HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PERIOD
INCOME STATEMENT: (pages 9 — 12)
 
The Group posted an attributable profit of EUR 1,803 million in a period marked by a difficult economic and financial environment
 
The profit for the first nine months was in EUR 5,303 million, 12.8% less than in the same period of 2010. Earnings per share were EUR 0.5981. The profit was 2.6% lower when excluding the provision of £538 million net of taxes for payment protection insurance remediation (PPI) in the UK made in the second quarter.
 
The Group continued to prove its capacity to generate high operating profits in a very complex environment. Net operating income after provisions increased 6.6% year-on-year.
   
Double-digit growth at Santander Consumer Finance and Sovereign, more moderate in Brazil and Latin America ex-Brazil and declines in the UK due to regulatory effects, Spain and Portugal, hard hit by the macroeconomic environment. Good performance of BZ WBK, which consolidated in the second quarter.
 
   
Retail Banking registered 8.0% growth, while GBM was more impacted by the market’s evolution.
 
The lines of the income statement reflect the main management focus:
   
Good performance of gross income (+5.8%). Net interest income and net fee income notched up another quarterly record. Lower gains on financial transactions and payment of dividends in the quarter due to the environment and seasonal features.
 
   
Operating expenses increased 9.1% because of new business projects, investments in technology and increased installed capacity (802 branches, 14,879 employees).
 
   
Provisions declined 1.0% thanks to falls at Santander Consumer Finance, the UK, Latin America ex-Brazil and Sovereign. Increases in Portugal and Brazil and virtually unchanged in Spain.
STRONG BALANCE SHEET: (pages 13 — 22)
 
Core capital ratio of 9.42% at the end of September, an increase of 22 basic points in the quarter and 62 b.p. over December 2010, after absorbing the impact of the entry of Banco Zachodni WBK and the charge in the UK (PPI), both in the second quarter.
 
Better financing structure (deposits plus medium and long-term funding to loans ratio of 116%, from 113% in September 2010). The liquidity ratio (loans-to-deposits) remained below 120%. Capturing deposits has been very selective this year, giving priority to the return, and activity in wholesale issues remained strong through good access to markets, which kept a solid liquidity position.
 
The Group’s non-performing loans and coverage ratios were 3.86% and 66%, respectively, at the end of September. The NPL ratio in Spain was 5.15% and coverage 46%.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE QUARTER AND SUBSEQUENT ONES: (more detail on page 57)
 
Agreement for the entry of new partners in Santander Consumer USA. SC USA will increase its capital by approximately $1.15 billion.
 
The transaction values the company at $4 billion. Following this transaction, Santander will realize a capital gain of approximately $1 billion.
 
The capital gains resulting from this transaction and from the transaction signed in july with Zurich Financial Services, (about EUR 1,500 million) will be fully allocated in the fourth quarter to reinforce the Group’s balance sheet.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PERIOD
THE SANTANDER SHARE: (page 23)
 
The Santander share price was EUR 6.224 on September 30, 21.8% lower than at the end of June and 33.2% below that a year earlier. Its performance, however, was better than that of the DJ Stoxx Banks, the benchmark banking index (-28.0% and -36.2%, respectively).
 
The first interim dividend charged to 2011’s profits of EUR 0.135 gross in cash per share was paid on August 1, the same amount as that paid as the first interim dividend charged to 2010’s profits.
 
As a result of the good reception given in 2009 and 2010 to Santander Dividendo Elección (scrip dividend), this system will be used again in November for the second interim dividend. This means that shareholders can opt to receive the amount in cash (EUR 0.126 per share) or in shares.
BUSINESS AREAS: (more detail on pages 24-55)
 
Continental Europe: attributable profit of EUR 2,441 million, 10.9% less than in the first nine months of 2010 because of the fall in the units in Spain and Portugal. Santander Consumer Finance, on the other hand, performed well and its profit was 64.8% higher. BZ WBK contributed EUR 172 million in the six months since its consolidation into the Group.
 
United Kingdom: attributable profit of £659 million, very affected by the impact of £538 million charge for payment protection insurance (PPI) made in the second quarter. Excluding this charge, profit was £1,198 million, 8.6% lower.
 
Latin America: attributable profit of EUR 3,528 million, 3.0% more than in the first nine months of 2010. In local currency, growth was also 3.0% fuelled by higher net interest income and fee income driving gross income up 9.6% and offseting the larger investments in commercial capacity, provisions and taxes. Brazil’s attributable profit was EUR 1,973 million, 4.4% lower. In local currency it was 6.1% lower. Good performance in gross income offset by larger provisions, taxes and minority interests.
 
Sovereign: attributable profit of $554 million, 44.4% more than in the first nine months of 2010, with a good performance in gross income and a large fall in provisions.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT
GENERAL BACKGROUND
Grupo Santander is conducting its business against a background of a sharper slowdown in the global economy. The bad US activity figures, and also in Europe in the second quarter and at the beginning of the third, together with uncertainty over the European sovereign debt crisis, pushed up risk aversion and eroded consumer and corporate confidence, producing lower than envisaged growth in the world economy.
 
US growth remained low (+1.3% quarter-on-quarter annualised in the second quarter after 0.4% in the first). The slowdown was sharper and longer than anticipated and confirms the weak recovery. This weakness is likely to continue, at least during the third quarter, judging by the employment figures and the state of household finances, particularly in the current context of volatility in the financial markets.
   
As a result, and with inflation under control (the underlying rate is close to 1.5%), the Federal Reserve continues to keep its eye on activity and remains committed to a soft monetary policy that supports growth,
 
In Latin America, some monetary policy decisions and, more recently, on exchange rates seek to anticipate this environment of low global growth before its impact on activity.
   
Brazil’s growth eased to 3.1% year-on-year from 4.2% in the first quarter. Despite very high inflation (7.3%) that is above target, the central bank started lowering interest rates with two cuts in its Selic rate (-100 b.p. to 11.5% in October). The bank believes that the deterioration in the international scenario, a tighter fiscal policy and measures to moderate capital inflows will be enough to reduce inflationary tensions. In addition, the interest rate move halted the real’s appreciation (BRL1.86/US$1 at the end of September compared to BRL1.56/US$ in June).
   
Mexico’s growth also slowed in the second quarter (+3.3% year-on-year compared to 4.6% in the first three months) because of lower exports, affected by the US, and reduced domestic demand. In this environment, the economy still maintains a dynamism that will enable it to grow by around 3.8% this year, similar to Brazil, according to the International Monetary Fund. Inflation, stable at reasonable levels (3.1% in September), kept official interest rates unchanged (4.5%) and opened up the possibility of cuts in 2012. The peso depreciated and ended September at MXN 13.8/US$1, a level not seen since the middle of 2008.
   
Chile’s growth remained strong in the second quarter (+6.8% y-o-y). Stable inflation (3.3% in September) and the deterioration of the external scenario led the central bank to stop raising interest rates at 5.25%. This caused the peso to depreciate to CLP 521/US$1 at the end of September, with a loss of relative value less than that of the region’s main currencies.
 
In the Eurozone, third quarter indicators continued to point to a deterioration of activity following the slowdown in the second quarter (+0.6% quarter-on-quarter annualised compared to 3.1% in the first three months), a process intensified by the financial tensions from the sovereign debt crisis. The euro depreciated against the dollar (US$1.35/EUR1 at the end of September). This could mean a reversal by the European Central Bank of the rises in interest rates which left the rate at 1.50% in July. Stable inflation (2.5% in August) and moving toward the goal in the coming quarters will facilitate the change.
   
There are significant divergences in growth in the euro zone. The growth of the three countries that have been bailed out has declined, while Italy and Spain are growing but are suffering the effects of the financial contagion. In Germany, after the sharp slowdown (to 0.5% in the second quarter from 5.5% in the first three months), the third quarter indicators continue to point to reasonable expansion.
   
The Spanish economy also grew less in the second quarter (+0.2% quarter-on-quarter annualised, down from 0.4% in the first three months). External demand is still the engine of growth, particularly exports of services (including tourism), as against domestic demand depressed by the decline in public consumption, weak investment (fall in construction) and further job losses. All of this moderated inflation (3.1% in September), a trend expected to continue.
 
The pattern of the slowdown in the UK was similar (+0.7% quarter-on-quarter annualised in the second quarter compared to 1.9% in the first three months), which is expected to continue in the third quarter because of weaker external and domestic demand. With inflation still very high (5.2% in September) and not expected to come down, the Bank of England focused on managing growth risks, keeping the base rate at 0.5% and implementing more quantitative easing. Sterling ended September stronger against a euro affected by the sovereign debt crisis (EUR 1.15/£1).

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT
GRUPO SANTANDER RESULTS
 
Gross income rose 5.8% year-on-year, due to the good evolution of net interest income (+4.4%) and fee income (+10.0%).
 
Worse evolution in the third quarter of gains on financial transactions (because of the market environment) and other operating income (seasonal impact on dividends received).
 
Operating expenses increased 9.1% because of new commercial projects, an increase in installed capacity and technology investments.
 
Loan-loss provisions were 1.0% lower, due to the reduction in specific provisions (-9.5%), offset by the smaller release of generic provisions.
 
Net operating income after provisions rose 6.6% year-on-year.
(IMAGE)
Attributable profit in first nine months was EUR 5,303 million, 12.8% less than in the same period of 2010. The fall was due to an impact of EUR 620 million (£538 million) net of tax from an extraordinary provision made in the second quarter related to Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) in the UK.
Moreover, this was negatively impacted by higher tax pressure, which absorbed 6 percentage points of the year-on-year profit growth.

Net operating income after provisions, which is the best reflection of the underlying business, increased 6.6% year-on-year, spurred by growth in basic revenues (net interest income, fee income and insurance), mainly from retail banking which again increased in the quarter. Together with an economic environment, in which the degree of recovery varies by country, and in order to better interpret the results, several aspects need to be taken into account:
 
There is a perimeter impact of around 3 p.p. in revenues and expenses due to the change in perimeter, mainly resulting from the consolidation of Bank Zachodni WBK and to a lesser extent from AIG in Poland and SEB in Germany (Santander Retail).
 
The first nine month’s results do not include the capital gains from the agreement with Zurich Financial Services signed in July and from the entry of partners in Santander Consumer USA capital agreed in October. Both operations (about EUR 1,500 million net of tax) will be recorded in the fourth quarter and will be used to strengthen the Group’s balance sheet.

Lastly, the exchange rate impact of the various currencies against the euro is virtually zero (less than one p.p. negative) in the comparison of gross income and operating expenses with the first nine months of 2010. By large geographic areas, in the UK and Sovereign there is a negative impact of 2 and 7 p.p., respectively, while in Latin America there is a positive impact of 1 percentage point.
The performance of the income statement and comparisons between the first nine months of 2010 and the same period of 2011 was as follows:
Gross income was EUR 33,254 million, 5.8% higher year-on-year (+3.9% excluding the perimeter and exchange rate effects) and strongly backed by basic revenues (+5.9%).
 
Net interest income rose 4.4% to EUR 22,853 million. This was due to the net impact of several factors.
   
On the one hand, there was a positive effect from the moderate increase in volumes and the improvement in the spreads on loans for the whole Group (from 3.59% to 3.84%).
 
   
Spreads on deposits which compare negatively with previous quarters, are already at the same levels (0.30% in 2010 and 0.29% in 2011).

Negative impact from the higher cost of wholesale funding and the greater regulatory requirements for liquidity in some countries, mainly the UK.
 
Net fee income increased 10.0%, with a favourable performance of those from insurance and services. The latter showed rises in almost all lines: cards, demand deposits, etc. On the other hand, income from securities and custody was lower and virtually unchanged from mutual and pension funds.

Gains on financial transactions increased 6.8%, year-on-year, largely due to Corporate Activities (positive impact of hedging exchange rates compared to losses in 2010), as the operating areas declined because of lower GBM gains, for two reasons. The second and third quarters of 2011 were weak, affected by the environment, whereas in 2010 gains were very high. The relative share of gains on financial transactions in total revenues remained very low at 6%.
 
The rest of revenues (dividends, income accounted for by the equity method and other operating income) rose 1.5% to EUR 366 million.
   
Gross income in the third quarter was 5.2% higher than in the same period of 2010, due to the good performance of basic revenues (+5.3%), and 1.5% lower between the third and second quarters of 2011, because gains on financial transactions were lower (affected by the environment) and also dividends received (seasonal effect), as basic revenues remained stable over the second quarter.

Operating expenses rose 9.1% year-on-year and 6.3% excluding the perimeter and exchange rate effects. The year-on-year performance varied throughout the Group.
In Europe, both the large retail units (Santander Branch Network, Banesto and Portugal) as well as the UK recorded falls in expenses in real terms. Of note were the reductions of 1.8% in Portugal, 1.7% in Banesto and around 1% in the Santander Branch Network.
The global units (GBM and Asset Management) registered higher growth in expenses (+5.9%) because of investments in equipment and technology with the double purpose of strengthening the positions attained in key markets and businesses in previous years, and developing new initiatives, such as the distribution of fixed income products in Europe.
In Latin America, the 11.4% rise (at constant exchange rates) is linked to the drive in new commercial projects, the increase in installed capacity, the restructuring of points of attention, particularly in Brazil, and the revision of collective bargaining agreements in an environment of higher inflation.

Lastly, Sovereign also shows in the comparison with the same period of 2010 (+8.1% in dollars) the impact of investments in technology and commercial structure begun in the second half of 2010.
Net operating income in the first nine months was EUR 18,529 million, 3.3% more than in the same period of 2010 (+2.0% without the perimeter and exchange rate effects) and better than in the first half.
This performance showed the Group’s capacity to continue to generate revenues in a difficult context and comfortably absorb the provisions made for loan losses, which at EUR 7,777 million were 1.0% less than in the first nine months of 2010 (-1.8% excluding the perimeter and exchange rate effects). This was due to the reduced release of generic provisions, as specific ones declined 9.5%, favoured by the charge in the third quarter of 2010 related to Circular 3/2010 of the Bank of Spain.
Similar comments can be made for Spain, where total provisions dropped 1.0% and specific ones 33.7% (-15.1% excluding the impact of the Bank of Spain Circular). There were significant reductions in provisions in the UK, Latin America ex-Brazil, Sovereign and Santander Consumer Finance (including the incorporation of new units). There were rises in Portugal, reflecting the economic difficulties, and in Brazil because of the greater growth in the balance sheet and an increase in the sector’s NPLs in the first half of the year.
Net operating income after provisions was EUR 10,752 million, 6.6% more than in the first nine months of 2010 (+5.0% excluding the perimeter and exchange-rate impacts).
There were strong rises in these results (without the perimeter and exchange-rate effects) in Santander Consumer Finance (+59.5%) and Sovereign (+58.5%) and more moderate in Brazil (+3.2%) and Latin America ex-Brazil (+1.0%). On the other hand there were declines in the UK (-3.9%), after absorbing the significant effects of the regulatory changes, as commented on in greater detail in the relevant section, Spain (-23.1%) and Portugal (-43.9%).
Asset impairment losses and other results were EUR 2,474 million negative compared to EUR 1,218 million, also negative, in the first nine months of 2010, largely due to the provision made in the second quarter for EUR 842 million gross for payment protection insurance remediation (PPI) in the UK.
Profit before tax was 6.6% lower year-on-year at EUR 8,278 million (-8.6% excluding the perimeter and exchange rate effects). The tax charge increased 12.3% to EUR 2,302 million, mainly due to Brazil, Latin America ex-Brazil, Sovereign and Corporate Activities.
The profit from continued operations, after the tax charge, was EUR 5,977 million (-12.3% y-o-y). Attributable profit, after incorporating discontinued operations and minority interests, was EUR 5,303 million (-12.8% y-o-y).
Earnings per share in the first nine months were EUR 0.5981, 14.7% less than in the same period of 2010. These items were slightly affected by the capital increases in 2010 and the beginning of 2011 to convert Valores Santander (convertible bonds) and tend to the remuneration in shares for those shareholders than chose this option, as no adjustment was made retroactively to the number of shares of previous periods.
All the figures pertaining to profits are affected by the extraordinary provision for PPI made in the second quarter, as already commented on. Excluding this provision, attributable profit reached EUR 5,923 million, 2.6% less than in the same period of 2010. Earnings per share were EUR 0.6680 (-4.7% lower y-o-y).
The Group’s ROE was 9.5% and ROTE (measured as attributable profit / shareholders equity less goodwill) was 14.3%.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT
GRUPO SANTANDER BALANCE SHEET
Activity continued to reflect the market context:
 
Lower demand for loans in developed markets (-6% in Spain and -13% in Portugal).
 
