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 Overseas Bank on 12 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 NZ 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 NZ Banking Group and its customers. Responding to this

heightened uncertainty, the NZ 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 NZ 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 NZ 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 NZ 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 NZ

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.

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

date of this disclosure statement, are provided below.

(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 NZ 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 NZ 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 NZ 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 $4.9 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 NZ 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 Overseas Banking 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 NZ Banking Group categorises all fair value instruments according to the hierarchy described below.

Valuation techniques

The NZ 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 NZ 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 NZ 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 NZ

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 NZ 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 NZ Banking Group operates predominantly in the Consumer Banking and Wealth, Institutional and Business Banking and Financial Markets,

International Trade and Payments 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 NZ 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 NZ Banking Group's chief operating decision-maker.

The NZ Banking Group’s operating segments are defined by the customers they serve and the services they provide. The NZ 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 small to medium enterprise, corporate, property finance,

agricultural, institutional and government customers; and

●Financial Markets provides foreign exchange, interest rate derivatives, fixed interest and debt securities, commodities, carbon and energy

capabilities. International Trade and Payments provide international trade solutions, payments products and services to consumer,

business and institutional 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/aggregation of the results, assets and liabilities of the NZ Banking Group’s controlled entities in the

preparation of the aggregated financial statements of the NZ Banking Group; and

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

the NZ Banking Group for statutory financial reporting purposes.

Other material matters

Technology programme

Westpac New Zealand 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. Westpac New Zealand 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

Westpac New Zealand. We expect the Reserve Bank's Branch Standard will require changes to the activities the NZ Branch undertakes and as a

result, Westpac New Zealand may also make changes to the scope of activities it undertakes.

Overseas Bank and APRA enforceable undertaking on risk governance remediation, Integrated Plan and CORE program

Following completion of the Integrated Plan (IP), as committed, in December 2023 (required under the enforceable undertaking entered into with

APRA in December 2020 in relation to the Overseas Bank’s risk governance remediation), the Overseas Bank continued to focus on the

sustainability and effectiveness of the IP uplifts via a transition phase. On 31 December 2024, the Overseas Bank completed the transition phase, as

confirmed by Promontory Australia (as Independent Reviewer) in February 2025.

Reserve Bank review of capital settings for deposit takers

On 31 March 2025, the Reserve Bank announced that it intends to conduct a review of the capital settings applicable to New Zealand incorporated

deposit takers (including Westpac New Zealand). 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

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

APRA announcement to phase out Additional Tier 1 Capital as eligible bank capital

On 9 December 2024, APRA confirmed it will phase out AT1 capital instruments from the bank prudential framework. Under APRA’s proposed

approach, large internationally active banks such as the Overseas Bank will replace 1.5% AT1 capital with 1.25% Tier 2 capital and 0.25% CET1

capital which would see the total CET1 requirement, including regulatory buffers, increase from 10.25% to 10.50%.

APRA intends to finalise changes to prudential standards before the end of 2025, with the updated framework to come into effect from 1 January

2027. In addition, from this date, existing AT1 capital instruments would be eligible to be included as Tier 2 capital, until their first scheduled call

date. All existing AT1 capital instruments issued by an Australian bank would reach their first scheduled call date by 2032 at the latest.

i. General information (continued)
Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) related class action against Overseas Bank

The Overseas Bank is defending a class action proceeding which was commenced in December 2019 in the Federal Court of Australia on behalf of

certain investors who acquired an interest in the Overseas Bank's securities between 16 December 2013 and 19 November 2019. The proceeding

involves allegations relating to market disclosure issues connected to the Overseas Bank’s monitoring of financial crime over the relevant period

and matters which were the subject of the AUSTRAC civil proceedings. The damages sought on behalf of members of the class have not yet been

specified. However, in the course of a procedural hearing in August 2022, the applicant indicated that a preliminary estimate of the losses that

may be alleged in respect of a subset of potential group members exceeded AUD$1 billion. While it remains unclear how the applicant will

ultimately formulate their estimate of alleged damages claimed on behalf of group members, it is possible that the claim may be higher (or lower)

than the amount referred to above. Given the time period and the nature of the claims alleged to be in question, along with the reduction in the

Overseas Bank's market capitalisation at the time of the commencement of the AUSTRAC civil proceedings, it is likely that any total alleged

damages (when, and if, ultimately articulated by the applicant) will be significant. The Overseas Bank continues to deny both that its disclosure

was inappropriate and, as such, that any group member has incurred damage. The matter has not yet been set down for a hearing.

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 NZ 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 NZ Banking Group manages based on their contractual maturity are presented on a contractual

undiscounted basis in the following table.

iv. Credit and market risk exposures and capital adequacy

Additional mortgage information

Residential mortgages by LVR as at 31 March 2025

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

The NZ 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 NZ 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.

Market risk

The NZ Banking Group’s aggregate market risk exposure is derived in accordance with BPR140 Market risk exposure and is calculated on a six-

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 NZ Banking Group’s peak end-of-day aggregate capital charge is derived in accordance with the scalar

approach as referred to in BPR140 Market risk exposure. Under this approach, the end-of-period capital charge is scaled by the ratio of peak

capital charge to end-of-period capital charge using the internal value-at-risk method.

