Significant events in the period
Completion of the TSB acquisition
•On 30 April 2026, Santander completed the acquisition of TSB Banking Group plc (TSB), the UK subsidiary of Banco de Sabadell, S.A. (Sabadell), having received the required regulatory approvals and fulfilled the conditions required for closing, for a cash consideration of approximately GBP 2.9 billion (approximately EUR 3.3 billion), with a -55 bp impact on the June 2026 CET1 capital ratio.
•TSB is fully incorporated within the Retail & Commercial Banking global business. Therefore, from 1 May 2026, the balance sheet and results of Grupo Santander, Retail & Commercial Banking (within Retail UK) and the UK secondary segment include TSB. As a result, unless otherwise stated, all metrics for Q2 2026 and H1 2026 included in this report incorporate TSB’s business from May 2026. However, we provide some underlying income statements and balance sheet metrics excluding TSB to facilitate comparisons.
•As of 30 June 2026, TSB had approximately EUR 53 billion of total assets, a gross loan book of EUR 42 billion, more than 90% of which is residential mortgage lending, and around EUR 42 billion of customer funds, fully comprising customer deposits, of which over 80% are demand deposits. TSB has approximately 4,700 employees, around 180 branches and over 4 million customers in the UK.
Changes to Group Reporting in 2026
•On 10 February 2026, the Group announced a series of changes to its reporting structure, effective from Q1 2026. They do not change the Group’s reported profit attributable to the parent nor do they affect the Group's targets announced to the market in the Q4 2025 results presentation.
•These changes, which affect the income statements and certain management metrics, have been applied to the information reported from Q1 2026 onwards, as well as to prior periods presented in this report to facilitate comparisons. These changes do not affect the Group’s consolidated balance sheet. For further information on these changes, see the 'Significant events in the period' section of the Q1 2026 Quarterly financial report.
•In addition, other minor changes affecting the primary and secondary segments were disclosed, which are detailed in the 'Financial information by segment' section of this report.
Announcement of the Webster acquisition
•On 3 February 2026, Santander announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire 100% of Webster Financial Corporation’s (Webster) share capital, a US retail and commercial bank, highly complementary to the activities and services Santander provides in the US. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the corresponding regulatory approvals. In May 2026, Webster's shareholders approved the transaction. Once completed, we expect that this acquisition, valued at USD 12.2 billion (approximately EUR 10.3 billion), will enable us to improve Santander's positioning and market share in the country.
Completion of the Poland disposal
•On 9 January 2026, Banco Santander and Erste Group Bank AG (Erste) announced the completion of the sale of Santander Bank Polska (Santander Poland), which had been disclosed in May 2025, after obtaining all required regulatory approvals and fulfilling of the conditions for closing. The abovementioned transaction will hereinafter be referred to as the 'Poland disposal'.
•Erste acquired approximately 49% of the share capital of Santander Poland and the 50% of the asset management company (TFI) which was not integrated within Santander Poland, for a total cash consideration of approximately EUR 7 billion. The all-cash transaction at 584 zlotys per share values the bank at 2.2 times Q1 2025 tangible book value per share and represents a premium of 7.5% versus Santander Poland's closing price on 2 May 2025, excluding the dividend paid in May 2025.
•The transaction generated a net capital gain of EUR 1,895 million for Santander, increasing its CET1 ratio by 95 basis points, equivalent to around EUR 6 billion. The financial impacts on both results and capital from this transaction were recorded in Q1 2026. For further information, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.

Note: for Argentina and any grouping which includes it, the variations in constant euros have been calculated considering the Argentine peso exchange rate on the last working day for each of the periods presented. For further information, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in the appendix to this report.
Certain figures contained in this report, have been subject to rounding to enhance their presentation. Accordingly, in certain instances, the sum of the numbers in a column or a row in tables contained in this report may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column or row.
1.In the Group's consolidated balance sheet, balances as at 30 June 2026 include TSB, affecting comparisons with prior periods. The assets associated with the Poland disposal were classified under the 'non-current assets held for sale' line item and the related liabilities under 'liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale' from the announcement of disposal until its completion.
2.In the statutory income statement, results associated with the business subject to the Poland disposal in all periods in 2025 and the resulting capital gain in Q1 2026 are reported under a single line item in the consolidated income statement — 'profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations'. Consequently, the results from the Poland disposal perimeter are excluded line by line from the breakdown of continuing operations, though they are included in the profit attributable to the parent and, therefore, in the metrics calculated based on said profit.
3.For further information, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.
4.In the underlying income statement, results associated with the business subject to the Poland disposal in all periods in 2025 and the resulting capital gain in Q1 2026 are recorded in 'non-recurring items'. This line item also includes restructuring costs associated with M&A transactions, such as those recorded in Q2 2026 relating to the TSB acquisition. These items grouped under ‘non-recurring items’ are excluded from underlying profit and underlying metrics, and explain the difference between underlying attributable profit and profit attributable to the parent.
5.In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and derived from our consolidated financial statements, this report contains certain financial measures that constitute alternative performance measures (APMs) as defined in the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 October 2015, and other non-IFRS financial measures, including the figures related to “underlying” results, which do not include factors that are outside the ordinary course of our business, or have been reclassified within the underlying income statement. Further details are provided in the 'Alternative performance measures' section in the appendix to this report. For further details on the APMs and non-IFRS measures used, including their definition or a reconciliation between any applicable management indicators and the financial data presented in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS, please see our 2025 Annual financial report, published in the CNMV on 25 February 2026, our 20-F report for the year ending 31 December 2025 filed with the SEC in the United States on 25 February 2026, as updated by the Form 6-K filed with the SEC on 1 April 2026 in order to reflect our new reporting structure as well as the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.

•General background
Group financial information
General background
Grupo Santander's operating environment in Q2 2026 was characterized by some volatility, particularly due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, at the end of the quarter, economic growth indicators were solid across our footprint and unemployment rates remained relatively low in general. Uncertainty regarding the global economic outlook persists and we therefore expect a moderate economic slowdown compared to our previous estimates, as well as a pickup in global inflation, driven by a negative supply shock resulting from the conflict in the Middle East.

Country
GDP Change1
Economic performance
eua.jpg
Eurozone
+0.3%Economic growth slowed and inflation increased following the conflict with Iran, due to higher energy prices, though second-round effects remained limited. In June, the ECB raised its deposit facility rate to 2.25%.
spaina.jpg
Spain
+2.7%
Indicators in Q2 2026 point to solid growth, albeit more moderate than in the previous quarter. Industrial activity remained dynamic, partly driven by front-loading of orders, while consumer confidence deteriorated further. Employment accelerated in Q2 2026 and unemployment fell to 2.2 million. Inflation stabilized at 3.2% in June, though services prices are accelerating. So far, there are no clear signs of second-round effects.
uka.jpg
UK
+0.9%The economy started 2026 more strongly than expected, but more recent data point to a clear loss of momentum. The labour market continued to weaken, though the pace of rebalancing could be stabilizing: the unemployment rate fell to 4.9%, partly due to higher inactivity, while private sector wage growth moderated further. Headline inflation fell to 2.8% in May. Following the 25 bp cut in January, the Bank of England held interest rates at 3.75% in June.
portugala.jpg
Portugal
+2.3%Portugal began Q2 2026 with moderate growth after stagnating in Q1 2026. The rebound in inflation to 3.3% in May and weaker confidence could weigh on consumption, though the solid labour market (with the unemployment rate at 5.5% in May), tourism and sound public finances should continue to support activity. The main downside risk stems from weakness in external demand and goods exports. S&P, Fitch and DBRS revised the sovereign debt outlooks from stable to positive in 2026.
usa.jpg
US
+2.7%Solid economic growth in Q2 2026 was driven by the sharp increase in investment, despite uncertainty stemming from the conflict in the Middle East. The unemployment rate remained stable, with employment growth in line with labour force growth. Inflation remained elevated in June (3.5%). The Federal Reserve held the interest rate range at 3.5%–3.75% in June and noted concerns about inflation having been above the 2% target for more than five years.
mexicoa.jpg
Mexico
+0.2%After a weak Q1 2026, the economy showed signs of recovery at the beginning of Q2 2026, which we expect to strengthen in the coming months, albeit with modest growth. Exports continued to grow solidly and the labour market remained resilient, with a very low unemployment rate (2.7% in May). Inflation moderated to 3.4% in June, mainly driven by lower food prices. The central bank cut interest rates by 25 bps again in May, bringing them to 6.5%, and indicated it is likely to hold rates going forward.
brazila.jpg
Brazil
+1.8%At the beginning of Q2 2026, the economy consolidated the recovery that began in the previous two quarters, supported by the reactivation of industrial activity and the resilience of services. The labour market remained solid, with the unemployment rate close to historical lows (5.6% in May). Inflation rebounded to 4.6% in June, driven by higher fuel, transport and food prices, and services prices remained elevated. The central bank continued its gradual easing cycle, lowering the policy rate by 25 bps in April and again in June to 14.25%, and remained cautious about the outlook, closely monitoring inflation trends and expectations.
chilea.jpg
Chile-0.5%Following the decline in Q1 2026, the economy remained weak in Q2 2026, driven by domestic demand, though there are signs of improvement in mining. Inflation picked up to 4.3% in June, mainly driven by energy and food prices, though expectations remain anchored at the 3% target from 2027 onwards. In Q2 2026, the central bank held rates at 4.5%, adopting a cautious tone given the conflict in the Middle East, though it acknowledged that inflation risks are beginning to balance out.
argentinaa.jpg
Argentina+2.3%During 2026, the economy has shown mixed signals, with weaker domestic demand, while exports remained solid. In Q2 2026, inflation moderated following the uptick at the beginning of the year, with a monthly average inflation of 2.2% in Q2 2026, compared to 3.1% in Q1 2026. The central bank maintained a restrictive stance, though with some signs of easing at the margin. Fiscal policy remained contractionary, meeting surplus targets and contributing to Fitch's and S&P’s recent sovereign rating upgrades from CCC+ to B-.

uIn Q2 2026, profit attributable to the parent was EUR 3,518 million, which included TSB results from May 2026. The quarter-on-quarter comparison was significantly impacted by the EUR 1,895 million capital gain from the completion of the Poland disposal in Q1 2026 and by EUR 250 million of restructuring charges associated with the TSB integration in Q2 2026, resulting in a 36% decline.
Excluding these two non-recurring impacts, underlying attributable profit was EUR 3,768 million, achieving another quarterly record, up 6% compared to Q1 2026. In constant euros, profit increased 5% quarter-on-quarter, supported by strong increases in net interest income and net fee income. Additionally, the quarter-on-quarter comparison was favoured by the incorporation of TSB and the provisions for potential complaints related to motor finance dealer commissions in the UK recorded in Q1 2026.
uYear-on-year, profit attributable to the parent in H1 2026 increased 31% to EUR 8,973 million, favoured by the aforementioned capital gain. In underlying terms, profit rose 15% year-on-year to EUR 7,328 million. In constant euros, underlying attributable profit rose 14%, driven by good performances in revenue and costs, with the cost of risk practically stable, and a small positive impact from the incorporation of TSB.
uUnderlying attributable profit grew strongly year-on-year across most of our global businesses, supported by good revenue performances and cost management.
uThese strong results put us in a good position to meet our 2026 targets.
uProfitability improved significantly year-on-year, achieving a RoTE of 17.4% in H1 2026 and the underlying RoTE increased to 15.6%, advancing towards our goal of achieving a RoTE above 20% in 2028.
uWe continued to record sustained earnings per share growth, increasing to EUR 60 cents in H1 2026, favoured by the capital gain from the Poland disposal. Underlying earnings per share improved by 20% year-on-year to EUR 48 cents, boosted by positive profit trends and the share buybacks executed over the last 12 months.
uIn terms of business volumes, both loans and advances to customers and customer funds grew at a solid pace, supported by our focus on active and disciplined capital management and profitable growth. They were also favoured by the incorporation of TSB.
Gross loans and advances to customers (excluding reverse repos) rose 9% year-on-year in constant euros. Excluding TSB, they increased 5% in constant euros, boosted by widespread growth across businesses.
Customer funds (customer deposits excluding repos plus mutual funds) grew 11% year-on-year in constant euros. Excluding TSB, they rose 7% in constant euros, increasing across all global businesses. Customer deposits excluding TSB rose 5% in constant euros, mainly driven by time deposits, and mutual funds increased double digits.
uIn a somewhat volatile environment, total income grew 6% year-on-year. In constant euros, it also rose 6% (+5% excluding TSB, in line with our 2026 target), underpinned by solid performances in net interest income (+6%), driven by higher volumes and our active balance sheet management, and net fee income (+7%), boosted by higher activity and transactionality.
uTotal costs were flat year-on-year in euros. In constant euros, they decreased 1%, -2% excluding TSB, in line with our 2026 target. These solid performances in revenue and costs continued to reflect the progress in our ONE Transformation strategy. As a result, the efficiency ratio improved year-on-year to 42.8%, supported by all businesses.
uCredit quality remained robust, supported by our good risk management and low unemployment levels across our footprint. The Group's cost of risk was virtually unchanged year-on-year at 1.15%, even after the impact from a weaker performance in Argentina in the year, reflecting sector-wide trends in the country. In Retail and Openbank, which accounted for more than 90% of the Group's net loan-loss provisions, cost of risk was 1.19% and 2.09%, respectively.
u The NPL ratio remained at low levels (2.93%), broadly in line with June 2025 (+3 bps year-on-year). The NPL coverage ratio stood at 64%. Total loan-loss reserves ended the quarter at EUR 24,207 million.
uThe CET1 ratio ended June 2026 at 14.0% after recording a -55 bp impact from the closing of the TSB acquisition. Excluding this impact, the CET1 ratio rose 0.2 pp in the quarter, with net organic generation (+27 bps), from +61 bps from attributable profit, -33 bps from capital distributions2 (in line with our 50% payout target) and -1 bp from net RWA growth. Taking into account the expected impact from the Webster acquisition, which is still subject to completion, we remain on track to meet our aim to end the year with a CET1 ratio in the range of 12.8-13%, at the top end of our 12-13% operating range.

