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 2025.
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of the Bank on 4 May 2026.
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 2025, except for certain hedge accounting changes as outlined below. The going concern concept has been applied.
Effective 1 October 2025, the Banking Group adopted the hedge accounting requirements of NZ IFRS 9 Financial instruments. As permitted by NZ
IFRS 9, the adoption of these requirements is considered a change in accounting policy for the Banking Group and is applied prospectively. As the
accounting for macro hedging activities of interest rate risk is not explicitly addressed in NZ IFRS 9, the Banking Group will continue to apply NZ
IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement hedge accounting principles for its portfolio-level fair value hedging of retail
products.
NZ IFRS 9 simplifies hedge accounting by more closely aligning hedge relationships with the Banking Group’s risk management strategies and
allows a broader range of hedged items and hedging instruments to be designated. Certain cost-of-hedging elements may now be deferred i n
other comprehensive income (OCI) in a cost of hedging reserve (COHR). In addition, the hedge effectiveness testing is less prescriptive. Whereas
NZ IAS 39 requires hedge effectiveness to be within a range of 80%–125% or otherwise hedge accounting is discontinued, NZ IFRS 9 instead
requires a qualitative assessment of whether an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and the hedging instrument and also
permits rebalancing for hedge relationships where effectiveness levels have changed.
All the Banking Group’s existing hedge accounting relationships previously designated under NZ IAS 39 continued to qualify for hedge accounting
under NZ IFRS 9 and comparative information has not been restated. Under NZ IFRS 9, costs of hedging (cross-currency basis spreads) are being
reflected in a new COHR within OCI. The balance of the COHR as at 31 March 2026 is $(25) million (30 September 2025: Nil).
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 conform to changes in presentation in the current year and 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 the interim financial statements, the application of the Banking Group’s accounting policies requires the use of judgement,
assumptions and estimates. The areas of judgement, assumptions and estimates 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 2025. Recent geopolitical
developments have led to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty with the assumptions and estimates used to determine the provision for ECL.
Actual outcomes may differ significantly from the assumptions used. Details of the 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
Except for certain hedge accounting changes as outlined above, no new accounting standards have been adopted by the Banking Group for the six
months ended 31 March 2026. There have been no amendments to existing accounting standards that have had a material impact on the Banking
Group.

As at 31 March 2026, $7,537 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 2025: $7,539 million).
In addition, $18 million of residential mortgages and accrued interest have been pledged as collateral as part of the repurchase agreements with
the Reserve Bank, under the Term Lending Facility (30 September 2025: $1,532 million under the Term Lending Facility and Funding for Lending
Programme (which was fully repaid during the period ended 31 March 2026)).
The 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 2025. As at 31 March 2026, the New
Zealand dollar equivalent of bonds issued by WSNZL under the CB Programme was $5,020 million (30 September 2025: $6,613 million) and the
cash value of the repurchase agreements with the Reserve Bank was $15 million (30 September 2025: $1,134 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” represents transfers between Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 prior to remeasurement of the provision for ECL.
●“New facilities originated” represents new accounts originated during the period.
●“Facilities derecognised” represents loans derecognised due to final repayments during the period.
●“Other charges/(credits) to the income statement” 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" represents 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 individually assessed and collectively assessed
provisions. Collectively assessed provisions are disaggregated into the modelled ECL provision and portfolio overlays.
Portfolio overlays are used to capture areas of potential risks and uncertainties that are not captured in the underlying modelled 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 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.
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 are 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 $21 million (30 September 2025: $17 million). If 1% of
Stage 2 loans and credit commitments (calculated on a lifetime ECL) were transferred to Stage 1 (calculated on a 12 month ECL), the provision for
ECL on loans and credit commitments would decrease by $3 million (30 September 2025: $2 million) for the Banking Group. These estimates apply
the average modelled provision coverage ratio by stage to the transfer of loans and credit commitments.
The following table discloses the macroeconomic scenario weightings applied by the Banking Group as at 31 March 2026 and 30 September 2025.

