Net operating income

Net operating income of $A19,477 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 increased 13% from $A17,208 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher investment income, net interest and trading income and fee and commission income. This was partially offset by lower net other operating income and higher credit and other impairment charges.

  Statement of financial position

  The Consolidated Entity's Statement of financial position was impacted during the year ended 31 March 2026 by changes resulting from a combination of business activities, Group Treasury management initiatives and macroeconomic factors.

  Assets Liabilities

  Total assets of $A540.1 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 21% from $A445.2 billion as at 31 March 2025.

  The principal drivers for the increase were as follows:

  • loan assets of $A253.5 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 23% from $A205.6 billion as at 31 March 2025, driven by volume growth in BFS home loans and corporate, commercial and other lending, in CGM

  • derivative assets of $A43.5 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 79% from $A24.3 billion as at 31 March 2025, driven by movements in gas and power commodity prices due to market volatility. After taking into account related financial instruments, cash and other collateral, the residual derivative exposure was $A12.4 billion (31 March 2025: $A7.2 billion). The majority of the residual derivative exposure is short-term in nature and managed within the Consolidated Entity's market and credit risk frameworks, with a substantial portion of the exposure with investment grade counterparties

  • cash collateralised lending and reverse repurchase agreements of $A83.0 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 25% from

    $A66.6 billion as at 31 March 2025, driven by an increase in holdings of reverse repurchase agreements as part of Group Treasury's liquid asset portfolio management and higher trading activity, in CGM

  • trading assets of $A42.8 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 22% from $A35.0 billion as at 31 March 2025, driven by an increase in holdings of listed equity securities, in CGM

  • financial investments of $A31.0 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 44% from $A21.5 billion as at 31 March 2025, driven by growth in the portfolios of high quality liquid assets held across Group Treasury's liquidity portfolio and in MAM.

    Total liabilities of $A503.2 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 23% from $A409.4 billion as at 31 March 2025.

    The principal drivers for the increase were as follows:

  • deposits of $A221.5 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 25% from $A177.7 billion as at 31 March 2025, driven by volume growth in deposits, in BFS

  • derivative liabilities of $A37.7 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 61% from $A23.4 billion as at 31 March 2025, commensurate with the movement in derivative assets

  • issued debt securities and other borrowings of $A150.0 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 11% from $A135.2 billion as at 31 March 2025, driven by the net issuance of commercial paper, certificates of deposit and borrowings, in Group Treasury

  • margin money and settlement liabilities of $A35.9 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 25% from $A28.8 billion as at

    31 March 2025, driven by an increase in margin placed by financial institutions and broker settlement balances, in CGM

  • trading liabilities of $A12.5 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 116% from $A5.8 billion as at 31 March 2025, driven by an increase in short positions on listed equity securities, in CGM.

    Equity

    Total equity of $A36.9 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 3% from $A35.8 billion as at 31 March 2025.

    The principal drivers for the increase were as follows:

  • $A4.8 billion of earnings generated during the current period.

    Partially offset by:

  • $A2.5 billion in dividend payments

  • $A1.7 billion decrease in the foreign currency translation reserve, largely driven by the appreciation of the Australian Dollar against the United States Dollar.

‌Macquarie Group Limited 2026 Management Discussion and Analysis 16

‌Operating Segments

AASB 8 Operating Segments requires the 'management approach' to disclosing information about the Consolidated Entity's reportable segments. The financial information is reported on the same basis as used internally by Senior Management for evaluating Operating Segment performance and for deciding how to allocate resources to Operating Segments. Such information may be produced using different measures to that used in preparing the statutory income statement.

For internal reporting, performance measurement and risk management purposes, the Consolidated Entity is divided into Operating Groups and a Corporate segment (reportable segments).

Internally, Macquarie uses net profit contribution as a measure of performance of its reportable segments.

The financial information disclosed relates to the Consolidated Entity's ordinary activities.