Note: in this section, unless indicated otherwise, results are presented on an underlying basis and management metrics exclude Poland in all periods of 2025. For further information, see the 'Significant events in the period' and 'Alternative performance measures' sections in this report.
1.CET1 ratio on a phased-in basis, calculated in accordance with the transitory treatment of the CRR.
2.Capital distribution includes deduction for the accrual of ordinary shareholder remuneration and AT1 costs. For further information on our shareholder remuneration policy, see the 'Santander share' section in this report.

uOn 27 March 2026, the general shareholders' meeting approved a final cash dividend of EUR 12.50 cents per share against H2 2025 results, which was paid in May 2026. Considering the interim cash dividend of EUR 11.50 cents per share paid in November 2025, the total cash dividend per share paid against 2025 results was EUR 24.00 cents, 14% higher than that paid against 2024 results.
uOn 3 February 2026, the board of directors approved the Second 2025 Buyback Programme worth up to EUR 5,030 million. The programme started on 4 February 2026.
This programme includes EUR 1,830 million as part of our ordinary shareholder remuneration policy charged against H2 2025 results and the remaining amount corresponds to an extraordinary buyback of EUR 3,200 million, equivalent to approximately 50% of the CET1 capital generated following completion of the Poland disposal.
This programme puts us on track to achieve our goal of distributing at least EUR 10 billion through share buybacks charged against 2025 and 2026 results and against expected capital excess1. Considering the share buyback currently underway, we have already carried out approximately 80% of this goal.
uConsidering the cash dividends and the two share buybacks as part of our ordinary payout policy, total shareholder remuneration charged against 2025 results will be around EUR 7,030 million (approximately 50% of the Group's 2025 net reported profit, excluding non-cash, non-capital ratios impact items), split almost evenly between cash dividends and share buybacks. This is a 12% increase compared to the ordinary shareholder remuneration charged against 2024 results.
uAt the end of the quarter, TNAV per share was EUR 6.32. Including the cash dividends charged against 2025 results, TNAV per share increased 19% year-on-year.

uWe continued to make progress in the implementation of our global platforms, which represent a clear competitive advantage, as the capability to build platforms once and deploy them across multiple markets enables us to improve time-to-market, cost to serve and customer satisfaction.
uThese developments, alongside other initiatives focused on delivering the best experience to our customers and improving service quality, enable us to continue to attract more customers to the Group.
uAs a result, total customers increased 12 million year-on-year and active customers grew 6 million year-on-year, both also favoured by the incorporation of TSB.

uIn Retail, underlying attributable profit grew 12% to EUR 4,124 million, boosted by solid performance in revenue and by a strong reduction in costs, reflecting our transformation efforts. It was also slightly favoured by the incorporation of TSB from May 2026.
uThe efficiency ratio improved to 40.5% and cost of risk stood at 1.19%. RoTE rose to 17.1%.
uIn Openbank, profit before tax increased 15% excluding the additional provisions in the UK, driven by solid performances in revenue and costs, which was not reflected in underlying attributable profit, which was also impacted by the end of tax benefits for electric vehicles in the US in 2025.
uThe efficiency ratio improved to 41.6% and cost of risk stood at 2.09%, with RoTE at 7.7%.
uIn CIB, underlying attributable profit increased 17% to EUR 1,742 million, due to higher revenue across all business lines, but especially due to a strong Q1 in Global Markets and a solid Q2 in Global Banking.
uThe efficiency ratio improved to 40.8% and RoTE to 20.3%.
uIn Wealth, underlying attributable profit rose 19% to EUR 1,083 million, boosted by solid activity, with double-digit growth in both net fee income and gains on financial transactions.

1.As previously announced, Santander intends to allocate at least EUR 10 billion to shareholders through share buybacks charged against 2025 and 2026 results and against the expected capital excess. This share buyback target includes: i) buybacks that are part of the existing shareholder remuneration policy; and ii) additional buybacks following the publication of annual results to distribute year-end excesses of CET1 capital. The implementation of the shareholder remuneration policy and additional buybacks is subject to corporate and regulatory decisions and approvals.
2.As % of total operating areas, excluding the Corporate Centre.

H1 2026 results compared to H1 2025
In H1 2026, profit attributable to the parent totalled EUR 8,973 million, including the capital gain of EUR 1,895 million from the closing of the Poland disposal in Q1 2026 and TSB results from May 2026. Thus, profit increased 31% year-on-year, also supported by the solid performances across businesses and good activity levels.
Total income
Total income in H1 2026 amounted to EUR 30,822 million, up 6% year-on-year. By line:
•Net interest income (NII) totalled EUR 22,711 million, 7% higher than in H1 2025, supported by solid performances in Retail, CIB and Openbank.

•Net fee income amounted to EUR 6,851 million, up 8% compared to H1 2025, underpinned by growth across all businesses. Of note were Retail, where we saw strong growth across most countries, and CIB and Wealth, both driven by solid commercial activity.

chart-f4c53fd306594668ac9a.jpg
•Gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities and exchange differences reached EUR 732 million (EUR 1,032 million in H1 2025) driven by lower results in the Corporate Centre, due to a greater impact from foreign currency hedges, and in CIB, affected by lower volatility in Europe and Latin America.
•Dividend income was EUR 624 million (EUR 471 million in H1 2025), with the increase mainly driven by dividends from our stake in Poland recorded in the Corporate Centre.
•Income from companies accounted for by the equity method reached EUR 476 million, compared to EUR 332 million in H1 2025, supported by higher results from certain stakes recorded in the Corporate Centre.
•Other operating income recorded a loss of EUR 572 million, (compared to a EUR 410 million loss in H1 2025), affected by a more negative impact from the hyperinflation adjustment in Argentina and lower leasing revenue in Openbank US.
In summary, we had a solid performance in total income, reflecting the benefits of our diversification and global scale, our sound margin management and higher volumes.

Operating expenses
Operating expenses in H1 2026 amounted to EUR 12,535 million, increasing slightly year-on-year (+1%), rising at a much slower pace than revenue.
Our cost management continued to focus on further structurally improving efficiency. We continued to drive our business model transformation plan, ONE Transformation, which, together with the rollout of our global platforms, the use of AI and network effects across our footprint, is resulting in greater operational leverage and better commercial dynamics.

Impairment or reversal of impairment of financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss (net)
Impairment of financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss (net) was EUR 6,571 million, impacted by Argentina, reflecting sector-wide trends in the country. In H1 2025, it was EUR 6,524 million and included provisions which strengthened the balance sheet after having updated macroeconomic parameters in Brazil’s credit provisioning models.
Impairment on other assets (net)
The impairment on other assets (net) was EUR 30 million. In H1 2025, the impairment on other assets totalled EUR 147 million.
Gains or losses on non-financial assets and investments (net)
This line recorded a net gain of EUR 16 million in H1 2026. In the same period in 2025, this line recorded a EUR 32 million loss.
Negative goodwill recognized in results
In H1 2026, there was EUR 5 million of negative goodwill. In H1 2025, we recorded EUR 22 million relating to the acquisition of CrediScotia Financiera from Scotiabank which expanded our presence in the consumer business in Peru.
Gains or losses on non-current assets held for sale not classified as discontinued operations
This item, which mainly includes the sale and impairments of foreclosed assets, recorded a EUR 4 million gain in H1 2026. In H1 2025, this line recorded a EUR 217 million gain, which included a capital gain in Q2 2025 of EUR 231 million from the sale of Santander’s remaining 30.5% stake in CACEIS.
Profit or loss before tax from continuing operations
Profit before tax was EUR 9,961 million in H1 2026, up 9% year-on-year, supported by solid performances in net interest income and net fee income, with good cost management.
Tax expense or income from continuing operations
Total tax expense in H1 2026 amounted to EUR 2,442 million, which includes a EUR 174 million charge corresponding to the accrual of the tax on expected income obtained in Spain for the year. In H1 2025, tax expense was EUR 2,367 million and included a EUR 174 million charge corresponding to the accrual of the tax on expected income obtained in Spain for the year.
Profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations
Profit from discontinued operations totalled EUR 1,895 million in H1 2026 corresponding to the capital gain generated from the completion of the Poland disposal, compared to EUR 726 million in H1 2025 which reflects the results associated with the business subject to the Poland disposal.
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to EUR 441 million in H1 2026, compared to EUR 630 million in H1 2025.
Profit attributable to the parent
Profit attributable to the parent rose to a new record of EUR 8,973 million in H1 2026, compared to EUR 6,833 million in H1 2025. This 31% increase year-on-year was driven by our solid revenue performance and good cost control, also supported by the aforementioned capital gain, which more than offset the impact of additional provisions for potential complaints related to motor finance dealer commissions in the UK mainly in Q1 2026, amounting to EUR 194 million net of tax and non-controlling interests.

The Group presents, both at the total Group level and for each of the business units, the changes in euros registered in the income statement, as well as variations excluding the exchange rate effect (i.e. in constant euros, except for Argentina and any grouping which includes it), understanding that the latter provide a better analysis of the Group’s management. For further information, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.
At the Group level, the impact of exchange rates during the period was not significant, with a favourable year-on-year impact of 0.7 pp on total income and an unfavourable impact of 0.2 pp on total costs.
In addition, to better understand the business trends, the underlying income statement includes the reclassification of certain items. These reclassifications between the underlying income statement and the statutory income statement include:
In H1 2026:
•Certain charges that, in the statutory income statement are recorded under the 'other results and provisions' line item, are presented in the underlying income statement under 'total costs'. These are mainly related to recurring operating charges, primarily related to labour and legal processes, amounting to EUR 676 million.
•In Q2 2026, we recorded additional provisions totalling EUR 39 million, net of tax and non-controlling interests, for potential complaints related to motor finance dealer commissions in the UK associated with our joint ventures, reclassified to the ‘other results and provisions’ line item.
In H1 2025:
•In the statutory income statement, the results related to the business subject to the Poland disposal are reported in the 'profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations' line item.
However, in the underlying income statement, the results related to the business subject to the Poland disposal are recorded in a single line item under 'non-recurring items', and are therefore excluded from the Group's underlying profit.
•Additionally, certain charges that, in the statutory income statement are recorded under the 'other results and provisions' line item, are presented in the underlying income statement under 'total costs'. These are mainly related to recurring operating charges, primarily related to labour and legal processes, amounting to EUR 865 million.

•Underlying income statement
Additionally, regarding results that fall outside the ordinary course of our business and are therefore excluded from the underlying income statement:
In H1 2026:
•The total amount recorded under the 'non-recurring items' line item was EUR 1,645 million, including the EUR 1,895 million capital gain from the completion of the Poland disposal in Q1 2026 and a EUR 250 million charge (net of tax) from M&A-related restructuring costs in Q2 2026 associated with the TSB acquisition.
In H1 2025:
•The total amount in 'non-recurring items' was EUR 456 million corresponding to the results related to the business subject to the Poland disposal.
•Additionally, in Q2 2025 this line included the following two events of the same value but opposite signs:
•A capital gain of EUR 231 million from the sale of Santander’s remaining 30.5% stake in CACEIS.
•A one-off charge of EUR 467 million (EUR 231 million, net of tax and minority interests), which strengthened the balance sheet after having updated macroeconomic parameters in Brazil’s credit provisioning models.
For further information on the reconciliation between the statutory and underlying income statements, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.
As a result, profit attributable to the parent and underlying profit attributable to the parent were not the same in either period.
•Profit attributable to the parent in H1 2026 was EUR 8,973 million, compared to EUR 6,833 million in H1 2025, representing a 31% year-on-year increase in euros, also +31% in constant euros.
•Underlying profit attributable to the parent reached EUR 7,328 million in H1 2026, compared to EUR 6,377 million in H1 2025. This represents a 15% increase year-on-year in euros, +14% in constant euros.
This underlying profit year-on-year comparison reflects solid trends in both total income and total costs and was also slightly favoured by the incorporation of TSB from May 2026 (excluding TSB, underlying attributable profit rose 14%, also +14% in constant euros).
Total income amounted to EUR 30,847 million in H1 2026, a 6% increase year-on-year. In constant euros, it also increased by 6% year-on-year, with the following detail by line:
•Net interest income (NII) performed well, increasing 6% year-on-year. By business:
•In Retail, it grew by 4%, with positive performances in most countries supported by higher volumes and our active balance sheet management, in addition to being slightly favoured by the incorporation of TSB.

•In Openbank, the positive trends from last year continued, rising 4% especially in Openbank Europe and in South America, supported by higher volumes and disciplined margin management.
•In CIB, NII increased strongly (+36%), mainly due to higher financing volumes in less capital-intensive products in Global Markets.
•In Wealth, NII declined 1%, though it improved in the quarter supported by higher loan yields and an increase in the credit portfolio.
•In Payments, NII decreased 2%, mainly due to Argentina.

•Net fee income rose 7% year-on-year, driven by widespread growth across all businesses, benefitting from the network effect and higher transactionality. By business:
•In Retail, it grew by 6%, particularly in transactional, FX, insurance and mutual fund fees and with good trends across most countries.
•In Openbank, net fee income increased by 6%, with particularly strong performances in Brazil, which benefitted from portfolio expansion and higher insurance activity, and Europe, driven by a pickup in new business volumes.
•In CIB, it grew 7%, reflecting a strong second quarter in Global Banking, particularly in Corporate Finance in the US and Europe.
•In Wealth, it rose 11%, with strong performances in both business lines, but particularly in Private Banking, driven by solid commercial activity and our focus on promoting fee-generating activities and products.
•In Payments, it increased 8% driven mainly by Getnet due to higher activity.
This net fee income growth is in line with our target of increasing net fee income at a faster rate than net interest income.

•Gains on financial transactions decreased 29%, affected by a weaker performance in the Corporate Centre, due to higher impacts from foreign exchange hedges, and a decline CIB due to lower market volatility in Europe and Latin America, partially offset by solid performances in the other businesses, mainly in Wealth.
•Other operating income increased 44% compared to the same period in 2025, as dividends from our stake in Poland and higher results from certain stakes, both recorded in the Corporate Centre, more than offset a greater negative impact from the hyperinflation adjustment in Argentina and lower leasing revenue in Openbank US.
This total income performance keeps us on track to achieve our mid-single-digit revenue growth target for 2026.

Total costs in H1 2026 amounted to EUR 13,211 million, in line with H1 2025. In constant euros, they declined 1%. In real terms (i.e. excluding the impact of average inflation and perimeter effects and in constant euros), they were 5% lower.
The positive performance reflects our transformation efforts and lower charges related to asset impairments and operational risk, mainly in Retail in Spain and the UK and in Openbank Europe.

Our cost management remained focused on structurally improving our efficiency and our target of bringing it to levels close to 36% by the end of 2028. With that aim, we continued to make progress in our transformation plan, ONE Transformation, which provides greater operational leverage, improving business dynamics, simplifying processes and promoting leaner and more agile structures.
By business and in constant euros, total costs performed as follows:
•In Retail, total costs declined by 3%. In real terms, they fell 8%, reflecting our transformation efforts and lower asset impairment and operational risk charges. The efficiency ratio improved to 40.5% from 43.4% in H1 2025.
•In Openbank, total costs decreased 3%. In real terms, they declined 6% backed by our efficiency efforts and or focus on transformation, primarily in Europe and the US, as well as by lower legal and asset impairment charges. The efficiency ratio improved to 41.6% from 44.5% in H1 2025.
•In CIB, total costs rose 7%, +4% in real terms, reflecting higher activity levels, but they increased at a much slower pace than revenue. We maintained a leading position among peers in terms of efficiency, with the efficiency ratio improving to 40.8% from 44.7% in H1 2025.
•In Wealth, total costs grew 6%, +3% in real terms, due to our investments to strengthen our teams and develop new capabilities to address increasing commercial activity. The efficiency ratio improved to 35.0% from 36.3% in H1 2025.
•In Payments, total costs rose 8%, reflecting investments in the development of our global platforms. However, costs grew at a lower pace than revenue, which increased double digits.

Net operating income in H1 2026 amounted to EUR 17,636 million, up 12% compared to H1 2025. In constant euros, it rose 11%, underpinned by the good performances across net interest income and net fee income and reflecting the positive impacts from our transformation efforts on costs.
The efficiency ratio stood at 42.8%, improving by 3 pp year-on-year, supported by the positive dynamics in both revenue and costs, with efficiency improvements across all global businesses.

Net loan-loss provisions amounted to EUR 6,574 million in H1 2026, an 9% increase year-on-year.
In constant euros, they grew 7%, mainly due to higher provisions in Retail Argentina, reflecting sector-wide trends in the country and some single names in CIB in Europe and Brazil. Excluding Argentina, the Group's net loan-loss provisions were broadly stable in constant euros, with a good performance in Retail (mainly in Spain) and a decline in the Corporate Centre, having recorded provisions in H1 2025 related to our plan to accelerate NPL ratio reductions, which improved the Group's credit quality.
All in all, the cost of risk was broadly stable at 1.15%, in line with the Group’s year-end target.

