Profitability metrics increased, with profit before tax up 2.7 percent to $626 million. Capital levels decreased to 17.5% from 18.0%.

31 Changes for growth The sector continues to be a source for productivity The 10% investment property lending growth cap has slowed loans to investors and held back growth opportunities. Residential investment lending in 2016 Growth at 10% All ADIs $500bn All ADIs $50bn Mutuals $20bn Other ADIs $480bn Mutuals $2bn Other ADIs $48bn 1% market share of total investor lending growth 31
32 Changes for growth Senate Inquiry into Co-operatives and Mutuals Report issued in March recommendations, 6 of which relate to Capital and Regulation, and we consider these to be key priorities Capital Currently, mutuals hold additional capital over regulatory minimums Holding capital levels consistent with larger competitors at ~13.5% would increase loans by ~$25 billion This would lead to $375m additional profits assuming a 1.5% spread 60% in profitability 25% increase in size Regulation Reducing regulatory burden aligned with government s public commitment to reducing red tape by $1bn each year Improving competition so all players have a fair-go, regardless of size 32
33 Changes for growth We see a number of quick wins that could be achieved with potential regulatory changes. Highlighting some of these ideas: 1. Simplifying regulatory rules, responsibilities and audit requirements 2. Allowing all ADIs to call themselves banks 3. Simplifying taxation arrangements 4. Allowing the strength of the sector to be analysed from a collective view 33

35 Volatility in markets 2016 started with a slippery slide Do you remember how the Financial markets started this calendar year? Stock Markets China s Shanghai Index finished January 26% lower than December. In the US, the Dow and S&P500 were down 8.5% and 8.1% respectively. Meanwhile in Japan, the Nikkei slumped 12% Locally, the All Ords and ASX200 were down 6.8% and 7% respectively. Commodity Markets Oil has been a major driver for commodity markets, with a supply glut, Iran production back on line and low global growth all contributing to the price drops to commence the year and the volatility since. Most bulk and base metals were again under price pressure, with lower forecast demand, particularly from China, representing the major contributor to the price falls. As global stocks tumbled, precious metals gained friends, with Gold the standout performer rising rapidly in a risk aversion environment. Interest Rate Markets Australian Interest Rate Swap yields fell, with the 3yr some 0.25% lower in early Negative yields take hold globally, with approx. one third of global bonds in negative yields territory. Australian Corporate Credit markets widen in early 2016, due to equity market turbulence, however the flight to sovereign bond credit narrows spreads there. Foreign Exchange Markets The Australian Dollar has traded a five cent range against the US Dollar so far in 2016, as global influences take hold. The Japanese Yen has been jolted in both directions, following the shock BOJ actions in late January. The Great British Pound has been weaker, with uncertainty surrounding EU membership weighing. The Chinese Yuan has been under heavy pressure, with significant defence by the PBOC. Central Bank Actions European Central Bank (ECB) seeks to review stimulus measures in March, however in the meantime, ECB President Draghi reiterates a firm stance. Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) continued to add to currency market volatility with its daily Yuan fixings, attempting to curtail the impact of market forces by injecting extra liquidity in an attempt to combat capital flight. Bank of Japan (BOJ) adopts a negative interest rate stance, in a bold attempt to fight off deflation and slowing external demand. The US Federal Reserve, after a small rise to the Fed Funds rate, maintains a firm stance to the balance of 2016 with its monetary policy settings, albeit with no further changes in light of continuing soft inflation. 35
36 Approach taken to draw opinions Technical analysis approach: Comment During our analysis we have applied a number of generally available technical analysis tools, in conjunction with applying the overall experience of individuals within the KPMG Corporate Financial Risk Management team. Both Thompson Reuters and ICE SuperDerivatives data and tools have been utilised for the analysis, as part of our KPMG (FAS) subscription services with these service providers. There are numerous technical analysis approaches, methodologies and tools available with which to draw from, however we have maintained a consistent approach across all of the markets that are being discussed today. A combination of wave analysis, made popular by RN Elliott, in conjunction with retracement/extension analysis, commonly used although identified by the mathematician Fibonacci, as well as time period analysis, derived by some of the theory in work by WD Gann. Various other techniques including, but not limited to, noted patterns, such as double bottom, trend channels, resistance and support zones.

42 Australian Dollar v s US Dollar Source Thompson Reuters Potential Technically Forecast outcomes Following the current completion of the 5 Wave sequence at , the AUD begins a correction phase back towards or higher. Based on US Dollar Index read, the potential strength of the US Dollar may then turn the AUD lower, with the low becoming the end of Wave 3 (and not Wave 5 as currently marked) thus encouraging a further down leg in AUD to complete the trend from In either scenario on the Wave count, the favoured position is for AUD higher in the first instance.

49 Benchmark Government Bond Yields: Have we seen the turn in 2016? Source ICE Superderivatives Consistent Technical Themes Nearly all Benchmark Bonds corrected in an A, B, C Elliott wave correction in Mid 2015, before again turning lower. A 5 Wave down in yields was the favoured view in early 2016, with all Benchmark yields having pushed to new lows in August 2016 on that basis. We appeared to be in the Wave 3 s (of the Wave 5 s sequences), so we did see an up move stage into May for the Wave 4 s, before a final push lower. 49

53 The US Dow a long & winding road Source Thompson Reuters Dow Jones Increasing risk sentiment, as global outlook weighs and stock indices tumble in early 2016, before the Dow posts a new high. With one of the longest data sets available we have the opportunity to view major wave sequences over 116 years. Two major 5 Wave multi decade trends may be noted into 2008 prior to the GFC, which also included the 1929 crash and subsequent Great Depression. The GFC produced a sharp freefall, a little lower than 50% retracement of the entire 75 year 5 wave trend. A new Wave 5 is currently well advanced since commencing in 2008, with the early 2016 falls confirming the Wave 4. A new high has been achieved, although the Wave 5 is not yet confirmed as in place. 53

57 The US Dow a long & winding road Source Thompson Reuters Potential Technically Forecast outcomes The Dow Jones appears in the latter stages of its multi decade bull run. Given the long time frame to complete thus far, there may be quite some time to fully develop the final stage. Standing back, a larger Wave 5 in totality may be observed, Wave s-1929, Wave 2 Great Depression, Wave , Wave 4 GFC, Wave Current (with 3 of 5 inside waves having already completed). A potential scenario, whereby the Dow corrects lower initially before attempting to make a new final high is starting to shape up.

58 Does history teach us anything? Dow Jones With the benefit of modern analysis tools we can dive deeper into the study of the times, and whilst on a long chart the 1920 s appear insignificant, this time period snapshot highlights some interesting observations. The roaring 20 s gave us an early glimpse of a major bull market in stocks, with the Dow rising some 500+% from , a mere 7 years. Following the crash of 1929, the Dow eventually settled back at the level from 1904, nearly 30 years early. The speed at which the fall occurred ie. 3 years tipped global economies. Following the Great Depression and World War 2, The Dow took until the mid-1950 s to retrace the market high put in place back in This timeframe also marked the start of the baby boom. 58
