Key movements in the CET1 cap i tal ratio over the half were: • Second Half 2022 cash earnings of $3,467 million, excluding notable items (73bps increase); • Divestment benefit s (1 8 bps increase) mostly from the sale of our Australian Life Insurance business ; offs et by • Paym ent of the 2022 inter i m dividend (45bps decrease); • An increase in RWA, (38bps decrease) mostly from higher interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB) RWA due to a higher regulatory embedded loss from increased market interest rates (36bp s dec rease). Wh ile exposure at defau l t increased 3% over the half, the impact on RWA was largely offset by improvements in credit metrics ; • Capital deductions and other capital move ments ( 9 bps decrease) mostly from a higher deduction fo r ca p italised software (7bps decreas e ) and capitali sed expenditure (3bps decrease) and lower other comprehensive income from the revaluation of debt sec uritie s (3bps decrease ) . These were partly offset by remeasurement of the defi ned benefit superannuation obligation (5bps increase); and • Foreign currenc y i mpacts of ( 3 bp s decrease ) 1 fro m the depreciation of the A $ against the US$ partly offset by the appre ciation o f the A$ against the NZ$ . 1 R e f lectin g th e ne t i m pact of m ovements in the fo reign c ur rency tr anslation r es erve a n d R WA .

Non - credit risk RWA were $15.2 billion higher, mainly from a $15. 1 billion incr ease in IRRBB RWA over the half. The increase in IRRBB RWA was mainly due to a higher regul atory embedded loss from in creased market interest rates. A regulatory e m bedded loss occurs as We stpac’s equity is invested over a three - year investment horizon, com pared to the regulatory investment term of one year. The $2.4 billion incre ase in credit r isk R W A included: • A $4.7 bi llion increase from higher lending mostly acr o ss residential mortgages , corporate and business le nding partly offset by lower lending in o ther retail; • A $1.3 billion increase associated with derivative exposures ( counterparty cr edit r isk and mark - to - marke t related credit risk) primarily due to increases in the mark - to - market value of derivatives from higher foreign currency translation effects ; • A $0.5 billion increa s e in foreign cu rrency translation impacts mostly from the depre ciation of the A$ against the U S$; partly offset by • A $4.1 billion net decrease from movements in risk weightings. This includes an $8.2 billion decrease from the impact of improved credit metrics for mortga ges and corporate lending, and imp lementation of a revised model for business lending. This reductio n was partly offset by our application of the mortgage risk weight floor of 25% which resulted in a $4. 1 billion increase in RWAs over the half . A dditiona l Tier 1 an d Tier 2 Ca pital m o ve me nts f o r First H alf 20 2 2 On 20 July 2022, Westpac issued $1.51 billion of Additional Tier 1 c apital (Westpac Capital Notes 9), of which approximately $ 0 .69 billion comprised reinvestment by holders of Westpac Capital Notes 2 (WCN 2). O n 23 September 202 2, W estpac redeeme d approxi mately $0.62 billion WCN 2 that remained on issue. The net impact of these t ransactions was an incr ease in Tier 1 capital of a p p roximately 4bps. On 2 December 2021, APRA announced a requirement for d omestic s ystemically i mportant b an k s (D - SIBs) (including Westpac) to incre ase their tota l capital requirement by 4.5 percentage points of RWA under the current capital adequacy framework to be met by 1 January 2026. The addi t ional total capital is expected to be met through additional Tier 2 Cap ital 1 . During the half, Westpac i s sued JPY 26 bi llion, US$1.0 billion an d SGD 450m of Tier 2 capital instruments. West pac also redeemed JPY 12 billion, JPY 13.5 billion, HKD 600 milli o n a nd SGD 325 million of Tier 2 c apital instruments. The net impa ct was an increase in the total regulato r y capital rati o of approximately 33bps . T his will assist Westpac to meet APRA’s revised requirements. L everage R a tio The leverage rat io rep rese nts the amo u nt of Tie r 1 cap it al rela t i v e to exposure 2 . At 3 0 Septe mb er 20 22 , Westpac’s l e verag e ratio was 5. 6 1 %, up 1 bp sin ce 3 1 March 202 2 due to an increase i n Tier 1 capital, partly offse t by higher on balance shee t expos u res . 1 I n our funding, this increase in total capital is likely to be offset b y a decrease in long - te rm w holesale funding. 2 As defin ed u n de r A tta c hm e nt D o f AP S1 10: C apit al A d e q uacy.

The curre nt re gulatory capita l minim ums together wi th the capital conserv ation buffer (C CB) are the Total CET1 Requirement. The T o tal CET1 Requirement for Westpac is at least 8.0%, based on an industry mi nimum CET 1 requir em ent of 4.5% plus a capital buffe r of at le ast 3 .5% applicable to D - SI Bs 1 , 2 ; • Consider ation of regulatory ca pital requireme nts and the perspe ctives of external sta k e holders i ncluding rating agencies as well as equity and debt investors; an d • A str ess testin g framewo rk that cha llenges the ca p ital meas ures, coverage and r equirem ents including the impact of adverse economic scenar ios. From 1 Janu ary 2023, APRA’s revised c apital fr amework, including updated prudential standards for capital adequacy and credit risk capital, becomes effective. As part of the rev ised framework, APRA has set a Total CET1 Requirement for D - SIBs of 10.25%. This requireme nt includes a CCB of 4.7 5 % applicab le to D - SIBs and a base level for the countercyclical capital buffer of 1.0%. APRA has also indicated that it expects that D - SIBs ( including Westpac) will likely operate with a CET1 capital ratio above 11% in normal operati ng conditions under th e n e w framewo rk. Westpac will seek to operate with a CET1 capital ratio of between 11.0% and 11.5% (operating capital range) in normal operating conditions as measured under the new capital framework from 1 January 2023. 1 Noting tha t A P RA may ap ply higher CET1 req uirements for an indi vidual ADI. 2 If a n ADI’s CET1 ratio fal l s bel o w the Total CET1 Requirement (at l east 8% ), i t faces r est rictions on the distrib ution of e arnin gs, such as d i v idend s , distribution paymen t s on AT1 capital i n s t r uments an d discretionary sta ff bonuse s.
