Anthony Miller, Chief Executive Officer

This has been a solid year at Westpac and I’m pleased with the result we are delivering today. With

a very strong balance sheet and momentum in our target segments, the opportunity to deliver more

for our customers, people and shareholders is exciting. We’re focused on relentless execution of our

strategy and delivering every day for our customers.

We’ve managed margins in a competitive environment and our capital position is strong, providing us

with plenty of flexibility as we execute our strategy. It was pleasing to see APRA recognise the work

we’ve done to improve risk culture, lifting its enforceable undertaking and removing the additional

capital overlay. Strong risk management is not a destination, it’s a discipline. We are focused on making

it our differentiator.

I’m pleased with the growth we’ve achieved in deposits and loans, up 7% and 6% respectively. In

our Consumer and Institutional divisions, deposits increased 10%. Institutional lending is up 17% and

business lending rose 15%. Notably, we saw 22% growth in our agribusiness portfolio, with the majority

from existing customers.

This reflects our focus and investment in regional Australia. We’ve opened a new service centre in

Moree, with additional locations to come. We run the best banking app in Australia

1

. Our challenge and

goal is to deliver a superb customer experience seamlessly across our branch, virtual bank and digital

offering every day.

Transformation: Foundations in place
Westpac has undergone significant change in the past year. Our executive team is now in place,

our people are our competitive advantage and we're focused on delivering outstanding results for

our customers.

UNITE is critical for simplifying our products, processes and systems, making it easier for customers

and our people while reducing operating costs. It’s a significant project. We’ve completed discovery and

planning and are now executing. We have set our goals and will share progress regularly.

At the same time, we’re investing in market-leading capabilities. Our business lending origination

platform, BizEdge has reduced the average time to decision by 45%. We’ve also begun trialling Westpac

One, our cloud-based digital platform that will transform how institutional customers manage their

liquidity, payments and FX. These capabilities are backed by a continued investment in people, including

hiring new customer-facing bankers.

Further simplifying the bank, we have entered into an agreement for the sale of the RAMS mortgage

portfolio. This comes after it was closed to new business in August last year. This transaction will

significantly streamline Westpac’s mortgage operations, reduce run costs across the business and

provide further strategic flexibility.

Managing costs effectively is essential. This year’s increase in expenses reflects our focused investment

in UNITE, our people and our brand. We’ve also been working to ensure we have the right investment

in the right places and the right people in the right seats. This has meant we’ve made some changes to

teams to better serve our customers and deliver outcomes. We remain focused on reducing our cost to

income ratio over time.

Looking ahead

Australia remains well positioned in light of ongoing global disruption and economic uncertainty.

The majority of our customers have welcomed interest rate relief over the past year and this is helping

fuel a modest recovery in private demand. For businesses, we’ve seen improving conditions but continue

to observe challenges for small business across materials, labour and energy costs.

Notwithstanding the relief from interest rates, challenges remain with inflation and unemployment

increasing in recent months. This will be a delicate balance for the RBA to manage.

Globally, uncertainty remains but this is an opportunity for Australia and we are in a good position to

work through any impacts from events such as the ongoing geopolitical and trade tensions. Our stability

and reliability remain differentiators in the current environment.

I’m optimistic about the outlook for the Australian economy. Many of our customers have overcome

significant challenges in recent years and we remain ready to help those who need support. Going

forward we have a clear strategy and priorities, we are well positioned in the market and have the right

team in place who are focused on relentless execution for our customers.
