Banco Santander México

Banco Santander México Reports Fourth Quarter 2022 Net Income of Ps.6,277 Million

Strong YoY total loan portfolio growth, highlighting a solid increase in individual loans, mainly due to double-digit growth in credit cards, payroll and auto loans. While loan volumes in the commercial portfolio were driven by increases of middle-market companies and financial entities.

Total deposits showed a pick-up of 6.9% YoY, driven by term deposits on the back of a higher interest rate environment, while demand deposits reflected the Bank’s profitability focus. Meanwhile, contribution of individuals in total deposits represented 41.4%, compared with 24.2% in 2016.

Net income increased 19.7% YoY in 4Q22, mainly due to the solid increase in NII and fees, along with lower expenses resulting from disciplined cost control.

II. CEO Message

Earnings Release | 4Q.2022

Banco Santander México

Felipe García, Banco Santander México Executive President and CEO, commented: “I am very pleased to share with you that we reported net income growth of 46% YoY and 24% higher than the pre-pandemic level in 2019.

During the fourth quarter, we maintained solid performance levels in our core businesses while maintaining excellent asset quality throughout the loan portfolio. Total loans grew almost 8% year on year, with strong performance across our entire loan book (except for SMEs). In individual loans, we had a solid increase compared to last year, mainly due to double-digit growth in credit cards, payroll, and auto loans.

In terms of deposits, we continue executing our strategy to attract and retain individual clients while letting go of some expensive corporate deposits. Also, it is worth noting that at the end of 2022, we achieved the greatest exposure to individual clients now contributing 41.4% of total deposits, a significant increase from 24.2% at the beginning of 2016. However, we are still far from where we want to be, so we will continue to focus on it until we are able to achieve a similar mix to what relevant peers have in the Mexican market.

Also, during 2022, we achieved first place ever in the Local Debt Capital Market, with 60 issuances and reaching a market share of ~25% equivalent to an amount of Ps.80 billion pesos, demonstrating the significant trust from our clients in our execution capabilities. Our goal is to offer the best customer experience in both, the advisory business and the retail business.

In terms of financial inclusion, we are very proud of our leadership in the region and the positive impact we have made on our customers through Tuiio. As of the end of 2022, we have helped more than 390 thousand low-income customers, to support inclusive growth through financial empowerment and education. Thanks to these loans, 65% of our clients have experienced improvements in their lives in personal and economic terms.

During 2023, we will continue advancing our strategic priorities, enhancing our products, digital offerings, distribution network, and, most importantly, the overall customer experience. Although we have made good progress with our bank’s operational transformation, we are nevertheless mindful that we must step up the pace in working toward our goal of building a much stronger franchise and becoming the best banking option in Mexico.”

III. Summary of 4Q22 Consolidated Results

In accordance with the General Procedures applicable to Credit Institutions (Disposiciones de Carácter General Aplicables a las Instituciones de Crédito), effective as of January 1, 2022, new local accounting standards based on IFRS-9 entered into effect, approaching the convergence to IFRS international standards.

applicable to credit institutions effective as of January 1, 2022 and a decrease in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by increases in personnel expenses, other expenses and taxes and duties.

Strategic initiatives and commercial actions

Banco Santander Mexico is one of the leading financial groups in the country with a longstanding commitment to innovation, technology services, and continued development. The Bank keeps strengthening and positioning itself as a market leader in value-added products and services by developing proper product offerings and servicing models for mass-market clients and simplifying processes and operations in order to improve customer service quality. Banco Santander Mexico will continue working on its digital transformation by reinforcing digital communication with the aim of expanding digital customers and channels, while strengthening client loyalty of active customers through cross-selling products and increasing satisfaction levels, within the intention of providing the best customer experience in Mexico.

The most relevant aspects of the fourth quarter are highlighted below:

The Bank’s strategic priorities are complemented by a new breadth of products and services, which will allow it to cater to its customers more comprehensively.

The “LikeU” credit card continues to have excellent market acceptance. Since its launch in September of last 2021, the Bank has issued +822 thousand LikeU cards with +91% of active cards. Currently, around 13% of total billing comes from LikeU. In addition, in September 2022, all LikeU credit card users and almost 5 million payroll customers were automatically enrolled in the new “Cash Back Baby” program and are benefiting through its unique offering.

