3. Key external factors

Key macroeconomic factors which impacted the financial and business performance of Santander Bank Polska Group in Q3 2025

Economic growth  Further acceleration of the economy, although accompanied by considerable volatility in monthly activity data
(e.g. weaker-than-expected August figures, stronger September results).
Labour market  Slight increase in the unemployment rate, which still remains close to its historical lows. Continued deceleration in
wage growth, with solid growth of real wages. Further small decline in the number of employed persons despite
ongoing net inflow of foreign workers into the labour market.
Inflation  Lower-than-expected CPI inflation path, driven in part by strong domestic harvests of fruit and vegetables and global
grain supply. Inflation in the target band.
Monetary policy  Further interest rate cuts by the MPC, prompting price adjustments in markets, despite highlighting inflation risks and
limited room for further monetary easing.
Fiscal policy  Deterioration in the government's fiscal deficit forecast for 2025 to 6.9% of GDP, and the draft 2026 budget reducing
the deficit only slightly to 6.5% of GDP. Announcement by the Ministry of Finance that public debt will exceed 60% of
GDP already in 2025, rather than in 2026 as previously signalled, with the upward trend expected to continue in
subsequent years. State Public Debt projected to exceed the safety threshold of 55% of GDP in 2028, forcing the
government to prepare a balanced budget. Very high issuance of government bonds expected to continue in 2026,
with a downward revision of estimated borrowing needs for 2025. Government seeking additional revenue sources,
including a proposal to raise the CIT rate on banks to 30% in 2026. Assignment of a negative outlook to Poland's credit
rating by Fitch and Moody's in September.
Loans market  Credit market gaining momentum, with continued strong and improving sales of consumer loans, robust growth
in mortgage lending and stable level of corporate lending.
Financial markets  Positive sentiment on global financial markets, supporting sustained high risk appetite.
 Stability of the domestic financial market, with strong resilience of both the bond market and the exchange rate
to domestic macroeconomic data, deteriorating fiscal outlook, and geopolitical security incidents.

Expected ownership changes

On 5 May 2025, an announcement was made about an agreement concluded by Erste Group Bank AG (Erste Group) and Banco Santander S.A. (Santander Group) whereby Erste Group will acquire a 49% stake in Santander Bank Polska S.A. for EUR 6.8bn (PLN 584 per share) and a 50% stake in Santander Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych S.A. (Santander TFI S.A.) for EUR 0.2bn. The total value of the transaction will be EUR 7bn.

The closing of the sale transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other prerequisites such as the sale of a 60% stake in Santander Consumer Bank S.A. held by Santander Bank Polska S.A. to Santander Group.

By acquiring 49% of shares in Santander Bank Polska S.A., Erste Group will become the largest shareholder. Banco Santander S.A. will keep a stake representing 13% of the share capital of Santander Bank Polska S.A.

With the acquisition of a stake in Santander Bank Polska S.A., Erste Group will gain a significant share in the Polish banking sector, strengthen its presence in Central and Eastern Europe and move closer to fulfilling its long-standing strategic goal: to become the leading lender in this European region.

Founded in 1819 as the first Austrian savings bank, Erste Group went public in 1997 with a strategy to expand its retail business into Central and Eastern Europe. Since then Erste Group has grown to become one of the largest financial services providers in Central and Eastern Europe in terms of the number of customers and total assets.

Erste Group is headquartered in Vienna and operates as a universal bank, providing services to more than 16 million customers in seven countries: Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Croatia and Serbia.

5. Structure of Santander Bank Polska Group

> Subsidiaries and associates of Santander Bank Polska S.A. as at 30 September 2025

  • 1) On 26 August 2025, the National Court Register registered a change of name from Santander Inwestycje Sp. z o.o. to SPV XX04062025 Sp. z o.o. w likwidacji.
  • 2) Stellantis Financial Services Polska Sp. z o.o. is a subsidiary undertaking for the purposes of consolidated financial reporting as it is controlled by Santander Consumer Bank S.A. (directly) and Santander Bank Polska S.A. (indirectly). Pursuant to the framework agreement, Santander Consumer Bank S.A. (SCB S.A.) has the right to take decisions regarding key areas such as financing and risk management. In practice, SCB S.A. has ability to direct activities that significantly affect investment returns and is exposed to potential risks (e.g. losses) and benefits (e.g. dividends).
  • 3) SC Poland Consumer 23-1 Designated Activity Company (DAC) is a special purpose entity (SPE) incorporated in Dublin on 17 June 2022 for the purpose of securitising a part of the retail loan portfolio of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. (SCB S.A.) The SPE does not have any capital connections with SCB S.A., which nevertheless exercises control over the entity in accordance with IFRS 10.7. based on contractual rights. The Servicing Agreement and Asset Transfer Agreement give SCB S.A. power over the management and operations of the SPE. In addition, the entity relies on SCB S.A. for access to financing and guarantees as well as technology, know-how and other resources, which further enhances the controlling power of the Bank.
  • 4) The owners of Santander Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych S.A. (Santander TFI S.A.), i.e. Santander Bank Polska S.A. and Banco Santander S.A., are members of global Santander Group and hold an equal stake of 50% in the company's share capital. Santander Bank Polska S.A. has control over Santander TFI S.A. because, as concluded by the Bank's Management Board in line with the guidance provided in IFRS 10 par. B18 and legal requirements concerning Santander TFI S.A. and its operations, the Bank has a practical ability to unilaterally direct the relevant activities of Santander TFI S.A. even if it does not have a contractual right to do so. The Bank can have a real impact on the composition of the Supervisory Board and through it – on the composition of the Management Board of Santander TFI S.A., both of which decide on the relevant activities of Santander TFI S.A. Furthermore, as the major business partner and distributor of investment products, Santander Bank Polska S.A. significantly affects the operations and returns of the investment fund company. At the same time, through its ownership interest, the Bank has right to variable returns generated by that company and carries the risk related to that variability. It should therefore be concluded that by having power and right to variable returns (benefits), the Bank has control over Santander TFI S.A. The planned sale of a stake in Santander Bank Polska S.A. by Banco Santander S.A. does not affect the Bank's judgment in this respect.

6. Share price of Santander Bank Polska S.A. vs the market

In Q3 2025, the Warsaw Stock Exchange faced major swings in investor sentiment due to the unstable performance of the banking sector, among other factors. While the market conditions were relatively favourable in the first part of the quarter, supported by growing hopes for a ceasefire in Ukraine, the disappointing circumstances (including no effects of the talks at the Anchorage summit of 15 August 2025, planned increase in CIT for banks and in other taxes) in the second half of August led to the largest correction in market indices in several months. As a result, the market returned to the levels from before the latest upward trend. Bank stocks fluctuated most after the government announced its plans to increase taxes on banks. In effect, stock market indices surprised to the downside: WIG gained 1.6%, while WIG20 and WIG Banks lost 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively. The shares of Santander Bank Polska S.A. took the hit too, with the market capitalisation decreasing by 4.2% in Q3 2025. In mid-August, however, when investor sentiment was at its highest, the rate of return was nearly 17% (calculated from the beginning of the quarter). Legislative risk and recent low inflation readings add to the negative pressure on the stocks of the sector as a whole, gently pushing the Monetary Policy Council into further interest rate cuts. On the other hand, the stable economic environment, strong labour market and prospective infrastructure investments bode well for banks' financials in the coming quarters.

II. Economic situation in Q3 2025

Economic growth

The Polish economy remains on a path of gradual recovery, with current performance placing it among the leading European countries. In Q2, GDP growth reached 3.3% YoY, and high-frequency data suggest that in Q3 economic growth slightly accelerated, likely above 3.5% YoY (the preliminary GDP estimate for Q3 will be published in mid-November). Our forecast for full-year GDP growth in 2025 is 3.5%. The structure of economic growth has shifted towards private consumption, which remains strong thanks to rising real income and a revival in credit activity. For the remainder of the year, real growth should remain above 4% YoY. After a surprising upswing at the beginning of the year, investments declined again in Q2, but should accelerate markedly in the second half of the year. The absorption of funds from the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility will provide an investment impulse, with its peak expected in 2026. Robust domestic demand growth is pushing net exports below zero, although the expected improvement in the European business cycle should keep its negative contribution to GDP growth at moderate levels.

Industrial production showed modest positive growth during the summer months, followed by a spectacular acceleration to 7.4% YoY in September (partly supported by calendar effects). A persistent issue is the reduced competitiveness in foreign markets. However, export-oriented sectors have recently recorded stronger volume growth than those targeting the domestic market, and sentiment indices appear to signal further improvement in export production in the coming months. After a significant decline in construction output in August (by almost 7% YoY), September brought a largerthan-expected rebound, resulting in a decrease in output in this sector of approximately 2% YoY for the entire quarter. Construction sector performance continued to be negatively affected by delays in the disbursement of EU funds. Retail sales, on the other hand, performed well, growing by an average of around 5% YoY in constant prices in the third quarter, thanks to continued growth in real wages and a new wave of optimism captured in consumer sentiment surveys.

Labour market

The domestic labour market continues to exhibit historically low unemployment. The recent slight increase in the registered unemployment rate to 5.5% in August from an average of 5.1% in Q2 resulted from a procedural change that temporarily limited the number of individuals losing their unemployed status. Employment growth in the corporate sector remained slightly negative (-0.8% YoY), reflecting a reduction of approximately 44k in the number of FTEs since the beginning of the year. However, surveys among private individuals do not indicate rising concerns about the labour market situation. According to the Labour Force Survey, the number of employed persons in Q2 did not change significantly YoY, and the number of employed persons excluding individual farmers increased by 0.2% YoY. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate based on LFS data stood at 3.2% in August, which is half the level observed in the euro area. Wage growth in the corporate sector remained relatively high, exceeding 7% YoY in Q3. While this was lower than the nearly 9% growth recorded in the previous quarter, it still clearly outpaced average inflation.

Inflation

The third quarter was marked by a significantly lower average inflation rate (3.0% YoY) compared to previous quarters (4.9% in Q1, 4.1% in Q2). This decline was almost entirely due to a statistical base effect related to the surge in energy prices in July 2024 and occurred alongside nearly stable core inflation (3.4% YoY in June, 3.2% in September). Q3 also saw a slowdown in food prices, from around 5% YoY to nearly 4%, supported by strong domestic harvests of fruits and vegetables. PPI inflation remained below -1% YoY. From a monetary policy perspective, it is important to note that in July inflation entered the band of tolerable deviations from the inflation target and remained within it throughout Q3.

Monetary policy

The Monetary Policy Council continued its monetary policy easing cycle. Interest rates were cut by 25bp in both July and September, the reference rate was lowered to 4.75%. Throughout Q3, the MPC maintained a cautious stance, emphasising a data-driven approach. Key inflation risks highlighted by the Council included: persistently high wage growth, improving economic conditions, loose fiscal policy, and uncertainty regarding further energy price regulations. Ultimately, the cap on household electricity prices was extended into Q4 of this year, and at the beginning of October, the Monetary Policy Council agreed on another rate cut, again by 25bp.

Loans and deposits

The credit market is gaining momentum – in July, the value of new consumer loans reached nearly PLN 13bn, and housing loans just under PLN 9.5bn. In August, sales of both products recorded a seasonal decline compared to July, but on average in the first two months of Q3 they were up 30% YoY and 42% YoY, respectively. This was supported by both a lower interest rate environment and a clear increase in real wages. Corporate credit activity remains stable, with around PLN 13bn in new loans granted monthly.

Total credit, adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations, slightly accelerated to 4.9% YoY in August, after 4.8% YoY in July. In particular, corporate loan volumes accelerated, growing by 9.2% YoY compared to 9.0% YoY a month earlier and 5.7% YoY in Q2. Total household loans, adjusted for exchange rates, rose by 3.8% YoY in August, with zloty-denominated consumer loans were up 7.0% YoY and mortgage loans up 6.9% YoY. The overall loan volume growth was still negatively affected by the gradual expiry of foreign currency loans.

Deposit growth remains in double digits. Total deposits rose by 10.9% YoY in August, after 10.6% in July and an average of 10.4% in Q2. The growth rate of demand deposits increased from 9.7% YoY to 11.0% YoY, particularly due to a rise in corporate deposit growth (10.3% YoY after 7.7% YoY in July). On the other hand, term deposits slowed down slightly, from 11.5% YoY in July to 9.8% YoY in August, compared to 10.0% YoY in Q2.

Financial markets

In the third quarter, sentiment on global financial markets was optimistic, supporting increases in equity prices on global exchanges and currency appreciation in emerging markets. This was driven, among other factors, by reduced concerns about the impact of tensions in global trade relations on major economies and rising expectations of interest rate cuts by the US Fed.

The EUR/PLN exchange rate remained remarkably stable, fluctuating within a narrow range of 4.24–4.28. The domestic currency showed strong resilience to successive rate cuts by the MPC, volatile macroeconomic data, news of deteriorating fiscal outlook, shifting expectations regarding a possible end to the war in Ukraine, and incidents involving airspace violations by Russian drones. On the other hand, these factors likely contributed to the Polish currency underperforming slightly compared to other Central and Eastern European currencies in Q3. Between the end of June and the end of September, the zloty weakened by around 1% against the euro, while the Czech koruna strengthened by 1.2% and the Hungarian forint by 1.9%.

The Polish bond market performed better in Q3 than most of its European counterparts, showing resilience to deteriorating fiscal prospects, which led Fitch and Moody's to downgrade Poland's rating outlook to negative. Yields on 2-year bonds declined, in line with expectations of further rate cuts by the MPC, while yields in the mid and long segments of the curve remained relatively stable, reflecting the global trend of yield curve steepening.

Comparability of periods

Discontinued and continuing operations

In relation to the agreement made by Banco Santander S.A. (Santander Group) and Erste Group Bank AG (Erste Group), as announced on 5 May 2025, regarding the sale of a 49% stake in Santander Bank Polska S.A. and a 50% stake in Santander Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych S.A. (Santander TFI), the operations of Banco Santander S.A. in Poland must be reorganised. It involves a change to the ownership structure of Santander Consumer Bank S.A., which, together with its subsidiaries, is part of Santander Bank Polska Group.

With the consent from the Bank's Management Board and Supervisory Board, on 16 June 2025 Santander Bank Polska S.A. signed a preliminary agreement with Santander Consumer Finance S.A. on the sale of 3,120k shares in Santander Consumer Bank S.A. representing 60% of the share capital and voting power for the total price of PLN 3,105m.

For the purpose of the transaction, on 13 June 2025 an independent fairness opinion was obtained regarding the financial terms of the potential transaction.

Closing of the transaction is subject to consents required by law (including KNF's approval) and fulfilment of other terms defined in the transaction documentation.

Starting from the consolidated financial statements for the 6-month period ended 30 June 2025, Santander Bank Polska Group treats Santander Consumer Bank S.A. and its subsidiaries as assets of the disposal group classified as held for sale and discontinued operations. According to the Bank's Management Board, the criteria of the above classification laid down in IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations have been met as follows:

  • The assets related to the activities of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. and its subsidiaries are available for immediate sale in their present condition.
  • Obtaining the required regulatory approvals, in particular the consent of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF), is highly probable.
  • The transaction is expected to be completed within 12 months.
  • The discontinued operations of Santander Consumer Bank Group form a separate material business segment of Santander Bank Polska Group held for sale. The business of this segment is primarily the sale of products and services to personal and business customers (including car loans, credit cards, cash loans, instalment loans and leases). The offer of this segment also includes term deposits and insurance products linked to credit facilities.

Similarly to the previous reporting period, the discontinued operations are presented in the income statement for the 9-month period ended 30 September 2025 separately from the continuing operations under "net profit (loss) for the period from discontinued operations", a line item which aggregates all profit components related to the group assets held for sale.

