Positive
- H1 2025 attributable profit up 13% YoY, fifth consecutive quarterly record.
- CET1 ratio improved to 13.0%, providing 334 bps buffer over minimum requirements.
- Efficiency ratio 41.5%, best in 15 years, reflecting cost discipline.
- Poland partial disposal unlocks ~€7 bn cash and supports planned €3.2 bn buyback.
- Shareholder returns rising: €6.3 bn 2024 payout; up to €10 bn buybacks targeted 2025-26.
Negative
- Reported net interest income fell 3.8% YoY, pressured by Argentina and lower rates.
- Loans and deposits declined 5-7% reported due to Poland reclassification and muted demand.
- Brazil macro update triggered €467 mn one-off provisions, signalling emerging-market sensitivity.
- Major transactions (Poland sale, TSB purchase) still require multiple regulatory approvals, introducing execution risk.
Insights
TL;DR: Profit momentum, capital strength and efficiencies outshine softer NII.
Santander’s H1 figures confirm the bank is executing on cost discipline and capital generation. Earnings rose double-digit despite rate headwinds, helped by diversified fee engines and stable provisions. CET1 at 13% provides room for sizable buybacks and the Poland deal crystallises value. Guidance appears achievable: RoTE already at 16% vs. ~16.5% FY target. Key watch-points are NII pressure in Argentina/Europe, integration risk from TSB and regulatory approvals for Polish sale.
TL;DR: Credit metrics steady; Brazil provisioning and Cards risk need monitoring.
Cost of risk stayed at 1.14% and NPLs fell, underpinned by collateralised retail books and active write-offs. Coverage climbed to 67%. However, higher provisioning in Brazil and Payments hints at sensitivity to emerging-market macro. CET1 headroom of 334 bps above MDA is comfortable. Upcoming disposals and TSB buy tighten execution timelines but should be capital-neutral. Overall risk profile remains medium-low.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE PERIOD
In Q2 2025, Santander announced the entry into an agreement with Erste Group Bank AG (Erste) to sell approximately 49% of its stake in Santander Bank Polska S.A. and the 50% of the asset management company (TFI) which was not integrated within Santander Polska to Erste, for a total cash amount of approximately EUR 7 billion. In addition, Santander announced its intention to acquire 100% of Santander Consumer Bank Polska by purchasing the 60% stake currently held by Santander Bank Polska S.A. (approximately EUR 0.7 billion), thereby bringing the business fully within the perimeter of Grupo Santander and excluding it from the scope of the sale. Santander and Erste also announced a strategic collaboration to leverage the strengths and international presence of both institutions in Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) and to enable Erste to benefit from Santander’s global payments platforms. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, such as that of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF). Completion is expected around the end of 2025. The abovementioned transaction will hereinafter be referred to as the 'Poland disposal', based on the assumption that it will be completed under the terms described above.
In accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, the business subject to the Poland disposal has been classified as 'non-current assets/liabilities held for sale' and the related results have been reported under 'discontinued operations'. Accordingly:
•In the Group’s consolidated balance sheet, the assets associated with the Poland disposal are classified under the 'non-current assets held for sale' line item and the related liabilities under 'liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale'. This classification applies solely to the balance sheet as at 30 June 2025 and does not affect balance sheets for prior periods.
•In the statutory income statement, the results associated with the business subject to the Poland disposal are reported under a single line in the consolidated income statement — 'profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations' — for results corresponding to both 2025 and 2024. Consequently, the results from the Poland disposal perimeter are excluded line by line from the breakdown of continuing operations in both periods.
However:
•In the underlying income statement, both at the Group and the primary and secondary segment levels (which are presented on an underlying basis only), the results from Poland continue to be reported line by line and disaggregated, as they were in previous quarterly disclosures given the fact that the management of Santander Polska remains unchanged until the Poland disposal is completed. This reporting approach is consistent with the information used internally in management reporting, as well as with other public Group disclosures.
•For the same reason, all management metrics included in this report have been calculated including Poland, i.e. maintaining the same perimeter that existed at the time of the announcement of the Poland disposal. However, if we were to exclude Poland, the Group's main management ratios would not be materially affected.
For further information, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in the appendix to this report.
Additionally, after the close of Q2 2025, Santander announced it has reached an agreement to acquire 100% of TSB Banking Group plc's (TSB) share capital from Banco de Sabadell, S.A. (Sabadell) with a valuation of GBP 2.65 billion (approximately EUR 3.1 billion) in an all-cash transaction.

GROUP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
General background
Grupo Santander's operating environment in Q2 2025 was characterized by a moderate global economic slowdown, with falling interest rates and a decline in inflation across most of our footprint. Labour markets continued to have relatively low unemployment rates across most of our countries. Geopolitical and commercial tensions remained and there was increased volatility in global financial markets. In the second half of the year, we expect the main macroeconomic trends to continue and commercial and geopolitical uncertainty to persist.
Country | GDP Change1 | Economic performance | |||||||||
 | Eurozone | +1.5% | GDP growth in Q1 2025 surprised on the upside, driven by a pick up in goods exports to the US before tariff increases came into effect. As a result, part of this growth is expected to reverse in the coming quarters. Inflation stabilized at the ECB's target (2% in June), allowing for an additional cut in official interest rates to 2% in June. In the labour market, the unemployment rate remained at historic lows (6.3% in May). | ||||||||
 | Spain | +2.8% | In Q2 2025, the Spanish economy maintained the positive signs seen of the beginning of the year, pointing to solid growth, albeit more contained in the year, as a whole driven by internal demand. The labour market remained strong, with the number of people enrolled in social security at record levels. Inflation rose year-on-year to 2.3% in June, driven by energy and food prices. | ||||||||
 | United Kingdom | +1.3% | After an excellent Q1 2025 boosted by bringing forward exports in anticipation of US tariff increases, GDP contracted in April. The recent performance of economic indicators suggests a weaker second quarter. The labour market continued to cool, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.7% in April and wage growth moderating to 5.0% in May. In June, inflation grew slightly to 3.6% and core inflation increased to 3.7%. In this context, the Bank of England cut rates to 4.25% in May. | ||||||||
 | Portugal | +1.6% | The economy shrank in Q1 2025 due to lower private consumption, gross capital formation and exports. National accounts show that household savings remained high (12.3% of disposable income) and household consumption remained low despite higher salaries. Employment growth accelerated and the unemployment rate fell to 6.3% in May. Headline inflation rose to 2.4% in June, showing some rigidity in certain components. | ||||||||
 | Poland | +3.2% | The economy returned to growth above 3% in Q1 2025, a trend likely to continue in the coming quarters driven by the recovery in the investment cycle. The labour market remained strong, with the unemployment rate at low levels (5.1% in June). The slowdown in wage growth improved inflation expectations for 2025. In June, inflation eased to 4.1% year-on-year (4.9% in March), allowing the central bank to cut interest rates to 5.25% in May and to 5.0% in July. | ||||||||
 | United States | +2.0% | The economy remained solid, with few signs of tariff-driven inflation so far. However, the increase in tariffs is expected to eventually push inflation higher and dampen economic activity. There are signs that consumption is moderating and that the front-loading of purchases to avoid tariff hikes is reversing. The labour market is cooling gradually, with the unemployment rate at 4.1% in June. The Fed held interest rates, waiting on more visibility regarding the final impact from tariffs. | ||||||||
 | Mexico | +0.8% | The economy remained weak at the beginning of Q2 2025, after a brief rebound at the end of Q1 2025, related to early exports ahead of tariff increases. The labour market remained resilient, with low unemployment (2.7%), although job creation stalled. The annual inflation rate, both headline and core inflation, picked up in the quarter to 4.3% and 4.2%, respectively in June. The central bank continued to cut the official interest rate in its two latest meetings, -100 bps in total to 8% in June, and suggested further cuts in the future, but potentially at a more gradual pace. | ||||||||
 | Brazil | +2.9% | The economy slowed at the beginning of Q2 2025, though it maintained strong momentum in the services sector and a very low unemployment rate (below 7%). The annual inflation rate moderated, but remained high (5.4% in June) and medium-term expectations remained above target. The central bank continued its cycle of interest rate hikes with two increases in Q2 2025, +75 bps in total to 15%, and suggested that it will now hold rates steady for an extended period. | ||||||||
 | Chile | +2.3% | The economy showed signs of a moderate slowdown in Q2 2025, after the pick up in exports in Q1 2025. Inflation, though still high, is clearly easing (4.1% in June) and is expected to converge towards the central bank of Chile's 3% target in early 2026. The central bank kept interest rates unchanged but suggested that it may resume the rate-cutting cycle that it paused at the end of 2024. | ||||||||
 | Argentina | +5.8% | The economy consolidated its recovery in Q2 2025. Inflation, though elevated, fell further with the monthly rate below 2% in May, unaffected by the sharper pace of ARS depreciation in mid-April after the fixed exchange rate regime was lifted, allowing the exchange rate to float freely between 1,000-1,400 ARS/USD. The agreement signed with the IMF in April, which included the disbursement of additional funds, together with a sound fiscal position, supported the continued decline in inflation expectations. | ||||||||

uIn Q2 2025, profit attributable to the parent was EUR 3,431 million, a fifth consecutive quarterly record, rising 1% compared to Q1 2025. In constant euros, profit rose 4% quarter-on-quarter, with a solid performance in total income (+2%), driven by net interest income, even in a less favourable interest rate environment, and lower provisions, with controlled costs.
uAttributable profit increased 13% compared to H1 2024 to EUR 6,833 million in H1 2025. In constant euros, profit rose 18% boosted by higher total income, due to positive contributions from net interest income and net fee income, with costs flat in real terms and a cost of risk improvement.
Additionally, the year-on-year comparison was favoured by the temporary levy on revenue earned in Spain which was recorded in full in Q1 2024 compared to the quarterly accrual of the banking tax expected for H1 2025 and by the charges in H1 2024 following the discontinuation of the merchant platforms in Germany and Superdigital in Latin America.
uProfit increased double digit year-on-year in most global businesses.
uThese results reflect a strong performance in H1 2025 and put us on track to meet our 2025 targets.
uProfitability improved strongly year-on-year. RoTE (post-AT1) stood at 16.0% in H1 2025, compared to 15.1% in the same period of 2024.
uSustained earnings per share growth, increasing 19% year-on-year to EUR 43.5 cents, boosted by the positive trends in profit and the share buybacks executed in the last 12 months.
uIn terms of business volumes, growth of customer funds continued to outpace loans and advances to customers as we continued to focus on active capital management, disciplined capital allocation and profitable growth.
Gross loans and advances to customers (excluding reverse repos) rose 1% year-on-year in constant euros, supported by increases in Consumer, Payments and Wealth, while in Retail and CIB decreased.
Customer funds (customer deposits excluding repos plus mutual funds) rose 6% year-on-year in constant euros, increasing across global businesses, underpinned by double-digit growth in mutual funds and a rise in deposits in both demand and time deposits.
uIn a less favourable environment than initially expected, shaped by geopolitical and trade tensions, total income was EUR 31 billion, flat year-on-year (+5% in constant euros) and on track to meet our 2025 target. Of note was the positive net interest income performance (+1% in constant euros and +4% excluding Argentina), with most global businesses growing. Higher customer activity and network benefits were reflected in net fee income (+9% in constant euros), growing in most global businesses except Consumer, impacted by new regulation in Germany and the drop in new car registrations in the EU.
uThe structural changes we have implemented to move towards a simpler and more integrated model through ONE Transformation continued to contribute to better costs, efficiency gains and profitable growth. Costs decreased slightly in current euros, in line with our 2025 year-end target. The efficiency ratio improved to 41.5%, the best efficiency ratio in more than 15 years, with notable improvements in Payments and Wealth.
uCredit quality remains robust, supported by positive employment across our footprint. The NPL ratio improved 11 bps year-on-year to 2.91%. Total loan-loss reserves reached EUR 22,441 million, resulting in an NPL coverage ratio of 67%.
uThe Group's cost of risk improved 7 bps year-on-year to 1.14%, in line with our target for 2025. Cost of risk of Retail and Consumer, which accounted for approximately 80% of the Group's net loan-loss provisions, improved to 0.89% and 2.09%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2024.
uAs at end June 2025, the CET1 ratio stood at 13.0%, +0.1 pp quarter-on-quarter. We had 54 bps of capital through attributable profit generation which more than offset the -29 bp impact related to capital distributions (including the deduction for the accrual of shareholder remuneration against profit earned in Q2 2025, in line with our 50% payout target2, and AT1 costs), -6 bps from regulatory headwinds (mostly relating to capital model changes) and -8 bps from markets and others.
Note: in this section, results are presented on an underlying basis and loans and advances to customers, customer funds and other metrics include Poland, in line with previously published quarterly information, i.e. maintaining the same perimeter that existed at the time of the announcement of the Poland disposal. For further information, see the 'Significant events in the period' and 'Alternative performance measures' sections in this report.
1.CET1 ratio on phased-in basis, calculated in accordance with the transitory treatment of the CRR.
2.In line with our current ordinary shareholder remuneration policy of approximately 50% of the Group's reported profit (excluding non-cash, non-capital ratios impact items), divided approximately equally between cash dividends and share buybacks. The implementation of the shareholder remuneration policy is subject to future corporate and regulatory decisions and approvals.

uOn 4 April 2025, the AGM approved a final cash dividend charged against 2024 results in the gross amount of EUR 11.00 cents per share paid on 2 May 2025. Including the interim cash dividend paid in November 2024 (EUR 10.00 cents), the total cash dividend per share paid against 2024 results was EUR 21.00 cents, around 19% more than the dividends paid against 2023 results.
uAdditionally, we completed two share buyback programmes for a total of EUR 3,112 million. The Group has now repurchased more than 14% of its outstanding shares since we began our buybacks in 2021.
uIncluding these cash dividends and share buybacks, total shareholder remuneration against 2024 results was EUR 6,287 million, 13% higher than the remuneration against 2023 results, distributed approximately equally between cash dividends and share buybacks.
uOn 5 May 2025, Santander announced its intention to distribute approximately 50% of the capital that is expected to be released from the Poland disposal, through a share buyback of approximately EUR 3.2 billion in early 2026, as part of additional buybacks to distribute excess capital and, as a result, share buybacks could exceed the intended distribution of up to EUR 10 billion1. We reiterated this objective on 1 July 2025 following the announcement of having reached an agreement to buy TSB.
uAt the end of the quarter, TNAV was EUR 5.50. Including the dividends charged against 2024 results, TNAV per share increased 16% year-on-year.

uIn Consumer, attributable profit was EUR 1,042 million, with 11% growth in profit before tax driven by solid performances in net interest income and provisions. These strong results were offset by the impact of lower fiscal benefits following reduced electric vehicle demand.
uThe efficiency ratio stood at 41.5%, cost of risk improved to 2.09% and RoTE (post-AT1) was 10.4%.
uIn CIB, attributable profit increased double digits to EUR 1,534 million, driven by higher income, supported by a strong net fee income performance, especially in Global Transaction Banking, and higher gains on financial transactions in Q1 2025 in Global Markets.
uThe efficiency ratio stood at 43.7%. RoTE (post-AT1) improved 2.7 pp to 20.8%.
uIn Wealth, attributable profit amounted to EUR 948 million, also rising double-digits, driven by net fee income, the good performance of our joint ventures in Insurance and our Portfolio Investments business.
uThe efficiency ratio improved 1.5 pp to 35.7% and RoTE (post-AT1) was 67.3%.
uIn Payments, attributable profit reached EUR 335 million, boosted by double-digit growth in net interest income and net fee income, with costs falling 1% in real terms, more than offsetting higher provisions in Cards in Brazil and Mexico in part due to higher activity.
uCost of risk was 7.54%. In PagoNxt, EBITDA margin reached 28.8% (+8.7 pp year-on-year).

In accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, results associated with the business subject to the Poland disposal are reported under a single line in the consolidated income statement — 'profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations' — for results in both 2025 and 2024. For further information, see the 'Significant events in the period' section of this report.
Results performance compared to H1 2024
In H1 2025, profit attributable to the parent totalled EUR 6,833 million, after a record Q2 2025 for the fifth record quarter in a row, supported by the good performances of our global businesses.
Compared to the EUR 6,059 million recorded in H1 2024, profit attributable to the parent in H1 2025 was 13% higher year-on-year.
Total income
Total income amounted to EUR 29,182 million, 1% up year-on-year.
•Net interest income (NII) totalled EUR 21,211 million, 4% lower than H1 2024, mainly due to the impact from the sharp fall in interest rates in Argentina on our businesses, especially Retail and CIB, and the decrease in Wealth.
This decline was partially offset by the good performances in Consumer's businesses, driven by active margin management and higher volumes, and Payments, supported by increased activity levels.
| Net interest income | |||||
| EUR million | |||||
•Net fee income amounted to EUR 6,342 million, up 3% compared to H1 2024, with solid performances across all global businesses except Consumer, where DCB Europe's net fee income was impacted by new insurance regulation in Germany and the drop in new car registrations in the EU.
Of note were the increases in CIB, mainly driven by Global Transaction Banking, in Wealth, due to strong performance in Private Banking and Santander Asset Management (SAM), and in Payments, due to higher activity levels.
| Net fee income | |||||
| EUR million | |||||
•Gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities and exchange differences reached EUR 1,032 million (EUR 931 million in H1 2024) mainly driven by higher results in Global Markets in CIB and the Corporate Centre.
•Dividend income was EUR 471 million (EUR 490 million in H1 2024).
•Income from companies accounted for by the equity method reached EUR 332 million, compared to EUR 291 million in H1 2024, driven by strong results in Insurance and the Portfolio Investments business in Wealth.
•Other operating income recorded a loss of EUR 206 million, compared to a EUR 895 million loss in H1 2024, which was affected by the larger hyperinflation adjustment in Argentina and the temporary levy on revenue earned in Spain, which was recorded in full in Q1 2024 (EUR 335 million), whereas in H1 2025 the expected tax on income obtained in Spain for the year accrued under 'Tax expense or income from continuing operations'.
In summary, a resilient performance in total income reflecting our diversification and global scale, even in the current interest rate environment.

Operating expenses
Operating expenses in H1 2025 amounted to EUR 12,364 million, 1% lower year-on-year, reflecting our progress in transformation.
Our cost management continued to focus on structurally improving our efficiency and, as a result, we remain one of the most efficient banks in the world.
We continued to drive our business transformation plan, ONE Transformation, across our footprint, reflected in greater operational leverage and better commercial dynamics.

Provisions or reversal of provisions
Provisions (net of provisions reversals) amounted to EUR 1,250 million. In H1 2024, this line totalled EUR 1,598 million, affected by the charge in PagoNxt following the discontinuation of our Superdigital platform in Latin America.
Impairment or reversal of impairment of financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss (net)
Impairment of financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss (net) was EUR 6,524 million and included provisions which strengthen the balance sheet after having updated macroeconomic parameters in Brazil’s credit provisioning models. In H1 2024, the impairment was EUR 6,275 million.
Impairment on other assets (net)
The impairment on other assets (net) was EUR 147 million. In H1 2024, the impairment on other assets totalled EUR 289 million, including the charges in PagoNxt following the discontinuation of our merchant platform in Germany.
Gains or losses on non-financial assets and investments (net)
Net gains on non-financial assets and investments recorded a loss of EUR 32 million in H1 2025. In H1 2024, net gains were EUR 365 million, which included the capital gain of EUR 352 million generated upon closing the agreement with Sodexo in Brazil.
Negative goodwill recognized in results
In H1 2025, negative goodwill recognized in results was EUR 22 million relating to the acquisition of CrediScotia from Scotiabank which expands Consumer's presence in Peru. There was no negative goodwill recorded in H1 2024.
Gains or losses on non-current assets held for sale not classified as discontinued operations
This item, which mainly includes impairment of foreclosed assets recorded a EUR 217 million gain in H1 2025 which included a capital gain of EUR 231 million from the sale of Santander’s remaining 30.5% stake in CACEIS. In H1 2024, this line recorded a loss of EUR 31 million.
Profit or loss before tax from continuing operations
Profit before tax was EUR 9,104 million in H1 2025, up 4% year-on-year, supported by the solid performance in net fee income, our cost discipline and the impact of the full recognition of the temporary levy on revenue earned in Spain in Q1 2024 (EUR 335 million) in the other operating income line and the charge in H1 2024 following the aforementioned discontinuation of platforms in PagoNxt.
Tax expense or income from continuing operations
Total income tax in H1 2025 amounted to EUR 2,367 million which includes EUR 174 million corresponding to the quarterly accrual of expected tax on income obtained in Spain for the year. In H1 2024, income tax was EUR 2,707 million.
Profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations
Profit from discontinued operations totalled EUR 726 million in H1 2025 and EUR 575 million in H1 2024. This line includes the results associated with the Poland disposal, which increased year-on-year driven by a strong revenue performance and lower provisions.
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests
Profit attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to EUR 630 million in H1 2025 compared to EUR 533 million in H1 2024.
Profit attributable to the parent
Profit attributable to the parent rose to a new record at EUR 6,833 million in H1 2025, compared to EUR 6,059 million in H1 2024. This 13% increase year-on-year, was driven by strong net fee income performances across most of our global businesses and lower costs.
Additionally, this year-on-year comparison was favoured by: i) the full charge in Q1 2024 of the temporary levy on income earned in Spain, compared to the accrual in 2025 of the expected tax on income obtained in Spain for the year, and ii) a EUR 243 million charged in H1 2024 in PagoNxt following the discontinuation of our merchant platforms in Germany and Superdigital in Latin America.

In contrast to the statutory income statement, in the underlying income statement, results obtained in Poland continue to be reported line by line and disaggregated, as they were in previous quarterly disclosures given that the management of Santander Polska remains unchanged until the Poland disposal is completed.
For the same reason, all management metrics included in this report have been calculated including Poland, i.e. maintaining the same perimeter that existed at the time of the announcement of the Poland disposal. For further information, see the 'Significant events in the period' and 'Alternative performance measures' sections in this report.
Results performance compared to H1 2024
The Group presents, both at the total Group level and for each of the business units, the changes in euros registered in the income statement, as well as variations excluding the exchange rate effect (i.e. in constant euros, except for Argentina and any grouping which includes it), understanding that the latter provide a better analysis of the Group’s management. For further information, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.
At the Group level, exchange rates had a negative impact of 4.7 pp on total income and a positive impact of 4.1 pp on administrative expenses and amortizations, mainly due to the depreciation of the Brazilian real and the Mexican peso.
To better understand the business trends, we reclassified certain items under some headings of the underlying income statement.
These reclassifications between the statutory and underlying income statements include:
In H1 2025:
•As previously explained, in the statutory income statement, the results associated with the business subject to the Poland disposal are reported in the 'profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations' line.
However, in the underlying income statement, the results from Poland are disaggregated across the corresponding line items as they were in previous quarterly disclosures.
In H1 2024:
•In the statutory income statement, the results associated with the business subject to the Poland disposal are reported in the 'profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations' line.
However, in the underlying income statement, the results from Poland are disaggregated across the corresponding line items as they were in previous quarterly disclosures.
•The temporary levy on revenue earned in Spain amounted to EUR 335 million in Q1 2024, which was reclassified from total income to other gains (losses) and provisions.
•The recognition of provisions to strengthen the balance sheet in Brazil, amounted to EUR 352 million gross in Q2 2024 (EUR 174 million net of tax and non-controlling interests).

Additionally, regarding results that fall outside the ordinary course of our business and are therefore excluded from underlying income statement:
In H1 2025:
•The ‘net capital gains and provisions’ line includes the following two events of the same value but opposite signs:
•A capital gain in Q2 2025 of EUR 231 million from the sale of Santander’s remaining 30.5% stake in CACEIS, in line with the announcement made in Q4 2024.
•A one-off charge of EUR 467 million in Q2 2025 (EUR 231 million, net of tax and minority interests), which strengthens the balance sheet after having updated macroeconomic parameters in Brazil’s credit provisioning models, in accordance with IFRS 9 regulations, which resulted in increased provisions, reflecting expectations of a more complex economic environment.
In H1 2024:
•There were no impacts outside the ordinary course of our business and therefore no amount was recorded under the ‘net capital gains and provisions’ line.
For further information on the reconciliation between the statutory and underlying income statements, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.
All in all, profit attributable to the parent and underlying profit attributable to the parent were the same, EUR 6,833 million in H1 2025 and EUR 6,059 million in H1 2024. This represents a 13% year-on-year increase,+18% in constant euros.
This year-on-year comparison was favoured by the temporary levy on revenue earned in Spain which was recorded in full in Q1 2024 compared to accrual-based approach applied in 2025 and by the recognition in H1 2024 of the impacts in PagoNxt following the discontinuation of our merchant platforms in Germany and Superdigital in Latin America.
Total income amounted to EUR 31,010 million in H1 2025, flat compared to H1 2024. In constant euros, total income rose 5% year-on-year, as follows:
•Net interest income (NII) performed well, with a 1% year-on-year increase despite a lower interest rate environment and the strong impact of the sharp fall in interest rates in Argentina. Excluding Argentina, NII rose 4%. By business:
•In Retail, NII was flat. Excluding Argentina, it rose 3%, due to good performances in Chile (lower cost of deposits), the UK (driven by higher mortgage lending profitability and lower cost of deposits) and in Mexico and Poland due to higher activity.
•In Consumer, NII rose 5% supported by our good margin management across key markets and also by higher volumes in DCB Europe and South America and the CrediScotia acquisition in Peru.
•In CIB, NII increased 4%, even with a negative impact from Argentina. Excluding it, NII grew 13% driven by the strong increase in activity (Global Markets).
•In Wealth, NII declined 16%, mainly in Private Banking, impacted by the less favourable interest rate environment across most of our markets, despite higher volumes.
•In Payments, NII rose 22%, with growth in both PagoNxt and Cards, boosted by higher activity.
| Net interest income | |||||
| EUR million | |||||
 | constant euros | ||||
•Net fee income grew 9% year-on-year driven by widespread growth across all businesses except Consumer. By business:
•In Retail, net fee income increased 8%, supported by mutual funds, foreign exchange and insurance fees.
•In Consumer, net fee income fell 6%, despite strong growth in the US (auto servicing fees), mainly due to DCB Europe, which was impacted by new insurance regulation in Germany and the drop in new car registrations in the EU.
•In CIB, it increased 9%, driven by the three main business lines, but especially Global Transaction Banking (GTB) and Global Banking (GB) in the US, boosted by our US Banking Build-Out (US BBO) initiative.
•In Wealth, net fee income rose 20%, with good growth in Private Banking and Asset Management due to good commercial dynamics in Spain, Latin America and the US.
•In Payments, net fee income rose 15% boosted by both PagoNxt and Cards driven by higher activity across countries.
This positive net fee income performance keeps us on track to achieve our mid-high single digit growth target for 2025.

•Gains on financial transactions rose 16%, boosted by higher results in Global Markets in CIB, mainly in Brazil and Mexico.
•Other operating income in H1 2025 improved compared to the same period in 2024, driven by a less negative impact from the hyperinflation adjustment in Argentina.

Administrative expenses and amortizations in H1 2025 amounted to EUR 12,865 million, in line with H1 2024 (+4% in constant euros). In real terms (excluding the impact of average inflation and in constant euros), they were flat year-on-year. The efficiency ratio stood at 41.5%, improving 10 bps year-on-year.
Our cost management remained focused on structurally improving our efficiency and maintaining our position as one of the most efficient global banks. We continued to progress with our business model transformation plan, ONE Transformation, which provides greater operational leverage, improving business dynamics and promoting leaner and more agile structures.
By business and in constant euros as follows:
•In Retail, costs were up 2%. In real terms, they fell 1%, reflecting our transformation efforts through the simplification and the implementation of our global platform. The efficiency ratio stood at 39.4%.
•In Consumer, costs increased 3% year-on-year. In real terms, rose 1% as our transformation savings offset our investments in leasing and check-out lending platforms and in Openbank. The efficiency ratio stood at 41.5%.
•In CIB, costs rose 8%, +5% in real terms, due to the investment in new products and capabilities to drive growth. We maintained a leading position among peers with an efficiency ratio of 43.7%.
•In Wealth, costs rose 9%. In real terms, they increased 6%, reflecting our investments to reinforce Private Banking teams and new capabilities to address the increase in commercial activity. The efficiency ratio improved 1.5 pp year-on-year to 35.7%.
•In Payments, costs rose 2% but decreased 1% in real terms, even after investments in platforms in both Cards and PagoNxt. The efficiency ratio stood at 42.2%, a 4.6 pp improvement year-on-year.

Net operating income in H1 2025 amounted to EUR 18,145 million, in line with H1 2024. In constant euros, it rose 5%, underpinned by the good performances in NII, net fee income and gains on financial transactions and a lower impact from the hyperinflation adjustment.

