Important information
Non-IFRS and alternative performance measures
This presentation contains financial information prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and taken from our consolidated financial statements, as well as alternative performance measures (APMs) as defined in the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 October 2015, and other non-IFRS measures. The APMs and non-IFRS measures were calculated with information from Grupo Santander; however, they are neither defined or detailed in the applicable financial reporting framework nor audited or reviewed by our auditors. We use these APMs and non-IFRS measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. We consider them to be useful metrics for our management and investors to compare operating performance between periods. APMs we use are presented unless otherwise specified on a constant FX basis, which is computed by adjusting comparative period reported data for the effects of foreign currency translation differences, which distort period-on-period comparisons. Nonetheless, the APMs and non-IFRS measures are supplemental information; their purpose is not to substitute IFRS measures. Furthermore, companies in our industry and others may calculate or use APMs and non-IFRS measures differently, thus making them less useful for comparison purposes. APMs using ESG labels have not been calculated in accordance with the Taxonomy Regulation or with the indicators for principal adverse impact in SFDR. For further details on APMs and Non-IFRS Measures, including their definition or a reconciliation between any applicable management indicators and the financial data presented in the consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS, please see the 2023 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on 21 February 2024 (https://www.santander.com/content/dam/santander-com/en/documentos/informacion-sobreresultados-semestrales-y-anuales-suministrada-a-la-sec/2024/sec-2023-annual-20-f-2023-en.pdf), as well as the section "Alternative performance measures" of Banco Santander, S.A. (Santander) Q1 2024 Financial Report, published on 30 April 2024 (https://www.santander.com/en/shareholders-and-investors/financial-and-economic-information#quarterly-results). Underlying measures, which are included in this document, are non-IFRS measures.
The businesses included in each of our geographic segments and the accounting principles under which their results are presented here may differ from the businesses included and local applicable accounting principles of our public subsidiaries in such geographies. Accordingly, the results of operations and trends shown for our geographic segments may differ materially from those of such subsidiaries.
Non-financial information
This presentation contains, in addition to financial information, non-financial information (NFI), including environmental, social and governance-related metrics, statements, goals, commitments and opinions.
NFI is not audited nor reviewed by an external auditor. NFI is prepared following various external and internal frameworks, reporting guidelines and measurement, collection and verification methods and practices, which are materially different from those applicable to financial information and are in many cases emerging and evolving. NFI is based on various materiality thresholds, estimates, assumptions, judgments and underlying data derived internally and from third parties. NFI is thus subject to significant measurement uncertainties, may not be comparable to NFI of other companies or over time or across periods and its inclusion is not meant to imply that the information is fit for any particular purpose or that it is material to us under mandatory reporting standards. NFI is for informational purposes only and without any liability being accepted in connection with it except where such liability cannot be limited under overriding provisions of applicable law.

In addition, the important factors described in this presentation and other risk factors, uncertainties or contingencies detailed in our most recent Form 20-F and subsequent 6-Ks filed with, or furnished to, the SEC, as well as other unknown or unpredictable factors, could affect our future development and results and could lead to outcomes materially different from what our forward-looking statements anticipate, expect, project or assume.
Forward-looking statements are therefore aspirational, should be regarded as indicative, preliminary and for illustrative purposes only, speak only as of the date of this presentation, are informed by the knowledge, information and views available on such date and are subject to change without notice. Santander is not required to update or revise any forward-looking statements, regardless of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Santander does not accept any liability in connection with forward-looking statements except where such liability cannot be limited under overriding provisions of applicable law.

Past performance does not indicate future outcomes
Statements about historical performance or growth rates must not be construed as suggesting that future performance, share price or results (including earnings per share) will necessarily be the same or higher than in a previous period. Nothing in this presentation should be taken as a profit and loss forecast.

- We are focused on strengthening our leadership in auto and non-auto through strategic alliances and better service through new operational leasing and non-auto BNPL platforms
- Loans rose 6% YoY, mainly driven by Auto (+7%). Customer deposits increased 21%, in line with our strategy to decrease our funding costs and reduce margin volatility across the interest rate cycle
- Revenue up 5% YoY, mainly driven by NII, as we actively repriced loans and grew customer deposits. Strong increase in fees, driven by insurance in France and Germany
- Profit down QoQ affected by seasonality, lower gains on financial transactions (down from high levels in 2023), and higher LLPs following portfolio sales in Q4'23

- Focus on transformation, leveraging the strengths of our businesses in the US and Mexico and enhancing our regional operating model in T&O
- Solid loan growth, particularly in Mexico. Deposits are also increasing, mainly driven by Retail in Mexico and Consumer in the US
- Revenue up 8% YoY driven by NII in Mexico (higher volumes) and strong performance of our CIB business across the region, particularly in the US
- Costs grew, impacted by inflation and investments in transformation, CIB build out in the US and digitalization, partially offset by the efficiencies captured in Retail and Consumer in the US
- Profit decreased slightly YoY as the strong revenue performance was offset by higher costs and LLPs, which were affected by expected normalization
- Strong profit growth QoQ driven by revenue in CIB and Wealth in the US, better sequential LLPs (seasonality in Auto) and cost improvements, mainly in Mexico

- We are focused on being the primary bank for our 75 million customers, on becoming the most profitable in each of our countries and on enhancing service quality
- Loans grew both QoQ and YoY, mainly in Brazil (Retail and Consumer) and Chile, with time deposits and mutual funds increasing also QoQ and YoY
- Profit increased YoY, as strong NII growth across countries was mostly offset by higher costs (inflation and salary agreements) and higher provisions, affected by volumes
- Significant efficiency gains (-2pp) and controlled CoR (+5bps) YoY
- Profit up 15% QoQ driven by good performance of the main revenue lines, lower provisions and devaluation of the Argentine peso in Q4'23
