Héctor Grisi, Grupo Financiero Santander México’s Executive President and CEO, commented,“We reported strong performance this quarter as we continue to drive profitable growth. Importantly, this was achieved against the backdrop of a more challenging global environment, demonstrating the resilience of our business. Ongoing expansion in demand deposits and strong loan growth underpinned results, and we are increasingly able to leverage operating efficiencies.”
“The strategic commercial initiatives launched earlier this year to become a client centric bank through a strong focus on innovation and operational transformation are starting to show promising results. Santander Plus boasts more than 700,000 customers, demonstrating the strength of our value proposition while reducing attrition. Most importantly, 50% of these are new clients. Our Aeromexico co-branded card is proving very successful with over 300,000 customers to date. Progress was also made in implementing technological innovation, a key element of our strategy. We are pleased to report that we reached more than 1.2 million digital customers this quarter and expect to almost double this figure by 2019.”
“Meanwhile, we continue to consolidate our position in commercial loans, maintaining a disciplined philosophy in terms of returns on risk weighted assets and applying a risk-based pricing approach in SMEs and mid-market.”
“Solid loan book expansion of 14% year-on-year together with higher interest rates since December 2015 boosted Net Interest Income by 15% year-on-year and 5% sequentially. Moreover, NIM improved 15 bps sequentially reaching 5.01% this quarter. We also reported year-on-year improvements in the NPL ratio and cost of risk. Our increased focus on return on risk weighted assets and efficiency, along with our commercial initiatives have allowed us to gain traction in profitability metrics, supporting year-on-year net income growth of 13.3%, ROAE of 13.4% and the best efficiency ratio this year.”
“We remain committed to executing strategic initiatives that will position Santander México as our customers’ primary bank and are confident in our ability to keep delivering sustainable profitable growth in the best interests of all stakeholders.”

Net income
Santander México reported net income for the quarter of Ps.3,926 million, representing YoY and QoQ increases of 13.3% and 5.9%, respectively. Net income for 9M16 increased by 12.7% to Ps.11,173 million.

3Q16 vs 3Q15
The 13.3% year-on-year increase in net income was principally driven by:
| i) | a 14.8%, or Ps.1,601 million, increase in net interest income, mainly reflecting higher interest income from the loan portfolio and the investment in securities portfolio; |
| ii) | a 23.7%, or Ps.138 million, increase in net gains on financial assets and liabilities; and |
 | 5 |
| iii) | a 1.4%, or Ps.53 million, increase in net commissions and fees. |
These contributions to net income were partially offset by:
| i) | a 9.7%, or Ps.622 million, increase in administrative and promotional expenses, mainly due to higher promotional and advertising expenses, professional fees, personnel expenses, contributions to the bank savings protection system (IPAB), resulting from a higher deposit base and other funding sources, and depreciation and amortization; |
| ii) | a 6.4%, or Ps.295 million, increase in provisions for loan losses, mainly driven by loan volume growth; |
| iii) | a 26.7%, or Ps.250 million, increase in income taxes, that resulted in a 23.2% effective tax rate in the quarter compared to 21.3% in 3Q15; and |
| iv) | a 45.5%, or Ps.148 million, decrease in other operating income, mainly due to higher provisions for legal and tax contingencies. |
9M16 vs 9M15
Net income growth of 12.7% for 9M16, is mainly explained by the following increases:
| i) | a 15.2%, or Ps.4,727 million, rise in net interest income, mainly reflecting higher interest income from investment in securities and from the loan portfolio, which resulted from higher interest rates and solid loan growth; |
| ii) | a 3.0%, or Ps.335 million, increase in net commissions and fees, mainly resulting from growth in investment funds, purchase-sale of securities and money market transactions, collections and payments, foreign trade, insurance, and credit cards; and partly offset by lower fees from financial advisory; and |
| iii) | a 5.2%, or Ps.100 million, increase in net gains on financial assets and liabilities. |
These contributions to net income were partially offset by:
| i) | a 9.1%, or Ps.1,746 million, increase in administrative and promotional expenses, mainly explained by higher salaries and employee benefits, promotional and advertising expenses, an increase in contributions to the IPAB resulting from a higher deposit base and other funding sources; followed by increases in professional fees, leaseholds and depreciation and amortization; |
| ii) | a 10.1%, or Ps.1,289 million, increase in provisions for loan losses, which reflects: i) business volume growth, with significant contributions from credit cards and payroll loans; ii) provisions in 1Q16 resulting from the exposure to some of the loans that were restructured during 2014 and were past due for 18 months, as well as other corporates that are on our watch list; and iii) higher provisions in connection with mortgages (mainly related to the change in the charge-off period, explained in 1Q16). |
| iii) | a 19.4%, or Ps.563 million, increase in tax expenses, that resulted in a 23.6% effective tax rate in 9M16 which compares with 22.6% in 9M15; and |
| iv) | a 37.9%, or Ps.255 million, decrease in other operating income, which mainly resulted from an increase inprovisions for legal and tax contingencies andportfolio recovery legal expenses and costs which were partly offset by higher recoveries of previously written-off loans. |

The 14.8% YoY increase in net interest income resulted from the combined effect of:
| i) | A 22.5%, or Ps.3,601 million, increase in interest income, to Ps.19,597 million, explained by increases of Ps.122,227 million, or 14.1%, in average interest-earning assets and 54 basis points in the average interest income rate; and |
| ii) | A 38.6%, or Ps.2,000 million, increase in interest expense, to Ps.7,186 million, resulting from increases of Ps.111,584 million, or 14.5%, in interest-bearing liabilities and 55 basis points in the average interest rate. |

 | 10 |
Interest Income
Santander México’s main source of recurring interest income comes from the loan portfolio, which in 3Q16 accounted for 76.9% of interest income and 59.0% of average interest earning assets. Interest income and average interest earning assets are comprised as follows:

*Includes commissions collected on loan origination
**Includes margin accounts
The average interest rate on interest-earning assets for 3Q16 stood at 7.75%, increasing 54 basis points from 7.21% in 3Q15.
Interest income for 3Q16 increased by 22.5%, or Ps.3,601 million, to Ps.19,597 million. On a sequential basis, interest income rose by 8.2%, or Ps.1,483 million.
The 22.5% YoY rise in interest income mainly reflects increases of:
| i) | 19.5%, or Ps.2,455 million, in interest income from our total loan portfolio and commissions on loan origination, which resulted from the combined effect of a Ps.81,368 million, or 16.2%, increase in the average loan portfolio volume, and a 26 basis points increase in the average interest rate. |
Higher average loan portfolio volume is explained by increases across all segments and products, as follows:
| § | 19.9%, or Ps.60,120 million, in the commercial portfolio, mainly reflecting increases of Ps.21,169 million, or 17.6%, Ps.17,852 million, or 16.0%, Ps.15,522 million, or 111.2% and Ps.5,410 million, or 9.5%, in mid-market, corporates, institutions and SMEs, respectively; |
| § | 9.2%, or Ps.10,554 million, in mortgages; |
| § | 12.7%, or Ps.5,265 million, in consumer loans; and |
| § | 12.3%, or Ps.5,429 million, in credit card loans. |
Growth in the average loan portfolio volume was further supported by a 26 basis point increase in the average interest rate earned on this portfolio.
Variation in the average interest rate earned is broken down as follows:
| § | A 56 basis points increase in the commercial portfolio, from 6.03% in 3Q15 to 6.59% in 3Q16. This increase mainly resulted from our prioritization of returns on risk-weighted assets and increase in the reference rate. |
 | 11 |
| § | A 33 basis points decrease in consumer loans (excluding credit cards), from 24.16% to 23.83%; |
| § | An 75 basis points increase in credit cards, from 21.61% to 22.36%, reflecting an increase from previous quarters, as a result of an improvement in the composition of our credit card portfolio, where this quarter we observed a reduction in the share of customers who pay their outstanding balances in full therefore not contributing to interest income; and |
| § | A 3 basis points increase in mortgages, from 9.50% to 9.53%. |
| ii) | 29.7%, or Ps.782 million, in interest income from our investment in securities portfolio, due to a Ps.14,013 million, or 5.4%, increase in average volume of this portfolio, further supported by a 91 basis points increase in the average interest rate earned; |
| iii) | 90.2%, or Ps.293 million, in sale and repurchase agreement transactions, which resulted from a Ps.14,206 million, or 38.0%, increase in the average volume, together with a 129 basis points increase in the average interest rate earned; |
| iv) | 14.4%, or Ps.47 million, in funds available, which resulted from the combined effect of a Ps.4,013 million, or 10.2%, decrease in the average volume, together with a 89 basis points increase in the average interest rate earned; and |
| v) | 22.9%, or Ps.24 million, in margin accounts, which resulted from a Ps.16,654 million, or 61.3%, increase the average volume together with a 36 basis points decrease in the average interest rate earned. |
Interest Expense
Santander México’s main sources of funding are customer deposits and repurchase agreements. In 3Q16 these accounted for 39.2% and 37.1% of interest expense, respectively; and 58.0% and 25.4% of average interest liabilities, respectively. Santander México’s funding structure is broken down as follows:

The average interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased 55 basis points to 3.19% in 3Q16.
Interest expense for 3Q16 increased 38.6%, or Ps.2,000 million, to Ps.7,186 million. On a sequential basis, interest expense increased by 14.1%, or Ps.889 million.
The 38.6% YoY rise in interest expense mainly reflects increases of:
 | 12 |
| i) | 37.6%, or Ps.729 million, in interest paid on sale and repurchase agreement transactions, which resulted from the combined effect of a Ps.2,494 million, or 1.1%, decrease in the average volume and a 131 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid; |
| ii) | 67.7%, or Ps.554 million, on interest paid on demand deposits, due to a Ps.87,342 million, or 34.4%, increase in the average volume together with a 31 basis point increase in the average interest rate paid; |
| iii) | 25.2%, or Ps.291 million, in term deposits, which resulted from a 80 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid, which was partially offset by a Ps.9,380 million, or 5.2%, decrease in the average volume; |
| iv) | 43.2%, or Ps.218 million, in bank and other loans, mainly due to a Ps.17,391 million, or 31.5%, increase in the average volume, together with a 33 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid; and |
| v) | 58.8%, or Ps.208 million, in credit instruments issued, which resulted from a Ps.15,715 million, or 46.8%, increase in the average volume of credit instruments issued together with a 33 basis points increase in the average interest rate paid. These increases mainly reflect the banks’ three, two and five-year debt issuances of Ps.3,000 million each in December 2015 and March 2016 respectively, and Ps.4,000 million late in June 2016. Additionally, early in September 2016 the bank issued a ten-year bond of Ps.3,000 million. Over the last months, Santander México has pursued the strategy of increasing the duration of its funding through the issuance of mid and long term debt financing, in light of the prevailing rising interest rate environment. |

The 1.4% YoY increase in net commissions and fees in 3Q16 mainly resulted from the following increases:
| i) | 34.0%, or Ps.114 million, in investment funds reflecting a better priced mix and the increase in interest rates from the Mexican Central Bank since December 2015; |
| ii) | 47.7%, or Ps.63 million in purchase-sale of securities and money market transactions; |
| iii) | 8.7%, or Ps.46 million, in collection and payments and 6.7%, or Ps.15 million, in foreign trade; mainly resulting from our continued focus on being an integral part of our client’s liquidity management efforts, which led to increased transactional activity. Santander México also maintained a strong focus on growing the foreign trade business leveraging its wide product offering and strong presence in the international business as it advises companies in their foreign trade transactions and foreign direct investments; leveraging platform improvements. |
These positive contributions to net commissions and fees, were partly offset by:
| i) | Soft growth in debit and credit cards fees, which only rose by 1.9%, or Ps.15 million. This line continues to be impacted by higher reward and issuance costs from the successful performance of the Santander-Aeromexico co-branded credit card. Fees were also impacted by peso depreciation, as some of the fees paid in connection with the credit and debit card business are dollarized. Note however that commissions and fee income on credit cards rose 18.4% reflecting higher credit card usage; |
| ii) | Flat insurance fees, reflecting good performance in our online platform for car insurance which was offset by continued soft SME demand and lower individual credit-related insurance; and |
| iii) | A 53.3%, or Ps.265 million, decrease in financial advisory fees, resulting from challenging market conditions which have slowed down the pace of execution of these transactions. |

In 3Q16, Santander México reported a Ps.721 million net gain from financial assets and liabilities, which compares with gains of Ps.583 million in 3Q15 and Ps.602 million in 2Q16.
The Ps.721 million net gain from financial assets and liabilities in the quarter is mainly explained by:
| i) | a Ps.808 million purchase-sale gain which resulted from gains of Ps.507 million, Ps.323 million, and Ps.29 million in foreign exchange instruments, debt instruments, and share instruments, respectively. Gains that were partly offset by a Ps.51 million loss in the purchase-sale result of derivatives. |
This net gain was partially offset by:
| i) | a Ps.87 million valuation loss principally related to losses of Ps.233 million and Ps.125 million in foreign exchange and debt instruments, respectively, which were partially offset by valuation gains of Ps.200 million and Ps.71 million in derivatives and share instruments, respectively. |

Other income in 3Q16 totaled Ps.177 million, down from Ps.325 million in 3Q15 and up from Ps.5 million in 2Q16.
The Ps.148 million YoY decrease in other income was mainly driven by:
| i) | a Ps.177 million decrease which resulted from the non-recurring income recognized in 3Q15 in connection with the gain from the acquisition of Scotiabank´s personal loans portfolio in 3Q15; |
| ii) | a Ps.154 million increase in provisions for legal and tax contingencies; and |
| iii) | a Ps.17 million decrease in recovery of previously written-off loans. |
These impacts to other operating income were partially offset by a Ps.124 million, or 39.2%, decrease in write-offs and bankruptcies.

 | 18 |
The 9.7% YoY rise in administrative and promotional expenses was mainly due to the following increases:
| i) | A 346.6%, or Ps.305 million, in promotional and advertising expenses, mainly reflecting higher expenses to market Santander Plus, the Aeromexico-cobranded card, as well as to market our brand at the Formula One's Mexican Grand Prix; |
| ii) | A 169.6%, or Ps.156 million, in professional fees, mainly related to IT consulting fees in connection with our ongoing technological upgrade; |
| iii) | A 4.9%, or Ps.149 million, in salaries and employee benefits; |
| iv) | An 18.5%, or Ps.105 million, in contributions to the bank savings protection system (IPAB) reflecting growth in funding sources; |
| v) | A 15.0%, or Ps.64 million, leasehold expenses; and |
| vi) | A 13.9%, or Ps.61 million, depreciation and amortization; resulting from the amortization of the IT investment plan which started last year; |
These increases were partly offset by a Ps.127 million, or 18.5% decrease in technology services.
Excluding the deposit insurance fee, expenses for the quarter increased by 8.8% YoY.
Expenses continue to reflect cost management initiatives that translate into an optimized operating structure, mitigating costs resulting from the investment in strategic businesses.
The efficiency ratio for the quarter stood at 41.3%, decreasing by 37 basis points YoY and by 142 basis points QoQ.
The recurrence ratio for 3Q16 was 58.5%, which compares to 61.9% reported in 3Q15 and 59.2% in 2Q16.
On a cumulative basis, administrative and promotional expenses amounted to Ps.20,952 million, reflecting a YoY increase of 9.1%. Excluding the deposit insurance fee, expenses increased by 8.4% YoY. Strong core earnings allowed us to improve the efficiency ratio for 9M16 by 70 basis points YoY to 42.2% from 42.9% in 9M15.