Other gains (losses) and provisions registered a EUR 715 million loss, compared to a EUR 319 million loss in H1 2025. This comparison was impacted by the EUR 245 million additional provisions for potential complaints related to motor finance dealer
commissions in the UK (EUR 194 million, net of tax and non-controlling interests) in H1 2026 as well as by higher charges related to our transformation, mainly in Retail and Openbank Europe.
Tax on profit amounted to EUR 2,549 million, a 1% decline year-on-year. In constant euros, it fell 2%, mainly due to a lower tax burden in the Corporate Centre. In both H1 2026 and H1 2025, this line included a charge related to the accrual of the tax on expected income obtained in Spain for the year, for similar amounts.
Underlying profit attributable to the parent in H1 2026 reached EUR 7,328 million, 15% higher than in H1 2025. In constant euros, it increased by 14% year-on-year, keeping us on track to achieve our 2026 underlying profit target of more than EUR 14.1 billion.

The 'Non-recurring items' line in H1 2026 recorded a EUR 1,645 million result, corresponding to the capital gain from the completion of the Poland disposal in Q1 2026, partially offset by EUR 250 million of restructuring costs related to the TSB integration in Q2 2026. In H1 2025, this line recorded a EUR 456 million positive result related to the business subject to the Poland disposal.
Considering these non-recurring items, profit attributable to the parent in H1 2026 was EUR 8,973 million, +31% year-on-year, +31% also in constant euros.
RoTE for H1 2026 reached 17.4% compared to 16.0% in H1 2025. RoRWA was 2.81% (2.35% in H1 2025) and earnings per share stood at EUR 0.60 (EUR 0.43 in H1 2025).

•Underlying income statement
Q2 2026 results compared to Q1 2026
As described above, there were some results that did not form part of our underlying business that were included under 'non-recurring items' in both Q2 2026 and Q1 2026. We recorded a EUR 250 million (net of tax) charge for restructuring costs related to the acquisition of TSB in Q2 2026 and a EUR 1,895 million capital gain from the completion of the Poland disposal in Q1 2026.
As a result, profit attributable to the parent and underlying profit attributable to the parent were not the same in either period.
•Profit attributable to the parent in Q2 2026 was EUR 3,518 million, compared to EUR 5,455 million in Q1 2026, which was favoured by the aforementioned capital gain from the Poland disposal.
•Underlying profit attributable to the parent in Q2 2026 stood at EUR 3,768 million, compared to EUR 3,560 million in Q1 2026.
This represents a 6% quarter-on-quarter increase in underlying profit. In constant euros, it rose 5%, supported by a solid revenue performance and the incorporation of TSB in May 2026 (excluding TSB, underlying profit was up 4%,+3% in constant euros). In constant euros:
•Total income rose 2%, by line as follows:
•Net interest income increased by 5%, supported by Retail (+7%), with positive trends in most countries, especially in the
UK driven by TSB, as well as by CIB (increases across business lines) and a pickup in Wealth.
•Net fee income rose 3%, boosted especially by CIB (+14%), driven by strong activity in the quarter in Global Banking.
•Gains on financial transactions declined significantly, due to lower results in Global Markets in CIB, affected by lower volatility.
•Total costs increased 3% quarter-on-quarter mainly driven by the incorporation of TSB in Retail UK, partially offset by a good performance in Openbank in the US and Europe.
•Net loan-loss provisions rose 2% driven by higher provisions in Retail, especially in Spain and the UK (balance sheet optimization initiatives) and some single names in CIB.
•The other gains (losses) and provisions line item recorded a EUR 313 million loss, compared to a EUR 402 million loss in Q1 2026. This improvement reflected lower additional provisions for potential complaints related to motor finance dealer commissions in the UK (EUR 39 million in Q2 2026 compared to EUR 207 million in Q1 2026), which more than offset higher charges related to our transformation, mainly in Retail Spain.

Compared to March 2026, gross loans and advances to customers excluding reverse repos increased 5% in constant euros (+1% excluding TSB), with the following detail:
•In Retail, they increased by 7%, favoured by the incorporation of TSB, whose loan portfolio is largely concentrated in mortgages to individuals. Excluding TSB, they rose 1%, as widespread increases in mortgages more than offset lower SME loans mainly in Spain and Brazil.
•In Openbank, they were up 2%, due to higher auto balances across our main markets.
•In CIB, loans increased 2%, boosted by increases in Global Transaction Banking and Global Markets.
•In Wealth, loans rose 6%, with broad-based growth across countries, particularly in Spain.

Customer deposits amounted to EUR 1,133,762 million as at 30 June 2026, up 7% quarter-on-quarter and 12% year-on-year. Both comparisons benefitted from the incorporation of TSB from May 2026.
The Group uses customer funds (customer deposits excluding repos, plus mutual funds) for the purpose of analysing traditional retail banking funds. As at 30 June 2026, they amounted to EUR 1,297,293 million.
The comments below do not include the exchange rate impact (i.e. in constant euros), except for Argentina and any grouping which includes it. For further information, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.
Compared to March 2026, customer funds increased 6% in constant euros. Excluding TSB, they were up 2%, with the following detail:
•By product, customer deposits excluding repos increased 1%, driven by both demand and time deposits, while mutual funds continued to grow (+6%).
•By business, customer funds grew in Retail (+2%), Wealth (+5%) and Openbank (+1%), which more than offset the decrease in CIB (-2%).
Compared to June 2025, customer funds were 11% higher in constant euros. Excluding TSB, they were up 7%, with the following detail:
•By product, deposits excluding repos rose 5%, with growth mainly in time deposits and, to a lesser extent, in demand deposits. Mutual funds increased 16%, with solid performances across countries.
•By business, they rose 8% in Retail, driven by double-digit growth in time deposits and mutual funds, with growth also in demand deposits They grew 4% in Openbank, supported by higher demand deposits as part of our funding cost optimization strategy, and by mutual funds, which recorded double-digit growth. In CIB, they increased 1%, as higher time deposits more than offset declines in mutual funds and demand deposits. In Wealth, they were up 12% driven by mutual funds (+19%).
•By country, customer funds grew across our footprint.
As at 30 June 2026, customer funds maintained a diversified mix across our footprint, with presence in Europe, Latin America and the US. The weight of demand deposits as a percentage of total customer funds was 53%, while time deposits accounted for 25% of the total and mutual funds for 22%.

and volume of its market operations to the structural liquidity needs of each unit, as well as to the receptiveness of each market. The Group's issuances for H1 2026 were as follows:
•Medium- and long-term senior debt totalling EUR 14,009 million and covered bonds placed in the market for EUR 6,806 million.
•TLAC eligible instruments issued amounted to EUR 9,796 million, of which EUR 7,156 million was senior non-preferred, EUR 1,356 million was subordinated debt and EUR 1,284 million was contingently convertible AT1s (CoCos).
•Maturities of medium- and long-term debt totalled EUR 25,832 million.
The net loan-to-deposit ratio was 101% (100% in June 2025), and the ratio of deposits plus medium- and long-term funding to the Group’s loans was 124%, showing a comfortable funding structure. The Group liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was an estimated 155% in June 2026 (see the 'Risk management' chapter of this report).
The Group's access to wholesale funding markets, as well as the cost of issuances depends, in part, on the ratings granted by the rating agencies.

Long termShort termOutlook
Fitch RatingsA (Senior A+)F1 (Senior F1)Stable
Moody'sA1P-1Stable
S&P Global RatingsA+A-1Stable
DBRSA (High)R-1 (Middle)Stable
Following the upgrade of the Kingdom of Spain's rating in September 2025, Moody's raised Santander's long-term rating to A1 and maintained the short-term rating at P-1 in October 2025.
Fitch has maintained A+ rating for Santander's long-term senior rating since Q1 2025.
S&P Global Ratings maintained Santander's credit rating at A+ for long-term and A-1 for short-term debt. Since Q2 2024, S&P has maintained its BBB- (investment grade) rating for our AT1 instruments.
All four agencies view the outlook as stable, in line with their respective ratings for the sovereign.
Sometimes the methodology applied by the rating agencies limits a bank's rating to the sovereign rating of the country where it is headquartered. Banco Santander, S.A. is still rated above the sovereign debt rating of the Kingdom of Spain in long-term senior debt by Moody's and Fitch, and rated at the same level by S&P and DBRS. These ratings above the sovereign demonstrate our financial strength and the benefits derived from our diversification.

As at 30 June 2026, the total phased-in capital ratio (applying the CRR transitional arrangements) stood at 18.8% and the phased-in CET1 ratio at 14.0%.
We comfortably meet the levels required by the ECB on a consolidated basis, estimated at 14.1% for the total capital ratio and at 9.8% for the CET1 ratio. This resulted in a distance to the maximum distributable amount (MDA) of 401 bps and a CET1 management buffer of 418 bps.
In the quarter, the CET1 ratio declined 0.4 pp to 14.0%, mainly due to the acquisition of TSB in May (-55 bps). Excluding this impact, the CET1 ratio increased 0.2 pp as net organic capital generation remained solid at +27 bps in the quarter, the result of +61 bps from attributable profit, -33 bps from capital distributions1 (in line with our 50% payout target) and -1 bp from net RWA growth. Additionally, there was a +4 bp contribution in 'Regulatory & models' following model updates and -11 bps in 'Markets & others' mainly from deductions related to DTAs.
Taking into account the expected impact from the Webster acquisition (which is subject to completion)2, estimated at c.-150 bps, we remain on track to meet our aim to end the year with a CET1 ratio in the range of 12.8-13%, at the top end of our 12-13% operating range.
TNAV per share ended the quarter at EUR 6.32. Including the interim cash dividend charged against 2025 results paid in November 2025 (EUR 11.50 cents per share) and the final cash dividend charged against 2025 results paid in May 2026 (EUR 12.50 cents per share), TNAV plus cash dividend per share increased 19.3% over the last twelve months (+3.1% in the quarter).
Lastly, the leverage ratio was 4.81%.

In H1 2026, the global economy remained relatively resilient, despite an environment marked by geopolitical tensions, uncertainty surrounding trade policies and central banks' monetary policy decisions in response to inflation and economic developments. These factors resulted in pressure on energy markets and some bouts of volatility, though less pronounced in Q2 2026.
In this context, our global and diversified business model, together with our strong local presence and prudent risk management, enable us to maintain a medium-low risk profile, even in a still uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment.
In terms of credit quality:
•The NPL ratio stood at 2.93%, improving 7 bps compared to March 2026, driven by gross credit risk with customers (total risk), which grew 7% to EUR 1,281 billion, mainly driven by positive volume trends in Retail (favoured by the integration of TSB in the UK) and CIB. This improvement was partially offset by an increase in credit impaired loans, which rose 5% to EUR 37,560 million, impacted by less favourable exchange rate movements, dynamics in certain portfolios (primarily in CIB, due to some single names), and the integration of TSB in Retail.
Year-on-year, the NPL ratio remained under control (+3 bps), as some increases in credit impaired loans, partly impacted by exchange rate movements and portfolio trends in Argentina, were mostly offset by total risk growth, mainly in CIB and Retail.
•In Q2 2026, net loan-loss provisions totalled EUR 3,349 million, up 2% in constant euros compared to the previous quarter, driven by higher Retail provisions, particularly in Spain and the UK, due to balance sheet optimization initiatives, and some single names in CIB.
In H1 2026, provisions rose 7% year-on-year in constant euros, reaching EUR 6,574 million, mainly due to higher provisions in Retail in Argentina, reflecting sector-wide trends in the country, and in CIB, due to some single names in Europe and Brazil. Excluding Argentina, the Group's net loan-loss provisions were practically stable year-on-year in constant euros, with a good performance in Retail (mainly in Spain) and lower provisions in the Corporate Centre, following provisions recorded in H1 2025 related to our plan to accelerate NPL ratio reductions, which improved the Group's credit quality.

Our Retail, Openbank and CIB businesses account for around 97% of the Group's total credit portfolio as of 30 June 2026, while Payment Solutions and Wealth have limited balance sheet exposure. Therefore, the following explanations are focused on the most relevant businesses from a credit risk management point of view:
fa_sanxverticalxgroupxfonda.jpg
Retail & Commercial Banking
Credit risk exposure
55% of total Group
Retail's portfolio mainly comprises high quality mortgage loans, where around 90% of loans have a loan to value below 80%, and a corporate portfolio in which more than 50% has property collateral or other collateral.
The NPL ratio improved 13 bps in Q2 2026 to 3.05%, driven by an increase in total risk (+8%), underpinned by widespread growth and the integration of TSB. Credit impaired loans were up 3%, mainly due to the aforementioned integration and some single names in the corporate portfolio in Brazil.
The cost of risk rose 6 bps compared to June 2025, reaching 1.19%, with higher provisions, mainly in Argentina (reflecting sector-wide trends in the country), Mexico (partially due to higher lending activity and model updates) and the UK (partly due to portfolio normalization). This was partially offset by solid trends in Spain (driven by a good portfolio performance and our balance sheet optimization strategy) and Brazil (underpinned by prudent risk management and a shift in the portfolio mix). Compared to Q1 2026, cost of risk increased 2 bps, with higher provisions, mainly in Argentina, Mexico and the UK, partially offset by a good performance in Spain.
The NPL coverage ratio decreased 1 pp in Q2 2026, reaching 66%, a level we consider appropriate given the Retail portfolio includes the mortgage portfolios in Spain and the UK, which have high-quality collateral.
fa_sanxverticalxgroupxfonda.jpg
Openbank
Credit risk exposure
17% of total Group
Openbank comprises business originated by consumer finance companies, including our digital bank (formerly called Openbank), Open Digital Services (ODS) and our retail business in the US.
The NPL ratio stood at 5.61%, 9 bps above that of March 2026, as a 4% increase in credit impaired loans, primarily in the US and Brazil, was partially offset by total risk growth (+2%), supported by solid trends across most of our markets, particularly in Openbank Europe, the US and Brazil.
The cost of risk was stable compared to June 2025, standing at 2.09%, the result of a good performance in provisions in the US, driven by the implementation of capital optimization measures and resilient consumer behaviour, backed by persistently high used car prices. This positive dynamic was partly offset by increases in other units, mainly in Openbank Europe, which was impacted in part by the macro environment and a credit quality deterioration in corporates. Compared to Q1 2026, cost of risk was up 2 bps, due to higher provisions, especially in Brazil and Openbank Europe, partially offset by a good performance in the US.
The NPL coverage ratio decreased 1 pp in Q2 2026, standing at 70%, a level we are comfortable with considering more than 80% of the portfolio consists of auto loans.

25% of total Group
CIB comprises Global Transaction Banking, Global Banking (Global Debt Financing and Corporate Finance) and Global Markets business lines and offers products and services on a global scale to corporate and institutional clients, and collaborates with other global businesses to better serve our broad customer base.
The NPL ratio rose 17 bps in Q2 2026 to 1.02%, due to higher credit impaired loans, primarily driven by some single names, which were partially offset by total risk growth (+10%).
The cost of risk was up 22 bps compared to June 2025 to 0.29%, with higher provisions due to some single names and growing from a low base, as virtually no provisions were recorded in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. Compared to March 2026, the ratio rose 6 bps, driven by higher provisions as a result of portfolio growth and some single names, particularly in Europe, the US and Brazil.
The NPL coverage ratio stood at 37%, with no material changes compared to March 2026.
Market risk
In Q2 2026, market risk was mainly shaped by market volatility stemming from the conflict in the Middle East. Volatility moderated as peace talks between the US and Iran began, though uncertainty remained regarding the possibility of inflation remaining persistently high.
Trading activity in CIB is focused on meeting our clients' needs. Its risk is measured in terms of daily VaR at 99% and originates mainly from possible movements in interest rates.
In Q2 2026, average VaR was EUR 18 million, slightly lower than in Q1 2026, amid somewhat lower market volatility, despite the persistence of some geopolitical uncertainty.
VaR figures remained low compared to the size of the balance sheet and the Group's activity, and continued to be primarily driven by interest rate risk.