Due to the separation of the discontinued operations, the comparative data (for the nine months of 2024) were re-presented in the income statement for the 9-month period ended 30 September 2025 as if the operations were discontinued at the start of the comparative period.

The part of the business of Santander Bank Polska Group which is not intended for divestment represents continuing operations.

Determinants of consolidated net profit before tax from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2025

During the first nine months of 2025, Santander Bank Polska Group (excluding Santander Consumer Bank S.A. and its subsidiaries) reported a 5.3% YoY increase in net interest income from continuing operations despite a decline in net interest margin. Debt securities measured at amortised cost and home loans contributed most to the above growth, while variable-rate loans and excess liquidity investments in the banking market adversely affected this line item due to lower interest rates.

Net fee and commission income from continuing operations grew by 5.3% YoY, mainly due to the Group's activities in the stock, investment fund and currency markets in a favourable economic environment, which translated into higher net income from brokerage fees, distribution and asset management fees, and FX fees. Furthermore, during the first nine months of 2025 a noteworthy growth was reported in net income from guarantee fees, while net income from insurance and debit card fees increased moderately.

The consolidated profit before tax was also positively affected by other non-interest and non-fee income, which grew by 16.7% YoY due to net trading income and revaluation (+PLN 44.4m) and gain on derecognition of financial instruments measured at amortised cost (+PLN 18.6m), reflecting settlements with foreign currency mortgage loan borrowers.

Net expected credit loss allowances decreased by 31.7% YoY due to a high base in the comparative period, which reflected a PLN 124.5m increase in allowances resulting from the remeasurement triggered by changes in the criteria for identifying a significant increase in credit risk of retail and SME portfolios of Santander Bank Polska S.A. The risk profile of the Group's credit portfolios remains good and stable.

The Group's profitability was also positively impacted by lower costs of legal risk connected with foreign currency mortgage loans (-10.2% YoY).

On the other hand, the Group's profitability was reduced mainly by a 7.9% YoY increase in staff, general and administrative expenses, reflecting higher amounts payable to the Bank Guarantee Fund due to higher resolution fund contribution and reinstated guarantee fund contribution, as well as salary review and growing operating expenses in respect of third party services and use of IT systems.

Santander Bank Polska S.A. (parent entity of Santander Bank Polska Group)

The profit before tax of Santander Bank Polska S.A. was PLN 6,248.9m, up 10.9% YoY.

Changes to the components of the profit before tax earned by the Bank are presented below.

Year-on-year changes in the main items of the income statement of Santander Bank Polska S.A. for Q1-Q3 2025 in absolute numbers

Changes in the main components of the standalone profit reflect the trends relating to the consolidated profit. Similarly to the Group, the Bank's profit before tax was positively affected by: net interest income, net expected credit loss allowances, cost of legal risk connected with foreign currency mortgage loans, net fee and commission income, net trading income and revaluation, dividend income and gain on derecognition of financial instruments measured at amortised cost. The increases in the above-mentioned items were partly offset by a negative impact of changes in staff, general and administrative expenses, tax on financial institutions, amortisation/depreciation, other operating income and gain/loss on other financial instruments.

Subsidiaries

In the segment of continuing operations, the subsidiaries consolidated by Santander Bank Polska S.A. reported a profit before tax of PLN 276.4m, up 18.1% YoY on account of stronger performance of Santander Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych S.A. as well as leasing and factoring companies controlled by Santander Finanse Sp. z o.o.

Santander TFI S.A.

The profit before tax of Santander TFI S.A. for the first three quarters of 2025 increased by 23.6% YoY to PLN 129.3m, as a result of 16.2% YoY higher net fee and commission income. Asset management fees, the main contributor, grew YoY along with a rise in the average assets under management, reflecting a positive change in the value of investment fund units and sound net sales of investment funds. Another growth driver was a slight margin increase resulting from a higher management fee introduced on 1 March 2025 in relation to two short-term debt sub-funds and Santander Prestiż Calm Investment, whose combined assets accounted for more than 40% of total net assets managed by Santander TFI S.A. Meanwhile, net income from success fees went down, as an effect of a high base resulting from solid rates of return generated by the funds last year. The company also reduced its staff, general and administrative expenses due to staff downsizing and the release of an unused portion of the bonus accrual.

Companies controlled by Santander Finanse sp. z o.o.

Profit before tax posted by companies controlled by Santander Finanse Sp. z o.o. went up by 14.7% YoY to PLN 147.0m.

  • Total profit before tax of Santander Leasing S.A., Santander Finanse Sp. z o.o. and Santander F24 S.A. for the nine months of 2025 grew by 27.7% YoY to PLN 101.4m. Strong sales generated during the three quarters of 2025 triggered an increase in lease receivables (+9.1% YoY), net interest income (+11.0% YoY) and net insurance income (+9.0% YoY). Another contributing factor was a decrease in the negative balance of net expected credit loss allowances (-21.8% YoY). The quality of the lease portfolio remained high, with the NPL ratio of 3.59% (-0.24 p.p. YoY). The positive financial impact of the above trends was partly offset by higher costs of synthetic securitisation resulting from a new project launched in December 2024.
  • The profit before tax posted by Santander Factoring Sp. z o.o. decreased by 6.7% YoY to PLN 45.6m, reflecting net allowances made in Q3 2025 and YoY increase in the negative value of net fee and commission income resulting from higher costs related to guarantee agreements. Furthermore, during the three quarters of 2025 the company reported a YoY increase in operating expenses on account of higher staff expenses (annual salary review), higher general and administrative expenses (legal services) and amortisation of intangibles (software investments). During the nine months of 2025, the company increased its net interest income up 6.7% YoY on account of the growing factoring receivables portfolio.

Discontinued operations related to SCB Group

The profit before tax from discontinued operations (i.e. Santander Consumer Bank Group classified as disposal group assets held for sale) for the 9-month period ended 30 September 2025 was PLN 360.7m and increased by PLN 352.4m as a combined effect of:

  • A 12.0% YoY increase in net interest income to PLN 1,321.9m driven by growth of the credit portfolio and favourable changes in its structure (a higher share of high-margin products).
  • A 27.1% YoY decrease in net fee and commission income to PLN 70.3m resulting from higher costs of securitisation.
  • A 45.2% YoY rise in other non-interest and non-fee income to PLN 63.3m on account of higher other operating income, which offset a decrease in the gain on derecognition of financial instruments measured at amortised cost as well as net trading income and gain on other financial instruments.
  • A 8.9% YoY increase in negative balance of net expected credit loss allowances to PLN 288.2m, caused mainly by the modification of the model for identification of a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) of credit exposures, resulting in an additional allowance. During the three quarters of 2025, Santander Consumer Bank Group sold credit receivables of PLN 264.9m at a profit before tax of PLN 55.7m. Last year, it sold the portfolio of PLN 408.1m at a profit before tax of PLN 50.3m.
  • An 11.4% YoY increase in operating expenses to PLN 513.1m due to higher general and administrative expenses and revision of provisions for legal claims in other operating expenses.
  • Cost of legal risk connected with foreign currency mortgage loans was revised to PLN 261.1m (-53.2% YoY).

Structure of Santander Bank Polska Group's profit before tax

Total income

Total income from continuing operations earned by Santander Bank Polska Group for the 9-month period ended 30 September 2025 increased by 5.5% YoY to PLN 12,008.2m.

Net interest income

In the segment of continuing operations, net interest income for the three quarters of 2025 totalled PLN 9,549.0m and was up 5.3% YoY as a result of higher business volumes generated in an economic environment conducive to monetary policy easing. During the first nine months of 2025, the Monetary Policy Council cut NBP rates three times by 100 b.p. in total. As a result, the reference rate in September 2025 was 4.75%.

The Group's interest income for the nine months of 2025 totalled PLN 12,996.6m and was up 5.9% YoY, mainly supported by debt securities portfolios and loans and advances to personal customers and IRS hedging transactions.

Meanwhile, interest expense grew by 7.4% YoY to PLN 3,447.6m on account of the Group's main liabilities portfolios, in particular deposits from enterprises, subordinated liabilities and liabilities in respect of debt securities in issue and repurchase transactions.

The net interest margin of Santander Bank Polska Group on continuing operations annualised on a quarterly basis decreased by 0.29 p.p. YoY (from 5.17% in Q3 2024 to 4.88% in Q3 2025) and was stable QoQ (-0.01 p.p.).

The corresponding margin on continuing and discontinued operations was 5.03% in Q3 2025, down 0.34 p.p. YoY and stable QoQ (-0.01 p.p.).

1) The calculation of the net interest margin of Santander Bank Polska S.A. takes account of swap points allocation from derivative instruments used for the purpose of liquidity management but excludes interest income from the portfolio of debt securities held for trading and other exposures connected with trading.

The net interest margin from continuing operations annualised on a Ytd basis was 4.91%, down 0.25 p.p. YoY on a comparative basis (excluding the impact of so–called payment holidays charged to Q2 2024).

The corresponding net interest margin from continuing and discontinued operations was 5.09% and decreased to the extent comparable to the margin calculated for the Group in its to-date composition.

This decline originated in the period of growth of the Group's key business volumes and reflects the expected evolution of market interest rates and adjustment measures taken by the Group (including the management of prices of assets and liabilities) and the negative impact of the variable-rate loan portfolio.

On a comparative basis (i.e. taking into account Santander Consumer Bank Group classified as assets held for sale), the finance lease receivables of Santander Bank Polska Group increased by 8.7% YoY, loans and advances to enterprises and the public sector were up 5.0% YoY, and loans and advances to personal customers grew by 4.7% YoY. The comparative carrying amount of debt investment financial assets measured at amortised cost increased by 47.9%. At the same time, comparative deposits from individuals and from enterprises and the public sector grew dynamically by 6.8% YoY and 12.3% YoY, respectively (both term deposits and current account balances). The above assets and deposits increased on a quarterly basis too.

Net fee & commission income structure in Q1-Q3 2024 from continuing operations

Net fee & commission income from continuing operations by quarter over a 9-month period ended 30.09.2024 and 30.09.2025

Net fee and commission income after the three quarters of 2025 was PLN 2,196.7m and increased by 5.3% YoY on account of the Group's diversified operations, including activities in the investment fund, stock and foreign exchange markets, with higher rates of return generated in the reporting period.

The key changes to net fee and commission income items were as follows:

  • Net FX fee income increased by 5.7% YoY mainly on account of higher FX transaction turnover in the electronic channel, accompanied by a slight increase in average quotations.
  • Net fee and commission income from distribution and asset management grew by 18.2% YoY on account of higher income from fees collected by Santander TFI S.A. for fund asset management, resulting from a higher average value of net assets driven by solid sales growth and a positive change in the value of fund units. Income from asset management fees was also supported by a margin increase resulting from a higher management fee introduced on 1 March 2025 in relation to two short-term debt sub-funds and Santander Prestiż Calm Investment, whose combined assets accounted for more than 40% of total net assets managed by Santander TFI S.A.
  • A 4.8% YoY increase was reported under the insurance line item, reflecting higher net income from insurance activities of Santander Leasing S.A. and lower commission expenses incurred by Santander Bank Polska S.A. in relation to the insurance of the legacy mortgage portfolio. At the same time, the Bank posted higher YoY net fee income from the life and health insurance (Życie i zdrowie), and from the home insurance (Locum Comfort), key products not linked to standard banking products offered by the Bank.
  • A 20.7% YoY rise was reported in net income from brokerage activities, mainly reflecting more favourable trends in the global capital markets. The economic situation in Poland (return to the growth path) was conducive to an increased activity of foreign investors on the WSE. Trading volumes of Polish retail investors, including the customers of Santander Brokerage Poland, were satisfactory too. They were supported by an increased volatility in April caused by political and macroeconomic developments as well as record high levels of WIG in Q2 and Q3.
  • Net fee and commission income from guarantees and sureties was up 15.9% YoY, as a combined effect of higher income from guarantee activities and higher costs related to new securitisation projects launched by Santander Leasing S.A. in 2024.
  • Credit fees declined by 6.8% YoY due to an increase in costs of credit agency (arising from extension of the cooperation with the network of agents) exceeding a rise in fee and commission income from customer finance.
  • Other changes in net fee and commission income reflected standard business operations.

Non-interest and non-fee income

Non-interest and non-fee income of Santander Bank Polska Group from continuing operations presented above totalled PLN 262.5m and was up 16.7% YoY on account of changes in the following components:

  • Net trading income and revaluation increased by PLN 44.4m YoY to PLN 193.5m, reflecting a rise of PLN 57.3m YoY to PLN 157.9m in the total gain on trading in debt and equity financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss on account of an increased market-making activity of Santander Brokerage Poland in relation to equity instruments. A gain on transactions in derivative and FX markets decreased from PLN 48.1m for the three quarters of 2024 to PLN 35.0m for the three quarters of 2025. The weaker result on trading in derivatives was largely offset by a higher gain on transactions used by the Bank to manage FX liquidity.
  • A gain on other financial instruments totalled PLN 10.4m and was down PLN 9.4m YoY on account of a lower gain on hedging and hedged instruments (-PLN 12.9m YoY), combined with a PLN 3.4m increase in a gain on the sale of debt investment financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (mainly treasury bonds).
  • Dividend income totalled PLN 15.9m and was up 29.3% YoY, mainly on account of dividends from Biuro Informacji Kredytowej S.A. and Krajowa Izba Rozliczeniowa S.A.

  • The Group reported a loss of PLN 21.6m on derecognition of financial instruments measured at amortised cost vs a loss of PLN 40.2m in the corresponding period last year. This line item includes mainly the financial result of voluntary settlements with CHF home loan borrowers, which brought in a loss of PLN 23.0m during the first nine months of 2025 (down PLN 20.7m YoY). Since the start of 2025, Santander Bank Polska S.A. has made 1,895 settlements, both pre-court and post-court. As part of the settlement, the loan is converted to PLN and/or a method is determined to settle the liabilities arising from the loan agreement. The settlement terms are individually negotiated with customers.
  • Other operating income was PLN 64.3m and fell by 23.5% YoY due to the release of lower amounts of provisions for legal claims and other assets.

The charge made by Santander Bank Polska Group to the income statement for the three quarters of 2025 on account of net expected credit loss allowances related to continuing operations was PLN 439.5m, down 31.7% YoY.

The decrease in net impairment allowances for the credit portfolio is mainly an effect of a high base in the comparative period resulting from the modification of the criteria for identification of a significant increase in credit risk at Santander Bank Polska S.A. The new criteria were implemented in Q2 2024 in relation to retail and SME portfolios, resulting in the classification of PLN 7.0bn worth of loans and advances to stage 2 and a rise of PLN 124.5m in expected credit loss allowances.

The lower level of net expected credit loss allowances is also attributed to positive economic trends which positively affect the condition of the credit portfolios and revision parameters. No significant one-off items affecting the level of allowances were reported in Q3 2025.

The cost of credit risk related to the continuing operations of Santander Bank Polska Group was 0.33% as at 30 September 2025 (on a cumulative basis) and was stable QoQ. Taking into account Santander Consumer Bank Group, the consolidated cost of credit risk related to the continuing and discontinued operations was 0.45% and 0.69% in the corresponding period last year.

During the first nine months of 2025, Santander Bank Polska S.A. sold credit receivables of PLN 1,014.2m, at a profit before tax of PLN 92.3m. In the same period last year, the Bank sold credit receivables of PLN 589.4m, generating a profit before tax of PLN 99.7m.

The Group steadily monitors its credit portfolio and the impact of the current macroeconomic and geopolitical situation on risk levels, adjusting credit ratings and classification of exposures to individual stages accordingly. The quality of credit portfolios is considered to be good and the key risk indicators are stable.