TheCommercial loan portfolio is comprised of loans to business and commercial entities, as well as loans to government entities and financial institutions, and represented 62.4% of the total loan portfolio. Excluding loans to government entities and financial institutions, the commercial loan portfolio accounted for 51.0% of the total loan portfolio.
As of 3Q16, commercial loans increased 16.5% YoY, as Santander México continues to focus on returns on risk-weighted assets and see higher competition across all segments. Mid-market loans posted a 10.3% YoY growth, while SME loans and corporate loans grew 10.7% and 38.6%, respectively. SME loans showed a slight pick-up in the growth trend after implementing a stronger focus on returns on risk weighted assets and risk-based pricing, mainly supported by effective commercial initiatives targeted to the SME2 segment which includes mid-to high SMEs. Corporate loans posted strong growth in the quarter driven by a couple of sizable transactions, which is typical in this volatile segment. Finally, loans to government and financial entities increased 8.8% YoY.
On a sequential basis, the commercial loan portfolio increased 6.4%, principally reflecting increases of 36.1%, 4.5% and 2.3% in corporates, SMEs and middle-market, respectively, while loans to government and financial entities declined 12.7%.
 | 22 |
TheIndividual loan portfoliocomprised of mortgages, consumer and credit card loans, represented 37.6% of the total loan portfolio and increased 9.7% YoY maintaining a solid growth across segments. Mortgage loans, credit card and consumer loans, represented 21.2%, 8.5% and 7.9% of the total loan portfolio, respectively.
Credit cards grew 11.4% YoY and 2.8% sequentially, mainly supported by higher usage of our full suite of credit cards and by the successful performance of the Santander-Aeromexico co-branded credit card launched last February. Consumer loans, in turn, increased 11.3% YoY and 2.2% QoQ, principally reflecting strong performance in payroll loans which rose 22.8% YoY and 3.1% QoQ, as a result of our strategy to focus on this value added proposition for our clients through the launch of the Santander Plus program last May. Finally, mortgages increased 8.5% YoY and 1.7% sequentially, driven by ongoing targeting of the middle-market and residential segments. Santander México remains focused on developing new products to target medium- and high-income individuals in the open-market, while maintaining credit standards.

Non-performing loans at the end of 3Q16 decreased YoY by Ps.1,444 million, or 7.9%, to Ps.16,908 million, and decreased by 0.2%, or Ps.28 million QoQ.
On a YoY basis, decreases of Ps.1,543 million, or 16.8%, in commercial loans and Ps.493 million in mortgages, were partly offset by an increase of Ps.592 million, or 18.1%, in consumer loans (including credit cards). On a sequential basis, Santander México reported decreases in non-performing loans of Ps.131 million, or 2.4%, in mortgages and Ps.68 million, or 0.9%, in commercial loans, together with an increase of Ps.171 million, or 4.6%, in consumer loans (including credit cards).
The YoY decrease in non-performing commercial loans mainly resulted further progress by homebuilders registered in 3Q16.
The YoY and QoQ decreases in non-performing mortgage loans, mainly resulted from an internal change in the charge-off policy for the mortgages originated at Santander Hipotecario and Santander Vivienda, which was reduced from 48 months to 36 months, following the extension made in 2015 from 12 months to 36 months for those mortgages originated at the bank, thus unifying the overall charge-off criteria in this segment. This unification of criteria will continue to be gradually implemented.
The breakdown of the non-performing loan portfolio is as follows: commercial loans 45.2%, mortgage loans 32.0% and consumer loans (including credit cards) 22.8%.

Mortgages | 4.27 | | 4.45 | | 5.06 |
Total | 2.82 | | 2.96 | | 3.49 |
The above mentioned variations to non-performing loans led to an improvement in the NPL ratio, down to 2.82% in 3Q16, decreasing by 67 basis points from 3.49% in 3Q15 and 14 basis point lower than the 2.96% reported in 2Q16.
The NPL ratio for 3Q16 continues to reflect Santander México’s exposure to homebuilders, with non-performing loans of Ps.3,079 million, as well as the impact of Santander Vivienda’s non-performing portfolio, which as of 3Q16 amounted to Ps.1,567 million.
Our total exposure to homebuilders as of 3Q16 decreased further QoQ by Ps.94 million to Ps.3,796 million, while non-performing loans also decreased by Ps.279 million to Ps.3,079 million.
Excluding the impact of the homebuilders and Santander Vivienda’s portfolio, the NPL ratio for 3Q16 would have been 2.09%. The current NPL ratio continues to reflect loan portfolio growth combined with Santander México’s stringent credit scoring model and ongoing monitoring of loan portfolio quality.

During 3Q16, provisions for loan losses amounted to Ps.4,889 million, which represented increases of Ps.295 million, or 6.4%, YoY and of Ps.378 million, or 8.4%, on a sequential basis.
The 6.4% YoY decrease in provisions mainly resulted from business volume growth, with significant contributions from credit cards and payroll loans.
Cost of risk in 3Q16 stood at 3.41%, which compares to 3.71% and 3.22% reported in 3Q15 and 2Q16, respectively.
On a cumulative basis, provisions for loan losses increased by 10.1%, or Ps.1,289 million, mainly reflecting:
| i) | significant business volume growth, with significant contributions from credit cards and payroll loans; |
| ii) | provisions in 1Q16 resulting from the exposure to some of the loans that were restructured during 2014 and were past due for 18 months, as well as other corporates that are on our watch list; and |
 | 24 |
| iii) | higher provisions in connection with mortgages (mainly related to the change in the charge-off period, explained in 2Q16). |
Cost of risk for 9M16 stood at 3.28%, which compares to 3.45% in 9M15.
The coverage ratio for the quarter improved to 119.1%, from 105.8% in 3Q15 and 114.8% in 2Q16. The YoY improvement in the coverage ratio was mainly due to lower non-performing loans in the commercial segment, mainly reflecting further improvements in negotiations with homebuilders.

TOTAL DEPOSITS
Total deposits at the end of 3Q16 amounted to Ps.542,191 million, representing an increase of 10.0% YoY and a decrease of 0.3% sequentially. Demand deposits reached Ps.376,859 million, increasing 15.6% YoY and declining 2.9% sequentially. Term deposits reached Ps.165,332 million, down 0.9 YoY but up 6.3 QoQ.
Santander México continues to implement its strategy of further enhancing customer service to meet the needs of each segment. Campaigns targeting the SMEs and middle-market segments, together with products offered to middle- and high-income clients have resulted in increases of 21.0% and 22.0% in demand deposits from individuals and SMEs, respectively.