(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 over estimation 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 2026 were $(7) million (30 September 2025: $(27) million).
Impact of changes in gross carrying amount on the provision for ECL
●Stage 1 gross carrying amount had a net increase of $3.8 billion (30 September 2025: increased by $12.3 billion), primarily driven by new
lending and underlying portfolio movement from residential mortgages and corporate lending, partially offset by repayments. The Stage 1
ECL increase is in line with the increase in exposures, primarily driven by underlying portfolio movements and a more conservative
economic outlook.
●Stage 2 gross carrying amount decreased by $1.0 billion (30 September 2025: decreased by $8.2 billion), primarily driven by the movement
of exposures to Stage 1 from residential mortgages and corporate lending along with repayments. The Stage 2 ECL increase is primarily from
management overlay, along with an impact from a weaker economic outlook, partially offset by underlying portfolio movements.
●Stage 3 gross carrying amount decreased by $0.04 billion (30 September 2025: increased by $0.1 billion), reflecting gross movements of
exposures between Stage 3 and Stage 2, along with repayments, resulting in a small net reduction over the period. The increase in Stage 3
ECL is largely driven by new IAPs.

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:

Standby letters of credit and guarantees are undertakings to pay, against presentation of documents, an obligation in the event of a default by a customer.
Guarantees are unconditional undertakings given to support the obligations of a customer to third parties. The Banking Group may hold cash as collateral for certain
guarantees issued.
2
Letters of credit and guarantees includes the value of exposures guaranteed by the Bank to NZ Branch.
3
Commitments to extend credit include all obligations on the part of the Banking Group to provide credit facilities. As facilities may expire without being drawn upon,
the notional amounts do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.
4
In addition to the commitments disclosed above, there is $2,972 million (30 September 2025: $1,478 million) of exposure to credit risk primarily relating to credit
exposures offered and accepted but still revocable, which represent part of the Banking Group's maximum exposure to credit risk.
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,
legal proceedings, investigations, inquiries and reviews (formal and informal) carried out by regulatory authorities; and internal investigations and
reviews.
The scope of reviews (internal and external), investigations and inquiries 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 2025 and as at 30 September 2025 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. This
includes changes in the segmentation classification for small to medium enterprise customers.
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 for individuals and small to medium enterprise; and
●Institutional and Business Banking provides a broad range of financial services for 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.

Other material matters
Reserve Bank review of overseas bank branches
On 30 October 2025, the Reserve Bank released the exposure draft of the Incorporation outside New Zealand Standard (IoNZ Standard) under the
Deposit Takers Act 2023. The proposed IoNZ Standard will require that overseas bank branches only conduct business with wholesale clients; the
total size of an overseas bank's branch not exceed NZ$15 billion in total assets; the New Zealand business be less than 50% of its total business;
and dual-operating branches (such as the NZ Branch) only conduct business with “large corporate or institutional clients" (LCIC).
The IoNZ Standard proposes that LCIC includes (broadly) those with consolidated annual turnover of over NZ$50 million or total assets of over
NZ$75 million and funds management entities and custodians with total assets under management of over NZ$250 million. The implementation
date is expected to be 1 December 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 IoNZ 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 the activities it undertakes.
Reserve Bank capital review
On 17 December 2025, the Reserve Bank announced its decisions relating to its review of key capital settings for deposit takers (2025 Capital
Review). Once implemented, the updated settings for Group 1 deposit takers (including the Bank) will:
●remove AT1 from the capital stack and phase out the recognition of existing AT1 instruments.
●require the deposit taker to have a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio of 12% (including a 6% prudential capital buffer (PCB) ratio).
●require the deposit taker to have a total capital ratio of 15% (including a 6% PCB ratio). Up to 3% of the total capital ratio requirement can
consist of subordinated debt eligible as Tier 2 capital to be issued to the Australian parent bank.
●require the deposit taker to have an additional 6% of RWAs of Loss Absorbing Capacity (LAC) instruments to be issued to the Australian
parent bank, bringing the total requirement including LAC to 21%.
●introduce more granular and lower standardised risk weights for certain asset classes.
The new Tier 2 and LAC instruments will include conversion to equity or write-off provisions.

