--Banco Santander 4Q net profit beat expectations
--The bank achieved its 2018 targets, including double-digit
growth in EPS
--Last year's results benefited from significant growth in
customer revenue in markets such as Brazil, Spain, Mexico and the
US.
Banco Santander SA (SAN.MC) achieved the targets of its
three-year strategic plan and closed 2018 with a profit beat as
fourth-quarter net profit topped expectations.
Net profit for the period rose 34% on year to 2.07 billion euros
($2.37 billion), the Spanish lender said Wednesday.
Gross income, Santander's top line, rose 4% to EUR12.54
billion.
Analysts had expected a net profit of EUR1.94 billion on gross
income of EUR12.17 billion, according to a consensus forecast
provided by FactSet.
For the full year, the bank reported net profit of EUR7.81
billion on gross income of EUR48.42 billion, the latter being the
highest on record, the bank said.
Last year's results benefited from significant growth in
customers revenue in several markets, such as Brazil, Spain, Mexico
and the US.
"2018 has been an excellent year for the group. We have
successfully completed our three-year strategic plan," Executive
Chairman Ana Botin said.
Santander's core tier 1 ratio, a key measure of balance-sheet
strength, rose to 11.3% at the end of December from 11.1% as of
September. This "in spite of external and regulatory headwinds,"
Ms. Botin said.
In the medium term, the bank targets a RoTE of 13% to 15% and
core tier 1 ratio of between 11% and 12%.
"Latin America has remained an important engine for growth
within the Group, with especially strong progress in Brazil and
Mexico," she said.
The bank has achieved its 2018 targets. These included a
double-digit growth in EPS, a core tier 1 ratio above 11% and a
return on tangible equity--a key measure of profitability--above
11.5%.
