Item 1

 

Banco Santander México, S.A. and Subsidiaries

 

The consolidated financial statements of Banco Santander México, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero Santander México (together with its subsidiaries, the “Bank”) filed for Mexican statutory purposes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles and regulations prescribed by the Mexican Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, or “CNBV”), as amended, which are hereinafter referred to as Mexican Banking GAAP. Mexican Banking GAAP is composed of Mexican Financial Reporting Standards ( “NIF” by its Spanish acronym), as issued by the Mexican Board of Financial Reporting Standards (“CINIF”), which, in turn, are supplemented and modified by specific rules mandated by the CNBV. The CNBV’s accounting rules principally relate to the recognition and measurement of impairment of loans and receivables, sale and repurchase agreements, securities loans, consolidation of special purpose entities and foreclosed assets.

 

The most significant differences between Mexican Banking GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as they relate to the Bank, are reconciled and described below:

A description of the IFRS adjustments is presented below:

 

a)Deferred employee profit sharing

 

Mexican Banking GAAP requires the recognition of the deferred compulsory employee profit sharing effect based on the temporary differences arising between book and tax value of the assets and liabilities, while IFRS does not considers this deferred employee profit sharing as an income tax temporary difference.

 

b)Pension and post-employment benefits

 

Adjustments were made to recognize the effects of the first-time IFRS adoption exemption taken in which all unrecognized actuarial gains and losses related to pension and post-employment benefits were recognized on January 1, 2010.

 

 

 

For Mexican Banking GAAP purposes, the net pension liability represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation, plus (minus) the unrecognized actuarial gains or losses of the pension plan, while IFRS requires that the net pension liability reflects the full value of the underfunded status of the pension plan.

 

IFRS requires the immediate recognition of actuarial gains and losses of the year in other comprehensive income without subsequent recycling to profit or loss. Under Mexican Banking GAAP, there is an option to recognize actuarial gains and losses from the year:

 

1)in other comprehensive income as remeasurement of defined benefit obligation and demand their subsequent recycling to profit or loss based on the average remaining life of the pension plan, or

 

2)immediately to profit or loss of the period in which were determined.

 

c)Allowance for impairment losses and provision for off-balance sheet risk

 

For IFRS purposes, the Bank assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk; once the Bank has classified its financial assets according to its credit risk, they are individually or collectively assessed for impairment in order to recognize the allowance for impairment losses arising from credit risk. The expected credit losses model is based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition and considers the following stages:

 

Stage 1 (12-month expected credit losses): This stage includes financial assets that have not had a significant increase in credit risk.

 

Stage 2 (Lifetime expected credit losses): This stage includes financial assets that have had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but that do not have objective evidence of impairment. Interest revenue is still calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset.

 

Stage 3 (Lifetime expected credit losses): This stage includes financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. Interest revenue is calculated on the net carrying amount (net of allowance for impairment losses).

 

Such IFRS criteria differ from the related criteria for Mexican Banking GAAP under which impairment losses and provision for off-balance sheet risk are determined using prescribed formulas that are based primarily on an expected credit losses model. The expected credit losses model formulas are developed by the CNBV using credit losses information compiled from the Mexican lending market as a whole, which may differ significantly from the Bank’s credit loss experience. In some cases, CNBV can approve the use of internal models to determine the allowance for impairment losses under Mexican Banking GAAP, as an alternative to the regulatory expected credit losses model.

 

d)Impairment losses of non-current assets held for sale

 

Under Mexican Banking GAAP, impairment losses from non-current assets held for sale are determined based on formulas prescribed by the CNBV. For IFRS purposes, the Bank determines an estimation based upon the comparison between the fair value less costs to sell and the carrying value of the non-current assets held for sale.

 

 

 

e)Fair value measurements and Reserve for Special Federal Treasury Securities

 

For Mexican Banking GAAP, the fair value measurement of over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives does not consider the counterparty credit risk or the Bank’s own credit risk. For IFRS purposes, the counterparty credit risk and the Bank’s own credit risk is factored into the fair value measurements of OTC derivatives.

 

Due to the lack of trading volume for certain financial instruments, the quoted market prices of such instruments may not have deemed to be sufficiently current for purposes of measuring fair value under IFRS. The adjustments were applicable to 28-day Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate (Tasa de Interés Interbancaria de Equilibrio, or “TIIE”) future contracts traded in the Mexican Derivatives Exchange (“MexDer”). The Mexican Banking GAAP fair values of these financial instruments are the unadjusted quoted market prices (MexDer prices).