i. General information (continued)
On 27 February 2026, the Reserve Bank released further information relating to the 2025 Capital Review, including further information on indicative
transition timelines and confirmation it will continue to consider applications for redemption of AT1 instruments, subject to the relevant prudential
requirements being satisfied.
On 13 April 2026, the Reserve Bank published an exposure draft consultation to update the BPRs for some of the decisions made as part of the
2025 Capital Review. For Group 1 deposit takers (including the Bank) these draft BPRs propose, as an interim measure, permitting the issuance of
Tier 2 instruments with a shorter maturity date or earlier redemption date than is permitted under the current settings. Additionally, a separate
amortisation table for Tier 2 instruments issued with a maturity date of less than 5 years has been proposed.
The Reserve Bank has also indicated it intends to consult during 2026 on the new Tier 2 and LAC instrument design and related implementation
timelines.
Australian Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) Reforms
In 2024, the Australian Parliament enacted the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Amendment Act 2024 (Cth), introducing
major reforms to the AML/CTF regime. A substantial number of reforms took effect from 31 March 2026. The reforms include the extension of a
number of provisions (including customer due diligence obligations) that apply to the Ultimate Parent Bank's permanent offshore establishments,
including the Bank and certain other members of the Banking Group. In response, the Ultimate Parent Bank and the relevant members of the
Banking Group are updating their policies, procedures, systems and controls, and are taking steps to address compliance gaps. Full
implementation will require a multi-year implementation plan, including complex technology upgrades to customer due diligence, expanding
transaction monitoring and reporting infrastructure. Timing and delivery challenges are an industry wide issue. In recognition of these challenges,
the AML/CTF Transitional Rules (Transitional Rules) commenced alongside the new regime, providing legislative transitional arrangements for a
limited subset of obligations applicable to existing reporting entities, including deferred commencement of certain requirements, subject to
specified conditions. These Transitional Rules do not, however, apply to the Banking Group. Given the scale of changes required, the Banking
Group has not completed implementation of all new requirements as at 31 March 2026.
Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) has also published its regulatory expectations, noting that it does not expect
immediate compliance, provided reporting entities continue to effectively identify, mitigate and manage money laundering and terrorism
financing risk and show sustained effort and reasonable progress against their implementation plans. During this period, AUSTRAC expects
existing AML/CTF controls to continue to operate.
The Ultimate Parent Bank has developed, and continues to refine, a phased implementation plan, that addresses both obligations subject to
transitional arrangements and broader reforms not covered by the Transitional Rules, including those applicable to its permanent offshore
establishments. The Ultimate Parent Bank will continue to engage with AUSTRAC to support a phased implementation approach.
Depositor Compensation Scheme
The Depositor Compensation Scheme (DCS) took effect from 1 July 2025. If a licensed deposit taker (including the Bank) fails, the DCS will protect
eligible depositors with money held in DCS-protected accounts up to $100,000 per depositor, per deposit taker. Most transaction, savings, notice,
term deposit and PIE accounts are protected accounts. The DCS is administered by the Reserve Bank. For more information about the scheme,
please refer to the Reserve Bank's website.

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.
Trading derivatives that are considered economic hedges are included as ‘held for hedging purposes’ in the following table. Derivatives held for
trading, which excludes 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.

scheduled distribution payment date after that
date
Ranking and rights in liquidation
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.
On 17 December 2025 the Bank determined that a regulatory event had occurred in relation to the Quoted PPS, following the release by the
Reserve Bank of its 2025 Capital Review decisions. No decision has been made by the Bank to redeem the Quoted PPS.
Conversion
The AT1 PPS have no conversion or exchange options and no non-viability triggers.

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, and completely phased out from 1 July 2028. The base amount was fixed at the
total nominal amount of the Bank’s AT1 notes outstanding as at 30 September 2021, being $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 37.5% of the base amount able to be recognised between 1
January 2026 and 31 December 2026 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 2026, 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 BPR; 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).