•Risk management
Structural and liquidity risk
Structural exchange rate risk
Grupo Santander's structural exchange rate risk mainly arises from foreign currency transactions related to permanent financial investments, their results and associated hedges.
During Q2 2026, the performance of the main currencies in which the Group operates generally appreciated against the euro, notably the Mexican peso, amid expectations that the central bank may have reached the end of its easing cycle with the 25 basis point cut in May to 6.50%.
Our dynamic management of this risk aims to limit the impact on the CET1 capital ratio from exchange rate movements. In Q2 2026, the coverage of the main currencies impacting this ratio remained close to 100%.
Regarding financial results, the exchange rate hedging strategy is tactical and dynamic, depending on our expectations of the evolution of the different currencies in the various countries where the Group operates.
Structural interest rate risk
Interest rate risk management aims to mitigate potential negative impacts on Santander, both in terms of net interest income and economic value of its equity, due to adverse fluctuations in interest rate curves in the various currencies in which the Group operates.
The Group measures interest rate risk through statistical models based on structural risk mitigation strategies using interest rate instruments, such as fixed-income bond portfolios and derivative instruments, to keep the risk profile within the risk appetite.
Our structural interest rate risk remained at comfortable levels during the period. Our structural debt portfolios performed well, in a context in which, although uncertainty around the evolution of the conflict in the Middle East persisted, pressure on interest rates was lower amid expectations of a resolution to the conflict between the US and Iran.
At an aggregate level, Santander maintains positive net interest income sensitivity to interest rate hikes and negative sensitivity in the same scenario for the economic value of its equity.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of not having the necessary liquid financial resources available to meet our obligations as they come due. Losses can be caused by forced asset sales or margin impacts due to the mismatch between expected cash inflows and outflows.
Our strong liquidity position is based on a decentralized model, where each subsidiary is managed autonomously.
In Q2 2026, the Group maintained a comfortable position, with ratios well above regulatory limits, supported by a robust and diversified liquidity buffer.
The Group liquidity coverage ratio (Group LCR1) ended June 2026 at 155%, +4 pp compared to March 2026.
Operational risk
The operational risk profile remained stable in Q2 2026. However, the Group closely monitors the evolution of operational risks, focusing on operational resilience (technology, cyberrisk, suppliers and business continuity) and risks linked to transformation plans (including the use of new technologies), external fraud, the most significant legal processes and the impact of geopolitical risks on the current environment.
In Q2 2026, operational risk losses2 decreased double digits quarter-on-quarter, reflecting the impact of the provision for potential complaints related to motor finance dealer commissions in the UK recorded in Q1 2026. Legal proceedings continued to be the main driver of these losses, which were concentrated in the Retail business.



1.The Consolidated LCR ratio as at end June 2026 was 146%, comfortably exceeding internal and regulatory requirements. All LCR figures are provisional. For more information on the calculation of both the Group LCR and the Consolidated LCR, see the 'Liquidity and funding management' section of the 'Economic and financial review' chapter in the Annual report 2025 published on 24 February 2026.

•Santander share
The Santander share
Dividends and shareholder remuneration
In accordance with the 2025 shareholder remuneration policy, the bank paid a final cash dividend charged against 2025 results of EUR 12.50 cents per share in May 2026.
Additionally, the bank announced a second share buyback programme worth up to a maximum of EUR 5,030 million, started on 4 February 2026 and is currently underway. Of which:
•EUR 1,830 million corresponds to approximately 25% of the Group’s net reported profit in H2 2025, in line with the ordinary shareholder remuneration policy charged against 2025 results.
•The remaining EUR 3,200 million corresponds to an extraordinary buyback, equivalent to approximately 50% of the CET1 capital generated following completion of the sale of 49% of Santander Bank Polska to Erste Group in January 2026.
As at the date of publication of this report, approximately 80% of the aforementioned buyback programme had been executed.
As a result, total shareholder remuneration charged against 2025 results amounts to approximately EUR 7,030 million, comprising the interim dividend of EUR 11.50 cents per share paid in November 2025, the final cash dividend of EUR 12.50 cents per share paid in May 2026, the first share buyback programme of EUR 1,700 million (completed in December 2025) and EUR 1,830 million under the second share buyback programme (underway) corresponding to ordinary remuneration from 2025 results.
This is equivalent to approximately 50% of the Group's 2025 net reported profit, excluding non-cash, non-capital ratios impact items), split approximately 50% in cash dividends and 50% in share buybacks.
As announced on 25 February 2026, the board of directors intends to: i) apply an ordinary shareholder remuneration policy for 2026 to 2028 results that entails distributing approximately 50% of the Group’s underlying profit (excluding non-cash, non-capital ratios impact items), split approximately evenly between cash dividends and share buybacks for 2026 results; and ii) distribute any excess capital to shareholders at the end of the 2026-2028 period. From 2027 results, the ordinary shareholder remuneration policy is expected to comprise around 35% of the Group's underlying profit (on the same basis) in cash dividends and around 15% in share buybacks.
The execution of the ordinary shareholder remuneration policy and the distribution of any excess capital to shareholders at the end of the 2026-2028 period is subject to corporate and regulatory decisions and approvals.
Share price performance
Santander's shares are listed on five markets: on four exchanges in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia), in the US (as ADRs), in the UK (as a CDI), in Mexico (Sistema Internacional de Cotizaciones) and in Poland.
In Q2 2026, we operated in an environment characterized by some volatility, driven by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. However, at the end of the quarter, economic growth indicators were solid across our footprint and unemployment rates remained relatively low in general.
Despite this environment, equities performed well, with widespread increases. As of 30 June 2026, Santander’s share price had increased 20.0% in the year to date, outperforming both the sector as a whole and the broader European market.
In the banking sector, the Euro Stoxx Banks, the eurozone's main index, rose 11.6% year to date, while the DJ Stoxx Banks was up 12.5% and the MSCI World Banks +10.4%. The other main indices also closed higher (Ibex 35 +12.5% and DJ Stoxx 50 +10.1%).

Financial information by segment
Description of segments
We base segment reporting on financial information presented to the chief operating decision maker, which excludes certain statutory results items that distort year-on-year comparisons and are not considered for management reporting. This financial information (underlying basis) is computed by adjusting reported results for the effects of certain gains and losses (e.g. capital gains, write-downs, impairment of goodwill, etc.). These gains and losses are items that management and investors ordinarily identify and consider separately to better understand the underlying trends in the business.
The Group has aligned the information in this chapter with the underlying information used internally for management reporting and with that presented in the Group's other public documents.
Santander's executive committee has been selected to be its chief operating decision maker. The Group's operating segments reflect its organizational and managerial structures. The Group's executive committee reviews internal reporting based on these segments to assess performance and allocate resources.
The segments are split by global business and by country in which profits are earned. We prepare the financial information by aggregating the figures for Santander’s global businesses and countries, relating it to both the accounting data of the business units integrated in each segment and that provided by management information systems. The same general principles as those used in the Group are applied.
Main changes to the composition of Santander's segments in 2026
On 10 February 2026, the Group announced a series of changes to its reporting structure, effective from Q1 2026. These changes did not affect the Group’s reported profit attributable to the parent, nor the targets we communicated to the market during the Q4 2025 results presentation. For further information about these changes, see ‘Significant events in the period’ section of the Q1 2026 Financial report.
In addition to these changes, a number of modifications to the reporting structure were also communicated that only affect the Group’s primary and secondary segments, as follows:
Reporting of the Cards business within Retail & Commercial Banking (Retail)
Given that our payments platform strategy is now largely established, we are positioning Payments, renamed Payment Solutions, as the Group’s payments platform business.
In this context, from 1 January 2026, the income statement and balance sheet items relating to the Cards business have been reclassified to Retail (previously recorded in Payments), to better align reporting with the management structure in these businesses in 2026.
The Group’s card processing platform remains in Payment Solutions and charges market-based fees to the global businesses for card processing, valued at market prices.
RoTE Spain
The Santander Spain secondary segment does not have its own accounting tangible equity since it is booked under Banco Santander,
S.A. with other units such as the Corporate Centre. For this reason, a theoretical tangible equity is allocated to the segment.
In this context, the methodology for allocating such tangible equity to Spain has been updated to increase accuracy, taking into account: i) the amount required to reach a 13% CET1 ratio; and ii) the allocation of deductions and other capital adjustments (add-ons).
Other changes within the primary segments
In addition to the change in the Payments business previously described, two minor adjustments have been introduced to the primary segments: i) the Digital Consumer Bank (Consumer) business has been renamed Openbank; and ii) Wealth Management & Insurance has been reorganized into two business lines: Private Banking, which comprises the corporate private banking unit and International Private Banking in the US, Switzerland and the UAE; and Insurance & Asset Management Solutions, which brings together the insurance business and liquid and illiquid asset management activities, and includes the investment platforms and holdings that complement the traditional Wealth business. These changes do not have any impact on the reported figures at the Group or primary segment levels.
Composition of Santander's segments
Taking into account all of the changes detailed above, from 2026 the primary and secondary segments are structured as follows:
Primary segments
This primary level of segmentation, comprises six reportable segments: five global businesses plus the Corporate Centre.
Retail & Commercial Banking (Retail): area that integrates the retail banking and commercial banking businesses (individuals, SMEs and corporates), except private banking clients and business originated in the consumer finance businesses. Detailed financial information is provided on Spain (Retail Spain), the UK (Retail UK), Mexico (Retail Mexico) and Brazil (Retail Brazil), which represent most of the total Retail business.
Openbank, previously known as Digital Consumer Bank (Consumer): comprises business originated by consumer finance companies, including our digital bank (formerly Openbank), Open Digital Services (ODS) and our retail business in the US. Detailed financial information is provided on Europe (Openbank Europe) and the US (Openbank US).
Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB): business which includes the Global Transaction Banking, Global Banking (Global Debt Financing and Corporate Finance) and Global Markets business lines. It offers products and services on a global scale to corporate and institutional clients and collaborates with other global businesses to better serve our broad customer base.
Wealth Management & Insurance (Wealth): comprises two business lines: i) Private Banking, which includes the corporate private banking unit and international private banking in the US, Switzerland and the UAE; and ii) Insurance & Asset Management Solutions, which brings together the insurance business and liquid and illiquid asset management activities and includes the investment platforms and holdings that complement the traditional Wealth business.

Payment Solutions (Payments): brings together the Group’s digital payment solutions and provides global technological solutions to Group entities and new customers in the open market. It comprises Getnet, Getnet Platforms and Ebury.
Corporate Centre: includes the centralized activities relating to equity stakes in financial companies, financial management of the structural exchange rate position, assumed within the sphere of the Group’s asset and liability committee, as well as management of liquidity and of shareholders’ equity via issuances.
As the Group’s holding entity, this area manages all capital and reserves and allocation of capital and liquidity to the other businesses. It also incorporates goodwill impairments but not the costs related to the Group’s central services (charged to the areas), except for corporate and institutional expenses related to the Group’s functioning.
Secondary segments
This secondary level includes our main geographical units and the Corporate Centre, as described in the primary segments.
Detailed financial information is provided on Spain, the UK, Portugal, Openbank Europe (previously referred to as DCB Europe, which includes all consumer business, our digital bank in Europe and ODS), the US, Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
Information is also provided for the 'Rest of the Group', the grouping which brings together everything that is not included in the aforementioned geographical units or the Corporate Centre.






The businesses included in each of the segments in this report and the accounting principles under which their results are presented here may differ from the businesses included and accounting principles applied in the financial information separately prepared and disclosed by our subsidiaries (some of which are publicly listed) which in name or geographical description may seem to correspond to the business areas covered in this report. Accordingly, the results and trends shown for our business areas in this document may differ materially from those of such subsidiaries.
The Group's underlying income statement records the results related to the business subject to the Poland disposal for all periods in 2025, the capital gain from the completion of the Poland disposal in Q1 2026 and M&A-related restructuring costs in Q2 2026 associated with the integration of TSB under a single line item, 'non-recurring items'. The impacts recorded in this line are therefore excluded from the Group's underlying profit. Consequently, the global businesses, which are reported only on an underlying basis in accordance with IFRS 8, also exclude these non-recurring items. The underlying ratios, management metrics and business volumes do not include the activity affected by the Poland disposal.
Additionally, both the balance sheets and income statements of the Retail global business, Retail UK and the UK secondary segment include TSB from May 2026.
On the other hand, the results of our segments presented below include the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. However, for a better understanding of the changes in the performance of our primary and secondary segments, we also provide and discuss the year-on-year changes to our results excluding such exchange rate impacts (i.e. in constant euros), except for Argentina, and any grouping which includes it, where the variations in constant euros have been calculated considering the Argentine peso exchange rate on the last working day for each of the periods presented. For further information, see methodology in the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.
Lastly, certain figures contained in this report, have been subject to rounding to enhance their presentation. Accordingly, in certain instances, the sum of the numbers in a column or a row in tables contained in this report may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column or row.

→ We continued to drive our ONE Transformation programme to support our vision of becoming a digital bank with branches, through the implementation of a common operating model and the rollout of our global technology platform.
→ Loans increased 9% in constant euros year-on-year (+2% ex. TSB), mainly driven by mortgages. In constant euros, deposits rose 13% (+6% ex. TSB), with positive dynamics in most countries, and mutual funds grew 18%.
→ Underlying attributable profit reached EUR 4,124 million, up 13% year-on-year in euros and +12% in constant euros (+10% ex. TSB), driven by total income (both in net interest income as well as net fee income) and a strong cost reduction, resulting from the implementation of our common operating model.

Strategy
In Q2 2026, we continued our business transformation, in line with our vision of being a digital bank with branches, which combine leading technology with close, expert advice for our customers. To achieve this, we continue to successfully execute on our strategic priorities:
•Transformation of our operating model based on three pillars:
•End-to-end digitalization. We continued to drive product digitalization and optimize customer journeys, improving the share of products and services that are available digitally by 7 pp year-on-year to 73%, resulting in a 21% increase year-on-year in digital sales. The launch of the global app has enabled us to deliver a more consistent and higher-quality experience across digital channels. In addition, we continued to roll out our new branch model and Work Cafés, with new openings in Brazil, the UK and Portugal in the quarter.
•Automation and simplification. We continued to simplify and automate processes at scale while promoting leaner and more agile structures. This enabled us to reduce the number of non-commercial FTEs per million customers by 19% year-on-year, freeing up capacity for commercial activities and higher value-added customer service, thereby improving customer experience and lowering the cost per active customer 6% year-on-year.
•Global Technology Platform. We remain focused on the rollout of common technology platforms. Gravity, our back-end technology, has been fully implemented in Spain, Mexico and Chile, enabling us to reduce transaction costs and improve response times, and is also technically ready for deployment in Brazil in 2026. The new global app is now available in Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Chile, and our assisted channel solution is operational in more than half of the Group's branches and across contact centres in Mexico, enhancing productivity and sales. Our new customer interaction platform, which was already available in Brazil, the UK, Argentina, Chile and Mexico, is now technically
ready for rollout in Spain. This platform enables effective hyper-personalization across all channels and segments, increasing the sales conversion ratio.
•Transformation of the business model by remaining focused on value creation and positioning the customer at the centre of our management through:
•Customer relationships. We are providing a simpler value proposition tailored to our key customer segments. In Spain, for example, we are significantly enhancing SME profitability through improvements to Santander Growth, which leverages advanced analytics to identify high-growth companies and provide them with tailored solutions supported by specialized teams. We are rolling out the model across Brazil, Mexico, the UK, Chile and Portugal. In Spain, we also launched a new Teens App, designed for teenagers taking their first financial steps, with access to exclusive offers. In Mexico, we strengthened our commercial offering for individuals, entrepreneurs and SMEs with a comprehensive package that combines lending, digital banking and international transfers with better conditions.
•Customer experience. We continue to integrate the best digital products with a new branch model redefined as community hubs, and we are using advanced hyper-personalization tools enabling us to improve our customer experience.
•Structural efficiency and profitability improvement. The transformation of our operating and business model continues to drive structural efficiency improvements and commercial capacity, which, together with prudent risk management and strict capital allocation, supports our profitable growth. We completed the acquisition of TSB in the UK in Q2 2026 and we expect to complete the Webster acquisition in the US this year. In the coming months, we will continue to work to ensure the successful integration of both entities into the Group.