Significant accounting policies
New accounting principles
Modifications in accounting criteria issued by the Commission
On November 25, 2015 several amendments to the accounting criteria for credit institutions were published in the Federal Official Gazette. The purpose of these amendments is to make the necessary adjustments to the accounting criteria of credit institutions for the operations they perform, in order to have reliable financial information. These amendments went into effect on January 1, 2016.
a.Accounting Criterion C-5, Consolidation of special-purpose entities, is eliminated.
b. The following are added as part of the accounting criteria of the Commission: Norma de Información Financiera (NIF) C-18,Obligations associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment, and NIF C-21,Agreements with joint control,due to the enactment of such standards by the Consejo Mexicano de Normas de Información Financiera, A.C. (CINIF).
c.For the consolidated financial statements, it is established that those special-purpose entities (SPE) created before January 1, 2009 in which control was maintained, will not be required to apply the provisions contained in NIF B-8,Consolidated or combined financial statements, in relation to their consolidation.
d. It is established that overdrafts on checking accounts of customers who do not have a credit line for such purposes, will be classified as overdue debts and at the same time as such classification an estimate must be established for the total amount of such overdraft at the time this occurs.
e.It is established that the net asset for defined benefits to employees must be presented on the balance sheet under the heading of “Other assets”.
f.It is specified that the applicable regulation must be applied according to that set forth by Banco de México to include the purchase of foreign currencies which are not considered derivatives, as “Funds available”.
g. It is established that if the balance of foreign currencies to be received offset with foreign currencies to be delivered should reach a negative balance, such item must be presented under the heading of “Other payables”.
h. It is established that if any item of restricted funds available should reach a negative balance, such item must be presented under the heading “Other payables”. Previously, restricted funds available were not considered for such presentation.
i. The definition of “Transaction costs” in Accounting Criterion B-2,Investments in securities and in Accounting Criterion B-5,Derivatives and hedge operations,is modified.
j. The definitions of “Borrower”, “Appraisal Percentage Guarantees”, “Payment capacity”, “Extended Portfolio”, “Assignment of Credit Rights”, “Consolidation of Credits”, “Debtor of Credit Rights”, “Vendor of Discounted Receivables”, “Financial Factoring”, “Purchaser of Discounted Receivables”, “Line of Credit”, “Discount Transaction”, “Special Repayment Regime”, “Ordinary Repayment Regime” and “Housing Subaccount”, are incorporated into Accounting Criterion B-6,Loan Portfolio
k.The definition of “Renewal” is modified in Accounting Criterion B-6,Loan Portfolio,to now consider it as that transaction in which the loan balance is settled partially or totally, through an increase in the total amount of the loan, or using the proceeds derived from another loan contracted with the same entity, involving either the same debtor, a joint obligor of such debtor, or another person who, due to his asset ties, represents common risks.
 | 45 |
l. “Mortgage Loans” are defined as those credits intended for remodeling or improvement of the home which are backed by the savings in the borrower’s housing subaccount, or have a security interest granted by a development bank or a public trust established by the Federal Government for economic development.
m. Loans for financial factoring, discount and credit right assignment operations are incorporated in the definition of “Commercial Loans”.
n.It is clarified that a loan will not be considered as renewed for any dispositions made during the effective term of a pre-established line of credit, provided that the borrower has settled the total amount of the payments which are due and payable under the original loan conditions.
o. It is established that when credit dispositions made under a line of credit are restructured or renewed independently from the line of credit which supports them, they must be assessed in accordance with the characteristics and conditions applicable to the restructured or renewed disposition or dispositions.
When as a result of such evaluation it is concluded that one or more dispositions granted under a line of credit should be transferred to overdue portfolio due to the effect of their restructuring or renewal and such dispositions, individually or collectively, represent at least 40 of the total disposed balance of the line of credit at the date of the restructuring or renewal, such balance, as well as its subsequent dispositions, must be transferred to overdue portfolio as long as there is no evidence of sustained payment of the dispositions which originated the transfer to overdue portfolio, and the total dispositions granted under the line of credit fulfilled the due and payable obligations at the date of transfer to current portfolio.
The aforementioned percentage is applicable as of January 1, 2016, and will be reduced to 30 for the year 2017, and 25 for the year 2018 and thereafter.
p.It is established that in the case of loans acquired from INFONAVIT or the FOVISSSTE, where there is an obligation to respect the terms which the aforementioned agencies contracted with the borrowers, sustained payment of the loan is deemed to exist when the borrower has timely settled the total due and payable amount of principal and interest, of at least one repayment in the credits under the Ordinary Repayment Regime (ROA) and three repayments for the loans under the Special Repayment Scheme (REA).
q. It is stipulated that for restructurings of loans with periodic payments of principal and interest whose repayments are less than or equal to 60 days in which the periodicity of payment is modified to shorter periods, the number of repayments equivalent to three consecutive repayments under the original loan payment scheme must be considered.
r. The assumptions are established to consider that sustained payment exists for those loans with a single payment of principal at maturity, regardless of whether the payment of interest is periodic or at maturity, as follows:
i. The borrower must have paid at least 20 of the original loan amount at the time of the restructuring or renewal, or,
ii. The amount of the accrued interest must have been paid in accordance with the payment scheme for the respective restructuring or renewal at a term of 90 days.
s.With regard to consolidated loans, if two or more loans originated the transfer to overdue portfolio of the total balance of the consolidated loan, to determine the repayments required to consider their sustained payment, the original loan payment scheme whose repayments are equal to the longest repayment period must be considered. Previously the practice was to give the treatment for the worst of the credits to the total balance of the restructuring or renewal.
 | 46 |
t. It is established that evidence must be made available to the Commission when demonstrating sustained payment to substantiate that the borrower has the appropriate payment capacity at the time the restructuring or renewal is performed, so as to meet the new loan conditions.
u.It is clarified that the advance payment of installments of restructured or renewed loans, different from those with a single payment of principal at maturity, regardless of whether the interest is paid periodically or at maturity, is not considered to be sustained payment. This is the case with repayments of restructured or renewed loans which are paid before the calendar day’s equivalent to loans with repayments that cover periods greater than 60 calendar days have elapsed.
v.The extension of the loan term is incorporated as a restructuring situation.
w. The respective standards for the recognition and valuation of financial factoring, discounting and credit right assignment transactions are included.
x.It is established that commissions and fees different from those collected for granting the credit will be recognized in results of the year on the date that they are accrued, and if part or all of the consideration received for the collection of the respective commission or fee is received before the accrual of the respective income, such advance must be recognized as a liability.
y.The item stating that overdrafts in customer checking accounts should be reported as overdue portfolio is eliminated.
z. It is established that repayments which have not been fully settled under the terms originally agreed and are 90 days or more in arrears with the payments related to the loans which the entity acquired from the INFONAVIT or the FOVISSSTE, in accordance with the respective REA or ROA payment modality, as well as the loans made to individuals for the remodeling or improvement of the home for no speculative purposes which are backed by the savings from the borrower’s housing subaccount, will be considered as overdue portfolio.
