1 Total committed exposure (TCE) or balance (for residential mortgages) at 30 Sept. TCE is the sum of loan balance and other committed facilities. For this purpose, TCE must meet the requirements of our Sustainable

Finance Framework, and so excludes pre settlement risk, secondary market trading and the underwriting of facilities. 2 Bond facilitation target and progress is measured as the cumulative sum of our proportionate share of

qualifying bonds facilitated from 1 Oct-21. Prior years are restated following data quality reviews which identified additional bonds not previously included. 3 Includes loans that have not been assessed under our SFF. 4

DISCLAIMER
Westpac 2025 Sustainability Market Update 17

The material contained in this presentation is intended to be general background information on Westpac Banking Corporation (Westpac) and its activities.

The information is supplied in summary form and is therefore not necessarily complete. It is not intended that it be relied upon as advice to investors or potential investors, who should consider seeking independent professional advice depending upon

their specific investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs. The material contained in this presentation may include information derived from publicly available sources that have not been independently verified. No representation or

warranty is made as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information.

All amounts are in Australian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

This presentation contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this presentation and include statements regarding our current intent, belief or expectations with respect to our

business and operations, macro and micro economic and market conditions, results of operations and financial condition, capital adequacy, liquidity and risk management, including, without limitation, future loan loss provisions and financial support to

certain borrowers, forecasted economic indicators and performance metric outcomes, indicative drivers, climate- and other sustainability-related statements, commitments, targets, projections and metrics, and other estimated and proxy data.

We use words such as ‘will’, ‘may’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’, ‘seek’, ‘would’, ‘should’, ‘could’, ‘continue’, ‘plan’, ‘estimate’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘probability’, ‘indicative’, ‘risk’, ‘aim’, ‘outlook’, ‘forecast’, ‘f’cast’, ‘f’, ‘assumption’, ‘projection’, ‘target’, ‘goal’, ‘guidance’,

‘ambition’, ‘objective’ or other similar words to identify forward-looking statements, or otherwise identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views on future events and are subject to change, certain

known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions and other factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control (and the control of our officers, employees, agents and advisors), and have been made based on management’s and/or the

board’s current expectations or beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon us.

Forward-looking statements may also be made, verbally or in writing, by members of Westpac’s management or Board in connection with this presentation. Such statements are subject to the same limitations, uncertainties, assumptions and

disclaimers set out in this presentation.

There can be no assurance that future developments or performance will align with our expectations or that the effect of future developments on us will be those anticipated. Actual results could differ materially from those we expect or which are

expressed or implied in forward-looking statements, depending on various factors including, but not limited to, those described in the sections titled ‘Our Operating Environment’ and ‘Risk Management' in our 2025 Annual Report as well as the 2025

Risk Factors document available at www.westpac.com.au. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to us, investors and others should carefully consider such factors and other uncertainties and events.

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, whether from new information, future events, conditions or otherwise, after the date of this presentation.

We also make statements about our processes and policies (including what they are designed to do) as well as the availability of our systems or product features. Systems, processes and product features can be subject to disruption, and may not

always work as intended, so these statements are limited by the factors described in the section titled ‘Risk Management’ in our 2025 Annual Report as well as the 2025 Risk Factors.

Further important information regarding climate change and sustainability-related statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements and other representations relating to environment, social and governance (ESG) topics, including but not limited to climate change, net-zero, climate resilience, natural capital, emissions intensity,

human rights and other sustainability related statements, commitments, targets, projections, scenarios, risk and opportunity assessments, pathways, forecasts, estimated projections and other proxy data. These are subject to known and unknown risks,

and there are significant uncertainties, limitations, risks and assumptions in the metrics and modelling on which these statements rely.

In particular, the metrics, methodologies and data relating to climate and sustainability are rapidly evolving and maturing, including variations in approaches and common standards in estimating and calculating emissions, and uncertainty around future

climate and sustainability related policy and legislation. There are inherent limits in the current scientific understanding of climate change and its impacts. Some material contained in this presentation may include information including, without

limitation, methodologies, modelling, scenarios, reports, benchmarks, tools and data, derived from publicly available or government or industry sources that have not been independently verified. No representation or warranty is made as to the

accuracy, completeness or reliability of such information. There is a risk that the estimates, judgements, assumptions, views, models, scenarios or projections used by Westpac may turn out to be incorrect. These risks may cause actual outcomes,

including the ability to meet commitments and targets, to differ materially from those expressed or implied in this presentation. The climate and sustainability related forward-looking statements made in this presentation are not guarantees or

predictions of future performance and Westpac gives no representation, warranty or assurance (including as to the quality, accuracy or completeness of these statements), nor guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any

forward-looking statement will occur. There are usually differences between forecast and actual results because events and actual circumstances frequently do not occur as forecast and these differences may be material. Westpac will continue to

review and develop its approach to ESG as this subject area matures
