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. They also comply 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, they should be read in

conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 September 2024.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of the Bank on 4 May 2025.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those in the annual financial statements for

the year ended 30 September 2024. The going concern concept has been applied.

All amounts in these financial statements 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.

Critical accounting assumptions and estimates

In preparing these financial statements, the application of the Banking Group’s accounting policies requires the use of 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 2024 with the exception of the below.

Geopolitical developments in the lead up to and following 31 March 2025, including in relation to international trade and tariff policies, have led to

heightened uncertainty as to future economic forecasts and potential impact on the Banking Group and its customers. Responding to this

heightened uncertainty, the Banking Group has increased the weighting of the downside scenario used in the estimate of ECL from 42.5% to 45%.

Notwithstanding this change, estimates of ECL are subject to a higher than usual level of uncertainty. Further details on specific judgements in

relation to the calculation of the provision for ECL, including overlays, are included in Note 7.

Amendments to Accounting Standards effective this period

No new accounting standards have been adopted by the Banking Group for the six months ended 31 March 2025. There have been no

amendments to existing accounting standards that have had a material impact on the Banking Group.

As at 31 March 2025, $7,546 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 2024: $7,545 million). In addition, $4,058 million of residential

mortgages and accrued interest have 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 2024: $4,039 million). These pledged assets were not derecognised from the

Banking Group's balance sheet in accordance with the accounting policies outlined in Note 1 Financial statements preparation included in the

Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 September 2024. As at 31 March 2025, the New Zealand dollar equivalent of bonds issued by WSNZL

under the CB Programme was $4,750 million (30 September 2024: $4,353 million) and the cash value of the repurchase agreements with the

Reserve Bank was $3,014 million (30 September 2024: $3,023 million).

Note 7 Provision for expected credit losses

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 facilities originated” line represents new accounts originated during the period.

●“Facilities derecognised” 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 in key economic assumptions and partial

repayments and additional drawdowns 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.

Note 7 Provision for expected credit losses (continued)
Impact of overlays on the provision for ECL on loans and credit commitments

The following table attributes the provision for ECL on loans and credit commitments between modelled ECL and portfolio overlays.

Portfolio overlays are used to capture areas of potential risks and uncertainties that are not captured in the underlying modelled ECL. These risks

may result in under or overestimation of the modelled provision for ECL.

Details of changes related to forward-looking economic inputs and portfolio overlays, based on reasonable and supportable information up to the

(a) Modelled provision for ECL on loans and credit commitments

The modelled provision for ECL on loans and credit commitments 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. Overlays are used to capture potential risks and uncertainties that are not captured in the underlying modelled ECL. These

risks may result in under or overestimation of the modelled provision for ECL.

The base case scenario uses the latest Westpac Economics forecast. Certain data points from this forecast are shown below:

The downside scenario is an economic downturn scenario with ECL higher than the base case. This scenario assumes a recession with a

combination of negative GDP growth, declines in residential property prices and an increase in the unemployment rate, which simultaneously

impact ECL across all portfolios from the reporting date. The assumptions used in this scenario and relativities to the base case will be monitored

having regard to the emerging economic conditions and updated where necessary. The upside scenario represents a modest economic

improvement to the base case.

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

and what the provision for ECL on loans and credit commitments would be assuming a 100% weighting is applied to the base case scenario and to

the downside scenario (with all other assumptions 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) were transferred to stage 2 (calculated on a

lifetime ECL) the provision for ECL on loans and credit commitments would increase by $17 million (30 September 2024: $14 million) based on

applying the average provision coverage ratios by stage to the movement in the gross exposure by stage.

The following table discloses the macroeconomic scenario weightings applied by the Banking Group as at 31 March 2025 and 30 September 2024.

In March 2025, the downside scenario weighting was increased by 2.5% and the base case scenario weighting decreased by the same value,

reflecting greater uncertainty in international trading relations and geopolitical instability.

