X. CREDIT RISK RETENTION

       

On the Closing Date, Santander Consumer or another wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Santander Consumer retained a portion of the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Certificates in order to satisfy the obligations of Santander Consumer under the requirements of the SEC’s credit risk retention rules 17 C.F.R. Part 246 (“Regulation RR”), as in effect and applicable on the Closing Date. The portion of the Certificates being retained to satisfy the requirements of Regulation RR is referred to herein as the “Retained Interest.” As of the last day of the period covered by this report the depositor or another wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of Santander Consumer continues to retain the Retained Interest in accordance with Regulation RR.    

The depositor and its affiliates pledge retained securities as collateral for loans, repurchase agreements or other financing transactions from time to time. However, Santander Consumer has not transferred or hedged the Retained Interest except as permitted under Regulation RR.

Santander Consumer determined that the fair value, as of the Closing Date, of the Notes and the Certificates is approximately $2,192,020,646, and that the fair value of the Certificates is approximately $136,330,646,, which is approximately 6.22% of the fair value of the Notes and the Certificates. Santander Consumer, or an affiliate of Santander Consumer, retained all of the Certificates as of the Closing Date. The portion of the Retained Interest being retained to satisfy the requirements of Regulation RR is 80.39% Percentage Interest in the Certificates, which Santander Consumer determined to have a fair value of approximately $109,601,033, as of the Closing Date, which is at least 5% of the fair value of the Notes and the Certificates. There were no material changes in the method or inputs and assumptions used by Santander Consumer to calculate the fair value of the Notes and the Certificates as of the Closing Date from the methods or inputs and assumptions used by Santander Consumer to calculate the fair value in the Preliminary Prospectus for the Notes dated July 15, 2025.

Santander Consumer has not changed the manner in which it retains the Retained Interest, except in accordance with Regulation RR.

There was no material change in Santander Consumer’s, or an affiliate of Santander Consumer’s, interest in any securities issued by the issuer resulting from the purchase, sale or other acquisition or disposition of securities between the Closing Date and the last day of the period covered by this report.

No assets securitized by Santander Consumer USA Inc. (the “Securitizer”) and held by Santander Drive Auto Receivables Trust 2025-3 were the subject of a demand to repurchase or replace for breach of the representations and warranties during the current monthly distribution period. Please refer to the Form ABS-15G filed by the Securitizer on January 29, 2025 for additional information. The CIK number of the Securitizer is 0001540151.
