Westpac New Zealand sustainability performance (Unaudited)

2025 Sustainability Strategy. He rau ringa manaaki. Many hands working together.

We are taking action to create a better future for the people who bank with us,

work with us, invest in us or are part of our broader communities. We do this

through our core business, and more widely by using our financial and

economic expertise to generate positive economic, social and environmental

outcomes for our customers and New Zealand.

In April 2021 we launched our 2025 Strategy: He rau ringa manaaki – Many

hands working together. Our commitment is Manaaki te ao, manaaki te tāngata,

e tipu pūtea ora. Care for the planet, care for people and grow financial

wellbeing.

Sustainability Strategy results for the six months ended 31 March 2022

Manaaki te ao: Care for the planet.

We want to support Aotearoa’s transition to a resilient, net zero economy for

the benefit of all New Zealanders.

2025 targets*HY22 Progress

1.Reduce annual Scope 1, 2, and Scope 3 Mandatory

operational emissions by 30% against a 2019 base

year.

1

Offset remaining emissions to be carbon

neutral.

51% (see Key

climate risk

metrics)

2.Enable $10b in sustainable finance.

$5.68b

3.Manage our climate-related financial risks.Refer to Climate

Risk Update

Highlights for the six months ended 31 March 2022 include:

Structuring over $1.7b of sustainable debt including:

oExecuting New Zealand’s largest Sustainability-Linked Loan in the

agricultural sector, an $85m facility, encouraging Pāmu’s farmers to

improve all aspects of farm sustainability.

oSupporting Genesis Energy to be the first NZ borrower to have a

Sustainability-Linked Loan and Green Bond aligned to the globally

recognised Climate Transition Finance Handbook.

oPositioning The Warehouse Group to be the first NZ borrower to

have sustainable packaging and gender pay targets in its

Sustainability-Linked Loan.

oSupporting Christchurch City Holdings Limited to issue its $150m

inaugural Sustainability Bond, which was the first sustainability

bond offer to retail investors under an FMA exemption, paving the

way for future sustainability bonds under this exemption.

48% of our fleet is now electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Climate Risk Update

We released our second Climate Risk Report in November 2021. It is based on

the TCFD recommendations. During the six months ended 31 March 2022, our

effort has been focused on progressing a comprehensive assessment of

climate-related risks and opportunities for the agricultural sector.

Key climate risk metrics

Our operational carbon emissions reductions of 51% for the six months ended

31 December 2021 annualised against a 2019 base year are largely due to

COVID-19 border restrictions and domestic lockdowns reducing business travel

and business operations.

The approximate proportion of our lending portfolio secured by properties

exposed to heightened risks from sea-level rise (coastal flooding and erosion)

was relatively stable and within the range of normal portfolio fluctuation.

3

Lending to fossil fuel mining and production increased by 32% from financing a

gas-fired back-up power generator.

4

At the same time climate change solution

lending decreased marginally by 2%. While lending to green buildings

5

lifted,

exposure to renewable energy generation dropped.

6

Manaaki te tāngata: Care for people.

We want to help create thriving local communities and a workforce and society

where everyone feels valued.

2025 targets*HY22 Progress

4.Set a cultural diversity in leadership target.

7

Highlights for the six months ended 31 March 2022 include:

Published our third gender pay analysis. Our overall gender pay gap in

2021 is 28.5% vs 29.1% in 2020. This figure compares the pay of the

median male and median female at Westpac NZ, and includes base

salary, bonuses, overtime, miscellaneous payments and superannuation.

Helped first home buyers utilise the Kāinga Ora First Home Partner

Scheme for the first time, a shared equity scheme designed to bring home

ownership within reach for more New Zealanders.

E tipu pūtea ora: Grow financial wellbeing.

We want to enable all New Zealanders to be financially secure and

independent.

2025 targets*HY22 Progress

7.25,000 people to participate in Westpac

facilitated financial education workshops.

16,488

8.Help 15,000 New Zealanders who are at risk of

financial exploitation and exclusion.

3,112

9.Source 25% of annual supplier spend from local

businesses, including those owned by diverse

and under-represented groups.

17%

Highlights for the six months ended 31 March 2022 include:

Launched an online financial education workshop facilitator training for

staff, supporting new facilitators to be able to help communities

nationally. This will help us towards achieving target 7.

Rolled out the New Start Initiative nationally, helping prisoners near

release obtain a valid ID, debit card and online banking access, making

it easier for them to reintegrate into the community.

*Annual targets are to be achieved by 30 September 2025. Other targets are to be achieved during the period 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2025, unless stated otherwise.

1

Environmental Year runs 1 July to 30 June. CO

2

e results include all Westpac business units based in New Zealand. Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions

from the generation of purchased electricity. Scope 3 Mandatory covers the indirect emissions relevant to the day-to-day running of the business. These are sector specific, as defined by the Toitū net carbonzero

programme.

2

This is a cumulative target which comprises (a) $5b for lending to climate change solutions, $700m lending for healthy, affordable and social housing, and additional environmental, social, and sustainability-linked

lending (building on FY20 exposure), and (b) facilitation of sustainable bonds (for customers and Westpac New Zealand Limited Treasury) by Westpac Banking Corporation (acting through its New Zealand Branch). All

lending will meet the eligibility criteria set out in international sustainable finance principles. Our targets are a total commitment, measuring the cumulative flow of capital to support New Zealand becoming a net-zero

emissions economy.

3

Heightened risk is defined as annual exceedance probability of 10% or more, as well as general exposure to coastal erosion under NIWA’s Coastal Sensitivity Index.

4

As the borrowing entity’s main activity is fossil fuel extractions, this lending falls under this classification.

5

Green buildings are buildings which reduce environmental impacts and use resources efficiently through their design, construction or operation.

6

Shows the change in total committed exposure at 31 March 2022, compared to 30 September 2021.

7

Progress on this target has been delayed due to challenges in collecting sufficient employee data, with which to set appropriate targets in-line with best practice. Work to collect data is ongoing, with targets to be set

within the next 12-24 months.

8

Community investment is made up of: monetary contributions (charitable gifts, matched giving and community partnerships), time contributions, in-kind gifts and donations, and management costs. It excludes

commercial sponsorships.

9

This is a cumulative target (building on FY20 exposure) and includes Kiwibuild and shared equity (a form of shared home ownership, often between an individual and an organisation), as well as Westpac’s Warm Up

lending.