In September 2022, the Bank launched its newest recurring program “Cash Back Baby” which is the latest loyalty program that the Bank launched. With this program, customers will receive a percentage of money back automatically, without registration, and at no cost. The benefit cap is $10,000 pesos per year for the LikeU Credit Card; while for the Debit Card linked to payroll is $5,000 pesos per year. If the customer has both products, they will receive the benefits corresponding to each one.

During 2022, Banco Santander executed 60 issuances in the Local Debt Capital Market, reaching a market share of ~25% equivalent to an amount of $80,221 million pesos, achieving first place ever in volume placed in DCM.

Santander Mexico recently announced that between 2023 and 2025 will invest $500 million dollars each year, for a total of $1.5 billion dollars in this period to continue with the Bank’s digital and technological transformation.

Santander Mexico is preparing the launch of its digital bank in the country under the name of Openbank, a business that has been operating for several years in Spain and has spread to other places such as Netherlands, Germany, Portugal and Argentina, aiming at attracting more digital customers. Currently, the Bank is waiting for regulator´s approval.

The consolidation of the Hipoteca Online digital platform continued, being the only platform in Mexico that connects end to end all processes. In the quarter, the platform processed 97% of transactions digitally. As of 4Q22, around 56% of new originations came through Hipoteca Plus, which helps to

drive cross-selling products, and 41% through Hipoteca Free. Besides, Hipoteca Integral, the Bank’s latest mortgage is reaching a segment of the population that was underserved, recognizing the total income of families (fixed and variable income). Santander continues to be the only bank in Mexico that offers a tailored interest rate based on the client's profile.

The Bank continues to increase the number of its digital and mobile clients by 9% YoY and 10%, respectively. Besides, the ratio of loyal customers continues to grow, now loyal clients represent 45% of active clients (vs 41% in the same quarter of 2021). Moreover, digital transactions now account for more than 49% of total transactions, increasing by 6.3 pp compared to December 2021. As of December 2022, 62% of product sales were made through digital channels, compared to 56% a year ago.

Responsible Banking

For Santander, being sustainable means taking into account the communities where we are present –the people and companies that make them up–, in order to generate continuous and profitable social progress at an economic, environmental, and ethical level. Santander Mexico's commitments to Responsible Banking are an example of its continuous efforts to guarantee a sustainable future for all. Operations are carried out in an ethical and transparent manner to ensure proper compliance with commitments.

As of December 2022, commercial loans increased 3.4% YoY, or Ps.14,804 million, due to increases of 8.0%, or Ps.16,112 million in middle-market loans and 57.4%, or Ps.5,183 million in financial institutions loans.

Mortgage loans continued showing strong growth, increasing 8.8% YoY, or Ps.16,967 million and 1.5%, or Ps.3,103 million sequentially, due to the Bank’s innovative and competitive offering in mortgages. The “Hipoteca Plus” product remains the main driver behind this strong performance, accounting for 56% of total mortgage origination in the quarter, which also helps the Bank to increase cross-selling of other products, as well as build customer loyalty. In addition, the digital onboarding platform for mortgages, “Hipoteca Online”, has allowed the Bank to be more efficient in terms of response times and eliminating the need for our customers to visit a branch, all resulting in a much better customer experience. During 4Q22, 97% of the mortgages were processed through this digital platform. However, the total mortgage loan portfolio is still affected by the run-off of acquired portfolios, excluding this effect, the mortgage portfolio would have increased 11.3% YoY.

Credit card loans continued growing at a solid pace, expanding 20.5% YoY, or Ps.10,945 million, and 6.2% QoQ, or Ps.3,779 million, reflecting an average usage increase of 8.8% YoY, and supported by the Bank’s successful product “Like U”.

It is worth noting that auto loans continued showing a strong performance, increasing 42.5% YoY, or Ps.7,750 million in December 2022 and a 10.2%, or Ps.2,399 million, sequentially. This was a result of the Bank’s alliances with leading automakers in Mexico and supported by the “Super Auto Santander” platform. In addition, with the aim of expanding the business further, the Bank was very active in the used cars segment of the market. As of today, used car loans represent 10% of the total auto loan portfolio. According to the last information published by CNBV, as of November 2022, market share of the Bank in the auto business was 15.6% vs. 11.5% a year ago.