 
Growth of 19% in lending in Latin America.
 
 
In funds, special watch on costs and preference for deposits throughout the Group.
Core capital at 9.42%, very solid as befits Grupo Santander’s business model and risk profile.
Shareholders’ equity per share increased again (+EUR 0.18 in the third quarter and +EUR 0.33 in the first nine months) to EUR 8.91.
(IMAGE)
Total managed funds at the end of September amounted to EUR 1,382,920 million, of which EUR 1,250,476 million (90%) were on-balance sheet and the rest off-balance sheet mutual and pension funds and managed portfolios.
Two factors need to be taken into account in the year-on-year comparisons:
 
A positive impact from the perimeter effect of incorporating to the Group the retail banking business of SEB in Germany (Santander Retail) in Santander Consumer Finance, the consolidation of Bank Zachodni WBK in Poland and the purchase of a mortgage portfolio in Mexico.
 
 
A negative one from the depreciation against the euro (end of period rates) of the sterling (1%), the Mexican peso (8%), the Brazilian real (7%) and the Chilean peso (6%). The dollar appreciated 1% against the euro.
The joint impact on changes in customer balances was two percentage points negative in lending and in customer funds.
Lending
The Group’s net lending amounted to EUR 734,302 million, 3% higher than in September 2010. Eliminating the exchange rate and perimeter effects it was 4% higher.
The geographic distribution (principal segments) was also very different by markets.
In Continental Europe, Spain and Portugal’s lending fell by 6% and 13% respectively over September 2010, due to deleveraging. Santander Consumer Finance’s lending increased 10%, partly due to the perimeter effect. The incorporation of Bank Zachodni WBK increased the Group’s net lending by EUR 8,219 million.

Gross lending in Spain amounted to EUR 226,383 million, with an adequate structure (details further on).
   
Loans to the public sector amounted to EUR 12,340 million, +2.4% in the last twelve months.
   
Lending to individuals amounted to EUR 86,099 million, of which EUR 58,554 million were mortgages for homes. These are the healthiest part and with the least risk of further deterioration of the portfolio in Spain because of the different features of this product compared to similar ones in other countries. For example, the principle is amortised as of the first day, the borrowers’ responsibility extends to all their assets and almost all loans are for residences in ownership, with a very low expected loss.
   
In the specific case of Grupo Santander, the portfolio is mostly composed of mortgages that are for the first residence, with an expected loss of around 0.6%. There is a large concentration of loans in the lowest tranches of loan-to-value (87% with an LTV lower than 80%) and the NPL ratio is very low (2.5%).
(IMAGE)
   
Loans to SMEs and companies amounted to EUR 104,067 million.
   
Loans to the construction and real estate sector, for real estate purposes (the one with the greatest risk) stood at EUR 24,369 million, after falling further in the quarter (-EUR 978 million). The total reduction for the year was EUR 2,965 million (-11%).
   
The Group maintained in the year the strategy of previous years to reduce exposure to this segment of greater risk. The total reduction in the last three years amounts to EUR 13,300 million (-35%).
   
In relative terms, this figure is also declining and represents only 3.2% of the Group’s lending and 10.8% of its total loans in Spain.
 
In Portugal, the fall in lending (13% year-on-year) was mainly due to large companies, as there was a shift from loans to capital markets. In addition, balances in construction and real estate, which represent only 4% of lending, declined 9% in the year to September 2011. Balances with individuals dropped 2%.
 
 
Santander Consumer Finance’s balance increased 10% since September 2010, due to organic growth and the integration of Germany, as commented on in greater detail in the section on this area. New loans were 12% higher year-on-year.
In the United Kingdom, the balance of customer loans remained stable in the last 12 months. In local criteria, residential mortgages, in a still depressed market, were stable, while loans to SMEs increased 27%, gaining further market share. Personal loans, reflecting the policy in the last few years of reducing them, declined 15% year-on-year.
Lending in Latin America increased 19% year-on-year excluding the exchange rate impact, due to organic growth and the incorporation of GE’s mortgage portfolio in Mexico. Loans rose 19% in local currency in Brazil, 14% in Chile and 32% in Mexico (+24% excluding the impact of the portfolio acquired).

Sovereign’s loans rose 5% in dollars in local criteria, due to the increase in the most attractive mortgage segments (residential and multifamily), which grew 10% year-on-year, and the acquisition in January 2011 of a consumer credit portfolio from GE. Both effects comfortably offset the exit from higher risk segments and from those not considered strategic for the Group.
At the end of the third quarter, Continental Europe accounted for 45% of the Group’s total lending (30% Spain), the UK 33%, Latin America 17% (10% Brazil) and Sovereign 5%.
If the comparison is made between the months of September and June, and excluding the perimeter and exchange rate effects, loans increased 1%, with the following structure: Continental Europe (-1%), the same as Spain; the UK (+2%);Latin America (+7% and +9% for Brazil) and Sovereign remained unchanged.
Customer funds under management
Total managed funds at the end of September amounted to EUR 976,598 million, 1% lower year-on-year.
After deducting the perimeter and forex effects, which had a negative impact, the increase was 1% distributed as follows: 2% drop in total deposits without repos (demand deposits: +1%; time: -6%), the aggregate of mutual and pension funds declined 3% and the balance of repos, marketable securities and subordinated debt rose 3%.

Deposits grew 3% in Continental Europe.
 
In Spain, the strategy followed in the renewal of funds captured in the campaign of 2010 was to give priority to improved costs over volumes. As a result, deposits without repos fell 11% year-on-year. However, if one compares the balances at the start of the campaign with those at the end of September, growth was more than EUR 21,000 million (+16%).
 
 
Santander Consumer Finance’s deposits increased 34% year-on-year and Portugal’s 15%. The liquidity position was significantly better.
 
 
The incorporation of Bank Zachodni WBK contributed EUR 12,127 million to the Group, of which EUR 9,936 million were deposits.
In the UK, customer deposits increased 4% in sterling year-on-year and mutual funds rose 8%.
In Latin America, deposits grew 23% in Chile, 13% in Mexico and 4% in Brazil, with generalised growth in time and demand deposits, except for Brazil in the latter, which remains virtually flat. Mutual funds increased 24% in Brazil, 4% in Mexico and declined 5% in Chile. Bank savings excluding the exchange rate effect rose 11%.

Lastly, Sovereign’s deposits increased 15% in dollars in the last 12 months.
Continental Europe accounted at the end of September for 39% of managed customer funds (28% Spain), the UK 31%, Latin America 26% (Brazil 15%) and Sovereign 4%.
Taking just the third quarter, and eliminating the impact of exchange rates, managed funds declined 1%. In Continental Europe and the UK they dropped 3%, rose 1% in Latin America and remained stable at Sovereign.
As well as capturing large volumes of funds in the last 18 months, the Group, for strategic reasons, maintained an active policy of issuing securities in the international fixed income markets.
The Group issued in the first nine months of 2011 EUR 21,470 million, EUR 14,383 million and EUR 262 million of senior debt, covered bonds and subordinated debt, respectively.
This issuing activity underscore the Group’s capacity via its parent bank, Banco Santander, and its main subsidiaries to access the different institutional markets in the countries where it operates: Banesto, Santander Totta, Santander UK/Chile/Brazil/Mexico, Sovereign and the units of Santander Consumer Finance, although at higher prices because of the markets’ situation.
As regards securitisations, the Group’s subsidiaries placed in the market during the first nine months a total of EUR 19,559 million.
Issues of senior debt, covered bonds and subordinated debt that matured in this period were EUR 14,825 million, EUR 6,200 million and EUR 4,509 million, respectively.
This capturing of stable funds, via deposits and issues, combined with the trend of reduced growth in lending, brought the loan-to-deposit ratio to 118% (119% in September 2010). The ratio of deposits plus medium and long-term funding to the Group’s loans increased to 116%, underscoring the appropriate structure of funding the Group’s lending.
The Group’s access to wholesale funding markets, as well as the cost of issues depends partly on our credit ratings. A downgrade in our credit ratings could increase the cost of issues and reduce our access to funding in general.

At the time of publication of this report, the Group’s long-term ratings were investment grade from the main rating agencies, as follows:
The rating agencies regularly review the Group and its ratings. The long-term debt rating depends on a series of factors including financial solvency and other circumstances that generally affect the financial industry. The latest reviews are as follows:
 
DBRS confirmed in August the long-term debt rating at AA, changing the outlook from stable to negative after doing the same for Spanish sovereign debt.
 
 
Fitch Ratings on October 11 downgraded six Spanish banks, indicating that this was due to the downgrade of the Kingdom of Spain to AA-, as well as to the fact that banks worldwide and particularly in Europe, face challenges in fundamentals and in the markets. As a result, Fitch ratings for the Group are AA- with negative outlook.
 
 
Also on October 11, Standard & Poor’s downgraded Spanish banks because it believes the sluggish growth prospects, the still depressed real estate market and increased turbulence in capital markets will impact financial entities in the coming months. The Group long-term debt ratings are AA- with negative outlook.
 
 
Moody’s on October 19 also downgraded Spanish entities as a result of downgrading Spain’s sovereign debt to A1. The long-term debt ratings of Banco Santander were downgraded from Aa2 to Aa3, maintaining a negative outlook.
All the agencies confirmed their short-term debt ratings.
Other items of the balance sheet
Total goodwill was EUR 25,914 million at the end of September, EUR 1,986 million more than a year earlier because of the net impact of the entry of BZ WBK, Santander Retail in Germany and GE’s portfolio in Mexico and the reduction caused by exchange rates.
Of note in the rest of the items were:
 
Cash on hand and deposits in central banks rose from EUR 69,183 million in September 2010 to EUR 84,050 million a year later, mainly located in Brazil and the UK, due to the tougher regulations on liquidity requirements established by their central banks, and in Spain.
 
 
Trading derivatives increased, both in assets as well as liabilities (+EUR 8,362 million and +EUR 7,265 million, respectively), due to the evolution of the market value, mainly of interest rate swaps. The balance at the end of September was EUR 102,217 in assets and EUR 101,557 million in liabilities.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL REPORT

Shareholders’ equity and solvency ratios
Total shareholders’ equity, after retained profit, was 7% higher year-on-year at EUR 79,144 million (+EUR 5,391 million), due to the increase in reserves.
Including minority interests, preference shares and valuation adjustments, total net equity and capital with the nature of financial liabilities stood at EUR 85,414 million at the end of September (+EUR 1,978 million in 12 months). The change in valuation adjustments over September 2010 (-EUR 3,653 million), was basically due to the negative impact on the value of subsidiaries abroad of exchange rates (partly covered by hedging). It also includes the negative impact of exchange rates on goodwill, neutral in terms of capital ratios as the same happened on the asset side.
As regards capital ratios, Grupo Santander’s eligible shareholders’ equity, in accordance with the criteria of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS II), amounted to EUR 74,008 million (EUR 29,305 million surplus, 66% above the minimum requirement).
The core capital ratio was 9.42%, after improving 22 b.p. in the quarter. Since the end of 2010 increased 62 b.p., after absorbing the impact of the incorporation of BZ WBK and of the one-off related to the UK (PPI), both in the second quarter.
The core capital is of very high quality, solid and adjusted to our risk profile.
Tier I was 10.74% and the BIS ratio 13.24%.
Lastly, of note is the Group’s sustained capacity to generate retained profits, after deducting dividends in accordance with the Group’s pay-out policy. At the end of September, shareholders’ equity per share was EUR 8.91 (+EUR 0.33 since the end of 2010), an increase that is added to those in the last four years.

RISK MANAGEMENT
RISK MANAGEMENT
 
Prudent risk management that mitigates the impact of the deterioration of the economic environment in some markets.
 
 
The Group’s NPL ratio was 3.86% (+8 b.p in the quarter) and coverage 66%.
 
 
Strong improvement in the quarter at Sovereign and SCF and stability in the other large units, except in Spain, whose NPL ratio remains on an upward trend.
 
 
Loans with real estate purposes in Spain declined EUR 978 million in the quarter (-EUR 2,965 million, -11%, since December 2010). Their share in the Group’s total lending dropped to 3.2%.
Credit risk
The still weak economic growth in some countries is continuing to produce rises in non-performing loans (NPLs), linked to both the increase in bad and doubtful loans as well as to the slower pace of growth in lending.
Active management of the portfolio is reflected in an improvement in the risk premium for the whole Group and its main business units, which led to a slower pace of growth in NPLs in the last few quarters.
The risk premium was 1.67% at the end of September, well below the high of 2.47% in the third quarter of 2009.
Bad and doubtful loans stood at EUR 30,910 million at the end of September, 13.7% more than a year earlier.
Grupo Santander’s NPL ratio was 3.86%, 8 b.p. more than at the end of June 2011 and +44 b.p. since September 2010, partly affected by the incorporation of BZ WBK and the portfolio acquired in Mexico whose NPL ratio is higher than the Group’s average (3.82% excluding this impact).
(IMAGE)
Total loan loss provisions amounted to EUR 20,403 million, of which EUR 5,103 million (25%) were generic provisions.
Loan-loss provisions have risen by EUR 7,540 million since the end of 2008 (+59%), underscoring the effort made in the last three years. Coverage was 66%.
 
The NPL ratio in Spain is 5.15%, well below that of the banking sector as a whole, and coverage 46%. The ratio increased 34 b.p. in the third quarter and 127 b.p. in 12 months,
 
   
In Spain, 90% of the portfolio (including mortgages and companies) has an excellent NPL ratio of 3.2%. The ratio for mortgages for homes is 2.5%, while the remainder of the portfolio, (public sector, individual customers and companies without real estate purposes) has a ratio of 3.4%. NPLs remain stable in both cases in the last quarter.