(b) Portfolio overlays

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

risks may result in under or overestimation of the modelled provision for ECL. Determination of portfolio overlays requires expert judgement and is

thoroughly documented and subject to comprehensive internal governance and oversight. Portfolio overlays are continually reassessed and if the

risk is judged to have changed (increased or decreased), or is subsequently captured in the modelled ECL, the portfolio overlays will be released

or remeasured.

The Banking Group’s total portfolio overlays as at 31 March 2025 were $(33) million (30 September 2024: $(33) million), held on the provision for

ECL for residential mortgages to adjust for observed conservatism in the modelled outcome identified through model monitoring.

Impact of changes in gross carrying amount on the provision for ECL

●Stage 1 gross carrying amount had a net increase of $4.8 billion (30 September 2024: increased by $3.5 billion), primarily driven by new

lending, and underlying portfolio movement from residential mortgages and corporate lending during the period, partially offset by

repayments. The Stage 1 ECL increase is primarily driven by underlying portfolio movements and new lending with an increase in downside

scenario weightings.

●Stage 2 gross carrying amount decreased by $3.9 billion (30 September 2024: decreased by $0.9 billion), primarily driven by repayments,

and underlying portfolio movement from residential mortgages and corporate lending. The Stage 2 ECL decrease is driven by underlying

portfolio movements, partially offset by the increase in downside scenario weightings from residential mortgages and corporate lending.

●Stage 3 gross carrying amount increased by $0.1 billion (30 September 2024: increased by $0.2 billion), driven by increases in 90 days past

due exposures from the residential mortgages lending and customer downgrades in corporate lending, partially offset by repayments and

releases due to write-offs from the other retail lending. The Stage 3 ECL increases are in line with the increase in Stage 3 exposures.

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:

Contingent assets

The Banking Group enters into various arrangements with customers that constitute contingent assets. If a specified contingent event occurs,

these commitments will be called upon and recognised on the balance sheet as loans.

Contingent liabilities

The Banking Group has contingent risks and liabilities arising from the conduct of its business, including: actual and potential disputes, claims and

legal proceedings; investigations, inquiries and reviews (formal and informal) carried out by regulatory authorities (including into the Banking

Group's processes for some products relating to the requirements of the CCCFA); and internal investigations and reviews.

The scope of reviews (internal and external), investigations and inquiries, including those relating to the requirements of the CCCFA, can be wide-

ranging and can result in litigation (including class action proceedings and enforcement proceedings), fines and penalties, customer remediation

and/or other sanctions 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 cannot be reliably estimated.

Note 13 Segment reporting

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

Segment comparative information for the six months ended 31 March 2024 has been revised to align to the current period's basis for reporting,

and is consistent with the information provided internally to the Banking Group's chief operating decision-maker.

The Banking Group’s 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; and

●Institutional and Business Banking provides a broad range of financial services for small to medium enterprise, corporate, property finance,

agricultural, institutional and government customers.

Other primarily represents:

●business units that do not meet the definition of a reportable operating segment 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; 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.

Technology programme

The Bank has committed to the Reserve Bank, APRA and Financial Markets Authority to address various technology issues. Material progress has

been made in addressing these technology issues including improving system resilience. The Bank is undertaking further work to meet its

expectations and those of the regulators.

Reserve Bank review of overseas bank branches

On 21 August 2024, the Reserve Bank released the proposed Branch Standard under the Deposit Takers Act 2023 which will implement decisions

made as part of the review of its policy for branches of overseas banks. The proposed Branch Standard will require that overseas bank branches

only conduct business with wholesale clients; the total size of an overseas bank's branch cannot exceed NZ$15 billion in total assets; and dual-

operating branches (such as the NZ Branch) only conduct business with “large” corporate and institutional clients.

It is proposed that “large” means those with consolidated annual turnover of over NZ$50 million, total assets of over NZ$75 million or total assets

under management of over NZ$1 billion (for funds management entities only). The implementation date is expected to be in July 2028.

The NZ Branch currently provides financial markets, trade finance and international payment products and services to customers referred by the

Bank. We expect the Reserve Bank’s Branch Standard will require changes to the activities the NZ Branch undertakes and as a result, the Bank may

also make changes to the scope of activities it undertakes.

