~~Washington,~~ Santander ~~D.C.~~UK ~~20549~~Group Holdings plc Quarterly Management Statement for the six months ended 30 June 2026

~~Form~~ Quarterly Management Statement Q2-26 1 Santander UK Group Holdings plc Mahesh Aditya, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Following successful completion of the acquisition of TSB on 30 April, we were pleased to welcome 4 million customers and 4,500 colleagues to Santander UK, making us the UK's third-largest bank by personal current accounts and fourth-largest mortgage lender. Our priority is to deliver a successful integration of TSB, alongside our continued strategic focus on deepening customer relationships and operational efficiency, leveraging world class technology investment by Banco Santander and the growing use of AI to better serve our customers. Our H1-26 results show good business performance, with continued net lending growth as well as increased efficiency, driven by simplification and automation. However, profit before tax decreased to £528m, mainly due to an increase in Q1-26 in the provision charge relating to historical motor finance commission payments and higher restructuring costs. Santander UK and TSB have 480 branches and, as I’ve travelled across the UK over the past few months speaking with branch colleagues, I have been impressed with the excellent service they provide to customers who choose to bank with us that way. As we integrate TSB with Santander UK, our ambition for customers is to combine leading digital services with the personal support they value, helping us to create the best bank for customers in the UK. I see branches as an important part of our strategy and do not intend to close any additional Santander or TSB branches before 2028 at the earliest, alongside our continued commitment to invest in modernising our network and to introduce new Work Cafés.” H1-26 financial and business highlights Focus on providing our customers with products and services that meet their needs • Supported first-time buyers and savers with competitive and innovative new products, including the market-leading Regular Saver and the First Home Saver linked to our My First Home mortgage. • Our front-line teams used tailored AI solutions to support with 4.3 million customer phone calls. • Proactively contacted 146,000 customers we expect to be most severely impacted by energy cost pressures, signposting support available. • Retail NPS2 ranking remained steady at 6th, but we are encouraged by the improving trajectory of our recent scores. Our latest customer surveys reflect improving trust, stronger perceptions of value and increasing customer advocacy. H1-26 profit before tax decreased by £236m to £528m (H1-25: £764m), mainly due to the charge in Q1-26 relating to historical motor finance commission payments and higher restructuring costs • Banking NIM3 of 2.25% was broadly flat (H1-25: 2.26%), as the inclusion of TSB’s higher NIM was offset by higher cost of deposits due to our focus on growth in a competitive market, mitigated by our structural hedge. • Net interest income increased 8%, due to the inclusion of TSB. • Operating expenses4 were broadly flat as the inclusion of TSB’s costs was offset by ongoing simplification and automation. • CIR3, 4 of 54% improved 4pp, due to increased operational efficiency. • Credit impairment charges were up £173m, mainly due to the acquisition of TSB, including a day 1 charge of £62m, where accounting rules require non-credit impaired balances to be brought onto our books with a Stage 1 ECL provision. Credit impairment charges also increased due to a deterioration in the economic outlook reflecting recent events in the global economy. Cost of risk3 of 18bps (Dec-25: 10bps), up mainly due to the day 1 charge for TSB (4bps). • Restructuring and specific provisions4 were up £272m, driven by a £179m increase in the provision charge in Q1-26 relating to historical motor finance commission payments and higher restructuring costs. • TSB loss before tax from 1 May to 30 June 2026 of £25m mainly due to the day 1 credit impairment charge of £62m noted above. • RoTE3 of 9.1% (2025: 10.0%), was down 90bps; the Q1-26 historical motor finance commission payments charge reduced RoTE by 110bps. Customer loans and deposits increased, reflecting the TSB acquisition, and continued broad based growth; LDR of 105% (Dec-25: 105%) • Mortgage loans increased to £204.7bn (Dec-25: £169.0bn) mainly due to the inclusion of TSB; higher gross mortgage lending in H1-26 of £14.7bn (H1-25: £10.6bn). • Customer deposits increased to £227.2bn (Dec-25: £190.2bn) mainly due to TSB, and with a continued flow into term savings. • Acquired TSB balances remained stable. • Asset quality remains good. Stage 3 ratio3 of 0.85% down 32bps from Dec-25; (10bps due to high RWA mortgage sale); arrears remain low. Strong liquidity and funding, with our capital position maintaining significant buffers to regulatory requirements; we remain focused on capital efficiency • CET1 capital ratio of 14.2% (Dec-25: 15.7%), as we optimised capital levels alongside the acquisition of TSB and resumed declaring dividends; UK leverage ratio of 4.9% (Dec-25: 5.1%). • Equivalent of £6.8bn in term issuance in H1-K26; we continue to maintain diversified and resilient wholesale funding. • LCR stable at 166% (Dec-25: 166%). Outlook • We expect to see net lending growth continue in 2026. • Banking NIM is expected to be stable in 2026. We continue to manage our structural hedge position for income stability. • Cost of risk is expected to stabilise across 2026. • We expect further cost efficiencies in 2026, driven by simplification and automation of our business, and integration of TSB. • We reconfirm our published targets of increasing RoTE to 16%, with cost synergies of at least £400m, by the end of 2028. • We continue to monitor risks from geopolitical events, including in the Middle East and the UK, and the potential impact on inflation.