Certain balances which are part of the guarantee with the NZ Branch are not included as off-balance sheet contingent liabilities, reflecting their treatment in RWAs
calculations as components of on-balance sheet or counterparty credit risk exposure.
Additional mortgage information
Residential mortgages by LVR as at 31 March 2026
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 2025 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 2026.
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 37 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 2026.

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 2026 of the aggregate capital charge for that category of market risk derived in accordance with BPR140 Market risk
exposure.

Capital ratios
The following table is disclosed under the Reserve Bank’s Basel III framework in accordance with Clauses 15 and 16 of Schedule 11 to the Order and
represents the capital adequacy calculation based on the Reserve Bank BPR.
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 $419 million as at 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025: $315 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.
3
Ultimate Parent Bank (Extended Licensed Entity) comprises the Ultimate Parent Bank and its subsidiary entities that have been approved by APRA as being part of a
single 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 are
accredited by APRA to apply advanced models. The Ultimate Parent Bank Group and Ultimate Parent Bank use 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.

iv. Capital adequacy and regulatory liquidity ratios (continued)
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%.
On 4 December 2025, APRA published the final changes to the relevant prudential and reporting standards resulting from the phase out of AT1
with an effective date of 1 January 2027. Under the revisions, large internationally active banks such as the Ultimate Parent Bank will replace 1.5%
of AT1 capital with 1.25% of Tier 2 capital and 0.25% of CET1 capital. The total CET1 requirement, including regulatory buffers, will increase from
10.25% to 10.50%. There is no overall increase in total capital requirements for banks.
On implementation of these revised prudential and reporting standards, existing AT1 capital instruments would be included in the calculation of
the amount of total capital, until their first scheduled call date. Existing Ultimate Parent Bank AT1 capital instruments would reach their first
scheduled optional redemption dates by 2031 at the latest.
In addition, effective 1 January 2027 the minimum leverage ratio requirement will be 3.25% based on CET1 capital replacing the current
requirement of 3.50% based on Tier 1 capital. APS 221 Large Exposures and APS 222 Associations with Related Entities exposure limits remain
unchanged, however will be based on CET1 capital rather than Tier 1 capital.
The Ultimate Parent Bank Board has determined a target post dividend CET1 capital ratio of above 11.25% 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 information on its 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 2026.
Regulatory liquidity ratios
The Bank calculates liquidity ratios in accordance with the Reserve Bank document 'Liquidity Policy'. Ratios are calculated daily and are part of the
Bank’s management of liquidity risk. Quarterly average ratios are produced in line with the Reserve Bank rules and guidance.

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.
4
A counterparty is a bank counterparty if it is a bank that is not a member of a group of closely related counterparties or it is a group of closely related
counterparties of which a bank is the parent.
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 2026, and then dividing that amount by the Banking Group’s Common Equity
Tier 1 capital as a t 31 March 2026.
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.

The Banking Group does not conduct any insurance business.
vii. Risk management policies

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 General Information and Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios) (the half-
year financial statements and supplementary information) which comprise:
‒ the consolidated half-year financial statements comprised of:

–the income statement and 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 oth
er explanatory information
(excluding the information disclosed in accordance with Schedules 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 16 and 18 of
the Registered Bank Disclosure Statements (New Zealand Incorporated Registered Banks)
Order 2014 (as amended) (Order) and is included within registered bank disclosures i to vii);
(the half-year financial statements).
‒ the supplementary information that is required to be disclosed
in accordance with Schedules 5, 7, 13,
16 and 18 of the Order (the supplementary information), contained within registered bank
disclosures ii, iii, v, vi and vii.
Based on our review, the accompanying half-year financial statements and supplementary information of
Westpac New Zealand Limited and its controlled entities (the Banking Group) within pages 6 to 21, 24 to 33
and 46, 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, in accordance
with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting
(NZ IAS 34); and
‒ the supplementary information 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 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 half-year financial statements and supplementary information
section of our report.
We are independent of the Banking Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand
relating to the audit of the annual 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 regulatory compliance assurance,
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.
Use of this Independent Auditor’s Review Report
This report is made solely to the shareholder. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the
shareholder 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, none of KPMG, any entities directly or indirectly controlled by KPMG, or any
of their respective members or employees, accept or assume responsibility and deny all liability to anyone other
than the shareholder 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's consolidated interim disclosure statement
in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and Schedules 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order; and
—implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a 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 half-year financial statements and
supplementary information
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial statements and supplementary information
based on our review.
NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the:
—half-year financial statements, taken as a whole, do not present fairly, in all material respects, the
Banking Group’s financial position as at 31 March 2026 and its financial performance and cash flows for
the 6 month period ended on that date;
—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, 13, 16 and 18 of the Order.
A review of the half-year financial statements and supplementary information 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 do not enable us to obtain
assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the half-year
financial statements and supplementary information.