Net loan-loss provisions in H1 2025 amounted to EUR 6,178 million, a 1% decrease year-on-year.
In constant euros, they increased 6%, mainly due to: i) higher provisions in Payments, driven by the strong widespread growth in the Cards portfolio, especially in Brazil and Mexico, which were also impacted by model changes and, in Brazil, by a worse macroeconomic environment, and ii) the increase in provisions at the Corporate Centre to accelerate NPL ratio reductions, improving the Group's credit quality.
The cost of risk stood at 1.14%, in line with the Group’s 2025 target.

Other gains (losses) and provisions registered a of EUR 1,664 million loss, compared to EUR 2,386 million loss in H1 2024. This is mainly due to the charge in H1 2024 following the discontinuation of the aforementioned platforms in PagoNxt and the full recognition of the temporary levy on revenue earned in Spain in Q1 2024, compared to its quarterly accrual in 2025, now in the ‘Tax on profit' line.
Tax on profit amounted to EUR 2,814 million, 3% lower than in H1 2024 (+1% in constant euros) and includes a EUR 174 million charge in H1 2025 corresponding to the quarterly accrual of the tax on revenue expected in Spain for the year.
Profit attributable to the parent in H1 2025 was EUR 6,833 million, 13% more than in H1 2024 (+18% in constant euros).

Underlying results performance compared to the previous quarter
Regarding results that fall outside the ordinary course of our business and are therefore excluded from underlying income statement, in Q2 2025 the ‘net capital gains and provisions’ line includes the two aforementioned events of the same value but opposite signs.
In contrast, in Q1 2025, no impacts outside our ordinary course of business occurred and, therefore, no amount was recorded under the line ‘net capital gains and provisions’.
As a result, underlying profit attributable to the parent and profit attributable to the parent were the same both in Q2 2025, at EUR 3,431 million, and in Q1 2025, at EUR 3,402 million.
Compared to Q1 2025, profit in Q2 2025 increased 1%. In constant euros it increased 4%, by line:
•Total income remained above EUR 15 billion, and increased 2%, with the following breakdown by line:
•Net interest income increased 2%, with solid performances across most businesses, particularly in CIB (+10%) due to double-digit growth in Global Banking (Structured Finance and Syndicated Loans), Consumer, where it rose 4%, mainly due to DCB Europe, though NII in Latin America also performed well, and Payments (+9%) mainly due to higher activity in Cards. Of note was the resilient NII in Retail (+1%), even in a less favourable interest rate environment.
•Net fee income increased 1% quarter-on-quarter as the positive performances across most businesses, particularly in Payments (driven by higher activity), offset weaker results in CIB following an exceptionally strong Q1 2025.
•Gains on financial transactions fell 40%, mainly affected by a weaker quarter in CIB after strong performance in Global Markets in Q1 2025 favoured by higher volatility.
•Operating expenses in Q2 2025 rose 1% quarter-on-quarter, mainly due to the increases in Retail and CIB.
•Net loan-loss provisions decreased 1% driven by good performance in Consumer across its main markets, which more than offset the increase in CIB, impacted by single names.
•Other gains (losses) and provisions recorded a EUR 964 million loss in Q2 2025, compared to a EUR 700 million loss in Q1 2025. This comparison was partly impacted by higher provisions related to the CHF mortgage portfolio in Poland in Q2 2025.

Grupo Santander's balance sheet
As a result of the announcement of the Poland disposal and in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet the assets associated with the Poland disposal are classified under the 'non-current assets held for sale' line item and the related liabilities under 'liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale'. This classification applies solely to the balance sheet as at 30 June 2025 and does not affect prior periods, which therefore limits the comparability of the balance sheets presented below.

Loans and advances to customers
Loans and advances to customers stood at EUR 1,010,727 million as at end June 2025, a 5% decrease both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter. Both comparisons are affected by the Poland disposal as, in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements and only as at 30 June 2025, the assets related to the Poland disposal are aggregated under the 'non-current assets held for sale' line.
For the purpose of analysing traditional banking loans, the Group uses gross loans and advances to customers excluding reverse repos. We continue to analyse gross loans and advances to customers excluding reverse repos including Poland, i.e. maintaining the same perimeter that existed at the time of the announcement of the Poland disposal, thereby including Poland's balances. As at end June 2025, gross loans and advances to customers excluding reverse repos, including Poland, totalled EUR 1,002,133 million.
Additionally, the comments below do not include the exchange rate impact (i.e. in constant euros) except for Argentina and any grouping which includes it. For further information, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.
Compared to March 2025, gross loans and advances to customers (excluding reverse repos and including Poland), increased 1% in constant euros with the following detail:
•In Retail, they increased 1% boosted by individuals, both in mortgages (especially in Portugal and Brazil) and personal loans (mainly driven by strong growth in Spain).
•In Consumer, they increased 2% mainly in DCB Europe which more than offset the decrease in the US.

Compared to June 2024, gross loans and advances to customers (excluding reverse repos and including Poland) grew 1% in constant euros, as follows:
•In Retail, they decreased 1%, affected by decreases in SMEs (lower volumes in Spain and the UK) and corporates (in line with our focus on profitability in Spain, the run-off of non-core portfolios in the US and macro impacts in Brazil).
•In Consumer, they rose 2% boosted by the good performance in auto in DCB Europe and double-digit loan growth across our Latin American countries.
•In CIB, they fell 2% as the increase in Global Markets could not compensate the decrease in Global Transaction Banking (mainly in South America).
•They increased 13% in Wealth, particularly in Spain and the US, and were up 18% in Payments, driven by strong volumes growth in Cards, especially in Brazil.
As of June 2025, gross loans and advances to customers excluding reverse repos and including Poland maintained a diversified mix across our footprint, with presence in different countries in Europe (70% of Group's total loans), Latin America (19%) and in the US (11%).

Customer funds
Customer deposits amounted to EUR 1,008,229 million as at end June 2025, down 7% quarter-on-quarter and 3% year-on-year. Both comparisons are affected by the Poland disposal as, in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements and only as at 30 June 2025, the liabilities related to the Poland disposal are aggregated under the 'liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale' line.
The Group uses customer funds (customer deposits excluding repos, plus mutual funds) for the purpose of analysing traditional retail banking funds. We continue to analyse customer funds including Poland, i.e. maintaining the same perimeter that existed at the time of the announcement of the Poland disposal, thereby including Santander Poland's balances. As at end June 2025, they amounted to EUR 1,207,272 million.
The comments below do not include the exchange rate impact (i.e. in constant euros), except for Argentina and any grouping which includes it. For further information, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in this report.
Compared to March 2025, customer funds including Poland increased 1% in constant euros, with the following detail:
•By product, customer deposits excluding repos rose 1%, with demand deposits rising (+1%) and time deposits decreasing (-1%). Positive momentum continued in mutual funds (+2%).
•By business, customer funds grew in Retail (+2%), Consumer (+1%) and Wealth (+1%), which more than offset the decreases in CIB (-4%) and Payments (-8%).
Compared to June 2024, customer funds were 6% higher in constant euros:
•By product, deposits excluding repos rose 4%, with growth in both demand (+4%) and time deposits (+3%). Widespread growth in mutual funds, increasing 17%.
•By business, they rose 5% in Retail, driven by double-digit growth in time deposits and mutual funds. They grew strongly in Consumer (+11%) and in line with our deposit gathering strategy. They rose 3% in CIB. In Wealth, they were up 10% driven by mutual funds (+14%). By country, there were generalized increases except in the UK.
As at end June 2025, customer funds (including Poland) maintained a diversified mix across our footprint, with presence in different countries in Europe (70% of Group's total customer funds), Latin America (22%) and the US (8%). The weight of demand deposits as a percentage of total customer funds was 56%, while time deposits accounted for 24% of the total and mutual funds for 20%.

In addition to capturing customer deposits, the Group, for strategic reasons, maintains a selective policy of issuing securities in the international fixed income markets and strives to adapt the frequency and volume of its market operations to the structural liquidity needs of each unit, as well as to the receptiveness of each market.
In H1 2025, the Group's issuances were as follows:
•Medium- and long-term senior debt totalling EUR 11,600 million and covered bonds placed in the market for EUR 4,631 million.
•TLAC eligible instruments issued amounted to EUR 7,407 million, of which EUR 7,058 million was senior non-preferred and EUR 349 million was subordinated debt.
•Maturities of medium- and long-term debt totalled EUR 20,14 million.
The net loan-to-deposit ratio was 99% (103% in June 2024), and the ratio of deposits plus medium- and long-term funding to the Group’s loans was 127%, showing a comfortable funding structure. The Group liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was an estimated 159% in June 2025 (see the 'Risk management' chapter of this report).
The Group's access to wholesale funding markets, as well as the cost of issuances depends, in part, on the ratings granted by the rating agencies.

Moody's confirmed its A2 long-term and P-1 short-term ratings in Q4 2024 and maintained the positive outlook they had previously improved in Q2 2024, following the same movement in the rating of the Kingdom of Spain, and maintaining it two notches above the sovereign.
In Q3 2024, S&P Global confirmed Santander's credit rating at A+ for long-term and A1 for short-term debt. In Q2 2024, S&P rated our AT1 instruments as BBB- (investment grade). They maintained Santander's outlook as stable, in line with the sovereign.
Fitch upgraded Santander's long-term senior rating to A+ in Q1 2025. Fitch and DBRS maintained their stable outlooks, above the sovereign.
Sometimes the methodology applied by the rating agencies limits a bank's rating to the sovereign rating of the country where it is headquartered. Banco Santander, S.A. is still rated above the sovereign debt rating of the Kingdom of Spain by Moody’s, DBRS and S&P and rated at the same level by Fitch, which demonstrates our financial strength and the benefits from our diversification.

| The phased-in CET1 ratio reached 13.0% at the end of June, at the top end of the Group's operating range of 12-13%. | We continued to generate capital organically in the quarter, strongly backed by good profit growth. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
 c | Attributable profit | +54 bps | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| TNAV per share | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
TNAV per share was EUR 5.50, increasing 16% year-on-year including the cash dividends paid in Nov-24 and May-25. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Note: Phased-in ratios are calculated in accordance with the transitory treatment of the CRR. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As at end June 2025, the total phased-in capital ratio (applying the CRR transitional arrangements) stood at 17.2% and the phased-in CET1 ratio at 13.0%, in line with the 13% target for 2025 that we announced in Q4 2024.
We comfortably meet the levels required by the ECB on a consolidated basis, estimated at 13.9% for the total capital ratio and at 9.6% for the CET1 ratio. This resulted in a distance to the maximum distributable amount (MDA) of 304 bps and a CET1 management buffer of 334 bps.
In the quarter, the CET1 ratio increased 0.1 pp. We had 54 bps of capital through attributable profit generation and had a small uplift from net organic RWAs as risk transfer initiatives more than offset an increase in RWAs. There was a -29 bp impact related to capital distributions, including the deduction for the accrual of shareholder remuneration against profit earned in Q2 2025, in line with our 50% payout target1, and AT1 costs. Additionally, there were -6bps from regulatory headwinds (mostly relating to capital model changes) and -8bps in markets and others (mostly minority interests).
Although the CRR3 fully-loaded criteria are not yet fully defined, our current estimate for the fully-loaded CET1 ratio is comfortably above our >12% Investor Day target for 2025 year end.
TNAV per share ended the quarter at EUR 5.50. Including the interim cash dividend paid in November 2024 (EUR 10.00 cents per share) and final cash dividend paid in May (EUR 11.00 cents per share), both charged against 2024 results, TNAV plus cash dividend per share increased 15.6% in the last twelve months (+2.7% in the quarter).
Lastly, the leverage ratio was 4.91%.

In accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, business subject to the Poland disposal has been classified as 'non-current assets/liabilities held for sale' and the results have been reported under 'discontinued operations'.
However, given that until the Poland disposal is completed, the management of Santander Polska remains unchanged, all management metrics included in this report have been calculated including Poland, i.e. maintaining the same perimeter that existed at the time of the announcement of the Poland disposal. This reporting approach is consistent with the information used internally in management reporting, as well as with other public Group disclosures.
Credit risk2
During H1 2025, the environment was characterized by geopolitical tensions, such as the conflict in the Middle East and the development of tariff policies in the US.
The moratorium on new tariffs and the resumption of negotiations mitigated instability in trade, but weaker economic data in the US raised some doubts regarding the economic outlook and credit trends. In Latin America, economies remain resilient. In Europe, economic recovery is progressing at a moderate pace, with greater uncertainty stemming from international trade tensions, which policymakers aim to offset through increased spending in defense and the simplification of the regulatory agenda, to promote private sector investment. The ECB has adopted a neutral-expansionary tone in monetary policy, which is already being reflected in mortgage and consumer portfolios.
Our global and diversified business model, with our strong local presence, provides us with a resilient structure which, together with our prudent risk management, enables us to maintain a medium-low risk profile, even in a more complex environment.
In terms of credit quality, in Q2 2025:
•The NPL ratio improved 9 bps quarter-on-quarter to 2.91%. Credit impaired loans decreased 5% to EUR 33,395 million, driven by favourable exchange rate movements and positive trends across all global businesses. Gross credit risk with customers (total risk) decreased 2%, reaching EUR 1,148 billion, due lower volumes in Retail UK and DCB US.
Year-on-year, the NPL ratio improved 11 bps, backed by lower credit impaired loan volumes, mainly in Retail and CIB, which more than offset a decrease in total risk due to the impact of securitizations.
•Net loan-loss provisions totalled EUR 6,178 million in H1 2025, growing 6% year-on-year in constant euros, mainly due to the increase in Payments (especially in Brazil) and the Corporate Centre, reflecting our strategy to accelerate NPL ratio reductions, improving the Group's credit quality.
Quarter-on-quarter, provisions decreased 1% in constant euros, supported by a good performance in Consumer, mainly in Brazil, DCB Europe and DCB US.

•Cost of risk stood at 1.14%, improving compared to June 2024 and in line with March 2025.
•The NPL coverage ratio increased quarter-on-quarter reaching 67%, with loan-loss allowances of EUR 22,441 million. The coverage ratio remained at comfortable levels considering that 68% of the Group’s portfolio is backed by quality collateral.
Regarding the IFRS 9 stages, the distribution of the portfolio was stable in the quarter in percentage terms, although in absolute terms, stage 3 balances declined in line with the active risk management carried out in Retail Spain, which is improving credit quality.

