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. Disclosures 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.

Dec-25

The Level 2 CET1 capital ratio at 31 December 2025 was 12.31%, 22 basis points lower than 30 September 2025. Key

movements included:

•First Quarter 2026 net profit: A 42 basis point increase;

•Payment of the 2025 final ordinary dividend: A 59 basis point reduction;

•Risk weighted assets (RWA) movement: A 9 basis point reduction with higher credit RWA partly offset by lower

operational RWA; and

•Capital deductions and other items: A 4 basis point increase mainly due to lower deferred tax asset and capitalised

software deductions.

The Level 1 CET1 capital ratio was 12.52% at 31 December 2025, 22 basis points lower than 30 September 2025 with

movements broadly in line with Level 2.

Tier 2 capital

The Group issued $1.0 billion of Tier 2 capital instruments over the quarter. The impact of these issuances was an

increase in the total capital ratio of approximately 22 basis points. In addition, foreign currency revaluations reduced Tier

2 capital mainly due to the appreciation of the AUD against the USD.

Domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs), including Westpac, have a minimum total capital requirement of

18.25% from 1 January 2026. Westpac's total capital ratio of 21.57% at 31 December 2025 exceeds this required level.

We expect any additional Tier 2 issuance needed due to APRA's removal of AT1 capital instruments to be manageable

over the transition period.

Total RWA increased by 0.5% to $452.4 billion over the quarter with higher credit RWA partly offset by lower

operational RWA.

Credit RWA increased by $3.3 billion. Key movements included:

•A $10.5 billion increase from higher lending primarily in Corporate and Residential Mortgages;

•A $3.2 billion decrease due to improvements in Residential Mortgages delinquency rates and Corporate credit

quality metrics;

•A $2.3 billion decrease from the removal of a $1 billion APRA RWA overlay related to the usage of a customer risk

grade proxy on a small sub-set of non-retail exposures and data refinements mainly in Corporate;

•A $1.0 billion decrease from foreign currency translation impacts, predominately the appreciation of the AUD against

the NZD and USD; and

•A $0.7 billion decrease from counterparty credit risk and mark-to-market related credit risk due to decreases in the

mark-to-market value of derivatives from changes in underlying foreign currency rates.

Non-credit RWA decreased by $2.5 billion. Key movements included:

•Operational RWA: $4.7 billion decrease from:

–A $6.25 billion reduction following the removal of the remaining $500 million operational risk capital overlay; and

–A $1.6 billion increase due to the annual SMA operational risk review based on the latest annual audited

financial statements.

•IRRBB RWA: A $1.4 billion increase from the unwind of the embedded gain component due to higher interest rates

and additional capital required for increased core deposit hedging partly offset by reductions resulting from the

revised APS 117 standard changes; and

•Market RWA: A $0.9 billion increase mainly from higher market risk exposures.

The capital floor RWA adjustment as at 31 December 2025 was $1.5 billion driven mainly from higher lending in

Corporate and Residential Mortgages.

Leverage ratio

The leverage ratio represents the percentage of Tier 1 capital relative to the Exposure Measure

1

. At 31 December 2025,

Westpac's leverage ratio was 5.00%, down 7 basis points from 30 September 2025. The ratio remains well above APRA's

current regulatory minimum requirement of 3.5%. The decrease in the leverage ratio was mainly due to higher total

exposures mostly from higher lending and lower Tier 1 capital following the payment of the 2025 final ordinary dividend,

partly offset by lower securities financing transaction (SFT) exposures.

APRA has announced changes to banks' capital requirements with effect from 1 January 2027, as outlined in the Capital

Overview section. This includes changes to CET1, Tier 1, total capital and the leverage ratio.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)

Westpac’s average LCR for the quarter ended 31 December 2025 was 133% (30 September 2025: 137%), well above the

regulatory minimum of 100%. The decrease in the ratio was due to lower average liquid assets.

Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)

Westpac had an NSFR of 112% as of 31 December 2025 (30 September 2025: 113%) and continues to be above the

regulatory minimum of 100%. The decrease in the ratio is attributable to an increase in required stable funding driven by

higher lending, partially offset by an increase in available stable funding driven by growth in customer deposits.

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.

APS 110 Capital Adequacy outlines the overall framework adopted by APRA for the purpose of assessing the capital adequacy of an ADI.

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 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 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.

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

Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book

APRA’s revised APS 117 Capital Adequacy: Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book came into effect on 1 October 2025.

The revised requirements include implementation of APRA’s reaccreditation outcomes for Westpac’s IRRBB models

which are reflected in the 31 December 2025 amounts of this Pillar 3 report. Comparatives remain unchanged and are

based on the prior APS 117.

APRA's phase out of Additional Tier 1 (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 these revised standards, 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 will be based on CET1 capital rather than Tier

1 capital.

RBNZ capital review

On 17 December 2025, the RBNZ published its decisions on the key capital settings for deposit takers. For Group 1

deposit takers

2

, including WNZL, the key proposals include:

•A total CET1 capital ratio requirement of 12%, with a total capital ratio requirement of 15% (including a Prudential

Capital Buffer ratio of 6%) and an additional Loss Absorbing Capacity (LAC) requirement of 6%;

•Tier 2 capital and LAC instruments will be required to be issued internally to parents (for example to WBC) and LAC

will take a form similar to Tier 2 capital;

•Removal of AT1 instruments from the capital stack;

•More granular standardised risk weights, including lower risk weights in some areas; and

•Setting the long-run level for the counter-cyclical capital buffer component of the Prudential Capital Buffer at 1%.

The RBNZ will consult on the LAC instrument design and implementation timelines for options affecting both future LAC

and Tier 2 instruments and the phase-out of existing AT1 and Tier 2 instruments during 2026 and 2027.

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 as 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).

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 133% compared to 137% for the Fourth Quarter 2025 and continues to be

above the regulatory minimum of 100% in line with the Group’s liquidity risk tolerance.

The decrease in average LCR for the quarter ended 31 December 2025 reflects a decrease in average liquid assets,

mainly driven by higher average customer funding gap, the impact of the 2025 final ordinary dividend payment, and

lower average RBNZ eligible securities, partially offset by higher average net wholesale funding issuance. Average

NCOs were also lower during the quarter, mostly driven by lower wholesale funding maturities and decrease in

unsecured wholesale funding, partially offset by increase in Retail & SME deposits.

HQLA averaged $177.9 billion over the quarter compared to $182.6 billion for the Fourth Quarter 2025, comprising of

cash and balances with central banks, and Australian government and semi-government bonds. Westpac also holds

other HQLA, 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.

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 1The sum of CET1 and Additional Tier 1 Capital (AT1). 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 liquidity

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 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 loss (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.

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:

•Westpac considers that the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to Westpac in full, 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 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 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’ 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

including, but not limited to, those described in the risk factors in Westpac’s 2025 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.