 

This adjustment also includes the reversal of a reserve for the probable future decrease in value of Special Federal Treasury Securities (“Special CETES”) that was created by the Bank permitted by the CNBV for Mexican Banking GAAP purposes. The Reserve for Special CETES does not meet the recognition criteria under IFRS.

 

f)Loan portfolio indexed to minimum salary

 

For Mexican Banking GAAP, the balance of the loan portfolio indexed to the minimum salary is adjusted by the current minimum salary rate recognizing an increase in its balance and a deferred credit balance, which will be recognized in profit or loss in a twelve-month period as interest income. Under IFRS, the aforementioned effect is recognized immediately in profit or loss of the period as a gain on financial assets.

 

g)Other adjustments

 

Mainly, it considers the effect under IFRS, since the entry of the lease standard IFRS 16, on January 1, 2019, in which a lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for each of its   leases, with the exemption of leases under 12 months (short term) and leases for which the underlying asset is considered of low value. Subsequently, a lessee must recognize an interest expense and a decrease in the lease liability for lease payments made to the lessor, as well as a straight-line depreciation charge associated with the right-of-use asset.

 

For the Mexican Banking GAAP, changes in lease accounting in accordance with the new standard under NIF (which converges with IFRS) have not yet been adopted. Therefore, a lessee continues classifying each of its leases between operating and finance leases:

 

·Operating leases: an expense is recognized on a straight-line basis for lease payments throughout the lease term.

 

·Finance leases: the underlying asset in PP&E and a lease liability are recognized. The underlying asset will be reduced through accumulated depreciation and the lease liability, which accrues interest expenses, is decreased through lease payments.

 

h)Cash and cash equivalents

 

For Mexican Banking GAAP, “Cash and cash equivalents” or “Funds available” include some items that are mandatory to be presented in this line of the balance sheet but do not comply with the definition of “Cash and cash equivalents” under IFRS.

During the six-month period ended as of June 30, 2019, no changes have occurred in the method and in the scope of consolidation.

 

c.Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to controlling interest by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number of treasury shares, if any, held in the year.

 

Accordingly, basic earnings per share for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were determined as follows:

 

                 
                 
      June 30, 2019     June 30, 2018    
                 
Net income     10,899     9,898    
Net income attributable to controlling interest     10,899     9,898    
Weighted average number of shares outstanding     6,773,864,696     6,777,167,728    
Basic earnings per share (pesos)     1.61     1.46    

 

In calculating diluted earnings per share, the amount of net income before non-controlling interest and the weighted average number of shares issued, excluding the average number of treasury shares, are adjusted to consider all the dilutive effects inherent to potential shares.

 

Accordingly, diluted earnings per share for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were determined as follows:

 

                 
                 
      June 30, 2019     June 30, 2018    
                 
Net income     10,899     9,898    
Net income attributable to controlling interest     10,899     9,898    
Weighted average number of shares outstanding     6,773,864,696     6,777,167,728    
Dilutive effect of rights on shares     13,129,661     9,826,629    
Adjusted number of shares     6,786,994,357     6,786,994,357    
Diluted earnings per share (pesos)     1.61     1.46    

 

Changes in accounting policies applicable in 2019

 

Changes in Accounting Criteria issued by the Commission

 

Accounting Criteria B-6, Loan portfolio and Accounting Criteria D-2, Income Statement

 

On December 27, 2017, certain amendments were published in the Federal Official Gazette (DOF by its Spanish acronym) to the Accounting Criteria issued by the Commission. These Accounting Criteria applicable to credit institutions are adjusted so that they can cancel, in the period in which they occur, the surpluses of the allowance for

loan losses in the income statement, as well as to recognize the recovery of credits previously written-off against the heading "Allowance for loan losses" of the income statement in order to be consistent with international accounting standards established in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

 

This amendment is mandatory on January 1, 2019.

 

Changes in the NIF issued by the CINIF

 

Improvements to NIF 2019

 

Starting January 1, 2019, the Bank prospectively adopted the following Improvements to the NIF, which were issued by the CINIF and were effective on the aforementioned date. These Improvements to the NIF did not have a significant impact on the financial information presented by the Bank.

 

NIF C-6, Property, plant and equipment

 

NIF C-6 establishes that the assets delivered or, if applicable, the assets received in an exchange of assets must be valued at their fair value. Entity must determine such valuation of fair value according to NIF B-17, Determination of fair value.

 

NIF D-3, Employee benefits

 

A transfer of personnel between entities with recognition of seniority implies for the entity that receives the staff the recognition of a retroactive effect of a Modification to the Plan for the introduction of a new plan. For the entity that transfers implies an Early Settlement of Obligations. In the consolidated financial statements, the effects of the transfers between entities of the group are eliminated, unless the benefits are changed at the time of the transfer.

