Key capital ratios



APRA’s revised capital framework (Basel III) became effective on 1 January 2023 and included updated prudential

standards for capital adequacy and credit risk capital. The revisions included amendments to capital requirements,

revisions to the calculation of credit Risk Weighted Asset (RWA), introduction of a capital floor and introduction of a

minimum leverage ratio. A summary of the changes can be found in Appendix I. These revisions are reflected in the

disclosed capital ratios at 30 June 2023 and 31 March 2023. Prior periods have not been restated with capital

reported under APRA’s, then applicable, capital framework.

Third Quarter 2023 – First Half 2023

Westpac’s Level 2 common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 11.86% at 30 June 2023, 42 basis points lower

than 31 March 2023. The CET1 capital ratio was lower than 31 March 2023 due to payment of the 2023 interim

dividend, an increase in total RWA and higher capital deductions mostly from capitalised software and other

expenditure. These impacts were partially offset by the contribution of earnings over the quarter.

Third Quarter 2023 – Third Quarter 2022

Westpac’s Level 2 CET1 capital ratio at 30 June 2023 was 111 basis points higher than 30 June 2022 due to

earnings, less payment of dividends, divestment benefits and a reduction in total RWA. Total RWA reduced from 30

June 2022 by $18.0 billion or 3.8%. Credit RWA reduced by $19.5 billion, mostly from the implementation of APRA’s

revised capital framework which reduced credit RWA by $23.7 billion and resulted in a 62 basis points addition to

the CET1 ratio.

Total RWA increased by 1.6% since 31 March 2023 to $460.0 billion from both credit and non-credit RWA

increases.

Credit RWA increased by $2.2 billion. Key movements included:

 A $1.9 billion increase from higher lending across Corporate, Business Lending, Property Finance and

Residential Mortgages;

 A $1.2 billion increase from deteriorating credit quality from higher early cycle delinquencies in Residential

Mortgages offset by improved credit quality in Corporate;

 A $0.7 billion decrease from foreign currency translation impacts, predominantly the appreciation of the A$

against the NZ$; and

 A $0.2 billion decrease from counterparty credit risk primarily due to a decrease in the mark-to-market value of

derivatives from changes in underlying foreign currency exchange rates.

Non-credit RWA were $4.9 billion higher. Key movements included:

 A $7.9 billion increase in interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) RWA from:

 $5.4 billion due to a higher embedded loss from higher interest rates; and

 Operational RWA: $1.5 billion decrease due to lower capital requirements; and

 Market RWA: $0.6 billion decrease due to lower Risks Not In Value at Risk (RNIV), offset by an increase from

portfolio movements.

Exposure at Default (EAD)

EAD increased $3.8 billion over the quarter. Key movements include:

 A $8.6bn billion increase from higher lending mainly across Residential Mortgages, Corporate, Business

Lending, Property Finance and Securitisation asset classes;

 A $2.4 billion decrease in Sovereign exposures, as part of liquidity management; and

 A $2.3 billion decrease in New Zealand exposures, mainly within sovereign exposures.

Tier 2 capital movements for third quarter 2023

Over the quarter, the Group issued A$2.9 billion of Tier 2 capital instruments and redeemed A$0.9 billion of Tier 2

instruments. The net impact of these transactions was an increase in total capital of approximately 43bps.

On 2 December 2021, APRA announced a requirement for domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs) including

Westpac, to increase total capital requirements by 4.5 percentage points of RWA to meet additional loss absorbing

capacity. This includes an interim total capital requirement of 16.75% from 1 January 2024 and a final total capital

requirement from 1 January 2026 of 18.25%. The increase in total capital is expected to be met through additional

Tier 2 capital.

Leverage Ratio

2


The leverage ratio represents the amount of Tier 1 capital relative to an exposure measure

2

. At 30 June 2023,

Westpac’s leverage ratio was 5.36%, down 10 basis points from 31 March 2023. This was mostly driven by lower

Tier 1 capital following payment of the 2023 interim dividend.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)

Westpac’s average LCR for the quarter ending 30 June 2023 was 138% (31 March 2023: 135%). The increase in

the ratio was mainly driven by an increase in average holdings of liquid assets partially offset by an increase in net

cash outflows.

recalibration of the model.

Pillar 3 report
Introduction



5 | Westpac Group June 2023 Pillar 3 report


Westpac Banking Corporation is an Authorised Deposit-taking Institution (ADI) subject to regulation by APRA. APRA

has accredited Westpac to apply advanced models permitted by the Basel III global capital adequacy regime to the

measurement of its regulatory capital requirements. Westpac uses the Internal Ratings-Based approach (IRB) for

credit risk and the Standardised Measurement Approach (SMA) for operational risk.

