INTRODUCTION
Introduction
Westpac Banking Corporation is an Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) subject to regulation by the Australian
Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). Westpac is primarily accredited to use the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based
Approach (A-IRB) for credit risk, the Standardised Measurement Approach (SMA) for operational risk and is required to
apply the Pillar 1 Basel capital framework in our assessment of traded market risk and interest rate risk in the banking
book (IRRBB).
This report has been prepared in accordance with APS 330 Public Disclosure (APS 330) and Westpac's Board approved
Prudential Disclosure Policy. This report provides prudential information about our risk management practices and
measures. Westpac is required to comply with the disclosure requirements issued by the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision (BCBS), subject to certain amendments by APRA. Disclosure requirements vary for quarterly, semi-annual
and annual Pillar 3 reports.
In addition to this report, the regulatory disclosures section of Westpac's website
1
contains the reporting requirements
for capital instruments under paragraph 37 of APS 330 and CCA: Main features of regulatory capital instruments.
Capital instruments disclosures are updated when:
•A new capital instrument is issued that will form part of regulatory capital; or
•A capital instrument is redeemed, converted into Common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital, written off, or its terms and
conditions are changed.

The Level 2 CET1 capital ratio declined by 36 basis points to 12.1%. Key movements included:
•Third quarter 2026 net profit added 38 basis points;
•Payment of the 2026 interim ordinary dividend detracted 57 basis points;
•RWA growth detracted 18 basis points mainly from higher credit RWA and the capital floor RWA adjustment partly
offset by lower IRRBB RWA; and
•Capital deductions and other items added 1 basis point mainly due to lower capitalised software balances and other
reserve movements.
Tier 2 capital Third Quarter 2026 – Second Quarter 2026
The Group issued $0.7 billion and redeemed $2.0 billion of Tier 2 capital instruments. The net impact of these
transactions was a decrease in the total capital ratio of approximately 22 basis points.

Total RWA increased by 1% to $464.5 billion over the quarter with higher credit RWA partly offset by lower non-
credit RWA.
Credit RWA increased by $6.4 billion. Key movements included:
•A $4.7 billion increase from higher lending primarily in Corporate, Large Corporate and Specialised Lending;
•A $1.6 billion increase mainly from higher delinquencies in Residential Mortgages and modest rating migrations in
the Corporate portfolio;
•A $1.5 billion increase from credit valuation adjustment and counterparty credit risk due to increases in the mark-to-
market value of derivatives from changes in underlying foreign currency rates;
•A $0.7 billion decrease from foreign currency translation impacts, predominantly the appreciation of the AUD against
the NZD; and
•A $0.6 billion decrease from data refinements.
OVERVIEWRISK MANAGEMENTOTHER INFORMATION
7
Non-credit RWA decreased by $4.5 billion. Key movements included:
•IRRBB RWA: A $4.8 billion decrease due to a reduction in the embedded loss component from lower long-term
interest rates over the quarter and a net decrease in repricing and yield curve risk in line with underlying banking
book positions; and
•Market RWA: A $0.3 billion increase driven by changes in interest rate risk positioning.
The capital floor RWA adjustment as at 30 June 2026 was $4.3 billion mainly from lower IRRBB RWA.
Leverage ratio Third Quarter 2026 – Second Quarter 2026
The leverage ratio represents the percentage of Tier 1 capital relative to the Exposure Measure
1
. The leverage ratio was
4.9% at 30 June 2026, down 13 basis points over the quarter and well above APRA's regulatory minimum requirement of
3.5%. The decrease in the leverage ratio was due to higher total exposures mostly from higher lending and lower Tier 1
capital following the payment of the 2026 interim ordinary dividend.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)
Westpac’s average LCR for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 was 134% (31 March 2026: 132%), well above the regulatory
minimum of 100%. The increase in the ratio was due to lower average net cash outflows.
Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)
Westpac NSFR for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 was 111% (31 March 2026: 112%) and continues to be above the
regulatory minimum of 100%. The decrease for the quarter reflects an increase in available stable funding, driven by
growth in customer deposits and an increase in wholesale funding, more than offset by growth in customer lending.
Regulatory Developments
APRA has announced a number of changes to banks' capital and liquidity requirements. In addition, the RBNZ has
announced its decisions relating to its review of key capital settings for deposit takers. Further details on these
announcements are set out in the Capital Overview section.