Our Retail, Consumer, CIB and Payments businesses account for around 97% of the Group's total credit portfolio. Our Wealth business focuses mainly on asset management, investment funds and insurance and has little credit risk exposure. Therefore, the following explanations are focused on the most relevant businesses from a credit risk management point of view:
 | Retail & Commercial Banking | Credit risk exposure | |||||||||
| 55% of total Group | |||||||||||
Retail's portfolio mainly comprises high quality mortgage loans, where 90% of loans have an LTV lower than 80%, and a corporate portfolio in which more than 50% has property collateral or other collateral.
The NPL ratio fell 6 bps in the quarter to 3.06%, driven by lower credit impaired loans, mainly in Europe, with a notable improvement in Spain, supported by write-offs and portfolio sales within the NPL reduction plan. Total risk decreased 2%, mainly due to a decline in the UK.
The cost of risk improved 13 bps compared to June 2024 to 0.89%, mainly supported by lower provisions in European portfolios, particularly: i) in Spain, due to a good performance in mortgages, favoured by lower interest rates, reduced inflationary pressures and a robust labour market and, ii) in Poland, as our CHF mortgage portfolio required lower provisions than in the same period last year. In Mexico, both the mortgage and corporate loan portfolios performed positively year-on-year, due to model updates and single names last year. Compared to the previous quarter, cost of risk improved 2 bps due to lower provisions mainly in Poland and Spain.
The NPL coverage ratio increased slightly in the quarter, reaching 60%. Given the Retail portfolio includes the mortgage portfolios in Spain and the UK, which have high-quality collateral, we consider that coverage is at appropriate levels for the risk of the portfolio.
| Digital Consumer Bank | Credit risk exposure | |||||||||
| 18% of total Group | |||||||||||
The Consumer portfolio mainly comprises auto loans and leasing business, which together account for more than 80% of the portfolio.
The NPL ratio stood at 4.97%, improving 12 bps in the quarter, driven by a decrease in credit impaired loans, mainly supported by portfolio sales in the US and, to a lesser extent, by Brazil. Total risk decreased 2%, with a decline in the US, partially offset by growth in DCB Europe, Argentina and Mexico.
The cost of risk improved 8 bps compared to June 2024, standing at 2.09%, on the back of a good performance in terms of provisions in DCB US and, to a lesser extent, Brazil. Compared to the previous quarter, cost of risk improved 5 bps, supported by lower LLPs, driven by model updates in Brazil and portfolio sales.
The NPL coverage ratio improved 1 pp quarter-on-quarter, reaching 76%, a level we are comfortable with considering more than 80% of the portfolio is auto loans.
| Corporate & Investment Banking | Credit risk exposure | |||||||||
| 21% of total Group | |||||||||||
CIB's business consists of wholesale customers, around 85% of whom have a rating above investment grade. It is a business with a strong advisory component and high value-added solutions and is less intensive in terms of balance sheet activity.
The NPL ratio fell 3 bps in the quarter to 0.71%, with a decrease in credit impaired loans, supported by positive trends in Spain and Poland, which more than offset an increase in Brazil (impacted by a single name). Total risk posted a 2% decline quarter-on-quarter, mainly driven by the US and Brazil.
The cost of risk improved 6 bps compared to June 2024, to 0.09%, backed by almost inexistent provisions in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. Cost of risk was relatively stable quarter-on-quarter (+1 bp).
The NPL coverage ratio improved 6 pp quarter-on-quarter to 45%.

The Payments portfolio encompasses both the exposure associated with payments and transfer processing activities (PagoNxt) as well as the Cards businesses, which are characterized by rapid turnover and returns in line with their level of risk.
The NPL ratio stood at 5.11%, 77 bps below March 2025, driven by a decline in credit impaired loans, especially in Brazil, due to write-offs. Total risk decreased slightly in the quarter, mainly due to Brazil, Chile and, to a lesser extent, Mexico.
The cost of risk rose 51 bps year-on-year, to 7.54%, due to higher provisions (mainly concentrated in Cards). The increase was primarily due to the macroeconomic environment and the impact from changes in provision models in Brazil and Mexico. In the quarter, CoR registered a 2 bp increase.
The NPL coverage ratio rose 5 pp in the quarter to 131%.
Market risk
Markets were mainly influenced by the potential negative impacts on global economic growth from trade policies in the US and geopolitical tensions, including the war in Ukraine, the conflict in Israel and the recent heightened tensions with Iran.
Trading activity in CIB is focused on meeting the needs of our clients. Its risk is measured in terms of daily VaR at 99% and originates from possible movements in interest rates.
In Q2 2025, the average VaR was EUR 18 million, decreasing compared to Q1 2025 and remaining moderately stable during the quarter, in a slightly less volatile environment due to the expectations of trade negotiations that could reduce the potential impact of tariffs on international trade.
By market risk factor, VaR continued to be primarily driven by interest rate risk. The VaR figures remain low compared to the size of the balance sheet and the Group's activity.

Structural and liquidity risk
Structural exchange rate risk
Grupo Santander's structural exchange rate risk mainly arises from foreign currency transactions related to permanent financial investments, their results and associated hedges.
During Q2 2025, the Group's main currencies depreciated against the euro. The US dollar depreciated 8%, given the potential negative impact of tariff policies on its economy.
Our dynamic management of this risk aims to limit the impact on the CET1 capital ratio from exchange rate movements. In the quarter, the coverage of the different currencies impacting this ratio remained close to 100%.
Regarding financial results, the exchange rate hedging strategy is tactical and dynamic, depending on our expectations of the evolution of the different currencies in the various countries where the Group operates.
Structural interest rate risk
Interest rate risk management aims to mitigate potential negative impacts on Santander, both in terms of net interest income and economic value of its equity, due to adverse fluctuations in interest rate curves in the various currencies in which the Group operates.
The Group measures interest rate risk through statistical models based on structural risk mitigation strategies using interest rate instruments, such as fixed-income bond portfolios and derivative instruments, to keep the risk profile within the risk appetite.
In Q2 2025, market interest rates continued to reflect volatility, driven by the expectations of potential progress in negotiations over the new tariff policies in the US and by the divergence in monetary policy adjustments among major central banks (with the US holding its policy rate, while Europe and some Latin American countries implemented cuts).
Despite this volatile environment, our structural debt portfolios continued to perform positively, and structural interest rate risk remained at comfortable levels during the period.
At an aggregate level, Santander maintains positive net interest income sensitivity to interest rate hikes and negative sensitivity in the same scenario for the economic value of its equity.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of not having the necessary liquid financial resources available to meet our obligations as they come due. Losses can be caused by forced asset sales or margin impacts due to the mismatch between expected cash inflows and outflows.
Our strong liquidity position is based on a decentralized model, where each subsidiary is managed autonomously.
In Q2 2025, the Group maintained a comfortable position, with ratios well above regulatory limits, supported by a robust and diversified liquidity buffer.
The Group liquidity coverage ratio (LCR1) ended the quarter at 159%, 3 pp higher than the previous quarter.
Operational risk
Our operational risk profile was stable in Q2 2025 compared to the previous quarter, with a focus on risks associated with suppliers, technology and cyber risk, especially considering the potential impact of geopolitical risks on these areas. There was an increase in operational risk losses quarter-on-quarter. Legal processes continue to be the main cause of these losses, which are concentrated in the Group's Retail business.
The Group constantly monitors the evolution of operational risks in general and, particularly, those arising from transformation plans (including the use of new technologies), external fraud and the most significant legal processes.
1. The Consolidated LCR ratio as at end June 2025 was 147%, comfortably exceeding internal and regulatory requirements. For more information on the calculation of both the Group LCR and the Consolidated LCR, see the “Liquidity and funding management” section of the “Economic and financial review” chapter in the Annual report 2024 published on 28 February 2025.

The Santander share
Dividends and shareholder remuneration
In accordance with the 2024 shareholder remuneration policy, the bank paid a final cash dividend in May charged against 2024 results, amounting to EUR 11.00 cents per share.
Additionally, in application of the shareholder remuneration charged against 2024 results, the second share buyback programme was executed between February and June, for a total amount of EUR 1,587 million. A total of 267,166,950 shares were acquired, representing 1.76% of the share capital. In execution of the resolution adopted at the general shareholders’ meeting held on 4 April 2025, the executive committee carried out the amortization of the repurchased shares and the corresponding share capital reduction on 2 June 2025, as described in the 'Corporate governance' section.
As a result, the total shareholder remuneration charged against 2024 results, including the interim cash dividend of EUR 10.00 cents per share (paid in November 2024) and the first share buyback programme (amounting to EUR 1,525 million, completed in December 2024), amounted to EUR 6,287 million. This is approximately equivalent to 50% of the Group reported profit (excluding non-cash, non-capital ratios impact items) in 2024, distributed approximately 50% in cash dividends and 50% in share buybacks.
As announced on 5 February 2025, the shareholder remuneration policy that the board intends to apply for the 2025 results consists of a total shareholder remuneration of approximately 50% of the Group reported profit (excluding non-cash, non-capital ratios impact items), to be distributed in approximately equal parts between cash dividends and share buybacks.
Additionally, on the same date, the board announced its objective to allocate EUR 10 billion to shareholder remuneration in the form of share buybacks charged against 2025 and 2026 results, as well as anticipated capital excess. This target includes i) the buybacks that form part of the aforementioned shareholder remuneration policy, and ii) additional buybacks following the publication of the full year results, to distribute end-of-year CET1 excess capital.
On 5 May 2025, Santander announced its intention to distribute 50% of the capital released from the disposal of its 49% stake in Santander Bank Polska S.A., through a share buyback of approximately EUR 3.2 billion in early 2026, as part of additional buybacks to distribute excess capital and, as a result, it could exceed the EUR 10 billion target. Upon announcing the agreement to acquire TSB Banking Group plc on 1 July 2025, the bank confirmed its goal to distribute at least EUR 10 billion in share buybacks charged against 2025 and 2026 results and excess capital.
The implementation of the shareholder remuneration policy and the aforementioned share buybacks are subject to future corporate and regulatory decisions and approvals.
Share price performance
Santander's shares are listed on five markets: on four exchanges in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia), in the US (as an ADR), in the UK (as a CDI), in Mexico (Sistema Internacional de Cotizaciones) and in Poland.
Q2 2025 was marked by increased risk appetite and a recovery in the stock market. This rebound was supported by temporary pauses in tariffs with the UK and China, ongoing negotiations with the EU, and a recent US court ruling against certain tariffs. In commodities, gold continued its upward trajectory and reached all-time highs, consolidating its position as one of the strongest safe-haven assets.
In this context, in global financial markets, equity markets performed well with widespread gains. As of 30 June 2025, Santander’s share price had increased by 57.4%, significantly outperforming the performance of both the sector and the broader European market.
In the banking sector, the Eurostoxx Banks, the eurozone's main index, increased 37.6% year to date, while the DJ Stoxx Banks rose 29.1% and the MSCI World Banks increased 21.9%. The other main indices also closed up in the quarter, but rose less (Ibex 35 +20.7% and DJ Stoxx 50 +3.4%).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY SEGMENT
Description of segments
We base segment reporting on financial information presented to the chief operating decision maker, which excludes certain statutory results items that distort year-on-year comparisons and are not considered for management reporting. This financial information (underlying basis) is computed by adjusting reported results for the effects of certain gains and losses (e.g. capital gains, write-downs, impairment of goodwill, etc.). These gains and losses are items that management and investors ordinarily identify and consider separately to better understand the underlying trends in the business.
The Group has aligned the information in this chapter with the underlying information used internally for management reporting and with that presented in the Group's other public documents.
Santander's executive committee has been selected to be its chief operating decision maker. The Group's operating segments reflect its organizational and managerial structures. The Group's executive committee reviews internal reporting based on these segments to assess performance and allocate resources.
The segments are split by global business and by country in which profits are earned. We prepare the financial information by aggregating the figures for Santander’s global businesses and countries, relating it to both the accounting data of the business units integrated in each segment and that provided by management information systems. The same general principles as those used in the Group are applied.
Main changes to the composition of Santander's segments in 2025
The main changes, which we announced in the Q1 2025 results publications and that we are applying to the management information for all periods included in these consolidated financial statements, are as follows:
•To better align reporting with the changes to the management structure in Wealth Management & Insurance, investment platforms (Investment Platforms Unit) and certain stakes in companies, mainly in the real estate sector, that were previously recorded in Retail & Commercial Banking or Corporate & Investment Banking have been incorporated into Wealth Management & Insurance. We have therefore incorporated a new vertical, Portfolio Investments, focusing on the management of said investment platforms and stakes that complement Wealth's traditional business, enhancing the product and service offering for our clients.
•Some profit sharing criteria between Retail & Commercial Banking and Cards have been improved, aligning criteria across the Group.
•Additionally, we completed the usual annual adjustment of the perimeter of the Global Customer Relationship Model between Retail & Commercial Banking and Corporate & Investment Banking and between Retail & Commercial Banking and Wealth Management & Insurance.
•In secondary segments, as part of our transformation strategy and after a year with our five global businesses in full operation, the board of directors approved the dissolution of the regional structures, having fulfilled their mission to support the transition to the global operating model. As a result, we no longer report regional information and the secondary segments are structured into the ten main units (nine countries and DCB Europe), the Corporate Centre and ‘Rest of the Group’, which includes everything that is not already included in the mentioned units.
None of the changes described above impact the Group's reported global figures in the consolidated financial statements.