Total costs

Total costs (PLN m) Q1–Q3 2025 Q1–Q3 2024 Change YoY
Staff, general and administrative expenses, of which: (3,099.3) (2,872.5) 7.9%
- Staff expenses (1,681.6) (1,597.9) 5.2%
- General and administrative expenses (1,417.7) (1,274.6) 11.2%

Other operating expenses (69.2) (76.7) -9.8%
Total costs (3,607.9) (3,351.9) 7.6%

During the first nine months of 2025, total operating expenses of Santander Bank Polska Group related to continuing operations increased by 7.6% YoY to PLN 3,607.9m on account of inflation, salary review, higher contributions to the Bank Guarantee Fund, higher costs of third party services and IT systems as well as increased depreciation/ amortisation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

As total costs grew by 7.6% YoY and total income by 5.5% YoY, the cost to income ratio related to continuing operations increased slightly from 29.5% for the nine months of 2024 to 30.0% in the same period of 2025. The corresponding ratios for the Bank were 28.7% i 29.4%, respectively.

Total operating expenses related to continuing and discontinued operations were PLN 4,120.9m and increased by 8.1% YoY, including a 7.5% YoY rise in staff, general and administrative expenses to PLN 3,469.3m. The consolidated cost to income ratio (including Santander Consumer Bank Group) was 30.6% vs 30.0% in the comparative period.

Staff expenses

During the first nine months of 2025, staff expenses related to continuing operations totalled PLN 1,681.6m and increased by 5.2% YoY. The average employment was relatively stable in both periods. The main components of staff expenses, i.e. salaries, bonuses and statutory deductions from salaries, went up by 5.4% YoY to PLN 1,624.0m on account of the salary review and higher accruals for employee bonuses. The costs related to the Group's longterm share-based incentive plan (Incentive Plan VII) were PLN 58.2m vs PLN 70.1m last year.

General and administrative expenses

During the first nine months of 2025, general and administrative expenses related to continuing operations increased by 11.2% YoY to PLN 1,417.7m.

Amounts payable to market regulators (BFG, KNF and KDPW) totalled PLN 370.3m and were up 39.8% YoY due to the reinstatement (after two years) of a quarterly contribution to the BFG guarantee fund totalling PLN 63.0m after the three quarters and recognition of 16.5% YoY higher annual contribution to the BFG bank resolution fund, which totalled PLN 271.4m in accordance with the BFG Council's resolution of 21 March 2025. Total contributions made by the Group to the BFG were PLN 334.4m, up 43.5% YoY.

Excluding the mandatory contributions to the BFG, the Group's general and administrative expenses increased by 4.0% YoY, mainly on account of higher cost of IT systems, consultancy and advisory services, other third party services, and marketing and entertainment.

  • The cost of IT systems went up by 5.0% YoY as a result of licence fees, infrastructure and software support costs and multiple projects.
  • Consultancy and advisory fees rose by 16.1% YoY, reflecting higher costs of legal services and support for projects delivered by the Group (including the ones related to ESG regulatory requirements).
  • The costs of other third party services were up 9.3% YoY due to, among other things, the outsourcing of banking operations which used to be performed in-house and generated costs in other line items (payment handling, ATM maintenance, alerts, AML/CFT processes).
  • Costs of marketing and entertainment increased by 5.6% YoY in alignment with frequency and intensity of marketing campaigns.
  • Postal fees and telecommunications fees were up 14.4% YoY due to higher cost of services related to letters and text messages.

In the case of outsourced ATM maintenance services, the increase in the costs of third party services was accompanied by a reduction in the costs of cars, transport and cash-in-transit services (-27.6% YoY). A clear decrease was also reported in the costs of maintenance of premises (-6.8% YoY) and in the costs of short-term leases (-21.8% YoY) resulting from optimisation of the branch network. Savings were also generated under a new power purchase contract.

Tax and other charges

Tax on financial institutions in the segment of continuing operations totalled PLN 620.5m for the nine months of 2025 and was up 8.0% YoY, reflecting a YoY increase in assets (including loans and advances) and a YoY rise in the portfolio of treasury securities lowering the tax base.

Corporate income tax on continuing operations was PLN 1,495.4m and effectively lower (decrease from 24.3% for the three quarters of 2024 to 23.2% for the three quarters of 2025) as a result of a 11.3% increase in profit before tax and a rise in contributions to the BFG and in tax on financial institutions, offset by a decrease in costs of legal risk connected with foreign currency mortgage loans.

Corporate income tax on discontinued operations was PLN 490.3m. The tax includes a deferred tax liability arising from the difference between the carrying amount and the tax base of the shares of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. held for sale. In relation to the sale of shares in SCB S.A., the tax deductible acquisition cost was set on the basis of the share exchange. As a result, the nominal value of own shares issued at the time of the acquisition was taken as the acquisition cost for the purpose of determining the taxable income from the sale of shares in SCB S.A.

2. Consolidated statement of financial position

Consolidated assets

As at 30 September 2025, the total assets of Santander Bank Polska Group were PLN 317,448.6m, up 9.1% YoY and 4.3% Ytd, mainly on account of loans and advances to customers and investment financial assets. The value and structure of the Group's financial position is determined by the parent entity, which held 90.0% of the consolidated total assets vs 90.7% as at the end of December 2024 and 90.8% as at the end of September 2024.

  • 5) Column 2 presents individual asset classes as at 30 September 2025 in line with IFRS 5, i.e. after separating assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale.

As mentioned in the previous section of this report, in the current reporting period the assets related to the activities of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. and its subsidiaries were presented separately in the statement of financial position included in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Santander Bank Polska Group for the 9-month period ended 30 September 2025, and data for the comparative periods were not re-presented. The separated assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale account for 8.8% of the total consolidated assets of Santander Bank Polska Group.

For analytical purposes, Column 1 of the above condensed statement of financial position as at 30 September 2025 presents pro forma data in the format applied in the previous reporting periods.

On a comparative basis, net loans and advances to customers increased by 3.7% Ytd along with a rise in loans to personal customers, enterprises and the public sector, and in lease receivables. The carrying amount of investment financial assets went up by 10.7% in the same period, supported by continued growth in investments in treasury bonds, which have the biggest share in the Group's portfolio of investment securities. During the first nine months of 2025, financial assets held for trading and hedging derivatives increased by 40.4%, reflecting the Group's activity in terms of IRS swaps and transactions in treasury debt securities (mainly bonds) in the trading book.

Meanwhile, loans and advances to banks decreased by 57.2% on account of a lower value of interbank loans and deposits with tenors exceeding three months which are used by the Group to manage current liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by 10.8% due to lower loans and advances to banks and debt investment financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income with an original maturity of up to three months.

Since 31 March 2025, a presentation change has been made to the consolidated financial statements of Santander Bank Polska Group, namely financial assets with original maturity of up to three months that used to be disclosed under loans and advances to banks and debt investment securities (NBP bills) have been presented separately under cash and cash equivalents together with assets that used to be disclosed under cash and balances with central banks. The comparative periods have been restated accordingly too.

FX structure of consolidated loans and advances to customers as at 30.09.2025 r. excl. SCB Group

On a comparative basis, i.e. taking into account the assets related to the operations of Santander Consumer Bank Group, the consolidated gross loans and advances to customers increased by 3.8% Ytd.

The section below presents the Group's credit exposures by key portfolios in terms of customer segments and products:

  • → Loans and advances to individuals grew by 4.2% during the first nine months of 2025. Home loans of Santander Bank Polska S.A., which were the main contributor to this figure, totalled PLN 56,049.1m as at 30 September 2025 and were up 2.7% due to a moderate demand for this product. Meanwhile, home loans of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. totalled PLN 1,338.1m and continued to decline as a result of the portfolio phase-out, following the bank's withdrawal from an active sale of that product several years ago. Cash loans were the second largest item of loans and advances to customers. The cash loan portfolio of Santander Bank Polska S.A. totalled PLN 18,977.8m and increased by 5.4% due to a high base at the end of December 2024 supported by dynamic sales driven by macroeconomic factors. The cash loan portfolio of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. grew by 12.9% to PLN 8,603.3m on account of record high sales, including via remote channels.
  • Loans and advances to enterprises and the public sector (including factoring receivables) went up by 2.8%, mainly supported by higher exposures in respect of term loans granted to customers of the Business and Corporate Banking segment.

  • → Finance lease receivables of Santander Bank Polska Group (excl. SCB Group) rose by 2.0% to PLN 11,061.8m, supported by sales of machines and equipment. Lease receivables of SCB Group were PLN 4,973.5m and increased by 15.7% due to a high supply of cars.

Credit quality ratios by quarter in 2024and 2025 (from continuing and discontinued operations)

As at 30 September 2025, the NPL ratio of Santander Bank Polska Group (including Santander Consumer Bank Group) was 4.3% and the provision coverage ratio for impaired loans was 52.3% (vs 4.4% and 51.0% as at the end of December 2024, respectively).

2) Other liabilities include lease liabilities, current tax liabilities, deferred tax liabilities, provisions for financial and guarantee liabilities, other provisions and other liabilities.

3) Column 1 shows individual liability classes on a pro forma comparative basis as at 30 September 2025, which is in line with the presentation of balance sheet data as at 31 December 2024 and 30 September 2024 according to the full consolidation approach (without recognising liabilities directly related to assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale).

4) Column 2 presents individual liability classes as at 30 September 2025 in line with IFRS 5, i.e. after separating liabilities directly related to assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale.

In the reporting and comparative periods, deposits from customers were the largest constituent item of the Group's total equity and liabilities and the main source of funding for the Group's assets. They increased by 2.5% Ytd on a comparative basis, as a result of a significant inflow of funds to current accounts of personal customers (including savings accounts) and term deposit accounts of business customers.

On a comparative basis, deposits from banks and sale and repurchase agreements went up by 27.7% Ytd on account of deposits from banks of Santander Consumer Bank Group and sale and repurchase agreements of Santander Bank Polska S.A. The balance of financial liabilities held for trading and hedging derivatives rose by 14.9% Ytd, reflecting the activity of Santander Bank Polska S.A. in the derivatives market (notably interest rate hedging transactions).

An increase was also reported in the comparative balance of subordinated liabilities and debt securities in issue (+9.8% Ytd), which is attributed to bond issues.

During the first nine months of 2025, Santander Bank Polska Group made the following issues, using the proceeds to finance working capital needs:

  • Santander Factoring Sp. z o.o. issued six series of bonds guaranteed by the Bank:
  • 19 February 2025: PLN 507m worth of series A25 variable-rate bonds with a maturity date of 19 August 2025;
  • 23 April 2025: PLN 185m worth of series B25 variable-rate bonds with a maturity date of 23 October 2025;
  • 23 June 2025: PLN 364m worth of series C25 variable-rate bonds with a maturity date of 23 December 2025;
  • 19 August 2025: PLN 850m worth of series D25 variable-rate bonds with a maturity date of 19 February 2026;
  • 20 August 2025: PLN 300m worth of series E25 variable-rate bonds with a maturity date of 19 February 2026;
  • 3 September 2025: PLN 100m worth of series F25 variable-rate bonds with a maturity date of 3 September 2026.
  • Santander Leasing S.A. issued three series of bonds with a put option:
  • 19 March 2025: PLN 100m worth of series T variable-rate bonds with a maturity date of 19 March 2026;
  • 4 April 2025: PLN 240m worth of series U variable-rate bonds with a maturity date of 4 April 2026.
  • 24 July 2025: PLN 600m worth of series V variable-rate bonds with a maturity date of 24 July 2026.
  • As part of a synthetic securitisation of a corporate loan portfolio, on 26 June 2025 the Bank issued CLNs with a nominal value of PLN 320m and a maturity date of 31 March 2036. The Bank has the option of earlier repayment of its obligations under the CLNs. On 26 June 2025, the CLNs were introduced to trading in the alternative trading system on the Vienna MTF organised by Wiener Börse AG (Vienna Stock Exchange).
  • On 24 June 2025, Santander Consumer Bank S.A. and Santander Consumer Multirent Sp. z o.o. issued the next tranche of two-year variable-rate bonds of PLN 400m as part of the joint issue programme. The tranche was taken up in full by financial entities.

1) Column 1 presents deposits from customers on a pro forma comparative basis, i.e. taking into account Santander Consumer Bank Group. Column 2 does not include such deposits due to their presentation as a separate line item according to IFRS 5: liabilities directly related to assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale.

As at 30 September 2025, the Group's comparative deposits from customers increased by 2.5% Ytd as a result of higher balances in current accounts (including savings accounts) and term deposit accounts.

In terms of customer segments, changes in deposits were as follows:

  • Deposits from individuals went up by 4.0% Ytd driven by inflows into current and savings accounts (+6.9%), with a concurrent slight decline in term deposits (-0.9%).
  • Deposits from enterprises and the public sector were up 0.6%, reflecting a 7.8% rise in term deposits and a 3.0% decline in current account balances. Deposits from enterprises comprise loans and advances from financial institutions, including loans granted by the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) to finance the lending activity of the Bank and its subsidiaries. The decrease in the above line (-7.4%) results from scheduled loan repayments by Santander Bank Polska S.A. and Santander Leasing S.A., and an agreement concluded by Santander Consumer Bank S.A. with the EBRD to increase and extend the loan for renewable energy projects for another five years. The loan amount is an equivalent of EUR 41m.

Deposits by tenors

4. Factors which may affect the financial results in the next quarter

The following external factors may significantly affect the financial results and the operations of Santander Bank Polska Group in the next quarter:

  • Economic policy of the new US administration (including trade tariffs, migration, and deregulation).
  • Scale and pace of potential further interest rate cuts by major central banks.
  • Persistent uncertainty about economic prospects, hindering recovery in the euro area and resulting in relatively weak foreign demand for Polish goods and services.
  • Possible changes in the US approach to the conflict in Ukraine, relations with Europe and China, generating economic and financial market tensions.
  • The war between Russia and Ukraine, impact of sanctions and international trade restrictions. Potential increases in the case of cessation of hostilities. Possible disruptions in energy supply chains. Increased defence spending in Poland.
  • Possible escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, with potential impact on prices of crude oil and natural gas and on global risk aversion.
  • Further path of inflation in Poland impacting the market pricing of NBP rate changes.
  • Further MPC decisions on interest rates. Balance sheet reduction by the NBP.
  • Foreign currency loans: banks' decisions on settlements with customers and further litigation.
  • Potential new government programmes supporting the financial accessibility of housing.
  • Possible changes in tax law to increase budget revenues, affecting banking sector performance, consumer sentiment and business outlook.
  • Changes in the valuation of credit risk in financial markets, also influenced by changes in the assessment of geopolitical risk.
  • Changes in bond yields depending on monetary and fiscal policy expectations.
  • Changes in the demand for credit in the context of liquidity, still high interest rates, the impact of the war and quick rise of housing prices in Poland in recent quarters.
  • Changes in the financial situation of households influenced by labour market trends and benefits received.
  • Changes in customers' savings allocation decisions influenced by expected returns on various asset classes and changes in attitudes towards saving and spending.
  • Further developments in global equity markets and their impact on demand for investment fund units and shares.
  • Scale of fund use under the current EU financial framework and the National Recovery Plan.

VI. Risk management

Risk management priorities in Q3 2025

Geopolitical and macroeconomic situation

In Q3 2025, the macroeconomic conditions were still favourable. The situation of retail customers was stable, as their income levels let them securely repay their credit liabilities. The situation of business customers was more complex, though. While moderate investment activity supported by continuously high interest rates did not significantly increase loan balances, the labour cost pressure, weak exports growth and strong zloty adversely affected the profitability of businesses.