These segments have been set up based on the different core products and services offered. The Operating Groups comprise:

• MAM which is a leading global asset manager that provides a diverse range of investment solutions including real assets, real estate, credit and insurance, secondaries and systematic investments

• BFS which provides a diverse range of personal banking, wealth management and business banking products and services to retail clients, advisers, brokers and business clients

• CGM which is a global business offering capital and financing, risk management, market access, physical execution and logistics solutions to its diverse client base across Commodities, Financial Markets and Asset Finance

• Macquarie Capital which has global capability in advisory and capital raising services, providing clients with specialist expertise and flexible capital solutions across a range of sectors. It also has global capability in specialist investing across private credit, private equity, real estate, growth equity, venture capital, and infrastructure and energy. Macquarie Capital's Equities brokerage business provides clients with access to equity research, sales, execution capabilities and corporate access with a focus on Asia-Pacific.

The Corporate segment comprises head office and Central Service Groups, and holds certain legacy and strategic investments, assets and businesses that are not allocated to any of the Operating Groups.

Items of income and expense within the Corporate segment include the net result of managing Macquarie's liquidity and funding requirements, earnings on capital and the residual accounting volatility relating to economically hedged positions where hedge accounting is applied, as well as accounting volatility for other economically hedged positions where hedge accounting is not applied.

Other items of income and expense within the Corporate segment include earnings from certain legacy investments transferred

to Corporate for strategic management, changes in central overlays to credit and other impairments or valuation of assets, provisions for uncertain or legacy matters, unallocated head office and Central Service Groups costs. The Corporate segment also includes performance-related profit share and share-based payments expenses and income tax expense.

On 1 September 2025, the Green Investments assets retained on balance sheet were transferred to a Macquarie Group portfolio, centrally managed in Corporate. These transfers were undertaken to better align the Operating Groups with their long-term strategy. In accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments, comparative information has been restated to reflect these changes.

Below is a selection of key policies applied in determining the Operating Segment results.

Internal funding arrangements

Group Treasury has the responsibility for managing wholesale funding for the Consolidated Entity, and Operating Groups primarily obtain their required funding from Group Treasury.

The Operating Groups are assumed to be fully debt funded for the purposes of internal funding charges. The interest rates charged by Group Treasury are determined by the currency and term of the funding.

With the exception of deposit funding, Operating Groups may only source funding directly from external sources where the funding is secured by the Operating Group's assets or where they have specific capabilities that support Group Treasury in raising unsecured funding. In such cases, Operating Groups generally bear the funding costs directly and Group Treasury may levy additional charges, where appropriate.

Transactions between Operating Segments

Operating Segments that enter into arrangements with other Operating Segments must do so on commercial terms or as agreed by the Consolidated Entity's Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer.

Internal transactions are recognised in each of the relevant categories of income and expense and eliminated on consolidation as appropriate.

Accounting for economic interest rate risk hedging derivatives and presentation of interest and trading income

With respect to businesses that predominantly earn income from lending activities, derivatives that hedge interest rate risk are measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Changes in the fair value are presented in net trading income and give rise to income statement volatility unless designated in hedge accounting relationships. If designated in fair value hedge accounting relationships, the carrying value of the hedged items are adjusted for changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged risks to reduce volatility in the income statement. If designated in cash flow hedge accounting relationships, the effective portion of the derivatives' fair value gains or losses are deferred in the cash flow hedge reserve as part of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), and subsequently recognised in the income statement at the time at which the hedged items affect the income statement for the hedged risks.

For segment reporting, derivatives are accounted for on an accrual basis in the results of the Operating Groups to the extent that the Corporate segment manages the derivative volatility, either through the application of hedge accounting or where the derivative volatility may offset the volatility of other positions managed within the Corporate segment.

Net interest income and net trading income are presented and discussed below in aggregate for each Operating Group, which management believes presents a more consistent overview of business performance and allows for a better analysis of the underlying activities and drivers.

Central Service Groups

The Central Service Groups provide a range of functions supporting MGL's Operating Groups, ensuring that they have the appropriate workplace support and systems to operate effectively and the necessary resources to meet their regulatory, compliance, financial, legal and risk management requirements.

Central Service Groups recover their costs from Operating Groups generally on either a time and effort allocation basis or a fee for service basis. Central Service Groups include the Corporate Operations Group (COG), Financial Management, People and Engagement (FPE), Risk Management Group (RMG), Legal and Governance Group (LGG) and Central Executive.