Notes to the financial statements
Westpac New Zealand Limited 11

Note 1 Financial statements preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Order and Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, as appropriate for for-

profit entities, and the New Zealand equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These financial statements are

also compliant with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

These financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial

statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 September 2021.

Accounting policies

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by applying fair value accounting to investment

securities and financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative financial instruments) measured at FVIS or FVOCI. The going concern

concept has been applied.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 19 May 2022.

All amounts in this Disclosure Statement are presented in New Zealand dollars and have been rounded to the nearest million dollars unless

otherwise stated.

Comparative information has been revised where appropriate to enhance comparability. Where there has been a material restatement of

comparative information the nature of, and the reason for, the restatement is disclosed in these financial statements.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with the financial statements for the year ended 30

September 2021.

Critical accounting assumptions and estimates

In preparing these financial statements, the application of the Banking Group's accounting policies require judgement, assumptions and estimates.

The areas of judgement, estimates and assumptions in these financial statements, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty, are

consistent with those in the Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 September 2021. Details on specific judgements in relation to the

calculation of provision for ECL including overlays are included in Note 7.

As at 31 March 2022, $5,907 million of residential mortgages, accrued interest (representing accrued interest on the outstanding residential

mortgages) and cash (representing collections of principal and interest from the underlying residential mortgages) were used by the Banking

Group to secure the obligations of WSNZL under the CB Programme (30 September 2021: $7,520 million). In addition, $2,513 million of residential

mortgages, accrued interest and cash has been pledged as collateral as part of the repurchase agreements with the Reserve Bank, under the

Funding for Lending Programme and Term Lending Facility (30 September 2021: $2,513 million). These pledged assets were not derecognised from

the Banking Group’s balance sheet in accordance with the accounting policies outlined in Note 1 to the financial statements included in the

Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 September 2021. As at 31 March 2022, the New Zealand dollar equivalent of bonds issued by WSNZL

under the CB Programme was $3,990 million (30 September 2021: $4,347 million) and the cash value of the repurchase agreements with the

Reserve Bank was $2,096 million (30 September 2021: $2,096 million).

Loans and credit commitments

Movements in components of loss allowance

The reconciliation of the provision for ECL for loans and credit commitments has been determined by an aggregation of monthly movements over

the period. The key line items in the reconciliation represent the following:

“Transfers between Stages” lines represent transfers between Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 prior to remeasurement of the provision for ECL.

“New financial assets originated” line represents new accounts originated during the period.

“Financial assets derecognised during the period” line represents loans derecognised due to final repayments during the period.

“Other charges/(credits) to the income statement” line represents the impact on the provision for ECL due to changes in credit quality

during the period (including transfers between stages), changes in portfolio overlays, changes due to forward-looking economic scenarios

and partial repayments and additional draw-downs on existing facilities over the period.

Amounts written off represent a reduction in the provision for ECL as a result of derecognition of exposures where there is no reasonable

expectation of full recovery.

Impact of overlays on the provision for ECL

The following table attributes the provision for ECL between modelled ECL and portfolio overlays.

Portfolio overlays are used to capture risk of increased uncertainty relating to forward-looking economic conditions, or areas of potential risk and

uncertainty in the portfolio, that are not captured in the underlying modelled ECL.

Note 7 Provision for expected credit losses (continued)

Modelled provision for ECL

The modelled provision for ECL is a probability weighted estimate based on three scenarios which together represent the Banking Group’s view of

the forward-looking distribution of potential loss outcomes. The changes in provisions as a result of changes in modelled ECL are reflected

through the “Other charges/(credits) to the income statement” line in the “Movements in components of loss allowance” table. Portfolio overlays

are used to capture potential risk and uncertainty in the portfolio, that are not captured in the underlying modelled ECL.

The base case scenario uses Westpac Economics’ forecasts as at 31 March 2022. Those forecasts allow for a recovery in activity as restrictions

related to COVID-19 are eased. The forecasts also allow for a rise in the Official Cash Rate and related easing in demand over time, including in the

housing market.

The Banking Group's forecasts assume the following:

Key macroeconomic assumptions

Annual GDPForecast growth of 5.5% over the next 12 months.Forecasted growth of 10.9% over the next 12 months.

Residential property pricesForecast growth to fall to 0.4% by the end of

financial year 2022 and contraction of 5.2% by the

end of financial year 2023.

Forecasted growth to peak at 26% during the

financial year and then fall to 1.6% at September

2022.

Cash rateIncrease of 150 bps expected over the next 12

months.

Increase of 100 bps expected over the next 12

months.

Unemployment rateForecast to further decrease to 3% during the

financial year 2022.

Forecast to peak at 4.2% in December 2021 then ease

to 3.5% by September 2022.

The downside scenario is a more severe scenario with ECL higher than the base case scenario. The more severe loss outcome for the downside is

generated under a recession scenario in which the combination of negative GDP growth, declines in residential property prices and an increase in

the unemployment rate simultaneously impact ECL across all portfolios from the reporting date. The assumptions in this scenario and relativities

to the base case scenario will be monitored having regard to the emerging economic conditions and updated where necessary. The upside

scenario represents a modest improvement to the base case.

The decline in provision for loans and credit commitments in the period ending 31 March 2022 was primarily due to a more positive forward-

looking economic forecast, improved portfolio performance including a decline in some higher risk exposures and a partial write-off of a single

named exposure.

The following sensitivity table shows the reported provision for ECL based on the probability weighted scenarios and what the provision for ECL

would be assuming a 100% weighting is applied to the base case scenario and to the downside scenario (with all other assumptions, including

customer risk grades, held constant).

Note 7 Provision for expected credit losses (continued)

If 1% of the Stage 1 gross exposure from loans and credit commitments (calculated on a 12 month ECL) was reflected in Stage 2 (calculated on a

lifetime ECL) the provision for ECL would increase by $58 million (30 September 2021: $57 million) based on applying the average provision

coverage ratios by stage to the movement in the gross exposure by stage.

The following table indicates the weightings applied by the Banking Group as at 31 March 2022 and 30 September 2021.

THE BANKING GROUP

31 Mar 2230 Sep 21

Economic scenario weightings (%)UnauditedAudited

Upside55

Base5055

Downside4540

The increase in weighting to the downside reflects an elevated level of uncertainty in potential credit losses driven by new geopolitical and

economic headwinds, supply chain disruptions, capacity constraints and rising inflation.

Portfolio Overlays

Portfolio overlays are used to address areas of risk, including significant uncertainty that are not captured in the underlying modelled ECL.