In Q3 2025, the Bank regularly monitored the potential impact of increased uncertainty and deglobalisation risk on individual customer segments and economic sectors in order to ensure prompt and adequate response and duly align the credit policy parameters. Stress tests and sensitivity analyses focused in particular on assessing the impact of such factors as interest rates, exchange rates, exports, labour costs and energy prices on the quality of the credit portfolios. The Bank also monitors sectors which are particularly susceptible to economic downturns such as the transport and automotive sectors. At the same time, the Bank continues to reduce consumer credit risk and actively adjusts its risk appetite related to SME financing. The Bank also monitors the factors directly related to the geopolitical situation, i.e. sanctions and restriction of operations of business customers on the territory of armed conflicts. In addition, the Bank keeps track of legislative changes that may significantly affect the situation in individual sectors and takes adequate proactive measures in relation to the credit portfolio.

The Bank regularly reviews ECL parameter models, taking into account the latest macroeconomic projections and using in-house predictive models based on historical observations of relationships between macroeconomic variables and risk parameters. ECL parameters were updated in Q2 2025 to account for the impact of the geopolitical environment on the current economic situation and macroeconomic projections.

Furthermore, as part of standard ongoing monitoring, the Bank assessed the impact of the geopolitical factors on borrowers through individual reviews, analysis of macroeconomic indicators, monitoring of behavioural models (including transactional patterns), analysis of trends in individual economic sectors and comprehensive management information.

Market risk

In Q3 2025, the Group continued its strategy to maintain low sensitivity of net interest income to interest rate movements in response to the regulatory limit, i.e. NII SOT at max 5% of Tier 1 capital.

ESG risks

The Group implemented a standardised and systemic solution for analysing ESG risk of medium-sized companies in order to fully use all available data to assess inherent risk and optimise residual risk assessment as part of cooperation with customers.

Greenwashing is becoming increasingly prevalent and taking new forms, prompting the implementation of new legal and regulatory measures. In view of the above and the new regulations of the European Union and the European Banking Authority, the Bank has implemented the Guidelines for greenwashing risk management and control, an internal regulation covering all processes that may be affected by such risk, from strategy definition to products and services to communication.

The Group is working on adapting the ESG risk management processes and procedures in line with the requirements arising from the EBA's Final Guidelines on the management of ESG risks. The scope of the ESG materiality analysis is being extended, particularly in terms of potential impact on natural resources and channels of transmission to non-credit risks.

Cybersecurity

The importance of cybersecurity has been steadily growing because of the increasing digitalisation of the banking sector and dynamic technological development. The geopolitical situation did not improve during the first three quarters of 2025. On the contrary, it was a period of increased tensions. That is why the risk of targeted attacks made by well-structured, disciplined and sophisticated hacker groups was monitored on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, as the conflicts intensify, scenarios with a potential impact on the organisation's security were analysed. The risk connected with the consequences of attacks was regularly analysed and relevant measures were taken where justified.

Disinformation campaigns aimed to destabilise the financial sector were subject to close monitoring. The Group took measures to build awareness among employees and customers, e.g. by issuing security warnings about emerging threats, and running numerous educational campaigns.

Particular focus was placed on the risk of DDoS attacks, supply chain attacks, application attacks, malware, unauthorised transactions and attacks against customers and employees with the use of social engineering.

The growing importance of artificial intelligence technologies has become a key issue, both in terms of their use by attackers and their potential as control mechanisms that can facilitate risk and cybersecurity management. Therefore, the Bank's priority is to raise the employees' and customers' awareness of AI-driven attacks, particularly of technologies used for impersonation.

The Bank is currently implementing the requirements of the EU AI Act setting out rules for development, implementation and use of artificial intelligence in the EU.

Material risk factors expected in the future

Macroeconomic situation

GDP growth projections for 2025 are cautiously optimistic (above 3%). The economic growth is driven mainly by an increasing purchasing and saving power of consumers. Investments should continue to rise too, although the use of funds from the National Recovery Plan is lower than expected. Meanwhile, lower exports, strong zloty, rising labour costs and limited possibility to transfer higher costs to consumers will weigh down on the performance of businesses, except for the services sector.

This may put pressure on the quality of credit portfolios of companies from the manufacturing and freight transport sectors, in particular the highly leveraged ones (insignificant share of the Bank's loan book). Exports are yet another sensitivity area due to their large share in GDP, with a particular focus placed on the growth rate and the impact of the zloty appreciation.

Increased market uncertainty and growing risk of deglobalisation (or even turmoil in the international trade) are major concerns. As a result, the risk of the entire credit portfolio, and the business customer portfolio in particular, has been increasing. The Bank mitigates that risk through the active management of concentration policy and selective approach to financing.

Public finance is another major concern, in particular fiscal deficits (which are likely to remain high) and rapid growth of public debt in the coming years. It may lead to rating downgrades (in September, Fitch and Moody's revised the outlook of Poland's rating from stable to negative) and the loss of confidence of financial market investors. It is important, among other things, in the context of high (and still growing) exposure of the banking sector to treasury securities.

ESG risks

High energy prices represent a risk whose consequences are hard to predict. It may have a critical impact on the economy over the next few years, particularly as firms bear the burden of high energy costs. It is all the more concerning given the insufficient progress made so far, particularly in the case of transmission grids and adaptation of the system to dynamically developing renewable energy sources. As a consequence, the output electricity is not utilised in full, especially by photovoltaic farms (even though they are formally connected to grids).

Cyber threats

Cyber risk and risk related to modern digital technology have been the top concerns for many years. This relates both to human behaviour and technology. The following threats still prevail: the loss or theft of sensitive data, disruption of key services, attacks against customer assets, frauds and unauthorised transactions. They result from the dynamic growth of modern IT technologies and digital transformation.

There is still a considerable risk of ransomware attacks, DDoS attacks or use of social engineering. As expected, supply chain attacks, mobile malware attacks and cyber spying are a growing threat to cybersecurity. Other challenges include supplier risk management, cloud computing and shadow IT.

AI-driven attacks have been steadily increasing. Easy access to tools that make it possible to impersonate other people or generate legitimately-looking materials to spread disinformation is and will be a challenge for the banking sector.

Apart from the obvious benefits, the growing use of AI at the Bank generates new risks that must be addressed accordingly. To mitigate them, the Bank has been implementing the requirements arising from the AI Act. Due to the geopolitical situation connected with the war in Ukraine, the Group will still focus on the risk of targeted attacks made by well-structured, disciplined and sophisticated hacker groups.

1. The owners of Santander Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych S.A. (Santander TFI S.A.), i.e. Santander Bank Polska S.A. and Banco Santander S.A., are members of global Santander Group and hold an equal stake of 50% in the company's share capital.

Santander Bank Polska S.A. exercises control over Santander TFI S.A. within the meaning of the International Financial Reporting Standard 10 (IFRS 10) because it has a practical ability to unilaterally direct the relevant activities of Santander TFI S.A. Furthermore, it significantly affects the company's operations and returns as the major business partner and distributor of investment products. At the same time, through its ownership interest, Santander Bank Polska S.A. is exposed and has right to variable returns generated by Santander TFI S.A.

Considering the guidance provided in IFRS 10 par. B18, the Bank's Management Board concluded that, having regard to legal requirements concerning Santander TFI S.A. and its operations, the Bank has a practical ability to unilaterally direct the relevant activities of Santander TFI S.A. even if it does not have a contractual right to do so.

The Bank can have a real impact on the composition of the Supervisory Board and through it – on the composition of the Management Board of Santander TFI S.A. and these governing bodies decide on the relevant activities of Santander TFI S.A. It should therefore be concluded that by having power and right to variable returns (benefits), the Bank has control over Santander TFI S.A. The planned sale of a stake in Santander Bank Polska S.A. by Banco Santander S.A. does not affect the Bank's judgment in this respect.

2 As a result of the formation of the automotive manufacturing corporation Stellantis N.V. in 2021 in a merger of the Italian–American conglomerate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the French Groupe PSA, on 3 April 2023 PSA Finance Polska Sp. z o.o. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PSA Consumer Finance Polska Sp. z o.o., were renamed Stellantis Financial Services Polska Sp. z o.o. and Stellantis Consumer Financial Services Polska Sp. z o.o., respectively. Stellantis Financial Services Polska Sp. z o.o. is a subsidiary undertaking for the purposes of consolidated financial reporting as it is controlled by Santander Consumer Bank S.A. (directly) and Santander Bank Polska S.A. (indirectly). Under the terms of the framework agreement, Santander Consumer Bank S.A.(SCB S.A.) has the right to make decisions regarding key areas such as financing and risk management. In practice, the Bank has ability to direct activities that significantly affect investment returns and is exposed to potential risks (losses) and benefits (dividends).

  1. SC Poland Consumer 23-1 Designated Activity Company (DAC) is a special purpose entity (SPE) incorporated in Dublin on 17 June 2022 for the purpose of securitising a part of the retail loan portfolio of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. (SCB S.A.) The SPE does not have any capital connections with SCB S.A., which nevertheless exercises control over the entity in accordance with IFRS 10.7. based on contractual rights. The combined stipulations of Servicing Agreement and Asset Transfer Agreement give SCB S.A. power over the management and operations of the SPE. In addition, the entity relies on SCB S.A. for access to financing and guarantees as well as technology, know-how and other resources, which further enhances the controlling power of the Bank.

  2. On 27 June 2025, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Santander Inwestycje Sp. z o.o. decided to start the liquidation of the company on 1 July 2025, appoint a liquidator and change the company's name to SPV XX04062025 (effective as of its registration in the National Court Register).

  3. As at 30 June 2025, and for the period between 1 January 2025 and 30 June 2025, the activities of SCB and its subsidiaries have been classified and presented in these statements as discontinued operations due to the planned divestment of those entities and fulfilment of the requirements arising from IFRS 5. Detailed information is presented in Note 29.

2. Basis of preparation of consolidated financial statements

2.1 Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group were prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 " Interim financial reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

The accounting principles were applied uniformly by individual units of the Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group. Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group applied the same accounting principles and calculation methods as in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended as at 31 December 2024, except for the income tax charge, which was calculated in accordance with the principles set out in IAS34.30c and changes in accounting standards p. 2.4. Santander Consumer Bank Group is presented in these financial statements as a disposal group and discontinued operations. The Group's data in the consolidated income statement for the 9-month period ended 30 September 2024 have been restated accordingly, while the data in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024 have not been restated – as required by IFRS 5. As a result, because of the transfer of a portion of assets and liabilities to assets/liabilities held for sale, the balance sheet data of Santander Bank Polska Group as at 31 December 2024 may not be comparable to the data as at 30 September 2025. For more information see Note 29 Discontinued operations.

2.2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

Presented consolidated condensed interim financial statement does not contain information and disclosures required in annual financial statement and should be read together with consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2024.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group companies will continue in nonsignificantly reduced scope as going concern in the foreseeable future, i.e. for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements were prepared. The sale of 60% of shares in Santander Consumer Bank to Santander Consumer Finance S.A., where Santander Consumer Bank S.A. has so far operated as a separate, relatively independent entity, according to the analysis of the Management Board of Santander Bank S.A., will not affect the ability of Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group to continue its operations also in the changed structure. Details regarding discontinued operations are presented in note 29.

Consolidated financial statements are presented in PLN, rounded to the nearest thousand.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 " Interim financial reporting" adopted by the European Union. Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group prepared consolidated financial statements in accordance with following measurement methods:

Item Balance sheet valuation rules
Held-for-trading financial instruments Fair value through profit or loss
Loans and advances to customers which meet the contractual cash flows test Amortized cost
Loans and advances to customers which do not meet the contractual cash
flows test
Fair value through profit or loss
Financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income
Fair value through other comprehensive income
Share-based payment transactions According to IFRS 2 "Share-based payment" requirements
Equity investment financial assets Fair value through other comprehensive income – an designation option
Equity financial assets-trading Fair value through profit or loss
Debt securities measured at fair value through profit or loss Fair value through profit or loss
Non-current assets The purchase price or production cost reduced by total depreciation
charges and total impairment losses
Right of use assets (IFRS 16) Initial measurement reduced by total depreciation charges and total
impairment losses
Non-current assets held for sale and groups of non-current assets
designated as held for sale
Are recognised at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value
less costs of disposal.

The accounting principles have been applied uniformly by all the entities forming Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group.

The same accounting principles were applied as in the case of the consolidated financial statements for the period ending 31 December 2024, except for changes in accounting standards p. 2.4, changes in the presentation of "Cash and cash equivalents" described in note 2.5, and discontinued operations described in note 29.

In the Group's view, such presentation is reliable and more relevant for readers of the statement of financial position as the total amount of cash and cash equivalents is directly indicated. It is also consistent with the guidelines of the IFRS Interpretations Committee and requirements of IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The foregoing changes in the accounting policies made it necessary to restate the comparative data but did not affect the Group's total assets, net profit or equity. The changes also had no effect on the value of cash and cash equivalents presented in the cash flow statement.

The impact of the above change on the published consolidated financial statements as at 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2024 is presented below.

Presentation of net interest income in the statement of cash flows

Changes were made to the presentation of net interest income. Previously, interest accrued on operating activities adjusted, among other things, the balance of financial assets/liabilities held for trading, hedging derivatives, loans and advances to banks, loans and advances to customers, deposits from banks and deposits from customers. Now, it is presented under a separate line item: Net interest income including accrued interest excluded from operating activities, with the latter item previously presented separately.

Such presentation is based on prevailing market practice and, in the Group's opinion, better reflects the nature of the above items in the statement of cash flows. The foregoing changes in the accounting policies made it necessary to restate the comparative data but did not affect the total net cash flows.

2.6 Use of estimates

Preparation of financial statement in accordance with the IFRS requires the management to make subjective judgements and assumptions, which affects the applied accounting principles as well as presented assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes to estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is changed if the change affects only that period, or in the period of the change and future periods if the change affects both current and future periods

Key accounting estimates made by Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group

Key estimates include:

  • Allowances for expected credit losses
  • Estimates for legal claims
  • Estimates of risk arising from mortgage loans in foreign currencies

Allowances for expected credit losses in respect of financial assets

The IFRS 9 approach is based on estimation of the expected credit loss (ECL). ECL allowances reflect an unbiased and probabilityweighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes, the time value of money; and reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. ECL allowances are measured at an amount equal to a 12-month ECL or the lifetime ECL, when it is deemed there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (Stage 2) or impairment (Stage 3). Accordingly, the ECL model gives rise to measurement uncertainty, especially in relation to:

  • measurement of a 12-month ECL or the lifetime ECL;
  • determination of whether/when a significant increase in credit risk occurred;
  • determination of any forward-looking information reflected in ECL estimation, and their likelihood.

As a result, ECL allowances are estimated using the adopted model developed using many inputs and statistical techniques. Structure of the models that are used for the purpose of ECL estimation consider models for the following parameters:

  • PD Probability of Default, i.e. the estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon (12-month or lifetime);
  • LGD Loss Given Default, i.e. the part of the exposure amount that would be lost in the event of default;
  • EAD Exposure at Default, i.e. expectation for the amount of exposure in case of default event in a given horizon 12-month or lifetime.

Changes in these estimates and the structure of the models may have a significant impact on ECL allowances.

In accordance with IFRS 9, the recognition of expected credit losses depends on changes in credit risk level which occur after initial recognition of the exposure. The standard defines three main stages for recognising expected credit losses:

  • Stage 1 exposures with no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, i.e. the likelihood of the exposure being downgraded to the impaired portfolio (Stage 3 exposures) has not increased. For such exposures, 12-month expected credit losses are recognised
  • Stage 2 exposures with a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, but with no objective evidence of impairment. For such exposures, lifetime expected credit losses are recognised.
  • Stage 3 exposures for which the risk of default has materialised (objective evidence of impairment has been identified). For such exposures, lifetime expected credit losses are recognised

For the purpose of the collective evaluation of ECL, financial assets are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics that indicate the debtors' ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms (for example, on the basis of the Group's credit risk evaluation or the rating process that considers asset type, industry, geographical location, collateral type, past-due status and other relevant factors). The characteristics chosen are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the debtors' ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated. The rating/scoring systems have been internally developed and are continually being enhanced, e.g through external analysis that helps to underpin the aforementioned factors which determine the estimates of impairment charges.