Assurance Report
To the shareholder of Westpac New Zealand Limited (the Bank)
Report on the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios
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 Ratios, disclosed in registered bank disclosure iv 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 Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios, as
disclosed in registered bank disclosure iv within the consolidated interim disclosure statement for the period
ended 31 March 2026. Our conclusion on the Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios does not extend
to any other information included, or referred to, in the consolidated interim disclosure statement.
Criteria
The supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios 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.
Our responsibilities under the Standard are further described in the ‘Our responsibility’ section of our report.
How to interpret limited assurance and material misstatement and non-compliance
A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in
relation to both the risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and the
procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.
Misstatements, including omissions, within the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and
Regulatory Liquidity Ratios and non-compliance are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they
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 Ratios.
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 period ended 31 March 2026 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 to the 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.
Directors’ responsibility for the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and
Regulatory Liquidity Ratios
The Directors of the Bank are responsible for the compliance activities undertaken to meet their identified
compliance requirements and disclosure of the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy and
Regulatory Liquidity Ratios in accordance with Schedule 11 of the Order. This responsibility includes such
internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the identification of risks that threaten the
compliance requirements being met, designing and implementing controls which will mitigate those risks, monitor
ongoing compliance and to enable the disclosure of the supplementary information relating to Capital Adequacy
and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios that is free from material misstatement and non-compliance whether due to fraud
or error.
Our responsibility
We have responsibility for:
- planning and performing the engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the supplementary
information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios is free from material
misstatement and non-compliance, whether due to fraud or error;
- forming an independent conclusion based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we
have obtained; and
- reporting our conclusion to the shareholder.
Our work was carried out by a multidisciplinary team, including specialists in Financial Risk Management, who
assisted with the procedures below. We remain solely responsible for the assurance conclusion.
Summary of the work we performed as the basis for our conclusion
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 is
likely to arise.
We exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism throughout the engagement. We
designed and performed our procedures to obtain evidence about the compliance activities and controls
implemented to meet the requirements of Schedule 11 of the Order.
In undertaking limited assurance, the procedures we primarily performed were:
50Westpac New Zealand Limited
- obtaining an understanding of the process, models, data and internal controls implemented over the
preparation of the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios;
- performing inquiry and analytical procedures over the Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios;
- obtaining an understanding of the Bank’s compliance framework and internal control environment over
the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios, including the Bank’s
assessment of any matters of non-compliance with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s Prudential
Requirements; and
- agreeing the information relating to Capital Adequacy and Regulatory Liquidity Ratios, extracted from
the Bank’s models, accounting records or other supporting documentation, to the consolidated
disclosure statement
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.
Our independence and quality management
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of Professional and Ethical Standard 1
International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New
Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, which is founded on
fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and
professional behaviour.
The firm applies Professional and Ethical Standard 3 Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or
Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements (PES 3), which requires
the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality control including policies or procedures regarding
compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Our firm has also provided other services to the Bank in relation to regulatory compliance assurance, climate
report limited assurance and agreed upon procedures. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of
our firm may also deal with the Bank on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the
business of the Bank. These matters have not impaired our independence as assurance providers of the Bank
for this engagement. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the Bank.