Determination of portfolio overlays requires expert judgement and is thoroughly documented and subject to comprehensive internal governance

and oversight. Overlays are reassessed and if the risk is judged to have dissipated or is subsequently captured in the underlying modelled ECL the

overlay will be released or remeasured.

The Banking Group’s total overlays at 31 March 2022 were $84 million (30 September 2021: $77 million), of which $81 million (30 September 2021:

$74 million) relates to COVID-19 impacts; and $3 million (30 September 2021: $3 million) relates to overlays for other risks.

COVID-19 overlays

Business lending (including institutional)

An overlay was retained at 31 March 2022 to reflect the risk that some businesses may have been protected from default or stress because of

COVID-19 related support packages and government stimulus and the continued likelihood that those losses have still been suppressed. This

overlay was included in stage 1 and stage 2. As at 31 March 2022, the COVID-19 overlay for business lending (including institutional) is $28 million

for the Banking Group (30 September 2021: $28 million).

Retail lending

An overlay was retained at 31 March 2022 to reflect the ongoing risk associated with customers who received retail deferral packages. It has been

resized at 31 March 2022 due to the uncertainty around the impact of recent COVID-19 restrictions and unemployment risk, increasing the

likelihood for temporarily suppressing losses. In addition, a further overlay was retained at 31 March 2022 to reflect the flow-on impact to the retail

portfolio from the delayed business losses and unemployment risk. The quantum of this overlay remains unchanged from 30 September 2021.

These two retail overlays are included in stage 1 and stage 2. As at 31 March 2022, the COVID-19 overlays for retail lending are $53 million for the

Banking Group (30 September 2021: $46 million).

Note 7 Provision for expected credit losses (continued)

Impact of changes in credit exposures on the provision for ECL

Stage 1 credit exposures had a net increase of $2.4 billion (30 September 2021: increased by $3.8 billion) for the Banking Group, primarily

driven by increases in residential mortgages and corporate portfolios, due to new lending in this financial year and movement in exposures

from stage 2 to stage 1 from improved portfolio performance. The increase is partially offset by derecognitions and repayments. Stage 1 ECL

has decreased mainly due to a more positive macro-economic outlook as at 31 March 2022 compared to 30 September 2021.

Stage 2 credit exposures decreased by $1.1 billion (30 September 2021: increased by $810 million) for the Banking Group, mainly driven by an

improved portfolio performance and derecognitions. Stage 2 ECL has decreased mainly due to improved portfolio performance and a more

positive macro-economic outlook as at 31 March 2022 compared to 30 September 2021.

Stage 3 credit exposures had a net decrease of $7 million (30 September 2021: decreased by $92 million) for the Banking Group driven by

reductions in 90 days past due exposures in residential mortgages and other retail, and write-offs from the corporate portfolio. This decrease

is partially offset by an increase in high-risk exposures from the corporate portfolio. Stage 3 ECL has decreased in line with the decrease in

stage 3 exposures.

On 21 February 2022, the Bank declared and paid a dividend of $465 million to its immediate parent company, Westpac New Zealand Group Limited.

On 28 February 2022, the sale of Westpac Life (renamed Fidelity Insurance Limited on 28 February 2022) to Fidelity Life was completed, at which point

Westpac Life ceased to be a subsidiary of the Ultimate Parent Bank and a related entity of the Banking Group.

Note 11 Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities

Fair Valuation Control Framework

The Banking Group uses a Fair Valuation Control Framework where the fair value is either determined or validated by a function independent of the

transaction. This framework formalises the policies and procedures used to achieve compliance with relevant accounting, industry and regulatory

standards. The framework includes specific controls relating to:

the revaluation of financial instruments;

independent price verification;

fair value adjustments; and

financial reporting.

A key element of the framework is the Revaluation Committee, comprising senior valuation specialists from within the Ultimate Parent Bank Group.

The Revaluation Committee reviews the application of the agreed policies and procedures to assess that a fair value measurement basis has been

applied.

The method of determining fair value differs depending on the information available.

Fair value hierarchy

A financial instrument’s categorisation within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value

measurement.

The Banking Group categorises all fair value instruments according to the hierarchy described below.

Valuation techniques

The Banking Group applies market accepted valuation techniques in determining the fair valuation of over-the-counter derivatives. This includes

credit valuation adjustments and funding valuation adjustments, which incorporate credit risk and funding costs and benefits that arise in relation to

uncollateralised derivative positions, respectively.

The specific valuation techniques, the observability of the inputs used in valuation models and the subsequent classification for each significant

product category are outlined as follows:

Financial instruments measured at fair value

Level 1 instruments

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on recent unadjusted quoted prices. These prices are based on actual arm’s

length basis transactions.

The valuations of Level 1 instruments require little or no management judgement.

InstrumentBalance sheet categoryIncludesValuation

Debt instrumentsTrading securities and

financial assets measured at

FVIS

Investment securities

New Zealand

Government bonds

These instruments are traded in liquid, active markets where

prices are readily observable. No modelling or assumptions are

used in the valuation.

Level 2 instruments

The fair value for financial instruments that are not actively traded is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable

market prices. Valuation techniques include:

– the use of market standard discounting methodologies;

– option pricing models; and

– other valuation techniques widely used and accepted by market participants.

Level 3 instruments

Financial instruments valued where at least one input that could have a significant effect on the instrument’s valuation is not based on observable

market data due to illiquidity or complexity of the product. These inputs are generally derived and extrapolated from other relevant market data and

calibrated against current market trends and historical transactions.

These valuations are calculated using a high degree of management judgement.

As at 31 March 2022, the Banking Group has no financial instruments valued under this category (30 September 2021: nil).

Contingent assets

The credit commitments shown in the table above also constitute contingent assets. These commitments would be classified as loans on the balance

Contingent liabilities

The Banking Group is reviewing its processes for some products relating to the requirements of the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act

2003. The outcome of this complex review is uncertain and could result in customer remediation, regulatory action, litigation and reputational

damage.

All potential claims and other liabilities are assessed on a case-by-case basis. A provision will be recognised where the Banking Group has

conducted an assessment which determines the likelihood of loss as probable and where its potential loss can be reliably estimated. A contingent

liability exists in respect of actual or potential claims where the likely loss is not assessed as probable, where the law is uncertain or, in rare

circumstances, where the outflow of resources is probable but cannot be reliably estimated.

