ASX Release 23 April 2024 Westpac’s First Half 2024 (1H24) Notable Items and Reporting Changes 1H24 Notable Items Westpac’s reported net profit after tax in 1H24 will be reduced by $164 million due to Notable Items.

A summary of the impacts is included in Appendix 1. 1H24 Reporting Changes Operating segments have been restated following the establishment of separate Consumer and Business & Wealth operating segments and the dissolution of the Specialist Businesses operating segment. Other changes to enhance operating segment financial reporting and assessment include: • Funds transfer pricing refinements, revised capital allocations and enhanced operating expense allocations from Enterprise functions; • Changes in classification of some deposit products from interest bearing to non-interest bearing; and • Revisions to the methodology used to classify credit quality. These changes do not impact the Group’s net profit after tax (NPAT) or the composition of line items at the Group level. A summary of the restatements is included in Appendix 2.

Note 10. Credit quality Program-managed portfolio The program-managed portfolio generally includes retail products such as mortgages, personal lending (including credit cards) as well as certain small to medium sized enterprise lending. These credit exposures are grouped into pools of similar risk based on the analysis of characteristics that have historically predicted the likelihood of default, and a PD is assigned relative to the credit exposure's pool. The exposure is then assigned to strong, satisfactory or weak by benchmarking that PD against transaction-managed exposures, which are in turn mapped to external ratings per the above table. In addition, any program-managed exposures that are one or more days past due are classified as weak. The following table shows the credit quality of loans and undrawn credit commitments.

This is a change in disclosure methodology and does not represent a change in underlying credit quality of the Group’s credit exposures. Comparatives have been revised accordingly.
