Pillar 3 report Executive summary Westpac Group December 2021 Pillar 3 Report | 3 Key capital ratios Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio movement for First Quarter 2022 (% and basis points) Westpac’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 12.20% at 31 December 2021, 12 basis points lower than 30 September 2021. Key movements in the CET1 capital ratio over the quarter were: • 1Q22 cash earnings of $1,584 million (35 basis points increase); • Payment of the 2021 final dividend (50 basis points decrease); • An increase in Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) (21 basis points decrease) mostly from higher market risk RWA and higher lending; • Capital deductions and other capital movements (20 basis points increase) mainly due to lower deferred tax assets, movements in the fair value on economic hedges recognised in net profit and a decrease in the capital deduction for regulatory expected losses in excess of provisions; and • A 4 basis points increase from the impact of divestments. 31 December 2021 30 September 2021 31 December 2020 Level 2 Regulatory capital structure Common equity Tier 1 capital after deductions $m 53,976 53,808 51,048 Risk weighted assets $m 442,411 436,650 430,232 Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio % 12.20 12.32 11.87 Additional Tier 1 capital ratio % 2.17 2.33 2.30 Tier 1 capital ratio % 14.37 14.65 14.17 Tier 2 capital % 4.83 4.21 3.72 Total regulatory capital ratio % 19.20 18.86 17.89 APRA leverage ratio % 5.80 5.99 6.19 Level 1 Regulatory capital structure Common equity Tier 1 capital after deductions $m 54,220 54,314 51,622 Risk weighted assets $m 438,046 431,422 426,566 Level 1 Common equity Tier 1 capital ratio % 12.38 12.59 12.10

Pillar 3 report Executive summary 4 | Westpac Group December 2021 Pillar 3 Report Risk Weighted Assets Total RWA increased $5.8 billion or 1.3% over the quarter from both higher credit risk RWA and non-credit RWA. The $2.5 billion increase in credit risk RWA included: • A $6.1 billion increase mainly from higher lending across corporates, specialised lending and residential mortgages, partially offset by; • A $1.8 billion decrease in credit RWA associated with derivative exposures (counterparty credit risk and mark-to-market related credit risk); • A $1.1 billion decrease from the sale of Westpac’s wholesale dealer loan book; and • A $0.7 billion decrease in RWA for foreign currency translation impacts mostly from the appreciation of the A$ against the US$ and NZ$. Non-credit risk RWA was $3.3 billion higher, mainly due to a $2.5 billion increase in market risk RWA. The increase was mainly driven by the introduction of an industry-wide overlay for updated market risk models which require regulatory approval. Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital movements for First Quarter 2022 On 20 December 2021, Westpac redeemed approximately $0.55 billion Westpac Capital Notes 4 (WCN 4) that remained on issue1. The net impact was a decrease in Tier 1 capital of approximately 12 basis points. During the quarter, Westpac issued US$2.25 billion Tier 2 capital instruments. The net impact was an increase in the total regulatory capital ratio of approximately 72 basis points. Exposure at Default Exposure at default (EAD) increased $30.1 billion over the quarter, primarily due to an increase in exposure to sovereigns ($25.2 billion) from higher liquid assets, residential mortgage lending ($3.4 billion) and specialised lending ($2.0 billion). Leverage Ratio The leverage ratio represents the amount of Tier 1 capital relative to exposure2. At 31 December 2021, Westpac’s leverage ratio was 5.8%, down 19 basis points since 30 September 2021 mainly from higher on- balance sheet liquid asset exposures. Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) Westpac’s average LCR for the quarter ending 31 December 2021 was 142% (30 September 2021: 129%)3. 1 On 15 September 2021, Westpac issued $1.75 billion of Additional Tier 1 capital (Westpac Capital Notes 8), of which approximately $1.15 billion comprised reinvestment by the holders of WCN 4. The remaining $0.55 billion of WCN 4 were redeemed on 20 December 2021. 2 As defined under Attachment D of APS110: Capital Adequacy. 3 Calculated as a simple average of the daily observations over the relevant quarter. $m 31 December 2021 30 September 2021 31 December 2020 Risk weighted assets at Level 2 Credit risk 359,773 357,295 349,844 Market risk 9,202 6,662 9,607 Operational risk 56,214 55,875 54,090 Interest rate risk in the banking book 12,190 11,446 10,309 Other 5,032 5,372 6,382 Total RWA 442,411 436,650 430,232 Total Exposure at Default 1,164,183 1,134,083 1,063,136