Reserve Bank review of capital settings for deposit takers

On 31 March 2025, the Reserve Bank announced it intends to conduct a review of the capital settings for deposit takers. The planned Prudential

Capital Buffer increase of 1% will proceed on 1 July 2025, with the review to be conducted to allow for any changes to be signalled prior to the next

capital requirement increase scheduled for 1 July 2026. The review will include:

●An assessment of how New Zealand's capital settings compare internationally;

●A reassessment of the appropriate risk appetite for capital settings in New Zealand;

●Reviewing the degree of proportionality in the framework and considering changes; and

●Considering the balance between going concern and gone concern capital and the role of AT1 capital.

Additional information on liquidity risk

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 in

hedge accounting relationships and used as economic hedges are expected to be held for their remaining contractual lives, and reflect gross cash

flows over the remaining contractual term.

Derivatives held for trading (excluding economic hedges) 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 the up to 1

month column. 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 BPR110 Capital definitions, 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.

AT1 Perpetual preference shares (AT1 PPS)

On 21 December 2023, the Bank issued two classes of AT1 PPS to the NZ Branch, totalling $1,000 million ('Internal PPS').

On 13 September 2024, the Bank issued $375 million of AT1 PPS, which are quoted on the NZX Debt Market ('Quoted PPS').

The AT1 PPS qualify as AT1 under the Reserve Bank’s capital adequacy framework. The AT1 PPS are classified as equity instruments as there is no

contractual obligation for the Banking Group to either deliver cash or another financial instrument or to exchange financial instruments on a

potentially unfavourable basis.

A summary of the key terms and features of each class of AT1 PPS is provided below:

The AT1 PPS were issued by the Bank and, in a liquidation of the Bank, rank equally amongst themselves and the Bank’s AT1 notes, are

subordinated to the claims of depositors and other creditors of the Bank (including holders of Tier 2 loan capital), and rank ahead of the Bank’s

ordinary shares. The AT1 PPS do not carry any voting rights.

AT1 PPS distributions payable

Quarterly AT1 PPS distributions are payable at the absolute discretion of the Bank. In addition, AT1 PPS distributions will only be paid if the Bank is

solvent on the payment date and remains solvent immediately after such payment is made and the payment will not result in a breach of the

Bank’s conditions of registration as at the time of the payment.

AT1 PPS distributions are non-cumulative. In respect of a class of AT1 PPS, if an AT1 PPS distribution 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 until a

subsequent AT1 PPS distribution is paid in full on that class (except in limited circumstances).

Redemption

The Bank may elect to redeem all or some of each class of the Internal PPS, or all of the Quoted PPS, on a related optional redemption date, or at

any time for certain tax or regulatory reasons. Redemption is subject to certain conditions, including the Reserve Bank’s prior written approval and

the Bank remaining solvent immediately after the redemption. Holders have no right to require redemption.

Conversion

The AT1 PPS have no conversion or exchange options and no non-viability triggers.

Ranking and rights in liquidation

The AT1 notes were issued by the Bank and, in a liquidation of the Bank, rank equally amongst themselves and the Bank's AT1 PPS, are

subordinated to the claims of depositors and senior or less subordinated creditors of the Bank, and rank ahead of the Bank’s ordinary shares.

Transitional phase-out schedule

In accordance with BPR110 Capital definitions, the Bank’s AT1 notes are subject to a transitional phase-out from 1 January 2022 until 1 July 2028,

with the maximum eligible amount declining by 12.5% each year. The base amount was fixed at the total nominal amount of the Bank’s AT1 notes

outstanding as at 30 September 2021, being NZ$1,500 million. The total value able to be recognised as AT1 is set out in BPR110 Capital definitions,

with the lower of the outstanding amount or 50% of the base amount able to be recognised between 1 January 2025 and 31 December 2025 in line

with the phase-out schedule. On 21 December 2023, the Bank exercised its option, for regulatory reasons, to redeem $1,000 million of the AT1

notes for their face value, as approved by the Reserve Bank. As at 31 March 2025, the remaining outstanding amount of $500 million is fully

recognised as AT1 in accordance with the transitional phase-out schedule.