In the individual approach, the ECL charge was determined based on the calculation of the total probability-weighted impairment charges estimated for all the possible recovery scenarios, depending on the recovery strategy currently expected for the customer.

In the scenario analysis, the key strategies / scenarios used were as follows:

  • Recovery from the operating cash flows / refinancing / capital support;
  • Recovery through the voluntary realisation of collateral;
  • Recovery through debt enforcement;
  • Recovery through systemic bankruptcy/recovery proceeding/liquidation bankruptcy;
  • Recovery by take-over of the debt / assets / sale of receivables
  • Recovery as part of legal restructuring.

In addition, for exposures classified as POCI (purchased or originated credit impaired) - i.e. purchased or orginated financial assets that are impaired on initial recognition, expected credit losses are recognized over the remaining life horizon. Such an asset is created when impaired assets are initially recognized and the POCI classification is maintained over the life of the asset.

A credit-impaired assets

Credit-impaired assets are classified as Stage 3 or POCI. A financial asset or a group of financial assets are impaired if, and only if, there was objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset or asset was recognized as POCI and that impairment event (or events) had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that could be reliably estimated.

It may not be possible to identify a single event that caused the impairment, rather the combined effect of several events may have caused the impairment. Objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets was impaired includes observable data:

• significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;

  • a breach of contract, e.g. delay in repayment of interest or principal over 90 days in an amount exceeding the materiality threshold (PLN 400 for individual and small and medium-sized enterprises and PLN 2,000 for business and corporate clients) and at the same time relative thresholds (above 1% of the amount past due in relation to the balance sheet amount);
  • the Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group, for economic or legal reasons relating to the debtor's financial difficulty, granting to the debtor a concession that the Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group would not otherwise consider, which fulfil below criteria:
  • (1) restructuring transactions classified in the Stage 3 category (before restructuring decision),
  • (2) transactions restructured in the contingency period that meet the criteria for reclassification to the Stage 3 (quantitative and/or qualitative),
  • (3) transactions restructured during the contingency period previously classified as non-performing due to observed customer financial difficulties, have been restructured again or are more than 30 days past due,
  • (4) restructured transactions, where contractual clauses have been applied that defer payments through a grace period for repayment of the principal for a period longer than two years,
  • (5) restructured transactions including debt write-off, interest grace periods or repaid in installments without contractual interest,
  • (6) restructured transactions, where there was a decrease in the net present value of cash flows (NPV) of at least 1% compared to the NPV before the application of the forbearance measures,
  • (7) transactions where there is a repeated failure to comply with the established payment plan of previous forbearances that has led to successive forbearances of the same exposure (transaction),
  • (8) transactions where:
    • in inadequate repayment schedules were applied, which are related to, inter alia, repeated situations of noncompliance with the schedule, changes in the repayment schedule in order to avoid situations of noncompliance with it, or
    • a repayment schedule that is based on expectations, unsupported by macroeconomic forecasts or credible assumptions about the borrower's ability or willingness to repay was applied
  • (9) transactions for which the Group has reasonable doubts as to the probability of payment by the customer.
  • it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy, recovery proceedings, arrangement or other financial reorganisation;
  • the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

Impaired exposures (Stage 3) can be reclassified to Stage 2 or Stage 1 if the reasons for their classification to Stage 3 have ceased to apply (particularly if the borrower's economic and financial standing has improved) and a probation period has been completed (i.e. a period of good payment behaviour meaning the lack of arrears above 30 days), subject to the following:

  • In the case of individual customers, the probation period is 180 days.
  • In the case of SME customers, the probation period is 180 days, and assessment of the customer's financial standing and repayment capacity is required in some cases. However, the exposure cannot be reclassified to Stage 1 or 2 in the case of fraud, client`s death, discontinuation of business, bankruptcy, or pending restructuring/ liquidation proceedings.
  • In the case of business and corporate customers, the probation period is 92 days, and positive assessment of the financial standing is required (the Group assesses all remaining payments as likely to be repaid as scheduled in the agreement). The exposure cannot be reclassified to Stage 1 or 2 in the case of fraud, discontinuation of business, or pending restructuring/ insolvency/ liquidation proceedings.

Additionally, if the customer is in Stage 3 and subject to the forbearance process, they may be reclassified to Stage 2 not earlier than after 365 days (from the start of forbearance or from the downgrade to the NPL portfolio, whichever is later) of regular payments, repayment by the client of the amount previously overdue / written off (if any) and after finding that there are no concerns as to the further repayment of the entire debt in accordance with the agreed terms of restructuring.

A significant increases in credit risk

One of the key elements of IFRS 9 is the identification of a significant increase in credit risk which determines the classification to Stage 2. The Group has developed detailed criteria for the definition of a significant increase in credit risk based on the following main assumptions:

• Qualitative assumptions:

  • Implementing dedicated monitoring strategies for the customer following the identification of early warning signals that indicate a significant increase in credit risk
  • Restructuring actions connected with making concessions to the customers as a result of their difficult financial standing
  • Delay in payment as defined by the applicable standard, i.e. 30 days past due combined with the materiality threshold

• Quantitative assumptions:

  • A risk buffer method based on the comparison of curves illustrating the probability of default over the currently remaining lifetime of the exposure based on the risk level assessment at exposure recognition and at reporting date. Risk buffer is set in relative terms for every single exposure based on its risk assessment resulting from internal models and other parameters of exposure impacting assessment of the Group whether the increase might have significantly increased since initial recognition of the exposure (such parameters considered types of the products, term structure as well as profitability). Risk buffer methodology was prepared internally and is based on the information gathered in the course of the decision process as well as in the process of transactions structuring.
  • Absolute threshold criterion a significant increase in risk is considered to have occurred when, over the horizon of the current remaining life of the exposure, the annualised PD at the reporting date exceeds the corresponding PD at the time the exposure was recognised by an amount greater than the threshold.
  • In addition, the Bank applies the threefold risk criterion. It is met when, over the horizon of the current remaining life of the exposure, the annualised PD as at the reporting date exceeds three times the corresponding PD at the time the exposure was recognised.

The fact that the exposure is supported by the Borrowers' Support Fund is reported as a forborne and a significant increase in credit risk (Stage 2), and in justified cases (previously identified impairment, subsequent restructuring action, inability to service the debt forecasted on the basis of defined criteria) constitutes an indication of impairment (Stage 3).

Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group independently verifies the fulfillment of other quantitative thresholds (the absolute threshold criterion and the threefold risk increase criterion).

Santander Bank Polska S.A. identifies exposures with low credit risk in its corporate segment in accordance with the rules under IFRS 9, which allows for the recognition of 12-month expected losses even if credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. As of 30 September 2025, this portfolio was immaterial and represented 0.035% of Santander Bank Polska S.A.'s portfolio classified as Stage 1 or Stage 2.

Exposure in Stage 2 may be re-classified into Stage 1 without probation period as soon as significant increase in credit risk indicators after its initial recognition end e.g. when the following conditions are met: client`s current situation does not require constant monitoring, no restructuring actions towards exposure are taken, exposure has no payment delay over 30 days for significant amounts, no suspension of the contact due to Shield 4.0, and according to risk buffer method no risk increase occurs.

ECL measurement

Another key feature required by IFRS 9 is the approach to the estimation of risk parameters. For the purpose of estimating allowances for expected losses, Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group uses its own estimates of risk parameters that are based on internal models. Expected credit losses are the sum of individual products for each exposure of the estimated values of PD, LGD and EAD parameters in particular periods (depending on the stage either in the horizon of 12 months or in lifetime) discounted using the effective interest rate.

The estimated parameters are adjusted for macroeconomic scenarios in accordance with the assumptions of IFRS 9.

To this end, the Group determines the factors which affect individual asset classes to estimate an appropriate evolution of risk parameters.

The Group uses scenarios developed internally by the analytical team, which are updated on a monthly basis at least every six months.

The models and parameters generated for the needs of IFRS 9 are subject to model management process and periodic calibration and validation. These tools are also used in the financial planning process.

Determination of forward-looking information and their likelihood

Forward-looking events are reflected both in the process of estimating ECL and when determining a significant increase in credit risk, by developing appropriate macroeconomic scenarios and then reflecting them in the estimation of parameters for each scenario. The final parameter value and the ECL is the weighted average of the parameters weighted by the likelihood of each scenario. Group uses three scenario types: the baseline scenario and two alternative scenarios, which reflect the probable alternative options of the baseline scenario: upside and downside scenario. Scenario weights are determined using the expected GDP path and the confidence intervals for this forecast in such a way that the weights reflect the uncertainty about the future development of this factor.

The Group's models most often indicate the dependence of the quality of loan portfolios on the market situation in terms of the level of deposits, loans, as well as the levels of measures related to interest rates.

Management ECL overlays

At the end of the third quarter 2025, Santander Banka Polska S.A. Group has no significant overlays due to credit risk.

Estimates for legal claims

Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group raises provisions for legal claims in accordance with IAS 37. The provisions have been estimated considering the likelihood of unfavourable verdict and amount to be paid, and their impact is presented in other operating income and cost.

Details on the value of the provisions and the assumptions made for their calculation are provided in notes 25, 28 and 30.

Due to their specific nature, estimates related to legal claims of mortgage loans in foreign currencies are described below.

Estimates of risk arising from mortgage loans in foreign currencies

Due to the revolving legal situation related to mortgage loans portfolio denominated and indexed to foreign currencies, and inability to recover all contractual cash flows risk materialisation, Group estimates impact of legal risk on future cash flows.

Gross book value adjustment resulting from legal risk is estimated based on a number of assumptions, taking into account a specific time horizon and a number of probabilities such as:

  • the probability of possible settlements and
  • the probability of submitting claims by borrowers, and
  • the probability in terms of the number of disputes

which are described in more details in note 28.

Legal risk is estimated individually for each exposure in the event of litigation and in terms of portfolio in the absence of such.

As explained in the accounting policies, Santander Bank Polska Group accounts for the impact of legal risk as an adjustment to the gross book value of the mortgage loans portfolio. If there is no credit exposure or its value is insufficient, the impact of legal risk is presented as a provision according to IAS 37.

The result on legal risk is presented in a separate position in income statement "Cost of legal risk associated with foreign currency mortgage loans" and "Gain/loss on derecognition of financial instruments measured at amortised cost".

As at 30 September 2025, the Group recognized PLN 986,603 k as cost of legal risk related to mortgage loans in foreign currencies and PLN 22,961 k as a cost of signed settlements.

The Group will continue to monitor this risk in subsequent reporting periods.

Details presenting the impact of the above-mentioned risk on financial statement, assumptions adopted for their calculation, scenario description and sensitivity analysis are contained in notes 28 and 30, respectively.

2.7 Information of significant accounting policies

Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group consistently applied the adopted accounting principles both for the reporting period for all reporting periods presented in these financial statements.

In connection with the planned sale of 60% of the shares in Santander Consumer Bank, the accounting policy regarding assets held for sale gained significance. It was not presented as a significant accounting policy in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024, but which is significant to the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025.

Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group classifies fixed assets (or disposal groups) as held for sale when their carrying amount is expected to be recovered primarily through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. Fixed assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less costs of sell.

For an asset (or disposal group) to be classified as held for sale, it must be available for immediate sale in its current condition, subject only to customary and standard terms and conditions, and the sale itself must be highly probable.

A sale is highly probable when:

  • the appropriate level of management is committed to the sale plan for the asset (or disposal group) and an active program to find a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated,
  • the asset (or disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable with respect to its current fair value,
  • the sale is expected to be recorded as completed within one year from the date of classification.

A discontinued operation is a part of the Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group's business that represents a distinct, significant line of business or geographic area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale or disposal, or is a subsidiary acquired solely for the purpose of resale.

Santander Bank Polska S.A. Group classifies an operation as discontinued upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria for classification as held for sale. Where an operation is classified as discontinued, comparative figures for the income statement are restated as if the operation had been discontinued at the beginning of the comparative period.

3. Operating segments reporting

Presentation of information about business segments in Santander Bank Polska Group bases on management information model which is used for preparing of reports for the Management Board, which are used to assess performance of results and allocate resources. Operational activity of Santander Bank Polska Group has been divided into five segments: Retail Banking, Business & Corporate Banking, Corporate & Investment Banking, ALM (Assets and Liabilities Management) and Centre, and Santander Consumer (discontinued operation)1 . They were identified based on customers and product types.

Profit before tax is a key measure which Management Board of the Bank uses to assess performance of business segments activity.

Income and costs assigned to a given segment are generated on sale and service of products or services in the segment, according to description presented below. Such income and costs are recognized in the profit and loss account for Santander Bank Polska Group and may be assigned to a given segment either directly or based on reasonable assumptions.

Interest and similar income split by business segments is assessed by Management Board of the Bank on the net basis including costs of internal transfer funds and without split by interests income and costs.

Settlements among business segments relate to rewarding for delivered services and include:

  • sale and/or service of customers assigned to a given segment, via sale/service channels operated by another segment;
  • sharing of income and costs on transactions in cases where a transaction is processed for a customer assigned to a different segment;
  • sharing of income and cost of delivery of common projects.

Income and cost allocations are regulated by agreements between segments, which are based on single rates for specific services or breakdown of total income and/or cost.

Assets and liabilities of a given segment are used for the operational activity and may be assigned to the segment directly or on a reasonable basis.

Santander Bank Polska Group focuses its operating activity on the domestic market.

In 2025 customer resegmentation between business segments was introduced. Once a year, Santander Bank Polska Group carries out the resegmentation / migration of customers between operating segments which results from the fact that customer meets the criteria of assignment for different operating segment than before. This change is intended to provide services at the highest level of quality and tailored to individual needs or the scale of customer operations. Due to immaterial impact of resegmentation in results and balance sheet of particular segment, comparable data are not adjusted.

In the second quarter of 2025 reclassification of Santander Consumer Group to discontinued operation took place. Comparable data of Profit and Loss Statement are adjusted accordingly.

Due to the classification of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. as discontinued operations, in accordance with IFRS 5 the Group's data in the consolidated income statement for the 9-month period ended 30 September 2024 have been restated accordingly.

26

1 In accordance to announcement regarding expected sale transaction, as at 30 June 2025 the assets and liabilities of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. and its subsidiaries were classified as a group of assets and liabilities held for sale and as discontinued operations.

In the part regarding Santander Bank Polska, the cost of legal risk connected with the portfolio of FX mortgage were presented in Retail Banking segment. More details regarding the above provisions are described in the note 28.

The principles of income and cost identification, as well as assets and liabilities for segmental reporting purposes are consistent with the accounting policy applied in Santander Bank Polska Group.

**) A deferred tax liability arising from the difference between the carrying amount and the tax base of the shares of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. (SCB) held for sale. In relation to the sale of SCB shares, the Bank estimated the tax deductible acquisition cost based on the share exchange: the nominal value of own shares issued at the time of acquisition was taken as the acquisition cost for the purpose of determining the taxable income from the sale of SCB shares.

At the time of acquiring SCB shares in 2014, the Bank applied an exemption from recognising a deferred tax liability related to investments in subsidiaries in accordance with IAS 12.39. In 2025, once there was sufficient evidence that the sale of SCB shares was highly probable, the above exemption ceased to apply. As a consequence, SBP recognised a deferred tax liability.