Secondary segments
Following the dissolution of the regional management structures at the beginning of 2025, this secondary level includes our main geographical units. Detailed financial information is provided on Spain, the UK, Portugal, Poland, DCB Europe, which includes Santander Consumer Finance (the entire consumer finance business in Europe), Openbank in Europe and ODS, the US, which includes the holding company (SHUSA) and the businesses of Santander Bank (SBNA), Santander Consumer USA (SC USA), the specialized business unit Banco Santander International, the New York branch and Santander US Capital Markets (SanCap), Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina. Information is also provided on the Corporate Centre and ‘Rest of the Group’, which brings together everything that is not included in the aforementioned geographical units or the Corporate Centre.
The Corporate Centre includes the centralized activities relating to equity stakes in financial companies, financial management of the structural exchange rate position, assumed within the sphere of the Group’s assets and liabilities committee, as well as management of liquidity and of shareholders’ equity via issuances.
As the Group’s holding entity, this area manages all capital and reserves and allocations of capital and liquidity with the other businesses. It also incorporates goodwill impairment but not the costs related to the Group’s central services (charged to the areas), except for corporate and institutional expenses related to the Group’s functioning.
The businesses included in each of the segments in this report and the accounting principles under which their results are presented here may differ from the businesses included and accounting principles applied in the financial information separately prepared and disclosed by our subsidiaries (some of which are publicly listed) which in name or geographical description may seem to correspond to the business areas covered in this report. Accordingly, the results of operations and trends shown for our business areas in this document may differ materially from those of such subsidiaries. The results of our segments included in this section are presented only on an underlying basis in accordance with IFRS 8. Therefore, the following information, at both the Group and the primary and secondary segment levels (which are only presented on an underlying basis), includes Poland's results reported line by line as they were in previous quarterly disclosures, given that the management of Santander Polska remains unchanged until the Poland disposal is completed. This reporting approach is consistent with the information used internally in management reporting, as well as with other public Group disclosures. For the same reason, all management metrics included in this report have been calculated including Poland, i.e. maintaining the same perimeter that existed at the time of the announcement of the Poland disposal. For further information, see the 'Alternative performance measures' section in the appendix to this report. The results of our segments presented below are provided on the basis of underlying results only and include the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. However, for a better understanding of the changes in the performance of our business areas, we also provide and discuss the year-on-year changes to our results excluding such exchange rate impacts (i.e. in constant euros), except for Argentina, and any grouping which includes it, where the variations in constant euros have been calculated considering the Argentine peso exchange rate on the last working day for each of the periods presented. For further information, see methodology in the 'Alternative performance measures' section in the appendix to this report. Certain figures contained in this report, have been subject to rounding to enhance their presentation. Accordingly, in certain instances, the sum of the numbers in a column or a row in tables contained in this report may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column or row. | ||

Strategy
In Q2 2025, we continued to make progress in the execution of our strategic priorities, consolidating our vision of being a digital bank with branches, leveraging a common operating model and a global technology platform.
We are successfully executing our strategic business priorities:
•Transformation of our operating model, which leverages our unique combination of the Group's global scale and local presence, based on three pillars:
•Customer experience. We continued to drive product digitalization and optimize customer journeys, resulting in double-digit year-on-year growth in digital sales. In Brazil, for example, our new digital capabilities enable us to offer hyper-personalized solutions, improving sales conversion. In addition, we continued to implement the new branch and WorkCafé model.
•Operational leverage. We continued to simplify and digitalize processes while promoting leaner and more agile structures. This enabled us to reduce non-commercial FTEs per million customers by 14% year-on-year. Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining prominence in automation, enabling more efficient processes and lower operational burden, supported by solutions such as Zenith, our proprietary AI-based tool.
•Global Technology Platform. All of our units continue to accelerate their convergence towards a common platform. The volume of transactions processed through Gravity, our back-end technology, continued to increase, while we enhanced digital experience through ODS, our cloud-based front-end solution, activated global products and significantly reduced time-to-market. In Spain, we completed the integration of Gravity bringing as closer to becoming the first major Western bank operating 100% in the cloud, improving digital channel response
times and reducing costs. With this milestone, together with the deployment of Gravity in Chile at the beginning of the year, 14% of our active customers already benefit from back-end technology. In addition, in Spain we finished the deployment of our global commercial tool in the branch network, improving agent productivity and product sales, which is already reflected in improved customer experience.
•Transformation of the business model. We are deepening value creation and positioning the customer at the centre of our management:
•We provide a better customer experience through a simpler and tailored offering and with hyper-personalization capabilities for our key segments, as well as a greater commercial focus. This enables us to build stronger relationships with our customers. In Spain, for example, we launched a new value proposition for Select customers, with exclusive advantages to improve their experience, which is also available for other customer segments through subscription.
•We differentiate ourselves by promoting the network effect to better serve our customers. By taking advantage of Group capabilities, we offer a complete value propositions to our Retail customers. A good example was the incorporation of Ebury and Tresmares products and services. Moreover, total income continued to increase in our business with multinationals and is another example of how our scale enables us to offer integrated and differentiated solutions.
•Structural efficiency improvement. The transformation of our operating and business model continued to drive structural efficiency improvements through greater commercial power, focusing on expanding value-added services, together with operational leverage and common technology.

Business performance
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos and in constant euros, decreased 1% year-on-year, affected by declines in SMEs and corporates.
In individuals, there were reductions in mortgage portfolios in the UK, in line with our focus on profitability and capital optimization, in Spain, still impacted by prepayments, and in Chile due to lower demand. These declines were offset by good performances in mortgages in the other countries and personal loans especially in Spain, Argentina and Poland.
SME loans were affected by lower volumes in Spain and the UK, with positive dynamics across the rest of our footprint. Corporate loans declined in Spain, in line with our focus on profitability, in the US, due to the run-off of non-core portfolios, and in Brazil, affected by the macro environment.
Customer deposits, excluding repos and in constant euros, grew 3% year-on-year, driven by good performances in most countries. By product, there was a 14% increase in time deposits with good performances in most countries in Europe and South America. Demand deposits were stable, increasing across the board except in the UK and Brazil. Mutual funds rose 18% year-on-year in constant euros, with positive performances in most countries. Overall, customer funds increased 5% year-on-year in constant euros.

Results
Attributable profit in H1 2025 was EUR 3,687 million, 9% higher year-on-year, in part favoured by the temporary levy on revenue earned in Spain recorded in full in Q1 2024 (accrued quarterly in 2025). In constant euros profit rose 14% year-on-year, by line:
•Total income increased 2%, mainly driven by positive performances in net fee income and a lower hyperinflation adjustment in Argentina.
Net interest income also performed well, improving in a complex environment across most countries. However, it was flat year-on-year due to Argentina, which was heavily impacted by the decline in interest rates in the last twelve months. If we exclude Argentina, net interest income increased 3%, driven by a lower cost of deposits in Chile, higher mortgage profitability and a lower cost of deposits in the UK, volumes and lower cost of deposits in Mexico and higher activity in Poland.
Our more targeted products and services offering contributed to 8% net fee income growth, mainly driven by insurance, mutual funds and FX. By country, net fee income increased particularly in Argentina, Mexico and the UK.

•Costs increased 2% year-on-year. In real terms, they decreased 1%, reflecting our transformation efforts through organizational simplification, process automation and the roll out of our global platform.
•Net loan-loss provisions continued to perform well, in line with last year as improvements, mainly in Poland and Mexico, offset the rises in Brazil, impacted by the macro environment, Argentina, due to higher volumes, and normalization in the UK.
Cost of risk was 0.89% (13 bps lower year-on-year) and the NPL ratio improved to 3.06% (3.14% in June 2024).
RoTE (post-AT1) in H1 2025 was 17.2%, a 0.2 pp improvement year-on-year.
Compared to Q1 2025, the good net operating income performance (+1% in constant euros, from already high levels in Q1 2025), driven by higher NII, was not reflected in profit, due to higher provisions related to the CHF mortgage portfolio in Poland.

Commercial activity and business performance
In H1 2025, market share growth in payrolls and pension funds, together with the increase in customers using Bizum, supported the above-market increase in transactionality and reflects our progress in our business transformation.
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos, decreased 2% year-on-year affected by the decrease in SMEs and corporates, in line with our focus on active risk management and balance sheet optimization, partially offset by an improvement in personal loans.
Customer deposits, excluding repos, increased 4% year-on-year mainly due to demand deposits driven by our new value proposition for Select customers. Mutual funds increased 14%. As a result, customer funds rose 6%.
Results
Profit before tax in H1 2025 reached EUR 1,647 million, 25% higher than in H1 2024, partially driven by impact of the temporary levy on revenue earned in Spain, which was recorded in full in Q1 2024 (accrued quarterly in 2025). By line:
•Total income decreased 1%, mainly due to the decline in net interest income in a lower interest rate environment. Net fee income was flat, as the increase in fees from commercial activity, mainly mutual funds, offset a regulatory change affecting instant transfers.
•Costs increased slightly (+1%). In real terms, costs declined, benefitting from process automation and greater digital adoption. The efficiency ratio was 32.0%.
•Net loan-loss provisions decreased 6%, mainly due to the good portfolio performance and active risk management, which improved credit quality.
In the quarter, profit before tax increased 3%, as the good performance in net loan-loss provisions, driven by better credit quality and lower costs, more than offset net interest income pressure in a lower interest rate environment.

Commercial activity and business performance
In H1 2025, we made progress in our transformation programme through digitalization and automation, which helped simplify the business and improve efficiency.
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos and in constant euros, decreased 2% year-on-year due to mortgages, in line with balance sheet optimization strategy. However, the trend has been positive since the beginning of the year, with a progressive recovery driven by new business volumes.
Customer deposits, excluding repos and in constant euros, fell 1%, mainly due to a drop in demand deposits, with a change of mix towards time deposits. Mutual funds decreased 2% year-on-year in constant euros. As a result, customer funds declined 1% in constant euros.
Results
Profit before tax in H1 2025 reached EUR 678 million, 12% lower than in H1 2024. In constant euros, profit before tax decreased 13%, by line:
•Total income increased 4%, mainly due to a good net interest income performance, driven by higher mortgage yields and a lower cost of deposits.
•Costs fell 4%, boosted by process automation and our efforts to simplify the operating model. Overall, net operating income grew 14% and the efficiency ratio improved 4.0 pp to 54.1%.
•Net loan-loss provisions increased but remained at low levels, due to LLP normalization.
•Other gains (losses) and provisions recorded more negative results, due to impacts related to transformation charges.
In the quarter, profit before tax decreased 4% in constant euros, due to the mentioned cost of risk normalization and the impact of lower interest rates on net interest income, with stable costs.

Commercial activity and business performance
In H1 2025, we made great strides in the transformation of our operating model. 74% of our active customers use digital channels and, at the same time, the number of digital customers increased 9% year-on-year.
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos and in constant euros, increased 5% year-on-year, driven by generalized increases in most products, especially in the mortgage portfolio (+7%), where we have a market share of 17%, well above our total loan market share (12%).
Customer deposits, excluding repos and in constant euros, rose 2% year-on-year, in a lower interest rate environment. We are targeting mutual fund growth, resulting in a 25% increase in constant euros. As a result, customer funds rose 8% in constant euros.
Results
Profit before tax in H1 2025 reached EUR 677 million, 1% higher than in H1 2024. In constant euros, it increased 19%, as follows:
•Total income increased 7%, mainly driven by good performances in net interest income, supported by higher activity and a lower cost of deposits, and net fee income, particularly from mutual funds.
•Costs increased 6%, impacted by inflation and higher labour costs. Net operating income grew 7% and the efficiency ratio improved 9 bps to 44.0%.
•Net loan-loss provisions decreased 19% reflecting better credit quality, due to a more positive macro outlook.
In the quarter, profit before tax increased 1% in constant euros, driven by the good net fee income performance, mainly due to insurance, and cost discipline. This positive performance more than offset higher net loan-loss provisions, due to some single names in the corporate segment.

Commercial activity and business performance
Our business strategy remains focused on: i) expanding the high-net worth and corporate segments by offering a personalized and global experience, and ii) providing a more integrated multi-channel experience and a more simplified product offering to the mass segment. Additionally, we are working to build a closer relationship with our corporate customers, with tailored offerings and enhanced the multi-channel approach.
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos and in constant euros, fell 6% year-on-year as increases in mortgages and SMEs did not offset declines in personal loans, in line with our strategy to focus on profitable growth and capital optimization, and in corporates due to the macro environment.
Customer deposits, excluding repos and in constant euros, increased 7% year-on-year, mainly due to time deposits, with double-digit growth, in line with the market, and especially in individuals. Mutual funds grew 10% year-on-year in constant euros. As a result, customer funds rose 8% in constant euros.
Results
Profit before tax in H1 2025 reached EUR 389 million, 48% less than in H1 2024. In constant euros, it fell 40%, by line:
•Total income decreased 3%, impacted by negative sensitivity of the balance sheet to higher interest rates, lower net fee income and gains on financial transactions, in a macroeconomic environment with lower demand.
•Costs increased 3%, rising below inflation, reflecting our transformation efforts in simplification, automation and digitalization.
•Net loan-loss provisions rose 9% (though remaining at controlled levels) mainly in corporates, impacted by the macro deterioration.
In the quarter, profit before tax fell 30% in constant euros, despite a resilient net interest income and strict cost control, due to lower gains on financial transactions and higher provisions, impacted by the macro deterioration.

Strategy
Digital Consumer Bank (Consumer) is a leading consumer finance company globally, with operations spanning auto financing, consumer lending and digital banking services (Openbank). It operates in 26 countries in Europe and the Americas and serves the financing needs at the point of sale (both physical and digital) of 26 million customers.
Our vision is to become the preferred choice of our partners and end customers and offer greater profitability and value creation to our shareholders, while being the most cost competitive player in the industry.
To respond to changing customer needs and the constantly evolving mobility and consumer finance ecosystem while delivering on our vision, we are transforming our operating model from a primarily monoline lending-based model to a full service digital consumer banking model by focusing on our strategic priorities:
•Converge towards global platforms. We continue to expand the functionalities of our auto leasing platform and foster growth in Zinia, our check-out lending technology, by pursuing new agreements and extending existing ones across regions. Additionally, in Europe, we have moved from one platform per country to three in total, progressing in our final goal of having one common platform and delivering consistent experiences across markets.
•Grow and consolidate partnerships and acquisitions. To retain and consolidate our leadership in mobility financing, we offer global and best-in-class solutions, integrated into our partners' (OEMs, importers and retailers) processes. We continue to work on improving cross-regional partnerships and consolidating new ones, by leveraging existing agreements across our consumer finance and auto businesses and in Openbank.
•Promote the network effect. We are aligning the business with the Group’s operating model and becoming more agile through the simplification and automation of processes to improve customer experience and increase scalability.
In Q2 2025, we made great progress in our strategic priorities, as we advanced in the following initiatives:
•In mobility finance, we continued to enhance our sales and post-sales digital capabilities, further developed our leasing platform, pursued commercial opportunities and continued to manage agreements globally, having recently signed partnerships with new entrants in Europe.
In the US, we remained focused on: i) our pricing discipline and capital stewardship to drive profitable growth across the full credit spectrum while balancing credit risk and, ii) diversifying origination channels.
In Latin America, we remained #1 in new vehicle financing across our footprint as we continued to focus on developing strategic alliances and new products to further consolidate our franchise.
•In consumer lending, Zinia continued to leverage strong partnerships. In Q2 2025, we delivered solid results supported by Amazon's spring promotions and the full launch of the co-branded card in Austria. We remained focused on the integration of CrediScotia in Peru (acquisition finalized in Q1 2025).
•As part of our profitable growth strategy we continued to: i) boost customer deposits, with more than EUR 7 billion captured year-to-date, on the back of targeted campaigns and the recent successful Openbank launches in the US, Mexico and Germany and, ii) actively manage our balance sheet to optimize capital.
In Openbank, we continued to upgrade our customer proposition, fund asset growth and capture synergies. As a result: i) in the US, we posted a solid performance both in terms of new customers and deposits captured, with our partnership with Verizon gaining traction, ii) in Mexico, we exceeded expectations, having acquired more than 130,000 new customers since its launch in Q1 2025, reflecting our focus on digital acquisition and attractive yield products and, iii) in Germany, we have been delivering a secure, seamless and mobile-first experience since going live in January, and are now expanding our product offering to continue to deliver even more value to our customers.

