Westpac will report its 2026 financial year results on Monday, November 2, at 10 a.m. Sydney time, according to the bank’s official calendar. The date comes after the draft date of November 1, so earnings, provisions or share-price moves cannot be presented as announced facts before then. The results cover the 12 months ended September 30, 2026. The bank scheduled the release of its full-year results and dividend details for the same day. Attention is therefore focused on the upcoming disclosure, which will provide an annual picture of the bank’s performance after it reported interim results in May.

Westpac reported first-half results on May 5, 2026. The bank said at the time that statutory net profit was A$3.4 billion, up 3% from the first half of 2025 but down 5% from the second half of 2025. The comparison places the first-half result in the context of two different periods, one year on year and the other half on half. The upcoming annual results will therefore be the first disclosure covering the full financial year to the end of September. The announcement calendar does not provide annual profit figures or analyst estimates.

In its first-half results, Westpac reported total impairment charges of A$443 million. The figure was A$174 million in the second half of 2025 and A$250 million in the first half of that year, according to the interim results announcement. Chief Executive Anthony Miller said customer stress levels had eased, adding: "While our customers have been resilient and stress levels have eased, we have taken a prudent approach and increased our provisions." These figures and comments provide context on provisions in the first half, but on their own they do not establish whether provisions affected the annual results or led to a miss against expectations. Full-year figures will be known when the scheduled announcement is released.

The annual announcement comes before the final dividend’s previous ex-dividend date of November 5, with the shareholder record date set for November 6, according to the bank’s financial calendar. Westpac has also scheduled payment of the final dividend for December 21. A later date is its annual general meeting on December 16, 2026. These dates place the dividend announcement, entitlement and shareholder meeting on a schedule running from early November to December. Details of annual earnings and the dividend remain tied to the scheduled disclosure on November 2.