Business performance
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos, increased 11% year-on-year. In constant euros, they grew 9%. This comparison was favoured by the TSB acquisition, whose loan book mostly comprises mortgages. Excluding TSB, loans increased 2% in constant euros, mainly driven by growth in mortgages to individuals, with the following breakdown by segment:
•In individuals, the mortgage portfolio grew in all countries, but particularly in the UK, Portugal, Brazil and Spain. Personal loans also increased across our footprint, except in Brazil, which reflects our capital optimization strategy and macro environment in the country. Card volumes increased in general, especially in Select customers in Brazil.
•SME loans were affected by lower volumes in Spain and the UK, with positive dynamics across the rest of our footprint. Commercial loans increased mainly driven by Brazil and the UK, which more than offset decreases in the US and Mexico.
The year-on-year performance of customer funds also was favoured by the incorporation of TSB's deposits (TSB does not have mutual funds), with 15% year-on-year growth in customer deposits, excluding repos and +13% in constant euros. Excluding TSB and in constant euros:
•Customer deposits, excluding repos grew 6%, largely due to a good performance in Spain and the UK. There was a 12% increase in time deposits with positive performances across the board except in the US and Argentina, while demand deposits rose 4%, increasing in most countries.
•Mutual funds grew 18% year-on-year, rising across most of our footprint. Overall, customer funds grew 8%.

Results
Underlying attributable profit in H1 2026 was EUR 4,124 million, 13% higher year-on-year. This comparison was slightly favoured by the TSB acquisition, with around 1-2 pp contributions across P&L lines. In constant euros profit increased 12%, as follows:
•Total income increased 4% driven mainly by positive performances in net interest income and net fee income.
Net interest income increased 4% year-on-year, with positive performances in most countries, driven by higher volumes and our active balance sheet management, and slightly favoured by the TSB acquisition.
Our more targeted products and high value-added services offering, especially to Select segments, contributed to 6% net fee income growth year-on-year, particularly in transactional, FX, insurance and mutual fund fees. By country, there were notable increases in Mexico, Argentina, the UK and Spain.

•Total costs decreased 3% year-on-year, -8% in real terms, reflecting our transformation efforts through organizational simplification, process automation and the rollout of our global platform and a lower impact from asset impairment and operational risk charges. The efficiency ratio improved to 40.5%.
•Net loan-loss provisions grew 6% year-on-year, mainly in Argentina, reflecting sector-wide trends in the country. Excluding Argentina, provisions declined 4%, with positive performances in Spain and Brazil. Cost of risk was 1.19% (+6 bps year-on-year) and the NPL ratio improved to 3.05%, the latter favoured by the TSB acquisition.
Overall, RoTE in H1 2026 was 17.1%.
Compared to Q1 2026, the P&L was favoured by TSB. Excluding it, profit increased 2% in constant euros, driven by net interest income and net fee income, which more than offset greater provisions related to balance sheet optimization initiatives in Spain and the UK, and higher restructuring charges related to transformation.

Commercial activity and business performance
Commercial activity remained strong in the quarter as we continued to gain market share in payrolls, pensions, cards and active Bizum users.
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos, increased 1% year-on-year as the higher mortgages and personal loans in Select, more than offset a decrease in SMEs as a result of our active risk management, balance sheet optimization initiatives and ICO loan maturities.
Customer deposits, excluding repos, grew 6% year-on-year, mainly due to demand deposits driven by our value proposition for Select customers which supports deposit growth and improves our funding mix. Mutual funds improved 17%. As a result, customer funds rose 8%.
Results
Profit before tax in H1 2026 reached EUR 2,229 million, 33% higher than in H1 2025. By line:
•Total income was 6% higher, with increases in net interest income, driven by balance sheet management and lower cost of deposits, net fee income, driven by strong momentum in FX and insurance fees, and gains on financial transactions (valuation of stakes).
•Total costs decreased 8%, benefitting from transformation initiatives and a lower impact from operational risk and asset impairment charges. The efficiency ratio improved 4.9 pp to 31.3%.
•Net loan-loss provisions declined 45%, driven by balance sheet optimization initiatives and credit quality improvement.
In the quarter, net operating income increased 4% driven by strong revenue, with a positive net interest income performance (active balance sheet management and volumes growth), and better costs. However, the good net operating income performance was not reflected in profit before tax due to higher provisions, after balance sheet optimization initiatives in Q1, and higher transformation-related charges.

Commercial activity and business performance
In Q2 2026, we completed the TSB acquisition, becoming the third largest bank in the country in terms of individual current account volumes and the fourth largest by mortgage volumes.
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos, increased 22% year-on-year. In constant euros, they also increased 22%. This comparison was favoured by the incorporation of TSB in May 2026. Excluding TSB, loans increased 4% in constant euros driven by positive trends in mortgage originations since H2 2025, as well as a pickup in new business volumes in corporates.
Customer deposits, excluding repos, increased 26% year-on-year. In constant euros, they also grew 26%, similarly favoured by the incorporation of TSB's deposits. Excluding TSB, deposits increased 6% in constant euros, driven by growth in time deposits from individuals and demand deposits from corporates. Mutual funds rose 31% in constant euros. As a result, customer funds excluding TSB improved 7% in constant euros.
Results
Profit before tax in H1 2026 reached EUR 938 million, 36% higher than in H1 2025. In constant euros, it increased 40%. Excluding TSB, profit before tax was 28% higher in constant euros, by line:
•Total income rose 4%, driven by higher transactional fees, net interest income, supported by volumes growth, and gains on financial transactions, following weaker hedging results in H1 2025.
•Total costs fell 10%, boosted by process automation, our simplification efforts and lower asset impairment charges. As a result, net operating income grew 28%, with a significant improvement in the efficiency ratio.
•Net loan-loss provisions increased as a result of model updates and balance sheet optimization initiatives, but remained at very low levels.
Compared to Q1 2026, excluding TSB, profit before tax increased 6% in constant euros, driven by higher net fee income, gains on financial transactions and lower costs from transformation savings, which amply offset an increase in provisions as a result of balance sheet optimization initiatives.

In the quarter, we continued to make great strides in the transformation of our operating model, driving digital adoption (76% of our active customers now use digital channels) and strengthening our commercial offering for individuals, entrepreneurs and SMEs.
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos, increased 13% year-on-year. In constant euros, they grew 1% driven by higher mortgages and personal loans which more than offset a decline in the corporate portfolio in line with our strategy.
Customer deposits, excluding repos, rose 17% year-on-year. In constant euros, they grew 5% driven by both demand and time deposits. We are targeting mutual fund growth, resulting in an 11% increase in constant euros. As a result, customer funds rose 7% in constant euros.
Results
Profit before tax in H1 2026 reached EUR 832 million, 11% higher than in H1 2025. In constant euros, it increased 4%, as follows:
•Total income rose 4%, driven mainly by net fee income, particularly in transactional and insurance fees, reflecting the improvement in our value proposition and greater customer transactionality, and higher gains on financial transactions from FX. Net interest income increased slightly, supported by a lower cost of deposits in a lower interest rate environment.
•Total costs decreased 3%, driven by savings from our simplification and automation initiatives, helping to sustain the business’s recurring profitability. As a result, net operating income grew 9% and the efficiency ratio improved 2.8 pp to 40.1%.
•Net loan-loss provisions increased 14%, in part due to higher lending activity and model updates.
Compared to Q1 2026, profit before tax grew 3% in constant euros, driven by positive performances in net interest income, due to our active balance sheet management, and net fee income (insurance and transactional fees), with slightly lower provisions following model updates in Q1.

In Q2 2026, our business strategy remained focused on expanding the affluent and corporate segments by offering a personalized and global experience and providing an integrated multi-channel experience and a simplified product offering to the mass market to reinforce engagement and customer satisfaction.
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos, increased 12% year-on-year. In constant euros, they rose 3%, driven by strong momentum in all products except personal loans in the mass segment, in line with our strategy focused on profitable growth and prudent risk management.
Customer deposits, excluding repos, increased 21% year-on-year. In constant euros, they grew 12%, mainly on the back of growth in time deposits in Select, reflecting the increased engagement and primacy achieved in the affluent segments. Mutual funds grew 25% year-on-year in constant euros. As a result, customer funds rose 15% in constant euros.
Results
Profit before tax in H1 2026 was EUR 634 million, 6% lower than in H1 2025. In constant euros, it decreased 10%, by line:
•Total income declined 2%, impacted by lower net fee income, especially in insurance from high levels in H1 2025, and a decline in gains on financial transactions due to lower capital market-related activity in corporates. Net interest income was flat, as higher volumes in the affluent segment offset a lower result in mass market segment, in line with our strategy.
•Total costs increased 1%, but were down 3% in real terms, reflecting our efforts in simplification, automation and digitalization.
•Net loan-loss provisions decreased 4%, reflecting our prudent risk management and the shift in the portfolio mix.
Compared to Q1 2026, profit before tax decreased in constant euros, as growth in net interest income, driven by our active balance sheet management, and insurance fees did not offset lower gains on financial transactions, higher costs and an increase in provisions impacted by the macro environment and single names in corporates.

→ Loans rose 3% year-on-year in constant euros, +6% in auto, with solid trends across our footprint. Deposits increased 3% in constant euros, driven by strong growth in the Americas, supported by our digital bank, in line with our strategy to optimize funding costs and reduce net interest income volatility across the cycle.

Excluding it, profit before tax rose 15% year-on-year in constant euros, reaching EUR 1,651 million, underpinned by improvements in net interest income, net fee income and total costs.

Strategy
Openbank brings together Santander's mobility finance and consumer banking operations under a single global business, supported by our global digital banking platform, which is live in the US, Spain, Mexico and Germany. The business has a strong foundation for growth, operating in 26 countries in Europe and the Americas and serving 28 million customers.

Our vision is to evolve our business from a primarily monoline lending model to a leading, digital banking model that combines advanced technology with a personal, human touch, placing customers at the heart of our management.

To navigate an increasingly competitive environment and meet evolving customer needs while delivering on our vision, we are transforming Openbank into a more global, integrated, scalable and efficient business, focusing on advancing our strategic priorities:

•Consolidate our leadership in mobility finance. We are optimizing the business to maximize profitability and capital efficiency, while continuing to deepen and expand strategic relationships with global OEMs and key industry players. At the same time, we are expanding beyond traditional auto lending into segments such as operational leasing to better serve our customers and partners while supporting growth.
In Europe, we continued to develop our leasing platform this quarter, with new features to enhance customer experience and drive efficiency, including a vehicle replacement service, greater SME digital functionalities and the expansion of our cross-border vehicle remarketing capabilities into the Netherlands and Belgium.
In the US, we further strengthened our capabilities across the full credit spectrum, while maintaining a disciplined approach to portfolio management. In the quarter, we implemented a new pricing model and adjusted our longer-term financing offering in line with broader market practices. In Latin America, we maintained our leadership in new and used vehicle financing across our footprint, backed by strong commercial momentum.
•Grow our digital banking business. We are building scale in our core markets, strengthening our value proposition to become our customers’ primary bank, driving engagement and loyalty while laying the foundations to expand into new markets.
In the US, our digital bank maintained its solid performance in new customers and deposits captured, supported by our partnership with Verizon. We also refined the customer experience through improvements in usability, transparency, speed and reliability.
In Mexico, we delivered a strong performance, surpassing 1.2 million customers, while further reinforcing our offering through initiatives such as Plan Personal de Pagos, which enables customers
to split purchases into instalments. We also launched a new pricing functionality for credit cards, which enables us to tailor our offering to customers' profiles.
In Europe, we maintained strong customer growth across our markets, while broadening our proposition through several initiatives. In Spain, we launched a new onboarding experience and in Germany, launched an improved 'Best Giro' current account with new features and a new 'Best Card' which strengthens our payments and travel offering.
In parallel, we continue to develop Openbank Pay, our checkout lending and embedded finance engine, incorporating new partners and countries to drive customer growth with low acquisition costs. In the quarter, we upgraded customer journeys on Amazon Spain, driving higher conversion rates and helping us reach more than 2.6 million customers.
•Leverage AI and automation capabilities to accelerate our transformation and growth. In the quarter, we further embedded new technologies across our processes to improve productivity and personalization and reduce cost to serve across our footprint. For instance, in the US, we leveraged increased automation to enhance the decision-making process across our dealer network.
•As part of our focus on profitable growth, we continued to optimize deposit gathering and manage interest rate sensitivity through hedging and repricing actions. We maintained a disciplined approach to balance sheet management, focusing on risk and capital while supporting sustainable growth.
Finally, we completed the merger of Santander Consumer Finance, S.A. and Open Bank, S.A. in Europe, creating a single legal entity under the Openbank brand and supporting the transformation and simplification of our business.

Business performance
New lending was 8% higher year-on-year in constant euros, on the back of good performances in Europe, the US and Brazil. We continued to focus on balancing profitability and prudent risk management in an environment marked by some volatility and geopolitical uncertainty.
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos, grew 4% year-on-year. In constant euros, they rose 3%, supported by auto (+6%), with a good performance particularly in Europe, despite a weak start to the year for the market. There were double-digit increases across most of our countries in Latin America.
Our EUR 12.3 billion leasing portfolio contracted 18% year-on-year in constant euros, as solid growth in Europe was more than offset by a weaker performance in the US, following the discontinuation of our partnership with Stellantis and lower demand for electric vehicles following the end of fiscal incentives.
Our access to wholesale funding markets remained strong and diversified. Customer deposits, excluding repos, increased 4% year-on-year. In constant euros, they rose 3%, reflecting our focus on deposit gathering, supported by our digital bank. Including mutual funds, customer funds were up 4% in constant euros.

Results
In H1 2026, underlying attributable profit stood at EUR 827 million, 21% lower year-on-year, due to the aforementioned additional provisions in the UK and a normalized tax rate. In constant euros, profit decreased 19%, as follows:
•Total income grew 4%, supported by solid net interest income and net fee income trends, which more than offset softer dynamics in other income.
Net interest income increased 4%, mainly driven by disciplined margin management and higher volumes. Good performance across most of our footprint, with notable contributions from Europe and South America.
Net fee income rose 6%, underpinned by broad-based growth, but particularly in Brazil, benefitting from portfolio expansion and higher insurance activity, and in Europe, driven by a pickup in new business trends.
Other income decreased, mainly due to leasing, as growth in Europe, supported by improvements in the portfolio mix and new business trends, did not fully offset a weaker performance in the US, impacted by lower residual values and volumes.

•Total costs fell 3%, backed by our efficiency and transformation efforts, primarily in Europe and the US, as well as lower operational risk (including those linked to the CHF portfolio) and asset impairment charges. As a result, net operating income grew 9% and efficiency improved 2.9 pp to 41.6%.
•Net loan-loss provisions rose 3%, in line with credit growth, with a good performance in the US that partially offset increases in Europe, Brazil and Argentina. Credit quality remained under control, with the NPL ratio at 5.61% and cost of risk stable at 2.09%.
•Other gains (losses) and provisions posted a higher loss, due to additional provisions for potential complaints related to motor finance dealer commissions in the UK recorded this year and higher charges related to our transformation in Europe.
•Excluding said charges in the UK, profit before tax increased 15% year-on-year.
•The effective tax rate normalized following the end of fiscal benefits for electric vehicles in the US in 2025.
RoTE stood at 7.7% in H1 2026, 9.7% excluding the additional provisions in the UK.
Compared to Q1 2026, underlying attributable profit was favoured by lower provisions in the UK. Excluding these charges, profit was up 28% in constant euros, supported by an improvement in leasing in the US and Europe, broad-based cost savings, lower LLPs in the US and a decline in transformation charges.