~~SANTANDER~~ Quarterly Management Statement Q2-26 6 Santander UK ~~GROUP~~Group ~~HOLDINGS~~Holdings ~~PLC~~plc Economic scenarios Economic scenarios were updated for Q2-26 to reflect the latest market data, including expectations for inflation and Bank Rate • The Base Case was updated to reflect recent events in the global economy. These are expected to result in higher inflation and Bank Rate paths than previously expected. Weaker growth and higher unemployment is also anticipated. • The Downside scenarios capture a range of risks, including further escalation of geopolitical events, continuing weaker investment (reflecting the unstable environment and higher cost of employment), a continuing and significant mismatch between job vacancies and skills (as well as a smaller labour force) and a return to upside inflation surprises causing interest rates to remain at higher levels for longer. • The Upside scenario incorporates stronger economic growth, driven by an improvement in the supply side of the economy. • There were no changes to weights in Q2-26. Weights were updated in Q1-26 to reflect increased downside risks to the UK economic outlook. The Downside 1 weight was increased by 5%, and the Base Case weight was decreased by 5%.

This was partially offset by higher income. Consumer Finance • Customer loans were stable, and we continue to focus on value and capital generation. • Loss before tax mainly due to higher provision charges in Q1-26 in respect of historical motor finance commission payments. Corporate & Commercial Banking • Continued focus on high-value and international business. • Profit before tax was broadly flat, as higher credit impairment charges were offset by cost discipline. Corporate Centre • Loss before tax increased, mainly due to integration related costs.