Interest payable

Quarterly interest payments on the AT1 notes are payable 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's BPRs; 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 or some 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 Banking (Prudential Supervision) Act 1989) 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).

Additional mortgage information

Residential mortgages by LVR as at 31 March 2025

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 13.5 to the financial

statements included in the Disclosure Statement for the year ended 30 September 2024 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 the total value of exposures covered by

guarantees, 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 2025.

Impact of the Standardised Floor on Total Credit Risk RWAs

BPR130 Credit risk RWAs overview requires IRB Banks to calculate total credit risk RWAs as the sum of:

●The greater of:

-1.2 x total RWAs subject to the IRB treatment (as shown in the tables in the sections Credit risk subject to the IRB approach and

Specialised lending subject to the slotting approach on pages 36 and 38 respectively); and

-0.85 x total Standardised Equivalent RWAs for each credit risk exposure subject to the IRB treatment (commonly referred to as the

standardised floor); and

●1.0 x total RWAs subject to the Standardised treatment.

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

Banking Group’s total capital requirements and capital ratios as at 31 March 2025.

Market risk

The Banking Group’s aggregate market risk exposure is derived in accordance with BPR140 Market risk exposure 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 2025 of the aggregate capital charge for that category of market risk derived in accordance with BPR140 Market risk

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

For the purpose of calculating the capital adequacy ratios for the Bank on a solo basis, non-SPV subsidiaries are consolidated within the Bank if

they are either funded exclusively and wholly owned by the Bank, or if there is a full, unconditional and irrevocable cross guarantee between the

non-SPV subsidiary and the Bank. An SPV must be consolidated with the Bank if it is either a covered bond SPV or an internal RMBS SPV.

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 and funding risk, reputational and sustainability risk,

financial crime risk, other assets risk, strategic risk and cyber risk. The internal capital adequacy assessment process also takes account of future

strategic objectives, stress testing and regulatory developments.

The Banking Group’s internal capital allocation for ‘other material risks’ is $315 million as at 31 March 2025 (31 March 2024: $289 million).

Standardised equivalent capital ratios

The following table is disclosed in accordance with Clause 17B of Schedule 11 to the Order. The Banking Group’s standardised equivalent capital

ratios are for disclosure purposes and do not form part of the Bank's Conditions of Registration. Refer to the Capital ratios section above for the

Banking Group’s capital adequacy ratios for compliance purposes.

The RWAs and capital amounts have been calculated in line with the Reserve Bank BPR standardised requirements. The capital amount has been

recalculated to exclude any capital adjustments related to the expected loss provisions that only apply under the IRB approach. The credit risk

RWAs of these exposures have been recalculated under the requirements of BPR131 Standardised credit risk RWAs. The credit risk RWAs that are

currently calculated using the standardised methodology, market risk RWAs, and operational risk RWAs remain unchanged.

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

subsidiary entities except for 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.

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 Extended Licensed Entity 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 those

specified under the Basel III capital framework. For the calculation of RWAs, the Ultimate Parent Bank Group and Ultimate Parent Bank is

accredited by APRA to apply advanced models. The Ultimate Parent Bank Group and Ultimate Parent Bank uses the Advanced IRB approach for

credit risk, the Standardised Measurement Approach (SMA) for operational risk and the internal model approach for interest rate risk in the

banking book for calculating regulatory capital.

APRA has set a Total Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Requirement for Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs), including the Ultimate Parent

Bank of at least 10.25% (noting that APRA may apply higher CET1 requirements for an individual bank). This requirement includes a capital

conservation buffer of 4.75% applicable to D-SIBs and a base level for the countercyclical capital buffer of 1.0% for Australian exposures which

APRA may vary between 0% and 3.5%. From 1 January 2027, the Total CET1 Requirement will increase to 10.50%.

iv. Capital adequacy and regulatory liquidity ratios (continued)
The Ultimate Parent Bank Board has determined that the Ultimate Parent Bank Group and Ultimate Parent Bank will target a CET1 operating capital

range of between 11.0% and 11.5%, in normal operating conditions.