aa.The transfer to overdue portfolio of the loans referred to in the preceding point will be subject to the exceptional deadline of 180 or more days in arrears as of the date on which:
i.The loan resources are disposed of for the purpose for which they were granted,
ii.The borrower begins a new employment relationship in which he has a new employer, or
iii. The partial payment of the respective repayment was received. The exception contained in this subsection will be applicable provided that it refers to credits under the ROA scheme, and each of the payments made during such period represents at least 5 of the repayment agreement.
bb.It is specified that loans with a single payment of principal at maturity, regardless of whether the interest is paid periodically or at maturity, will be considered as overdue portfolio as long as there is no evidence of sustained payment.
cc. It will be considered that loans granted under a new line of credit, revolving or not, which are restructured or renewed at any time, may remain in current portfolio provided that there are grounds to justify the payment capacity of the debtor. Furthermore, the borrower must have:
i.Settled the total amount of due and payable interest;
ii.Settled all of the payments for which he is liable under the terms of the contract at the date of the restructuring or renewal.
dd. Additionally, with respect to loans granted under a given line of credit, they shall be evaluated taking into account the characteristics and conditions applicable to restructured or renewed loans whenever such restructuring or renewal is made independently from the line of credit to which they are related.
 | 47 |
If such evaluation concludes that one or more of the loans granted under a line of credit should be transferred to the overdue portfolio as a result of the restructuring or renewal, and if such loans represent, individually or in the aggregate, at least 25 of the total outstanding amount of the line of credit at the date of the restructuring or renewal, the outstanding amount, as well as any subsequent loans granted, shall be transferred to the overdue account until there are no evidences of sustained payment of the loans that led to the transfer to the overdue portfolio, and that all loans given under the line of credit have complied with the required obligations as of the date of the transfer to the current portfolio.
ee.The requirement that the borrower must have paid the total amount of the interest accrued at the date of renewal or restructuring to consider that a loan remains current will be considered as fulfilled, when after the interest accrued at the final cutoff date has been paid, the term elapsed between such date and the restructuring or renewal does not exceed the lower of half of the payment period under way or 90 days.
ff.Current loans with periodic partial payments of principal and interest which are restructured or renewed more than once may remain in current portfolio if there are elements to justify the payment capacity of the debtor. It is specified that in the case of commercial loans, such elements must be duly documented and placed in the loan file.
gg. If different loans granted by the same entity to the same borrower are consolidated in a restructuring or renewal, each of the consolidated loans must be analyzed as if they were restructured or renewed separately and, if as a result of such analysis it is concluded that one or more of such loans would have been transferred to overdue portfolio due to the effect of such restructuring or renewal, then the total balance of the consolidated loan must be transferred to overdue portfolio.
hh. With regard to presentation standards in the balance sheet and the statement of income, it is established that:
i.Housing loans acquired from the INFONAVIT or the FOVISSSTE must be segregated inside the current portfolio, into ordinary portfolio and extended portfolio.
ii.It is specified that the amount of loans for financial factoring, discount and credit rights assignment transactions will be presented net of the respective appraisal percentage guarantee.
iii. Any commissions received before the accrual of the respective revenue will be presented under the heading of “Deferred credits and advance collections”.
iv.The financial revenue accrued in the financial factoring, discount and credit rights assignment transactions will be considered as interest income.
ii.With regard to disclosure standards, new requirements are incorporated such as:
i. Breakdown of the restricted current portfolio and unrestricted and overdue portfolio for the media and residential portfolio, low income portfolio, remodeling or improvement secured by the housing subaccount and loans acquired from the INFONAVIT or the FOVISSSTE, segregated into ordinary portfolio and extended portfolio.
ii.Total amount and number of loans acquired from the INFONAVIT or the FOVISSSTE transferred to overdue portfolio, as well as the total amount of loans that were not transferred to overdue portfolio, segregated into loans that the entity acquired from the INFONAVIT or the FOVISSSTE, in accordance with the respective REA or ROA payment modality, and loans granted to individuals for remodeling or improving the home for no speculative purposes, which are backed by the savings of the borrower’s housing subaccount.
iii. Principal characteristics of the loans acquired from the INFONAVIT or the FOVISSSTE, describing at least those related to their classification as extended portfolio, ROA and REA, together with those related to the assignment of such credits.
 | 48 |
iv. Description of the obligation and rights held by the INFONAVIT and FOVISSSTE in relation to the portfolio acquired by the entity.
v. Identification by type of loan for the medium and residential portfolio, low income portfolio, remodeling or improvement guaranteed by the housing subaccount, and loans acquired from the INFONAVIT or FOVISSSTE of the balance of the overdue portfolio as of the date on which it was classified as such, in the following terms: from 1 to 180 calendar days, from 181 to 365 calendar days, from 366 calendar days to two years, and more than two years in overdue portfolio.
vi. Total amount of housing loans backed by the housing subaccount, broken down into current and overdue portfolio and specifying the percentage which it represents of the total housing loans.
vii. Total accumulated amount of the restructuring or renewal by type of loan, differentiating that originated in the exercise of those consolidated loans transferred to overdue portfolio as of result of a restructuring or renewal, from those restructured loans to which the criteria for the transfer to overdue portfolio were not applied.
jj.It is established in Accounting Criterion B-7,Foreclosed assets, that in the case of assets whose valuation to determine fair value may be made through an appraisal, the latter must comply with the requirements established by the Commission for providers of bank appraisal services.
kk. It is clarified in Accounting Criterion C-2,Securitization transactions, that in the case of stock market instruments executed and recognized in the consolidated financial statement prior to January 1, 2009, it will not be necessary to reevaluate the transfer of recognized financial assets prior to such date.
In this regard, the principal effects that this exception might have on such financial statements should be disclosed in notes to the financial statements, as well as the effects of recognition of the adjustments for valuation of the profits on the remnant of the assignee (recognized in results or in stockholders’ equity) and of the asset or liability recognized for administration of transferred financial assets.
ll. The definition of “Agreement with Joint Control”, “Joint Control” is incorporated, and the definition of “Associated Company”, “Control” “Holding Company”, “Significant Influence”, “Related Parties” and “Subsidiary” is modified in Accounting Criterion C-3, Related parties.
mm. Individuals or business entities which, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries exert significant influence on, are significantly influenced by, or are under significant influence of the entity, as well as agreements with joint control in which the entity participates, are now considered to be related parties.
nn.The disclosure requirements contained in Accounting Criterion C-3, Related parties, are extended to agreements with joint control.
oo. As an amendment to Accounting Criterion C-4,Information by segments, the purchase and sale of foreign currency is incorporated within the segment of Treasury and investment banking operations.
pp.Different modifications are made to the presentation of the balance sheet to incorporate the opening of the current and overdue home loan portfolio in the following segments: medium and residential, low income, loans acquired from the INFONAVIT or FOVISSSTE, and remodeling and improvement with collateral granted by the development bank or public trusts.

