These forward-looking statements are found in various places throughout this presentation and include, without limitation, statements concerning our future business development and economic performance and our shareholder remuneration policy. While these forward-looking statements represent our judgment and future expectations concerning the development of our business, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from our expectations. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) general market, macro-economic, industry, governmental and regulatory trends; (2) movements in local and international securities markets, currency exchange rates and interest rates; (3) competitive pressures; (4) technological developments; and (5) changes in the financial position or credit worthiness of our customers, obligors and counterparties. Numerous factors, including those reflected in the Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America (the "SEC") –under "Key Information-Risk Factors"- and in the Documento de Registro de Acciones filed with the Spanish Securities Market Commission (the "CNMV") –under "Factores de Riesgo"- could affect the future results of Santander and could result in other results deviating materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

The businesses included in each of our geographic segments and the accounting principles under which their results are presented here may differ from the included businesses and local applicable accounting principles of our public subsidiaries in such geographies.

Important Information

In addition to the financial information prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), this presentation includes certain alternative performance measures as defined in the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority on 5 October 2015 (ESMA/2015/1415es) as well as Non-IFRS measures. The APMs and Non-IFRS Measures are performance measures that have been calculated using the financial information from the Santander Group but that are not defined or detailed in the applicable financial information framework and therefore have neither been audited nor are capable of being completely audited. These APMs and Non-IFRS Measures are been used to allow for a better understanding of the financial performance of the Santander Group but should be considered only as additional information and in no case as a replacement of the financial information prepared under IFRS. Moreover, the way the Santander Group defines and calculates these APMs and Non-IFRS Measures may differ to the way these are calculated by other companies that use similar measures, and therefore they may not be comparable. For further details of the APMs and Non-IFRS Measures used, including its definition or a reconciliation between any applicable management indicators and the financial data presented in the consolidated financial statements prepared under IFR, see Section 26 of the Documento de Registro de Acciones for Banco Santander filed with the CNMV on 4 July 2017 (available on the web page of the CNMV -www.cnmv.es- and at Banco Santander -www.santander.com), Item 3A of the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2017, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on 28 March 2018 (the "Form 20-F") and section Alternative Performance Measures of the Financial Report for the first quarter of 2018 (available at Banco Santander –www.santander.com). For a discussion of the accounting principles used in translation of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities to euros, see note 2(a) to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report for 2017 available on the CNMV's website (www.cnmv.es) and on Banco Santander's website (www.santander.com) and also included in our annual report on Form 20-F

  • Efficiency: Operating expenses / gross income. Operating expenses defined as general administrative expenses + amortisations

CAPITALISATION

Tangible net asset value per share – TNAV: Tangible stockholders' equity / number of shares (excluding treasury shares). Tangible stockholders' equity calculated as shareholders equity + accumulated other comprehensive income - intangible assets

Notes: 1) The averages for the RoTE and RoRWA denominators are calculated on the basis of four months from December to March.

2) For periods of less than a year, and in the event of non-recurring results existing, the profit used to calculate the RoTE is the annualised underlying attributable profit (excluding non-recurring results), to which are added non-recurring results without annualising them.

3) For periods of less than a year, and in the event of non-recurring results existing, the profit used to calculate the RoRWA is the consolidated annualised result (excluding non-recurring results), to which is added non-recurring results without annualising them.

4) The risk-weighted assets included in the RoRWA denominator are calculated in accordance with the criteria defined by the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR).