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

The capital ratios represent information mandated by APRA. The capital ratios of the Overseas Banking Group are publicly available in the Overseas Banking Group’s

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

Overseas Banking Group (excluding entities specifically excluded by APRA regulations) comprises the consolidation of the Overseas 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

Overseas Bank.

3

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

Extended Licensed Entity for the purpose of measuring capital adequacy (Level 1).

Under APRA’s Prudential Standards, Australian authorised deposit-taking institutions, including the Overseas Banking Group and Overseas 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 risk weighted assets, the Overseas Banking Group and Overseas Bank is accredited by

APRA to apply advanced models. The Overseas Banking Group and Overseas Bank uses the Advanced IRB approach for credit risk, the

Standardised Measurement Approach (SMA) for operational risk and the internal model approach for IRRBB for calculating regulatory capital.

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

The Overseas Bank Board has determined that the Overseas Banking Group and Overseas 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 Overseas Banking 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 Overseas Bank’s website (www.westpac.com.au).

The Overseas Banking Group (excluding entities specifically excluded by APRA regulations), and the Overseas Bank (Extended Licensed Entity as

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

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
To the New Zealand business of Westpac Banking Corporation (the Branch)

Report on the aggregated interim disclosure statement

Conclusion

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

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

information relating to Credit and Market Risk Exposures and Capital Adequacy) (the financial statements

and supplementary information) which comprise:

‒ the aggregated 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 six 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, 12 and 14 of the

Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (Overseas Incorporated Registered Banks) Order 2014

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

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

required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 12 and 14 of the Order.

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

information of The New Zealand business of Westpac Banking Corporation and its financial reporting entities

(the NZ Banking Group), as defined by the Order, on pages 6 to 22 and 25 to 34, 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 Credit and Market

Risk Exposures and Capital Adequacy Requirements) that is required to be disclosed in accordance

with Schedule 5, 7, 12 and 14 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 aggregated 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

aggregated interim disclosure statement section of our report.

We are independent of the NZ 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 NZ 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 NZ Banking Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of

trading activities of the business of the NZ Banking Group. These matters have not impaired our independence

as auditor of the NZ Banking Group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the NZ Banking

Group.

Other matter
The aggregated financial statements and supplementary information of the NZ 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 13 May 2024

and 7 November 2024 respectively.

Use of this Independent Auditor’s Review Report

This report is made solely to the Branch. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Branch

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

Branch for our review work, this report, or any of the conclusions we have formed.

Responsibilities of Directors for the aggregated interim disclosure statement

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

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

accordance with NZ IAS 34 and Schedules 3, 5, 7, 12 and 14 of the Order; and

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

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the aggregated 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:

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

respects, the NZ 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;

—aggregated half-year financial statements, taken as a whole, do 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, 12 and 14 of the Order.

A review of the aggregated 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

aggregated 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 New Zealand business of Westpac Banking Corporation (the Branch)

Report on the supplementary information relating to Credit and Market Risk Exposures and Capital

Adequacy 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

Credit and Market Risk Exposures and Capital Adequacy Requirements, disclosed in note iv of the registered

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

accordance with Schedule 9 of the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (Overseas Incorporated Registered

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

Information subject to assurance

We have reviewed the supplementary information relating to Credit and Market Risk Exposures and Capital

Adequacy, as disclosed in note iv of the registered bank disclosures within the aggregated interim disclosure

statement for the period ended 31 March 2025.

Criteria

The supplementary information relating to Credit and Market Risk Exposures and Capital Adequacy

Requirements comprises the information that is required to be disclosed in accordance with Schedule 9 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 Credit and Market Risk Exposures and Capital

Adequacy 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 Credit and Market Risk Exposures and Capital

Adequacy Requirements;

— performed inquiry and analytical procedures over the Credit and Market Risk Exposures and

Capital Adequacy Requirements;

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

over the information relating to Credit and Market Risk Exposures and Capital Adequacy

Requirements, including the Branch’s assessment of any matters of non-compliance with the Reserve

Bank of New Zealand’s Prudential Requirements; and

Westpac Banking Corporation - New Zealand Banking Group

— agreed the information relating to Credit and Market Risk Exposures and Capital
Adequacy Requirements, extracted from the Branch’s models, accounting records or

other supporting documentation to the aggregated 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 9 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 Credit and Market Risk

and Capital Adequacy 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 Credit and Market Risk and Capital Adequacy 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 9 of the Order will continue in the future.

Use of this assurance Report

This report is made solely for the Branch. Our assurance work has been undertaken so that we might state to

the Branch 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 Branch 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 Branch 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 Banking Corporation – New Zealand Banking Group’s responsibility for

the supplementary information relating to Credit and Market Risk Exposures and

Capital Adequacy Requirements

Credit and Market Risk Exposures and Capital Adequacy Requirements in accordance with Schedule 9 of the

compliance and to enable the disclosure of the supplementary information relating to Credit and Market Risk

Exposures and Capital Adequacy Requirements that is free from material misstatement and non-compliance

whether due to fraud or error.