Performance-related profit share and share-based payments expense

Performance-related profit share and share-based payments expenses relating to the Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan (MEREP) are recognised in the Corporate segment and are not allocated to Operating Groups.

Income tax

The income tax expense and benefit is recognised in the Corporate segment and is not allocated to the Operating Groups. However, to recognise an Operating Group's contribution to permanent income tax differences, the internal management revenue/(charge) category is used. In circumstances where income tax returns have not yet been lodged, the timing of recognition of any benefit or impact is subject to Senior Management discretion.

This internal management revenue/(charge) category, which is primarily used for permanent income tax differences generated by the Operating Groups, is offset by an equal and opposite amount recognised in the Corporate segment such that they are eliminated on consolidation.

Presentation of segment income statements

The income statements on the following pages for each of the reported segments are in some cases summarised by grouping non-material balances together. Where appropriate, all material or key balances have been reported separately to provide users with information relevant to the understanding of the Consolidated Entity's financial performance. The financial information disclosed relates to the Consolidated Entity's ordinary activities.

Transactions under common control

On 29 August 2025, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in MIFL and its subsidiaries from MBL for a total cash consideration of $A3,023 million.

In September 2025, the Consolidated Entity made the payment of

$A321 million for 100% of the net capital invested in the Shield Master Fund (Shield) by those who invested through Macquarie. This comprised the acquisition of financial investments in Shield at fair value ($A224 million) and a goodwill payment ($A97 million).

Net interest and trading expense of $A289 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 decreased 44% from $A514 million in the prior year, primarily driven by higher interest income, the majority of which relates to interest generated on financial investments held against MAM's reinsurance and related obligations in InEvo Re and favourable foreign exchange movements on investments

and receivables.

Lower funding costs following the sale of the divested business in the second half and Macquarie Rotorcraft in the prior year, were partially offset by increased funding costs primarily due to investments in Macquarie-managed funds and seed investments.

Base fees

Base fee income of $A2,551 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 decreased 13% from $A2,925 million in the prior year.

Base fees in Private Markets decreased primarily driven by asset realisations and the impact of the spin-off of the majority of the Core/Core Plus real estate business in the prior year, partially offset by fundraising and investments made by funds

and mandates.

Base fees in Public Investments decreased primarily driven by the impact of the sale of the divested business in the second half, partially offset by positive net flows and market movements.

Performance fees

Performance fees are typically generated from Macquarie-managed funds and assets that have outperformed

pre-defined benchmarks.

Performance fees of $A1,381 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 increased 65% from $A837 million in the prior year.

The year ended 31 March 2026 included performance fees from a range of funds, managed accounts and co-investors, including MIP IV and Aligned Data Centers co-investors, MAIF2, MKOF5 co-investors and funds managed on behalf of wealth investors.

The prior year included performance fees from a range of funds, managed accounts and co-investors, including MAIF2, MEIF4 and MIP III.

Other fee and commission income

Other fee and commission income includes fees related to distribution and marketing services, transfer agent oversight services and commission income.

Distribution and marketing service fees, primarily earned by the divested business, are offset by associated expenses that, for accounting purposes, are recognised in Operating expenses.

Other fee and commission income of $A388 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 decreased 14% from $A450 million in the prior year, primarily due to the sale of the divested business in the second half.

Net investment income

Net investment income of $A492 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 increased 23% from $A399 million in the prior year, primarily driven by the gain on sale of the divested business in the second half, net of associated transaction and separation costs, partially offset by the gain on sale of Macquarie Rotorcraft in the prior year.

Share of net profits from associates and joint ventures

Share of net profits from associates and joint ventures of

$A183 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 decreased 25% from $A245 million in the prior year, primarily driven by lower net profits from the sale of underlying assets, partially offset by gains on asset revaluations within equity accounted investments

and funds.

Other (charges)/income

Other charges of $A27 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 compared to other income of $A261 million in the prior year, primarily driven by the non-recurrence of operating lease income following the sale of Macquarie Rotorcraft and the remeasurement of MAM's reinsurance and related obligations

in InEvo Re.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses of $A2,122 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 decreased 16% from $A2,515 million in the prior year, primarily driven by the sale of the divested business in the second half.