At the start of 2025, the act implementing a global top-up tax in Poland became effective. As the Group is required to apply the provisions of this act, it assessed their potential impact based on the latest financial statements and tax calculations of the Group companies. In the Group's opinion, the provisions on top-up tax will not result in an additional tax charge in 2025 and 2026..

Below is a summary of the key methods and assumptions used in the estimation of fair values of the financial instruments shown in the table above.

Financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value in the statement of financial position

The Group has financial instruments which in accordance with the IFRS are not carried at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value of such instruments is measured using the following methods and assumptions.

Loans and advances to banks: The fair value of deposits is measured using discounted cash flows at the current money market interest rates for receivables of similar credit risk, maturity and currency. In the case of demand deposits without a fixed maturity date or with maturity up to 6 months, it is assumed that their fair value is not significantly different than their book value. The process of fair value estimation for these instruments is not affected by the long-term nature of the business with depositors. Loans and advances to banks were classified in their entirety as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to application of a measurement model with significant unobservable inputs.

Loans and advances to customers: Carried at net value after impairment charges. Fair value is calculated as the discounted value of the expected future cash flows in respect of principal and interest payments. It is assumed that loans and advances will be repaid at their contractual maturity date. The estimated fair value of the loans and advances reflects changes in the credit risk from the moment of sanction (margins) and changes in interest rates. Loans and advances to customers were classified in their entirety as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to application of a measurement model with significant unobservable inputs, i.e. current margins achieved on new credit transactions.

Debt investment financial assets measured at amortized cost: fair value estimated based on market quotations. Instruments classified in category I of the fair value hierarchy.

Deposits from banks and deposits from customers: Fair value of the deposits with maturity exceeding 6 months was estimated based on the cash flows discounted by the current market rates for the deposits with similar maturity dates. In the case of demand deposits without a fixed maturity date or with maturity up to 6 months, it is assumed that their fair value is not significantly different than their book value. The process of fair value estimation for these instruments is not affected by the long-term nature of the business with depositors. Deposits from banks and deposits from customers were classified in their entirety as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to application of a measurement model with significant unobservable inputs.

Debt securities in issue and subordinated liabilities: The Group has made an assumption that fair value of those securities is based on discounted cash flows methods incorporating adequate interest rates. Debt securities in issue and subordinated liabilities were classified in their entirety as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to application of a measurement model with significant unobservable inputs.

For Debt securities in issue and other items of liabilities, not carried at fair value in the financial statements, including: lease liabilities and other liabilities - the fair value does not differ significantly from the presented carrying amounts.

Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value in the statement of financial position

As at 30.09.2025 and in the comparable periods the Group made the following classification of its financial instruments measured at fair value in the statement of financial position:

Level I (active market quotations): debt, equity and derivative financial instruments which at the balance sheet date were measured using the prices quoted in the active market. The Group allocates to this level fixed-rate State Treasury bonds, treasury bills, shares of listed companies and WIG 20 futures.

Level II (the measurement methods based on market-derived parameters): This level includes NBP bills and derivative instruments. Derivative instruments are measured using discounted cash flow models based on the discount curve derived from the inter-bank market.

Level III (measurement methods using material non-market parameters): This level includes equity securities that are not quoted in the active market, measured using the expert valuation model; investment certificates measured at the balance sheet date at the price announced by the mutual fund and debt securities. This level includes also part of credit cards portfolio and loans and advances subject to underwriting, i.e. portion of credit exposures that are planned to be sold before maturity for reasons other than increase in credit risk.

The objective of using a valuation technique is to determine the fair value, i.e., prices, which were obtained by the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants carried out under current market conditions between market participants at the measurement date.

Level 3: Other valuation techniques.

Financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is determined using valuation models for which input data is not based on observable market data (unobservable input data). In this category, the Group classifies financial instruments, which are valued using internal valuation models:

Expert valuations of capital instruments are prepared whenever required, but at least once a year. Valuations are prepared by an employee of the Department of Capital Management and Capital Investments (DZKiIK), and then verified by an employee of the Financial Risk Department (DRF) and finally accepted by a specially appointed team of Directors: Department of Capital Management and Capital Investments (DZKiIK), Financial Risk Department (DRF). ) and the Financial Accounting Area (ORF) (or employees designated by them). The valuation methodology for estimating the value of financial instruments from the DZKiIK portfolio using the expert method is included in the document "Investment strategy of Santander Bank Polska S.A. in capital market instruments. This document is subject to periodic reviews, updated at least once a year and approved by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of the Bank.

Instruments are transferred between levels of the fair value hierarchy based on observability criteria verified at the ends of reporting periods. In the case of risk factors commonly considered observable on the market, the Bank considers information on directly concluded

transactions on a given market to be the primary criterion of observability, and information on the number and quality of available price quotations is an auxiliary criterion.

In the period from January 1 to September 30, 2025, the following transfers of financial instruments between levels of the fair value measurement hierarchy were made:

• derivatives were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2, which on the date of conclusion, due to the original maturity date and liquidity, are classified at level 3, and for which, as their period to maturity shortens, the liquidity of observable quotations increases and are transferred to level 2;

As at 30.09.2025 and in the comparable periods the Group classified its financial instruments to the following fair value levels:

28. Legal risk connected with CHF mortgage loans

As at 30 September 2025, the criteria for classification of assets and liabilities related to the operations of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. (SCB S.A.) and its subsidiaries as discontinued operations were met in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. The term "Group" used in this note as at 30 September 2025 refers to the operations of Santander Bank Polska S.A. and its subsidiaries. The disclosures about SCB Group are presented in Note 32 Discontinued operations. As at 31 December 2024, the Group referred to both Santander Bank Polska Group and Santander Consumer Bank Group.

As at 30 September 2025, the Group had a portfolio of 12.5k CHF-denominated and CHF-indexed loans of PLN 2,798,289k gross before adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 2,734,531k reducing contractual cash flows in respect of legal risk. The Group also had PLN loans which used to be denominated in or indexed to CHF. Their total gross amount was PLN 282,764k before adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 218,077k reducing contractual cash flows in respect of legal risk. There were 34.6k repaid CHFdenominated or CHF-indexed loans exposed to legal risk, and the disbursed amount totalled PLN 4.3bn.

As at 31 December 2024, the Group had a portfolio of 24.4k CHF-denominated and CHF-indexed loans of PLN 4,798,163k gross before adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 4,399,400k reducing contractual cash flows in respect of legal risk. The Group also had PLN loans which used to be denominated in or indexed to CHF. Their total gross amount was PLN 375,534k before adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 277,371k reducing contractual cash flows in respect of legal risk. There were 52.4k repaid CHF-denominated or CHF-indexed loans exposed to legal risk, and the disbursed amount totalled PLN 6.2bn.

For a long period of time, the ruling practice regarding loans indexed to or denominated in foreign currencies has not been unanimous.

The prevailing practice is the annulment of a loan agreement due to unfair clauses concerning loan indexation and application of an exchange rate from the bank's FX table. Some courts issue judgments as a result of which the loan is converted to PLN: the unfair indexation mechanism is removed and the loan is treated as a PLN loan with an interest rate based on a rate relevant for CHF. Other courts adjudicate partly in favour of banks: only the application of an exchange rate based on the bank's FX table is deemed to be unfair and is replaced by an objective indexation rate, i.e. an average NBP exchange rate or market exchange rate. Still others decide on the removal of loan indexation, as a consequence of which the loan is treated as a PLN loan with an interest rate based on WIBOR. Judgments are also passed which declare loan agreements void due to unlawful terms. Those judgments are incidental and as such, in the Group's view, have no significant impact on the assessment of legal risk of court cases regarding mortgage loans denominated in or indexed to CHF.

Lastly, there are still rulings which are entirely favourable to banks, where conversion clauses are not deemed to be unfair and the case against the bank is dismissed.

The foregoing differences in the case-law resulted from discrepancies in the ruling practice of the Supreme Court and the nature of rulings passed by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which essentially provide guidance rather than detailed rules on how specific disputes should be adjudicated and claims settled.

Judgments passed by the Supreme Court in cases examined as part of the cassation procedure varied as to the effects of potential unfairness of indexation clauses: from the annulment of a loan agreement (prevailing practice) to its continuation in existence after the removal of unfair terms.

In 2021, the Supreme Court was expected to present its stance on CHF loans in response to the questions asked by the First President of the Supreme Court in 2021 (file no. III CZP 11/21). However, as the Supreme Court's composition was contested the process was suspended, awaiting the CJEU's response to the question concerning the procedure for the appointment of judges. On 9 January 2024, the CJEU refused to respond to that question. The case was remanded to the Supreme Court. On 25 April 2024, the Civil Chamber passed a resolution (file no. III CZP 25/22). Nine judges refused to take part in the hearing on the constitutional grounds. Six judges issued dissenting opinions, mainly in relation to the continuation of an agreement in force after excluding unfair provisions. In accordance with the stance presented by the Supreme Court in the above resolution:

  • if a contractual provision of an indexed or denominated loan agreement concerning the determination of a foreign currency exchange rate is found to be an unfair clause and is not binding, based on the current case law it is not possible for this provision to be replaced by any other method of determining exchange rates under the law or prevailing practices;
  • if it is not possible to determine a binding exchange rate in an indexed or denominated loan agreement, other provisions of that agreement are not binding either.

In relation to the invalidation of a loan agreement, the Supreme Court further held that:

  • if a bank disbursed a loan in full or in part under a loan agreement which is not binding due to unfair clauses and a borrower made loan repayments under that agreement, the parties can make separate claims for reimbursement of undue consideration (two separate claims theory);
  • if a loan agreement is not binding due to unfair clauses, then in principle, the limitation period for the bank's claims for reimbursement of amounts disbursed under that agreement starts running as of the next day after the borrower questioned the binding nature of the agreement;
  • if a loan agreement is not binding due to unfair clauses, there is no legal basis for either party to claim interest or other benefits in respect of the use of that party's funds during the period from performance of undue consideration until the day the party fell in arrears with reimbursement of that consideration.

In September 2024, the grounds for the above resolution and part of dissenting opinions were published. Following the adoption of the above resolution by the Supreme Court, the prevailing ruling practice is still to declare the loan agreement invalid due to unfair indexation and currency exchange clauses. However, there are also judgments which do not follow the argumentation presented by the Supreme Court and declare that the loan agreement should continue in force.

Such rulings in favour of the continued existence of an agreement were also passed by the Supreme Court following the adoption of the resolution on 25 April 2024. They included the judgment of 9 May 2024 (file no. II CSKP 2416/22) and the judgment of 30 October 2024 (file no. II CSKP 1939/22). In the first judgment, the Supreme Court held that loan agreements which could be initially repaid directly in a foreign currency could continue as foreign currency loan agreements after removing the conversion clauses and that there were no grounds for their annulment. In the second judgment, the Supreme Court held that the agreement contained provisions which allowed it to continue in existence after removing the unfair terms. It also stressed that Directive 93/13/EEC does not provide for the absolute invalidity of agreements containing unfair terms, and the general rule is to keep the agreement in force.

In the earlier resolution passed in 2021 (file no. III CZP 6/21), the Supreme Court expressed its opinion on several important matters concerning settlements between the parties in the case of annulment of a loan agreement. It stated that the parties must each reimburse to the other any payments made under the agreement in accordance with the two separate claims theory. This way, the balance theory (ex officio mutual set-off of claims) was rejected. At the same time, the Supreme Court held that there are legal instruments in place, such as set-off and the right of retention, which make it possible to concurrently account for mutual settlements in relation to unjust enrichment following the invalidation of the loan agreement. As there were conflicting opinions about whether the right of retention can be exercised with respect to claims arising from a loan agreement, questions were submitted to the Supreme Court about the legal nature of a loan agreement. Courts also referred to the CJEU for a preliminary ruling.

In the above resolution, the Supreme Court also pointed out that the limitation of the bank's claims for return of unjust enrichment may not commence until the agreement is considered permanently ineffective, i.e. until the consumer takes an informed decision as to invalidity of the agreement, after they have been duly informed about the unfairness of contractual provisions and the related effects. This was in line with the opinion issued by the CJEU in respect of the limitation period for the consumer's claims for reimbursement of instalments paid following the annulment of the agreement, stating that it would be unreasonable to assume that this period should begin to run from the date of each payment made by the consumer as the consumer might not be aware of the existence or nature of unfair terms in the agreement.

In its ruling practice, the CJEU generally gives priority to the protection of consumer's interests violated by unfair contractual terms. At the same time, it reiterates that the main objective of Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair terms in consumer contracts is to restore the balance between the parties, i.e. to restore the legal and factual situation which the consumer would have been in had they signed the agreement without the unfair term, while not undermining the deterrent effect sought by the Directive (deterring sellers or suppliers from including unfair terms in agreements). Therefore, the court should first endeavour to keep the agreement in existence without the unfair term, where possible (i.e. if the main subject of the agreement is not changed). At the same time, the CJEU held that it was permissible for the unfair term to be replaced by a supplementary provision of national law (even the one that entered into force after the conclusion of the agreement) or a rule which the parties opted for, and put forward another option for consideration: that the parties should restore the balance through negotiations within the framework set by the court, this way protecting the consumer from adverse effects of the annulment of an agreement (particularly the need to immediately reimburse the amounts due to the bank). The CJEU takes the view that an agreement should be invalidated only as a last resort and only after the court presents the borrower with consequences of this solution and the borrower agrees to it. However, in order to ensure that the agreement can continue in existence, the court should apply all available measures, including an analysis of the possibility of removing only some of the clauses considered unfair without changing the substance of the contractual obligation. Nevertheless, the prevailing practice of Polish courts is to invalidate the agreement as a result of elimination of unfair clauses.

The CJEU pointed out on several occasions (e.g. in cases: C-6/22, C-349/18 to C-351/18) that settlements between the parties following the annulment of an agreement are governed by national law (provided that the objectives of Directive 93/13/EEC are met). Consequently, the national courts have the exclusive jurisdiction over claims for restitution. That said, losses arising from the annulled agreement should not be equally distributed, i.e. the consumer should not incur a half or more than a half of the related costs.

On 15 June 2023, the CJEU passed judgment in case C-520/21 regarding claims of the parties for settlement of amounts arising from the non-contractual use of the capital in the case of annulment of an agreement pursuant to Directive 93/13/EEC. In the grounds of the judgment the CJEU stated that "in the context of the annulment in its entirety of a mortgage loan agreement on the ground that it cannot continue in existence after the removal of the unfair terms, Article 6(1) and Article 7(1) of Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts must be interpreted as:

  • not precluding a judicial interpretation of national law according to which the consumer has the right to seek compensation from the credit institution going beyond reimbursement of the monthly instalments paid and the expenses paid in respect of the performance of that agreement together with the payment of default interest at the statutory rate from the date on which notice is served, provided that the objectives of Directive 93/13/EEC and the principle of proportionality are observed; and
  • precluding a judicial interpretation of national law according to which the credit institution is entitled to seek compensation from the consumer going beyond reimbursement of the capital paid in respect of the performance of that agreement together with the payment of default interest at the statutory rate from the date on which notice is served."

In its judgment, the CJEU confirmed that the effects of the annulment of an agreement are governed by the national law subject to the provisions of Directive 93/13 EEC. Consequently, claims for restitution will be assessed by the national court after examining the facts of the case. The grounds of judgment indicate that the bank's claims going beyond the reimbursement of the loan principal are contrary to the objectives of Directive 93/13/EEC, if they would cause the bank to make a similar profit to the one intended to be earned in the performance of the agreement. The deterrent effect would thus be eliminated.

However, several courts issued decisions (which are not yet final) stating that banks' claims for reimbursement of the capital adjusted for changes in the time value of money are admissible and warranted.

