Westpac Pillar 3 Report (September 2025) |
Disclosure regarding forward-looking statements
The information contained in this Report on Form
6-K 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 current intent, belief or expectations with respect to its business and operations, macro and micro economic and market
conditions, results of operations and financial condition and performance, capital adequacy and liquidity and risk management, including,
without limitation, future loan loss provisions and financial support to certain borrowers, forecasted economic indicators and performance
metric outcomes, indicative drivers, climate- and other sustainability- related statements, commitments, targets, projections and metrics,
and other estimated and proxy data.
Words such as ‘will’, ‘may’,
‘expect’, ‘intend’, ‘seek’, ‘would’, ‘should’, ‘could’, ‘continue’,
‘plan’, ‘estimate’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘probability’, ‘indicative’,
‘risk’, ‘aim’, ‘outlook’, ‘forecast’, ‘f’cast’, ‘f’, ‘assumption’,
‘projection’, ‘target’, ‘goal’, ‘guidance’, ‘objective’, ‘ambition’
or other similar words, are used to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect Westpac’s current views on future
events and are subject to change, certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions and other factors which are, in many
instances, beyond Westpac’s control (and the control of Westpac’s officers, employees, agents and advisors), and have been
made based on management’s and/or the Board’s current expectations or beliefs concerning future developments and their potential
effect upon Westpac.
Forward-looking statements may also be made, verbally
or in writing, by members of Westpac’s management or Board in connection with this Report. Such statements are subject to the same
limitations, uncertainties, assumptions and disclaimers set out in this Report.
There can be no assurance that future developments
or performance will align with Westpac’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on Westpac will be those anticipated.
Actual results could differ materially from those Westpac expects or which are expressed or implied in forward-looking statements, depending
on various factors including, but not limited to, those described in the risk factors in Westpac’s 2025 Risk Factors on Form 6-K
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 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.
Except as required by law, Westpac assumes no
obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in this Report, whether from new information, future events, conditions
or otherwise, after the date of this Report.