NIF issued by the CINIF applicable to the Financial Group
New NIF D-3, Employee Benefits
At January 2015, the CINIF issued several amendments to NIF D-3,Employee Benefits.
These amendments came into effect from at January 1, 2016.
The principal modifications derived from the application of this new NIF D-3 in Santander México’s financial information are as follows:
· Discount rate for liabilities - Defined Benefits Obligation (DBO)
-The discount rate to calculate the DBO will be determined by taking the market rate of high-quality corporate bonds, provided that there is a deep market for such bonds. Otherwise, the market rate of the bonds issued by the federal government must be taken.
· Recognition of actuarial gains and losses
- The use of the “corridor” approach is eliminated for the deferral of actuarial gains and losses.
-The accumulated balance of retained earnings and accumulated losses as of December 31, 2015 will be recognized as part of stockholders’ equity and in liabilities as of January 1, 2016.
- Any actuarial gains and losses generated as of January 1, 2016 will be treated as re-measurements for defined benefits to employees, and will be recognized in stockholders’ equity and in liabilities.
· Amortization of actuarial gains and losses
- The actuarial gains and losses recognized in stockholders’ equity must be recycled to results in the Remaining Useful Life of the Plan.
·Expected return on plan assets
-The expected return on the plan assets will be estimated with the discount rate of the liabilities instead of the expected rate of return for the fund.
Due to the enactment of the NIF D-3, on December 31, 2015 the Commission issued different transitory articles to the “Resolution amending the General provisions applicable to credit institutions”, published in the Federal Official Gazette on November 9, 2015.
These transitory articles establish that credit institutions may recognize the entire balance of plan amendments (past service) and the accumulated balance of the plan’s actuarial gains and losses not recognized for entities which used “corridor” approach progressively at the latest on December 31 of each year.
 | 50 |
If the option is taking to progressively apply the aforementioned balances, the recognition of such balances should begin in the year 2016, recognizing 20 in that year and another 20 in each of the subsequent years, until reaching 100 within a maximum term of five years. Credit institutions which elect to apply this option must report their decision to the Commission at the latest by January 31, 2016.
The re-measurements of gains and losses from the defined benefits plan which should be recognized at the end of each period, together with their respective recycling to results of the year, should be calculated on the total amount of the plan’s gains or losses; i.e., on the aggregate of the plan’s actuarial gains or losses, plus those not recognized on the balance sheet of the credit institutions.
By the same token, if all or part of the remnant effect is recognized before the established deadlines, the Commission must be informed within the 30 calendar days following the date on which the respective accounting record is made. The entities may perform such recognition in advance, provided that at least 20 or the total remnant is recognized in the respective year.
The Financial Group has selected the progressive recognition of the balance of the plan amendments (past service) and the cumulated balance of the plan’s actuarial gains and losses not recognized according to the aforementioned paragraphs. This decision was informed to the Commission on January 26, 2016.
In this regard, the initial effect that the application of the NIF D-3 in subsequent years due to the accumulated balance of actuarial losses not recognized as of December 31, 2015 is $2,771 million. This balance will be recognized within Earned capital under the heading of “Re-measurements for employee defined benefits” as of the year 2016, recognizing 20 of the accumulated balance in such year and an additional 20 in each of the subsequent years until reaching 100 over a maximum five-year period.
Furthermore, this accumulated balance of actuarial losses not recognized as of December 31, 2015 will be recycled to results during the Useful Life of the Plan, which fluctuates between 9.5 and 14 years depending on the respective benefit.
During the third quarter of 2016, Santander México has not made any accounting recognition of the option used.
If the option was not applied as indicated above, Santander México had recognized and presented in the consolidated balance sheet an increase in "Provision for employee benefits" and a decrease in Earned capital under the heading of “Re-measurements for employee defined benefits” for an amount of $ 2.771 million.
NIF and Interpretations of the NIF (INIF) Enacted
The CINIF has issued the following NIFs and INIF applicable to the Financial Group:
a.Effective as of January 1, 2016:
INIF 21,Recognition of payments for employee separation
b. Effective as of January 1, 2018:
NIF C-9,Provisions, contingencies and commitments
Improvements to NIF 2016 applicable to the Financial Group
The following improvements were issued, effective January 1, 2016, which generate accounting changes:
NIF B-7,Business acquisitions – Clarifies that the acquisition and/or merger of entities under common control, and the acquisition of noncontrolling equity or the sale without losing control of the subsidiary, are outside the scope of this NIF, regardless of how the amount of the consideration was determined.
 | 51 |
NIF C-7,Investments in associates, joint ventures and other permanent investments –Establishes that contributions in kind should be recognized at the fair value that was negotiated between owners or shareholders, unless they are the result of debt capitalization, in which case they should be recognized for the capitalized amount.
Special Accounting Criteria applicable in 2016
Pursuant to the decline in oil prices and the accounts payable to their SMEs suppliers and the effects on individuals living in the affected geographical areas (which have the main source in oil revenues), by memorandum number P-021/2016 dated May 2, 2016, the CNBV approved the application of special accounting methods to credit institutions, in effect until December 31, 2016, which allow to exempt from consideration as restructured credits and non-performing loans in terms of the Annex 33 B-6 of the Sole Circular for Credit Institutions, the restructured and/or renewed operations for customers in the affected geographical areas. As of September 30, 2016, the Financial Group only have two consumers loans of Ps.261,000, without having seen benefits in non-performing loans, provisions or equity.
Changes in accounting estimates applicable in 2016
Methodology to determine the loan loss provisions of consumer loan portfolios related to credit cards transactions and other revolving loans.
On December 16, 2015 the CNBV issued amendments to the Dispositions enacted to credit institutions that modified the methodology applicable for rating of the consumer loan portfolios related to credit card transactions and other revolving loans, with the aim of calculating more precisely the loan loss provisions considering the possible risks related to the payment behavior and debt capacity of their customers. Those amendments are consistent with the expected loss model which is the base of the methodology for rating of the loan portfolio, seeking the adequate solvency and stability of the credit institutions.
Such amendments entered into force April 1, 2016 and established that the credit institutions must have constituted 100 per cent of the amount of the loan loss provisions of consumer loans related to credit card transactions as a result of the application to the aforementioned methodology no later than six months after its entrance into force date.
As of September 30, 2016, the Financial Group have no constituted the amount of the loan loss provisions of consumer loans related to credit card transactions accordingly.