In accordance with APS330 Public Disclosure, financial institutions that have received the Advanced IRB (AIRB)

accreditation, such as Westpac, are required to disclose prudential information about their risk management

practices on a semi-annual basis. A subset of this information must be disclosed quarterly.

In addition to this report, the regulatory disclosures section of the Westpac website

1

contains the reporting

requirements for:

 Capital instruments under Attachment B of APS330; and

 The identification of potential Global-Systemically Important Banks (G-SIB) under Attachment H of APS330

(disclosed annually).

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 CET1 capital, written off, or its terms and conditions are

changed.

Pillar 3 report
Group structure



6 | Westpac Group June 2023 Pillar 3 report


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

2

.

The Westpac Group

2


The following diagram shows the Level 3 conglomerate group and illustrates the different tiers of regulatory

consolidation.


Accounting consolidation

33


The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries (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:

 insurance;

 acting as manager, responsible entity, approved trustee, trustee or similar role in relation to funds management;

 non-financial (commercial) operations; or

 special purpose entities to which assets have been transferred in accordance with the requirements of APS120

Securitisation.

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 the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ). WNZL uses both the Advanced IRB and

Standardised methodologies for credit risk and the standardised measurement approach (SMA) for operational risk.

Other subsidiary banking entities in the Group include Westpac Bank PNG Limited and Westpac Europe Limited.

For the purposes of determining Westpac’s capital adequacy subsidiary banking entities are consolidated at Level

2.

Restrictions and major impediments on the transfer of funds or regulatory capital within the Group

Certain subsidiary banking and trustee entities are subject to local prudential regulation in their own right, including

capital adequacy requirements and investment or intra-group exposure limits. 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.

Minimum capital (‘thin capitalisation’) rules

Tax legislation in most jurisdictions in which the Group operates prescribes minimum levels of capital that must be

retained in that jurisdiction to avoid a portion of the interest costs incurred in the jurisdiction ceasing to be tax

deductible. Capital for these purposes includes both contributed capital and non-distributed retained earnings.

Westpac seeks to maintain sufficient capital/retained earnings in these entities to comply with these rules.

Tax costs associated with repatriation

Repatriation of retained earnings (and capital) may result in tax being payable in either the jurisdiction from which

the repatriation occurs or Australia on receipt of the relevant amounts. This cost would reduce the amount actually

repatriated.

Intra-group exposure limits

1

Exposures to related entities are managed within the prudential limits prescribed by APRA in APS222 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.

Prudential regulation of subsidiary entities

On 23 March 2021, the RBNZ issued two notices to WNZL under section 95 of the Banking (Prudential Supervision)

Act 1989 requiring WNZL to supply two external reviews to the RBNZ (the ‘Risk Governance Review’ and the

‘Liquidity Review’). These reviews only applied to WNZL and not to Westpac in Australia or its NZ Branch.

The Risk Governance Review related to the effectiveness of WNZL’s risk governance. This review was completed,

in November 2021 and identified deficiencies in WNZL’s risk governance practices and operations which WNZL

sought to address through a programme of work overseen by the WNZL Board. In April 2023, the RBNZ

acknowledged the decision of WNZL’s Board to approve closure of the Risk Governance programme of work, noted

the improvements made by WNZL to date and that any remaining activity will be overseen by the WNZL Board Risk

and Compliance Committee.

The Liquidity Review related to the effectiveness of WNZL’s actions to improve liquidity risk management and the

associated risk culture. The review was, completed in May 2022 and did not identify any material control gaps or

issues and made some recommendations for improvement, which are being implemented as part of WNZL’s

continuous improvement activity. Since then, WNZL has undertaken further assurance work and continues to review

and enhance the control framework.

From 31 March 2021, the RBNZ amended WNZL’s conditions of registration, requiring WNZL to discount the value

of its liquid assets by approximately 14%. From 15 August 2022, the RBNZ reduced the overlay quantum to

approximately 7%, which at 30 June 2023 was $1.5 billion. The overlay will remain in place until the RBNZ is satisfied

that control assurance work has been completed.


1

For the purposes of APS222, 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 management strategy

1


Westpac evaluates its approach to capital management through an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process

(ICAAP). Key features include:

 The development of a capital management strategy, including consideration of regulatory capital minimums,

capital buffers and contingency plans. The current regulatory capital minimums together with the capital

conservation buffer (CCB) and countercyclical capital buffer are the Total CET1 requirement. The Total CET1

Requirement for Westpac is at least 10.25%

1

based on an industry minimum CET1 requirement of 4.5% plus a

capital conservation buffer of 4.75% and a countercyclical capital buffer of 1.0%

2

.