The higher total NPL ratio, therefore, is because of the NPL ratio of the real estate and construction sector with real estate purposes (24.9%). This ratio reflects, on the one hand, the higher NPL ratio in the segment of the economy and, on the other, the Group’s anticipative policy.
This policy is reflected in the fact that of the EUR 6,062 million recorded as doubtful loans, around 40% is up to date with payments. In addition, EUR 3,425 million is recorded as substandard, all of which is also up to date with payments. In other words, more than 60% of non-performing and substandard loans are up to date with payments and provisions and guarantees adequately cover both of them.
At the end of September, the net balance of acquired and foreclosed assets amounted to EUR 5,810 million, with coverage of 32%, in line with the needs according to valuations. This coverage is above the Bank of Spain’s minimum requirement.
 
In Portugal, the NPL ratio increased 53 b.p. in the third quarter and 135 b.p. in the last 12 months to 3.78%, while coverage remained stable at 53%, 9 p.p. and 16 p.p., respectively, lower than June 2011 and September 2010.
 
Santander Consumer Finance reduced its NPL ratio for the fifth quarter running, to 4.29% (13 b.p. less in the quarter and -84 b.p. in 12 months). Coverage was 132%, 4 p.p. more than in the second quarter and 10 p.p. above September 2010.
 
In the UK, the NPL ratio was 1.88%. It increased 6 b.p. in the quarter and 11 b.p. in 12 months, while coverage was 40%, below the 41% in June 2011 and the 48% in September 2010.
   
Of note in the Group’s total lending are residential mortgages in the UK. This portfolio has evolved favourably. Its NPL ratio at the end of September was 1.42% compared to 1.47% a year earlier. This improvement was due to constant monitoring and control, as well as strict credit policies that include, among other measures, maximum loan-to-value criteria in relation to the properties in guarantee. At the end of September, the average LTV was 52%.
   
Another indicator of this portfolio’s good performance is the low volume of foreclosed properties, which amounted to EUR 151 million and accounted for only 0.08% of the total mortgage exposure. Efficient management of these cases and the existence of a dynamic market for this type of home, which enables a quick sale, contributed to the good results.
 
Brazil’s NPL ratio was 5.05%, the same as in the second quarter and 8 b.p. above September 2010. Coverage, which has hardly changed in seven quarters, was around 100%.
 
Latin America ex—Brazil’s NPL ratio was 2.91%, with an excellent coverage of 108%. Its comparison is affected by the incorporation in the second quarter of GE’s portfolio in Mexico. Excluding this, the ratio was 2.84%, 27 b.p. less than in September 2010, while coverage would be 111%, 2 p.p. below September 2010.

Sovereign’s NPL ratio (3.22%) improved for the seventh consecutive quarter (54 b.p. less than June 2011 and 158 b.p. below September 2010). Coverage rose 8 p.p. in the quarter to 93%, 21 p.p. more than September 2010.
The Group’s net specific loan loss provisions deducting recovered write-offs amounted to EUR 8,255 million in the first nine months of 2011, 1.44% of average credit risk (last 12 months), compared to EUR 9,126 million and 1.65% in the same period of 2010, which included the provision resulting from the Bank of Spain’s change in regulations in September 2010.
Total net provisions represented 1.4% of credits, much lower than net operating income generated for the Group as a percentage of credits (3.4%).
Market risk
The risk of trading activity, measured in VaR terms at 99%, averaged around EUR 23.6 million in the third quarter. It fluctuated between EUR 19.3 and EUR 32.2 million.
The maximum for the quarter was reached on July 11 as a result of the VaR increase in Brazil from the greater risk in exchange rates and increased volatility. The VaR then declined, mainly due to the reduction in exchange rate and interest rate risk in Brazil. As of then, it kept fluctuaring within a narrow range and on September 16 reached a minimum of EUR 19.3 million.

THE SANTANDER SHARE
THE SANTANDER SHARE
Shareholder remuneration
In line with its policy, Banco Santander paid on August 1 the first interim dividend charged to 2011’s earnings of EUR 0.135 gross per share, the same as in 2010.
In accordance with the scrip dividend programme (Santander Dividendo Elección), shareholders can choose to receive the amount equivalent to the second interim dividend in cash or in shares. Every shareholder has a free allotment right of new shares for each share owned. Shareholders can sell the rights to the Bank at a set price (EUR 0.126 gross per right), on the stock market between October 17 and 31 at the market price, or receive new shares in the proportion of one new share for every 49 rights, and in the last two cases without withholding tax(*).
In order to meet this, there will be a rights issue for a maximum of EUR 86,137,739, represented by 172,275,478 shares. The number of new shares to be issued, and thus the amount of the capital increase, will depend on the number of shareholders who opt to sell their free allotment rights to the Bank at a set price.
Shareholders are due to receive on November 3 the amount in cash if they opted to sell their rights to the Bank, and on November 9 the new shares those who chose this option.
Share price performance
Financial tensions in the euro zone intensified in the last quarter, affecting the sovereign debt of various countries and the evolution of markets. In this context, the European Central Bank reactivated in August its programme to buy debt in order to reduce tensions. In September, with insolvency fears in Greece, the ECB, the US Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan and the National Bank of Switzerland agreed to inject liquidity into the financial system until the end of the year.
Another aspect that also affected the markets was the worsening of global growth prospects.
The Santander share ended September at EUR 6.224, 21.8% lower than in June and a larger fall than the Ibex-35 (-17.5%) and the DJ Stoxx 50 (-15.7%), but better than the DJ Stoxx Banks (-28.0%).

INFORMATION BY SEGMENTS
DESCRIPTION OF THE SEGMENTS
Grupo Santander maintained in 2011 the general criteria used in 2010, with the following exceptions:
 
The system for calculating the internal transfer rate (ITR) was changed. Until now Grupo Santander’s management model applied an ITR to each operation on the basis of its maturity and regardless of whether it was an operation for assets or liabilities. After three years of financial and liquidity crisis, the real cost of the liquidity of institutions has been shown to differ from the reference yield curve significantly and constantly.
 
   
As a result, the Group decided to revise the system for measuring the spread by changing the ITR applied by the corporate centre to the units. The new ITR consists of the depo/swap curve (the same as the previous system) plus the “liquidity spread” relative to the period of “duration” of each operation. In other words, it reflects the average cost of Santander’s financing corresponding to the “duration” of each operation.
 
   
This change makes the model more in line with the requirements of regulators, ensures a better pricing of operations and enables the market to better assess the profitability of businesses.
 
 
Change of perimeter in the UK. For the past few years, the Group has been developing a cards platform for the UK, which once operational was integrated into the juridical structure of this unit (with counterparty in the rest of Europe).
 
 
The annual adjustment was made to the Global Customer Relation Model and resulted in a net increase of 94 new clients. This does not mean any changes in the principal (geographic) segments, but it does affect the figures for Retail Banking and Global Wholesale Banking.
None of these changes was significant for the Group and do not alter its figures. The figures for 2010 were restated and include the changes in the affected areas.
The financial statements of each business segment are drawn up by aggregating the Group’s basic operating units. The information relates to both the accounting data of the companies in each area as well as that provided by the management information systems. In all cases, the same general principles as those used in the Group are applied.
In accordance with the IFRS, the business areas are structured into two levels:
Principal level (or geographic). The activity of the Group’s operating units is segmented by geographical areas. This coincides with the Group’s first level of management and reflects our positioning in the world’s three main currency areas (euro, dollar and sterling). The segments reported on are:
 
Continental Europe. This covers all retail banking business (including Banif, the specialised private bank), wholesale banking and asset management and insurance conducted in Europe with the exception of the United Kingdom. Given the importance of some of these units, the financial information of the Santander Branch Network, Banesto, Santander Consumer Finance (including SCF USA) and Portugal are set out and from the second quarter Bank Zachodni WBK after its incorporation to the Group.
 
 
United Kingdom. This includes retail and wholesale banking, asset management and insurance conducted by the various units and branches of the Group in the country.
 
 
Latin America. This embraces all the Group’s financial activities conducted via its subsidiary banks and subsidiaries. It also includes the specialised units of Santander Private Banking, as an independent and globally managed unit, and New York’s business. Because of their specific importance, the financial statements of Brazil, Mexico and Chile are also provided.
In addition, Sovereign’s figures are recorded on their own.
Secondary level (or business). This segments the activity of the operating units by the type of business. The reported segments are:
 
Retail Banking. This covers all customer banking businesses (except those of Corporate Banking, managed through the Global Customer Relationship Model). Because of their relative importance details are provided by the main geographic areas (Continental Europe, United Kingdom and Latin America) and Sovereign, as well as by the main countries. The results of the hedging positions in each country are also included, conducted within the sphere of each one’s Assets and Liabilities Committee.
 
 
Global Wholesale Banking (GBM). This business reflects the revenues from global corporate banking, investment banking and markets worldwide including all treasuries managed globally, both trading and distribution to customers (always after the appropriate distribution with Retail Banking customers), as well as equities business.
 
 
Asset Management and Insurance. This includes the contribution of the various units to the Group in the design and management of mutual and pension funds and insurance. The Group uses, and remunerates through agreements, the retail networks that place these products. This means that the result recorded in this business is net (i.e. deducting the distribution cost from gross income).
As well as these operating units, which cover everything by geographic area and by businesses, the Group continues to maintain the area of Corporate Activities. This area incorporates the centralised activities relating to equity stakes in industrial and financial companies, financial management of the structural exchange rate position and of the parent bank’s structural interest rate risk, as well as management of liquidity and of shareholders’ equity through issues and securitisations.
As the Group’s holding entity, this area manages all capital and reserves and allocations of capital and liquidity. It also incorporates amortisation of goodwill but not the costs related to the Group’s central services except for corporate and institutional expenses related to the Group’s functioning.
   
The figures of the various units of the Group listed below have been prepared in accordance with these criteria and therefore do not match those published by each institution individually.

Basic revenue increased 7.7% year-on-year due to the improvement in net interest income and fee income in the commercial units and consolidation of Bank Zachodni WBK.
 
Controlled expenses: commercial units flat on a like-for-like basis (+0.6%).
 
Attributable profit hit by lower gains on financial transactions and reduced release of generic provisions.
 
Growth strategy: preference for liquidity against a background of low demand for loans.
Continental Europe includes all activities carried out in this geographic area: retail banking, global wholesale banking, asset management and insurance.
Attributable profit was EUR 2,441 million, 10.9% lower than in the first nine months of 2010.
The results reflect the perimeter effect of incorporating Bank Zachodni WBK, AIG’s consumer business in Poland and SEB’s branches in Germany. Overall, the positive impact was around 7 percentage points throughout the income statement. Attributable profit was 18.0% lower on a like-for-like basis.
Strategy
In a still weak environment and with low interest rates, the Group’s strategy continued to focus on the priorities outlined in previous periods and aimed at:
 
defending spreads on loans (those on new ones are improving) and on deposits, which reflect a lower cost in recent months thanks to the strategy followed in the renewal of balances captured in last year’s campaign, where priority was given to improved costs over volumes;
 
control of expenses
 
and risk management very centred on recoveries.
Preference was given in volumes to liquidity and deposits in a context of low demand for loans.
Activity
Lending remained virtually flat year-on-year, as the lower demand in Spain and Portugal was offset by business growth at Santander Consumer Finance and the incorporation of Bank Zachodni WBK.
Deposits rose 3% year-on-year, due to the incorporation of new institutions and Portugal’s evolution, offsetting lower balances in Spain, affected by the strategy followed in the process of renewing maturities of deposits captured in the 2010 campaign.
Growth in mutual funds and pension funds was affected by the strategy of greater preference for deposits
(IMAGE)
Results
Basic revenues grew 7.7% year-on-year driven by Santander Consumer Finance (partially favoured by the incorporations), the entry of BZ WBK and the recovery in net interest income at the Santander Branch Network and Banesto in the last few quarters.
Net interest income rose 5.8% and fee income 13.5%. Deducting the perimeter impact, net interest income remains flat and fee income increased 4.3%.
Operating expenses increased 12.1% year-on-year, due to the perimeter effect as on a like-for-like basis they only rose 1.5%. The Santander Branch Network, Banesto and Portugal reduced their costs.
Provisions for loan losses were 5.1% lower (-7.5% deducting the perimeter impact). This was due to various factors:
 
On the one hand, it reflected the effort being made in risk management and which led to lower specific provisions, favoured by the charge made in 2010 from applying Circular 3/2010 of the Bank of Spain.
 
On the other, the ending of the regulating effect from the release of generic provisions in the commercial units in Spain. Releases amounted to EUR 419 million, down from EUR 1,395 million in the first nine months of 2010.
Attributable profit was EUR 2,441 million.

SANTANDER BRANCH NETWORK
 
Improved underlying results.
   
Further rise in gross income (+1.2%), above those of 2010 for the first time this year.
 
   
Operating expenses declined 0.7%.
 
   
Specific provisions were 32.1% lower.
 
Attributable profit affected by fewer releases of generic provisions.
 
Activity reflected the scant demand for loans and a strategy in deposits which combines cost reduction and volume retention.
The Santander Network posted an attributable profit of EUR 602 million, 10.1% less than in the first nine months of 2010. This was mainly due to the smaller release of generic provisions, as net operating income after provisions, unlike the previous quarters when it declined, rose 2.9%, underscored by the better trend of gross income in recent quarters over last year’s and by the control of expenses.
These results were obtained in a still difficult environment, without sufficient signs of an economic recovery and a very competitive financial sector.
Strategy
The Santander Branch Network maintained its basic management principles: management of prices, strengthening the balance sheet, with particular emphasis on capturing funds, control and early management of NPLs, and austerity in costs. At the same time we continue to take advantage of opportunities to keep on capturing funds and boost customer linkage.
Activity
The process of managing the maturity of deposits captured in the 2010 campaign, when priority was given to reducing their cost (-0.50 p.p. in time deposits), was completed in July. This policy was combined with a high retention level, which resulted in an increase of EUR 8,600 million (+12%) since the start of the campaign.
In the third quarter, after this process was over, deposits began to grow again and amounted to EUR 1,026 million (+1% over June).
Lending in a weak market declined 7% year-on-year. In this context, the Santander Branch Network continued to lead lending via facilities lines, among which were those sponsored by ICO. More than 40,000 of these loans have been made so far this year for a total amount of EUR 2,800 million (market share of 21%).
These loans, together with the rest of those granted in the first nine months, brought the total number of operations to 170,000 (EUR 18,000 million).
At September 30, 340,000 customers had been captured, 5% more than in the first nine months of 2010 after discounting the impact of the campaign to capture funds. Around 40% of them are linked to the “We want to be your Bank” plan as they have benefited from the “Zero service commissions” programme.

