Macquarie Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Shemara Wikramanayake, confirmed that trading conditions were satisfactory in 3Q26.

The Bank Group's APRA Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.4 per cent, the APRA leverage ratio was 4.6 per cent, the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) was 178 per cent, and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) was 111 per cent at 31 December 2025.

Macquarie continues to maintain a cautious stance, with a conservative approach to capital, funding and liquidity that positions it well to respond to the current environment. The range of factors that may influence the short-term outlook include market conditions, completion of period-end reviews and transactions, the geographic composition of income and the impact of foreign exchange, and potential tax or regulatory changes and uncertainties.