 Consideration of regulatory capital requirements and the perspectives of external stakeholders including rating

agencies as well as equity and debt investors; and

 A stress testing framework that challenges the capital measures, coverage and capital requirements including

the impact of adverse economic scenarios.


The Board has determined that Westpac will target a CET1 operating capital range of between 11.0% and 11.5%,

in normal operating conditions.

Capital requirements



APRA’s revised capital framework became effective on 1 January 2023. This included updated prudential standards

for public disclosures, capital adequacy and credit risk capital. A summary of these changes has been included in

Appendix I. A key change of the framework has been asset classifications used to determine RWA and the use of

the foundation IRB approach (FIRB) for some exposure classes. Under FIRB, an ADI must provide its own estimates

of Probably of Default (PD) and maturity and rely on supervisory estimates of Loss Given Default (LGD) and EAD.

The table below summarises Westpac’s revised credit risk asset classes under APRA’s revised capital framework.

A further explanation of the new asset classes is set out in Appendix I.

Non-performing and past due loans

This table discloses non-performing and past due loans by credit asset class. Under the revised capital framework,

ADI’s are required to disclose non-performing exposures which are exposures in default aligned to the definition in

APS220 Credit Risk Management. Under APS 220, the initial recognition of default under APS220 is where either

one, or both, of the following has happened:

 Westpac considers that the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to Westpac in full, and without

recourse to actions such as realising available security;

 the borrower is 90 days or more past-due on a credit obligation to Westpac.

The revised definition also requires ADI’s to classify an exposure as non-performing for an additional 90 days after

returning to performing.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio

1

The average LCR for the quarter was 138%, up from 135% at 31 March 2023. APRA’s regulatory minimum is 100%.

The increase in the period was mainly driven by an increase in holdings of liquid assets and a decrease in net cash

outflows.

Liquid assets included in the LCR comprise High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) and additional qualifying RBNZ

securities.

The portfolio of HQLA averaged $184.1 billion

1

, up from $182.9 billion from the prior quarter.

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. The Group maintains a

buffer over the regulatory minimum of 100%.

Pillar 3 report
Appendix I - APRA revised capital framework


Westpac Group June 2023 Pillar 3 report | 21


APRA’s revised capital framework (Basel III) became effective on 1 January 2023 and included updated prudential

standards for capital adequacy and credit risk capital. The objectives of the revised capital framework are to provide

flexibility for banks to operate in all environments including in times of stress, enhance risk sensitivity and improve

comparability with international standards. Revisions include:

 Capital requirements: Total CET1 Requirement for D-SIBs (including Westpac), is 10.25% (noting that APRA

may apply higher CET1 requirements for an individual ADI). This comprises:

 Minimum CET1 of 4.5%;

 Capital conservation buffer (CCB) of 4.75%; and

 Countercyclical capital buffer of 1.0%.

 Calculation of Credit RWA: Several changes with the most significant including:

 Asset classifications used to determine RWA;

 Greater use of internal modelling within property finance and mortgages which reduced risk weightings;

 Higher capital requirements for higher risk segments such as interest only and investor mortgages;

 Revised credit conversion factors (CCFs) for the calculation of off-balance sheet exposures which has

reduced exposure at default. CCFs are percentage values used to convert an off-balance sheet exposure

into an on-balance sheet equivalent; and

 New Zealand RWA largely determined by the RBNZ requirements which increased RWA compared to prior

periods.

 Introduction of a capital floor which limits the capital benefit available to advanced banks to no more than 72.5%

of the RWA outcomes available under the standardised approach; and

 Introduction of a minimum leverage ratio of 3.5% and amendments of the leverage exposure calculation.

Implementation of the revised capital framework reduced credit RWA by $23.7 billion. Key drivers were:

 Property Finance: Internal modelling has reduced the risk weight of property finance from 85% to 61%. These

exposures were formerly calculated using the IRB slotting approach;

 Residential Mortgages: Revisions to mortgage models reduced RWA, although additional capital was required

for higher risk segments, including standardised risk weights for some exposures. Overall, this change resulted

in a reduction in the mortgage risk weight by 110 basis points to 23.9%; and

 Off-balance sheet exposures: EAD has reduced by $40.4 billion mainly related to changes in CCFs for non-

retail exposures.


Changes to credit risk capital

APRA’s revised capital framework included updated prudential standards for credit risk capital (APS113 Capital

Adequacy: Internal Ratings-Based Approach to Credit Risk). In line with the revised standard an ADI must categorise

banking book exposures into four broad IRB APS113 asset classes (Corporate, Sovereign, Financial Institution and

Retail) and apply the prescribed treatment for those classes to each credit exposure within them for the purposes of

deriving its regulatory capital requirement. APS113 cascades these asset classes into further sub-asset classes as

per below.