Pillar 3 report Introduction Westpac Group December 2021 Pillar 3 Report | 5 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 Advanced Internal Ratings-Based approach (Advanced IRB) for credit risk and the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) for operational risk1. In accordance with APS330 Public Disclosure, financial institutions that have received this 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 website2 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. 1 Westpac continues to work with APRA on previously disclosed regulatory breaches in relation to the Advanced Measurement Approach. From 1 January 2022, Westpac has adopted the Standardised Measurement Approach (SMA) to Operational Risk Capital as permitted by Prudential Standard APS115 Capital Adequacy: Standardised Measurement Approach to Operational Risk. As Westpac holds a standardised approach overlay in anticipation of this transition, the impact on Operational Risk Capital is expected to be minimal and within normal variation. The Culture, Governance & Accountability Review and AUSTRAC related overlays will continue to apply after the transition. 2 http://www.westpac.com.au/about-westpac/investor-centre/financial-information/regulatory-disclosures/

Pillar 3 report Group structure 6 | Westpac Group December 2021 Pillar 3 Report APRA applies a tiered approach to measuring Westpac’s capital adequacy1 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 basis2. The Westpac Group The following diagram shows the Level 3 conglomerate group and illustrates the different tiers of regulatory consolidation. Accounting consolidation3 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. 1 APS110 Capital Adequacy outlines the overall framework adopted by APRA for the purpose of assessing the capital adequacy of an ADI. 2 Impaired assets and provisions held in Level 3 entities are excluded from the tables in this report. 3 Refer to Note 30 of Westpac’s 2021 Annual Report for further details.

Pillar 3 report Group structure Westpac Group December 2021 Pillar 3 Report | 7 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 the Advanced IRB approach for credit risk and the AMA 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 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 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 Exposures to related entities are managed within the prudential limits prescribed by APRA in APS222 Associations with Related Entities1. 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 Certain subsidiary banking, insurance 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. There are no capital deficiencies in subsidiary entities excluded from the regulatory consolidation at Level 2. On 23 March 2021, the RBNZ issued two notices to WNZL under section 95 of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989 requiring WNZL to supply two external reviews to the RBNZ. The first review is due to the RBNZ by 29 April 2022 and relates to the effectiveness of WNZL’s actions to improve liquidity risk management and the associated risk culture, following previously identified breaches of the RBNZ’s Liquidity Policy (BS13) and non-compliance identified through the RBNZ’s liquidity thematic review. From 31 March 2021, the RBNZ amended WNZL’s conditions of registration, requiring WNZL to apply an overlay to liquidity mismatch ratios2 to discount the value of its liquid assets by approximately 14% which at 31 December 2021 was NZ$2.8 billion3. This overlay will apply until the RBNZ is satisfied that: • the RBNZ’s concerns regarding liquidity risk controls have been resolved; and • sufficient progress has been made to address risk culture issues in WNZL’s Treasury and Market and Liquidity Risk functions. The second review was completed in November 2021 and relates to the effectiveness of WNZL’s risk governance, with a focus on the role played by the WNZL Board. The review identified deficiencies in WNZL’s risk governance practices and operations which have impacted the WNZL Board’s effectiveness in governing risk. These deficiencies are likely to have contributed to issues of non-compliance with some of WNZL’s conditions of registration, and technology resiliency issues. WNZL has accepted the findings of the review and is committed to implementing the recommendations identified. WNZL has a programme of work underway to address the issues raised, which is being overseen by WNZL’s directors. 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. 2 As defined in RBNZ Liquidity Policy (BS13). 3 For the December 2021 1 Month Mismatch Ratio, based on primary and secondary liquid assets.