11 | Result from assessment of cash flow hedging instruments corresponding to hedged entries that are not assessed at reasonable value. |
12* | Reserves pending constitution pursuant to the provisions of fraction I item k) of Article 2 Bis 6 hereof. |

This treatment is more conservative than the one established by the Committee on Banking Basel Supervision in its document " Basel III : A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems " published in June 2011 because the deduction for this concept is made of common equity tier 1 capital , regardless of the level of capital which has been invested |

The previous investments exclude those made in development and promotion multilateral organizations of an international nature that have a credit Qualification assigned by any of the issuer's Qualifying institutions, equal or greater than long term Risk Degree 2. |
This is a more conservative approach to the one established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in its documents "Basel III: Global regulatory framework for the reinforcement of banks and banking systems" published on June 2011 given that the deduction for this concept is made from level 1 common stock, irrespective of the level of capital where it has been investment, and additionally because the aggregate amount registered of investments is deducted. |

24. Integral Risk Management (unaudited) |
Risk management is considered by Grupo Financiero Santander as a competitive element of strategic nature with the purpose of maximizing the value for the stockholder. This management is defined, from a conceptual and organizational sense, as a comprehensive management of the different risks (market risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, operative risk, legal risk and technological risk) assumed by Grupo Financiero Santander for the development of its activities. The management of the risk inherent to transactions is essential for understanding and determining the behavior of the financial condition of Grupo Financiero Santander and the creation of long-term value.
In order to comply with the provisions regarding the Comprehensive Risk management applicable to credit institutions, issued by the National Banking and Exchange Commission, the Board of Directors agreed to create the Comprehensive Risk Management Committee of Grupo Financiero Santander, to work pursuant to the rules set by such regulations. This Committee gathers every month and verifies that the transactions are according to the objectives, policies and procedures approved by the Board of Directors for the Comprehensive Risk Management.
The Comprehensive Risk management Committee delegates in the Comprehensive Risk Management Unit the responsibility for the implementation of procedures for the measure, administration and control of risks according to the applicable policies; such Unit has the faculty to authorize amounts greater than the stipulated limits and in such cases, the Board of Directors shall be informed on such deviations.
Market Risk
The Market Risk Management department of the Comprehensive Risk management Unit is responsible for recommending the policies on market risk management of Grupo Financiero Santander, and to establish the parameters for risk measuring, and to provide reports, analysis and assessments to the senior management, to the Comprehensive Risk management Committee and to the Board of Directors.
The market risk management is to identify measure, monitor and control risks arising from fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, prices and other market risk factors in currency, money, capital and derivative markets that are exposed the positions that belong to Grupo Financiero Santander.
The market risk measurement quantifies the potential variation in the value of the positions as a consequence of changes in the market risk factors.
Depending on the nature of the activities of each business unit, debt and capital instruments are registered as securities for trade, securities available for sale and or securities held to maturity. The main characteristic that identifies securities available for sale is their permanent nature and they are managed as an structural part of the balance sheet. Grupo Financiero Santander has established provisions that all securities available for sale must fulfill, as well as adequate controls for the compliance of such provisions.
Whenever significant risks are identified, they are measured and limits are allocated in order to assure an adequate control. Global measurement of risk is carried out via a combination of the methodology applied to Portfolios for Trade and to the management of Assets and Liabilities.
Trading Books
In order to measure the risk in a global approach, the methodology of Value at Risk (“VaR”) is used. VaR is defined as the statistical estimate of the potential loss of value of a given position, during certain period and at certain confidence level. VaR provides a universal measure of the level of exposure of the different risk portfolios; it allows the comparison of the risk level assumed in different securities and markets and expresses the level of each portfolio through a unique figure in economic units.
VaR is calculated via historical simulation, with a 521 working-days window (520 percentage changes) and a one-day horizon. The calculation is performed from a series of simulated gains and losses with 1% percentile at constant pesos and with pesos decreasing on an exponential basis, with a decrease factor that is reviewed on annual basis, the most conservative measure is the one to be reported. A confidence level of 99% is assumed.
Note that the historical simulation model is limiting to assume that the recent past represent the near future.

Likewise, monthly simulations of gains or losses of portfolios are carried out by revaluating such portfolios under different scenarios (Stress Test). Such estimates are generated using two different methods:
§Applying to risk factors the percentage changes observed in certain periods including relevant market turbulences.
§Applying to risk factors changes that depend on the volatility of each risk factor.
On a monthly basis “back testing” is carried out to compare daily gains and losses that would have been observed is the same positions had been maintained, taking into account only the change in value at risk in order to be able to fine tune the models. Even though these reports are prepared on a monthly basis, they include daily tests.
Assets and Liabilities Management
Commercial banking activities of Grupo Financiero Santander generate important balance sheet amounts. The Assets and Liabilities Committee (“ALCO”) is responsible for determining the guidelines for the management of financial margin risk, net worth value and liquidity that must be followed by the different commercial portfolios. Pursuant to this approach, the General Direction of Finances has the responsibility to execute the strategies defined by the Assets and Liabilities Committee in order to modify the risk profile of the commercial portfolio by following the corresponding policies. Compliance with information requirements for interest rate, Exchange rate and liquidity risks is fundamental.
As part of the financial management of Grupo Financiero Santander, sensitivity to Net Interest Income (“NIM”) and Market Value of Equity (“MVE”) of the different balance sheet items is analyzed in comparison to variations in interest rates. This sensitivity is derived from the difference between maturity dates of assets and liabilities and the dates interest rates are
 | 93 |
modified. The analysis is performed from the classification of each item sensitive to interest rate throughout time, according to their repayment, maturity or contractual modification of the applicable interest rate.
| Sensitivity NIM | | Sensitivity MVE |
Bank and Brokerage | Jul-16 | Aug-16 | Sep-16 | Average | | Jul-16 | Aug-16 | Sep-16 | Average |
Balance MXN GAP | 48% | 65% | 64% | 59% | | 55% | 50% | 47% | 51% |
Scenario | (100) bp | (100) bp | (100) bp | N/A | | +100 bp | +100 bp | +100 bp | N/A |
Balance USD GAP | 52% | 35% | 31% | 39% | | 97% | 97% | 100% | 98% |
Scenario | (100) bp | (100) bp | (100) bp | N/A | | (100) bp | (100) bp | (100) bp | N/A |
Using simulation techniques, the predictable change of the net interest income and the market value of equity are measured in different interest rate scenarios, and their sensitivity under extreme movement of such scenarios, as of the end of the third quarter of 2016:
MM MXN | Sensitivity NIM | | Sensitivity MVE |
Bank and Brokerage | Scenario | Total | Derivatives | Non Derivatives | | Scenario | Total | Derivatives | Non Derivatives |
Balance MXN GAP | (100) bp | (964) | (377) | (587) | | +100 bp | (2,504) | 412 | (2,916) |
Balance USD GAP | (100) bp | (122) | 291 | (412) | | (100) bp | (675) | 680 | (1,355) |
The Assets and Liabilities Committee adopts investment and hedging strategies in order to maintain such sensitivities within the target range.
Limits
Limits are used to control global risk of the financial group derived from each portfolio and books. The structure of limits is used to control exposures and to establish the total risk authorized to business units. These limits are established for VaR, Loss alert, maximum loss, equivalent volume of interest rate, delta equivalent in equity, open foreign currency positions, sensitivity of net interest income and sensitivity of market value of equity.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is related to the ability of Grupo Financiero Santander to finance acquired commitments at reasonable market prices, as well as to fulfill business plans with stable financing sources. Risk factors may be external (liquidity crisis) and internal due to excessive concentration of maturities.
Grupo Financiero Santander carries out a coordinated management of maturities of assets and liabilities, and oversees the maximum timing difference profiles. This monitoring is based in the analysis of maturities of assets and liabilities, both contractual and managerial. Grupo Financiero Santander realizes a control for the maintenance of a sufficient quantity of liquid assets to guarantee a horizon of survival during a minimum of days facing a scene of stress of liquidity without resorting to additional financing sources. The risk of Liquidity is limited in terms of a minimal period of days established for local, foreign and consolidated currencies. It is necessary to indicate that in the fourth quarter incidents have not been had in the metrics.