Note 13 Segment reporting

The Banking Group’s segment reporting incorporates Consumer Banking and Wealth, Institutional and Business Banking, and Investments and

Insurance sectors within New Zealand. On this basis, no geographical segment reporting is provided.

The operating segment results have been presented on a management reporting basis and consequently internal charges and transfer pricing

adjustments have been reflected in the performance of each operating segment. Intersegment pricing is determined on a cost recovery basis.

The Banking Group does not rely on any single major customer for its revenue base.

On 28 February 2022, the sale of Westpac Life to Fidelity Life was completed. As such, from 1 March 2022, the Investments and Insurance segment

no longer provides insurance services.

Operating segments are defined by the customers they serve and the services they provide. The Banking Group has identified the following main

operating segments:

Consumer Banking and Wealth provides financial services predominantly for individuals;

Institutional and Business Banking provides a broad range of financial services for commercial, corporate, property finance, agricultural,

institutional and government customers; and

Investments and Insurance provided funds management and insurance services until 28 February 2022. From 1 March 2022, it only provides funds

management services.

Reconciling items primarily represent:

business units that do not meet the definition of operating segments under NZ IFRS 8 Operating Segments;

elimination entries on consolidation of the results, assets and liabilities of the Banking Group’s controlled entities in the preparation of the

consolidated financial statements of the Banking Group;

results of certain entities included for management reporting purposes including insurance and investments, but excluded from the consolidated

financial statements of the Banking Group for statutory financial reporting purposes; and

results of certain business units excluded for management reporting purposes, but included within the consolidated financial statements of the

Banking Group for statutory financial reporting purposes.

Other material matters

Reports required under section 95 of the RBNZ Act

On 23 March 2021, the Reserve Bank issued two notices to the Bank under section 95 of the RBNZ Act requiring the Bank to supply two external

reviews to the Reserve Bank (the ‘Risk Governance Review’ and the ‘Liquidity Review’).

The Risk Governance Review related to the effectiveness of the Bank’s risk governance, with a focus on the role played by the Bank Board. This

review was undertaken by Oliver Wyman Limited and completed in November 2021. The review identified deficiencies in the Bank’s risk governance

practices and operations which impacted the Bank Board’s effectiveness in governing risk. These deficiencies are likely to have contributed to issues

of non-compliance with some of the Bank’s Conditions of Registration, and technology resiliency issues. The Bank has a programme of work

underway to address the issues raised, which is being overseen by the Bank’s Board. The Bank has engaged Oliver Wyman Limited to provide

independent assurance that the Bank’s remediation has been delivered to an appropriate standard.

The Liquidity Review related to the effectiveness of the Bank’s actions to improve liquidity risk management and the associated risk culture. This

followed previously identified breaches of the Reserve Bank’s Liquidity Policy (BS13) and non-compliances with Condition of Registration 14 identified

through the Reserve Bank’s liquidity thematic review (which the Reserve Bank subsequently concluded constituted non-compliance with condition

of registration 14 in a material respect, when considered collectively). This review was undertaken by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (Deloitte) and

completed in May 2022. The review: found that the Bank had improved its liquidity control environment; did not identify any material control gaps or

issues; and made some recommendations for improvement, which will be implemented as part of the Bank’s continuous improvement activity. The

review also found that the Bank had made improvements to its associated risk culture.

From 31 March 2021, the Reserve Bank amended the Bank’s conditions of registration, requiring the Bank to discount the value of its liquid assets by

approximately 14% which at 31 March 2022 was $3.1 billion. This overlay will apply until the Reserve Bank is satisfied that:

the Reserve Bank’s concerns regarding liquidity risk controls have been resolved; and

sufficient progress has been made to address risk culture issues in the Bank’s Treasury and Market and Liquidity Risk functions.

Commitments to regulators

Separate to the section 95 reviews, the Bank has also committed to:

the Reserve Bank and FMA to address its technology issues, and has engaged Deloitte to monitor progress; and

review the programme delivery plan for compliance with the Reserve Bank’s Outsourcing Policy.

While work has been underway to address these areas for some time, more work is required to meet the Bank’s expectations and those of the

regulators.

Deposit Takers Bill

A Deposit Takers Bill is expected to be introduced to the House of Parliament in 2022 that will create a single regulatory regime for banks and non-

bank deposit takers and introduce a depositor compensation scheme to protect up to $100,000 per eligible depositor, per institution, if a payout

event is triggered. Consultation on an exposure draft of the legislation closed on 21 February 2022. Initial implementation of the depositor

compensation scheme is expected in early 2024.

Contractual maturity of financial liabilities

The following table presents cash flows associated with financial liabilities, payable at the balance sheet date, by remaining contractual maturity. The

amounts disclosed in the table are the future contractual undiscounted cash flows, whereas the Banking Group manages inherent liquidity risk based on

expected cash flows.

Cash flows associated with these financial liabilities include both principal payments, as well as fixed or variable interest payments incorporated into the

relevant coupon period. Principal payments reflect the earliest contractual maturity date. Derivative financial instruments designated for hedging

purposes are expected to be held for their remaining contractual lives, and reflect gross cash flows over the remaining contractual term.

Derivatives held for trading and certain liabilities classified in “Other financial liabilities” which are measured at FVIS are not managed for liquidity

purposes on the basis of their contractual maturity, and accordingly these liabilities are presented in either the on demand or up to 1 month columns.

Only the liabilities that the Banking Group manages based on their contractual maturity are presented on a contractual undiscounted basis in the

following table.

Capital structure

Ordinary shares

In accordance with the Reserve Bank BPRs, ordinary share capital is classified as Common Equity Tier 1 capital.

The ordinary shares have no par value. Subject to the constitution of the Bank, each ordinary share of the Bank carries the right to one vote on a poll

at meetings of shareholders, the right to an equal share in dividends authorised by the Board and the right to an equal share in the distribution of the

surplus assets of the Bank in the event of liquidation.

Additional Tier 1 loan capital (AT1)

22 September 2017NZ Branch of the

Ultimate Parent Bank

NZ 90 day bank bill rate + 3.9594% p.a.21 September 2027 and every fifth

anniversary thereafter

1


The AT1 notes were issued by the Bank and rank equally amongst themselves and are subordinated to the claims of depositors and senior or less subordinated creditors

of the Bank.

In accordance with the Reserve Bank BPRs, the Bank’s Additional Tier 1 instrument is subject to a transitional phase-out from 1 January 2022. In line

with the transitional phase-out schedule contained in BPR110, 87.5% of the total nominal value of the Bank’s Additional Tier 1 instrument will be

recognised as regulatory capital between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022.