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

Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, 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 Ultimate Parent Bank (Extended Licensed Entity

as defined by APRA) exceeded the minimum capital adequacy requirements as specified by APRA as at 31 March 2025.

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.

There are no bank counterparties with an aggregate credit exposure that equals or exceeds 10% of the Banking Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital. There are no

non-bank counterparties with an 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.

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.

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 six-month period ending 31 March 2025, and then dividing that amount by the Banking Group’s Common Equity

Tier 1 capital as a t 31 March 2025.

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 banks 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.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
To the shareholder of Westpac New Zealand Limited (the Bank)

Report on the consolidated interim disclosure statement

Conclusion

Within the consolidated interim disclosure statement we have completed a review of the accompanying

consolidated half-year financial statements and the supplementary information (excluding supplementary

information relating to Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Requirements) (the financial statements and

supplementary information) which comprise:

‒ the consolidated half-year financial statements comprised of:

- the balance sheet as at 31 March 2025;

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

flows for the 6 month period then ended; and

- notes, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information

(excluding the information disclosed in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the

Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (New Zealand Incorporated Registered Banks)

Order 2014 (as amended) (the Order) and is included within notes ii, iii, v, vi and vii);

‒ the supplementary information, within notes ii, iii, v, vi and vii of the registered bank disclosures,

that is required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order.

Based on our review, the accompanying consolidated half-year financial statements and supplementary

information of Westpac New Zealand Limited and its controlled entities (the Banking Group) on pages 6 to 21,

23 to 32 and 44 to 45, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:

‒ the half-year financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, with New Zealand

Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34); and

‒ the supplementary information (excluding supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy

and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements) that is required to be disclosed in accordance with

Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order:

- does not present fairly, in all material respects, the matters to which it relates;

- is not disclosed, in all material respects, in accordance with those schedules; and

- has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with any condition of registration

relating to disclosure requirements, imposed under section 74(4)(c) of the Banking (Prudential

Supervision) Act 1989.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review of the consolidated interim disclosure statement in accordance with NZ SRE 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

consolidated interim disclosure statement 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 disclosure statement and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in

accordance with these ethical requirements.

Our firm has provided other services to the Banking Group in relation to review of regulatory compliance, climate

report limited assurance, and agreed upon procedures. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of

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

the business of the Banking Group. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of the

Banking Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the Banking Group.

Other matter
The consolidated financial statements and supplementary information of the Banking Group, for the period ended 31

March 2024 were reviewed, and for the year ended 30 September 2024 were audited by another auditor who

expressed unmodified opinion on the financial statements and supplementary information on 5 May 2024 and 3

November 2024 respectively.

Use of this Independent Auditor’s Review Report

This report is made solely to the shareholder of Westpac New Zealand Limited. Our review work has been

undertaken so that we might state to the shareholder of Westpac New Zealand Limited those matters we are

required to state to them in the Independent Auditor’s Review Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest

extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the shareholder of

Westpac New Zealand Limited for our review work, this report, or any of the conclusions we have formed.

Responsibilities of Directors for the consolidated interim disclosure statement

The Directors on behalf of the Banking Group are responsible for:

—the preparation and fair presentation of the Banking Group consolidated interim disclosure statement in

accordance with NZ IAS 34 and Schedules 3, 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order; and

—implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of consolidated interim disclosure

statement that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the consolidated interim disclosure statement

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated interim disclosure statement 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:

—consolidated half-year financial statements, taken as a whole, does not present fairly, in all material

respects, the Banking Group’s financial position as at 31 March 2025 and its financial performance and

cash flows for the 6 month period ended on that date;

—consolidated half-year financial statements, taken as a whole, does not, in all material respects, comply

with NZ IAS 34; and

—the supplementary information does not, fairly state, in all material respects, the matters to which it

relates in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order.

A review of the consolidated interim disclosure statement in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited

assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, 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 (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 consolidated

interim disclosure statement.

The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is Sonia Isaac.