Results
Gross income was EUR 3,351 million, 1.2% more in the year-to-year reversing the trend of the last two years of lower revenues. Growth was due to net interest income as the strategy to improve spreads, particularly on deposits, enabled the customer spreads (the yield on lending less the cost of funds) to increase by almost one p.p. (from 1.43% in September 2010 to 2.31%) and fee income (+2.2%), mainly those from insurance activity.
Operating expenses continued the downward trend of the last years, which is particularly significant given that inflation is around 3% and the branch network’s commercial capacity has remained virtually unchanged, with no significant closures, unlike the general trend. The efficiency ratio improved 1 p.p. to 45.8% at the end of September (42% excluding amortisations) and net operating income rose 2.9% to EUR 1,815 million.
Credit risk and NPL management continued to be given maximum priority. The NPL ratio was 7.70% in the commercial network at the end of September (excluding wholesale activities) and 5.63% at the parent bank, comparable with the rest of institutions which are banks and well below the average of them. Coverage ratios were 41% for the network and 39% for the parent bank.
Net provisions were EUR 970 million, 11.7% more than in the first nine months of 2010 due to the net between the lower release of generic provisions and reduced specific provisions, party due to the management carried out and partly to the impact of the one-off charge in 2010 from applying Bank of Spain’s Circular 3/2010.
Net operating income after provisions was EUR 845 million, 5.7% less year-on-year.

BANESTO
 
Basic revenues virtually flat in the quarter.
 
Operating expenses down 1.7%.
 
Stable specific provisions in the three quarters of 2011, and much lower than those in 2010.
 
Profit hit by lower release of generic provisions.
 
NPL ratios still better than the sector’s.
 
Credit growth reflected the lower demand and in deposits focus on the return.
Banesto generated an attributable profit of EUR 189 million in the first nine months, 54.1% lower than in the same period of 2010.
Strategy
The third quarter was a complicated one for banks, because as well as the still weak economic growth there were other uncertainties that produced tensions and volatility in the markets. In this context, the priorities were to capture and link customers, make provisions to strengthen Banesto’s financial position and control expenses.
Activity
The bank’s liquidity situation and its large number of customers facilitated profitable and efficient management of funds. In the year, there was a greater focus in return over volumes, thus resulting, at the end of September, in lower customer deposits excluding repos, 14% less than a year earlier, but in line with those at the end of 2009.
The lower demand for loans reduced the scope for lending. The volume of loans at the end of September was 7% lower than a year earlier at EUR 69,245 million.
The weak environment pushed up the NPL ratio to 4.69%, although this increase was mainly due to the lower volume of total loans as in the first nine months NPLs increased by only EUR 165 million. Coverage at the end of September was 53%.
Results
Net interest income was EUR 1,030 million, 14.6% less than in the first nine months of 2010. The reduction was due to the impact of lower activity on business and the rise in financing costs which, however, was limited by management of prices and of the balance sheet.
Net fee income was EUR 462 million, the same as in the first nine months of 2010. Income from services increased 2.5% year-on-year, thanks to customer management and linkage which produced a rise in transactional business and use of value-added services. Income from mutual and pension funds was 14.7% lower year-on-year, due to the drop in average fee income and customer preference for other types of savings.
The tensions in markets impacted gains on financial transactions, both because of the reduced levels of customer activity as well as the high volatility of markets in recent months. Gains were 11.3% lower year-on-year at EUR 103 million.
(IMAGE)
Gross income was EUR 1,634 million, 10.9% less than in the first nine months of 2010.
The environment demands strict control of efficiency. Operating expenses were EUR 758 million, 1.7% less year-on-year. The efficiency ratio was 46.4%.
Net operating income declined 17.6% year-on-year to EUR 876 million.
Total provisions and write-downs were EUR 597 million, with net loan-loss provisions at EUR 461 million (EUR 459 million at September 2010). This was due to the net between lower specific provisions (EUR 574 million vs. EUR 908 million in 2010, including the EUR 178 million impact of the change in the Bank of Spain’s regulation) and lower use of generic provisions this year (EUR 337 million).
Furthermore, Banesto made additional provisions of EUR 136 million this year to strengthen its financial position. Of this amount, EUR 28 million were for provisions for early retirements made in the first half of the year and the rest for coverage of loan loss provisions and foreclosed properties.
Profit before tax was EUR 279 million. Attributable profit after taxes and minority interests was EUR 189 million.

SANTANDER CONSUMER FINANCE
 
Profit surged 64.8%, thanks to 15.6% growth in gross income and a 22.8% fall in provisions.
 
The rise in results was backed by all areas.
 
Larger volumes, concentrated in Germany and Nordic countries, and strict management of prices in order to offset the higher cost of funding.
 
Further improvement in liquidity and credit quality (lower NPLs and coverage at maximums).
SCF’s attributable profit in the first nine months was EUR 990 million, 64.8% more than in the same period of 2010.
Strategy
The SCF business model is based on portfolio diversification, leadership in core markets, efficiency, control of risks and recoveries and a single pan-European platform.
In Europe, the focus was on organic growth and cross-selling, backed by brand agreements, greater penetration in the used car segment and a rise in new car sales in Central European and Nordic countries. In Germany, Santander Retail (formerly SEB) took its first steps, concentrating on mortgages and capturing customer funds.
In the US, sharp rise in new loans from low levels combined with the contribution from the portfolios incorporated. In the fourth quarter, agreement for the entry of new partners in SC USA (US$1,150 million of new capital) to strengthen business and increase the capacity for future growth.
Activity
Gross lending amounted to EUR 74,475 million, 10% more year-on-year because of organic growth and the integration of businesses in Germany, which offset the accelerated amortisation of portfolios in the US.
New lending amounted to EUR 20,766 million in the first nine months (+12% y-o-y), spurred by auto finance for used cars (+14%) and direct lending, particularly in Germany (+22%). Weaker activity in durable goods (-0.2%) and new cars (+4%), though somewhat better than car sales in Europe (-1%).
In local currency terms, lending rose in Germany (+16%), the Nordic countries (+9%), the US (+55%), Spain (+9%) and Poland (+42% backed by AIG). On the other hand, declines in Italy (-10%) and the UK (-4%), although better than the average of these markets.
Customer deposits increased 34% to EUR 34,183 million, fuelled by SC Germany and the entry of Santander Retail. This unit took advantage of its “welcome” campaigns to grow in balances and customers (+EUR 1,500 million and +30,000 accounts in six months). As regards wholesale funds, SCF placed new securitisations in the third quarter (more than EUR 3,000 million in the first nine months).
All of this enhanced SCF’s liquidity position (customer deposits and medium- and long-term funding cover 68% of loans, +10 p.p. in a year) and continued to reduce recourse to the parent bank.

Results
Gross income increased 15.6% y-o-y, backed by the most basic revenues: net interest income (+14.4%), due to the rise in the average portfolio and better spreads, fee income (+25.2%), basically due to servicing in the US, and greater penetration of key European countries (Germany, Poland and Norway).
Higher expenses (+32.4% y-o-y) due to the new incorporations. The new units left the efficiency ratio at 30.9% with clear opportunities for improvement (Santander Retail’s ratio was 89% at the end of September).
Sharp fall in loan-loss provisions (-22.8% y-o-y), causing net operating income after provisions to increase 59.5%. The lower provisions reflect the improvement in the quality of the portfolio: NPL ratio of 4.29% (September 2010: 5.13%) and high coverage (132%), after absorbing the impact of the new incorporations.
These trends in revenues, costs and provisions produced the 64.8% jump in attributable profit.
The trends were similar in individual countries, with rises in all areas. Santander Consumer USA doubled its contribution (+121% in dollars), due to its three basic drivers: larger average volumes (organic generation and incorporation of portfolios), higher revenues from servicing and the lower cost of credit. Germany’s profits grew 18.6%, driven by growth new in lending and the risk improvement.
The performance was very positive in the rest of the units, particularly the Nordic countries (attributable profit: +15.6% year-on-year in local currency), the UK (+26.3% in sterling) and in Spain, which returned to profit thanks to lower provisions. Lastly, the unit in Poland more than doubled its profit because of the incorporation of AIG.

PORTUGAL
 
The difficult economic environment led the country to seek and receive financial aid from the EU and implement adjustment measures.
 
Revenues dropped 18.5% because of the strong competition for liquidity and the situation in the markets.
 
Lower expenses (-1.8%) and higher provisions (+18.3%) reflect very prudent management in an unfavourable environment.
 
Further fall in lending and rise in deposits. The deleveraging target set for the whole of 2011 has already been reached.
Santander Totta’s attributable profit was EUR 129 million, 64.9% lower year-on-year.
Environment
Economic conditions worsened in the second quarter, especially domestic demand, which fell 5.2% year-on-year. Private consumption declined 3.4% in the second quarter and although the unemployment rate (12.1%) improved a little households expect it to rise.
External demand remained dynamic and exports grew.
This evolution reflects the adjustments made and the adoption of further measures by the government to meet the budget deficit target of 5.9% of GDP this year. The International Monetary Fund, in its assessment of the austerity programme, said “the programme is proceeding as expected and all the criteria for the end of June and July were met.”
Under the rescue plan agreed with international institutions, Portuguese banks will have to implement various restructuring measures, mainly regarding reducing the level of the banking system’s leverage; cutting exposure to the European Central Bank and boosting the core capital ratios (to 9% at the end of 2011 and 10% at the end of 2012). The financial system is already adjusting (moderate reduction in lending and increase in deposits).
Activity
In this environment, Santander Totta pursued its deleveraging policy. Deposits amounted to EUR 22,812 million, 15% more than in September 2010. Lending, on the other hand, dropped 13% to EUR 28,945 million (individuals; 2%, SMEs; 6%, and the rest of firms; above 20%).
The evolution of deposits and lending improved the structure of the balance sheet and reduced the commercial gap by EUR 2,200 million over the end of 2010 (goal of EUR 2,000 million for the whole year).
Mutual funds declined 38%, reflecting the greater aversion to risk.
Results
Attributable profit was EUR 129 million, 64.9% lower year-on-year, due to the 18.5% drop in gross income and an 18.3% rise in loan-loss provisions. Operating expenses declined 1.8%.
(IMAGE)
Net interest income of EUR 456 million was 17.2% lower than in the first nine months of 2010, due to the reduction in lending (but with higher spreads) and the higher cost of wholesale and retail funding due to greater competition to capture deposits.
Net fee income dropped 1.9% to EUR 270 million, reflecting the reduction in lending, funds and financial insurance, which was partly offset by fee income from GBM.
Gains on financial transactions amounted to EUR 6 million 89% lower than the first nine months of 2010 when gains were much higher because of the different market context.
As a result, gross income was EUR 749 million, 18.5% less than in the same period of 2010, while operating expenses declined 1.8%. The efficiency ratio was 52.6% and net operating income at EUR 355 million was 31.4% lower.
Loan-loss provisions, other income and allowances amounted to EUR 190 million, double that in the first nine months of 2010 and reflecting the difficulties of the economic cycle. The NPL ratio in September was 3.78% and coverage 53% (using Spain’s criteria).
Profit before tax was EUR 165 million, down 62.7% and attributable profit EUR 129 million.

RETAIL BANKING POLAND (BZ WBK)
 
Consolidated as of April 1, 2011.
 
Attributable profit of EUR 172 million in the two quarters (equivalent to 4% of the operating areas’ total in the same period).
 
Solid funding structure: loan-to-deposits ratio of 83%.
 
High growth potential due to the favourable macroeconomic environment, solid presence in the market, management capacity and generation of synergies.
Description of the bank and its environment
Banco Santander completed its acquisition of 95.67% of BZ WBK on April 1 after launching its takeover bid in the first quarter for full control, together with the 50% stake of BZ WBK Asset Management still in the hands of AIB. Group BZ WBK is now integrated into Grupo Santander, consolidating its second quarter results and business.
BZ WBK enables Grupo Santander to develop its activity in Poland, a country with considerable potential: 38.5 million citizens and a GDP which is more than 40% of that of the other new EU members. Its economy is stable (the only EU country not to have suffered a recession in the last decade), growing (+4% forecast for 2011) and needing to complete its infrastructure and with a low level of “bankarisation” (lending represents around 50% of GDP). All of these factors make the outlook good for banking business.
BZ WBK has the third largest branch network in Poland (619 including 92 agencies), 9,563 employees, 2.5 million retail customers and over EUR 20,000 million of loan and customer funds (mostly deposits).
Its business model is commercial banking, focusing on retail and company clients (SMEs and corporations), and it has a notable presence in asset management, intermediation of securities and leasing. All of this fits well with the retail business model of Santander and provides a significant growth potential in results in the next few years, both via business as well as from synergies.
BS WBK conducted its business in an economy growing at 4.3% in the second quarter, fuelled by domestic demand (more consumption and pick up in investment). This stronger activity is reflected in banking business that is growing at close to 10% in 2011.
Inflation is close to 4.1% and made the central bank raise its interest rates to 4.5% (+100 b.p. since the end of 2010). The zloty remained stable against the euro until August when market uncertainty caused it to slide (PLN 4.20/euro).
Integration of BZ WBK in Grupo Santander
In the first six months under Santander management, and in cooperation with the local management team, the first steps were taken to ensure the improvements in operating and commercial efficiency announced to the market.
Of note were:
 
In the technology and operations area, measures to control costs were put into effect, as well as the global integrator of Group purchases, with short-term objectives.
 
The first steps were taken in the risk and financial areas to adjust the organisation, processes and IT systems in order to ensure control and standardisation. Of note was the progress made in installing the corporate risk model, now operating for large companies.
 
Global business units were launched which combine local knowledge and the Group’s experience. Tangible progress was made in Global Banking and Markets with the customer base of the global relationship model in the country.
 
The best practices in commercial banking were analysed and identified based on the long experience of both institutions.
Balance sheet and results
BZ WBK registered as of September EUR 8,219 million of net loans and EUR 9,936 million of deposits (1.1% and 1.6% of the Group’s lending and deposits, respectively).
In the first six months under Santander management, loans increased 10% (+5% in the quarter) and deposits 6% (increases both in companies and individual customers).
Attributable profit (six months) was EUR 172 million, backed by solid gross income of EUR 477 million. Of this amount, EUR 245 million came from net interest income (+3.2% in the quarter in local currency), which improved its return on assets over 2010, and EUR 171 million from fee income, due to the importance of asset management business and brokerage of securities.
Loan-loss provisions absorbed only 15% of net operating income. In line with the macroeconomic situation, credit quality improved, the NPL ratio dropped and coverage rose.
In local criteria, these results compared very well with the first nine months of 2010, as basic revenues increased 10% and attributable profit 40%.
OTHER BUSINESS
The rest of businesses (GBM, asset management, insurance and Banif) generated attributable profit of EUR 358 million, 48.0% lower than in the first nine months of 2010.
The reason for the fall was that Global Wholesale Banking, the main unit included here, accounts for 83% of profits. Its attributable profit was 53.1% lower because of reduced gains on financial transactions, as in 2010 they were high at EUR 399 million (EUR 38 million loss in 2011, hard hit by the market situation). Net interest income and fee income performed better and increased 3.8%.

UNITED KINGDOM
 
Attributable profit of £659 million, impacted by a the provision of £538 million in June for payment protection insurance remediation (PPI). Excluding this provision profit was £1,198 million.
 
Better financial position: In 2011, £3,000 million from disposal of non-core assets and £23,200 million from medium-term issues offset the pressure from the strong competition in capturing customer deposits.
 
