profile
• WLMI is well capitalised (separate from bank
capital) and subject to APRA regulation. WLMI
targets a capitalisation ratio of 1.2x PCR

and has
consistently been above this target
• Scenarios indicate sufficient capital to fund claims
arising from events of severe stress – estimated

Mortgage portfolio stress testing outcomes
Westpac Group 2019 Interim Results Presentation & Investor Discussion Pack

Credit quality
Australian mortgage portfolio stress testing
1 Assumes 30% of LMI claims will be rejected in a stressed scenario. 2 Stress test outcomes for 30 September 2018 have been restated to reflect the implementation of AASB 9, improved portfolio data and general
model updates. 3 Represents 1H19 actual losses of $51m annualised. 4 Stressed loss rates are calculated as a percentage of average exposure at default (EAD).
• 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 here assumes
a severe recession in which 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 $4.9bn over three years for the uninsured portfolio
(FY18: $4.4bn)
− Cumulative claims on LMI, both WLMI and external insurers, of $1.0bn over the
three years (FY18: $1.0bn)
− Loss rates presented this half have increased from previously presented results
primarily due to further declines in house prices which lead to a higher dynamic
LVR starting point for the portfolio and from more granular information on the
RAMS portfolio
− The introduction of AASB 9 on 1 October 2018 sees accounting recognition of
losses recognised earlier in the stressed scenario compared to AASB 39
• In addition to Group stress testing, 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

• RWAs down $5.6bn, mostly in non-credit risk
• Credit RWA was little changed as business
grow
th, changes in credit quality and foreign
exchange movements were offset by the impact
of AASB 9 adoption
Risk weighted

• Minimal impact to the CET1 ratio (+2bps)
from AASB 9. No impact to CET1 ratio on
transition to AASB 15
• Lifted accounting impairment provisions by
$989m, reduced RWA by $3.9bn, and
increased stressed exposures
Impact of AASB 9
and AASB 15
Implementation
• CET1 ratio up 1bp from September 2018
• Organic capital growth of 27bps, off
set by

RBNZ capital proposals
Westpac Group 2019 Interim Results Presentation & Investor Discussion Pack
1 Internal ratings based. 2 This includes replacing an existing NZ$1.5 billion Additional Tier 1 instrument, which is issued to Westpac ,with an eligible form of Tier 1 capital.
In December 2018, the RBNZ released a paper
“Capital Review Paper 4: How much capital is
enough?” outlining its capital proposals for NZ
banks
The RBNZ proposed:
• A Tier 1 capital requirement of 16% for
sy
stematically important NZ banks, including
Westpac NZ (WNZL). This includes prudential
buffers totalling 10% of RWA
• Changes to RWA measurement for IRB
1
accredited banks like WNZL so that RWA
equates to approximately 90% of the
standardised approach (currently closer to
75%)
• The 16% requirement may be met with up to
1.5%
of non-redeemable preference shares
• Existing AT1 capital instruments will no longer
be el
igible as regulatory capital
• A five year transition period will apply
Cons
ultation closes on 17 May and the RBNZ has
indicated that final decisions are expected to be
communicated in the third quarter of 2019
Summary of proposals
109
WNZL’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 14.5% at 31
March 2019
Assuming WNZL had to achieve a minimum 16%
Tier 1 capital ratio under the RBNZ’s proposals,
WNZL would require a further $3.5 – $ 4.0bn of
Tier 1 capital if applied at 31 March 2019
2
Potential WNZL implications
Assuming a further $2.0 – $2.5bn
2
of Tier 1 capital
was retained or injected into WNZL, under current
APRA rules the potential capital implications for the
Group are:
• No change to Westpac Group’s reported Level 2
CE
T1 ratio as WNZL is consolidated at Level 2
• The Group’s Level 1 CET1 ratio would reduce
by
~20bps. The Level 1 CET1 ratio would be
10.5% on a pro forma basis at 31 March 2019
APRA consultation on APS222 (Association with
Related Entities) is currently underway. APRA is
proposing to reduce limits on the level of capital
and exposure to intra-group entities.
On a pro forma basis, exposure to WNZL is below
APRA’s currently proposed prudential limit of 25%
if applied at 31 March 2019
Final outcomes for the Group are dependent on
other capital consultations APRA currently has
open

CET1 and leverage ratios
Westpac Group 2019 Interim Results Presentation & Investor Discussion Pack
1 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 31
December 2018, except for ANZ, NAB and Westpac which are at 31 March 2019, (note NAB leverage ratio is as at 30 September 2018) and Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank, Royal Bank of Canada and Toronto Dominion are at 31 January 2019. 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.