•Total income increased 6%, with strong net interest income (+6%), underpinned by good margin management and higher volumes. Net fee income (+4%) and leasing income also supported growth, benefitting from a pickup in new business.
•Total costs decreased 7%, mainly backed by savings from our efficiency and transformation efforts, as well as lower operational risk charges, including those linked to the CHF portfolio.
•Net loan-loss provisions rose 11%, partly reflecting a model update, higher volumes in Openbank Pay and a lower contribution from portfolio sales. Cost of risk remained around 1%.

•Excluding the additional provisions in the UK, profit before tax grew 18% year-on-year.
Compared to Q1 2026, profit before tax saw a sharp increase in constant euros, partially favoured by lower provisions in the UK.

Commercial activity and business performance
Our digital bank has delivered a solid performance since its launch, now serving around 235,000 customers, with USD 11.4 billion in deposits gathered (+123% year-on-year). Our partnership with Verizon remained a key contributor, generating more than USD 1.3 billion in deposits since its launch in April 2025.
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos, were up 3% year-on-year. In constant euros, they were flat, as an increase in auto offset the impact of our asset rotation initiatives. The leasing portfolio fell 36% in constant euros, following the discontinuation of our partnership with Stellantis and weaker demand for electric vehicles.
Customer deposits, excluding repos, rose 12% year-on-year. In constant euros, they were up 9%, driven by demand deposits, supported by momentum from our digital bank, which saw strong deposit gathering early in the year, in line with our strategy to optimize funding costs. Mutual funds saw double-digit growth, contributing to a 9% increase in customer funds in constant euros.
Results
In H1 2026, profit before tax rose 13% year-on-year to EUR 568 million. In constant euros, it grew 21%, as follows:
•Total income was down 2%, mainly due to the impact of lower residual values and reduced volumes on leasing income. Net interest income remained resilient, backed by funding optimization, while net fee income fell 9%, primarily due to lower servicing fees.
•Total costs decreased 4%, supported by the benefits from productivity initiatives and continued cost discipline, as well as lower charges related to asset impairments.
•Net loan-loss provisions improved 11%, reflecting capital relief measures and resilient repayment behaviour, in part supported by persistently high used car prices. Cost of risk fell year-on-year to 4.03%.
Compared to Q1 2026, profit before tax rose 46% in constant euros, driven by a strong leasing performance, a sharp decrease in total costs (partly due to lower marketing-related expenses), lower transformation charges and favourable seasonal trends in net loan-loss provisions.

→ Our diversification across business lines, client types and global footprint, enhanced by the investments made in recent years, makes us more resilient in challenging environments and reinforces our long-term strategy focused on sustainable growth.
→ Good activity levels year-on-year across all business lines, especially Global Banking (GB) and Global Markets (GM), reflecting the benefits from the growth initiatives we have launched.
→ Underlying attributable profit reached EUR 1,742 million, a 18% increase year-on-year (+17% in constant euros), supported by strong revenue performances across business lines that far outpaced cost growth. We maintain a leading position in efficiency and profitability, with RoTE at 20.3%.
Strategy
Our Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) business is a global franchise, well diversified by business line, country and client type. We continue to demonstrate the strength of our global platform, delivering solid performances and supporting sustainable growth in 2026 despite geopolitical uncertainty.
In Q2 2026, we continued to make progress on our strategic priorities, scaling the capabilities built in recent years to support growth across the Group, while maintaining capital discipline, profitability and shareholder value creation, in line with our ambition to:
•Deepen strategic relationships with clients, putting them first, supported by a business model that combines in-depth industry knowledge, expert advice and proven financing capabilities. This focus enabled us to lead the ranking in terms of investment banking fees in Spain in H1 2026.
Clients increasingly expect faster, safer and more integrated solutions across products, sectors and markets. A good example this quarter was our role as Coordinating Lead Arranger in a USD 22.8 billion loan for Vantage Data Centers, one of our largest project finance loan deals, reflecting seamless collaboration across our Structured Finance & Advisory (SF&A), Private Debt Mobilization and Debt Capital Markets teams, among others.
•Accelerate ONE Santander and strengthen collaboration across the Group, reinforcing an integrated client agenda between GB, GM and Global Transaction Banking (GTB), and further embedding CIB capabilities across the Group’s global businesses. Of note were GM solutions and execution services, as well as GB and GTB acting as product factories to better serve Commercial Banking customers.
Our global platforms, particularly FX and Trade, remain important levers to strengthen CIB's product integration across the Group, increase digitalization and support more scalable and capital-light
growth models. In Trade, we are progressing in the industrialization of our operating model and now close to 50% of the Group's Trade business is running on global platforms.
The US remains one of our most important growth priorities, as reflected in its contribution to total CIB revenue. Looking ahead, the Webster acquisition, which is expected to be completed in H2 2026, represents an additional opportunity to expand our client access in this market and benefit from greater scale through collaboration and leverage Santander’s US platform more broadly.
•Transform our operating model through simplification, globalization and technology and AI to drive productivity, efficiency and enhanced risk and control management. We remained focused on shared platforms and on disciplined investment allocation. As a result, our progress in application and vendor optimization is generating meaningful efficiencies in support operations.
Technology and AI are key priorities, supporting the scaling of our capabilities. This quarter, we completed our first High-Quality Liquid Assets Exchange (HQLAx) tokenized securities lending trade, an important milestone in the use of distributed ledger technology to improve collateral mobility, settlement traceability and scalability.
AI is already delivering business benefits through initiatives such as the Automated Pricer, a tool for sales in equity derivatives and repos that increases pricing automation, enabling a higher volume of client requests to be served and improving funding decisions.
•We continue to actively manage capital through our Originate-to-Share (OtS) model and to support the scale-up of our client franchise and the growth of fee-intensive and capital-light businesses. As a result, our total revenue to risk-weighted assets ratio improved 0.8 pp year-on-year to 8.8%.

Business performance
Global Transaction Banking recorded higher activity levels in H1 2026 driven mainly by Export Finance, despite a less favourable interest rate environment:
•Trade & Working Capital Solutions maintained its good momentum driven by product innovation, strategic partnerships and our focus on strengthening clients' supply chains. We created initiatives that generate new business opportunities and enhance customer engagement and we increased the scale of solutions such as the Invensa partnership with Pemberton Asset Management and EIB guarantee agreements, both aimed at strengthening supply chains.
•Export Finance had high activity levels, leveraging our global platform, sector expertise and strong relationships with Export Credit Agencies and multilateral institutions. We remained focused on supporting clients globally with flexible and innovative solutions, such as the BPI France Assurance Export-backed financing for MSC Cruises, which strengthens our leading global position.
•Cash Management activity remained robust even in the current interest rate environment. We continued to grow our franchise in Latin America, expanding real-time payment solutions, enhancing treasury connectivity and developing product capabilities.
Global Banking (GB) registered strong activity levels, mainly in the Americas, supported by cross-border coverage, advisory and financing platforms:
•Corporate Finance (CF) achieved a very strong increase in activity levels year-on-year across products and markets. Leveraged Finance activity was supported by investor appetite across key sectors, with notable high-yield and cross-border transactions, such as Carlyle’s (US) buyout of BASF Coatings (Germany). ECM had a record quarter in terms of activity, supported by strong IPO momentum in the US and an important role in the IPO market reopening in Brazil.
•Structured Finance showed good activity levels despite geopolitical uncertainty, with especially good momentum in Fund Finance. Activity was supported by AI-related infrastructure and energy transition sectors. Activity remained strong in the US and in South America, while in Europe it remained at softer levels.
•Debt Finance continued with strong activity, supported by investor demand for investment-grade bonds in Europe and the US, and sustained momentum in Latin America. Activity also remained solid across refinancing, acquisition and event-driven financing, with notable transactions in the quarter such as Verizon’s inaugural USD hybrid bond.
Global Markets (GM) performed well, supported by sustained client-driven activity with institutional clients. Activity was mixed across countries, with strong momentum in the US, Mexico, Argentina and Chile compensating softer activity in Brazil. By product, the main activity drivers were Fixed Income, Currencies, and Commodities, mostly through securitized products, credit, FX and equity.
Gross customer loans and advances, excluding reverse repos, were up 25% year-on-year. In constant euros, they grew 22%, boosted by growth across business lines, especially in less capital-intensive products, such as Export Finance (ECAs) and Trade Finance in GTB and securitized products in GM.
Customer deposits, excluding repos, increased 7% year-on-year. In constant euros, they increased 4%, mainly driven by Cash Management.
Results
Underlying attributable profit in H1 2026 rose 18% year-on-year to EUR 1,742 million. In constant euros, it grew 17%, as follows:
•Total income rose 16%, on the back of strong net interest income and net fee income growth.
Net interest income increased 36%, due to higher volumes in financing activities through less capital-intensive products in GM.
Net fee income rose 7%, reflecting a strong Q2 in GB which was driven especially by Corporate Finance in the US and Europe.
Other income decreased due to lower gains on financial transactions, in a context of lower market volatility in Europe and Latin America.
By business line, in addition to double-digit revenue growth in GB and GM, total income in GTB increased 5%. By country, there were double-digit increases in the US, Europe, Mexico, Chile and Argentina.

Note: total income includes revenue from other activities which are less material (EUR 7 million in H1'25 and EUR 76 million in H1'26).
•Total costs increased 7%, reflecting higher activity levels, rising at a much slower pace than revenue. Efficiency improved 3.9 pp to 40.8%, one of the best in the sector.
•Net loan-loss provisions have a limited impact due to the nature of the business and the high quality of the portfolio. In H1 2026, they increased, driven by credit portfolio growth and some single names in Europe and Brazil.
As a result, RoTE reached 20.3% in H1 2026, 0.8 pp higher year-on-year, reflecting our focus on capital management, efficiency and profitability.
Compared to Q1 2026, total income was broadly stable in constant euros, as the strong quarter in GB offset the usual seasonality in GM in Q1. However, this was not reflected in underlying attributable profit due to higher costs and the impact of some single names in net loan-loss provisions.

Strategy
We aim to continue developing our Wealth Management & Insurance service model and value proposition through a common global platform that leverages the Group's scale and capabilities.
From 2026, our business lines are organized into two verticals: Private Banking and Insurance & Asset Management Solutions. This new structure enables us to capture more synergies and strengthen collaboration across businesses.
In Q2 2026, we focused on the following strategic initiatives:
•In Private Banking (PB), we continued to strengthen our global positioning, in line with our focus on enhancing client experience, increasing specialization, improving connectivity across regions and segments, and expanding our offering of higher value-added solutions.
During the quarter, we advanced in our innovation agenda, further enhancing AI-powered tools and capabilities across key markets.
For example, in Spain, we are developing AI-enabled solutions to increase the productivity and efficiency of our bankers, enabling them to focus on client advisory and higher value-added interactions. We are also making progress with our operational efficiency initiatives in our International Private Banking unit. These developments are helping to improve commercial effectiveness, advisory capabilities and client experience.
We continue to promote international collaboration as a key pillar of our value proposition, enabling us to connect clients to the full range of Santander's global capabilities. This is reflected in a 20% year-on-year increase in new client referrals.
At the same time, our efforts remain focused on Ultra-High-Net-Worth (UHNW) and Family Office clients through an enhanced value-added proposition, covering health, education, art and lifestyle services, aimed at strengthening client engagement within this strategic segment.

•Insurance & Asset Management Solutions (Ins. & AM Solutions) is now an established business line which offers a value proposition that brings together liquid, illiquid and insurance
products into a unified model, as a result of the integration of asset management and insurance businesses.
•In liquid products, we continue to strengthen our global investment platform and operating model to underpin solid commercial activity and sustained client engagement. The Group's global capabilities and a product offering aligned with client needs support the solid performance of our commercial metrics.
During the quarter, we continued to simplify and globalize our operating model, while deploying digital and automation capabilities, including tools such as SAMi (AI assistant supporting commercial activity) and SAM Conecta (global distribution and business intelligence platform that centralizes commercial and product information). Both enhance commercial effectiveness and operational efficiency.
•In illiquid products, we are scaling up the alternatives business. We continued to reinforce distribution and investment capabilities, while broadening our product offering, which is attracting institutional investors, family offices and private investors.
During Q2 2026, our private credit strategy fund (ABCL II) closed its first funding round. The initiative, which provides financing to companies backed by hard assets that are essential for business continuity, has an active fundraising pipeline that is expected to drive additional capital commitments in the coming months.

•In insurance, we are building a global operating model to become an integrated insurance platform that combines Life & Pensions, Health and Protection under a single execution model:
–In Life & Pensions, we are setting up a one-stop shop for retirement needs. In Spain and Portugal, we have integrated life savings and pensions into a single structure to deliver combined solutions, gaining efficiencies and scale, with the model already in place and new solutions under development.
–In Protection, we continue to integrate products into banking interactions with clients while strengthening our distribution model and unlocking value pools, such as health insurance.
In Brazil, we are addressing high value segments such as Select and SMEs. We also launched a proof of concept for the SaudeCompara platform, a solution that compares and distributes healthcare plans under a B2B2E model. In Portugal, our OneCare Health was named Product of the Year 2026, an award chosen by consumers, reflecting a differentiated health solution driven by its modularity and focus on prevention.

Business performance
Solid commercial activity and market performance in Q2 2026 enabled us to reach record total assets under management (AuMs) of EUR 581 billion, 13% higher year-on-year in constant euros.
By business and in constant euros, volumes performed as follows:
•In PB, commercial activity progressively normalized throughout Q2 following the exceptionally strong start to the year, demonstrating the resilience of client activity despite market movements and geopolitical uncertainty. At the same time, we remained focused on growing recurrent fees.
Customer assets and liabilities reached EUR 380 billion, +15% year-on-year, with all products growing, including value-added solutions, such as alternatives and discretionary portfolio management which we are promoting. Net new money totalled EUR 11.0 billion and our Private Banking customer base stood at nearly 302,000.
•In Insurance & Asset Management Solutions, total AuMs reached EUR 294 billion, +11% year-on-year:
–Liquid products: total AuMs reached EUR 292 billion, +11% year-on-year, on the back of solid commercial activity, demonstrating strong client engagement and an attractive product offering. Net sales totalled EUR 6.6 billion in H1 2026.
–Illiquid products: total AuMs reached EUR 2.6 billion, reflecting our expansion across countries.
–Insurance: gross written premiums reached EUR 6.2 billion in H1 2026, +11% year-on-year, with both Life & Pensions and Protection growing double digits.

Results
Underlying attributable profit in H1 2026 amounted to EUR 1,083 million, 19% higher year-on-year. In constant euros, it also grew 19%, with the following performance by line:
•Total income increased 9% as a result of our focus on value-added solutions to expand our fee businesses and improve revenue recurrency and predictability.
Net interest income decreased 1%, though it improved in the quarter supported by higher loan yields and an increase in the credit portfolio.

Net fee income rose 11% year-on-year, with strong performances across both business lines, but particularly in Private Banking, driven by solid commercial activity and our focus on promoting fee-generating activities and products.
Other income increased, boosted by the good performance in insurance.
•Total costs increased 6% year-on-year (growing at slower pace than total income) due to our investments to strengthen our teams and to develop new capabilities to address increasing commercial activity.
Including the fees distributed and recorded in other global businesses, total income reached EUR 3,385 million, up 8% on the back of higher customer activity in PB and higher volumes in Insurance & Asset Management Solutions.

