Mike Regnier, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We have delivered a good set of results in spite of a challenging macroeconomic environment. We have prioritised our customers' needs, offering the right products and services as well as support with their finances when they need it. We provided competitive rates for savers, including a top-of-market easy access savings account, and helped homeowners struggling with rising rates, through the Government's Mortgage Charter.

This quarter we opened our new head office in Milton Keynes, offering sustainable office spaces and exciting opportunities for both staff and the wider community. We have continued our branch network investment and modernisation programme, encouraging people to visit and make the most of the facilities we provide. We also opened two new Work Cafés, providing a modern environment to access banking services, co-working space and free meeting rooms.

Our clear strategy and prudent approach to risk - alongside the positive benefits of Banco Santander's new operating model - will enable us to continue to support customers through the economic challenges ahead."

9M-23 financial and business highlights

We continued to help and support our customers facing the pressures of the current economic environment

 
--  Strong deposit proposition with top-of-market savings rate in September 
     and Edge Up current account paying interest and cashback.

     with the increased cost of living. 
--  Network investment with ongoing branch refurbishment and new Work 
     Cafés opened, providing banking and community services. 
--  NPS ranked 5(th) for Retail and 1(st) for Business & Corporate. 
     Customer service is integral to our strategy and remains a key area 
     of focus(1) . 
 

Good set of results with profit before tax of GBP1,731m (9M-22: GBP1,489m)

 
--  Credit impairment charges down 20% to GBP204m. Cost of risk(2) of 
     13bps (9M-22: 9bps), close to expected through-the-cycle average. 
--  Profit before tax up 16%, RoTE(2) of 15.0% (2022: 12.0%). Adjusted 
     profit(2) before tax up 13%, adjusted RoTE (2) of 15.5% (2022: 14.1%). 
--  Banking NIM(2) up 19bps to 2.23% (9M-22: 2.04%) largely driven by 
     base rate increases and active management of our balance sheet. 
--  CIR(2) of 47% (9M-22: 48%) as income increased, and transformation 
     programme savings partially offset inflationary pressures. 
--  Transformation programme investment of GBP122m in 9M-23 (9M-22: 
     GBP156m). Adjusted CIR(2) of 44% (9M-22: 44%). 
 

Customer loans and deposits reduced following market trends and our disciplined pricing actions

 
      --        With a slower housing market and higher mortgage rates, applications 
                 fell in the first nine months of the year. 
      --        Our decision to optimise the balance sheet given higher funding 
                 costs has contributed to a reduction of GBP10.1bn in mortgage lending. 
      --        Customer deposits reduced by GBP6.0bn in 9M-23; only down GBP0.2bn 
                 in Q3-23 following good deposit acquisition in September. 
      --        As a result of active balance sheet management, our LDR reduced 
                 to 111% (Dec-22: 113%). 
 

Our strategy delivers strong liquidity, funding and capital with prudent approach to risk

 
--  Strong LCR of 155% (2022: 163%) with liquidity pool of GBP51.1bn 
     (2022: GBP49.0bn). 
--  Customer deposits mainly retail with low average balances, 86% of 
     these are covered by depositor guarantee scheme (FSCS). 
--  85% of lending is prime UK retail mortgages with an average LTV 
     of 51% (2022: 50%). Unsecured retail constitutes 2% of lending. 
--  Corporate customers are diversified across operating sectors. Low 
     exposure to CRE and BTL lending. 
--  Stage 3 ratio of 1.48% (2022: 1.24%), with a modest increase in 
     customers entering late arrears and a smaller mortgage book. 
--  CET1 capital ratio of 16.0% (2022: 15.2%) and UK leverage ratio 
     of 5.3% (2022: 5.2%), well above regulatory requirements. 
--  Repaid GBP6.0bn TFSME in 9M-23 as planned with GBP19.0bn outstanding. 
     Stable and diversified wholesale funding programmes. 
 

Looking ahead

 
--  We expect high-for-longer interest rates to have a more pronounced 
     impact on households and businesses. 
--  Banking NIM(2) is likely to peak in 2023 reflecting base rate increases 
     and disciplined pricing actions. 
--  We expect transformation programme savings to continue to help offset 
     inflationary pressures on operating expenses.

Profit before tax up 16%

 
--              Net interest income up 8% largely due to the impact of higher base 
                 rates with disciplined deposit pricing, partially offset by a reduction 
                 in lending margins. Banking NIM(2) benefited from the disciplined 
                 pricing actions across both sides of the balance sheet, deposit 
                 betas increased in the third quarter. 
--              Non-interest income broadly flat. The GBP46m gain 
                 from our sale of Euroclear shares was partially 
                 offset by unrealised gains in 9M-22 which were not 
                 repeated this year. 
      --        Operating expenses(3) up 5%, transformation programme 
                 and ongoing efficiency savings partially offset 
                 inflationary pressure on costs. 
      --        Credit impairment charges down 20%, reflecting better macroeconomic 
                 scenarios from Sep-22. 
      --        Provisions for other liabilities and charges broadly flat . 
      --        Tax on profit increased by GBP106m as a result of both higher profits 
                 and an increase in underlying tax rates overall for the period, 
                 2022 was also impacted favourably by a legislative reduction in 
                 the bank surcharge rate. 
 