Better than expected evolution of non-performing loans, particularly in mortgages and UPLs.
Santander UK posted an attributable profit of £659 million in the first nine months of 2011. This included the impact net of tax of a provision of £538 million in the second quarter, related to payment protection insurance (PPI) remediation, in line with what has been done by other British banks.
Excluding this charge, profit was £1,198 million, 8.6% less than in the first nine months of 2010. The reduction was due to higher costs derived from regulatory changes (negative impact of £253 million net of taxes compared to the first nine months of 2010).
Environment
GDP growth slowed in the second quarter (to +0.7% quarter-on-quarter annualised), affected by certain negative factors such as the impact of Japan’s tsunami on industrial output. With inflation at 5.2% in September, household income is being eroded.
Despite the rise in inflation and due to the continued uncertainty over an economic recovery, the Bank of England held its base rate at the historic low of 0.5% and expanded the quantitative easing programme.
Strategy
Santander UK’s business includes Abbey since 2004, the deposits and branches of Bradford & Bingley since September 2008 and Alliance & Leicester since October 2008. We refer to these businesses as Santander UK.
Thanks to the combination of the three businesses, Santander UK has attained market shares of more than 10% in core segments such as mortgages and deposits. It continues to increase the range of retail banking products and services, while growth in loans to SMEs remains one of its priorities. All of this is accelerating the objective of converting Santander UK into a commercial bank offering all services and products.
The strategy consists of becoming much more customer-focused, diversifying the business mix and making Santander UK the bank of choice for SMEs. In order to support each of these goals, we remain focused on efficiency, service and a desire to be the best company to work for.

Activity
Santander UK’s balance sheet primarily consists of residential mortgages, with no exposure to self-certified mortgages or subprime and less than 1% of buy-to-let loans. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 126% at the end of September (129% a year earlier).
The following information on activity is in local criteria. Customer loans amounted to £200,800 million, 1% more than September 2010 and driven by the strong increase in loans to SMEs (+27%), offsetting the drop in personal loans. The stock of mortgages was unchanged.
In a still weak market, net mortgage lending in the third quarter amounted to £600 million. Gross new mortgages amounted to £16,800 million, £2,400 million less than in the first nine months of 2010. Our estimated market share in the quarter is 18%, above our natural share. The third quarter results were the best of the year for net and gross mortgage lending. Spreads improved, while the loan-to-value (LTV) on new loans was 65% and on the stock of lending 52%.
Loans to SMEs via the network of regional business centres kept up their strong pace and amounted to £10,200 million, 27% higher than in the first nine months of 2010. The market share was 4.3%, 0.9 p.p. more than in September 2010.
Personal loans (UPLs) balances were 15% lower year-on-year at £3,000 million. Selective marketing of this product was begun a few months ago at favourable risk adjusted spreads to lower risk customers. This is reflected in the increase in gross lending (+12% y-o-y).
Santander UK continued to dispose of non-strategic assets. Their portfolio stood at £6,400 in September, 32% lower than at the end of 2010 and 70% below December 2008.
Retail deposits (£150,800 million) are very similar to those of September 2010, due to the slowdown in the UK deposits market and tough competition in prices.

INFORMATION BY PRINCIPAL SEGMENTS
The loan-to-deposits ratio was 126%, 3 p.p. less than in September 2010. In the first nine months £23,200 million of medium and long-term securities were issued, which helped to improve the bank’s financing position, as they replaced short term funding and expensive retail deposits. The issues cover a broad range of products and at good rates given the market environment.
The opening circa 650,000 current accounts in the first nine months continued to reflect the success in attracting quality customers. A marketing campaign was launched in September to promote new current accounts and credit cards, as part of a new strategy to develop better and more lasting relations with customers. The new current account offers better incentives to existing customers who change their main account to Santander and credit card cashback (reimbursements / rebates on purchases), which will help to increase placement of cards (total: 404,000; +22%).
Results
Attributable profit was £659 million, following the impact of the extraordinary provision established for PPI claims. Excluding this one-off, profit was £1,198 million.
Gross income declined from £4,102 million in the first nine months of 2010 to £3,780 million, due to the new liquidity regulations, the higher cost of funding and maintaining very low interest rates
Net interest income was 11.2% lower year-on-year, reflecting the higher cost of liquid assets. The total commercial spread was slightly lower at 1.96%, with higher spreads on loans more than offset by the greater cost of liquidity and funding.
Customers’ preference for variable rates mortgages continued, although at a slower pace than in 2010, and helped to mitigate the impact of low interest rates. Higher net interest income in SMEs and corporations reflected growth in deposits and loans, with spreads on new loans continuing to increase.
Net fee income was 3.4% higher, due to the change in the structure of fee income from retail banking, where interest on overdrafts was replaced by a flat rate.
Gains on financial transactions remained flat, due to the impact of market volatility.
Operating expenses were slightly higher (+0.9%) in nominal terms (lower in real terms after adjusting for inflation) than in the first nine months of 2010 due to investments to grow Corporate Banking and Global Banking & Markets. The hiring of 1,100 people to improve customer service was completed in the first half of 2011, which enabled Santander UK to repatriate to the UK telephone attention centres that were abroad.

The efficiency ratio was 43.8%, 3.8 p.p. worse than September 2010. If we exclude the negative impact of regulatory changes, the efficiency ratio would have been around 40% and broadly similar to 2010.
Loan-loss provisions were 41.5% lower, due to the improved evolution of retail products.
The NPL ratio continued to evolve better than expected and only inched up 0.11 p.p. since September 2010 to 1.88%. There was a better performance in all products for individual customers, particularly mortgages and personal loans, and a slight deterioration in the third quarter in corporate loans. The stock of properties in possession remained very low (0.06% of the total portfolio compared to 0.05% at the end of 2010). In general, the trends were better than the sector’s, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML).

Enhanced profile of the income statement with greater role of customer revenues and commercial activity. Basic revenues: +11.5%.
 
Net operating income after provisions increased 2.4% (in local currency).
 
Strong business orientation, reflected in a faster pace of activity, both in lending (+19%) and in deposits (+9%).
 
NPLs remained low, reflecting the good economic environment and active management of risk.
Santander generated attributable profit of EUR 3,528 million in the first nine months of 2011, 3.0% more than in the same period of 2010, both in euros and in constant currency.
Economic environment
The region’s growth continued to be strong in the second quarter at around 4.2% on average. The consensus of analysis for the whole of 2011 is a little lower, impacted by the deterioration in the international environment.
Inflation varies, with a group of countries at close to 3% and under control (Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru) and another group with higher rates (Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina).
Although during the second quarter, most central banks continued to lift their interest rates, in the last two months they began to change their stance, in recognition of the deterioration in the international environment. This change will ease pressures on inflation and on productive activity. In this context, Brazil’s central bank decided at its last two meetings to cut its Selic rate, while the rest of central banks held their rates and adopted downward stances in their monetary policy statements.
As regards external demand, exports continued to surge in the second quarter (+28% y-o-y, up from +26% in the first quarter). The region has a very healthy external position, with a moderate current account deficit of 1.7% of GDP this year, according to the consensus of forecasts, and high capital inflows including a significant direct investment component. The stock of international reserves was $644 billion in June (13.4% of the estimated GDP for 2011).
The evolution of public sector accounts is also good, with an overall fiscal deficit of less than 2.5% of GDP and public debt at around 50% of GDP. This gives Latin America a significant cushion externally and fiscally to face any external shocks.
In the countries where Santander operates, bank savings increased 17% year-on-year (+14% demand deposits).
(IMAGE)
Lending by the region’s banking systems, after recovering in 2010, increased 20% in the last 12 months excluding the exchange rate impact. Loans to individuals increased 23%, via credit cards 20%, consumer credit also rose 20% and loans to companies and institutions 19%. In general terms, and considering the financial systems with the greatest weight, Brazil and Mexico’s savings grew the most.
Because of their impact on business and on converting figures into euros, the evolution of interest rates and exchange rates is commented on:
 
Average short-term interest rates, based on the region’s average weighted rate, rose between the first nine months of 2010 and the same period of 2011. In general terms, interest rates began to rise in the second half of 2010 and gradually increased throughout the year. In the second half of 2011, however, in view of the worsening of the international macroeconomic scenario and the uncertainty in the financial markets, central banks decided to adopt a downward stance in their monetary policies, which is already reflecting in their short term interest rates.

The evolution of results in euros is affected by average exchange rates. In global terms, Latin American currencies appreciated against the dollar, except for the Argentine peso, while the dollar, the reference currency in Latin America, depreciated 7% against the euro. In average terms, the Brazilian real strengthened against the euro from 2.33 to 2.29 and the Chilean peso from 682 to 667, while the Mexican peso depreciated from 16.67 to 16.91.
Overall, the favourable impact from the conversion of the results to euros is less than 1 p.p. in revenues and costs and zero in profits.
Strategy
The financial systems benefited from the favourable economic environment, underscored by the strong growth in lending and savings.
In these circumstances, the Bank continued to focus on harmonious growth in the balance sheet, with a clear emphasis on customer deposits and safeguarding the liquidity position.
The Bank also continued to focus on selective growth in lending, managing spreads, optimising the mix of products and segments and handling appropriately the risk/return relation.
The pillars of a strategy centred on creating value for customers and shareholders were efficiency in costs, in a context of investments and new commercial projects, prudence in risks and efficient management of capital and liquidity.
The Group also kept the emphasis on customer management, focusing on linkage and transactions.
At the end of September, the Group had 5,964 traditional branches and points of banking attention and in companies. Grupo Santander is the largest franchise in the region. Its aim is to double the business volumes of the next competitor.
The main developments in business and results in the first half of 2011 are set out below. All percentage changes exclude the exchange-rate impact.
Activity
Lending increased 19% year-on-year (+18% excluding the $2 billion purchase of the portfolio of mortgages from General Electric in Mexico), with growth in all products and segments. Of note in the last twelve months was the 26% growth in cards and 21% in commercial credits (companies in all their range and institutions) and 28% in mortgage loans (+16% excluding GE).
Deposits rose 9%, (demand: +8% and time: +9%). Mutual funds increased 17% (+11% for total savings y-o-y).
The average market shares in the countries where the Group operates are 11.2% in loans; 9.6% in deposits and 9.5% in total banking business.
Main focuses of management in 2011
1  
Focus on generating revenues, with strong business, management of spreads and activities that generate fee income.
2  
Focus on customer deposits.
 
3  
Selective growth in lending, centred on the margins net of risk premiums.
 
4  
Management of customers, focused on linkage and transactions.
 
5  
Investment in installed capacity in all countries under the principle of austerity and efficiency.
Results
Basic revenues (net interest income, fee income plus insurance) continued the good trend. They rose 11.5% year-on-year, with net interest income up 11.5%, fee income 10.1% and 44.8% from insurance business.
The rise in fee income (+10.1%) was due to the 41.5% advance in revenues from insurance, 26.4% from cards and 7.9% from mutual funds.
Gains on financial transactions dropped 9.3% year-on-year. Gross income increased 9.7%.
Operating expenses were up 11.4% year-on-year, due to new business projects, expanding the installed capacity, restructuring the points of attention and renegotiating charges and collective bargaining agreements in line with inflation. The efficiency ratio was 38.9%, almost the same as in September 2010.
The current macroeconomic environment, together with anticipative risk management, produced an improvement in risk premiums (from 3.9% in September 2010 to 3.6% in the same month of 2011). The NPL ratio was 4.10% (4.15% in September 2010) and coverage 102%.
Attributable profit was EUR 3,528 million, 3.0% more than in the first nine months of 2010.
Retail Banking’s attributable profit rose 2.4% year-on-year, Asset Management and Insurance’s 10.7% and Global Wholesale Banking’s 2.4%.

INFORMATION BY PRINCIPAL SEGMENTS
BRAZIL (ALL CHANGES IN LOCAL CURRENCY)
 
New quarterly record in gross income (+13.3% in basic revenues year-on-year ).
 
Operating expenses reflect the collective agreement and the commercial investment (opening 167 branches in 12 months).
 
Higher provisions due to increased business and moderate rise in the sector’s NPLs.
 
Net operating income after provisions increased 3.2%.
 
Lending and savings grew 8% and 1%, respectively, in the third quarter over the second.
Santander Brazil generated attributable profit of EUR 1,973 million in the first nine months, 4.4% lower than in the same period of 2010 (-6.1% in local currency).
The top part of the income statement is very solid. Gross income rose 11.8% which coupled with a slight improvement in the efficiency ratio, now at 36.8%, produced a 12.5% increase in net operating income.
This increase enabled the larger provisions to be absorbed, maintaining net operating income after provisions in positive growth rates. This, however, did feed through to profits mainly because of the higher tax rate and minority interests, which combined, had a negative impact of 7 p.p. on profit growth.
Economic and financial environment
The latest figures show GDP growing at 3.1% year-on-year (down from 4.2% in the first quarter). Industrial output and consumer confidence remained high and the unemployment rate was historically low.
The combination of these factors, together with seasonal pressures, kept inflation high (7.3%) and above target. In this context, the central bank began to lift interest rates, interrupting the process at the Copom meeting in August because of the deterioration of the macroeconomic situation in some European countries and prospects of reduced growth in emerging countries.
The banking system’s total lending grew 1.7% in August (latest available) and 19.4% in 12 months. Loans represent 48% of GDP.
Unrestricted lending grew at a slower pace than directed lending, both in August (latest figure available) (1.4% vs. +1.7%), as well as year-on-year (+17.9% vs. +19.4%).
The NPL ratio was 5.3% in August, 0.8 p.p. more than at the end of 2010.
Strategy
Santander Brazil is the third largest private sector bank in terms of assets, and the leading foreign bank, with a combined market share of 9.3% in loans and deposits. It operates in the main regions, with 3,731 branches and points of banking attention, 18,342 ATMs and 24.7 million customers.
At the beginning of the year, it successfully completed the technological integration and brand unification. The bank is now better structured and positioned to develop its business.
(IMAGE)
The strategy is to become the best and most efficient bank in Brazil, both in generation of shareholder value as well as in customer and employee satisfaction. The following goals have been set:
 
Be the best in quality of service, backed by the strength of the IT platform.
 
Intensify relations with customers.
 
Business strengthening in key segments such as SMEs, acquiring business, cards, real estate loans and consumer credit; and boost cross-selling.
 
Better recognition of the brand.
 
All of this accompanied by prudent risk management.
Activity
Lending rose 8% in local currency quarter-on quarter, a higher growth rate than that of the second quarter, while deposits rose only 1% due to the wholesale segment.
The year-on-year growth in lending was 19%, backed by loans to individuals (+25%), particularly mortgages (+45%) and cards (+32%), but also in the segments of SMEs and companies (+25% combined). The smallest rise, as in previous quarters, was to large companies (+14%).