Business performance
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos and in constant euros, increased 2% year-on-year, driven by auto, with continued growth in DCBE, in a market that is picking up from a weak start in the beginning of the year, and double-digit increases across Latin America.
Trends in new lending (-10% year-on-year in constant euros) reflect our strategy to prioritize profitability over growth as we remain prudent in terms of originations in an environment marked by volatility and geopolitical uncertainty.
Our EUR 15 billion leasing portfolio decreased 10% year-on-year in constant euros, as growth in Europe was more than offset by a decline in the US, due to the wind down of business through our relationship with Stellantis, lower demand for electric vehicles and our strategy to prioritize profitability over volumes.
In terms of liabilities, our access to wholesale funding markets remained strong and diversified. Customer deposits, excluding repos and in constant euros, rose 10% year-on-year (increasing at a similar pace in both DCB Europe and the US), in line with our deposit gathering strategy, supported by Openbank. They now account for 62% of Consumer's total funding (4.5 pp more than a year ago). Including mutual funds, customer funds rose 11% in constant euros.

ResultsIn H1 2025, attributable profit reached EUR 1,042 million, 3% lower than in H1 2024. In constant euros, profit declined 1%, as double-digit growth in profit before tax (+11%) was offset by a greater tax burden. By line and in constant euros:
•Total income grew 2%, driven by net interest income, which rose 5%, backed by notable increases across our footprint, with Europe and Latin America supported by our efforts in margin management, volumes growth and CrediScotia's integration in Peru. In the US, higher yields more than offset lower volumes.
Net fee income decreased 6%, even with strong growth in the US (auto servicing fees), mainly due to DCBE, which was impacted by new insurance regulation in Germany and the drop in new car registrations in the EU.
Gains on financial transactions declined, mainly driven by DCBE, while leasing income also fell, due to lower volumes, residual values and gains on sales, particularly in the US.

•Costs increased 3% year-on-year. In real terms, they rose just 1%, supported by savings from our efficiency and transformation efforts, particularly in Europe and the US, as we continued to invest in our leasing and check-out lending platforms, Openbank and CrediScotia's integration in Peru.
•Net loan-loss provisions fell 3%, mainly driven by an excellent performance in auto in the US, which more than offset a pick up in Europe (mostly due to the macro environment and corporates in Germany), Mexico (volumes and model updates) and Peru (CrediScotia). Credit quality remained controlled with the cost of risk at 2.09% and the NPL ratio at 4.97%.
•Other gains (losses) and provisions registered a lower loss in H1 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, mainly due to the temporary levy on revenue earned in Spain recorded in Q1 2024.
•The effective tax rate normalized, as a decline in electric vehicle leasing volumes in the US this year resulted in lower benefits from fiscal incentives.
As a result of the aforementioned performance, RoTE (post-AT1) stood at 10.4% in H1 2025.
Compared to Q1 2025, attributable profit increased 16% in constant euros, on the back of continued strength in net interest income, in line with our focus on margin management, better net fee income, lower net loan-loss provisions (mainly supported by model updates in Brazil and portfolio sales) and stable costs.

Commercial activity and business performance
The drop in new car registrations in the EU in H1 2025 and our focus on profitability over volumes are reflected in a 5% year-on-year drop in new business volumes in constant euros (mainly new auto).
However, the stock of gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos and in constant euros, continued to rise, +3% year-on-year, mainly driven by auto balances.
Customer deposits, excluding repos and in constant euros, grew 10%, particularly driven by demand deposits, in line with our strategy to increase retail funding. Mutual funds increased 15% in constant euros, albeit from low levels. Our access to wholesale funding markets remains strong and diversified.
Results
Profit before tax in H1 2025 declined 4% year-on-year to EUR 727 million. In constant euros, profit before tax also fell 4%, as follows:
•Total income remained resilient in a more complicated operating environment, as the strong performance in net interest income (+4%), backed by our active margin management and volumes growth, and better leasing income did not fully offset the impact on net fee income from new insurance regulation in Germany and the drop in new car registrations in the EU and a fall in gains on financial transactions (interest rate cuts driving weaker hedging results).
•Costs rose just 0.6%, less than inflation (-2% in real terms), supported by the benefits from the transformation, simplification and centralization of our operating model, which remains one of our key priorities.
•Net loan-loss provisions rose 6%, mainly in Germany, driven by the macro environment and worse credit quality in corporates.
•Other gains (losses) and provisions recorded a lower loss, due to the temporary levy on revenue earned in Spain recorded in Q1 2024.
Compared to Q1 2025, profit before tax increased 4% in constant euros, with a strong performance in net operating income after provisions (+21%), mainly backed by solid net interest income growth (+4%) and lower costs and net loan-loss provisions (supported by portfolio sales in the Nordic countries), partially offset by higher provisions related to the CHF mortgage portfolio in Poland.

Commercial activity and business performance
During Q2 2025, Openbank continued to exceed expectations, maintaining the good trends seen in previous quarters, having welcomed 141,000 new customers and gathered approximately USD 5.1 billion in deposit balances since its launch. Our multi-year partnership with Verizon is also delivering strong results, with more than 12,000 active accounts and approximately USD 300 million in balances captured since its launch in April.
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos and in constant euros, declined 7% year-on-year, mainly impacted by our asset rotation initiatives, in line with our capital light strategy.
Customer deposits, excluding repos and in constant euros, rose 11% year-on-year, backed by the aforementioned growth in Openbank and solid retention rates in our branch based deposits. Mutual funds also grew, contributing to an 11% increase in customer funds.
Results
Profit before tax in H1 2025 was 41% higher year-on-year, reaching EUR 501 million. In constant euros, it rose 42%, as follows:
•Total income was flat, as stronger net interest income (higher auto loan yields) and net fee income (auto servicing fees), were offset by weaker leasing income, mainly due to lower volumes, residual values and gains on sales.
•Costs increased slightly (+1%) as savings from our transformation initiatives practically compensated our investments in Openbank.
•Net loan-loss provisions improved 13%, driven by resilient customer behaviour, improved used car prices and a stable labour market, and also supported by capital relief measures, which more than offset the NPL normalization. As a result, cost of risk improved 46 bps to 4.22%.
Compared to Q1 2025, profit before tax grew strongly (+20% in constant euros), mainly on the back of better net fee income, a decline in costs (lower Openbank campaign expenses and savings linked to our transformation efforts) and lower net loan-loss provisions.

Strategy
Our Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) business is well diversified by business line, geographically and by client type, which helps reduce the potential impacts from risks in any specific market or sector and better support our clients. This is especially important in the current environment characterized by geopolitical tensions and market volatility.
Our focus for 2025 is on continuing to develop our core initiatives in Global Markets (GM) and Global Banking (GB) to deliver an enhanced value proposition and drive profitable growth by:
•Fully leveraging our centres of expertise and expanded coverage to strengthen our positioning in our core markets, fostering collaboration between our businesses to increase connectivity.
Additionally, our enhanced capabilities are providing important opportunities between Global Banking, Global Transactional Banking (GTB) and Global Markets. This is driving significant growth, particularly in our Global Markets franchise, which is also supported by the investments we have made.
•Continuing to advance in the execution of our automation and digitalization initiatives, while exploring tangible opportunities afforded by AI, both for business and support functions. We are developing solutions in digital assets and tokenization to streamline processes, increase efficiency and enhance controls. This quarter, of note was the execution of Santander’s first programmable intraday physical repo through Digital Financing, demonstrating our strength, as only a small number of institutions have the capabilities to participate in the digital repo infrastructure.
•Deepening our client relationships by fostering and expanding our advisory and value-added businesses on the back of our transformation initiatives, with a particular focus on the US and fee businesses.
In the US, we are executing our growth plan, evolving our specialized investment banking footprint by selectively broadening coverage and our product platform. We increased core client penetration and ,as a result, we are gaining market share and more important roles in Investment Banking, in a weaker market.
•Maximizing the impact of our US BBO initiative on the global CIB franchise by leveraging the newly developed capabilities and coverage, which is providing new opportunities in other Group businesses and countries.
As a key driver of Santander’s growth, we continue to foster collaboration with other businesses to generate additional value for the Group. In CIB, for example, we provide FX solutions to Retail, a full suite of products to Commercial, product development and structuring to Wealth, and capital markets solutions and advisory to auto finance in Consumer, among others.
•Further evolving CIB's global operating model, in line with the Group’s initiatives to expand our global platforms and strengthen the support functions to foster business growth, team specialization and synergies.
We are improving our Originate-to-Share (OtS) model, with focus on capital efficiency, active management and profitability.

Business performance
We remain focused on capital-light activity and actively managing our balance sheet. As a result, our total revenue to risk-weighted assets ratio improved 1.1 pp year-on-year up to 8.0%.
Gross customer loans and advances (which are mainly concentrated in GB and GTB), excluding reverse repos and in constant euros, were down 2% year-on-year, as the increase in GM could not compensate the decrease in GTB (mainly South America). Customer deposits, excluding repos and in constant euros, were flat year-on-year, as the growth in Cash Management (GTB) was offset by the reduction in GM, in line with our strategy to optimize funding costs.
By business line, we had the following performance:
•Global Transaction Banking recorded good activity levels in a challenging business environment:
In Trade & Working Capital Solutions, activity continued to accelerate driven by: i) new value-added initiatives, such as the enhanced platform to centralize our clients' confirming needs, ii) the expansion into new segments and the diversification of client portfolios, partnering with major private equity and credit funds, as well as asset managers, such as Pemberton and Apollo, and iii) good business performances in key markets, such as the US.
In Export Finance, activity was lower compared to a particularly strong H1 2024. During Q2 2025, we continued to leverage our robust capabilities in the coordination of important financing operations, closing the biggest ever advisory deal for Santander, a EUR 6.3 billion ECA-covered project finance in Poland.
In Cash Management, there were good activity levels, mainly in Mexico and Brazil, partially affected by the lower interest rate environment, especially in Spain and Argentina.
•In Global Banking, activity in H1 2025 was slightly better, albeit with a mixed performance across products:
In Debt Finance, there was a slight decline year-on-year, but performed well taking into account the volatile environment and geopolitical uncertainty. Syndicated Loans and Acquisition Finance stood out in Europe and South America, supported by the recovery of international DCM transactions in Argentina.
In Corporate Finance (CF), good trends continued with strong activity growth despite a less favourable environment, especially in ECM, where we successfully executed, either as global coordinator or bookrunner, 29 initial public offerings (IPOs) and 5 SPACs acting as sole bookrunner and we are top 10 globally and top 3 in Europe and the US in IPOs. In M&A, of note was our role as financial advisor to Stonepeak it the acquisition of a USD 5.7 billion stake in Louisiana LNG Infrastructure LLC. Additionally, our global leveraged finance franchise continued to gain scale in the US.
In Structured Finance, activity was weaker than at the beginning of the year and than this time last year, but we outperformed the market. We participated in several transactions, with leading roles (global mandated lead arranger) and leadership positions in Project Finance (renewables). Fund Finance business was affected by limited fundraising activity, but we are starting to see early signs of recovery.
•In Global Markets, record activity in the first half of the year, albeit with some normalization in Q2 compared to the strong start to the year, which benefited from high volatility. There were excellent performances across our footprint and products, and we are expanding our institutional franchise, in line with our strategy.
Results
Attributable profit in H1 2025 rose 9% year-on-year to EUR 1,534 million. In constant euros, it grew 15%, with the following detail:
•Total income rose 9%, supported by solid gains on financial transactions, up 14%, mainly due to higher activity in GM, by net fee income performances in all businesses (+9%, favoured by the US BBO initiative), and by net interest income, which rose 4%, due to higher activity in GM.
By country, there were good revenue performances in the US, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, with European units also continuing to grow, but at a slower pace.
By business, strong revenue growth in GM was well balanced between fixed income business and equity products, both up double digits. In GTB, revenue increased on the back of a strong performance in Trade & Working Capital Solutions. In GB, revenue also increased, as net fee income growth in CF products (ECM and M&A) more than compensated lower revenue from Debt Finance and Structured Finance, affected by subdued activity.

•Costs increased 8% due to the investments made in new products and capabilities to drive growth. The efficiency ratio was 43.7%, one of the best in the sector.
•Due to the nature of the business and the high quality of our credit portfolio, net loan-loss provisions have a limited impact on results. In H1 2025, net loan-loss provisions declined, driven by a better performance in European countries.
As a result, this good business performance delivered a 20.8% RoTE (post-AT1) in H1 2025 compared to 18.1% in H1 2024, reflecting our focus on capital efficiency, active management and profitability.
Compared to a record Q1 2025, attributable profit decreased 7% in constant euros, in an environment characterized by geopolitical uncertainty. Revenue was affected by the usual seasonality in GM and by lower activity in GB and provisions were impacted by single names.

Strategy
We aim to enhance our Wealth Management & Insurance service model and value proposition through a common global platform that leverages Santander's scale and capabilities. Wealth is an important driver for the Group, delivering consistent double-digit profit growth and generating around one third of the Group's total net fee income, including fees ceded to the commercial network.
In recent years, we have been working on building a leading global private banking platform with best-in-class funds and insurance product factories that leverage our global scale and capabilities.
We continue to focus on the following strategic initiatives:
•In Private Banking (PB), we continue to consolidate our global position across key markets by reinforcing our value proposition through increased specialization. During Q2 2025, we launched Beyond Wealth, our new Global Family Office service in Spain, addressing the needs of wealthy individuals and institutions, who seek professional and tailored management of their financial, corporate and personal assets.
We also continue to expand our global offering, through a dedicated business centre for non-resident clients in Madrid, leveraging our global capabilities.
We continue to focus on value-added solutions. Following the launch of our new private assets strategy, supported by a global team that will drive top-tier global and local opportunities tailored to our clients, we successfully completed the second edition of our Global Private Asset Programme, enhancing our teams’ ability to deliver sophisticated solutions in Private Equity, Private Debt and other non-traditional strategies.
Additionally, we are evolving our operating model towards a more agile and talent-driven approach while exploring the application of artificial intelligence use cases to enhance productivity and client engagement.