Interest payable

Quarterly interest payments on the AT1 notes are at the absolute discretion of the Bank and will only be paid if the payment conditions are satisfied,

including that the interest payment will not result in the Bank becoming insolvent immediately following the interest payment; not result in a breach of

the Reserve Bank Prudential Standards; and the payment date not falling on the date of a capital trigger event or non-viability trigger event. Interest

payments are non-cumulative. If interest is not paid in full, the Bank may not determine or pay any dividends on its ordinary shares or undertake a

discretionary buy back or capital reduction of the Bank’s ordinary shares (except in limited circumstances).

Redemption

The Bank may elect to redeem all or some of the AT1 notes for their face value on 21 September 2027 and every fifth anniversary thereafter, subject to

the Reserve Bank’s prior written approval. Early redemption of all of the AT1 notes for certain tax or regulatory reasons is permitted subject to the

Reserve Bank’s prior written approval.

Conversion

If a capital trigger event or non-viability trigger event occurs, the Bank must convert some or all of the AT1 notes into a variable number of ordinary

shares issued by the Bank (calculated with reference to the net assets of the Bank and the total number of ordinary shares on issue at the conversion

date) that is sufficient, in the case of a capital trigger event, to return the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio to above 5.125% as determined by

the Bank in consultation with the Reserve Bank; or, in the case of a non-viability trigger event, to satisfy the direction of the Reserve Bank or the

decision of the statutory manager of the Bank. A capital trigger event occurs when the Bank determines, or the Reserve Bank notifies in writing that it

believes, the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio is equal to or less than 5.125%. A non-viability trigger event occurs when the Reserve Bank or

the statutory manager (appointed pursuant to section 117 of the Reserve Bank Act) directs the Bank to convert or write off all or some of its AT1 notes.

If conversion of the AT1 notes does not occur within five business days of a capital trigger event or a non-viability trigger event, holders’ rights in

relation to the AT1 notes will be immediately and irrevocably terminated.

The Bank is able to elect to convert all the AT1 notes for certain tax or regulatory reasons (or in certain other circumstances).

of the Bank.

In accordance with the Reserve Bank BPRs, the Bank’s Tier 2 instrument is subject to a transitional phase-out from 1 January 2022. In line with the

transitional phase-out schedule contained in BPR110, 87.5% of the total nominal value of the Bank’s Tier 2 instrument will be recognised as

regulatory capital between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022. Additionally, the Bank’s Tier 2 instrument is subject to a straight-line amortisation

at a rate of 20% per annum commencing 22 March 2022 as the instrument is within four years of its maturity date of 22 March 2026.

Interest payable

Interest payments on the Tier 2 notes are subject to the Bank being solvent at the time of, and immediately following the interest payment.

Early redemption

The Bank did not elect to redeem all or some of the Tier 2 notes for their face value together with accrued interest (if any) on 22 March 2021 (the first

optional redemption date) or any subsequent quarterly optional redemption date. The Bank may elect to redeem all or some of the Tier 2 notes for

their face value together with accrued interest (if any) on any interest payment date thereafter, subject to the Reserve Bank’s prior written approval.

Early redemption of all of the Tier 2 notes for certain tax or regulatory reasons is permitted on an interest payment date subject to the Reserve Bank’s

prior written approval.

Conversion

If a non-viability trigger event occurs, the Bank must convert such number of the Tier 2 notes into a variable number of ordinary shares issued by the

Bank (calculated with reference to the net assets of the Bank and the total number of ordinary shares on issue on the conversion date) that is sufficient

to satisfy the direction of the Reserve Bank or the decision of the statutory manager. A non-viability trigger event occurs when the Reserve Bank or the

statutory manager (appointed pursuant to section 117 of the Reserve Bank Act) directs the Bank to convert or write off all or some of its Tier 2 notes. If

conversion of the Tier 2 notes fails to take effect within five business days, holders’ rights in relation to the Tier 2 notes will be immediately and

irrevocably terminated.

Reserves

Investment securities reserve

This comprises the changes in the fair value of debt securities measured at FVOCI (except for interest income, impairment charges and FX gains and

losses which are recognised in the income statement), net of any related hedge accounting adjustments and tax. These changes are transferred to

non-interest income in the income statement when the asset is disposed.

Cash flow hedge reserve

This comprises the fair value gains and losses associated with the effective portion of designated cash flow hedging instruments, net of tax.

Additional mortgage information

Residential mortgages by LVR as at 31 March 2022

LVRs are calculated as the current exposure divided by the Banking Group’s valuation of the associated residential property at origination.

The Banking Group utilises data from its loan system to obtain origination valuations. For loans originated prior to 1 January 2008, or those

originated outside of the loan system, the origination valuation is not recorded in the system and is therefore, due to system limitations, not

available for disclosure. For these loans, the Banking Group utilises the earliest valuation recorded as the closest available alternative to estimate

an origination valuation.

Exposures for which no LVR is available have been included in the ‘Exceeds 90%’ category in accordance with the requirements of the Order.

Credit risk mitigation

The Banking Group uses a variety of techniques to reduce the credit risk arising from its lending activities (refer to Note 31.2.2 to the financial

statements included in the Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 September 2021 for further details). This includes the Banking Group

establishing that it has direct, irrevocable and unconditional recourse to collateral and other credit enhancements through obtaining legally

enforceable documentation.

The Banking Group includes the effect of credit risk mitigation through eligible guarantees within the calculation applied to LGD. Due to system

limitations, the value of the guarantee is not always separately recorded, and therefore, neither this value nor a close alternative is available for

disclosure, under Clause 7 of Schedule 11 to the Order. The Banking Group does not apply any credit risk mitigation from credit derivatives as at 31 March

2022.

Definitions of PD, LGD and EAD

Probability of default

The PD is a through-the-cycle assessment of the likelihood of a customer defaulting on its financial obligations within one year.

Loss given default

The LGD represents an estimate of the expected severity of a loss to the Banking Group should a customer default occur during an economic

downturn.

Exposure at default

EAD represents an estimate of the amount of committed exposure expected to be drawn by the customer at the time of default.

Application of Standardised Floor to Total Credit Risk RWA

Between 1 January 2022 and 30 September 2022, BPR130 requires IRB Banks to calculate total credit risk RWA as the sum of:

The greater of:

1.06 x total RWA subject to the IRB RWA treatment (as shown in the table in the section Credit risk subject to the IRB approach on

page 41); and

0.85 x total Standardised Equivalent RWA for each credit risk exposure subject to the IRB RWA treatment (commonly referred to

as the standardised floor); and

1.06 x total RWA subject to the Standardised RWA treatment.