INFORMATION BY PRINCIPAL SEGMENTS
Savings rose 11% year-on-year, with a good performance in all products (time deposits: +4% and mutual funds: +24%).
The market share in lending was 10.4% (11.7% in unrestricted lending) and 8.0% in deposits.
Results
Gross income rose again in the quarter. It amounted to EUR 11,989 million, 11.8% higher year-to-year in local currency.
The main component of year-on-year growth was net interest income (+14.1%), spurred by the larger volumes and management of spreads.
The good trend in fee income, (+9.1%) backed by mutual funds and particularly by cards and insurance, which increased by more than 30%. The recurrence ratio was 63%.
Gains on financial transactions were EUR 691 million (+0.2% year-on-year) with those for the third quarter below the second, and only accounted for 6% of total revenues.
As regards the third quarter compared to the second, gross income was again more than EUR 4,000 million, a new quarterly record, due to the favourable evolution of net interest income (+2.6% in the quarter).
Of note in revenues growth in the last few quarters was its continuous upward trend, as net interest income increased for the sixth straight quarter and fee income did so in four of the last six quarters.
The year-on-year growth in total basic revenues (net interest income, fee income and fees from insurance activity) went from 5.9% in 2010 to 13.3% in the first nine months of 2011.
Operating expenses grew 10.7% year-on-year. This was due to the investment made to increase the distribution capacity with the opening of 167 branches in 12 months (+21 new branches in the quarter) and in the new IT platform, along with the pressure from inflation and the impact of the high employment rate on wage agreements.
Net operating income rose 12.5% to EUR 7,579 million and the efficiency ratio improved slightly to 36.8%.
Provisions for loan losses were 25.4% higher than in the first nine months of 2010, due to the increase of close to 20% in lending balances and a moderate rise in the NPLs of individual borrowers and SMEs. In the third quarter over the second, they declined 0.8%.
The NPL ratio was flat in the quarter, although it rose slightly in the last 12 months. It was 5.05% in September (4.97% a year earlier). Coverage increased to 100% from 98% in September 2010.
Net operating income after provisions increased 3.2% year-on-year, driven by the strength of the most basic revenues, which absorbed the investments in installed capacity and provisions. Profit before tax was 0.7% lower, due to the greater impact of other income and provisions for labour disputes.
Including the impact of the higher tax rate and larger minority interests from the partial placement of shares in the third quarter of 2010, attributable profit was 6.1% lower at EUR 1,973 million and ROE was 23.0%).
Retail Banking’s profit was 13.2% lower, while that of GBM rose 8.6% and Asset Management and Insurance remained virtually unchanged. Net operating income after provisions declined 0.7% in retail banking, and increased 10.1% in GBM and 16.2% in asset management and insurance.

MEXICO (ALL CHANGES IN LOCAL CURRENCY)
 
Basic revenues continued to accelerate: net interest income and fee income registered double digit growth between the third quarter of 2010 and the same period of 2011.
 
Costs rose 8.0% because of increased commercial capacity.
 
Good risk management produced an improvement in the risk premium and a 28.9% fall in loan-loss provisions.
 
Net operating income after provisions increased 12.4% and profit 24.8% before minority interests.
 
Strong rise in business: lending rose 24% year-on-year on a like-for-like basis and deposits 13%.
Attributable profit was 57.0% higher in the first nine months at EUR 731 million (+59.3% in local currency), partly benefiting from lower minority interests.
Results showed a good trend, with year-on-year growth in net interest income and fee income and lower provisions.
Santander is the third largest banking group in Mexico by business volume, with a market share in loans of 16.4% and 14.9% in savings. It has 1,099 branches and 9.2 million customers.
Economic environment
GDP growth was slower in the second quarter, with 4.0% growth year-on-year in the first half, and is forecast at 3.8% for the whole year, due to the impact of the weak US economy. Domestic demand is maintaining a good pace of growth, thanks to job creation, with rises of more than 4% year-on-year and an improvement in real wages. Inflation remains very moderate (3.1% in September), with equally moderate expectations (3.5% for the whole year).
Lending increased 15% year-on-year (consumer credit and card business: +18%), while savings rose 14%.

Under its plan, the strategy continued to focus on strengthening the franchise and customer relations through consumer credit, the sale of credit cards in branches and growth in deposits, for individual customers, all of which is boosting recurring revenues. In companies and institutions, the focus was on more transactions.
The main priorities are to take advantage of the economic performance, put the emphasis on customer linkage, deepen business in high income and SMEs segments and maintain prudent and efficient management of risks and costs.
Activity
Lending rose 32% year-on-year, with all products growing and partly spurred by the purchase of GE’s mortgage portfolio (+24% on a like-for-like basis). Mortgages doubled (+34% on a like-for-like basis) commercial credit grew 27%, consumer loans 28% and cards 10%.
Savings increased 10% year-on-year, with 13% growth both in demand and time deposits and more moderate in mutual funds (+4%).
Among anchor products, the number of insurance policies stood at 4.7 million (+15% year-on-year) and the number of payroll cheques paid into accounts reached 2.6 million.

Results
Gross income increased 2.5% year-on-year. Net interest income increased 4.4% and accelerated in the quarter (+8.1% over the second quarter), in line with the recovery in business.
Fee income grew 9.5%, with a positive performance in insurance and transactional banking.
Operating expenses were 8.0% higher than in the first nine months of 2010, reflecting the larger perimeter and installed capacity. Provisions confirmed the trend of previous quarters, falling 28.9%, in line with the improvement in risk premiums. Net operating income after provisions increased 12.4% year-on-year.
Attributable profit amounted to EUR 731 million. Retail Banking’s profit increased 89.3% thanks to the recovery in revenues and lower provisions. Asset Management and Insurance’s rose 72.2% and Global Wholesale Banking’s dropped 17.1%, due to reduced results from markets and the worsening global economic environment. Excluding the impact of the minority interests acquired in September 2010, the changes were +24.8% for the whole country and +48.7%, +37.5% and -35.8% for the three business segments, respectively.
The efficiency ratio was 39.8%, the recurrence ratio 71.5% and ROE 21.6%. The NPL ratio (1.78%) and coverage (176%) are affected by the incorporation of GE’s portfolio. Excluding this, the NPL ratio was 1.45% and coverage 217%, both of high quality and a good year-on-year evolution.

Provisions were 7.8% higher.
 
Net operating income after loan-loss provisions dropped 9.1%
 
Double-digit growth in banking business: +14% in loans and +23% in deposits.

Santander is the largest financial group in Chile in terms of assets and profits. It has 494 branches and 3.4 million customers and market shares of 21.0% in loans and 18.3% in savings.
Economic environment
The economy grew 6.8% in the second quarter, with private domestic demand (consumption and investment) growing at 10%. Employment increased 6.4% in the first half, reducing the jobless rate from 8.5% to 7.2% a year ago. Inflation remained moderate (3.3% y-o-y in September), with prospects of stability in the medium term, according to the central bank’s survey. In this context, the central bank has kept its interest rates stable since July, after raising them by 200 b.p. in the first seven months to 5.25%.
Lending rose 14% in the last 12 months (+18% in consumer credit and cards and +15% in commercial credit). Savings rose 14%.
Strategy
The strategy centred on maximising the profitability of various businesses, particularly loans to and savings from individuals and SMEs, with a special emphasis on deposits in order to bolster the liquidity position.
Means of payment continued to be dynamic. Purchases with Santander cards increased 29%. Commercial agreements with significant suppliers of services, such as airlines, telecom companies and supermarkets, continued to strengthen the relationship with customers in order to make them more satisfied and generate greater added value.
The improvement in service quality continued to be a priority in order to boost customer linkage and transactions.
The number of insurance policies, a risk-free product and one generating fee income, was 4.9 million, consumer loans rose 8% and cards increased by 213,000 units. Payrolls increased 13% and helped to enhance the quality of the customer base and future business prospects.
Activity
Lending rose 14% year-on-year, with a significant advance in cards (+29%), 12% in mortgages and 11% in consumer credit. The market share in loans increased by 42 b.p. in the last 12 months, from 20.6% to 21.0%.
Savings grew at a faster pace (+16%). Demand deposits rose 11% and time deposits 30%. Mutual funds declined 5%.

Results
In results (and always in local currency), gross income rose 0.6% year-on-year, with a differentiated performance of its components. Net interest income declined 1.0% affected by pressure on lending spreads, the higher cost from the effort made in capturing deposits, mainly time deposits, and the significant impact in the third quarter of the lower inflation.
Fee income, on the other hand, rose 6.0%, with a good performance in that from cash management (+14.7%), cards (+11.1%), insurance (+7.0%) and mutual funds (+3.9%).
Operating expenses rose 9.9% year-on-year, higher than inflation, due to the collective agreement, the increase in the rent for branches following their transfer in the second half of 2010 and strengthening business activity.
Net loan-loss provisions rose 7.8% year-on-year, compared to the 14% rise in lending. In the third quarter there was a higher increase.
Attributable profit was 3.4% lower at EUR 466 million (-5.6% in local currency). Retail Banking’s profit dropped 12.8%, Asset Management and Insurance’s rose 22.1% and Global Wholesale Banking’s 12.4%.
The efficiency ratio was 38.9%, the recurrence ratio 59.8% and ROE 24.8%. The NPL ratio was 3.63% and coverage 88%.

Argentina
Attributable profit was EUR 205 million, 4.2% lower year-on-year (+7.9% in local currency).
Santander Río is one of the country’s leading banks, with market shares of 9.3% in lending and 10.3% in savings. It has 351 branches and 2.4 million customers.
The economy continues to grow briskly (+8.9% y-o-y in the first half). Growth for the whole year is put at around 7%. Inflation was 9.9% in September and interest rates reached close to 13% in September. Exports grew an average 24% year-on-year to July which, although below the 42% rise in imports, still left a trade surplus of $6,500 million. The surplus is forecast at 1.8% of GDP by the end of the year.
Growth in the financial system’s savings and lending was 35% and 51%, respectively, maintaining high levels of liquidity and a capitalisation ratio of 16% in July. The NPL ratio was 1.8% and coverage 126%, underscoring the system’s enhanced quality.
The Group is focusing on continuing to maximise the profitability of the franchise through the following drivers: increase the number of customers by opening branches in attractive markets, customer linkage via transactions, higher spreads on loans, selective growth in low risk assets, maintaining comfortable levels of liquidity, deepening in high value segments (high income and SMEs) and special attention to risk.
Lending and savings increased at a faster pace in September (+34% and +38% year-on-year, respectively).
Gross income rose 25.3% year-on-year in local currency (+23.4% in net interest income and +33.7% in fee income). Operating expenses rose 32.6%, due to inflation and growth in installed capacity (net opening of 34 branches in the last 12 months). In addition, the number of employees increased from 6,388 to 6,788.
Net operating income increased 19.0% and attributable profit 7.9%. The efficiency ratio was 48.8% and the recurrence ratio 89%. The NPL ratio was 1.08% and coverage 210%.
Uruguay
Attributable profit was EUR 13 million, 76.4% lower (-75.9% in local currency), due to the 54.3% fall in gains on financial transactions (significant capital gains in 2010 in the portfolio of securities). Basic revenues rose 16.4%, while operating expenses were 35.1% higher because of the collective bargaining agreement and the cost of installing the new IT platform.
Santander is the largest private sector bank in the country in terms of number of branches (78) and business (market share of 17.7% in lending and 16.2% in deposits).
The economy grew 0.5% in the second quarter and 4.8% year-on-year, spurred by domestic demand (+12%). Inflation remained high at 7.8% y-o-y at September. In local currency, the financial system’s lending rose at a faster pace, +27%, while deposits increased 13%.
Fitch upgraded in July Uruguay’s sovereign debt in foreign currency by one notch to BB+, one level below the minimum investment grade (BBB-).
The Group is focusing on driving retail business, with strong growth in linked medium and high income customers, boosting business with companies, with an emphasis on transactional linkage, and maximising the return on surplus liquidity.
Lending rose 40% with the incorporation of Creditel and 33% on a like-for-like basis. Savings rose 6% in the last 12 months.
The efficiency ratio is 76.7%, the recurrence ratio 29.1%, the NPL ratio is only 0.65% and coverage is very high.
Colombia

The Group has 79 branches and market shares of 2.7% in lending and in savings.
The economy is forecast to grow 5% this year, inflation will remain low (3.7% in September) and the trade surplus was $2,140 million in the first half.
The financial system’s growth in lending and deposits picked up (+27% and +20%, respectively).
The strategy is focused on selective growth in business, preserving appropriate levels of customer linkage of high and medium income customers and boosting transaction and insurance business. Management of NPLs is based on anticipation and knowledge of the customer.
Lending increased 18% and savings 20%. The efficiency ratio is 57.6% and the recurrence ratio 44.9%. The NPL ratio is 1.14% and coverage 261%.
Puerto Rico
Attributable profit was EUR 26 million (+6.3% y-o-y in dollars), because of higher taxes as net operating income after provisions increased 52.7% thanks to lower provisions.
Santander has 122 branches and market shares of 9.8% in loans, 11.2% in deposits and 21.7% in mutual funds.
The economy remained in recession, affecting the growth of the financial system and its profitability. In this context, the Group stood out for its positive return, fruit of appropriate management of prices, discipline in risks and strict control of costs.
The efficiency ratio is 48.8%, the recurrence ratio 39.6%, the NPL ratio 10.6% and coverage 55%.
Peru
Activity is focused on companies and tending to the Group’s global customers. Attributable profit was EUR 8 million (+50.9% in local currency).

SOVEREIGN
 
Higher gross income (+8.5%) and lower provisions (-39.1%).
 
Net operating income after provisions up 58.5%.
 
Improved trend in loans (+5%) and deposits (+15%).
 
Credit quality: improved non-performing loans and coverage for the seventh quarter running.
Sovereign posted an attributable profit of $195 million in the third quarter, bringing the profit for the first nine months to $554 million, 44.4% more than in the same period of 2010.
Economic environment
Sovereign conducted its activity in an environment of slower GDP growth than in 2010, with a weak housing sector, a jobless rate close to historic highs and interest rates at minimums.
Lending by banks increased in the second quarter (+0.9%) for the first time since June 2008, although it is too early yet to speak of a change of trend. Growth was due to the increase in commercial loans (+1.8%) as consumer credit remained flat. Deposits continued to flow toward those of the greatest availability (+4.6% over the fourth quarter) from time deposits (-3.4% vs. the fourth quarter).
Strategy
Sovereign, with 723 branches, 2,286 ATMs and more than 1.7 million customers, is developing a business model focused on retail customers and companies. It operates in the northeast of the US, one of the country’s most prosperous areas, where it has significant market shares.
The focus on growth, rigorous risk management and the optimisation of cost structures, within the restructuring process, are enabling Sovereign to generate consistent results in line with the goals set for 2011, despite an environment of low activity.
Activity
Balance sheet management remained characterised by an increase in profitability and a better mix of lending and funding products, enabling spreads to improve on new and renewed operations over those of 2010.
In lending, the portfolio continued to be repositioned, with a gradual exit from higher risk segments into more attractive ones.
Although it continued to deepen business in residential segments, the asset mix benefited from growth in loans to companies and GBM. Sovereign continued to prepare its commercial and regulatory structure in order to take advantage of the incipient recovery in these segments.
Total lending grew 5% year-on-year and 8% excluding the non-strategic portfolio. The improvement in the composition of the portfolio combined with risk management produced a further fall in the NPL ratio to 3.22% and a rise in coverage to 93%. Both improved for the seventh quarter running.
The increase in lending was financed by the rise in customer deposits (+15% y-o-y), which enabled the diversification and stability of the financing sources to be improved. This, coupled with the reduction in the volume of wholesale financing, reduced the cost of deposits by 6 b.p.
The focus on expanding the customer base is beginning to bear fruit. The number of current accounts has risen continuously this year, breaking the negative trend of 2010. August set a new monthly record in the opening of accounts.
Results
Gross income was $2,261 million (+8.5% y-o-y). Net interest income (+2.4%) continued to grow thanks to management of volumes and prices which offset the sharp fall in interest rates. The negative impact on fee income (-0.8%), as a result of the new regulatory framework in the US, was offset by a greater commercial effort. The capital gains generated in the ALCO portfolio also contributed to growth.
The 8.1% growth in operating costs reflects the impact of investments in technology and the increase in commercial structures begun in the second half of 2010. The efficiency ratio was 43.7% and net operating income increased 8.8% year-on-year.
Net loan-loss provisions were 39.1% lower, thanks to containment of NPLs and the recovery capacity during the credit cycle. This is reflected in a better than expected evolution in credit quality.
Net operating income after provisions was 58.5% higher at $910 million and profit before tax was $809 million.
In short, the results show a solid income statement backed by the generation of recurring revenues, a reduction in the cost of deposits and an improvement in the levels of provisions thanks to proactive credit risk management. All of this was the result of the improvement in the balance sheet structure, which together with the recovery in volumes of basic loans and control of spending provides a solid base for the fourth quarter.