GROUP STRUCTURE
Group Structure
APRA applies a tiered approach to measuring Westpac’s capital adequacy
1
by assessing financial strength at
three levels:
•Level 1, comprising Westpac Banking Corporation and its subsidiary entities that have been approved by APRA as
being part of a single ‘Extended Licensed Entity’ (ELE) for the purposes of measuring capital adequacy;
•Level 2, the consolidation of Westpac Banking Corporation and all its subsidiary entities except those entities
specifically excluded by APRA regulations. The head of the Level 2 group is Westpac Banking Corporation; and
•Level 3, the consolidation of Westpac Banking Corporation and all its subsidiary entities.
Unless otherwise specified, all quantitative disclosures in this report refer to the prudential assessment of Westpac’s
financial strength on a Level 2 basis

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities including structured entities
controlled by Westpac. Westpac and its subsidiaries are referred to collectively as the ‘Group’. The effects of all
transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated on consolidation. Control exists when the parent entity
is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with an entity, and has the ability to affect
those returns through its power over that entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control
commences and they are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Group entities excluded from the regulatory consolidation at Level 2
Regulatory consolidation at Level 2 covers the global operations of Westpac and its subsidiary entities, including other
controlled banking, securities and financial entities, except for those entities involved in the following business activities:
•Acting as manager, responsible entity, approved trustee, trustee or similar role in relation to funds management;
•Non-financial (commercial) operations;
•Special purpose entities to which assets have been transferred in accordance with the requirements of
APS 120 Securitisation; or
•Insurance.
Retained earnings and equity investments in subsidiary entities excluded from the consolidation at Level 2 are deducted
from capital, with the exception of securitisation special purpose entities.

Subsidiary banking entities
Westpac New Zealand Limited (WNZL), a wholly owned subsidiary entity, is a registered bank incorporated in
New Zealand and regulated by, among others, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) for prudential purposes.
WNZL uses both A-IRB and Standardised methodologies for credit risk and the SMA for operational risk. Other
subsidiary banking entities in the Group include Westpac Bank PNG Limited and Westpac Europe GMBH. For the
purposes of determining Westpac’s capital adequacy, subsidiary banking entities are consolidated at Level 2.
Customer operations
Westpac is one of Australia's leading providers of banking and certain financial services, operating under multiple
brands in Australia and in New Zealand, with a small presence in Europe, North America, Asia and the Pacific. Westpac
provides banking products and services through its digital and online channels, supported by a branch and ATM
network, contact centres and relationship and product managers.
Restrictions and major impediments on the transfer of funds or regulatory capital within the Group
Certain subsidiary banking and trustee entities are subject to specific and local prudential regulation in their own right,
including local capital adequacy requirements. Westpac seeks to ensure that its subsidiary entities are adequately
capitalised and adhere to regulatory requirements at all times. Dividends and capital are repatriated in line with the
Group’s policy subject to subsidiary Board approval and local regulations.
Intra-group exposure limits
Exposures to related entities are managed within the prudential limits prescribed by APRA in APS 222 Associations with
Related Entities
1
. Westpac has an internal limit structure and approval process governing credit exposures to related
entities. This limit structure and approval process, combined with APRA’s prudential limits, is designed to reduce the
potential for unacceptable contagion risk.
Updates to large and related entity exposure limit calculations resulting from the changes to banks' capital
requirements are outlined in the Capital Overview section. These changes are effective from 1 January 2027.
1.
For the purposes of APS 222, subsidiaries controlled by Westpac, other than subsidiaries that form part of the ELE, represent ‘related entities’.
Prudential and internal limits apply to intra-group exposures between the ELE and related entities, both on an individual and aggregate basis.