At the same time, the CJEU held that the EU law does not preclude the consumer from seeking compensation from the bank beyond reimbursement of the instalments paid. But in the grounds of judgment it asserted that such claims should be assessed in the light of all the facts of the case to ensure that potential benefits derived by the consumer after annulment of the agreement do not go beyond what is necessary to restore the legal and factual situation they would have been in if they had not concluded a defective agreement and that the benefits are not a disproportionate penalty on a seller or supplier (proportionality principle). Furthermore, as any such claims will be assessed in accordance with national laws on unjust enrichment, the decision to uphold them would be questionable as there is no actual enrichment on the part of the bank as a result of the use of funds paid by the borrower (the borrower only reimburses the money provided by the bank under an agreement declared invalid).

On 11 December 2023, the CJEU issued an order in case C-756/22 concerning the bank's restitution claims, stating that the issue in question had already been resolved in the judgment of 15 June 2023 and a separate judgment in this regard was not necessary.

In its order of 12 January 2024 in case C-488/23, the CJEU maintained its stance presented in the judgment of 15 June 2023 in case C-520/21 and issued interpretation, indicating that the bank cannot seek compensation from the consumer in the form of court-ordered adjustment to the capital paid to the consumer, but only the capital and statutory late payment interest from the date of the demand for payment.

On 7 December 2023, the CJEU passed a judgment in another case brought by the Polish court (C-140/22), in which it stated that the assessment of unfairness of contractual clauses is made by operation of law and the national court should examine disputable provisions ex officio. The CJEU also stressed that the consumer should be able to exercise their rights irrespective of whether they have made a statement before the court that they are aware of the consequences of the invalidity of the agreement and gives their consent to its annulment.

In its judgment of 14 December 2023 in case C-28/22, the TSUE ruled on the limitation period for claims of banks and consumers but did not specifically indicate the start date of that period. It merely concluded that it cannot begin to run as from the date of the final and non-appealable judgment and that the start date for bank's claims cannot be earlier than that for consumer's claims. The CJEU also noted that banks may use their right of retention but it should not automatically mean the suspension of the accrual of late payment interest due to consumers.

In its order of 8 May 2024 in case C-424/22, the CJEU upheld its stance on the retention right, expressing a negative opinion on the very exercise of that right by a bank in relation to a consumer. In its resolution of 19 June 2024 (file no. III CZP 31/23), the Supreme Court also questioned the possibility to exercise a retention right by the bank or the borrower, indicating that whenever claims can be set off, the parties have no right of retention.

In Q4 2024, the Regional Court in Warsaw requested a preliminary ruling from the CJEU regarding the settlements made between the parties following the invalidation of the agreement, mainly in the context of banks' restitution claims. The questions referred by the court concerned the statute of limitations for claims, as well as the rules for enforcing claims and awarding legal costs.

On 19 June 2025, the CJEU issued a judgment in case C-396/24, stating that Directive 93/13 must be interpreted as precluding national case-law according to which, where a term of a loan agreement classified as unfair renders that agreement invalid, the seller or supplier is entitled to require the consumer to repay the full nominal amount of the loan obtained, irrespective of the value of repayments made by the consumer in performance of that agreement and irrespective of the amount remaining due. The CJEU's stance differs in this regard from the two claims theory adopted by the Polish Supreme Court whereby each party must repay all the amounts received (without the automatic offsetting of the two claims to the extent of the lower claim based on the balance theory). Accordingly, the rules for settling claims between parties to the invalidated loan agreement may change if the Polish courts adopt the same stance as the CJEU.

The CJEU's rulings do not address all issues concerning the settlement of an invalidated agreement, but at the same time they refer to the issues subject to national law which have already been adjudicated by the Supreme Court.Accordingly, the final assessment of legal risk related to claims of the parties for consideration arising from the non-contractual use of the capital in the case of annulment of the agreement largely depends on the ruling practice of national courts with regard to the enforcement of CJEU and Supreme Court's judgments.

As the ruling practice has not been completely unanimous, at the date of these financial statements the Group estimated the legal risk associated with the portfolio of loans indexed to and denominated in a foreign currency using a model which considers different observed court judgments (in the form of adjustment to the gross carrying amount for active exposures or provisions for inactive exposures), including those which were the subject of the resolution of the entire Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court. The model can also be affected by subsequent CJEU rulings on questions referred by the Polish courts, the stance of the Supreme Court and the ruling practice of national courts. The Group is monitoring court decisions taken with regard to foreign currency loans in terms of changes in the ruling practice. The model might also be affected by a potential intervention of legislators aimed to restore the balance between the parties following the removal of the unfair clause to protect legal relationships from mass annulment of mortgage loan agreements or by introduction of sector-wide solutions for mass and amicable resolution of disputes with borrowers (work is currently underway in relation to a bill aimed at, among other things, streamlining court proceedings related to mortgage loans denominated and indexed in CHF, and implementing solutions to encourage amicable dispute resolution and facilitate settlements of parties' claims arising from the annulment of the agreement as part of one court case).

In view of the above, the Group identified the risk that in the case of lawsuits which have already been filed or are predicted to be filed based on applicable models the scheduled cash flows from the portfolio of mortgage loans denominated in and indexed to foreign currencies might not be fully recoverable and/or that a liability might arise, resulting in a future cash outflow. The Group recognises the impact of legal risk associated with foreign currency mortgage loans in line with the requirements arising from:

• IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – in the case of active loans and

• IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets – in the case of loans repaid in full or if the gross carrying amount of an active loan is lower than the value of risk.

The adjustment to the gross carrying amount (in accordance with IFRS 9) and provisions (in accordance with IAS 37) were estimated taking into account a number of assumptions which significantly influence the estimate reflected in the Group's financial statements.

As at 30 September 2025, there were 14,153 pending lawsuits against the Group over loans indexed to or denominated in a foreign currency, with the disputed amount totalling PLN 5,836,495k. Loans repaid as at the lawsuit date accounted for 20% of all lawsuits. The latter included one class action filed against Santander Bank Polska S.A. under the Class Action Act and relating to 216 CHF-indexed loans with the disputed amount of PLN 50,983k.

As at 31 December 2024, there were 21,537 pending lawsuits against the Group over loans indexed to or denominated in a foreign currency, with the disputed amount totalling PLN 7,730,883k. Loans repaid as at the lawsuit date accounted for 16% of all lawsuits. The latter included one class action filed against Santander Bank Polska S.A. under the Class Action Act and relating to 263 CHF-indexed loans with the disputed amount of PLN 50,983k.

As at 30 September 2025, the total cumulative impact of legal risk connected with foreign currency mortgage loans in the Group was estimated at PLN 4,820,128k, including:

  • IFRS 9 adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 2,952,608k;
  • IAS 37 provision at PLN 1,867,520k.

As at 31 December 2024, the total cumulative impact of legal risk connected with foreign currency mortgage loans in the Group was estimated at PLN 6,592,013k, including:

  • IFRS 9 adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 4,676,771k (including PLN 3,722,362k in the case of Santander Bank Polska S.A. and PLN 954,409k in the case of Santander Consumer Bank S.A.)
  • IAS 37 provision at PLN 1,915,242k (including PLN 1,461,997k in the case of Santander Bank Polska S.A. and PLN 453,245k in the case of Santander Consumer Bank S.A.).

The tables below present the total cost of legal risk connected with mortgage loans recognised in the Group's income statement and statement of financial position, including the cost of settlements discussed in detail in the section below.

*As at 31 December 2024, the total cumulative impact of legal risk related to foreign currency mortgage loans included SCB Group.

As at 30 September 2025, the total adjustment to the gross carrying amount and provisions for legal risk and legal provisions (for legal claims and a collective portion) in respect of the CHF loan portfolio were PLN 4,752,514k and accounted for 154.2% of the gross value of the active CHF loan portfolio (before IFRS 9 adjustment to the gross carrying amount).

As at 31 December 2024, the total adjustment to the gross carrying amount and provisions for legal risk and legal provisions (for legal claims and a collective portion) accounted for 127.4% of the gross value of the active CHF loan portfolio (before IFRS 9 adjustment to the gross carrying amount).

The model for assessing legal risk of foreign currency loans which is used to estimate provisions for legal risk derives from statistical data and expert judgments based on observation of developments and trends that may have significant impact on the ruling practice and on the number of legal disputes and their resolution. Accordingly, the scenarios of different court judgments used in the model reflect all developments whose number and significance for risk assessment is relevant from the perspective of the portfolio. At the same time, in order to prevent the model from being overly susceptible to fluctuations caused by data variability in short periods of time, the likelihoods of those scenarios are taken into account when making any potential changes to the underlying parameters.

The change in the value of the provisions between January and September 2025 resulted from the review of legal risk connected with foreign currency mortgage loans. As a consequence of the review, the level of expected settlements and the number of expected lawsuits regarding active and in particular repaid loans were taken into account, as were settlement costs in the case of invalidation of the loan agreement.

The Group used a statistical model to estimate the likelihood of claims being made by borrowers in relation to both active and repaid loans based on the existing lawsuits against the Group and the estimated growth in their number. The model assesses the so-called lifetime risk and is based on a range of behavioural characteristics related to the loan and the customer. The Group assumes that lawsuits have been or will be filed against the Group in relation to approx. 41% of active and repaid loans (36% in December 2024).These assumptions are highly sensitive to a number of external factors, including but not limited to the ruling practice of Polish courts, the level of publicity around individual rulings, measures taken by the mediating law firms and the cost of proceedings. Customers' interest in proposed settlements is another important aspect affecting the estimates, as is the practice of Polish courts with regard to the enforcement of CJEU rulings.

The Group expects that most of the projected lawsuits will be filed by the end of 2026, and then the number of new claims will drop as the legal environment will become more structured.

In the Group's opinion, the expected number of cases estimated based on the statistical model is also characterised by uncertainty owing to such factors as: the duration of court proceedings (also estimated based on a relatively short time horizon of available statistics, which does not meet the conditions for application of quantitative methods) and the growing costs related to the instigation and continuation of court proceedings.

For the purpose of calculating the costs of legal risk, the Group also estimated how likely it is that a specific number of lawsuits will be filed and what the possible end scenarios are in this respect. The Group also considered the protracted proceedings in some courts.

As at 30 September 2025, 5,370 final and non-appealable judgments were issued in cases against the Group (considering those passed after the CJEU judgment of 3 October 2019), of which 5,241 were unfavourable to the Group, and 129 were entirely or partially favourable to the Group (compared to 4,841 judgments as at 31 December 2024, including 4,649 unfavourable ones and 192 entirely or partially favourable).When assessing the likelihoods, the Group used the support of law firms and conducted thorough analysis of the ruling practice in cases concerning indexed and denominated loans.

As to date the ruling practice has not been completely unanimous, the Group considered the following scenarios of possible court rulings that might lead to financial losses:

  • Annulment of the whole loan agreement due to unfair clauses, with only the nominal of the capital to be reimbursed by the borrower (prevailing scenario);
  • Annulment of the loan agreement clauses identified as unfair, resulting in the conversion of the loan into PLN and maintenance of an interest rate based on a rate relevant for CHF;
  • Conversion of the loan to PLN with an interest rate based on WIBOR.

These scenarios were estimated with the support of external law firms independent from the Group and vary in terms of the level of losses incurred in the case of their materialisation. Each of these scenarios has an estimated expected loss level based on the available historical data.

Settlements

The Group actively encourages customers to make settlements. As part of the settlement, the loan is converted to PLN and/or a method is determined to settle the liabilities arising from the loan agreement. The settlement terms are individually negotiated with customers. Settlement proposals are made both to customers who have taken legal action and to customers who have not yet decided to file a lawsuit. It is reflected in the model which is currently used to calculate legal risk provisions, both in terms of the impact of proposed settlements on customers' willingness to bring the case to court and with respect to the potential outcomes of court proceedings.

By 30 September 2025, the Group made 11,396 settlements (both pre-court and post-court), of which 943 ones were reached in Q3 2025.

In mid-2022, the Group developed a settlement scenario which reflects the level of losses for future settlements. The scenario is based on acceptance levels and losses on loans as part of settlement proposals described above. The acceptance level of future settlements is affected by factors such as the interest rate of PLN loans, the CHF/PLN conversion rate, the development of the ruling practice and the duration of proceedings.

29. Discontinued operations

Expected ownership changes

On 5 May 2025, an announcement was made about an agreement concluded by Erste Group Bank AG (Erste Group) and Banco Santander S.A. (Santander Group) whereby Erste Group will acquire a 49% stake in Santander Bank Polska S.A. for a cash consideration of EUR 6.8bn (PLN 584 per share) and a 50% stake in Santander Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych S.A. (Santander TFI S.A.) for EUR 0.2bn. Together, this amounts to a total cash consideration of EUR 7bn.

The closing of the sale transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other prerequisites such as the sale of a 60% stake in Santander Consumer Bank S.A. held by Santander Bank Polska S.A. to Santander Group.

By acquiring 49% of shares in Santander Bank Polska S.A., Erste Group will become the largest shareholder. Banco Santander S.A. will keep a stake representing 13% of the share capital of Santander Bank Polska S.A.

Measures to sell Santander Consumer Bank S.A.

In relation to the agreement made by Banco Santander S.A. (Santander Group) and Erste Group Bank AG (Erste Group), as announced on 5 May 2025, regarding the sale of a 49% stake in Santander Bank Polska S.A. and a 50% stake in Santander Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych S.A. (Santander TFI), the operations of Banco Santander S.A. in Poland must be reorganised. It involves a change to the ownership structure of Santander Consumer Bank S.A., which, together with its subsidiaries, is part of Santander Bank Polska Group.

On 12 May 2025, Santander Bank Polska S.A. announced the start of discussions with Banco Santander S.A. on the sale of Santander Consumer Bank S.A.

With the consent from the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Santander Bank Polska S.A., on 16 June 2025 the Bank signed a preliminary agreement with Spain-based Santander Consumer Finance S.A. on the sale of 3,120k shares in Santander Consumer Bank S.A. representing 60% of the share capital and voting power for the total price of PLN 3.105bn.

For the purpose of the transaction, on 13 June 2025 the Bank's Management Board received a fairness opinion on the financial terms of the potential transaction.

The closing of the transaction is subject to obtaining all consents required by law (including approval from the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, "KNF") and fulfillment of other terms defined in the transaction documentation.

The Management Board of Santander Bank Polska S.A. concluded that the criteria for classification of SCB Group in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations were met as at 30 June 2025.

The assets related to the activities of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. ("SCB S.A.") and its subsidiaries are available for immediate sale in their present condition. The sale is subject to the consent of the KNF. The Management Board of Santander Bank Polska S.A. assessed the probability of the foregoing and concluded that the consent would be granted and that the sale was highly probable.

Furthermore, according to the Management Board, Santander Consumer Bank S.A. and its subsidiaries are operationally independent entities and represent a major line of business.

In view of the above, as at 30 June 2025 the assets and liabilities of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. and its subsidiaries were classified as a group of assets and liabilities held for sale and as discontinued operations. This presentation is kept unchanged in the financial statements as at 30 September 2025.

In connection with SCB Group being classified as discontinued operations, the Group's data in the consolidated income statement for the 9-month period ended 30 September 2024 have been represented accordingly, while the data in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024 have not been restated, as required by IFRS 5.

In accordance with the policy adopted by Santander Bank Polska Group, non-current assets held for sale and groups of non-current assets held for sale are recognised at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less costs of disposal. In relation to the disposal of SCB Group, the measurement at carrying amount was adopted, as this amount is lower than the agreed sales price.

The business of SCB Group represents a separate operating segment. The activities of this segment focus on selling products and services to personal and business customers. The offer comprises mainly credit facilities: car loans, credit cards, cash loans, instalment loans and leasing. The Santander Consumer segment also includes term deposits and insurance products (mostly linked to credit facilities).