The main reasons for this growth were the better performance of Sovereign and the consumer finance unit.

CORPORATE ACTIVITIES
 
This area’s losses were EUR 89 million less than in the first nine months of 2010.
 
Net interest income registered a larger loss (higher cost of wholesale funding) and lower recovery of taxes.
 
Gains on financial transactions (mainly from hedging of exchange rates) are positive versus negative ones in 2010. Also, reduced provisions.
The area made a loss of EUR 1,817 million in the first nine months compared to a loss of EUR 1,906 million in the same period of 2010. This was due to the net effect of the main items: net interest income, gains on financial transactions, provisions and other income, and taxes.
Corporate Activities covers a series of centralised activities, on the basis of the criteria set out on page 24 of this report.
The financial management area carries out global balance sheet management functions, both for structural interest rate risk and liquidity risk (the latter through issues and securitisations), as well as the structural position of exchange rates.
 
Interest rate risk is actively managed by taking positions in the market. This management seeks to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and the Bank’s value, and is carried out via bonds and derivatives of high credit quality, high liquidity and low consumption of capital.
 
The aim of structural liquidity management is to finance the Group’s recurrent activity in optimum maturity and cost conditions, while maintaining an appropriate profile by diversifying sources.
 
The exposure to exchange rate movements is also managed on a centralised basis. This management (dynamic) is carried out through financial derivatives for exchange rates, optimising at all times the cost of hedging.
   
In this sense, hedging of net investments in the shareholders’ equity of businesses abroad aims to neutralise the impact on them of converting to euros the balances of the main consolidated entities whose functional currency is not the euro. The Group’s policy considers it necessary to immunise the impact which, in situations of high volatility in the markets, sharp movements in exchange rates would have on these exposures of a permanent nature. The currently hedged investments are those in Brazil, the UK, Mexico, Chile and Poland, and the instruments used are spot contracts, FX forwards or tunnel options.
   
Meanwhile, exposures of a temporary nature (i.e. those regarding the results which the Group’s units will contribute over the next 12 months), when they are in currencies other than the euro, are also hedged on a centralised basis. These results, generated in the local currencies of the units, are hedged with exchange-rate derivatives. The objective is to establish the euros resulting from the exchange rate at the beginning of the year.
   
The impact of the hedging is registered in gains/losses on financial transactions and the hedging of results compensates, with an opposite sign, the greater or lesser value in euros from the contribution of businesses.
Separately from the financial management activities described here, the corporate activities area acts as the Group’s holding. It manages all capital and reserves and allocations of capital to each of the units as well as providing liquidity that some of the business units might need (mainly the Santander Branch Network and corporate in Spain). The price at which these operations are carried out is the market rate (euribor or swap) plus the premium, which, in terms of liquidity, the Group supports due to the immobilisation of funds during the period of the operation.
Lastly, and more marginally, the equity stakes that the Group takes within its policy of optimising investments are reflected in Corporate Activities. Since 2009 this item has declined significantly.
The main developments were:
 
Net interest income was EUR 1,678 million negative compared to EUR 1,369 million also negative in the first nine months of 2010. This was largely due to the higher cost of credit of issues in wholesale markets.
   
This increased cost was also reflected in the financing of the goodwill of the Group’s investments, which by definition is negative, but also raised the cost of their financing proportionately.
   
The third quarter figure was -EUR 553 million, almost the same as in the second quarter (-EUR 613 million).
 
Gains on financial transactions, which include those from centralised management of interest rate and currency risk of the parent bank as well as from equities, were EUR 370 million positive in the first nine months due to the positive impact of exchange-rate hedging compared to a loss of EUR 226 million in the same period of 2010 (negative impact of hedging of exchange rates).
 
Operating expenses rose 4.1% because of the higher general costs, as amortisations were 10.9% lower.
 
Net loan-loss provisions reflect a release of EUR 40 million compared to provisions of EUR 87 million in the first nine months of 2010. This line records the normal provisions for the fixed-income portfolio (not public debt) which were part of the ALCO strategies, and which at the time of purchases and sales produced small movements in these provisions. Also recorded are those asymmetries produced in the process of internal consolidation between the various business areas included in the parent bank which gave rise to a release of generic provisions in 2011.
 
“Other income” was EUR 351 million negative compared to EUR 432 million also negative in 2010 and is mainly due to writedowns for foreclosures (properties and land) and revenue from the recovery of losses that were provisioned, as well as the sale of a small stake.
 
Lastly, the tax line reflects a smaller recovery than in 2010.

RETAIL BANKING
 
Net interest income (+5.1%) and fee income (+12.6%) led to a new quarterly record in basic revenues.
 
 
Higher expenses (+9.2%) because of new projects and an increase in the installed capacity.
 
 
Risk management reflected in lower specific provisions, offset by lower release of generic provisions.
 
 
Net operating income after provisions was 8.0% higher year-on-year.
 
 
Profit reflects the impact of the one-off in the second quarter for customer remediation in the UK.
Attributable profit was EUR 5,330 million, affected by the provision net of tax of EUR 620 million for customer remediation in the UK in the second quarter.
Results were slightly impacted by the perimeter effect (mainly from the incorporation of Bank Zachodni WBK). The positive impact was around three percentage points on revenues and costs. The evolution of exchange rates during the period had a slight negative impact (-1 p.p.).
Gross income amounted to EUR 29,924 million (+6.0% y-o-y), due to the 5.1% rise in net interest income, the main component, and strongly backed by fee income.
Operating expenses rose 9.2% year-on-year (+5.8% without the perimeter and exchange rate effects). As a result, the efficiency ratio was 42.0% and net operating income was 3.8% higher at EUR 17,341 million.
Net loan-loss provisions were 1.0% lower than in the first nine months of 2010. This reflected the efforts made in previous years to improve risk management in the Group’s units and led to lower specific provisions. This, together with the one-off impact of the provision made in 2010 in Spain because of the change in regulation, offset the lower release of generic provisions. Net operating income after provisions increased 8.0% year-on-year.
Total lending and customer deposits rose slightly in the last twelve months.
As well as reflecting the recovery trend in commercial revenues and the positive impact of new incorporations to the Group, Retail Banking in Continental Europe benefited from the evolution of provisions made in 2010. Attributable profit was 4.4% higher.
Attributable profit in the UK was 54.4% lower than in the first nine months of 2010 in sterling, impacted by the provision for PPI. Excluding this impact, attributable profit was 3.6% lower, as it was hit by the negative impact of regulatory changes, which were almost offset by flat costs and lower needs for provisions.

Retail banking revenues in Latin America continued to grow and also costs, compatible with business development. Net operating income was 8.9% higher, excluding the exchange rate impact.
Attributable profit, after provisions, other impairment losses and a higher tax charge, increased 2.4% over the same period of 2010.
Global Private Banking includes institutions that specialise in financial advice and asset management for high-income clients (Banco Banif in Spain, Santander Private Banking in the UK, Latin America and Italy), as well as the units of domestic private banking in Portugal and Latin America, jointly managed with local retail banks.
The division continued to install and adapt its common business model, commercial processes of advice, differentiated management of customers, personnel training, standardisation of investment strategies and discretional management and unification of products.
IT platforms for management of clients continued to be adapted so that it will be the same for all units. This platform is currently operating in Spain, Italy and Mexico, and is being installed in Brazil.
All the stock markets in which we operate fell in the first nine months. Despite this, however, the total volume of managed assets performed positively, the fruit of commercial efforts. Of note was the capturing of new business by the Latin American units, especially Brazil. Business grew in Italy because of the commercial activity as well as the acquisition of Banca Privada MeliorBanca. The volume of managed customer funds at the end of September amounted to EUR 100,000 million, 2% more than in December 2010.
(CHART)
Profit before tax was 11.2% higher year-on-year at EUR 292 million, confirming the change of trend seen in the second quarter.
This was largely due to the rise in net interest income, controlled costs and reduced needs for provisions. Attributable profit was EUR 227 million, 6.9% higher, impacted by greater tax pressure.
The best performance over the third quarter of 2010 came from Banif and Latin America, both domestic private banks as well as International Private Banking. Of note in Europe was the growth in volumes and the better product mix (discretionary management portfolios) and value-added products, as well lower net interest income due to the higher cost of funds.

GLOBAL WHOLESALE BANKING
 
Earnings backed by client revenues (87% of total gross income).
 
 
Business affected in the third quarter by weakness and tensions in markets, particularly in Europe.
 
 
Impact on costs of investments which are still in the first phases of maturity.
 
 
Attributable profit was 20.9% lower year-on-year.
 
 
Rigorous management of risk, liquidity and capital.
Santander Global Banking & Markets posted an attributable profit of EUR 1,462 million in the first nine months, 20.9% lower than in the same period of 2010. The third quarter saw even weaker markets than in the spring, due to sovereign debt tensions in Europe, and their impact on revenues, particularly non-client ones, caused profit to fall.
This area contributed 11% of gross income and 19% of operating areas’ total attributable profit.
Strategy
Santander Global Banking & Markets continued to maintain the main drivers of its business model: client-centred, integral focus of business (global reach and interconnection with local units), rigorous management of risk and profitable use of capital and liquidity.
In order to strengthen the positions reached in core markets and businesses and continue the growth path of the previous years, the area launched in 2010 a series of projects to bolster the operational capacities and distribution of basic treasury products, with a special focus on forex and fixed income businesses. These projects continued to be developed, through investment in resources and additional capacities.
This investment effort is already showing its first fruits in initiatives such as the distribution of fixed income products in the corporate and mid-corp segments in Europe, although progress slowed in the last two quarters, because of the market situation. The generation of additional revenues and strict management of a recurrent cost base that has been streamlined are enabling the area to absorb these investments and register an efficiency ratio of 33.8% that remains a reference for Santander’s peers.
Results and activity
Gains on financial transactions were lower, and costs and provisions higher and thus attributable profit was 20.9% lower year-on-year.
Gross income fell 6.7%, very much impacted by the lower gains on financial transactions of the last two quarters, the lowest of the last three years. Basic revenues increased 3.0% year-on-year, driven by net interest income (+6.1%), which reflected the adjustment of spreads to the new environment. Fee income dropped 2.4%, following the brake on those generated by market-related activities.
Operating expenses (+11.4% y-o-y) reflected the investment in equipment and technology. Net operating income was 13.9% lower at EUR 2,405 million. Provisions were higher, partly because of the lower release of generic provisions. As a result, attributable profit fell 20.9%.
(CHART)
The results were underscored by strong and diversified client revenues (87% of total gross income and notably stable, although somewhat changed in the third quarter). Client revenues in the first nine months were 5.1% lower than in the same period of 2010, when they were particularly high because of certain operations and the positive impact on the books of high volatility in some markets.
Stable generation of clients’ revenues in Latin America, despite the greater pressures of disintermediation, and strong rise from a low base at Sovereign, which is progressing toward reaching its natural share of corporate business. Greater weakness in Europe, particularly Spain (-14%) and the UK (-15%), hit by tensions and falls in markets in the last quarters.
The revenues generated by clients in the Global Relation Model, which give the area great stability, were stronger. They were 0.1% lower and already account for more than two-thirds of total client revenues.
The performance of the business areas and their contribution to revenue generation was as follows:
Global Transaction Banking
This area, which includes cash management, trade finance, basic financing and custody, increased its client revenues 4% year-on-year.
Of note were cash management revenues, which grew 17%, with double-digit rises in all countries. The larger contributions from were Brazil, Chile and Mexico.
Custody and settlement registered solid growth (+7%), backed by Latin America and Spain’s positive contribution.
Growth in basic financing (+5%) was more moderate in a context of greater disintermediation, containment of risk-weigthed assets and management of spreads.
Trade finance dropped 8% after the high levels reached in 2010 in Latin America, particularly in Brazil. Europe’s good results did not offset the decline in the large Latin American countries.
Corporate Finance
This area (mergers and acquisitions) increased its client revenues 23% year-on-year from a small base, spurred by the growing contribution of business in Spain and Brazil.

