2010 Half year results

The Group's Net Profit After Tax ("NPAT") ("statutory basis") for the half year ended 31 December 2009 was $2,914 million, which represents an increase of 36 percent on the prior period.  NPAT ("cash basis") for the half year was up 54 percent on the prior comparative period to $2,943 million.  

The Board declared a fully franked interim dividend of $1.20 per share.  The dividend is payable on 1 April 2010.  The ex-dividend date is 15 February 2010.  A 1.5 percent discount will apply to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

The increase in the interim dividend of seven cents to $1.20 takes the payout ratio for the interim dividend to 63 percent which is consistent with pre Global Financial Crisis interim payout ratios.