Adjusted profit before tax up 13%(2)

      --        Early and late arrears remain at low levels across the portfolio. 
                 However, we have seen a slight increase in mortgage, UPLs and overdrafts 
                 arrears in recent quarters. Mortgage arrears of 0.74% remain below 
                 pre-Covid-19 average of 1.31%(1) . 
 

9M-23 ECL provision increased by GBP57m to GBP1,064m (Dec-22: GBP1,007m)

 
--        Increases reflect updated economic assumptions and in CCB from higher 
           single name cases. In the third quarter we incorporated a softening 
           in the UK housing market in our scenarios. 
      --  Gross write-off utilisation of GBP149m (9M-22: GBP120m).

Updated economic scenarios

 
--  Our base case is broadly aligned to latest market consensus. 
--  The stubborn inflation scenario is based on higher inflation, which 
     is persistently above the Bank of England target leading to further 
     base rate increases. These further add to the cost of living crisis 
     and falling consumer demand. 
--  The other downside scenarios capture a range of risks, including 
     continuing weaker investment reflecting the unstable environment; 
     a larger negative impact from the EU trade deal increasing costs 
     and a continuing and significant mismatch between job vacancies 
     and skills, as well as a smaller labour force. 
--  The upside scenario incorporates a quicker economic recovery with 
     some lag in house price declines compared to the base case. 
--  Scenario weightings were unchanged between Q3-23 and Q2-23.

Treasury

Highly liquid balance sheet

 
      --  Strong LCR of 155%, (Dec-22: 163%), with GBP18.1bn surplus LCR eligible 
           liquid assets to minimum requirement. 
      --  LCR eligible liquidity pool of GBP51.1bn (Dec-22: GBP49.0bn), includes 
           GBP40.1bn cash and central bank reserves (Dec-22: GBP44.5bn). 
      --  Term duration in the LCR eligible liquidity pool is hedged with 
           swaps to offset mark to market movements from interest rate changes. 
 

Strong and diversified funding across well-established issuance programmes

 
      --  LDR reduced to 111% with lower customer lending and deposits after 
           pricing actions in Q4-22 to optimise the customer balance sheet 
           and mortgages down GBP10.1bn and deposits down GBP6.0bn. 
      --  In 9M-23 we issued c.GBP5.6bn Sterling equivalent medium term funding, 
           including c.GBP1.5bn of MREL issuance and c.GBP4.1bn of other secured 
           issuance from Santander UK plc. We also issued GBP1.1bn of Tier 
           2 securities which were bought by Banco Santander. 
 

Capital ratios well above regulatory requirements

 
      --  The CET1 capital ratio increased 80bps to 16.0%. This was largely 
           due to higher profit and a reduction in RWA exposure. We remain 
           strongly capitalised with significant headroom to minimum requirements 
           and MDA. 
      --        RWAs decreased with lower mortgage lending and active balance sheet 
                 management. 
      --        UK leverage ratio remained broadly stable at 5.3% (2022: 5.2%). 
                 UK leverage exposure remained stable at GBP249.2bn (2022: GBP248.6bn). 
      --  Total capital ratio increased to 22.2% (2022: 20.4%) as a result 
           of the increase in CET1 ratio and Tier 2 issuances. 
 

Structural hedge evolution

 
      --  Our structural hedge position decreased, with c.GBP99bn at Sep-23 
           (Dec-22: c.GBP108bn), and duration of c.2.6 years (Dec-22: c.2.5 
           years). 
      --  The balance on the structural hedge fell in 2023 reflecting lower 
           non-rate sensitive liabilities. The overall contribution has however 
           increased as maturities were replaced with higher yielding term 
           assets offsetting the lower balance. Going forward we expect the 
           overall contribution of the structural hedge to continue to increase.

Appendix 1 - Alternative Performance Measures

In addition to the financial information prepared under IFRS, this Quarterly Management Statement contains non-IFRS financial measures that constitute APMs, as defined in ESMA guidelines. The financial measures contained in this report that qualify as APMs have been calculated using the financial information of the Santander UK group but are not defined or detailed in the applicable financial information framework or under IFRS. We use these APMs when planning, monitoring, and evaluating our performance. We consider these APMs to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. Whilst we believe that these APMs are useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for IFRS measures.

   a)     Adjusted profit metrics 

As shown in the table below, profit before tax is adjusted for items management believe to be significant. We adjust for these to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period.

Prior period adjustment: In Q1-23 we removed the operating lease depreciation adjustment to non-interest income and operating expenses to align to Banco Santander's presentation. Prior periods were restated, there was no impact on adjusted profit. In 9M-22 adjusted non-interest income and adjusted operating expenses increased by GBP60m and the adjusted CIR increased by 1pp to 44%.

Net loss / (gain) on sale of property: previously named 'net gain on sale of London head office and branch properties', now also includes subsequent sale of property under our transformation programme.

Transformation costs and charges: relate to a multi-year project to deliver on our strategic priorities and enhance efficiency in order for us to better serve our customers and meet our medium-term targets.

Adjusted CIR

Calculated as adjusted total operating expenses before credit impairment (charges) / write-backs, provisions and charges as a percentage of the total of net interest income and adjusted non-interest income. We consider this metric useful for management and investors as an efficiency measure to capture the amount spent to generate income, as we invest in our multi-year transformation programme.

   b)    Adjusted RoTE

We consider this adjusted measure useful for management and investors as a measure of income generation on shareholder investment, as we focus on improving returns through our multi-year transformation programme.