 

A transfer of personnel between entities under common control with recognition of seniority involves recognizing in the stand alone financial statements of the entity that receives the staff a retroactive effect of a Modification to the Plan equivalent to an introduction of a new plan and for the entity that transfer implies an Early Settlement of Obligations. In the consolidated financial statements, the transfer of personnel has no effect, unless the benefits are changed at the time of the transfer.

 

The interest rate used to discount post-employment benefit obligations (funded or not funded) must be an interest rate without or with very low credit risk, such as the interest rate of government bonds and the interest rate of high quality corporate bonds in absolute terms in a deep market, respectively. The chosen interest rate should be used consistently over time. The currency and term of the bonds utilized to obtain the discount rate must be consistent with the currency and the estimated term for the payment of the Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO). The entity must justify the use of a certain interest rate and, in the case of a change of the discount rate, must justify this fact. Any effect on the present value of the labor liability from a change in the discount rate (from government bonds to corporate bonds or vice versa) should be considered as a change in accounting estimate and recognized prospectively, when this occurs, in the income statement of the period based on the provisions of NIF B-1, Accounting changes and error corrections.

 

The Labor Cost of Past Services (“LCPS”) is the increase or decrease in the DBO for services rendered by employees in previous periods, from:

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

for the semesters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and

for the year ended December 31, 2018

 

 

 

a) A Modification to the Plan that, in turn, includes the retroactive effect of benefits to employees by:

 

i. Introduction of a new benefit plan,

 

ii. Benefits assumed by the transfer of employees,

 

iii. Withdrawal of a benefit plan, or

 

iv. Subsequent changes in benefits payable in an established benefit plan; and

 

b) Personnel Reduction

 

A Modification to the Plan occurs when an entity introduces a previously non-existent plan, withdraws or changes the benefits of a defined benefit plan and a Personnel Reduction occurs when an entity significantly reduces the obligation for a reduction in the number of employees covered by the plan (it may arise from an isolated event, such as the closure of a plant or the discontinuance of an operation); this generates a LCPS that is equivalent to the difference between the current DBO and the previous DBO, including, in the case of Personnel Reduction, the payments made by the entity, which corresponds to the increase or decrease in the obligation due to the retroactive effect of previous services on the benefits to employees when performing a Modification to the Plan or Personnel Reduction.

Note 27 - Comprehensive risk management

 

Risk management is considered by the Institution as a competitive element of a strategic nature with the ultimate objective of maximizing the value generated for the shareholder. This management is defined, in a conceptual and organizational sense, as an integral treatment of the different risks (market, liquidity, counterpart, operational, legal and technological) assumed by the Institution in the development of its activities.

 

The Institution's management of the inherent risk of its operations is essential to understand and determine the behavior of its financial situation and the creation of a value in the long term.

 

Trading portfolios

 

To measure risk within a global approach, the Value at Risk (VaR) methodology is followed. The VaR is defined as the statistical estimate of the potential loss of value of a specific position, in a certain period of time and with a certain level of confidence. The VaR provides a universal measure of the level of exposure of different risk portfolios, allows the comparison of the level of risk assumed between different instruments and markets, expressing the level of each portfolio through a single figure in economic units. A more comprehensive explanation of this methodology is included in Note 39 to the Institution’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018.

Asset and liability management

 

As part of the financial management performed by the Institution, the sensitivity of the financial margin or of the net interest margin (NIM) and the sensitivity of the market value of equity (MVE) of the different balance sheet headings is analyzed against interest rate variations. This sensitivity derives from the differences between the expiration and modification dates of interest rates generated in the different headings of assets and liabilities. The analysis is based on the classification of each heading sensitive to interest rates over time, depending on their dates of amortization, expiration or contractual amendment of the applicable interest rate.

 

The NIM and MVE sensitivity analysis of the six-month period of 2019 is as follows:

 

   Sensitivity NIM  Sensitivity MVE
                         
   Apr 19  May-19  Jun 19  Average  Apr 19  May-19  Jun 19  Average

Liquidity risk

 

The Institution carries out liquidity risk management based on differences in the maturity of assets and liabilities, monitoring the maximum profiles of the time lag. This monitoring is based on analysis of the maturity of assets and liabilities, both contractual and management. The Institution makes an estimate for the maintenance of a sufficient quantity of liquid assets to guarantee a survival horizon for a minimum of days in a scenario of liquidity stress without resorting to additional sources of financing. Liquidity risk is limited in terms of a minimum period of days established for local currency, foreign currency and on a consolidated basis.
