Nathan Bostock, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The results for the first half of the year reflect the start of a multi-year investment in our strategic transformation programme, a number of external factors and our prudent approach to risk. Our business remains strong, with the further enhancement of our mortgage franchise and increases in our retail and corporate deposits, both important customer loyalty drivers."
"These are uncertain times, and our profitability has been impacted by a fall in income due to the highly competitive UK mortgage market. Against this external backdrop, we continue to invest in our business in order to strengthen our competitive position and improve efficiency which has resulted in additional strategic transformation costs."
"As our customers' needs are changing fast - so are we - becoming simpler and more focused, more effective at harnessing technology, and faster at turning innovative new ideas into reality. Our goal is to provide our customers with an experience that is second to none."
"We are confident that our strategy, combining prudence with decisive actions, will deliver significant benefits over the medium-term and leave us strongly positioned for the future."
Business and financial highlights
§ | Statutory PBT of £575m, down 36% year-on-year and adjusted PBT 1 of £743m, down 17% predominantly driven by income pressure from the mortgage back book. Statutory PBT was also impacted by investment in our transformation programme and PPI charges. | |||
§ | We have started our multi-year strategic transformation programme and plan to invest £400m before the end of 2021. We expect to achieve a 2-3 year payback on our investment alongside a better customer experience. | |||
§ | Transformation programme spend of £113m year-to-date, largely on restructuring the branch network and actions to re-shape our corporate business, will quickly translate into improved efficiency. | |||
§ | We expect income pressure to continue to impact our results, with the significant cost savings from our transformation programme largely offsetting this over the medium-term. | |||
§ | Net mortgage growth of £1.4bn, as we continue to strengthen our mortgage franchise in a competitive market and aim to maintain our mortgage market share in the medium-term. | |||
§ | Managed reduction in CRE lending of £0.4bn, with a focus on risk-weighted returns. | |||
§ | Corporate deposits up £1.6bn and retail deposits up £0.7bn, including our strongest ISA campaign in recent years. | |||
§ | Banking NIM of 1.69%, down 11bps since FY18, with pressure from the mortgage back book and continued SVR attrition. New mortgage margins have improved slightly during the year. | |||
§ | CIR of 60%, up 4pp since FY18 largely driven by income pressures. | |||
§ | Provisions for other liabilities and charges included £100m of transformation programme and £70m of PPI charges. | |||
§ | Credit quality remained very strong, supported by our prudent approach to risk. Stage 3 ratio 2 of 1.28% and a low cost of risk at 7bps, demonstrate the resilience of our balance sheet. | |||
§ | RoTE of 7.9%, down 180bps year-on-year, largely driven by income pressure from the mortgage back book. | |||
§ | CET1 capital ratio up 60bps to 13.8%; reaching our end-state capital position through capital accretion and active RWA management.

H119 compared to H118
§ | Net interest income was down 8%, largely impacted by pressure from the mortgage back book and £2.1bn of SVR attrition (Q219: £0.5bn). |
§ | Non-interest income was down 11%, largely due to £63m of ring-fencing perimeter changes in CIB, partially offset by £15m additional consideration received in connection with the 2017 Vocalink Holdings Limited shareholding sale (Vocalink). Following a change in accounting treatment of operating leases, consumer (auto) finance income also increased. Non-interest income was down 2%, when adjusted for ring-fencing perimeter changes and the additional consideration received in connection with Vocalink. |
§ | Operating expenses before credit impairment losses, provisions and charges were down 1%, largely due to £41m of ring-fencing perimeter changes and £28m of Banking Reform costs from H118, as well as £13m of transformation costs this year. Operating expenses increased 3%, when adjusted for ring-fencing perimeter changes, Banking Reform and transformation costs. We also incurred higher depreciation costs related to prior year investment projects and the change in accounting treatment of operating leases in consumer (auto) finance. These increases were partially offset by lower employee costs. |
§ | Credit impairment losses decreased 24%, with a release from a significant risk transfer (SRT) securitisation in Jun19 and single name charges in CIB which were not repeated this year. All portfolios continue to perform very well. |
§ | Provisions for other liabilities and charges were up £173m to £206m, with £100m of transformation programme charges (predominantly restructuring costs) in Corporate Centre and £70m PPI provision charge in Retail Banking. Provisions for other liabilities and charges were down £8m, when adjusted for transformation charges, PPI charges and other conduct provision releases. |
§ | Profit before tax was down 36% to £575m, adjusted profit before tax was down 17% to £743m, for the reasons outlined above. |
§ | Tax on profit decreased £69m to £164m, as a result of lower taxable profits in H119, with PPI charges not tax deductible. |
Conduct remediation - Payment Protection Insurance (PPI)
§ | At Jun19, the remaining provision for redress and related costs was £248m. This includes a provision for PPI redress as well as our best estimate of liability for a specific portfolio which was disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report. |
§ | We made an additional provision of £70m in Q219 reflecting an increase in PPI claims volumes, additional industry activities and having considered guidance provided by the FCA, in advance of the PPI claims deadline on 29 August 2019. |
§ | We will continue to monitor our provision levels and take account of the impact of any further change in claims received and FCA guidance. |