Independent Limited Assurance Report
To the shareholder of Westpac New Zealand Limited (the Bank)

Report on the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity

Requirements

Conclusion

Our limited assurance conclusion has been formed on the basis of the matters outlined in this report:

Based on our limited assurance engagement, which is not a reasonable assurance engagement or audit,

nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that the supplementary information relating to

Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements, disclosed in note iv of the registered bank

disclosures within the consolidated interim disclosure statement, is not, in all material respects disclosed in

accordance with Schedule 11 of the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (New Zealand Incorporated

Registered Banks) Order 2014 (as amended) (the Order).

Information subject to assurance

We have reviewed the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity

Requirements, as disclosed in note iv of the registered bank disclosures within the consolidated interim

disclosure statement for the period ended 31 March 2025.

Criteria

The supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements comprises

the information that is required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedule 11 of the Order.

Standards we followed

We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with Standard on Assurance Engagements

3100 (Revised) Compliance Engagements (SAE 3100 (Revised)) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and

Assurance Standards Board (Standard). We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and

appropriate to provide a basis for our limited conclusion. In accordance with the Standard, we have:

—used our professional judgement to plan and perform the engagement to obtain limited assurance that

the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements,

are free from material misstatement and non-compliance, whether due to fraud or error;

—considered relevant internal controls when designing our assurance procedures, however we do

not express a conclusion on the effectiveness of these controls; and

—ensured that the engagement team possesses the appropriate knowledge, skills and

professional competencies;

—obtained an understanding of the process, models, data and internal controls implemented over

the preparation of the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity

Requirements;

—performed inquiry and analytical procedures over the Capital Adequacy and Regulatory

Liquidity Requirements;

—obtained an understanding of the Bank’s compliance framework and internal control environment

over the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements, including

the Bank’s assessment of any matters of non-compliance with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s

Prudential Requirements; and

Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee. All rights reserved.

48Westpac New Zealand Limited

—agreed the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements,
extracted from the Bank’s models, accounting records or other supporting documentation to the

consolidated interim disclosure statement

How to interpret limited assurance and material misstatement and non-compliance

In a limited assurance engagement, the assurance practitioner performs procedures, primarily consisting of

discussion and enquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and observation and

walk-throughs, and evaluates the evidence obtained. The procedures selected depend on our judgement,

including identifying areas where the risk of material misstatement and non-compliance with Schedule 11 of

the Order.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from and are less in

extent than for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a

limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a

reasonable assurance engagement been performed.

Misstatements, including omissions, within the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and

Regulatory Liquidity Requirements and non-compliance are considered material if, individually or in aggregate,

could reasonably be expected to influence the relevant decisions of the intended users taken on the basis of

the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements.

Inherent limitations

Because of the inherent limitations of an assurance engagement, together with the internal control structure it is

possible that fraud, error or non-compliance with compliance requirements may occur and not be detected.

A limited assurance engagement for the six month period ended 31 March 2025 does not provide assurance on

whether compliance with Schedule 11 of the Order will continue in the future.

Use of this assurance Report

This report is made solely for the Bank’s shareholder. Our assurance work has been undertaken so that we might

state to the shareholder those matters we are required to state to them in the assurance report and for no other

purpose.

Our report should not be regarded as suitable to be used or relied on by anyone other than the Bank and

its shareholder for any purpose or in any context. Any other person who obtains access to our report or a

copy thereof and chooses to rely on our report (or any part thereof) will do so at its own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, none of KPMG, any entities directly or indirectly controlled by KPMG, or

any of their respective members or employees accept or assume any responsibility and deny all liability to

anyone other than the Bank for our work, for this independent assurance report, and/or for the opinions or

conclusions we have reached.

Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Westpac New Zealand Limited’s responsibility for the supplementary information relating to

Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements

The Directors of the Bank are responsible for the disclosure of the supplementary information relating to

Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Requirements in accordance with Schedule 11 of the Order, which

the Directors have determined meets the needs of the Bank. This responsibility includes such internal control

as the Directors determine is necessary to enable compliance and to monitor ongoing compliance and to

enable the disclosure of the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity

Requirements that is free from material misstatement and non-compliance whether due to fraud or error.

Westpac New Zealand Limited49
