Important Information
Non-IFRS and alternative performance measures

In addition to the financial information prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and derived from our financial statements, this presentation contains certain
financial measures that constitute alternative performance measures (“APMs”) as defined in the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority
(ESMA) on 5 October 2015 (ESMA/2015/1415en) and other non-IFRS measures (“Non-IFRS Measures”). The financial measures contained in this presentation that qualify as APMs and non-IFRS measures
have been calculated using the financial information from Santander Group but are not defined or detailed in the applicable financial reporting framework and have neither been audited nor reviewed by
our auditors. We use these APMs and non-IFRS measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. We consider these APMs and non-IFRS measures to be useful metrics for
management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, as these measures exclude items outside the ordinary course performance of our business, which are
grouped in the “management adjustment” line and are further detailed in Section 3.2 of the Economic and Financial Review in our Directors’ Report included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year
ended 31 December 2019. While we believe that these APMs and non-IFRS measures are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not
meant as a substitute of IFRS measures. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate or use such measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative
measures. For further details of the APMs and Non-IFRS Measures used, including its definition or a reconciliation between any applicable management indicators and the financial data presented in the
consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS, please see the 2019 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on 6 March 2020, as well as the section
“Alternative performance measures” of the annex to the Banco Santander, S.A. (“Santander”) Q3 2020 Financial Report, published as Inside Information on 27 October 2020. These documents are available
on Santander’s website (www.santander.com). Underlying measures, which are included in this presentation, are non-IFRS measures.

The businesses included in each of our geographic segments and the accounting principles under which their results are presented here may differ from the included businesses and local applicable
accounting principles of our public subsidiaries in such geographies. Accordingly, the results of operations and trends shown for our geographic segments may differ materially from those of such
subsidiaries.

Forward-looking statements

Santander cautions that this presentation contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-
looking statements may be identified by words such as “expect”, “project”, “anticipate”, “should”, “intend”, “probability”, “risk”, “VaR”, “RoRAC”, “RoRWA”, “TNAV”, “target”, “goal”, “objective”, “estimate”,
“future” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are found in various places throughout this presentation and include, without limitation, statements concerning our future business
development and economic performance and our shareholder remuneration policy. While these forward-looking statements represent our judgment and future expectations concerning the development
of our business, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from our expectations. The following important factors, in
addition to those discussed elsewhere in this presentation, could affect our future results and could cause outcomes to differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statement: (1)
general economic or industry conditions in areas in which we have significant business activities or investments, including a worsening of the economic environment, increasing in the volatility of the
capital markets, inflation or deflation, changes in demographics, consumer spending, investment or saving habits, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the global economy; (2) exposure to various
types of market risks, principally including interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, equity price risk and risks associated with the replacement of benchmark indices; (3) potential losses associated with
prepayment of our loan and investment portfolio, declines in the value of collateral securing our loan portfolio, and counterparty risk; (4) political stability in Spain, the UK, other European countries, Latin
America and the US (5) changes in laws, regulations or taxes, including changes in regulatory capital and liquidity requirements, including as a result of the UK exiting the European Union and increased
regulation in light of the global financial crisis; (6) our ability to integrate successfully our acquisitions and the challenges inherent in diverting management’s focus and resources from other strategic
opportunities and from operational matters while we integrate these acquisitions; and (7) changes in our ability to access liquidity and funding on acceptable terms, including as a result of changes in our
credit spreads or a downgrade in our credit ratings or those of our more significant subsidiaries.

                                                                                                                                                                                                              2

may change at any time. Santander does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Concluding remarks

Supporting our customers in a competitive and uncertain environment
                      The UK economic environment remains uncertain, with an increasing prospect of further restrictions on activity over
                         the winter months and ongoing Brexit trade negotiations. Our base case assumes a slow recovery, with local
                         lockdowns in areas with high infection rates, and a limited trade deal with the EU. With the pace of future recovery
  Financial System       still unclear, we remain cautious in our outlook.
                      In Q3’20 the mortgage market has been particularly active due to pent up demand from the lockdown period and the
                         temporary reduced rates of stamp duty, which have led to improved new mortgage pricing. We have maintained our
                         market share for new mortgage lending.

                      In volume terms, continued growth in lending (+4%) driven by mortgages (+4% YoY) and SMEs (predominantly
        Strategy         through government lending schemes). Deposit volumes up 7% with increases in both retail and corporate accounts.
           &          Focus on digital has increased during the COVID crisis, with digital customers increasing 7%, with mobile customers
        Business         up 15%. 68% of our refinanced mortgages were retained online (+8 pp YoY), 82% of current account openings (+30
                         pp YoY) and 90% of credit card openings were made through digital channels (+27 pp YoY).

                      Repricing of the 1|2|3 current account portfolio (GBP 55 bn) in May and August boosted NII in the quarter (+14%)
                         though YoY continued to be impacted by asset margin pressures. Fee income rebounded slightly in the quarter but
                         was lower in the year due to decreased volumes and regulatory changes affecting overdraft fees.
                      Costs continue to trend downwards, reflect efficiency savings from our transformational investment programme,
         Results         down 5% (-6% in real terms).
                      LLPs increased due to COVID-related provisions, though cost of credit remained low (27 bps).
                      Underlying attributable profit decreased 62% YoY, reflecting the material impact of COVID, although Q3 performance
                         rebounded strongly due to decisive management actions on deposit repricing.

                                                                                                                                                23