APRA’s revised capital framework results in changes to previously reported credit asset classes. This includes

changes to credit RWA calculations from AIRB to a foundation IRB approach (FIRB) for some exposure classes.

Under FIRB, an ADI must provide its own estimates of PD and maturity and rely on supervisory estimates of LGD

and EAD.

The below table sets out Westpac’s revised credit risk asset classes under APRA’s revised standards.

Classes

Previously Reported

Credit Asset Classes

Revised Asset Class definition

Corporate Corporate The Corporate asset class covers credit exposures where consolidated annual

revenue < $750m, but greater than $75m, and does not meet the definition of

Business Lending or Small Business exposures. Large Corporate exposures

previously included in Corporate are identified as a separate asset class, with

credit RWA measured under FIRB (previously measured under AIRB).

The annual revenue threshold between Corporate and Business Lending has

been updated from $50m to $75m, resulting in a portion of exposures shifting from

Corporate to Business Lending (eligible for firm-size adjustment).

Non-bank financial institutions have been transferred from the Corporate asset

class and included in the new Financial Institutions asset class (expanded from

the previous ‘Bank’ asset class), with credit RWA measured under FIRB

(previously measured under AIRB).

Business Lending Business Lending Business Lending exposures are credit exposures to business customers with

annual revenue less than $75m. The annual revenue threshold between

Revised Asset Class definition

Small Business Corporate and Business Lending changed under APRA’s revised framework from

$50m to $75m, resulting in a portion of exposures shifting from Corporate to

Small Business exposures are business customer where total exposures is less

than $1.5m or the customer holds a complex product. APRA’s revised capital

framework increased the Small Business exposure threshold from $1m to $1.5m,

resulting in a portion of exposures shifting from Business Lending to Small

Business.

Non-bank financial institutions have been transferred from the Business Lending

asset class and included in the new Financial Institutions asset class (expanded

from the previous ‘Bank’ asset class), with credit RWA measured under FIRB

(previously under AIRB).

Property Finance Specialised Lending Income-producing Real Estate (IPRE) exposures within specialised lending risk-

weighted according to the AIRB approach (previously supervisory slotting) and

now classified as Property finance. Property finance represents exposures where

repayments depend primarily on the cash flows generated by the asset or other

real estate assets owned by the borrower.

Large Corporate Corporate

Large Corporate exposures are credit exposures to corporate counterparties

(where consolidated annual revenue > $750m) and are identified as a separate

asset class, with credit RWA measured under FIRB (previously measured under

AIRB).

Sovereign Sovereign Sovereign exposures are credit exposures to central and sub-national

governments, central banks, and development banks or institutions eligible for

zero risk weights. Sovereign credit RWA measured under FIRB (previously under

AIRB).

Domestic Public Sector Entities (PSEs) have been transferred from the Sovereign

asset class to the Corporate asset class.

Financial Institutions Corporate

Business Lending

Bank

Financial Institution exposures are credit exposures to financial institution

counterparties. Financial institutions include, but are not limited to, banks,

securities firms, insurance companies and leveraged funds. Non-bank financial

institution exposures have been transferred from the Corporate and Business

lending to the Financial Institutions asset class. Financial institutions credit RWA

measured under FIRB (previously AIRB).

Residential Mortgages Residential Mortgages Asset class remains materially the same; however, non-standard mortgages

receive 100% standardised risk weight (rather than the internally-modelled Retail

IRB approach) and mortgages within New Zealand are presented within the New

Zealand asset class.

Small Business Small Business

Business Lending

Small Business exposures are business customer where total exposures is less

than $1.5m or the customer holds a complex product. APRA’s revised capital

framework increased the Small Business exposure threshold from $1m to $1.5m,

resulting in a portion of exposures shifting from Business Lending to Small

Business.

Specialised Lending Specialised Lending

Specialised Lending includes Project Finance (including Object Finance)

exposures. This exposure class excludes Property Finance exposures that are

now a separate asset class and risk-weighted according to the AIRB approach.

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.

Disclosure regarding forward-looking statements


24 | Westpac Group June 2023 Pillar 3 report


The information contained in this report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the

meaning of section 21E of the U.S. 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 report and include statements regarding Westpac’s intent, belief or current expectations

with respect to its business and operations, macro and micro economic and market conditions, results of operations

and financial condition, capital adequacy 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’, ‘ambition’ or other similar words are used to identify forward-looking statements, or otherwise identify

forward-looking statements. These forward-looking 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 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 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 section titled ‘Risk Factors’ in Westpac’s 2023 Interim Financial

Results Announcement. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Westpac,

investors and others 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.