Payments
Underlying attributable profit
EUR 78 mn
→ Santander holds a unique position in the payments industry, driven by its payments platform business, offering best-in-class products across the entire value chain: issuing, acquiring, account-to-account (A2A) payments and international payments.
→ Activity increased across all business lines, underpinned by the development of our global platforms, which enabled us to continue to gain scale. Total payments volume (TPV) in Getnet rose 10% year-on-year in constant euros, the number of transactions processed in Getnet Platforms was five times higher and Ebury's customer base grew 28% year-on-year.
→ Underlying attributable profit was EUR 78 million, four times higher than in H1 2025 in constant euros, driven by strong revenue growth. EBITDA margin improved 3.8 pp year-on-year to 32.6%.
Strategy
In Payment Solutions (Payments), the Group's payments platform business, we continued executing our priorities and strengthening our strategic positioning:
•In Getnet, our acquiring business, we maintain our leadership in the payments ecosystem across Latin America, Spain and Portugal. In Mexico in Q2 2026, we continued to innovate through an agentic payments use case that is pioneering in Latin America, in collaboration with Mastercard and the software company Neivor. It enables merchants to accept and process AI agent-initiated payments, strengthening our position in next-generation payment solutions.
We also strengthened our value proposition for global merchants with the launch of Pay-in in Brazil, an initiative that enables international businesses to trade and receive payments without establishing an entity in the country, thereby strengthening and simplifying cross-border expansion. We also enhanced our Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) solution in Mexico, our value-added service that allows international customers to pay in their local currency, with flexible pricing adapted to the transaction.
Additionally, we continued to advance in our commercial expansion in key sectors and countries through new strategic partnerships, such as the one reached with AEVI, a payment technology provider. Through this partnership, which has been deployed in Mexico, we have jointly developed a payments solution that broadens our potential access to new customers, supporting further growth in payments volumes.
•In Getnet Platforms, we continued to deploy our technology platform for A2A payment processing, foreign exchange, fraud detection and other value-added services. The platform now processes more than 1 billion payments per month across our markets.
At the same time, we are continuing to expand the rollout of our global card platform which is now processing more than 500 million transactions per month across Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Spain and the UK.
These platforms support multiple payment methods and greater differentiation in the open market and improve the efficiency of our operational processes and infrastructure.
•Ebury, our global platform offering cross-border payments and FX solutions for mid-sized companies and SMEs, completed a funding round of approximately GBP 550 million during the quarter, led by Centerbridge alongside Santander and existing stakeholders, to accelerate product development, international expansion and AI capabilities, further strengthening its long-term growth potential.
Business performance
In H1 2026, activity increased year-on-year, with widespread growth across our business lines.
•Getnet’s total payment volume reached EUR 129 billion, representing a 10% year-on-year increase in constant euros, driven mainly by higher commercial activity in Mexico, Brazil and Europe.
•In Getnet Platforms, the number of processed transactions were five times higher than the same period last year, driven by Brazil.
•At Ebury, the number of active customers grew by 28% year-on-year, surpassing 28,000.
Loans and deposits are not material in Payments, as they represent just 0.1% and 0.2% of the total Group, respectively.
Results
Underlying attributable profit was EUR 78 million in H1 2026, compared with a profit of EUR 16 million in H1 2025. In constant euros, the performance across lines was the following:
•Total income grew 17%, driven by net fee income in Getnet, supported by increased activity, and higher revenue from payment processing services provided to other financial institutions.
•Total costs rose 8%, +4% in real terms, reflecting the investments in the development of global platforms.
•Net loan-loss provisions increased due to the impact in Getnet Brazil in Q1 2026, though they are not material given the nature of the business.
Overall, the EBITDA margin reached 32.6% (+3.8 pp year-on-year).
Compared to Q1 2026, underlying attributable profit grew significantly in constant euros, supported by higher net fee income, net loan-loss provision normalization in Getnet Brazil and a lower tax burden.

Corporate Centre
Underlying attributable profit
-EUR 525 mn
→ The Corporate Centre continued to support the Group, defining, developing and coordinating the Group's strategy, as well as aiding the operating units, adding value.
→ It carries out the financial and capital management functions as well as corporate oversight and control functions and coordinates interactions with the Group's supervisors and regulators.
→ Underlying attributable loss in H1 2026 of EUR 525 million, compared with a loss of EUR 713 million in H1 2025, driven by lower LLPs, following provisions recorded in H1 2025 related to our plan to reduce the NPL ratio, and a lower tax burden. Additionally, it was supported by positive results related to certain stakes and dividends from our stake in Poland.
Strategy and functions
The Corporate Centre contributes value to the Group through the following functions, among others:
•Global control frameworks and supervision.
•Fostering the exchange of best practices in cost management, which enables us to be one of the most efficient banks.
•Collaborating in the definition and execution of the global strategy, corporate development operations and projects to ensure we meet the business plan.
•Contributing to the launch of projects that will be developed by our global businesses, aimed at leveraging our worldwide presence to generate economies of scale.
•Ensuring open and constructive communication with shareholders, analysts, investors, bondholders, rating agencies and other market players.
•Adding value to our businesses, countries and divisions by encouraging the exchange of best practices, driving and managing innovative global initiatives and defining corporate policies to improve process efficiency and customer service quality.
It also coordinates relationships with European regulators and supervisors and carries out functions related to financial management and capital, as follows:
•Financial Management functions:
•Structural management of liquidity risk associated with funding the Group’s recurring activity and stakes of a financial nature. At the end of June 2026, the liquidity buffer was EUR 329 billion (provisional data).
This is done ensuring the diversification of funding sources (issuances and others), maintaining an adequate profile in volumes, maturities and costs.
The price of these transactions with other Group units is the market rate that includes all liquidity concepts (which the Group supports by immobilizing funds during the term of the transaction) and regulatory requirements (TLAC/MREL).
•We also actively manage interest rate risk to dampen the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income, conducted via high credit quality, very liquid and low capital consumption derivatives.
•Strategic management of exposure to exchange rates in equity and dynamic management of the FX hedges related to the units’ next 12 months results in euros. The net investments in equity currently hedged totalled EUR 15,822 million (mainly in the UK,
Mexico and Chile) with different FX instruments (spots and forwards).
•Management of total capital and reserves: Group capital planning and management, aimed at optimizing capital use and efficient allocation across business units and opportunities by: i) coordinating with subsidiaries; ii) setting solvency targets and monitoring capital ratios; and iii) utilizing asset mobilization and risk transfer through the Global Asset Desk to maximize capital efficiency and shareholder returns.
Results
In H1 2026, the underlying attributable loss was EUR 525 million, compared with a loss of EUR 713 million recorded in H1 2025. By line:
•Net interest income declined EUR 107 million impacted by lower interest rates.
•Losses on financial transactions worsened by EUR 307 million, due to a higher impact from foreign currency hedges.
•Additionally, 'other operating income' increased due to higher results from certain stakes and the dividends from our stake in Poland.
•Total costs decreased by 3% compared to H1 2025, reflecting simplification measures.
•Net loan-loss provisions improved significantly, as we recorded provisions in H1 2025 related to our plan to accelerate NPL ratio reductions, which improved the Group's credit quality.
•Additionally, the improvement in underlying profit was supported by a lower tax burden year-on-year.

–In Structured Finance, we supported financing Foxtail Flats and Four Mile Mesa Solar and Storage, two projects by DESRI, one of the leading renewable energy developers in the US, providing solar generation and battery storage capacity to power Meta's data centres.
→ In Wealth, our Socially Responsible Investments reached 24% of total assets under management, including SAM funds, third-party funds, portfolios and directly held assets under advisory in Private Banking.
Additionally, we allocated EUR 29.1 million in the quarter to promote education, employability and entrepreneurship, and helped 1.2 million people and organizations. In total, we have allocated EUR 351.1 million since 2023, moving towards our EUR 400 million target set for 2023-2026.
1.Target was set in 2019 and 2021, before the publication of the European taxonomy in Q2 2023. Therefore, the target definition is not fully aligned with the taxonomy. For further information, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.

•Alternative performance measures
Alternative performance measures (APMs)
In addition to the financial information prepared under IFRS, this consolidated directors’ report contains financial measures that constitute alternative performance measures (APMs) to comply with the guidelines on alternative performance measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority on 5 October 2015 and non-IFRS measures.
The financial measures contained in this consolidated directors’ report that qualify as APMs and non-IFRS measures have been calculated using our financial information but are not defined or detailed in the applicable financial information framework or under IFRS and therefore have neither been audited nor are susceptible to being fully audited.
We use these APMs and non-IFRS measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. We consider these APMs and non-IFRS financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. While we believe that these APMs and non-IFRS financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute of IFRS measures. In addition, the way in which Santander defines and calculates these APMs and non-IFRS measures may differ from the calculations used by other companies with similar measures and, therefore, may not be comparable.
The APMs and non-IFRS measures we use in this document can be categorized as follows:
Underlying results
In addition to IFRS results measures, we present some results measures which are non-IFRS and which we refer to as underlying measures. These measures allow in our view a better year-on-year comparability given that they exclude items outside the ordinary performance of our business (e.g. capital gains, write-downs, impairment of goodwill) or certain line items have been reclassified in the underlying ("adjusted") income statement, as their impact on profit is zero, to facilitate comparisons with prior quarters and better understand the trends in the business.
In addition, in the 'Financial information by segment' section, covering the primary and secondary segments, results are presented only on an underlying basis in accordance with IFRS 8, and reconciled on an aggregate basis to our IFRS consolidated results to the consolidated financial statements, which are set out below.
As a result of the announcement of the Poland disposal on 5 May 2025 and in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, in the statutory income statement, results associated with the business subject to the Poland disposal are reported under a single line in the consolidated income statement — 'profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations' — for results corresponding to 2025. Consequently, the results affected by the Poland disposal perimeter are excluded line by line from the breakdown of continuing operations. In Q1 2026, this line 'profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations' recorded the capital gain from the completion of the Poland disposal.
The Group's underlying income statement records the results related to the business subject to the Poland disposal for all periods in 2025 and the capital gain from the completion of the Poland disposal in Q1 2026 in a single line item, 'non-recurring items'. The impacts recorded in this line are therefore excluded from the Group's underlying profit, thereby enabling a consistent comparison.
From Q2 2026, there no additional impacts from the Poland disposal.
Following the completion of the TSB acquisition, TSB results have been included line by line in both the statutory and underlying income statements from May 2026.
However, in the underlying income statement, the restructuring costs associated with this transaction were recorded under ‘non-recurring items’, as they are costs associated with M&A activity and, therefore, are excluded from the Group’s underlying attributable profit.

Explanation of adjustments corresponding to 2026 results:
•Certain charges recorded in the statutory account under the line items that comprise 'other gains (losses) and provisions' are presented in the underlying income statement under the 'total costs' line item. These are mainly related to recurring operating charges, primarily related to labour and legal processes, amounting to EUR 676 million.
•In the statutory income statement, the EUR 1,895 million capital gain resulting from the completion of the Poland disposal in Q1 2026 was recorded in the 'profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations' line item. However, in the underlying income statement, said capital gain is excluded from underlying profit.
•In the statutory income statement, EUR 250 million (net of tax) of restructuring costs associated with the TSB acquisition in Q2 2026 were recorded in the 'provisions or reversal of provisions' line item, aggregated in 'other gains (losses) and provisions'. However, in the underlying income statement, these costs have been excluded from underlying profit.
•In Q2 2026, an additional provision totalling EUR 39 million, net of tax and non-controlling interests, was recorded for or potential complaints related to motor finance dealer commissions in the UK associated with our joint ventures. In the underlying income statement, this provision has been reclassified from a line item that is aggregated within ‘other operating income’, from 'tax on profit' and from 'non-controlling interests' to 'other gains (losses) and provisions', thereby recording the full amount in aggregate in a single line item.

•Alternative performance measures
Ratios
All underlying profitability, efficiency, credit quality and other metrics included in this 'Alternative performance measures' section have been calculated in all the periods in 2025 excluding business affected by the Poland disposal, in line with the underlying income statement, unless indicated otherwise.
Profitability and efficiency ratios
The purpose of the profitability ratios is to measure the ratio of profit to equity, to tangible equity, to assets and to risk-weighted assets, while the efficiency ratio measures the amount of costs needed to generate revenue. The results related to activity in Poland affected by the Poland disposal are recorded in the 'non-recurring items' line within the underlying income statement. Profitability ratios are therefore also presented on an underlying basis.

RatioFormulaRelevance of the metric
RoEProfit attributable to the parent (annualized)This ratio measures the return that shareholders obtain on the funds invested in the bank and as such measures the bank’s ability to pay shareholders.

   Average stockholders’ equity 1 (excl. minority interests)
RoTE
Profit attributable to the parent minus AT1
costs (annualized) 2
This indicator is used to assess the profitability of a company as a percentage of its tangible equity, deducting AT1 issuance costs from the numerator. It is measured as the return that shareholders receive as a percentage of the funds invested in the bank less intangible assets.
(Return on Tangible Equity)
Average stockholders' equity 1 (excl. minority interests) - intangible assets
Underlying RoTE
Underlying profit attributable to the parent minus AT1 costs (annualized) 2
As with RoTE, this indicator is used to assess the profitability of the tangible equity of a company, deducting AT1 issuance costs from the numerator, but excluding results from operations outside the ordinary course of business (i.e. arising from underlying activities).
Average stockholders' equity 1 (excl. minority interests) - intangible assets
RoAConsolidated profit (annualized)This metric measures the profitability of a company as a percentage of its total assets. It is an indicator that reflects the efficiency of the bank’s total assets in generating profit over a given period.
(Return on Assets)Average total assets
Underlying RoAUnderlying consolidated profit (annualized)This metric measures the profitability of a company as a percentage of its total assets excluding results from operations outside the ordinary course of business. It is an indicator that reflects the efficiency of the bank’s total assets in generating underlying profit over a given period.
Average total assets
RoRWAConsolidated profit (annualized)The return adjusted for risk is a derivative of the RoA metric. The difference is that RoRWA measures profit in relation to the bank’s risk-weighted assets.
(Return on Risk-Weighted Assets)Average risk-weighted assets
Underlying RoRWAUnderlying consolidated profit (annualized)This relates the underlying consolidated profit (excluding results from operations outside the ordinary course of business) to the Group’s risk-weighted assets.
Average risk-weighted assets
Efficiency
Total costs 3
One of the most commonly used indicators when comparing productivity of different financial entities. It measures the amount of resources used to generate the bank’s total income.
(Cost-to-income)Total income
1.Stockholders’ equity = Capital and Reserves + Accumulated other comprehensive income + Profit attributable to the parent + Dividends.
2.Excluding the adjustment to the valuation of goodwill, since they are not considered in the denominator, we believe this calculation is more correct.
3.Total costs = Administrative expenses + Amortizations + Other operating costs.

1.Averages included in the RoE, RoTE, RoA and RoRWA denominators are calculated using the monthly average over the period, which we believe should not differ materially from using daily balances.
2.For periods less than one year, and if there are results outside the ordinary course of our business, the profit used to calculate RoE and RoTE is the annualized underlying profit, to which said results are added without annualizing. However, in 2025 figures, results relating to the Poland disposal have been annualized.

