  • TNAVps + cash DPS up 16% YoY; EPS up 19%.
Negative

Insights

TL;DR – Record profit, stronger capital, large buybacks; NII softness the main blemish.

H1 results show effective execution of ONE Transformation: fee-led revenue mix, flat costs and falling CoR lifted RoTE to 16%. CET1 at 13% provides room for the announced ≥€10 bn buyback without jeopardising targets or the TSB acquisition. The constant-currency revenue uptick and balanced business mix de-risk earnings, though headline NII shrank 3% and Brazil’s CoR remains elevated. Overall impact is positive and material to valuation.

TL;DR – Capital returns accelerate; fundamentals tracking 2025 plan.

The bank generated €0.54 pp organic CET1 in six months while absorbing Poland sale RWA drag, underscoring disciplined allocation. 88% of RWAs beat cost of equity, signalling sustainable RoRWA. Management’s commitment to front-load €3.2 bn of the Poland proceeds into early-2026 buybacks enhances per-share value (TNAV + cash DPS +16% YoY). Risks centre on rate-driven NII compression in Europe and still-high 4.7% CoR in Brazil, but diversified earnings and fee momentum mitigate. I view the filing as clearly shareholder-friendly and impactful.

2 Important information Non-IFRS and alternative performance measures Banco Santander, S.A. (“Santander”) cautions that this document 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) Q2 2025 Financial Report, published on 30 July 2025 (https://www.santander.com/en/shareholders-and-investors/financial-and- economic-information#quarterly-results). Sustainability information This document may contain, in addition to financial information, sustainability-related information, including environmental, social and governance-related metrics, statements, goals, targets, commitments and opinions. Sustainability information is not audited nor reviewed by an external auditor. Sustainability information is prepared following various external and internal frameworks, reporting guidelines and measurement, collection and verification methods and practices, which may materially differ from those applicable to financial information and are in many cases emerging and evolving. Sustainability information is based on various materiality thresholds, estimates, assumptions, judgments and underlying data derived internally and from third parties. Sustainability information is thus subject to significant measurement uncertainties may not be comparable to sustainability information of other companies or over time or across periods and its use is not meant to imply that the information is fit for any particular purpose or that it is material to us under mandatory reporting standards. The sustainability information is for informational purposes only, without any liability being accepted in connection with it except where such liability cannot be limited under overriding provisions of applicable law. Forward-looking statements Santander hereby warns that this document may contain 'forward-looking statements', as defined by the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements can be understood through words and expressions like 'expect', 'project', 'anticipate', 'should', 'intend', 'probability', 'risk', 'VaR', 'RoRAC', 'RoRWA', 'TNAV', 'target', 'goal', 'objective', 'estimate', 'future', 'ambition', 'aspiration', 'commitment', 'commit', 'focus', 'pledge' and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are aspirational, should be regarded as indicative, preliminary and for illustrative purposes only, speak only as of the date of this document and are informed by the knowledge, information and views available on such date and are subject to change without notice. Banco Santander is not required to update or revise any forward-looking statements, regardless of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Past performance does not indicate future outcomes Statements about historical performance or growth rates must not be construed as suggesting that future performance, share price or earnings (including earnings per share) will necessarily be the same or higher than in a previous period. Nothing mentioned in this document should be taken as a profit and loss forecast.

The risk-weighted assets included in the denominator of the RoRWA metric are calculated in line with the criteria laid out in the CRR (Capital Requirements Regulation).

57 Additional notes (1) 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 approximately 50% of the capital that will be released once the sale of its 49% stake in Santander Bank Polska S.A. is completed, through a share buyback of approximately EUR 3.2 billion in early 2026, as part of an additional buyback 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 execution of the shareholder remuneration policy and the aforementioned share buybacks are subject to the corresponding internal and regulatory decisions and approvals.