Pillar 3 report Capital overview 8 | Westpac Group December 2021 Pillar 3 Report Capital management strategy Westpac’s approach to capital management seeks to ensure that it is adequately capitalised as an ADI. Westpac evaluates its approach to capital management through an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), the key features of which include: • the development of a capital management strategy, including consideration of regulatory minimums, capital buffers and contingency plans. The current regulatory capital minimums together with the capital conservation buffer (CCB) are the Total CET1 Requirement. The Total CET1 Requirement for Westpac is at least 8.0%, based on an industry minimum CET1 requirement of 4.5% plus a capital buffer of at least 3.5% applicable to D-SIBs12; • consideration of both regulatory and economic capital requirements; • a stress testing framework that challenges the capital measures, coverage and requirements including the impact of adverse economic scenarios; and • consideration of the perspectives of external stakeholders including rating agencies as well as equity and debt investors. On 29 November 2021 APRA announced their final revised standards for capital which indicated that the Total CET1 Requirement for D-SIBs will be 10.25% from 1 January 2023. This requirement will include a CCB of 3.75% and a base level for the countercyclical capital buffer of 1.0%. Work on understanding the impacts of other changes to the standards is ongoing and Westpac intends to provide an update on its operating range for the CET1 capital ratio with its 1H22 results on 9 May 2022. 1 Noting that APRA may apply higher CET1 requirements for an individual ADI. 2 If an ADI’s CET1 ratio falls below the Total CET1 Requirement (at least 8%), they face restrictions on the distribution of earnings, such as dividends, distribution payments on AT1 capital instruments and discretionary staff bonuses.

Pillar 3 report Liquidity Coverage Ratio 20 | Westpac Group December 2021 Pillar 3 Report Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) Westpac’s average LCR for the quarter was 142% (30 September 2021: 129%). Liquid assets included in the LCR comprise High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA), the Committed Liquidity Facility (CLF) offered by the Reserve Bank of Australia and additional qualifying Reserve Bank of New Zealand securities. In September 2021, APRA announced it expects ADIs subject to the LCR to reduce their CLF usage to zero by the end of calendar 2022, subject to financial market conditions. The facility reduction will be phased on a quarterly basis throughout 2022, with the first reduction having occurred on 1 January 2022. Westpac expects to replace its CLF allocation with additional HQLA. Westpac’s portfolio of HQLA averaged $159.7 billion over the quarter1. 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. Westpac maintains a buffer over the regulatory minimum of 100%. Effective 1 January 2021, the Group is required by APRA to increase the value of its net cash outflows by 10% for the purpose of calculating LCR. The overlay to the Group’s net cash outflows has been required by APRA in response to breaches of liquidity requirements. A program is underway to address APRA’s requirements to remove the overlay. 1 Calculated as a simple average of the daily observations over the quarter.

Pillar 3 report Disclosure regarding forward-looking statements 22 | Westpac Group December 2021 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 about matters 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. Words such as ‘will’, ‘may’, ‘expect’, ‘indicative’, ‘intend’, ‘seek’, ‘would’, ‘should’, ‘could’, ‘continue’, ‘plan’, ‘aim’, ‘probability’, ‘risk’, ‘forecast’, ‘likely’, ‘estimate’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’ or other similar words are used to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect Westpac’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to change, certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are, in many instances, beyond Westpac’s control and have been made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon Westpac. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with Westpac’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on Westpac will be those anticipated. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the expectations described in this report. Factors that may impact on the forward-looking statements made include, but are not limited to, those described in the section entitled ‘Risk factors’ in Westpac’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the ongoing impact of COVID-19. 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. Westpac is under no obligation, and does not intend, to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this report.
