Héctor Grisi, Banco Santander México's Executive President and CEO, commented: "As we entered the third and final year of transforming our bank operationally and digitally, successful execution of our strategy continued improving performance across all business areas. Our discipline allowed us to deliver a 12% year-on-year increase in net income, with ROAE rising 53 basis points to 16.4%. We achieved this while continuing to invest in our strategic initiatives and improving asset quality throughout our loan portfolio.

Also reflecting the strength of our strategy to become a more client-centric bank, we made further progress driving sustained high-quality loan expansion that was in line with the market, while generating our ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth in retail deposits. More importantly, our base of loyal clients, who are four times more profitable than others, continues to expand at a strong, double-digit rate. The number of digital and mobile customers accelerated at an even faster pace, as our digital transformation advances

Attracted by the growing strength of our franchise and the potential of Mexico's financial sector, our parent company recently announced its intention to launch a voluntary exchange offer to acquire minority shareholders' interests in Banco Santander México. As part of this offer, there are no plans to de-list Banco Santander México's shares neither from the Mexican Stock Exchange nor from the NYSE."
