For personal use only Note: Information in this document is presented on a cash earnings basis, unless otherwise stated. Cash earnings is a key financial performance measure used by NAB, the investment community and NAB’s Australian peers with similar business portfolios. NAB also uses cash earnings for its internal management reporting as it better reflects what NAB considers to be the underlying performance of the Group. It is not a statutory financial measure and is not presented in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards nor audited or reviewed in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. “Cash earnings” is calculated by excluding some items which are included within the statutory net profit attributable to owners of the Company. A definition of cash earnings is set out on page 146 of the 2012 Full Year Results Announcement. A discussion of non-cash earnings items and a full reconciliation of the cash earnings to statutory net profit attributable to owners of the Company for the September 2012 full year is included on pages 22 and 137 of the 2012 Full Year Results Announcement. The Group’s audited financial statements, prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and Australian Accounting Standards, will be published in its 2012 Annual Financial Report on 19 November 2012.