CAPITAL OVERVIEW
Capital Overview
Capital management strategy
Westpac's capital management strategy is reviewed on an ongoing basis, including through an annual Internal Capital
Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). Key considerations include:
•Regulatory capital minimums together with the capital conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer
comprise the total CET1 requirement. The total CET1 requirement is currently at least 10.25% and 10.50% effective
1 January 2027
1
;
•Strategy, business mix and operations and contingency plans;
•Perspectives of external stakeholders including rating agencies as well as equity and debt investors; and
•A stress testing framework that tests our resilience under a range of adverse economic scenarios.
The Board has determined a target post dividend CET1 capital ratio of above 11.25% in normal operating conditions.
Regulatory developments
APRA's phase out of AT1 capital as eligible bank capital
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 Westpac 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 Westpac 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 these will be based on CET1 capital rather than Tier
1 capital.
APRA consultation on enhancements to bank capital and liquidity frameworks
On 16 March 2026, APRA announced that it will consult on a package of reforms to bank capital and liquidity settings.
The consultation will be run in three workstreams including the following:
•Targeted amendments to the standardised capital framework to increase risk sensitivity and better align capital
requirements with underlying risk;
•Changes to the liquidity framework including consideration of a new Pillar 2 liquidity framework to address risks not
covered by existing Liquidity Coverage Ratio minimum requirements;
•Implementation of a simplified version of the Basel Committee’s Fundamental Review of the Trading Book standard.
On 29 June 2026, APRA commenced consultation on reforms to credit risk capital requirements. The consultation
includes proposed changes to lower standardised risk weights for large domestic public infrastructure exposures, high-
quality unrated corporate exposures and certain residential land acquisition, development and construction exposures.
APRA intends to finalise the credit risk capital changes in the second half of the 2026 calendar year, with a proposed
effective date of 1 April 2027. Consultation on the liquidity and market risk workstreams are expected to commence over
the next 12 months.
RBNZ capital review
On 17 December 2025, the RBNZ 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
2
(including WNZL) will:
•Remove AT1 from the capital stack and phase out the recognition of existing AT1 instruments;
•Require the deposit taker to have a Tier 1 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 the 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%;
1.
Noting that APRA may apply higher CET1 requirements for an individual ADI.
2.New Zealand deposit takers with total assets of NZ$100 billion or more.
OVERVIEWRISK MANAGEMENTOTHER INFORMATION
11
•Introduce more granular and lower standardised risk weights for certain asset classes.
On 18 June 2026, the RBNZ published consultations on an exposure draft of the Capital Standard under the Deposit
Takers Act 2023 (DT Act) and policy proposals for the Crisis Preparedness Standard under the DT Act, including the new
Tier 2 and LAC instrument design and further information on indicative implementation timelines. The new Tier 2 and
LAC instruments will include write-off provisions. The RBNZ has indicated it intends to consult further on the design
and implementation timelines during 2027. The Capital Standard is expected to take effect on 1 December 2028, with
phased implementation.
On 28 July 2026, the RBNZ announced its decisions on changes to the Banking Prudential Requirements (BPRs), to
implement some of the decisions from the 2025 Review of Key Capital Settings, and to come into effect from 1 October
2026. For domestic systemically important banks (including WNZL) these decisions include, as an interim measure,
permitting the issuance of Tier 2 instruments after 1 October 2026 and before 1 December 2028, with a shorter maturity
date or earlier redemption date than would otherwise be permitted under the current settings. Additionally, the
amortisation table for Tier 2 instruments does not apply to short-dated Tier 2 instruments.

FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT
LIQ1: Liquidity Coverage Ratio
Funding and Liquidity Risk ManagementLIQ1: Liquidity Coverage Ratio
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) measures a bank’s ability to meet its liquidity needs under an acute liquidity stress
scenario (prescribed by APRA), measured over a 30-day time frame. LCR is calculated as high-quality liquid assets
(HQLA) as a percentage of net cash outflows (NCO). The minimum regulatory requirement is 100%.
Average LCR is calculated as a simple average of the daily observations over the quarter. The number of data points
used is reported in the table.
Westpac’s average LCR for the quarter was 134% (31 March 2026: 132%).
The increase in average LCR for the quarter ended 30 June 2026 reflects lower average NCOs of $1.1 billion, mainly due
to reduction in wholesale funding maturities compared to the prior quarter. Average liquid assets were higher driven by
higher average short-term funding balance, offset by wider average funding gap and higher average collateral outflows
over the quarter.
HQLA averaged $178.6 billion (31 March 2026: $178.0 billion), increase of $0.6 billion or 0.3% over the quarter, comprising
of cash and balances with central banks, Australian government and semi-government bonds. Westpac also holds other
liquid assets, mainly qualifying RBNZ securities.
Funding is sourced from retail, small business, corporate and institutional customer deposits and wholesale funding.
Westpac seeks to minimise the outflows associated with this funding by targeting customer deposits with lower LCR
outflow rates and actively manages the maturity profile of its wholesale funding portfolio.

