Exhibit 1
| ASX<br>Release<br><br><br>21 April 2022<br><br>Westpac ’s First Half 2022 (1H22) notable items and segment structure changes<br>Westpac today announced that its reported net profit and cash earnings in 1H22 is<br>expected to have a minimal impact from notable items with a net reduction of $6m (after<br>tax). Of the notable items, a $4m benefit was recognised and announced in the first quarter<br>2022 (1Q22) with the remainder recognised in the second quarter 2022 (2Q22). The<br>notable items (after tax) include:<br> The gain on sale of Westpac Life-NZ-Limited (NZ Life) of $119m (NZ$126m)<br>following completion of the transaction in February 2022. There is no tax expense<br>from this item in 1H22;<br> Gains on sale of $119m related to the Group’s Motor vehicle dealer finance and<br>novated leasing business following completion in the half;<br> The write-down of goodwill and capitalised software associated with the Group’s<br>superannuation business of $154m as part of preparations to exit this business;<br> An increase in provisions for customer refunds, repayments, associated costs and<br>litigation penalties of $65m; and<br> A $25m impact from costs associated with divestments and a post-sale adjustment<br>to earn-out payments associated with the sale of the Vendor Finance business.<br>In aggregate, these items have a small impact on the Group’s CET1 capital ratio (adds 3<br>basis points). Details of notable items in First Half 2022 are in Appendix 1 and a summary<br>of line item impacts is in Appendix 2.<br><br>Segment structure changes in Westpac’s 1H22 Results<br>As outlined in our 1Q22 update, we are making changes to align our segment reporting to<br>our lines of business operating structure. These changes have no impact on the Group’s<br>consolidated financial results and associated metrics in prior periods but do impact profit<br>and loss and balance sheet items of our reporting segments. The new structure and<br>changes are summarised in Appendix 3.<br>In addition, certain customers previously managed in Business are now being managed by<br>Westpac Institutional Bank (WIB) and their contribution will be reported in that segment.<br>In preparing the platforms business for sale we have decided to retain our share broking<br>and margin lending businesses given the demand from consumer and private wealth<br>clients. The share broking business will now be reported in Consumer, previously in the<br>Specialist Businesses segment (with comparative periods restated). Margin lending will<br>continue to be reported in Specialist Businesses and will be moved to Consumer in a<br>subsequent period once we finalise its separation from our wealth businesses.<br>Appendix 4 provides prior period data under these segment changes in the same way they<br>will be presented in 1H22.<br><br>Level 18, 275 Kent Street<br>Sydney, NSW, 2000 |

| Restatement of APRA Monthly ADI Statistics (MADIS)<br>Following revisions to Westpac’s reporting models used to classify owner occupied and<br>investment property housing loans under APRA’s Economic Financial Statistics definitions<br>we are changing the reporting of these loan balances.<br>The changes will result in a reclassification of $14 billion 1 in the MADIS dataset, increasing<br>owner occupied lending (~1% market share) with a corresponding decrease in investment<br>property loans (~2% market share). Total outstanding housing lending is unchanged.<br>Restated data is expected to be published in APRA’s MADIS data release on 29 April 2022<br>and will be restated back to March 2021. The changes better align our MADIS statistics<br>with existing management and external reporting.<br>This restatement has no impact on Westpac’s reporting of housing lending in our Investor<br>Discussion Pack and other management reporting documents.<br><br>We are scheduled to announce our First Half 2022 results on Monday, 9 May 2022.<br><br>For further information:<br><br>Hayden Cooper Andrew Bowden<br>Group Head of Media Relations Group Head of Investor Relations<br>0402 393 619 0438 284 863<br><br><br>This document has been authorised for release by Tim Hartin, Company Secretary.<br><br><br>1 At 28 February 2022.<br>Page 2 of 13 |

| Appendix 1 – Details of items affecting Westpac ’s 1H22 Financial Results<br><br>This table details how the notable items will be described in our 1H22 Financial Results.<br><br>Summary 1H22 Cash<br>earnings<br>(after tax)<br>Detail (pre tax)<br>Write-down<br>of goodwill<br>and other<br>assets<br>$154m<br>reduction<br>In preparation for the exit of our superannuation business, the carrying<br>value of our superannuation intangible assets was reviewed and found<br>to be no longer supportable. This included:<br> $122m of goodwill, which is all the goodwill attributable to this<br>business; and<br> $45m of capitalised software.<br>Additional<br>provisions<br>for customer<br>refunds<br>payments,<br>associated<br>costs and<br>litigation<br>provisions<br>$65m<br>reduction<br>The ongoing review of customer remediation, litigation and regulatory<br>investigations has led to the following changes in provisions:<br> Revenue: $36m decrease for additional remediation related to<br>wealth products, partly offset by the release of some provisions in<br>Westpac New Zealand; and<br> Expenses: $46m increase for additional costs related to our<br>remediation programs and for litigation matters, including an<br>increase to prior provisions following agreement with ASIC to settle<br>six longstanding matters announced on 30 November 2021.<br>Asset sales<br>and<br>revaluations<br>$213m<br>increase<br> Revenue increase of $271m from a gain on sale of $119m from NZ<br>Life and $170m from the Group’s Motor vehicle dealer finance and<br>novated leasing business, partly offset by an $18m post-sale<br>adjustment to earn-out payments associated with the sale of the<br>Vendor Finance business;<br> Expenses associated with asset sales and revaluations of $18m;<br>and<br> Tax expense and non-controlling interest impact of $40m. The low<br>effective tax rate of these collective items reflects that the tax impact<br>for the sale of NZ Life was largely recorded in prior periods.<br><br><br><br><br><br>Page 3 of 13 |
