Oct 24 (Reuters) - Australia's Westpac Banking Corp (WBC.AX) warned on Monday that its second-half reported net profit and cash earnings will be reduced by A$1.3 billion ($824 million) after tax, citing a loss on the sale of its life insurance business, among others. Westpac, the country's third-largest lender, said the one-off charge will have a net positive impact of 12 basis points (bps) on its common equity tier 1 capital ratio as the unit sale added 17 bps. Westpac is set to announce its fiscal 2022 results on Nov. 7.

Westpac on Tuesday separately confirmed the talks in a brief statement and said a potential deal would strengthen its small business proposition. "From a Tyro perspective, it's clear that Westpac would have significantly more synergies than the PE consortium. He said the logic of synergies from a deal for Tyro should also apply to Westpac's rivals National Australia Bank (NAB.AX) and Australia an New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ.AX).