The following table shows the output from these calculations, and the resulting total credit risk RWA used in the calculation of the Bank and the

Banking Group’s total capital requirements and capital ratios as at 31 March 2022.

During the reporting period, the Bank was not fully compliant with operational risk capital model governance and scenario financial estimate

requirements set out in Part B of BPR151 (previously BS2B). Remediation activity is ongoing which includes the Bank’s transition to the Reserve

Bank’s standardised approach for operational risk capital (BPR150). A capital overlay for operational risk implemented during the previous

reporting period, remains. This previous capital overlay has been adjusted from $29 million to $30 million to reflect minor changes in FX spot

rates.

Market risk

The Banking Group’s aggregate market risk exposure is derived in accordance with BPR140 and is calculated on a monthly basis. The end-of-period

aggregate market risk exposure is calculated from the period end balance sheet information.

For each category of market risk, the Banking Group’s peak end-of-day aggregate capital charge is derived by determining the maximum over the

six months ended 31 March 2022 of the aggregate capital charge for that category of market risk derived in accordance with BPR140.

The following table provides a summary of the Banking Group’s notional capital charges by risk type as at the reporting date and the peak end-of-

represents the capital adequacy calculation based on the Reserve Bank BPRs.

Due to changes in BPRs effective from 1 January 2022, the ratios for the Banking Group at 31 March 2022 are not comparable to 31 March 2021. As at 1

January 2022, the RWA of counterparties in the Bank and Sovereign asset classes are calculated under a standardised approach and the modelled

exposures for IRB banks have had a floor of 85% of the requirement under a standardised approach applied. In addition, existing capital instruments

that have conversion features are no longer fully eligible as capital with 87.5% of the total nominal value of affected instruments recognised as

regulatory capital between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022. As at 31 March 2022, only 80% of the total nominal value of the Bank's Tier 2

instrument is being recognised as regulatory capital because the instrument is within four years of its maturity date and the amount of the

instrument that may be recognised in capital ratio calculations during the final four years to maturity must be amortised on a straight-line basis at a

rate of 20% per annum.

For the purposes of calculating the capital adequacy ratios for the Bank on a solo basis, a subsidiary that is not a securitisation SPV must be

consolidated with the Bank if it is a wholly-owned and wholly-funded subsidiary of the Banking Group. In this context, wholly-funded by the Bank

means there are no liabilities (including off-balance sheet obligations) to anyone other than the Bank, the Inland Revenue or trade creditors, where

aggregate exposure to trade creditors does not exceed the greater of 5% of the subsidiary’s shareholder’s equity and 1% of the subsidiary’s total

assets. Wholly-owned by the Bank means that all equity issued by the subsidiary is held by the Bank or is ultimately owned by the Bank through a

chain of ownership where each entity is 100% owned by its parent. An SPV must be consolidated with the Bank if it is required to be consolidated with

the Banking Group under the New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and is a covered bond SPV, or an internal RMBS SPV, that is, an

SPV that is set up to securitise residential mortgage loans originated by the Bank and is funded exclusively by the Bank. As at 31 March 2022, the Bank’s

two SPVs have been consolidated in accordance with the Reserve Bank’s new Prudential Requirements for the purposes of calculating solo capital. The

Bank’s ratios at 31 March 2022 are not comparable to 31 March 2021, as the calculation requirements at 31 March 2021 did not include the consolidation

of the Bank’s two SPVs.

Capital for other material risks

The Banking Group’s internal capital adequacy assessment process identifies, reviews and measures additional material risks that must be captured

within the Banking Group’s capital adequacy assessment process. The additional material risks considered are those not captured by Pillar 1 regulatory

capital requirements and include compliance and conduct risk, liquidity risk, reputational risk, sustainability risk, financial crime risk, model risk,

deferred acquisition cost risk, strategic risk, subsidiary risk and cyber risk.

The Banking Group’s internal capital allocation for ‘other material risks’ is $335 million as at 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: $289 million).

Ultimate Parent Bank Group Basel III capital adequacy ratios

The capital ratios represent information mandated by APRA. The capital ratios of the Ultimate Parent Bank Group are publicly available in the Ultimate Parent Bank

Group’s Pillar 3 report. This information is made available to users via the Ultimate Parent Bank’s website (www.westpac.com.au).

2

Ultimate Parent Bank Group (excluding entities specifically excluded by APRA regulations) comprises the consolidation of the Ultimate Parent Bank and its subsidiary

entities except those entities specifically excluded by APRA regulations for the purposes of measuring capital adequacy (Level 2). The head of the Level 2 group is the

Ultimate Parent Bank.

3

Ultimate Parent Bank (Extended Licensed Entity) comprises the Ultimate Parent Bank and its subsidiary entities that have been approved by APRA as being part of a

single ELE for the purposes of measuring capital adequacy (Level 1).

Under APRA’s Prudential Standards, Australian Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions, including the Ultimate Parent Bank Group and the Ultimate

Parent Bank are required to maintain minimum ratios of capital to risk weighted assets, as determined by APRA, which are at least equal to that

specified under the Basel III capital framework. For the calculation of risk weighted assets, the Ultimate Parent Bank Group and the Ultimate Parent

Bank are accredited by APRA to apply advanced models permitted by the Basel III global capital adequacy regime. The Ultimate Parent Bank Group and

the Ultimate Parent Bank use the Advanced Internal Ratings Based approach for credit risk, the Standardised Measurement Approach for operational

risk and the internal model approach for interest rate risk in the banking book for calculating regulatory capital.

APRA’s prudential standards are generally consistent with the International Regulatory Framework for Banks, also known as Basel III, issued by the

BCBS, except where APRA has exercised certain discretions.

The Ultimate Parent Bank Group is required to disclose additional detailed information on its risk management practices and capital adequacy on a

quarterly basis. This information is made available to users via the Ultimate Parent Bank’s website (www.westpac.com.au),

The Ultimate Parent Bank Group (excluding entities specifically excluded by APRA regulations), and the Ultimate Parent Bank (Extended Licensed Entity

as defined by APRA), exceeded the minimum capital adequacy requirements as specified by APRA as at 31 March 2022.

Regulatory liquidity ratios

The Bank calculates liquidity ratios in accordance with BS13. Ratios are calculated daily and are part of the Bank’s management of liquidity risk.

