H1'23 Highlights
Important information
The following important factors (and others described elsewhere in this presentation and other
risk factors, uncertainties or contingencies detailed in our most recent Form 20-F and subsequent
6-Ks filed with, or furnished to, the SEC), as well as other unknown or unpredictable factors, could
affect our future development and results and could lead to outcomes materially different from
what our forward-looking statements anticipate, expect, project or assume: (1) general economic
or industry conditions (e.g., an economic downturn; higher volatility in the capital markets;
inflation; deflation; changes in demographics, consumer spending, investment or saving habits;
and the effects of the war in Ukraine or the COVID-19 pandemic in the global economy) in areas
where we have significant operations or investments; (2) climate-related conditions, regulations,
policies, targets and weather events; (3) exposure to various market risks (e.g., risks from interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and new benchmark indices); (4) potential losses from
early loan repayment, collateral depreciation or counterparty risk; (5) political instability in Spain,
the UK, other European countries, Latin America and the US; (6) legislative, regulatory or tax
changes (including regulatory capital and liquidity requirements), especially in view of the UK's
exit from the European Union and increased regulation prompted by financial crises; (7) acquisition
integration challenges arising from deviating management's resources and attention from other
strategic opportunities and operational matters; (8) our own decisions and actions including those
affecting or changing our practices, operations, priorities, strategies, policies or procedures; (9)
uncertainty over the scope of actions that may be required by us, governments and others to
achieve goals relating to climate, environmental and social matters, as well as the evolving nature
of underlying science and industry and governmental standards and regulations; and (10) changes
affecting our access to liquidity and funding on acceptable terms, especially due to credit spread
shifts or credit rating downgrades for the entire group or core subsidiaries.
Forward looking statements are based on current expectations and future estimates about
Santander's and third-parties' operations and businesses and address matters that are uncertain to
varying degrees, including, but not limited to developing standards that may change in the future;
plans, projections, expectations, targets, objectives, strategies and goals relating to
environmental, social, safety and governance performance, including expectations regarding
future execution of Santander's and third-parties' energy and climate strategies, and the
underlying assumptions and estimated impacts on Santander's and third-parties' businesses
related thereto; Santander's and third-parties' approach, plans and expectations in relation to
carbon use and targeted reductions of emissions; changes in operations or investments under
existing or future environmental laws and regulations; and changes in government regulations,
regulatory requirements and internal policies, including those related to climate-related
initiatives.