•In Santander Asset Management (SAM), we operate as a global asset manager leveraging our scale, global investment capabilities and product distribution hubs. We continue progressing with our transformation, aiming to globalize and simplify our asset management business.
In terms of retail distribution, we continued to implement an advisory model across all countries, supported by a global investments platform that provides better customer experience.
We continue to consolidate our positioning in the alternatives business, across private markets, both through organic growth and strategic initiatives. We have further reinforced our real estate capabilities with the recent launch of the new Real Estate Coliving Opportunities fund.
This quarter, we were named the Best National Asset Manager in Spain by Expansion-Allfunds and we were the asset manager with most awards at the Salmon awards in Chile.
•In Insurance, our bancassurance operation is present in more than 20 countries across the Group's global businesses. In Wealth, we are accelerating the execution of our strategy and transformation plans around our two new verticals, Life & Pensions and Property & Casualty, to deliver more value to our customers:
•In Life & Pensions, we are developing a new retirement business line, offering an integrated value proposition, for which we are working on annuities in Spain as well as enhancing our unit-linked product offering in Mexico, with the launch of a new strategic plan focused on Private Banking customers.
•In terms of Property & Casualty, we are expanding in high growth verticals such as: i) Health, where we are developing targeted solutions for our clients, and ii) Motor, through Autocompara, our motor insurance comparison platform, where we have incorporated new insurers into the platform, such as Suhai in Brazil, and a 100% phygital model for unfinished purchase processes has been implemented in Brazil and Mexico.
We remain focused on increasing the use of data to deliver personalized solutions and embed our products into customer journeys. Additionally, we are working to further enhance our customers' global experience across the full life cycle of the value proposition, driving long-lasting relationships.
Since 2023, Insurance operates under a single holding company, which has enabled us to unify management, governance, risk and control across all insurance entities. This has improved the integration of the Insurance business within the Group’s model. During this quarter, we continued to enhance our corporate governance, by incorporating new profiles into key positions within Wealth’s structure, reflecting the importance of our Insurance business for the Group’s strategy.
•Portfolio Investments was incorporated as a fourth vertical that combines the investment platforms unit and stakes in other companies. We have integrated this business line into Wealth to capture synergies and enhance our value proposition and the service provided to our customers.

→ PagoNxt and Cards bring a unique position in the payments industry to the Group, covering both sides of the value chain of card payments (issuing and acquiring businesses) and account-to-account (A2A) payments. → Activity increased in both businesses, supported by global platform development, which enables further scale gains. In PagoNxt, Getnet's Total Payments Volume (TPV) rose 15% year-on-year in constant euros and the number of transactions improved 7%. In Cards, spending increased 9% year-on-year in constant euros and transactions rose 6%. → Attributable profit was EUR 335 million, up 47% year-on-year in constant euros excluding the charges in Q2 2024 after discontinuing platforms, driven by a good revenue performance boosted by higher activity. PagoNxt's EBITDA margin in H1 2025 improved 8.7 pp year-on-year to 28.8%. | |||||||||||||||||
PagoNxt and Cards strategy
In PagoNxt, we made progress in our strategic priorities:
•In Getnet, we focused on driving business growth, investing in innovation and developing commercial channels to expand our presence.
We remain focused on positioning ourselves as a leading player in Latin America, Spain and Portugal, where we have been working to expand omnichannel capabilities of our regional API. Additionally, we have already integrated several partners into our API in Mexico, Argentina and Uruguay.
In Mexico, Getnet is pioneer in regional payment security by offering the first certified card Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) solution, enabling safer and simpler processes.
We continued to maximize synergies with distribution channels. For example, in Chile, we launched the Santander en tu barrio programme, which enables access to bank services through Getnet PoS terminals.
•In Ebury, we remained focused on: i) growing customers by expanding our product offering and online capabilities, ii) expanding geographically with a focus on developing markets, iii) introducing tailored products to capture verticals such as mass payments, and iv) increasing collaboration revenue with other global businesses.
•PagoNxt Payments, we continued to develop our world-class solution for A2A payments processing, foreign exchange, fraud detection and value-added services, leveraging the best technology to build tailored solutions for our customers.
In Cards, we remained focused on the following priorities:
•Expand the business to continue growing and offering the best products to our customers.
We further implemented Cards Data Lab, which continued to expand its functionalities to improve credit card experience in the different phases of its life cycle.
We continued to expand our joint value proposition with Getnet (cards and PoS), available in Spain, Chile and Portugal, and we also launched it this quarter in Argentina.
As part of our strategy to promote the use of credit cards, we launched Pay Smarter in Spain, an initiative aimed at enhancing the security, control and benefits of our customers' credit card usage.
•Improve customer satisfaction, offering global solutions to facilitate the use of our cards, increase the security of our products and handle all transactions digitally, e.g. centralized management of tokenized payments, rolled out Click to Pay across some of our markets, incident management from digital channels and we launched enrolment in Google Pay from our app (introduced in Uruguay and Openbank Mexico this quarter).
•Implement our global card platform (Plard), which is managing more than 20 million debit cards in Brazil, and is already capturing new debit card sales to individuals in Chile. In Mexico, the new authorizer processed more than 170 million transactions per month and we are testing its implementation in Spain and the UK.
Business performance
Gross loans and advances to customers, excluding reverse repos and in constant euros, rose 18% driven mainly by higher volumes in Cards, with double-digit growth in most countries.
Payments has a very small amount of deposits, concentrated in PagoNxt. These deposits (excluding repos) amounted to EUR 1,043 million, +3% year-on-year in constant euros.
Results
Attributable profit was EUR 335 million in H1 2025, compared with a profit of EUR 25 million in H1 2024. This year-on-year comparison was favoured by having recorded charges in Q2 2024 related to the discontinuation of our merchant platform in Germany and Superdigital in Latin America. Excluding them, profit rose 47% year-on-year in constant euros, by line:
•Total income grew 17%, boosted by double-digit growth in net interest income and net fee income in both businesses driven by increased activity.
•Costs rose 2%, declining 1% in real terms, even after our investments in platforms in both Cards and PagoNxt.
•Net loan-loss provisions, mainly related to Cards, rose 29%, driven by strong loan growth, especially in South American countries, and the impact related to changes in models in Mexico and Brazil.
Compared to Q1 2025, profit grew 73% in constant euros due to a strong increase in revenue (Cards and PagoNxt), driven by NII growth and lower costs, with controlled provisions.

In H1 2025, attributable profit reached EUR 16 million, compared to a EUR 304 million loss in the same period of 2024 (EUR 61 million loss if we exclude the charges related to the discontinuation of our merchant platform in Germany and Superdigital in Latin America). In constant euros:
•Total income rose 19% year-on-year, with double-digit growth in net interest income and net fee income, driven by higher activity. There were good performances across business lines, especially in Ebury, Getnet in Chile, Mexico and Brazil, and in Payments Hub.
•Costs were flat, as lower costs in Getnet offset the investments in our global platforms.
EBITDA margin increased to 28.8% (20.1% in H1 2024).
Compared to Q1 2025, attributable profit rose to EUR 11 million from EUR 4 million in Q1 2025, +224% in constant euros, driven by a good revenue performance (increased commercial activity, especially in Getnet in Brazil, Europe and Chile, and in PagoNxt Payments), and a positive tax contribution, which more than offset a weaker performance in other gains (losses) and provisions.

Strategy and functions
The Corporate Centre contributes value to the Group, through the following functions, among others:
•Global control frameworks and supervision.
•Fostering the exchange of best practices in cost management, which enables us to be one of the most efficient banks.
•Collaborating in the definition and execution of the global strategy, competitive development operations and projects that ensure we meet the business plan.
•Contributing to the launch of projects that will be developed by our global businesses, aimed at leveraging our worldwide presence to generate economies of scale.
•Ensuring open and constructive communication with shareholders, analysts, investors, bondholders, rating agencies and other market players.
•Adding value to our businesses, countries and divisions by encouraging the exchange of best practices, driving and managing innovative global initiatives and defining corporate policies to improve efficiency in our processes and service quality for our customers.
It also coordinates the relationship with European regulators and supervisors and carries out functions related to financial management and capital, as follows:
•Financial Management functions:
•Structural management of liquidity risk associated with funding the Group’s recurring activity and stakes of a financial nature. At the end of June 2025, the liquidity buffer was EUR 331 billion (provisional data).
This is done ensuring the diversification of funding sources (issuances and others), maintaining an adequate profile in volumes, maturities and costs.
The price of these transactions with other Group units is the market rate that includes all liquidity concepts (which the Group supports by immobilizing funds during the term of the transaction) and regulatory requirements (TLAC/MREL).
•We also actively manage interest rate risk to dampen the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income, conducted via high credit quality, very liquid and low capital consumption derivatives.
•Strategic management of exposure to exchange rates in equity and dynamic management of the FX hedges related to the units’ next twelve months results in euros. The net investments in equity currently hedged totalled EUR 17,158 million (mainly in the UK, Mexico and Chile) with different FX instruments (spots and forwards).
•Management of total capital and reserves: capital analysis, adequacy and management of the Group including: coordination with subsidiaries, monitoring profitability to maximize shareholder returns, setting solvency targets and capital contributions, and monitoring the capital ratio in both regulatory and economic terms, and efficient capital allocation to the units.
Results
In H1 2025, the attributable loss was EUR 713 million, a 17% greater loss than in H1 2024 (EUR 609 million loss), with the following performance by line:
•Net interest income declined EUR 132 million as lower interest rates impacted the balance sheet which has positive sensitivity to rate rises.
•Losses on financial transactions improved EUR 141 million, due to a lower impact from foreign currency hedges.
•Costs increased EUR 11 million due to higher IT expenses.
•Net loan-loss provisions increased year-on-year reflecting our strategy to accelerate NPL ratio reductions, improving the Group's credit quality.
•Other results and provisions were 7% lower year-on-year.

On 2 June 2025, the executive committee reduced Banco Santander's share capital by EUR 133,583,475, by cancelling 267,166,950 own shares, representing 1.76% of its share capital, acquired in the second 2024 buyback programme, that ran between 6 February and 2 June 2025, as part of the shareholder remuneration charged against 2024 results. The share capital reduction, which was approved at the general shareholders’ meeting on 4 April 2025, was registered with the Commercial Registry of Cantabria on 6 June 2025. Consequently, Article 5 of the Bylaws has been amended to reflect that the Bank’s share capital is set at EUR 7,442,662,686, represented through 14,885,325,372 shares with a nominal value of EUR 0.50 per share, all of the same class and affording the same rights.
The eight share buyback programmes against results since 2021 and the related share capital reductions have resulted in the repurchase of 2,455,315,930 shares since November 2021, representing approximately 14.16% of the outstanding shares as of that date.
Changes in the Group’s Senior Management
On 24 June 2025, the board of directors of Banco Santander resolved to appoint Manuel Preto as the new Group Chief Accounting Officer, to succeed José Doncel. This appointment shall be effective from 31 July 2025 and is subject to regulatory approval. Mr Preto joined the Group in 1996 and has held various leadership roles in Santander Portugal and in the Group. Since 2019, he has been deputy CEO, CFO & Head of Strategy of Santander Portugal.

Financial information
Group information
As a result of the Poland disposal and in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, the business subject to the Poland disposal has been classified as 'non-current assets/liabilities held for sale' and the related results have been reported under 'discontinued operations'. Accordingly:
•In the Group’s consolidated balance sheet, the assets associated with the Poland disposal are classified under the 'non-current assets held for sale' line item and the related liabilities under 'liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale'. This classification applies solely to the balance sheet as at 30 June 2025 and does not affect balance sheets for prior periods. In the statutory income statement, the results associated with the business subject to the Poland disposal are reported under a single line in the consolidated income statement — 'profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations' — for results corresponding to both 2025 and 2024. Consequently, the results from the Poland disposal perimeter are excluded line by line from the breakdown of continuing operations in both periods.
•However, in the underlying income statement, both at the Group and the primary and secondary segment levels (which are presented on an underlying basis only), the results from Poland continue to be reported line by line and disaggregated, as they were in previous quarterly disclosures given the fact that the management of Santander Polska remains unchanged until the Poland disposal is completed. This reporting approach is consistent with the information used internally in management reporting, as well as with other public Group disclosures. For the same reason, all management metrics included in this report have been calculated including Poland, i.e. maintaining the same perimeter that existed at the time of the announcement of the Poland disposal.
•In this appendix, results are presented on an underlying basis and the balance sheet figures, ratios and other metrics include Poland, as they were in previous quarterly disclosures, i.e. maintaining the same perimeter as prior to the announcement of the Poland disposal. However, if we were to exclude Poland, the Group's main management ratios would not be materially affected.
•For more information, see the ‘Alternative performance measures’ section in this appendix.
For Argentina and any grouping which includes it, the variations in constant euros have been calculated considering the Argentine peso exchange rate on the last working day for each of the periods presented. For more information, see the calculation method detailed in the ‘Alternative performance measures’ section in this appendix.

Alternative performance measures (APMs)
In addition to the financial information prepared under IFRS, this consolidated directors’ report contains financial measures that constitute alternative performance measures (APMs) to comply with the guidelines on alternative performance measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority on 5 October 2015 and non-IFRS measures.
The financial measures contained in this consolidated directors’ report that qualify as APMs and non-IFRS measures have been calculated using our financial information but are not defined or detailed in the applicable financial information framework or under IFRS and therefore have neither been audited nor are susceptible to being fully audited.
We use these APMs and non-IFRS measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. We consider these APMs and non-IFRS financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. While we believe that these APMs and non-IFRS financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute of IFRS measures. In addition, the way in which Santander defines and calculates these APMs and non-IFRS measures may differ from the calculations used by other companies with similar measures and, therefore, may not be comparable.
The APMs and non-IFRS measures we use in this document can be categorized as follows:
Underlying results
In addition to IFRS results measures, we present some results measures which are non-IFRS and which we refer to as
underlying measures. These measures allow in our view a better year-on-year comparability given that they exclude items outside the ordinary performance of our business (e.g. capital gains, write-downs, impairment of goodwill) or certain line items have been reclassified in the underlying ("adjusted") income statement, as their impact on profit is zero, to facilitate comparisons with prior quarters and better understand the trends in the business.
In addition, in the "Financial information by segment" section, covering the primary and secondary segments, results are presented only on an underlying basis in accordance with IFRS 8, and reconciled on an aggregate basis to our IFRS consolidated results to the consolidated financial statements, which are set out below.
As a result of the Poland disposal and in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, in the statutory income statement, the results associated with the business subject to the Poland disposal are reported under a single line in the consolidated income statement — 'profit/(loss) after tax from discontinued operations' — for results corresponding to both 2025 and 2024.
However, in the underlying income statement, the results from Poland continue to be reported line by line and disaggregated, as they were in previous quarterly disclosures, given the management of Santander Polska remains unchanged until the Poland disposal is completed. This reporting approach is consistent with the information used internally in management reporting, as well as with other public Group disclosures.