Credit risk indicators
The credit risk indicators measure the quality of the credit portfolio and the percentage of non-performing loans covered by provisions. These metrics have been enhanced to include corporate exposures originated through private fixed income products. Additionally, they exclude the balances affected by the Poland disposal from all periods presented.
RatioFormulaRelevance of the metric
NPL ratio
(Non-performing loans ratio)
Credit impaired customer loans and advances, guarantees and undrawn balances and debt securities issued by non-financial institutionsThe NPL ratio is an important variable regarding financial institutions' activity since it gives an indication of the level of credit risk the entities are exposed to. It calculates risks that are, in accounting terms, declared to be credit impaired as a percentage of the total outstanding amount of customer credit and contingent liabilities and debt securities issued by non-financial institutions.
Total risk 1
NPL coverage ratioTotal allowances to cover impairment losses on customer loans and advances, guarantees and undrawn balances and debt securities issued by non-financial institutionsThe NPL coverage ratio is a fundamental metric in the financial sector. It reflects the level of provisions as a percentage of the credit impaired assets. Therefore, it is a good indicator of the entity's solvency against customer defaults both present and future.
Credit impaired customer loans and advances, guarantees and undrawn balances and debt securities issued by non-financial institutions
Cost of riskAllowances for loan-loss provisions over the last 12 monthsThis ratio quantifies loan-loss provisions arising from credit risk over a defined period of time for a given loan and debt securities issued by non-financial institutions portfolio. As such, it acts as an indicator of credit quality.
Average loans and advances to customers and debt securities issued by non-financial institutions over the last 12 months

•Alternative performance measures
Other indicators
The Group has a series of additional financial metrics which facilitate analysis of the underlying business trends and performance.
RatioFormulaRelevance of the metric
TNAV per share
 Tangible book value 1
This is a very commonly used ratio used to measure the company’s accounting value per share having deducted the intangible assets. It is useful in evaluating the amount each shareholder would receive if the company were to enter into liquidation and had to sell all the company’s tangible assets.
(Tangible net asset value per share)  Number of shares excluding treasury stock
Price / tangible book value per share (X) Share priceThis is one of the most commonly used ratios by market participants for the valuation of listed companies both in absolute terms and relative to other entities. This ratio measures the relationship between the price paid for a company and its accounting equity value.
TNAV per share
LTD ratioNet loans and advances to customersThis is an indicator of the bank's liquidity. It measures the
total loans and advances to customers net of loan-loss provisions as a percentage of customer deposits.
(Loan-to-deposit) Customer deposits
Loans and advances (excl. reverse repos)Gross loans and advances to customers excluding reverse reposIn order to aid analysis of the commercial banking activity, reverse repos are excluded as they are highly volatile treasury products.
Deposits (excl. repos)Customer deposits excluding reposIn order to aid analysis of the commercial banking activity, repos are excluded as they are highly volatile treasury products.
PAT + fees paid to SAN (in Wealth Management & Insurance) Net profit + fees ceded by Santander Insurance & Asset Management Solutions to the branch network, net of taxes, excluding Private Banking customersMetric to assess Wealth Management & Insurance’s total contribution to the Group’s profit.
Payments' EBITDA margin
EBITDA 2
EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) is a financial metric whose purpose is to measure the operating performance of the business before interest, taxes and amortization, in relation to total revenue. It is used to assess the business’s operating profitability and its capacity to generate results from its core activities, isolating the impact of financial, tax and accounting factors.
Total income
1.Tangible book value = Stockholders' equity (excl. minority interests) - intangible assets.
2.EBITDA = net operating income - amortizations - impairment of other assets + net loan-loss provisions.

1.For TNAVs corresponding to periods in 2025, we have taken into account intangible assets related to the Poland disposal, even though they were recorded in ‘non-current assets held for sale’ from Q2 2025, in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements.
2.For 2026 data, the definition of EBITDA margin has been aligned with the new Group reporting, without changing prior periods. Therefore, the net operating income used for periods in 2025 does not include the ‘other operating costs’ line item.

•Alternative performance measures
Local currency measures
We make use of certain financial measures in local currency to help in the assessment of our ongoing operating performance. These non-IFRS financial measures include the results of operations of our subsidiary banks located outside the eurozone, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates do not have an operating impact on the results, we believe that evaluating their performance on a local currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment of performance to both management and the company’s investors.
The Group presents, at both the Group level as well as the business unit level, the changes in the income statement as well as the changes excluding the exchange rate effect ('excluding FX' or 'constant euros'), as it considers the latter facilitates analysis, since it enables business movements to be identified without taking into account the impact of converting each local currency into euros.
Said variations, excluding the impact of exchange rate movements, are calculated by converting income statement lines for the different business units comprising the Group into our presentation currency, the euro, applying the average exchange rate for H1 2026 to all periods contemplated in the analysis. We use this method for all countries with the exception of Argentina, where we use the exchange rate on the last working day of each period presented, given it is a hyperinflationary economy, to mitigate the distortions caused by the hyperinflation.
We present, at both the Group level as well as the business unit level, the changes in euros as well as the changes excluding the exchange rate effect ('excluding FX' or 'constant euros') for loans and advances to customers excluding reverse repurchase agreements (repos) and customer funds (which comprise customer deposits and mutual funds) excluding repos. Additionally, we
present changes in the main balance sheet lines of the Group's countries both in euros as well as the changes excluding the exchange rate effect. As with the income statement, the reason is to facilitate analysis by isolating the changes in the balance sheet that are not caused by converting each local currency into euros.
These changes excluding the impact of exchange rate movements are calculated by converting the balances into our presentation currency, the euro, applying the closing exchange rate on the last working day of June 2026 to all periods contemplated in the analysis. We use this method to calculate the variations for all countries with the exception of Argentina, where we use the exchange rate on the last working day of each period presented, given it is a hyperinflationary economy, to mitigate the distortions caused by the hyperinflation.
In Q1 2025, due to the significant divergence between the official exchange rate and other macroeconomic magnitudes in Argentina, mainly inflation, we applied an alternative exchange rate for the Argentine peso taking the dollar contado con liquidación rate (CCL) as a reference, which is the exchange rate resulting from the sale of local bonds denominated in Argentine pesos in US dollars (dual denomination peso/dollar bonds).
From Q2 2025, we once again apply the official exchange rate given that the value of the dollar CCL exchange rate did not significantly differ from other market rates or the official exchange rate following the lifting of currency controls and the removal of restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency for individuals in Argentina.
The average and period-end exchange rates for the main currencies in which the Group operates are set out in the table below.
Exchange rates: 1 euro / currency parity

•Alternative performance measures
Impact of inflation rate on the variations of total costs
Santander presents, for both the Group and the business units included in the primary and secondary segments: i) the changes in total costs in euros; ii) the changes excluding the exchange rate effect with the exception of Argentina which is calculated as described above in 'Local currency measures'; and iii) the changes excluding the exchange rate effect and significant M&A impacts (i.e. in H1 2026, it excludes TSB) minus the effect of average inflation over the last twelve months (i.e. in 'real terms'), except for Argentina as Argentina's cost growth in euros should already largely reflect the effect of hyperinflation on exchange rates. The reason is that the two latter facilitate analysis for management purposes.
Inflation is calculated as the arithmetic average of the last 12 months for each country and, for the global businesses, as the weighted average the inflation rate of each country comprising the global business, weighted by each country's total costs. For the Group and the global businesses, to mitigate the impact from hyperinflation in the country, we exclude the impact of inflation in Argentina from the calculation as Argentina's cost growth in euros should already largely reflect the effect of hyperinflation on exchange rates.
The table below shows the average inflation rates calculated as indicated.

Important information
Non-IFRS and alternative performance measures
Banco Santander, S.A. (“Santander”) cautions that this report may contain financial information prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and taken from our consolidated financial statements, as well as alternative performance measures (APMs) as defined in the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 October 2015, and other non-IFRS measures. The APMs and non-IFRS measures were calculated with information from Grupo Santander; however, they are neither defined or detailed in the applicable financial reporting framework nor audited or reviewed by our auditors. We use the APMs and non-IFRS measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. We consider them to be useful metrics for our management and investors to compare operating performance between accounting periods.
Nonetheless, the APMs and non-IFRS measures are supplemental information; their purpose is not to substitute the IFRS measures. Furthermore, other companies, including some in our industry, may calculate or use APMs and non-IFRS measures differently, thus making them less useful for comparison purposes. APMs using environmental, social and governance labels have not been calculated in accordance with the Taxonomy Regulation or with the indicators for principal adverse impact in SFDR.
For more details on APMs and non-IFRS measures, please see the 2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on 27 February 2026 (https://www.santander.com/content/dam/santander-com/es/documentos/informacion-sobre-resultados-semestrales-y-anuales-suministrada-a-la-sec/2026/sec-2025-annual-20-f-2025-disponible-solo-en-ingles-es.pdf), except with respect to the information and the audited financial statements included therein and superseded by the information and the audited financial statements included in our Report on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on 1 April 2026 relating to certain recast financial information as a result of certain changes to the presentation of the Group’s financial information (https://www.santander.com/content/dam/santander-com/en/documentos/informacion-sobre-resultados-semestrales-y-anuales-suministrada-a-la-sec/2026/sec-recast-of-certain-financial-information-and-related-disclosure-for-the-three-years-ended-31-december-2025-en.pdf), as well as the section “Alternative performance measures” of this second quarter financial report, which was published on 22 July 2026 (https://www.santander.com/en/shareholders-and-investors/financial-and-economic-information#quarterly-results).
Sustainability information
This report may contain, in addition to financial information, sustainability-related information, including environmental, social and governance-related metrics, statements, goals, targets, commitments and opinions. Sustainability information is not audited nor reviewed by an external auditor. Sustainability information is prepared following various external and internal frameworks, reporting guidelines and measurement, collection and verification methods and practices, which may materially differ from those applicable to financial information and are in many cases emerging and evolving. Sustainability information is based on various materiality thresholds, estimates, assumptions, judgments and underlying data derived internally and from third parties. Sustainability information is thus subject to significant measurement uncertainties, may not be comparable to sustainability information of other companies or over time or across periods and its use is not meant to imply that the information is fit for any particular purpose or that it is material to us under mandatory reporting standards. The sustainability information is for informational purposes only, without any liability being accepted in connection with it except where such liability cannot be limited under overriding provisions of applicable law.
Forward-looking statements
Santander hereby warns that this report may contain 'forward-looking statements', as defined by the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements can be understood through words and expressions like 'expect', 'project', 'anticipate', 'should', 'intend', 'probability', 'risk', 'VaR', 'RoRAC', 'RoRWA', 'TNAV', 'target', 'goal', 'objective', 'estimate', 'future', 'ambition', 'aspiration', 'commitment', 'commit', 'focus', 'pledge' and similar expressions. They include (but are not limited to) statements on future business development, shareholder remuneration policy and non-financial information. However, risks, uncertainties and other important factors may lead to developments and results that differ materially from those anticipated, expected, projected or assumed in forward-looking statements. The important factors below (and others mentioned in this report, as well as other unknown or unpredictable factors, could affect our future development and results and could lead to outcomes materially different from what our forward-looking statements anticipate, expect, project or assume:
•general economic or industry conditions (e.g., an economic downturn; higher volatility in the capital markets; inflation; deflation; changes in demographics, consumer spending, investment or saving habits; and the effects of the armed conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, or the outbreak of public health emergencies in the global economy) in areas where we have significant operations or investments;
•exposure to operational risks, including cyberattacks, data breaches, data losses and other security incidents;
•exposure to market risks (e.g., risks from interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and new benchmark indices);
•potential losses from early loan repayment, collateral depreciation or counterparty risk;
•political instability in Spain, the UK, other European countries, Latin America and the US;
•changes in monetary, fiscal and immigration policies and trade tensions, including the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory responses;
•legislative, regulatory or tax changes (including regulatory capital and liquidity requirements) and greater regulation prompted by financial crises;
•acquisitions, integrations, divestitures and challenges arising from deviating management’s resources and attention from other strategic opportunities and operational matters;

•reputational risk and potential adverse reactions of stakeholders, including adverse effects on the market price of our securities
•climate-related conditions, regulations, targets and weather events;
•uncertainty over the scope of actions that may be required by us, governments and other to achieve goals relating to climate, environmental and social matters, as well as the evolving nature of underlying science and potential conflicts and inconsistencies among governmental standards and regulations. Important factors affecting sustainability information may materially differ from those applicable to financial information. Sustainability information is based on various materiality thresholds, estimates, assumptions, judgments and underlying data derived internally and from third parties. Sustainability information is thus subject to significant measurement uncertainties, may not be comparable to sustainability information of other companies or over time or across periods and its inclusion is not meant to imply that the information is fit for any particular purpose or that it is material to us under mandatory reporting standards. The sustainability information is for informational purposes only, without any liability being accepted in connection with it except where such liability cannot be limited under overriding provisions of applicable law;
•our own decisions and actions, including those affecting or changing our practices, operations, priorities, strategies, policies or procedures; and
•changes affecting our access to liquidity and funding on acceptable terms, especially due to credit spread shifts or credit rating downgrade for the entire group or core subsidiaries.
Additionally, Webster Financial Corporation’s (“Webster”) and Santander’s actual results, financial condition and achievements may differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause Webster’s and Santander’s actual results, financial condition and achievements to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements include, in addition to those set forth in Webster’s and Santander’s filings with the SEC: (1) the risk that the cost savings, synergies and other benefits from the acquisition of Webster by Santander (the “Transaction”) may not be fully realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized, including as a result of changes in, or problems arising from, general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Webster and Santander operate; (2) the failure of the closing conditions in the Transaction agreement by and among Webster, Santander and a wholly owned subsidiary of Webster providing for the Transaction to be satisfied, or any unexpected delay in closing the Transaction or the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay the Transaction or could give rise to the termination of the Transaction agreement; (3) the outcome of any legal or regulatory proceedings or governmental inquiries or investigations that may be currently pending or later instituted against Webster, Santander or the combined company; (4) the possibility that the Transaction does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed Transaction); (5) disruption to the parties’ businesses as a result of the announcement and pendency of the Transaction; (6) the costs associated with the anticipated length of time of the pendency of the Transaction, including the restrictions contained in the definitive Transaction agreement on the ability of Webster to operate its business outside the ordinary course during the pendency of the Transaction; (7) risks related to management and oversight of the expanded business and operations of the combined company following the closing of the proposed Transaction; (8) the risk that the integration of Webster’s operations with Santander’s will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected or that the parties are otherwise unable to successfully integrate each party’s businesses into the other’s businesses; (9) the possibility that the Transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; (10) reputational risk and potential adverse reactions of Webster’s or Santander’s customers, employees, vendors, contractors or other business partners, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the Transaction; (11) the dilution caused by Santander’s issuance of additional ordinary shares and corresponding American depositary shares, each representing the right to receive one of its ordinary shares (“ADSs”), in connection with the Transaction; (12) the possibility that any announcements relating to the Transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of Webster’s common stock and Santander’s ordinary shares and ADSs; (13) a material adverse change in the condition of Webster or Santander; (14) the extent to which Webster’s or Santander’s businesses perform consistent with management’s expectations; (15) Webster’s and Santander’s ability to take advantage of growth opportunities and implement targeted initiatives in the timeframe and on the terms currently expected; (16) the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; (17) the execution and efficacy of recent strategic investments; (18) the impact of macroeconomic factors, such as changes in general economic conditions and monetary and fiscal policy, particularly on interest rates; (19) changes in customer behavior; (20) unfavorable developments concerning credit quality; (21) declines in the businesses or industries of Webster’s or Santander’s customers; (22) the possibility that the combined company is subject to additional regulatory requirements as a result of the proposed Transaction or expansion of the combined company’s business operations following the proposed Transaction; (23) general competitive, political and market conditions and other factors that may affect future returns of Webster and Santander, including changes in asset quality and credit risk; (24) security risks, including cybersecurity and data privacy risks, and capital markets; (25) inflation; (26) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; (27) capital management activities; (28) competitive product and pricing pressures; (29) the outcomes of legal and regulatory proceedings and related financial services industry matters; and (30) compliance with regulatory requirements.
