The values to which we aspire can be summarised in six principles: – Integrity – Client commitment – Strive for profi tability – Fulfi lment for our people – Teamwork – Highest standards Macquarie and the Holey Dollar The Bank looked to Australia’s most successful early governor, Lachlan Macquarie, for inspiration in its name and the creation of its logo. In 1813 Governor Macquarie overcame an acute currency shortage by purchasing Spanish silver dollars (then worth five shillings), punching out the centres and creating two new coins – the ‘Holey Dollar’ (valued at five shillings) and the ‘Dump’ (valued at one shilling and three pence). This single move not only doubled the number of coins in circulation but increased their total worth by 25 per cent and prevented the coins from leaving the colony. Governor Macquarie’s creation of the Holey Dollar was an inspired solution to a difficult problem and for this reason it was chosen as the symbol of the Macquarie Bank Group. 01 Highlights – Profi t after tax from ordinary activities (attributable to ordinary equity holders) increased 48 per cent to $494 million – Operating income increased 30 per cent to $2,380 million* – Earnings per share increased 41 per cent to $2.33 – Return on average ordinary shareholders’ funds was 22.3 per cent – International income contributed 31 per cent of the Bank’s income – Total assets grew by 35 per cent to $44 billion – Ordinary dividends of 122 cents per share for the year (interim dividend and fi nal dividend franked to 90 per cent) – Total capital adequacy ratio 19.9 per cent Growth in relative Group contribution to profi t** Index of 100 in year ended 31 March 2003 200 150 100 50 0 2003 2004 Profi t after income tax attributable to Return on average ordinary ordinary equity holders equity holders’ funds $ million year ended 31 March % pa year ended 31 March 500 30 25 400 20 300 15 200 10 100 5 0 0 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 02 Macquarie Bank Limited 2004 Annual Review Consolidated profi t Year ended 31 March 2004* 2003* % Change Total income 2,380 1,834 30 Total expenses (1,695) (1,374) 23 Profi t before income tax 685 460 49 Income tax expense (161) (96) 68 Profi t after income tax 524 364 44 Outside equity interest (3) (3) – Distribution on Macquarie Income Securities (27) (28) (4) Profi t after income tax attributable to ordinary equity holders 494 333 48 Ratings Short-term Long-term Fitch Ratings F1 A+ Moody’s Investors Service P1 A2 Standard and Poor’s A1 A Relative Group contribution to profi t** 2004 Corporate Finance (including Infrastructure and Specialised Funds) 27% Financial Products (including cross-border leasing) 6% Other (including Institutional Stockbroking and Macquarie Capital) 11% Total Investment Banking 44% Treasury and Commodities 17% Equity Markets 14% Banking and Property 13% Financial Services 5% Funds Management 1% Direct Investment 6% Domestic and international total operating income $ million year ended 31 March (excluding earnings on capital) 2500 Domestic International 2000 1500 1000 500 0 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 * The results for both the 2003 and 2004 years have been adjusted to reclassify income and expenses related to infrastructure assets held for resale ** Percentage contribution derived from management accounts based on fi gures excluding earnings on capital before profi t share and before income tax 03 Macquarie BankLimited2004 Annual Review 04 Exporting expertise Macquarie’s approach to infrastructure fi nance and management was developed in Australia and has provided a platform from which the Bank has expanded internationally. The acquisition of leading UK water utility South East Water in October was an important step in growing our European infrastructure business. Supplying 400 million litres of water per day to approximately 1.5 million people, South East Water provides an essential service to a growing community base. Macquarie is now a global leader in the infrastructure sector with a portfolio of world–class infrastructure assets.

    Commonwealth Bank announces appointment of new Chairman Wednesday, 12 October 2016: The Commonwealth Bank of Australia today announced that its Chairman Mr David Turner will retire from the Board at the end of December 2016. He will be succeeded as Chairman by current non-executive director Ms Catherine Livingstone AO. Mr Turner has been a member of CBA’s Board since 2006, and has served as Chairman since the beginning of 2010. Commenting on his decision to retire from the Board, Mr Turner said “I have greatly enjoyed my time on the Board of the Commonwealth Bank and especially as Chairman for the past seven years. It has been a privilege to work with an exceptional Board and management team. “The strength of CBA meant that following the Global Financial Crisis it was able to continue supporting its customers, accelerate innovation and fulfil its vital role in the broader Australian economy. It has been exciting to be Chairman of the Bank in such a fast changing environment.” Ms Catherine Livingstone has been a non-executive director of CBA since March 2016. She was formally Chairman of Telstra Corporation and Chief Executive Officer of Cochlear. She is presently President of the Business Council of Australia and will retire from that role in November 2016. Mr Turner said “Catherine’s strong business experience complemented by her interest in technology and innovation will mean she will be an excellent and well-qualified Chairman.” Ms Livingstone said “It is an enormous honour to be appointed Chairman by the Board of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.