GLOSSARY
Glossary
Capital AdequacyDescription
Common Equity Tier 1
(CET1) Capital
Comprises the highest quality components of capital that consists of paid-up share capital, retained profits and
certain reserves, less certain intangible assets, capitalised expenses and software, and investments and retained
profits in insurance and funds management subsidiaries that are not consolidated for capital adequacy purposes.
Internal Ratings-Based
approach (IRB & A-IRB)
These approaches allow banks to use internal estimates of the risks of their loans as inputs into the determination
of the amount of credit risk capital needed to support the organisation. In the Advanced IRB (A-IRB) approach,
banks must supply their own estimates for all three credit parameters – probability of default, loss given default
and exposure at default.
Leverage ratioThe leverage ratio is defined by APRA as Tier 1 capital divided by the “Exposure measure” and is expressed as a
percentage. “Exposure measure” includes on-balance sheet exposures, derivatives exposures, securities financing
transaction (SFT) exposures, and other off-balance sheet exposures.
Risk weighted
assets (RWA)
Assets (both on and off-balance sheet) are risk weighted according to each asset’s inherent potential for default
and what the likely losses would be in case of default. In the case of non-asset backed risks (i.e. market, IRRBB and
operational risk), RWA is determined by multiplying the capital requirements for those risks by 12.5.
Securities financing
transactions (SFT)
APRA defines SFTs as “transactions such as repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and security
lending and borrowing, and margin lending transactions, where the value of the transactions depends on the
market valuation of securities and the transactions are typically subject to margin agreements.”
Tier 1 CapitalThe sum of CET1 and Additional Tier 1 (AT1) Capital. AT1 Capital comprises high quality components of capital
that consists of certain securities not included in CET1, but which include loss absorbing characteristics. AT1
instruments convert into equity and absorb losses when certain triggers are met.
Total CapitalThe sum of Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital. Tier 2 Capital includes subordinated instruments and other
components of capital that, to varying degrees, do not meet the criteria for Tier 1 Capital, but nonetheless
contribute to the overall strength of an ADI and its capacity to absorb losses when certain triggers are met.
Funding and liquidityDescription
Alternative Liquid
Assets (ALA)
Assets that qualify for inclusion in the numerator of the LCR in jurisdictions where there is insufficient supply
of HQLA.
High-quality liquid
assets (HQLA)
Assets which meet APRA’s criteria for inclusion as HQLA in the numerator of the LCR.
Liquidity coverage
ratio (LCR)
An APRA requirement to maintain an adequate level of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets, to meet liquidity
needs for a 30 calendar day period under an APRA-defined severe stress scenario. Absent a situation of financial
stress, the value of the LCR must not be less than 100%. LCR is calculated as the percentage ratio of stock of HQLA,
and qualifying RBNZ securities over the total net cash out-flows in a modelled 30 day defined stressed scenario.
MaturityThe maturity date used is drawn from the contractual maturity date of the customer loans.
Net cash outflows (NCO)Total expected cash outflows minus total expected cash inflows in the specified LCR stress scenario calculated in
accordance with APRA’s liquidity standard.
Net Stable Funding
Ratio (NSFR)
The NSFR is defined as the ratio of the amount of available stable funding (ASF) to the amount of required stable
funding (RSF) defined by APRA. The amount of ASF is the portion of an ADI’s capital and liabilities expected to be a
reliable source of funds over a one year time horizon. The amount of RSF is a function of the liquidity characteristics
and residual maturities of an ADI’s assets and off-balance sheet activities. ADI’s must maintain an NSFR of at
least 100%.

