Earnings terminology – cash earnings

Cash earnings - strips out hybrid distributions, adds back goodwill amortisation

Reported - includes everything

Underlying - removes individually significant items in 2002

Ongoing - adjusted for acquisitions and AGC divestment

Focus on cash underlying, given:

• Significant items in 2002 were non-recurring

• Base on which dividends are determined

• No impact on 2003 numbers

Ongoing earnings used to highlight organic growth

Earnings guidance

• Medium term earnings drivers, revised at July 2003 market update, are still appropriate

• No additional earnings guidance or EPS forecast to be provided for 2004 or beyond

• Westpac believes it is generally unwise to focus management on narrow range of outcomes

• The regulatory environment does not support specific guidance: - UK - LSE listing rules - US – Reg G and prospectus liability

• 2003 guidance was issued to maintain an informed market given the uncertainty generated by:- Acquisition of BT and RAAM and the sale of AGC- Significant items and accounting changes

A strong, broad based, high quality result

• Strong organic performance driven by revenue growth in all banking businesses and no one-offs

• Continued tight expense management while growing investment

• Robust loan growth with minimal margin deterioration

• Credit quality high and provisioning coverage strong

• Sound capital and franking position