Quarterly average ratios are produced in line with the Reserve Bank rules and guidance, noting the matters described below.

Since February 2021, the Bank has identified matters of non-compliance with BS13. Refer to the Conditions of Registration section on page 51 for

further details. The Bank continues to work through the remediation of these matters, with some fully remediated. Matters of non-compliance

identified include two matters reported in the Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 September 2021, being a coding error in the BS13 liquidity

model which impacted the aggregation of customer deposits and the treatment of lending due to be drawn down where the draw down date and

the principal amount are certain, and one new matter regarding the treatment of cash inflows for loans considered delinquent. For these three

matters, the Bank has adjusted the one-week and one-month mismatch ratios in the table above for the impacts of non-compliance on the affected

periods. The impact of these adjustments reduced the one-week mismatch ratio by 0.6% and one-month mismatch ratio by 0.7% for the quarter

ended 31 December 2021, and the one-week and one-month mismatch ratios by 0.3% for the quarter ended 31 March 2022.

Further, with effect from 31 March 2021, the Reserve Bank amended the Bank’s conditions of registration to apply an overlay to the Bank's mismatch

ratios which will remain in place until the Reserve Bank is satisfied that its concerns regarding liquidity risk controls have been resolved and

sufficient progress has been made to address the risk culture issues. The overlay is specified by the Reserve Bank as a requirement to discount the

value of the Bank’s liquid assets by approximately 14% which at 31 March 2022 was $3.1 billion. Refer to Other material matters on page 28 for further

detail.

v. Concentration of credit exposures to individual counterparties

The following credit exposures are based on actual credit exposures to individual counterparties and groups of closely related counterparties.

The number of individual bank and non-bank counterparties to which the Banking Group has an aggregate credit exposure or peak end-of-day aggregate

credit exposure that equals or exceeds 10% of the Banking Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital:

A counterparty is a bank counterparty if it is a bank that is not a member of a group of closely related counterparties or it is a group of closely related counterparties

of which a bank is the parent.

2

A counterparty is a non-bank counterparty if it is a non-bank that is not a member of a group of closely related counterparties or it is a group of closely related

counterparties of which a bank is not the parent.

There were no individual bank or non-bank counterparties with aggregate credit exposure that equals or exceeds 10% of the Banking Group’s Common Equity Tier 1

capital and with a long-term credit rating of less than A- or A3, or its equivalent, or unrated.

The peak end-of-day aggregate credit exposure to each individual counterparty (which are not members of a group of closely related

counterparties) or a group of closely related counterparties has been calculated by determining the maximum end-of-day aggregate amount of

actual credit exposure over the relevant six-month period, and then dividing that amount by the Banking Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital as at

31 March 2022.

Credit exposures to individual counterparties (not being members of a group of closely related counterparties) and to groups of closely related

counterparties exclude exposures to connected persons, to the central government or central bank of any country with a long-term credit rating of

A- or A3 or above, or its equivalent, or to any supranational or quasi-sovereign agency with a long-term credit rating of A- or A3 or above, or its

equivalent. These calculations relate only to exposures held in the financial records of the Banking Group and were calculated net of individually

assessed provisions.

vi. Insurance business

The Banking Group does not conduct any insurance business (as that term is defined in the Order).

vii. Risk management policies

Refer to Registered bank disclosures viii. Risk management policies and Note 31. Financial risk included in the Banking Group Disclosure Statement for the

year ended 30 September 2021 for further details on the Banking Group’s risk management policies.

Conditions of registration
Westpac New Zealand Limited 51

Material non-compliance with conditions of registration

CoR14 non-compliance

In August 2019 the Reserve Bank commenced a thematic review of compliance with its Liquidity Policy (BS13). On 9 July 2021, the Reserve Bank

provided the Bank with final review findings in relation to the Bank. The findings identified a series of quantitative areas of non-compliance with

BS13 by the Bank which the Reserve Bank considered collectively constituted non-compliance with condition of registration 14 in a material

respect by the Bank. The Bank is undertaking remediation activity to address the identified non-compliance with BS13.

Whilst undertaking remediation activity, the Bank identified two further instances of non-compliance with the Reserve Bank’s Liquidity Policy

(BS13) which individually are not considered material. However, when considered collectively, and in conjunction with the findings from the

Reserve Bank Liquidity review, there remains material non-compliance with condition of registration 14 by the Bank. The non-compliance relates

to a historical methodology error which impacted the treatment of lending due to be drawn down where the draw down date and principal

amount are certain; and a historical coding error regarding the treatment of cash inflows for loans considered delinquent.

Refer to Regulatory Liquidity Ratios on page 49 with reference to the adjustment to the one-week and one-month mismatch ratios.

BS2B non-compliance

During the reporting period, the Bank was non-compliant with condition of registration 1B. The Bank is not fully compliant with operational risk

capital model governance and scenario financial estimate requirements set out in Part B of BPR151 (previously BS2B).

Remediation activity includes the Bank’s transition to the Reserve Bank’s standardised approach for operational risk capital (BPR150). Refer to

Operational Risk on page 46 with reference to the operational risk capital overlay applied by the Bank in respect of these matters.

Material non-compliance with CoR22

Out-of-support software and hardware applications

The Bank allowed outsourcing arrangements for the adequate support of three key software or hardware environments to lapse. Specifically:

For a period of one year and four months, it did not have in place an outsourcing arrangement to ensure adequate support services were

available for software used to comply with the Bank’s anti-money laundering and tax transaction monitoring obligations.

For periods ranging from two and a half to four and a half years, it did not have in place outsourcing arrangements to ensure adequate

support services were available for three instances of software used to automate key business processes for the Bank.

For a period of two and a half years in relation to certain hardware and a period ranging from three and a half to six and a half years for

operating system software, it did not have in place an outsourcing arrangement to ensure adequate support services were available for

certain payment systems operated by the Bank, which support some of the Bank’s payment processing services.

The relevant software and hardware environments ensure high availability of key frontline applications for its retail and business customers. The

failure to renew the above outsourcing arrangements for the support of these software and hardware environments was non-compliant with the

Reserve Bank’s Outsourcing Policy (BS11) and therefore with the Bank’s condition of registration 22.

Despite not having adequate support contracts in place, the Bank either continued to receive support or could have acquired support on a non-

contractual basis. The Bank also had internal teams in place to provide support in the event of issues arising with the software and hardware.