The Management Board of Santander Bank Polska S.A. expects to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of SCB Group in the form of economic benefits from the sale. As the carrying amount of those assets exceeds their tax base, the amount of taxable economic benefits will exceed the amount that will be allowed as a deduction for tax purposes. In relation to the sale of SCB shares, Santander Bank Polska S.A. estimated the tax deductible acquisition cost based on the share exchange: the nominal value of own shares issued at the time of acquisition was taken as the acquisition cost for the purpose of determining the taxable income from the sale of SCB shares.

A deferred tax liability has been recognised in relation to the expected tax payable on the transaction. Given that the current tax will be paid by the parent entity, the deferred tax liability is not included in the group of liabilities held for sale.

At the same time, the effect of recognising the deferred tax liability is allocated in the income statement to the discontinued operations because the deferred tax is directly connected with the sale of shares in the entity classified as discontinued operations.

A detailed analysis of the group of non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations is presented below.

The major classes of assets and liabilities related to the discontinued operations comprising Santander Consumer Bank S.A. and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2025 (after elimination of intercompany transactions):

SCB Group (disposal group) meets the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the results of those operations have been presented as post-tax profit directly in the Group's income statement, taking into account the non-controlling interests related to the discontinued operations.

Income and expenses related to intercompany transactions made between Santander Bank Polska S.A. and SCB Group and intercompany transactions within SCB Group have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

The above eliminations have been made in the income statement of the discontinued operations.

A detailed analysis of results of the discontinued operations (after eliminations) is presented below:

Detailed information about legal risk connected with CHF mortgage loans of Santander Consumer Bank Group is presented below:

As at 30 September 2025, SCB Group had a portfolio of 5.6k CHF-indexed loans of PLN 809,613k gross before adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 692,134k reducing contractual cash flows in respect of legal risk. SCB Group also had PLN loans which used to be denominated in or indexed to CHF. Their total gross amount was PLN 67,521k before adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 33,196k reducing contractual cash flows in respect of legal risk. There were 17.3k repaid CHF-denominated or CHF-indexed loans exposed to legal risk, and the disbursed amount totalled PLN 1.9bn.

As at 31 December 2024, SCB Group had a portfolio of 7.7k CHF-denominated and CHF-indexed loans of PLN 1,090,537k gross before adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 907,426k reducing contractual cash flows in respect of legal risk. SCB Group also had PLN loans which used to be denominated in or indexed to CHF. Their total gross amount was PLN 78,069k before adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 46,983k reducing contractual cash flows in respect of legal risk. There were 17.7k repaid CHFdenominated or CHF-indexed loans exposed to legal risk, and the disbursed amount totalled PLN 2.0bn.

Detailed information about the ruling practice of common courts and the key stances of the CJEU and the Supreme Court regarding loans indexed to or denominated in foreign currencies can be found in the section on legal risk of mortgage loans in Note 28 to these financial statements.

As the ruling practice has not been completely unanimous, at the date of these financial statements SCB Group estimated the legal risk associated with the portfolio of loans indexed to and denominated in a foreign currency using a model which considers different observed court judgments (in the form of adjustment to the gross carrying amount for active exposures or provisions for inactive exposures), including those which were the subject of the resolution of the entire Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court. The model can also be affected by subsequent CJEU rulings on questions referred by the Polish courts, the stance of the Supreme Court and the ruling practice of national courts. SCB Group is monitoring court decisions taken with regard to foreign currency loans in terms of changes in the ruling practice. The model might also be affected by a potential intervention of legislators aimed to restore the balance between the parties following the removal of the unfair clause to protect legal relationships from mass annulment of mortgage loan agreements or by introduction of sector-wide solutions for mass and amicable resolution of disputes with borrowers (work is currently underway in relation to a bill aimed at, among other things, streamlining court proceedings related to mortgage loans denominated and indexed in CHF, and implementing solutions to encourage amicable dispute resolution and facilitate settlements of parties' claims arising from the annulment of the agreement as part of one court case).

In view of the above, SCB Group identified the risk that in the case of lawsuits which have already been filed or are predicted to be filed based on applicable models the scheduled cash flows from the portfolio of mortgage loans denominated in and indexed to foreign currencies might not be fully recoverable and/or that a liability might arise, resulting in a future cash outflow. The Group recognises the impact of legal risk associated with foreign currency mortgage loans in line with the requirements arising from:

  • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in the case of active loans; and
  • IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets in the case of loans repaid in full or if the gross carrying amount of an active loan is lower than the value of risk.

The adjustment to the gross carrying amount (in accordance with IFRS 9) and provisions (in accordance with IAS 37) were estimated taking into account a number of assumptions which significantly influence the estimate reflected in the Group's financial statements.

As at 30 September 2025, there were 6,224 pending lawsuits against SCB Group over loans indexed to a foreign currency, with the disputed amount totalling PLN 1,691,528k. Loans repaid as at the lawsuit date accounted for 21% of all lawsuits.

As at 31 December 2024, there were 7,637 pending lawsuits against SCB Group over loans indexed to a foreign currency, with the disputed amount totalling PLN 2,008,722k. Loans repaid as at the lawsuit date accounted for 16% of all lawsuits.

As at 30 September 2025, the total cumulative impact of legal risk connected with foreign currency mortgage loans in SCB Group was estimated at PLN 1,191,128k, including:

  • IFRS 9 adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 725,330k;
  • IAS 37 provision at PLN 465,798k.

As at 31 December 2024, the total cumulative impact of legal risk associated with foreign currency mortgage loans in SCB Group was estimated at PLN 1,407,654k, including:

  • IFRS 9 adjustment to the gross carrying amount at PLN 954,409k;
  • IAS 37 provision at PLN 453,245k.

As at 30 September 2025, the total adjustment to the gross carrying amount and provisions for legal risk and legal provisions (for legal claims and a collective portion) accounted for 135.8% of the gross value of the active CHF loan portfolio (before IFRS 9 adjustment to the gross carrying amount). The corresponding value as at 31 December 2024 was 120.5%.

The change in the value of the provisions between January and September 2025 resulted from the review of legal risk connected with foreign currency mortgage loans. As a consequence of the review, the level of expected settlements and the number of expected lawsuits regarding active and in particular repaid loans were taken into account, as were settlement costs in the case of invalidation of the loan agreement.

Detailed information about the calculation of provisions is presented in Note 28 to these financial statements.

SCB Group assumes that lawsuits have been or will be filed against the Group in relation to approx. 30% of active and repaid loans (31% in December 2024).

In the Group's opinion, the expected number of cases estimated based on the statistical model is also characterised by uncertainty owing to such factors as: the duration of court proceedings (also estimated based on a relatively short time horizon of available statistics, which does not meet the conditions for application of quantitative methods) and the growing costs related to the instigation and continuation of court proceedings.

For the purpose of calculating the costs of legal risk, SCB Group also estimated how likely it is that a specific number of lawsuits will be filed and what the possible end scenarios are in this respect. It also considered the protracted proceedings in some courts. As at 30 September 2025, 3,000 final and non-appealable judgments were issued in cases against SCB Group (considering those passed after the CJEU judgment of 3 October 2019), of which 2,895 were unfavourable to SCB, and 105 were entirely or partially favourable (compared to 1,634 judgments as at 31 December 2024, including 1,549 unfavourable ones and 85 entirely or partially favourable). When assessing the likelihoods the Group used the support of law firms and conducted thorough analysis of the ruling practice in cases concerning indexed and denominated loans, considering different scenarios of possible court rulings which are presented in detail in the section on legal risk of mortgage loans in Note 28 to these financial statements.

Settlements

By 30 September 2025, SCB Group made 4,685 settlements (both pre-court and post-court), of which 486 ones were reached in Q3 2025.

Administrative penalty proceedings by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority

On 9 May 2025, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) decided to dismiss the administrative proceedings instigated on 22 November 2023 against Santander Bank Polska S.A. regarding a fine under Article 176i(1)(4) of the Act on trading in financial instruments.

Court cases over a free credit sanction

As at 30 September 2025, there were 2,778 pending lawsuits against the Bank over a free credit sanction, with the disputed amount totalling PLN 74,570k. The lawsuits are brought by customers or entities that have purchased customers' debt and concern the compliance of consumer cash loan agreements with the Consumer Credit Act.

There are also several proceedings pending before the CJEU following from the requests for preliminary ruling from the Polish courts. They refer to such issues as the permissibility of interest calculation on the loan portion financing non-interest costs, lender's information obligations, appropriateness of application of a free credit sanction for potential infringement of information obligations in the light of the EU proportionality rule, and permissibility of disposal of consumer debt to a professional entity.

On 13 February 2025, the CJEU issued a judgment in case C-472/23, addressing some of the issues mentioned above: contractual information on annual percentage rate of charge (APRC), banks' information obligations in the case of amendment of charges connected with the performance of an agreement and proportionality of the sanction depriving the lender of its right to interest and charges in the case of infringement of an information obligation. While not ruling on the permissibility of interest calculation on the loan portion financing non-interest costs, the CJEU held that an APRC is calculated at the time the agreement is concluded, based on the assumption that the agreement in the wording applicable at that time will remain valid for the period agreed. It means that the bank does not violate its information obligations regarding the APRC even if contractual terms affecting the APRC are subsequently found to be unfair.

Accordingly, the CJEU concluded that such practice does not constitute in itself an infringement of the information obligation set out in Article 10(2)(g) of Directive 2008/48.

In its judgment, the CJEU also outlined the rules for proper performance of information obligations by banks in the case of amendment of charges connected with the performance of an agreement and stated that the proportionality rule should be applied in relation to the sanction rendering the loan free of interest and charges and that sanctions should be effective and dissuasive.

The Group closely monitors the ruling practice in terms of the free credit sanction. At present, the vast majority of rulings are favourable to the Group.

12 May 2025 Santander Bank Polska S.A. announced that it had commenced talks with Banco Santander S.A. regarding the sale of Santander Consumer Bank S.A. In response to this, the Bank estimated the impact of the deconsolidation of the SCB Group, calculated based on data as at 30 September 2025, on the consolidated total capital ratio at +174 basis points. Capital ratios for continuing operations pro forma: the total capital ratio would be 19.80% (+174 basis points) and the Tier I ratio would be 19.14% (+176 basis points).

The Bank is not presenting EU CMS1, EU CMS2 and EU CVA4 tables as it only uses the Standardised Approach to calculate capital requirements and the Reduced Basis Approach R-BA to calculate credit valuation adjustments( CVA risk).

The main factors Influencing the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (hereinafter 'LCR') are:

  • on the outflow side, retail deposits, and then non-operational and operational non-retail deposits, additional outflows due to the impact of a negative market scenario on the valuation of derivatives and outflows due to irrevocable off-balance sheet liabilities, including those related to trade financing;
  • on the inflows side, these are mainly the expected inflows from receivables from financial institutions (interbank and central bank deposits);

• on the side of liquid assets, the main part are liquid Treasury bonds or bonds fully guaranteed by the Treasury (including securities issued by the Polish Development Fund and Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego as part of anti-crisis shields during the COVID-19 pandemic), government bonds of Germany, the Great Britain, the United States, Spain and bonds issued by the European Investment Bank, NBP bills (NBP), and then cash and the surplus on NBP accounts over the amount of the required reserve.

The main factors remain substantially the same over time.

Disclosed LCR in September 2025 remains on high and safe level, much above both the regulatory and internal Group's limits. The indicator that remains at a high level is primarily the result of high level of deposit base (especially in 'stable retail deposits' category) and realized issues, allocated mainly in high quality liquid assets and specification of operational deposits within non-retail customer deposits.

In line with the Liquidity Risk Policy, the Group prudently manages an appropriately diversified deposit base. Financing is mostly based on the current accounts and term deposits of individual clients and enterprises, mainly non-financial. The Group also focuses on diversifying sources of long-term financing, being present on wholesale markets by issuing debt and taking long-term loans on the financial market. A significant, but much smaller than the aforementioned, part of financing are own issues in the form of both subordinated and ordinary debt. It should be noted that in the third quarter of 2025 r. Santander Factoring Sp. z o.o. issued PLN 1 250 million and Santander Leasing S.A. issued PLN 600 million of new bonds. In the current strategy, the Group attempts to minimize the share of secured financing.

General description of the institution's liquidity buffer structure.

High quality liquid assets (HQLAs) consists of: extremely liquid securities (mainly Treasury Bonds or bonds fully guaranteed by Polish Central Government, government bonds of Germany, the United States, the Great Britain, Spain and bonds issued by the European Investment Bank), central bank assets (including NBP bills), cash, surplus in current accounts of National Bank of Poland (NBP) over the amount of mandatory reserve As at 30 September 2025 the above mentioned categories accounted for 93.0%, 1.0%, 1.3% and 4.7%, respectively, of the liquid buffer. All components of liquid buffer are recognized as level 1 of liquid assets.

The main derivatives exposures of Group come from cross currency and fx swaps transactions. These transactions are aimed at obtaining funding in foreign currency (eg. CHF for financing of mortgages) from one side, and are the form of managing of liquidity surplus in currencies (eg. EUR) from the other hand.

LCR calculation include derivative payables and receivables during the next 30 days, posted and received collaterals (margin calls) due to valuation of derivative contracts and additional outflows due to impact of an adverse market scenario on derivative transactions (calculated with the usage of regulatory method of 'historical look back approach').

Notwithstanding the fulfilment of the required LCR limits at the aggregated level for all currencies, the Group maintains the LCR ratio above 100% for the domestic currency (PLN). In the case of the second currency identified as significant within the meaning of the CRR provisions, the periodically occurring mismatches are additionally monitored as part of the adjusted gap analysis and stress scenarios for the EUR currency. The Bank has the option of adjusting the liquidity position in EUR by acquiring liquid funds in this currency on the wholesale financial market, including, inter alia, FX swap transactions on dates beyond the LCR horizon (i.e. over 30 days).

The Group uses secured instruments to fund its activity to a limited degree only. In accordance with the existing contractual provisions, if the Group's rating is reduced no additional security on account of those instruments would be required.

If it is not possible to buy back the shares (e.g. illiquidity of the shares on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, share prices going beyond the thresholds defined by the General Meeting, lack of the General Meeting's authorisation for the Management Board to buy back shares in a given year of Incentive Plan VII or lack of the General Meeting's decision to create a capital reserve for share buyback in a given year) in the number corresponding to the value of the awards granted, SAN PL will reduce pro-rata the number of shares granted to the participant. The difference between the value of the awards granted and the value of the shares transferred by the Bank to the participants as part of the award will be paid out as a cash equivalent.

Below are the vesting conditions that must be met jointly in a given year:

  • 1.Delivery of at least 50% of the profit after tax (PAT) target of SAN PL for a given year.

  • PAT (profit after tax) of SAN PL Group (excluding Santander Consumer Bank S.A.);
  • ROTE (return on tangible equity expressed as a percentage calculated in line with SAN PL reporting methodology);
  • NPS (Net Promoter Score calculated in line with SAN PL reporting methodology);
  • RORWA (return on risk weighted assets calculated in line with SAN PL reporting methodology);
  • number of customers;
  • number of digital customers.
    1. The participant's performance rating for a given year at the level not lower than 1.5 on the 1–4 rating scale.

In addition, at the request of the Bank's Management Board, the Supervisory Board can decide to grant a retention award to a participant, if the following criteria are met:

1)the participant's average annual individual performance rating is at least 2.0 on the 1–4 rating scale during the period of their participation in Incentive Plan VII;

2)the average annual weighted performance against the Bank's targets in the years 2022–2026 is at least 80%, taking into account the following weights:

  • a) 40% for the average annual performance against the PAT target;
  • b) 40% for the average annual performance against the RORWA target;
  • c) 20% for the average annual performance against the ESG target.