Explanation of adjustments:
•In accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, in the statutory income statement in H1 2025, results subject to the Poland disposal have been reported under 'discontinued operations'. However, in the underlying income statement the results from Poland have been reclassified so that they are reported line by line and disaggregated in each of the corresponding line items.
•A capital gain, that falls outside the ordinary course of our business, in Q2 2025 of EUR 231 million from the sale of Santander’s remaining 30.5% stake in CACEIS.
•A one-off charge of EUR 467 million in Q2 2025 (EUR 231 million net of tax and minority interests), which strengthens the balance sheet after having updated macroeconomic parameters in Brazil’s credit provisioning models.

Explanation of adjustments:
•In accordance with IFRS 5 requirements, in the statutory income statement in H1 2024, results subject to the Poland disposal have been reported under 'discontinued operations'. However, in the underlying income statement the results from Poland have been reclassified so that they are reported line by line and disaggregated in each of the corresponding line items.
•Temporary levy on revenue in Spain in Q1 2024, totalling EUR 335 million, which was reclassified from total income to other gains (losses) and provisions.
•Provisions which strengthen the balance sheet in Brazil of EUR 352 million in Q2 2024 (EUR 174 million net of tax and minority interests).
Note: regarding the Group’s consolidated balance sheet, in accordance with IFRS 5 requirements and solely in the balance sheet as at 30 June 2025, the assets associated with the Poland disposal are classified under 'non-current assets held for sale'. This line item consolidates the following: cash, cash balances at central banks and other deposits on demand: EUR 2,451 million; financial assets held for trading: EUR 1,793 million; financial assets designated at fair value through other comprehensive income: EUR 6,798 million; financial assets at amortized cost: EUR 51,424 million; intangible assets: EUR 1,374 million; tax assets: EUR 900 million; and other assets: EUR 1,156 million. Likewise, the related liabilities are aggregated under 'liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale'. This line item consolidates the following: financial liabilities held for trading: EUR 989 million; financial liabilities at amortized cost: EUR 56,420 million; provisions: EUR 541 million; tax liabilities: EUR 940 million; and other liabilities: EUR 471 million. | ||||||||

Ratios
All profitability, efficiency, credit quality and other metrics included in this 'Alternative performance measures' section have been calculated including Poland, as they were in previous quarterly disclosures given the management of Santander Polska remains unchanged until the Poland disposal is completed. This reporting approach is consistent with the information used internally in management reporting, as well as with other public Group disclosures. However, if we were to exclude Poland, the Group's main management ratios would not be materially affected. | ||||||||
Profitability and efficiency ratios
The purpose of the profitability ratios is to measure the ratio of profit to equity, to tangible equity, to assets and to risk-weighted assets, while the efficiency ratio measures how much general administrative expenses (personnel and other) and amortization costs are needed to generate revenue.
Additionally, goodwill adjustments have been removed from the RoTE numerator as, since they are not considered in the denominator, we believe this calculation is more correct.
| Ratio | Formula | Relevance of the metric | ||||||||||||
| RoE | Profit attributable to the parent (annualized) | This ratio measures the return that shareholders obtain on the funds invested in the bank and as such measures the company's ability to pay shareholders. | ||||||||||||
| (Return on equity) | Average stockholders’ equity 1 (excl. minority interests) | |||||||||||||
| RoTE | Profit attributable to the parent (annualized)2 | This indicator is used to evaluate the profitability of the company as a percentage of its tangible equity. It's measured as the return that shareholders receive as a percentage of the funds invested in the entity less intangible assets. | ||||||||||||
| (Return on tangible equity) | Average stockholders' equity 1 (excl. minority interests) - intangible assets | |||||||||||||
| RoTE (post-AT1) | Profit attributable to the parent minus AT1 costs (annualized)2 | As with RoTE, this indicator is used to assess the profitability of a company as a percentage of its tangible equity, but the cost of AT1 issuances is deduced from the numerator. This is the definition of RoTE that is commonly used as a measure of profitability over tangible equity. | ||||||||||||
| (Return on tangible equity) | Average stockholders' equity 1 (excl. minority interests) - intangible assets | |||||||||||||
| RoA | Consolidated profit (annualized) | This metric measures the profitability of a company as a percentage of its total assets. It is an indicator that reflects the efficiency of the bank's total assets in generating profit over a given period. | ||||||||||||
| (Return on assets) | Average total assets | |||||||||||||
| RoRWA | Consolidated profit (annualized) | The return adjusted for risk is a derivative of the RoA metric. The difference is that RoRWA measures profit in relation to the bank's risk-weighted assets. | ||||||||||||
| (Return on risk-weighted assets) | Average risk-weighted assets | |||||||||||||
| Efficiency ratio | Operating expenses 3 | One of the most commonly used indicators when comparing productivity of different financial entities. It measures the amount of resources used to generate the bank's total income. | ||||||||||||
| Total income | ||||||||||||||
1. Stockholders’ equity = Capital and Reserves + Accumulated other comprehensive income + Profit attributable to the parent + Dividends.
2. Excluding the adjustment to the valuation of goodwill.
3. Operating expenses = Administrative expenses + amortizations.

Credit risk indicators
The credit risk indicators measure the quality of the credit portfolio and the percentage of non-performing loans covered by provisions.
| Ratio | Formula | Relevance of the metric | ||||||||||||
| NPL ratio (Non-performing loans ratio) | Credit impaired customer loans and advances, guarantees and undrawn balances | The NPL ratio is an important variable regarding financial institutions' activity since it gives an indication of the level of risk the entities are exposed to. It calculates risks that are, in accounting terms, declared to be credit impaired as a percentage of the total outstanding amount of customer credit and contingent liabilities. | ||||||||||||
Total Risk 1 | ||||||||||||||
| NPL coverage ratio | Total allowances to cover impairment losses on customer loans and advances, guarantees and undrawn balances | The NPL coverage ratio is a fundamental metric in the financial sector. It reflects the level of provisions as a percentage of the credit impaired assets. Therefore, it is a good indicator of the entity's solvency against customer defaults both present and future. | ||||||||||||
| Credit impaired customer loans and advances, guarantees and undrawn balances | ||||||||||||||
| Cost of risk | Allowances for loan-loss provisions over the last 12 months | This ratio quantifies loan-loss provisions arising from credit risk over a defined period of time for a given loan portfolio. As such, it acts as an indicator of credit quality. | ||||||||||||
| Average loans and advances to customers over the last 12 months | ||||||||||||||
1. Total risk = non-impaired and impaired customer loans and advances and guarantees + impaired undrawn customer balances.

Other indicators
The Group has a series of additional financial metrics which facilitate analysis of the underlying business trends and performance. It also has another set of sustainability indicators which enables us to track the progress of our Sustainability objectives.
| Ratio | Formula | Relevance of the metric | ||||||||||||
| TNAV per share | Tangible book value 1 | This is a very commonly used ratio used to measure the company's accounting value per share having deducted the intangible assets. It is useful in evaluating the amount each shareholder would receive if the company were to enter into liquidation and had to sell all the company's tangible assets. | ||||||||||||
| (Tangible net asset value per share) | Number of shares excluding treasury stock | |||||||||||||
| Price / tangible book value per share (X) | Share price | This is one of the most commonly used ratios by market participants for the valuation of listed companies both in absolute terms and relative to other entities. This ratio measures the relationship between the price paid for a company and its accounting equity value. | ||||||||||||
| TNAV per share | ||||||||||||||
LTD ratio2 | Net loans and advances to customers | This is an indicator of the bank's liquidity. It measures the total loans and advances to customers net of loan-loss provisions as a percentage of customer deposits. | ||||||||||||
| (Loan-to-deposit) | Customer deposits | |||||||||||||
Loans and advances (excl. reverse repos)2 | Gross loans and advances to customers excluding reverse repos | In order to aid analysis of the commercial banking activity, reverse repos are excluded as they are highly volatile treasury products. | ||||||||||||
Deposits (excl. repos)2 | Customer deposits excluding repos | In order to aid analysis of the commercial banking activity, repos are excluded as they are highly volatile treasury products. | ||||||||||||
| PAT + fees paid to SAN (in Wealth Management & Insurance) | Net profit + fees ceded by Santander Asset Management and Santander Insurance to the branch network, net of taxes, excluding Private Banking customers | Metric to assess Wealth Management & Insurance's total contribution to the Group's profit. | ||||||||||||
1.Tangible book value = Stockholders' equity (excl. minority interests) - intangible assets.

Local currency measures
We make use of certain financial measures in local currency to help in the assessment of our ongoing operating performance. These non-IFRS financial measures include the results of operations of our subsidiary banks located outside the eurozone, excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Because changes in foreign currency exchange rates do not have an operating impact on the results, we believe that evaluating their performance on a local currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment of performance to both management and the company’s investors.
The Group presents, at both the Group level as well as the business unit level, the changes in the income statement as well as the changes excluding the exchange rate effect ("excluding FX" or "constant euros"), as it considers the latter facilitates analysis, since it enables business movements to be identified without taking into account the impact of converting each local currency into euros.
Said variations, excluding the impact of exchange rate movements, are calculated by converting income statement lines for the different business units comprising the Group into our presentation currency, the euro, applying the average exchange rate for H1 2025 to all periods contemplated in the analysis. We use this method for all countries with the exception of Argentina, where we use the exchange rate on the last working day of each period presented, given it is a hyperinflationary economy, to mitigate the distortions caused by the hyperinflation.
We present, at both the Group level as well as the business unit level, the changes in euros as well as the changes excluding the exchange rate effect ("excluding FX" or "constant euros") for loans and advances to customers excluding reverse repurchase agreements (repos) and customer funds (which comprise deposits and mutual funds) excluding repos. Additionally, we present changes in the main balance sheet lines of the Group's countries both in euros as well as the changes excluding the exchange rate effect. As with the income statement, the reason is to facilitate
analysis by isolating the changes in the balance sheet that are not caused by converting each local currency into euros.
These changes excluding the impact of exchange rate movements are calculated by converting the balances, into our presentation currency, the euro, applying the closing exchange rate on the last working day of June 2025 to all periods contemplated in the analysis. We use this method to calculate the variations for all countries with the exception of Argentina, where we use the exchange rate on the last working day of each period presented, given it is a hyperinflationary economy, to mitigate the distortions caused by the hyperinflation.
In Q2 2024, due to the significant divergence between the official exchange rate and other macroeconomic magnitudes in Argentina, mainly inflation, we began to apply an alternative exchange rate for the Argentine peso which reflected the exchange rate observed in transactions ordered between market participants under the prevailing economic conditions, such as the repatriation of dividends from businesses in Argentina.
Given the stabilization and improved macroeconomic outlook in the country, in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 we used the dollar contado con liquidación rate (CCL) as a reference for this alternative exchange rate, which is the exchange rate resulting from the sale of local bonds denominated in Argentine pesos in US dollars (dual denomination peso/dollar bonds).
From Q2 2025, we once again apply the official exchange rate given that the value of the dollar CCL exchange rate does not significantly differ from other market rates or the official exchange rate following the lifting of currency controls and the removal of restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency for individuals in Argentina.
The average and period-end exchange rates for the main currencies in which the Group operates are set out in the table below.

1. Average exchange rates for the Argentine peso are not included since we use the exchange rate on the last working day of each period presented given it is a hyperinflationary economy. We apply the official ARS exchange rate except in the periods between Q2 2024 and Q1 2025, when we applied an alternative exchange rate for the Argentine peso that better reflected the evolution of inflation.

Impact of inflation rate on the variations of operating expenses
Santander presents, for both the Group and the business units included in the primary and secondary segments: i) the changes in operating expenses in euros, ii) the changes excluding the exchange rate effect with the exception of Argentina which is calculated as described above in "Local currency measures", and iii) the changes excluding the exchange rate effect minus the effect of average inflation over the last twelve months except for Argentina as cost growth in euros should already largely reflect the effect of hyperinflation on exchange rates. The reason is that the two latter facilitate analysis for management purposes.
Inflation is calculated as the arithmetic average of the last twelve months for each country and, for the global businesses, as the weighted average the inflation rate of each country comprising the global business, weighted by each country's operating expenses. For the Group and the global businesses, we exclude the impact of inflation in Argentina from the calculation as cost growth in euros should already largely reflect the effect of hyperinflation on exchange rates.
The table below shows the average inflation rates calculated as indicated.

Important information
Non-IFRS and alternative performance measures
Banco Santander, S.A. (“Santander”) cautions that this report may contain financial information prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and taken from our consolidated financial statements, as well as alternative performance measures (APMs) as defined in the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 October 2015, and other non-IFRS measures. The APMs and non-IFRS measures were calculated with information from Grupo Santander; however, they are neither defined or detailed in the applicable financial reporting framework nor audited or reviewed by our auditors. We use the APMs and non-IFRS measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. We consider them to be useful metrics for our management and investors to compare operating performance between accounting periods.
Nonetheless, the APMs and non-IFRS measures are supplemental information; their purpose is not to substitute the IFRS measures. Furthermore, 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 environmental, social and governance labels have not been calculated in accordance with the Taxonomy Regulation or with the indicators for principal adverse impact in SFDR.
For more details on APMs and non-IFRS measures, please see the 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on 28 February 2025 (https://www.santander.com/content/dam/santander-com/en/documentos/informacion-sobre-resultados-semestrales-y-anuales-suministrada-a-la-sec/2025/sec-2024-annual-20-f-2024-en.pdf), as well as the section “Alternative performance measures” of Banco Santander, S.A. (Santander) Q1 2025 Financial Report, published on 30 April 2025 (https://www.santander.com/en/shareholders-and-investors/financial-and-economic-information#quarterly-results).
Sustainability information
This report may contain, in addition to financial information, sustainability-related information, including environmental, social and governance-related metrics, statements, goals, targets, commitments and opinions. Sustainability information is not audited nor, save as expressly indicated under section ‘Auditors’ reviews’ of the 2024 Annual Financial Report, reviewed by an external auditor. Sustainability information is prepared following various external and internal frameworks, reporting guidelines and measurement, collection and verification methods and practices, which may materially differ from those applicable to financial information and are in many cases emerging and evolving. Sustainability information is based on various materiality thresholds, estimates, assumptions, judgments and underlying data derived internally and from third parties. Sustainability information is thus subject to significant measurement uncertainties, may not be comparable to sustainability information of other companies or over time or across periods and its use is not meant to imply that the information is fit for any particular purpose or that it is material to us under mandatory reporting standards. The sustainability information is for informational purposes only, without any liability being accepted in connection with it except where such liability cannot be limited under overriding provisions of applicable law.
