The material contained in this presentation is intended to be general background information on Westpac Banking Corporation (Westpac) and its activities.
The information is supplied in summary form and is therefore not necessarily complete. It is not intended that it be relied upon as advice to investors or potential investors, who should consider seeking independent
professional advice depending upon their specific investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs. The material contained in this presentation may include information derived from publicly available sources
that have not been independently verified. No representation or warranty is made as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information. This presentation should be read in conjunction with our 2024 Interim
Financial Results. This includes references to our systems and processes, which may not always be 100% effective and are subject to risks and other factors, including those described in the section titled ‘Risk factors’ in our

All amounts are in Australian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
The financial information in this presentation is presented in accordance Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) and is also compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards.
In assessing Westpac’s performance and that of our operating segments we use a number of financial measures, including amounts, measures and ratios that are presented on a non-AAS basis. Non-AAS financial
measures and ratios do not have standardised meanings under AAS. As such they are unlikely to be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as
a substitute for, the AAS results.
Refer to Westpac’s 2024 Interim Financial Results for the six months ended 31 March 2024 available at www.westpac.com.au in the section “Results Announcement to the market - Introduction” for details of the non-AAS
financial measures.
This presentation contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the US 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 presentation and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations with respect to our 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.
We use 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 to identify forward-looking statements, or otherwise identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our 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 our control (and the control of our 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 presentation. Such statements are subject to the same limitations, uncertainties, assumptions and disclaimers set out in this presentation.
There can be no assurance that future developments or performance will align with our expectations or that the effect of future developments on us 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 our 2024 Interim Financial
Results for the six months ended 31 March 2024 available at www.westpac.com.au. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to Westpac, investors and others relying on information in
this presentation should carefully consider such factors and other uncertainties and events. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements contained in this
presentation, whether from new information, future events, conditions or otherwise, after the date of this presentation.
Further important information regarding climate change and sustainability-related statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements and other representations relating to environment, social and governance (ESG) topics, including but not limited to climate change, net-zero, climate resilience,
natural capital, emissions intensity, human rights and other sustainability related statements, commitments, targets, projections, scenarios, risk and opportunity assessments, pathways, forecasts, estimated projections
and other proxy data. These are subject to known and unknown risks, and there are significant uncertainties, limitations, risks and assumptions in the metrics and modelling on which these statements rely.
In particular, the metrics, methodologies and data relating to climate and sustainability are rapidly evolving and maturing, including variations in approaches and common standards in estimating and calculating
emissions, and uncertainty around future climate and sustainability related policy and legislation. There are inherent limits in the current scientific understanding of climate change and its impacts. Some material
contained in this presentation may include information including, without limitation, methodologies, modelling, scenarios, reports, benchmarks, tools and data, derived from publicly available or government or industry
sources that have not been independently verified. No representation or warranty is made as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of such information. There is a risk that the estimates, judgements, assumptions,
views, models, scenarios or projections used by Westpac may turn out to be incorrect. These risks may cause actual outcomes, including the ability to meet commitments and targets, to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in this presentation. The climate and sustainability related forward-looking statements made in this presentation are not guarantees or predictions of future performance and Westpac gives no
representation, warranty or assurance (including as to the quality, accuracy or completeness of these statements), nor guarantee that the occurrence of the events expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement
will occur. There are usually differences between forecast and actual results because events and actual circumstances frequently do not occur as forecast and these differences may be material. Westpac will continue to
review and develop its approach to ESG as this subject area matures