Credit RiskDescription
Credit conversion
factor (CCF)
Represents the proportion of undrawn limit expected to be drawn down when a facility enters default.
Credit risk weighted assets
(Credit RWA)
Credit risk weighted assets represent risk weighted assets (on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet) that relate to
credit exposures and therefore exclude market risk, operational risk and IRRBB.
CorporateCorporate asset class includes all credit exposures to corporate counterparties and public sector entities, including
Income Producing Real Estate (IPRE) with total consolidated annual revenue less than $750 million.
Financial InstitutionsFinancial Institutions asset class covers exposures to financial institution counterparties. Financial institutions
include, but are not limited to, banks, securities firms, insurance companies and leveraged funds. Credit RWA is
measured under FIRB.
Large CorporateLarge Corporate asset class covers exposures to corporate counterparties with consolidated annual revenue
greater than $750 million. Credit RWA is measured under FIRB.
Other RetailOther Retail asset class covers retail exposures which do not meet the criteria of any other retail asset class.
Qualifying
Revolving Retail
Australian Credit Cards, otherwise known as Qualifying Revolving Retail, covers exposure to individuals and not for
business purposes which are revolving, unsecured and unconditionally cancellable.
RBNZ Regulated EntitiesRBNZ regulated exposures are calculated using RBNZ rules and disclosed separately under a New Zealand class.
Residential MortgagesResidential Mortgages asset class covers exposures, to individuals and not for business purposes, fully or partially
secured by residential property. Non-standard mortgages receive 100% standardised risk weight (rather than the
internally-modelled Retail IRB approach).
SecuritisationExposures relating to Westpac’s involvement in securitisation activities range from a seller of its own assets to an
investor in third party transactions and include the provision of securitisation services for its clients.
SME RetailSME Retail asset class covers exposures where the total exposures are <$1.5m, the customer does not hold a
complex product and consolidated annual revenues are <$75m. Exposures are managed as part of a portfolio.
SovereignSovereign asset class covers exposures to central and sub-national governments, central banks, and development
banks or institutions eligible for zero risk weights. Credit RWA is measured under FIRB.
Specialised LendingSpecialised Lending asset class covers exposures subject to the supervisory slotting approach and includes Project,
Object and Commodities Finance.
Project Finance is defined as exposures where revenues generated by a single project, are both the primary source
of repayment and security for the loan. Object Finance is defined as lending for the acquisition of equipment where
the repayment of the loan is dependent on the cash flows generated by the specific assets that have been financed
and pledged or assigned to the lender.
Credit valuation
adjustment (CVA) risk
The risk of mark-to-market losses related to deterioration in the credit quality of a derivative counterparty also
referred to as credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk.
DefaultRefer to non-performing exposures definition.
Expected credit
losses (ECL)
Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of the cash shortfalls expected to result from defaults
over the relevant time frame. They are determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes and taking into
account the time value of money, past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
Exposure at default (EAD)EAD is calculated at facility level and includes outstandings as well as the proportion of committed undrawn that is
expected to be drawn in the event of a future default.
IndustryCredit exposures in non-retail asset subclasses are assigned an ANZSIC code based on their primary industry.
ANZSIC codes are then allocated to disclosed industry groups. Credit exposures in retail asset subclasses are
classified as “retail lending”.
Non-performing exposuresNon-performing exposures, are those captured by the regulatory definition of default, contained in APS 220 Credit
Risk Management and the RBNZ's Banking Prudential Requirements for New Zealand regulated exposures. Default
occurs when either one, or both, of the following has happened:

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Disclosure regarding forward-looking statements
The information contained in this report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements”.
Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements appear in a
number of places in this report and include statements regarding Westpac’s current intent, belief or expectations
with respect to its business and operations, macro and micro economic and market conditions, results of operations
and financial condition and performance, capital adequacy and 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.
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’, 'objective', ‘ambition’, 'pursue' or other similar words, are used to identify forward-looking statements. These
statements reflect Westpac’s 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 Westpac’s control (and the
control of Westpac’s 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 Westpac.
Forward-looking statements may also be made, verbally or in writing, by members of Westpac’s management or Board
in connection with this report. Such statements are subject to the same limitations, uncertainties, assumptions and
disclaimers set out in this report.
There can be no assurance that future developments or performance will align with Westpac’s expectations or that
the effect of future developments on Westpac will be those anticipated. Actual results could differ materially from
those Westpac expects or which are expressed or implied in forward-looking statements, depending on various factors
including, but not limited to, those described in the risk factors in Westpac’s First Half 2026 Risk Factors. When relying
on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Westpac, investors and others relying on information
in this report should carefully consider such factors and other uncertainties and events.
Except as required by law, Westpac assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in this
report, whether from new information, future events, conditions or otherwise, after the date of this report.