~~NOTICE~~ Quarterly OFManagement ~~OPTIONAL~~Statement ~~FULL~~Q2-26 14 Santander ~~REDEMPTION~~UK Group Holdings plc Appendix 5 - Other Acquisition of TSB On 30 April 2026, Santander UK plc acquired 100% of the issued ordinary share capital of TSB Banking Group plc from Banco de Sabadell SA (Sabadell). TSB Banking Group plc and its subsidiaries (TSB) undertake banking and other financial services related activities in the UK. The consideration paid by Santander UK plc to Sabadell at completion for the entire issued ordinary share capital of TSB Banking Group plc was £2.65bn, plus Sabadell's estimate of the difference in TSB's tangible net asset value between 1 April 2025 and 30 April 2026 (TNAV Variation) of approximately £213m. The consideration paid at completion will be adjusted upwards or downwards once the final TNAV Variation has been determined after completion. Any adjustment will be paid as soon as possible after the final determination has been made. The transaction has been financed from Santander UK plc's existing cash resources and from funding provided by its ultimate parent, Banco Santander SA. In addition, Santander UK plc acquired all TSB securities held by Sabadell, this included £250m Fixed Rate Reset Additional Tier 1 Perpetual Non cumulative Contingent Convertible Securities, £300m of Fixed-to-floating rate callable subordinated Tier 2 capital notes and £650m of Senior unsecured debt securities. The acquisition makes Santander UK the third-largest bank by personal current accounts and fourth-largest mortgage lender. It strengthened Santander UK’s market position and critical mass. By integrating technology across Santander UK and TSB, we expect to unlock substantial operational efficiencies and support long-term profitability through a simplified, scalable digital banking model. It is intended to integrate the business of TSB Bank plc into Santander UK plc through a banking business transfer scheme under Part VII of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 in the first half of 2027. This integration is conditional on court sanction and regulatory non-objection. The transaction is expected to contribute to a targeted increase in Santander UK's return on tangible equity to 16% by 2028, with cost synergies of at least £400m. Further information on the acquisition, including the determination of the value of goodwill, will be included in the Santander UK Group Holdings plc Half Yearly Financial Report 2026 to be published on 7 August 2026. Historical motor finance commission payments On 30 March 2026, the FCA published its Policy Statement PS26/3: Motor finance consumer redress scheme. Following its assessment of the final scheme rules, which include several changes to the proposals in the Consultation, Santander UK decided not to challenge the scheme and to focus on its implementation in order to bring greater certainty to its customers. Santander UK updated its scenarios and assumptions including operational and legal costs. This resulted in a total provision of £633m at 31 March 2026. After utilisation of costs incurred to date, a provision of £623m remained at 30 June 2026. Applications have been made by certain lenders and a consumer group to challenge aspects of the scheme before the Upper Tribunal. On 1 July 2026, the Tribunal made orders providing for the management of those proceedings and partially suspending certain elements of the scheme including making compensation payments pending determination of the challenges. The substantive hearing is expected to take place by Q1 2027. As a result, the legal and regulatory outcomes, and the nature, extent and timing of any remediation action remain uncertain. Santander UK has not incorporated the potential impact of the legal challenges into its provision estimate as the impact is not considered material based on current estimates. The ultimate financial impact could differ due to factors such as customer response rates and average cost of redress. Santander UK will continue to keep the provision under review as further developments emerge. Retail NPS Our customer experience research was subject to independent third party review. We measured the main banking NPS of 17,876 consumers on a six month basis using a 11-point scale (% Top 2 – % Bottom 7). The reported brand data is based on the six months ended 30 June 2026, and the competitor brand set included in the ranking analysis is Barclays, Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds Bank, Nationwide, NatWest Group (NatWest & RBS) and TSB. The NPS compares brands rather than banking groups. Following its acquisition by Santander UK, TSB remains a separate brand and therefore continues to form part of the competitor brand set. Jun-26: NPS ranked 6th for Retail, we note a margin of error which impacts those from 5th to 6th and makes their rank statistically equivalent. Dec-25: NPS ranked 6th for Retail, we note a margin of error which impacts those from 4th to 6th and makes their rank statistically equivalent.

TO Quarterly ~~HOLDERS~~Management OFStatement Q2-26 15 Santander UK Group Holdings plc Change in accounting policy In Q1-26, Santander UK voluntarily changed its accounting policy to reclassify certain costs previously included in the ‘Provisions for other liabilities and charges’ line in the Consolidated Income Statement. Regulatory levies and fees are now classified in ‘Non-interest income’, while operational risk and other related costs have been reclassified to ‘Operating expenses’. Restructuring costs and/or specific, more significant or one- off provisions have not been reclassified so as a result, ‘Provisions for other liabilities and charges’ has been renamed to ‘Restructuring and specific provisions’, and ‘Total operating income’ has been renamed as ‘Net operating income’. This change provides reliable and more relevant information to users of the financial statements as it aligns our presentation with our ultimate parent, Banco Santander. The change in accounting policy had no effect on any other primary financial statements, income statement metrics (except the CIR), key indicators, liquidity ratios, or maturity and offsetting disclosures. Comparative periods have also been reclassified. The financial impact of the changes was: H1-25 Summarised consolidated income statement As originally published Change Reclassified £m £m £m Net interest income 2,215 — 2,215 Non-interest income 172 (93) 79 Net operating income 2,387 (93) 2,294 Operating expenses before credit impairment charges, restructuring and specific provisions (1,269) (62) (1,331) Credit impairment charges (105) — (105) Restructuring and specific provisions (249) 155 (94) Profit before tax 764 — 764 Tax on profit (196) — (196) Profit after tax 568 — 568 Banking NIM 2.26 % — bps 2.26 % CIR 53 % 5 pp 58 % Cost of risk 6 bps — bps 6 bps