INFORMATION BY SECONDARY SEGMENTS
Notable operations in the third quarter included the acquisition by Schneider Electric of the 40% of Telvent owned by Abengoa, for $2,000 million. Santander was the buyer’s financial adviser.
Credit Markets
Credit Markets, which include origination and distribution of corporate loans or structured finance, bond origination and securitisation teams and asset and capital structuring, repeated its client revenues. The growth in the US and Latin America was offset by declines in the UK after the exceptional operations in 2010.
In loans, Santander maintained its reference position in Europe and Latin America. Of note was the participation in the $12,500 million loan for Sab Miller to finance the takeover of the Australian beer company Fosters. Santander was the bookrunner and mandated lead arranger. Of note in Latin America was the loan for Grupo Suramericana to acquire ING’s assets in the region.
The volume of bond issues was affected by the market situation, particularly in Europe. The evolution was better in Latin America, where Santander played a notable role in placing sovereign bonds of Brazil and for Pemex, backed by our extensive geographic presence and our experience and capacity to attract issuers to the Latin American cross-border market.
Also noteworthy was the second Project Bond of a Brazilian company, and the second loan structured by Santander ($700 million at 7 years) for Queiroz Galvao which repaid the two project finance loans used to build oil drilling ships and their subsequent leasing to Petrobras.
Asset and capital structuring continued to increase its portfolio of clients in Europe, Latin America and the US, which produced strong growth in revenues and a positive contribution from all countries.
Rates
This area, which restructured its businesses into three activities (fixed income sales, fixed income flow and FX) reflects in client revenues (-4% at September) the weakness of the sovereign debt markets and the impact on management of books, which could not be offset by a better evolution of sales.
Fixed income sales (distribution of non-liquid interest rate and credit derivatives to institutional investors, large corporations and the retail segment via the Group’s networks), continued to grow in Europe and Latin America, particularly Brazil, because of greater customer activity following the sharp fall in the yield curve. Of note was the faster pace of growth to institutional investors in Europe and the UK, along with the good evolution of corporates and mid-corp.
Revenues from fixed income flow activity (distribution of corporate and government bonds and liquid interest rate, credit and inflation derivatives) was sharply down due to the impact on the markets of the European Union’s sovereign debt crisis.
Lastly, FX (trading activities and hedging of exchange rates and short-term money markets for the Group’s wholesale and retail clients) maintained sustained growth, firmly backed by the UK and Latin America, particularly Brazil. Better performance of sales globally and good performance of the books in Latin America in an environment of high volatility.
Equities
Growth in revenues from global equities (activities related to the equity markets) slowed down in the third quarter to 37% year-on-year, partly due to the large revenues from significant operations in 2010, which were not offset by transactions this year.
The lower volumes and high levels of volatility in the markets in the last few months reduced the sale of investment and hedging solutions, as well as the contribution to the income statement from management of books.
The volatility and uncertainty over the economic recovery delayed some primary operations, although some key operations in Latin America and Europe remained in the pipeline and are expected to materialise in the fourth quarter.
Lastly, there was a noteworthy increase in Santander’s activity in exchange traded derivatives as access provider to main markets worldwide, boosting revenues.

Attributable profit was 5.9% lower in the first nine months at EUR 328 million (4% of the operating areas’ total).
Strategy
Santander Asset Management advanced in its development of a global business model based on the Group’s management capacities and the market knowledge of local fund managers. The push given to the multimanager team to manage funds of funds, as well as the creation of global teams to manage Latin American and European mandates, underlined the progress.
Santander Insurance also continued to build its global business model by launching units and businesses to respond to the needs of local networks and customers, while preserving a low risk profile model and one very efficient in its operations.
In Latin America, Santander signed a global agreement in July with the insurer Zurich to bolster business in the region. Under it, Zurich acquires 51% of the holding company which will group Santander’s insurers in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Uruguay, as well as a product distribution agreement in these countries.
At the close of this report, 51% of the holding was sold to Zurich and incorporated to it the companies in Brazil and Argentina, after obtaining authorisations from local supervisors and the European Union. Authorisations from the supervisors of insurance companies in Mexico, Chile and Uruguay were pending and are expected to be given during the fourth quarter.
Results
Gross income increased 9.4% year-on-year, spurred by revenues from insurance and the moderate rise in fee income from mutual funds. Costs continued to reflect investments in strategic projects but their growth eased (+8.0%). Net operating income increased 10.0% to EUR 608 million year-on-year, but as other income was negative and the tax charge was higher attributable profit was lower.
The area’s total revenues contributed to the Group including those recorded by the distribution networks amounted to EUR 3,403 million in the first nine months, 14.8% more than in the same period of 2010 and 10% of the operating areas’ total revenues. The total contribution (profit before tax plus fees paid to the networks) was EUR 3,093 million (+14.5%).
Asset management
The global area of Santander Asset Management posted an attributable profit of EUR 30 million and the total contribution (profit before tax and fees paid to the networks) was EUR 794 million, 4,2% less than in the first nine months of 2010. The decline was due to flat total revenues (EUR 958 million) and higher costs due to investments.
(CHART)
Stable revenues were due to an increase in the average commissions in the main markets from the better product mix and a faster decline in managed volumes in the third quarter. Total mutual and pension funds under management amounted to EUR 114,000 million, 8% less than in June 2011 (-4% since September 2010), affected by the loss of value of markets and the recent depreciation of Latin American currencies.
Volumes varied. They were weaker in developed countries because of the strong preference for deposits and liquidity, along with the markets’ impact on valuations. On the other hand, balances in Latin America were higher in local currencies, continuing the trend begun in 2009. The main developments by units and countries were as follows:
 
In traditional management of assets, there was a continued good performance of mutual fund business, despite the high uncertainty and volatility in the markets in the last quarter.
 
   
In this segment, the Group manages EUR 111,000 million (2% less than in September 2010) in funds, investment companies and pension plans, of which close to 90% comes from four large markets (Brazil, the UK, Spain and Mexico).
 
   
Brazil, the main market by volume, stepped up its growth in assets under management (+24% y-o-y in reales to EUR 41,000 million). Net sales and fees improved, partly because of the good reception given to new guaranteed products aimed at the retail segment.

INFORMATION BY SECONDARY SEGMENTS
   
The UK’s retail balances at the end of September amounted to EUR 14,700 million (+8% y-o-y in sterling), strongly backed by growth in the multimanager funds of funds. The multimanager team in the UK received the award for Best Manager of the Year by Investment Week in the category of funds of funds and also registered the largest net capturing of the year for this type of product, according to Fundscape Pridham Report.
 
   
In Spain, large net redemptions continued throughout the sector, reflecting the preference of banks for liquidity and with attractive offers for savers. In this environment, Santander Asset Management focused on mixed and guaranteed funds. Of note were the EUR 860 million captured by the range of Select funds and the capturing of the first institutional mandate of corporate fixed income outside Spain (in Germany).
 
   
All of this helped to consolidate the Group as the market leader (16.8% market share, according to Inverco, and maintain assets under traditional management in Spain, including pension plans, at EUR 35,000 million (-19% y-o-y).
 
   
Mexico benefited from the launch of new mixed and guaranteed funds and increased its volume 4% year-on-year to EUR 9,500 million and improved the mix of products.
 
   
In the rest of markets, Chile’s volume dropped 5% year-on-year in pesos because of the push into deposits. In Portugal, the shift into deposits and the impact of markets accelerated the fall in mutual and pension funds (-35% year-on-year).
 
 
In non-traditional management (real estate, alternative management and private equity funds), Santander Asset Management continued to adjust its activity to the scant demand for these products.
 
   
In the first quarter, Grupo Santander decided, for solely commercial reasons, to provide funds to Santander Banif Inmobiliario, by subscribing new units and granting a two-year liquidity guarantee in order to meet any outstanding redemption claims. This measure ended the suspension of redemptions and returned the fund to normal.
 
   
Greater stability in alternative funds after the restructuring in previous years, and in the private equity segment, which is aimed at institutional clients who invest long term in unlisted companies.
Insurance
The global area of Santander Insurance posted an attributable profit in the first nine months of EUR 298 million, 4.8% more than in the same period of 2010. Higher revenues from the basic activities offset the rise in costs from greater investments.
Insurance business generated for the Group total revenues (including fee income paid to the commercial networks) of EUR 2,445 million (+21.9% y-o-y). The total contribution to profits (income before taxes of insurers and brokers plus fee income received by the networks) increased 22.8% to EUR 2,298 million.
The total volume of premium income increased 22% year-on-year due to the good evolution of protection insurance premiums (+19%) as well as the recovery in the distribution of savings insurance whose premium income rose 25% after falling in 2010.
Continental Europe‘s contribution increased 8% year-on-year, backed by the solid performance of Santander Consumer Finance and the recovery in Spain. Excluding consumer business, Spain increased its contribution by 10% due basically to the relaunch of savings-investment products and the competitiveness of protection products. Portugal’s contribution continued to decline (-23% y-o-y) because of the greater pressure from deposits, while the contribution of Poland (BZ WBK) is still small.
Santander Consumer Finance maintained its strong pace of selling, adjusted to each market, which enabled it to increase its total contribution by 12% year-on-year. The acceleration of the German market and the contribution of new entities offset the decline in some peripheral markets.
The UK’s total contribution rose 4% in sterling. The evolution in the third quarter was better against other products competing for savings.
Latin America increased its contribution 39% year-on-year, excluding the exchange rate impact. This clearly reflected the region’s high potential. The greater efficiency in selling via banking networks and other channels, together with the development of simple products independent of loans, pushed up the region’s activity and results.
Of note was Brazil, which contributed more than two-thirds of the region’s total (+43% y-o-y in reales). Mexico and Chile also grew strongly in local currency (+53% and +17%, respectively).
Sovereign, still installing its insurance model, continued to increase its total contribution (+18% in dollars y-o-y).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Santander was ranked first among the category of banks and savings banks in the XIII ranking of the information transparency of annual reports and economic and financial information, drawn up by the economic weekly El Nuevo Lunes. Its score was 7.3 out of 10.
For the third time in the last five years, the Bank stood out as the financial institution that provides the best information, according to the analysts interviewed.
The Bank’s results in the analysis conducted every year in order to select the companies forming the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), one of the main international indices of socially responsible investment, were announced in September. The index’s composition is tracked by a large number of institutional investors in Europe and the US.
Once again, and since 2000, the Bank remained in this competitive index, comprising a small number of companies. The DJSI assesses companies in three large spheres: economic, environmental and social, combining general and specific criteria of the sector in which they operate.
Santander achieved a total score of 79% and occupied leading positions in anti-crime policy/measures; codes of conduct/compliance/corruption and bribery and corporate governance, with scores of 98%, 82% and 72%, respectively, which compare very well with the sector’s averages (70%, 67% and 69%, respectively).
The score of 79% was higher than in 2010 (78%) and is well above that of the average for banks of 53%.

Under it, Zurich acquires 51% of the holding company which will group Santander’s insurers in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Uruguay, as well as a product distribution agreement in these countries.
At the close of this report, 51% of the holding was sold to Zurich and incorporated to it the companies in Brazil and Argentina, after obtaining authorisations from local supervisors and the European Union. Authorisations from the supervisors of insurance companies in Mexico, Chile and Uruguay were pending and are expected to be given during the fourth quarter.
The capital gains obtained from this transaction (around EUR 750 million net of tax) will be used to strengthned the Bank’s balance sheet.
Santander incorporates new partners in Santander Consumer USA
Santander Consumer USA will increase its capital by approximately $1.15 billion in order to enable new partners to enter. Of this amount, $1 billion will be disbursed by Sponsor Auto Finance Holdings Series, an entity held by funds controlled by Warburg Pincus, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Centerbridge Partners, and Dundon DFS, approximately, $150 million.
The transaction values the company at $4 billion. Following this transaction, Santander will realize a capital gain of approximately $1 billion, which will be fully allocated to reinforce the Group’s balance sheet.
Following the capital increase, Grupo Santander will have a 65% stake in Santander Consumer USA; Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Warburg Pincus and Centerbridge Partners (through Sponsor Auto Finance Holdings Series) 25%; and Dundon DFS 10%.

Strategy
A meeting with analysts and investors was held in London on September 29 and 30 at which Grupo Santander’s current situation and outlook were examined. The documentation provided is available at www.santander.com.
Dividends
The general shareholders’ meeting in June 2011 gave its approval, following the wide acceptance in 2010 and 2009 of the Santander Dividendo Elección programme (scrip dividend), to continuing this option in November 2011 for the second interim dividend payment in cash or new shares. Furthermore, depending on the level of demand and market conditions, this option could also be offered for the third interim dividend at the usual payment date in February 2012.
On August 1, the first interim dividend charged to 2011’s earnings of EUR 0.135 gross per share was paid, the same amount as for this dividend in 2010.
In accordance with the scrip dividend programme, shareholders can choose to receive the amount equivalent to the second interim dividend in cash or in shares. Every shareholder has a free allotment right of new shares for each share owned. Shareholders can sell the rights to the Bank between October 17 and 31 at a set price (EUR 0.126 gross per right), on the stock market between October 17 and 31 at the market price, or receive new shares in the proportion of one new share for every 49 rights, and in the last two cases without withholding tax*.
In order to meet this, there will be a rights issue for a maximum of EUR 86,137,739, represented by 172,275,478 shares. The number of new shares to be issued, and thus the amount of the capital increase, will depend on the number of shareholders who opt to sell their free allotment rights to the Bank at a set price.
Shareholders are due to receive on November 3 the amount in cash if they opted to sell their rights to the Bank, and on November 9 the new shares those who chose this option.
Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A. resignes to its position as director
The board of directors of Banco Santander, S.A. resolved on its meeting held on 24 October, to leave record of the resignation of Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A. from its position as director of the Bank, which is effective from that date.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Grupo Santander continued in the third quarter to develop new initiatives within its commitment to corporate social responsibility. The main ones were:
Presence in sustainability indices
As described in the section on corporate governance, Santander remained among the best in the DJSI index (both in the World Index as well as the Stoxx, after obtaining excellent scores in the three spheres analysed: economic, social and environmental.
Santander Universities
Banco Santander’s alliance with universities, the main focus of its corporate social responsibility policy, continued to develop new initiatives such as signing a new cooperation agreement with the University of Birmingham to grant scholarships for travel and research. The agreement also includes academic prizes and fostering entrepreneurial projects. The number of British universities supported by Banco Santander amount to 50.
Emilio Botín presided over the ceremony awarding the Santander Universities Business Initiative Prizes in the UK, at which he announced the Bank would grant 10,000 scholarships and aid over the next four years.
Banco Santander sponsored the seventh edition of the summer courses of the Madrid Polytechnic University at the Real Sitio de San Ildefonso-La Granja. This meeting brought together more than 1,000 students and close to 300 speakers. Researchers and experts reflected on the challenges raised by new scientific advances.
Social and cultural actions
In social actions, Banco Santander assigned in September EUR 500,000 to the projects launched by Cáritas España and the Red Cross to combat drought and famine in the Horn of Africa. Santander also launched a campaign to capture funds which saw customers and employees depositing EUR 300,000 in the accounts of various NGOs supporting the same causes.
Banco Santander, the main sponsor of the Copa América football championship, presented in Buenos Aires the “Goles Solidarios Santander” initiative under the slogan, “Tu pasión, nuestro compromiso.” Santander donated $1,000 for each goal scored. A total of EUR 100,000 was raised for UNICEF projects in support of children’s education in the region.
Banco Santander signed a cooperation agreement with the NGO platform of Acción Social in Spain under which it will help to finance 28 organisations launched by young entrepreneurs. The agreement covers financial services in preferential conditions for the Platform and its NGOs, among them, the handling via Banco Santander of ICO credit lines also for private institutions.
The environment
Banco Santander was included in the ranking of Interbrand’s Best Global Green Brands which measure the 50 best companies in the World on the basis of their environmental performance. Two of the most recognised projects in this ranking were Santander’s $149 million financing of a renewable energy project in Mexico and the Papa-Pilhas programme in Brazil under which branches collected 172 tonnes of batteries in 2010.

Banco Santander Foundation
The Foundation continued to support projects closely related to the arts, scientific research and education.
It cooperated with the summer courses of the International Menéndez Pelayo University in the cycle of conferences “Authors and their work”, at which artists, authors, philosophers, architects and filmmakers were spoke.
The Foundation and the International Oncology Research Centre (CNIO) signed a cooperation agreement to develop a postdoctoral programme for British scientists.

Recognitions
Banco Santander Spain was recognised as a gender equality company because of its striving for gender diversity and policies promoting equality of treatment and opportunity.