AUM by region

Private Markets AUM of $A416.1 billion as at 31 March 2026 increased 7% from $A389.0 billion as at 31 March 2025, primarily driven by investments and net asset valuation changes, partially offset by unfavourable foreign exchange movements and divestments of underlying assets.

Public Investments AUM of $A306.0 billion as at 31 March 2026 decreased 45% from $A552.0 billion as at 31 March 2025, due to the transfer of AUM following the sale of the North American and European Public Investments business. Excluding the divested business, Public Investments AUM increased 10%3 from 31 March 2025, primarily driven by favourable net flows and market movements.

1 Private Markets AUM excluding Real Estate is calculated as the proportional ownership interest in the underlying assets of funds and mandated assets that Macquarie actively manages or advises for the purpose of wealth creation, adjusted to exclude cross-holdings in funds and reflects Macquarie's proportional ownership interest of the fund manager. Private Markets AUM includes equity yet to deploy and equity committed to assets but not yet deployed.

2 Real Estate AUM represents the proportional gross asset value (including estimated total project costs for developments) of real estate assets owned by funds or managed by investee platforms.

3 The North American and European Public Investments business AUM balance was $A274.4 billion as at 31 March 2025. Approximately $A250 billion of AUM was transferred on completion of the sale.

2.2 MAM: Equity Under Management

The Private Markets division of MAM tracks its funds under management using an Equity under Management (EUM) measure as base management fee income is typically aligned with EUM.

Type of equity investment Basis of EUM calculation

Listed equity • Market capitalisation at the measurement date plus underwritten or committed future capital raisings for listed funds.

Unlisted equity • Committed capital from investors at the measurement date less called capital subsequently returned to investors for unlisted funds.

• Invested capital at measurement date for managed businesses.1

If a fund is managed through a joint venture with another party, the EUM amount is weighted based on Macquarie's proportionate economic interest in the joint venture management entity.

EUM by type

EUM by region4

EUM of $A218.0 billion as at 31 March 2026 decreased 1% from $A221.1 billion as at 31 March 2025, primarily driven by unfavourable foreign exchange movements, partially offset by equity raised for unlisted funds and co-investments.

1 Managed businesses includes third-party equity invested in Private Markets-managed businesses where management arrangements exist with Macquarie.

2 Excludes equity invested by Macquarie directly into businesses managed by Private Markets.

3 Where a fund's EUM is denominated in a foreign currency, amounts are translated to Australian dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the measurement date.

4 By location of fund management team.

Net credit and other impairment charges

Net credit and other impairment charges of $A36 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 decreased 20% from $A45 million in the prior year, largely driven by changes in portfolio mix and the partial sale of the car loans portfolio, partially offset by uncertainty in the macroeconomic outlook and volume growth.

Commodities net interest and trading income

1. Risk management

   Income from risk management is driven by managing clients' exposure to commodity price volatility, which is supported by our strong internal risk management framework.

   Risk management income of $A2,282 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 increased 16% from $A1,964 million in the prior year, primarily driven by increased client hedging activity across Global Gas and Power businesses and Global Oil.

2. Lending and financing

   Lending and financing activities include interest income from the provision of loans and working capital finance to clients across a range of commodity sectors including metals, energy and agriculture. Commodities lending and financing activities are primarily secured against underlying assets and typically have associated hedging to protect against downside risk.

3. Inventory management and trading

CGM enters into financial and physical contracts including exchange traded derivatives, OTC derivatives, storage contracts and transportation agreements as part of its commodities platform. These arrangements enable CGM to facilitate client transactions and provide CGM with trading opportunities where there is an imbalance between the supply and demand for commodities. Revenue is dependent on a number of factors including the volume of transactions, the level of risk assumed and the volatility of price movements across commodity markets and products.

Storage and transportation contracts, which are managed on a fair value basis for financial and risk management purposes, are required to be accounted for on an accruals basis for statutory reporting purposes, which may result in some variability in the timing of reported income.

Inventory management and trading income of $A899 million for the year ended 31 March 2026 increased 30% from $A690 million in the prior year, driven by supply and demand imbalances in North American Gas and Power and oil trading, partially offset by timing of income recognition on gas storage and transport contracts.