Q219 compared to Q119
Quarter on quarter variances largely followed the trends outlined for H119 versus H118, with the following notable exception:
§ | Non-interest income was up £36m, driven by an accounting treatment change of contract hire leases in consumer (auto) finance and the additional consideration received in connection with Vocalink. |

§ | Customer loans increased £0.7bn, with higher mortgage and consumer (auto) finance lending partially offset by a reduction in CIB and CRE exposures. |
|
§ | Customer deposits increased £2.7bn, driven by higher corporate deposits as well as increased savings and business banking deposits in Retail Banking. |
|
§ | MTF balance decreased, reflecting maturities in the period, partially offset by covered bond issuance of £1bn in Feb19 and €1bn in May19, as well as senior unsecured issuance of $1bn in Jun19. | |

§ | CET1 capital was stable at £10.4bn, with ongoing capital accretion through retained profits, offset by market-driven pension movements. |
§ | RWAs reduced largely as a result of the Jun19 SRT securitisation and lower lending in our corporate business as we continue to focus on risk-weighted returns. This was partially offset by increased RWAs in Retail Banking with lending growth in mortgages and consumer (auto) finance. |
§ | CET1 capital ratio increased 60bps to 13.8%, achieving our end-state capital position, notwithstanding any future changes to the counter-cyclical buffer. As leverage becomes the binding constraint, CET1 capital ratio could continue to increase alongside lending growth. |
§ | We take a prudent approach to risk and our calculation of RWAs uses through-the-cycle modelling of unexpected losses. As a result we have a higher mortgage RWA translation ratio than other large UK banks. Following implementation of planned PRA changes by 1 January 2021, RWA calculation models will have to use a hybrid of through-the-cycle and point-in-time assumptions and as a result we expect a significant decrease in our RWAs. |

§ | ANTS liquidity benefits from £5.1bn of deposits in our Crown Dependencies business. |
Proposed changes to our operating companies' structure
§ | As part of ring-fencing implementation, we adopted a wide ring-fenced bank model with most of our operations within Santander UK plc, our ring-fenced bank. ANTS is outside the RFB and also holds our wealth management businesses in the Crown Dependencies, which are not permitted within the ring-fence as they are located outside the UK. |
§ | To optimise the overall funding structure of the bank we are considering the transfer of some RFB assets to ANTS to enable more efficient use of Crown Dependencies deposits. |
1. | Segmental RWAs for 31.12.18 restated to reflect the transfer of our short term markets activity from CIB to Corporate Centre and the reallocation of an equity stake in a joint venture from Corporate Centre to Retail Banking. |

§ | Vocalink Holdings Limited shareholding Santander UK was part of the consortium of banks that sold a majority of the shares in Vocalink Holdings Limited to Mastercard in 2017. Under the terms of the sale agreement, we retained a shareholding of 0.775%. In respect of the shares we sold in 2017, we were entitled to receive additional consideration where Vocalink's 2018 earnings performance exceeded an agreed amount and in Jun19 we received additional consideration of £15m. | |||||||
§ | Transformation costs and charges 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. Q119 charges largely related to restructuring of our branch network. Further charges in Q219 were largely associated with the announced plans to reshape our Corporate & Commercial Banking business. | |||||||
§ | PPI We have been closely involved in the additional industry activities to support the regulatory time-bar for claims and orderly closure of the FCA remediation campaign. We made an additional provision of £70m in Q219 reflecting an increase of claims volumes and additional industry activities taking into account guidance provided by the FCA, in advance of the PPI claims deadline on 29 August 2019. | |||||||