APRA’s Basel III capital requirements are more conservative than those of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), lea ding 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.
The following details the adjustments from this study and how Westpac’s APRA Basel III CET1 capital ratio aligns to an internationally comparable ratio, the

• Overall portfolio health remains sound. Dairy
stressed exposures have been largely flat
since November 2018. Focus remains on
supporting existing dairy customers with
proven long-term viability
• Domestic milk production for 2018/19 is
expected to be up slightly on last season
following a record start. This is supporting
higher Global Dairy Trade auction prices and
lifts in 2018/19 forecast milk price
• Regulatory reform, increasing costs, and
disease issues (M. Bovis) continue to pose
challenges

Description

Net profit attributable to owners of Westpac Banking Corporation
Amortisation of
intangible assets
17 - -
Identifiable intangible assets arising from business acquisitions are amortised over their useful lives, ranging between
four and twenty years. This amortisation (excluding capitalised software) is a cash earnings adjustment because it is a
non- cash flow item and does not affect cash distributions available to shareholders. The last of these intangible assets
were fully amortised in December 2017
Fair value (gain)/loss
on economic hedges
37 (163) 126
Fair value on economic hedges (which do not qualify for hedge accounting under AAS) comprise:
• The unrealised fair value (gain)/loss on foreign exchange hedges of future New Zealand earnings impacting non-
int
erest income is reversed in deriving cash earnings as they may create a material timing difference on reported
results but do not affect the Group’s cash earnings over the life of the hedge; and
• The unrealised fair value (gain)/loss on hedges of accrual accounted term funding transactions are reversed in
deri
ving cash earnings as they may create a material timing difference on reported results but do not affect the
Group’s cash earnings over the life of the hedge
Ineffective hedges 9 4 (5)
The unrealised (gain)/loss on ineffective hedges is reversed in deriving cash earnings because the gain or loss arising
from the fair value movement in these hedges reverses over time and does not affect the Group’s profits over time
Adjustments related
to Pendal Group
(formerly BTIM)
- 73 4
Consistent with prior periods’ treatment, this item has been treated as a cash earnings adjustment given its size and
that it does not reflect ongoing operations. The Group has indicated that it may sell the remaining 10% shareholding in
Pendal Group Limited at some future date. From September 2018, this adjustment relates to the mark to market of the
shares and separation costs related to the original sell down. Any future gain or loss on this shareholding will similarly
be excluded from the calculation of cash earnings
Treasury shares (10) 3 (2)
Under AAS, Westpac shares held by the Group in the managed funds and life businesses are deemed to be Treasury
shares and the results of holding these shares can not be recognised in the reported results. In deriving cash earnings,
these results are included to ensure there is no asymmetrical impact on the Group’s profits because the Treasury
shares support policyholder liabilities and equity derivative transactions which are re-valued in determining income

approved limits by material amounts for 90 or more calendar days;
• non-accrual ass
ets: exposures with individually assessed impairment
provisions held against them, excluding restructured loans;

Provision for
expected credit
losses (ECL)
Expected credit losses (ECL) are a probability-weighted estimate of the cash
shortfalls expected to result from defaults over the relevant timeframe. They
are determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes and taking into
account the time value of money, past events, current conditions and future
economic conditions
Collectively
assessed
provisions
(CAPs)
Loans not found to be individually impaired or significant will be collectively
assessed in pools of similar assets with similar risk characteristics
Individually
assessed
provisions
(IAPs)
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
Stage 1: 12
months ECL –
performing
For financial assets where there has been no significant increase in credit
risk since origination a provision for 12 months expected credit losses is
recognised. Interest revenue is calculated on the gross carrying amount of
the financial asset
Stage 2:
Lifetime ECL –
performing
For financial assets where there has been a significant increase in credit risk
since origination but where the asset is still performing a provision for
lifetime expected losses is recognised. Interest revenue is calculated on the
gross carrying amount of the financial asset

Capital
Capital ratios
As defined by APRA (unless stated otherwise)
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
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
Liquidity
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
High quality
liquid assets
(HQLA)
Assets which meet APRA’s criteria for inclusion as HQLA in the numerator
of the LCR
Liquidity
coverage ratio
(LCR)
An APRA requirement to maintain an adequate level of unencumbered
high quality liquid assets, 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%,
effective 1 January 2015. 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%