Payroll loans delivered a solid performance, increasing 20.8% YoY, or Ps.7,467 million in December 2022 and a 3.4%, or Ps.1,410 million, sequentially, while personal loans increased 7.9% YoY, or Ps.1,087 million in December 2022 and 1.0%, or Ps.150 million, sequentially, due to the Bank’s improving offer, processes and benefits programs, among others.

classification and qualification of the credit portfolio, to IFRS-9⁵, based on the financial reporting criteria issued by the Mexican Council of Financial Reporting Standards, with a mandatory effective date of January 1^st 2022⁶.

In accordance with the amending resolution to the Provisions published on December 4, 2020, the Bank chose to recognize as of January 31, 2022 the initial accumulated financial effect derived from applying the credit portfolio rating methodology for the first time, increasing the allowance for loan losses with a charge in shareholders' equity in the figure "Accumulated results” in the consolidated statement of financial position. This initial cumulative financial effect amounted to $2,256.

The amounts that would have been recorded and presented both in the consolidated statement of financial position and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as of December 31, 2022 had the option to recognize the aforementioned initial effect in the results of the year are shown below:

The foregoing implied changes in the methodologies for the credit portfolio qualification under the Standardized Models, contained in the CUB, as well as in the internal model approach (IRB⁷), for which the bank calculates it´s credit risk-weighted assets. For the latter, internal models used for provisions’ calculation under NIF⁷ C-16 (local IFRS-9) must be implemented within a period not exceeding 18 months from January 2022.

In addition, the credit portfolio has to be classified into three categories (stages), based on the performance of their credit risk from the time they were granted. Stages replace the previous performing / non-performing Loan classification. Stages are assigned based on the following criteria:

Stage 1: Includes loans without significant credit risk increase since origination; loans with days past due⁸ less than or equal to 30 days.

The Loan Loss Reserve is calculated considering 12-month expected credit losses.

¹ IFRS 9: International Financial Reporting Standards 9

⁵ Originally, the implementation was in January 2021, however, in December 2020, the effective date was postponed to January 2022.

⁶ IRB: Internal Rating Based

⁷NIF: Normas de Información Financiera (Financial Reporting Standards)

⁸ Days of delay < = 30 for commercial portfolio. For retail portfolio, ACT/ATR applies <=1,:

ATR: Monthly number of unpaid payable bills for non-revolving portfolios and

ACT: Number of consecutive defaults for the revolving portfolio (credit card)

Stage 2: Includes loans with significant increase in credit risk since origination; loans with days past⁹ due greater than 30 days and below 90 days, as well as customers that are classified in this Stage by the Portfolio Manager, using qualitative criteria evaluated in accordance with the Bank’s internal operations classification policies.

The calculated Reserve is based on the remaining life of the credit (lifetime), in addition a discount factor in the calculation of Loan Loss Reserve is considered.

Stage 3: Includes loans in default, with days past due¹⁰ greater or equal to 90 days, as well as loans transferred to default by the Portfolio Manager, based on the assessment over quality deterioration, in addition to the Bank’s internal operations classification policies guidelines.

The calculated Reserve considers a probability of default equal to 100%.

In Addition to the changes related to IFRS 9, regulations include the following changes in the portfolio classification methodology:

Change in days considered for the classification in Stage 3 (formerly Non-performing Loans) of revolving credits (Credit Cards and Ágil), from 60 days (previous criteria) to 90 days;

The Loan Loss Reserves calculation for the Motorcycles portfolio must consider the Durable Consumer Goods Portfolio model, previously being calculated with the Car Loans model;

Change in the Loss Given Default (LGD) for the commercial portfolio, recognizing an increase in the parameter based on the elapsed time in Stage 3;

Previously, the accrued interests of customers classified as Non-performing loans had to be reserved at a 100%, with the new regulations, they must be reserved at the same coverage level as the rest of the contract.

Finally, Banco Santander has a plan to comply with the CUB requirements regarding the implementation of internal models for provisions under NIF C-16. Until the implementation of these provisions models, the capital requirement calculation for the IRB portfolios have and will use the current parameters of the internal IRB models, considering an escalation factor (multiplicative add-on) for credits classified in Stage 2.

The impacts in Reserves due to the implementation of the CUB requirements related to
IFRS 9 which were charged against capital were as follows:

	NIF C-16 Implementation			Mortgage NIF C-16	NIF C-16 Corporates and Developers Model
Entity	Reserve Dec-21	Reserve NIF C-16 Dec-21	Variation	Variation (Sep22)	Reserve Dec-22	Reserve NIF C-16 Dec-22	Variation	Total Variation