However, if a critical problem had arisen with the software without the required support contracts in place, then this could have increased the risk

that the Bank may not have been able to restore the relevant services within the Bank’s recovery time objectives. This would, in turn, impact the

Bank’s ability to provide certain services to business and retail customers who are using these services or business applications.

Once the non-compliances came to the Bank’s attention, internal investigations took place, and the incidents were reported to the Reserve Bank.

The Bank has now entered into a new support agreement for the software application that is the subject of one non-compliance listed above and

remediation work is underway in respect of the remaining non-compliances.

Changes to conditions of registration

The following changes to the Bank’s conditions of registration have occurred between the reporting date for the previous disclosure statement

and the reporting date for this disclosure statement:

With effect from 1 October 2021, all capital ratios have been required to be calculated in accordance with BPR100 and the capital definitions

in BPR110. Transitional AT1 and Transitional Tier 2 instruments have been required to be included in measures of AT1 capital, Tier 1 capital,

Tier 2 capital, and total capital.

With effect from 1 October 2021, a new set of dividend restrictions have applied during banks’ transition to higher capital ratios. Further

percentage limits have applied to payment of dividends of between 50% - 0% of the bank’s earnings where a bank’s prudential capital buffer

is less than 2.5%.

With effect from 1 October 2021, where a bank fails to maintain the full prudential capital buffer, the bank in question will be subject to a

supervisory response from the Reserve Bank. However, a failure by a bank to maintain the full prudential capital buffer will not be deemed to

be a breach of that bank’s conditions of registration.

With effect from 1 October 2021, references to BS2A and BS2B were replaced with the relevant new Banking Prudential Requirements

references (BPR001, BPR131 and BPR133).

With effect from 1 November 2021, LVR restrictions for owner-occupiers were restricted to a maximum of 10% of new lending at LVRs above

80%.

With effect from 1 January 2022, the timing in the conditions of registration wording for the LVR restrictions was clarified.

With effect from 1 January 2022, the minimum requirement for the core funding ratio was increased from 50% to 75%.

Independent auditor’s review report

To the shareholder of Westpac New Zealand Limited

Report on the Disclosure Statement

Our conclusions

We have reviewed pages 7 to 26 and pages 28 (excluding note i of the registered bank disclosures) to 50 of the

Disclosure Statement for the six months ended 31 March 2022 (the “Disclosure Statement”) of Westpac New

Zealand Limited (the “Bank”) and its controlled entities (the “Banking Group”), which includes the condensed

consolidated interim financial statements (the “financial statements”) required by Clause 25 of the Registered

Bank Disclosure Statements (New Zealand Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended) (the

“Order”) and the supplementary information required by Schedules 5, 7, 11, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order.

The financial statements on pages 7 to 26 comprise the balance sheet as at 31 March 2022, and the income

statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash

flows for the six months ended on that date, and significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

The supplementary information is included within notes 3, 5 and 6 of the financial statements and notes ii to vii of

the registered bank disclosures.

We have examined the financial statements and supplementary information and based on our review, nothing has

come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying:

a)financial statements of the Banking Group (excluding the supplementary information) have not been

prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial

Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial

Reporting (NZ IAS 34);

b)supplementary information that is required to be disclosed under Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order,

does not fairly state the matters to which it relates in accordance with those schedules; and

c)supplementary information relating to capital adequacy and regulatory liquidity requirements that is required

to be disclosed under Schedule 11 of the Order, is not, in all material respects, disclosed in accordance with

Schedule 11 of the Order.

Basis for conclusions

We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410

(Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410

(Revised)). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial

statements and supplementary information section of our report.

We are independent of the Banking Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand

relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in

accordance with these ethical requirements. In addition to our role as auditor, our firm carries out other services

for the Banking Group in the areas of other audit-related services, which relate to agreed upon procedures over

the issue of comfort letters and debt issuance programmes. In addition, certain partners and employees of our

firm may deal with the Banking Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the

Banking Group. The provision of these other services and these relationships has not impaired our independence.

Westpac New Zealand Limited 53
Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to note iv of the registered bank disclosures on page 49 of the Disclosure Statement, in which

the Bank has disclosed matters of non-compliance with the Liquidity Policy (BS13).

The matters of non-compliance were due to a coding error in the BS13 liquidity model which impacted the

aggregation of customer deposits, the treatment of cash outflows from lending due to be drawn down where the

draw-down date and the principal amount are certain and the treatment of cash inflows for loans considered to be

delinquent. The one-week and one-month mismatch ratios as disclosed in the regulatory liquidity ratios have been

adjusted to reflect the impact of these matters of non-compliance. In addition, with effect from 31 March 2021, the

Bank’s conditions of registration were amended to apply an overlay to the mismatch ratios, discounting the value

of the Bank’s liquid assets, until such time as the Reserve Bank is satisfied its concerns regarding liquidity risk

controls have been resolved.

Our conclusion on the supplementary information relating to capital adequacy and regulatory liquidity

requirements is not modified in respect of these matters.

Other Matters

We draw attention to other matters included in the Disclosure Statement as follows:

●the Bank is required to supply two external reviews to the Reserve Bank under section 95 of the Reserve

Bank of New Zealand Act 1989, as referred to in note i of the registered bank disclosures on page 28; and

●the Bank has identified material matters of non-compliance with aspects of its conditions of registration, as

referred to within conditions of registration on page 51.

Directors’ responsibilities for the Disclosure Statement

The Directors of the Bank (the “Directors”) are responsible on behalf of the Bank for the preparation and fair

presentation of the Disclosure Statement, which includes financial statements prepared in accordance with

Clause 25 of the Order, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the

preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In addition, the Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Bank, for the preparation and fair presentation of the

supplementary information in the Disclosure Statement which complies with Schedules 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 16 and 18

of the Order.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial statements and supplementary information

Our responsibility is to express the following conclusions on the financial statements and supplementary

information based on our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to

our attention that causes us to believe that the:

●financial statements (excluding the supplementary information), taken as a whole, have not been prepared in

all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34;

●supplementary information (excluding the supplementary information relating to capital adequacy and

regulatory liquidity requirements), taken as a whole, does not fairly state the matters to which it relates in

accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order; and

●supplementary information relating to capital adequacy and regulatory liquidity requirements, taken as a

whole, is not, in all material respects, disclosed in accordance with Schedule 11 of the Order.

A review of financial statements and supplementary information in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a

limited assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of

persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in

accordance with International Standards on Auditing and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and

consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not

express an audit opinion on the financial statements and the supplementary information.