Credit Risk
Management of credit risk of Grupo Financiero Santander is developed differently for the different segments of clients along the three phases of the credit process: acceptance, follow-up and recovery.
From a global perspective, management of credit risk in Grupo Financiero Santander is responsible for the identification, measurement, integration and assessment of the aggregated risk and the profitability according to such risk; with the purpose of oversee the levels of risk concentration and to adapt them to the limits and objectives previously established.
 | 94 |
Risks receiving an individual treatment (risks with companies, Grupo Financiero Santander and financial entities) are identified and taken apart from those other risk that are managed in standardized manner (consumer and mortgages credits to individuals, loans to businesses and small enterprises).
Risks managed on individual basis are subject to a solvency or rating system with a related probability of failure that allows the measuring of the risk for each client and for each transaction from the beginning. The assessment of the client, after analyzing other relevant risk factors in different areas, is adjusted according to the special characteristics of the transaction (guarantee, term, etc.,)
Standardized risks require, due to their special characteristics (great number of transactions for relatively low amounts), a different management that allows an efficient process and effective use of resources, so automated decision tools are used (expert and credit scoring systems).
Management of loans to companies is complemented, during the follow-up phase, with the so called “system of special monitoring” that determines the policy to be followed in the management of the risks with companies or groups rated within such category. Different situations of levels of monitoring are identified and generate different actions. A special monitoring grade is given in the case of alert signals, systematic reviews, or specific initiatives promoted by the Risks Department or Internal Audit.
Recovery Units constitute a critical element in the management of irregular risk, in order to minimize the final loss for Grupo Financiero Santander. These units are responsible for a specialized management of the risk from the moment they are classified as irregular risk loans (defaulting payment).
Grupo Financiero Santander has carried out a policy for the selective growth of risk and a strict treatment of late payments and the creation of the corresponding provisions, based in the prudent criteria defined by the Group.
Probability of Default and Expected Losses
Pursuant to the provisions on Comprehensive Risk Management included in the general regulations applicable to credit institutions, as part of the credit risk management, credit institutions must determine the probability of default.
The system allows the calculation of the probability for the different loans portfolios.
a. The probability of failure is for “No Retail” portfolios. It is determined via the fine tune of the ratings of clients in a given moment, based in the Monthly Default Rates observed during a period of five years. Such Default Rates are adjusted to an economic cycle of ten years. For “Retail” portfolios, the standard default probabilities set by the Basilea Convention are used.
b. Once the probability of default is determined, the parameters of “severity of Loss” (“LGD”) and “Exposure at Default” (“EAD”) stipulated in Basilea, are taken into consideration.
Once the abovementioned factors are obtained, the Expected Loss (“PE”) is calculated as follows:
Expected Loss = Probability of Default x Severity of Loss x Exposure at Default
i.e.:PE = PD * LGD * EAD
Counterparty Risk
Included in the credit risk, there is a concept that, due to its characteristics, it requires a special management: the Counterparty Risk.
Counterparty Risk is the risk Grupo Financiero Santander assumes with governmental entities, financial institutions, corporations, companies and individuals in their treasury activities and correspondent bank activities. The measurement and control of the Credit Risk in Financial Instruments, Counterparty Risk, is carried out by a special unit with an organizational structure independent from the business areas.
The control of Counterparty Risk is performed daily via theInteractive Risk Integrated System (“IRIS”), which informs the credit line available with any counterparty, in any product and any term.
For the control of the counterparty lines, the Equivalent Credit Risk (“REC”) is used. REC is an estimate of the amount Grupo Financiero Santander may lose in current transactions with certain counterparty, if such counterparty commits a default in any moment until the maturity date of transactions. REC takes into account the Current Credit Exposure,
 | 95 |
which is defined as the cost to substitute the transaction at market value provided that this value is positive for Grupo Financiero Santander, and it is measured as the market value of the transaction (“MtM”). In addition, REC includes the Potential Credit Exposure or Potential Additional Risk (“RPA”), which represents the possible evolution of the current credit exposure until maturity, given the characteristics of the transaction and the possible variations in the market factors. The REC Gross considers definitions described above, without considering mitigating by netting or by mitigating collateral.
For the calculation of REC, mitigating factors of the counterparty credit risk are taken into consideration, such as collaterals, netting agreements, among other. The methodology continues to be effective.
In addition to the Counterparty Risk, there is the Settlement Risk, which is present in every transaction at its maturity date, when the possibility that the counterparty does not comply with its payment obligations arises, once Grupo Financiero Santander has complied with its obligations by issuing payment directions.
For the process of control for this risk, the Deputy General Direction of Financial Risks oversees on a daily basis the compliance with the limits on counterparty credit risks by product, term and other conditions stipulated in the authorization for financial markets. Likewise, it is the responsible for communicating on a daily bases, the limits, consumptions and any incurred deviation or excess.
On a monthly basis, a report is presented to the Comprehensive Risk Management Committee, with respect to the limits to Counterparty Risks, Issuer Risks and current consumptions. In addition, on a monthly basis, a report is presented to the Global Banking Credit Committee and Retail Credit Committee with respect to incurred excesses and transactions with non authorized customers. In addition, it informs to the Comprehensive Risk Management Committee the calculation of the Expected Loss for current transactions in financial markets at the closing of every month and different scenarios of stress of Expected Loss. All of the above according to the methodologies and assumptions approved by the Comprehensive Risk Management Committee.
Currently, we have approved lines of Counterparty Risks in Grupo Financiero Santander for the following segments: Mexican Sovereign Risk and Domestic Development Banking, Foreign Financial Institutions, Mexican Financial Institutions, Corporations, Companies Banking-SGC, Institutional Banking, Large Enterprises Unit, Project Finance.
Equivalent Net Credit Risk of the lines of Counterparty Risk and Issuer Risk of Grupo Financiero Santander for the third quarter of 2016:

The Expected Loss of Grupo Financiero Santander at the end of the third quarter of 2016, and the quarterly average of the expected loss of the lines of Counterparty risk and issuer risk of Grupo Financiero Santander, for the third quarter of 2016 are:
| Expected Loss (millions of American dollars) |
Segment | jul-16 | aug-16 | sep-16 | Average |
Sovereign Risk, Development Banking and Financial Institutions | 10.67 | 10.94 | 10.98 | 10.86 |
Corporates | 2.29 | 3.21 | 3.08 | 2.86 |
Companies | 2.88 | 2.85 | 2.73 | 2.82 |
The segments of Mexican Financial Institutions and Foreign Financial Institutions are very active counterparties with whom Grupo Financiero Santander has current positions of financial instruments with Counterparty Credit Risk. It is important to mention that Equivalent Credit Risk is mitigated by netting agreements (ISDA-CMOF) and, in some cases, by collateral agreements (CSA-CGAR) or revaluation agreements with counterparties.
Respect to total collateral received for derivatives transactions as of the end of the third quarter of 2016:
Cash collateral | 77.26% |
Collateral refer to bonds issued by the Mexican Federal Government | 22.74% |
In respect to collateral management in derivatives transactions, counterparty’s positions are valuated according to the frequency established at each collateral agreement. In addition, all credit risk parameters, established at each collateral agreement are considered to obtain the amount of collateral to be delivered or to be received from the counterparty. These amounts, margin calls, will be requested from the counterparty which has the right to receive the collateral, according to the frequency established at the collateral agreement.
The counterparty which receives the margin call, has the right to analyze the valuation and it could result on discrepancies to solve.
In respect to the correlation between the collateral and the counterparty in derivatives transactions, the Institution confirms that, at this time, the eligible collateral consists on government bonds and cash collateral, so as a result, there are no adverse effects due to correlation between the counterparty and the collateral.
In the hypothetical stressed scenario, assuming that the Institution’s credit rating decreases and the impact of this credit rating decrease on the collateral that the Institution would have to deliver, this stressed test confirms that there would not be significant impact; a few of the Thresholds established on the Institution’s collateral agreements are dependent on the Institution’s credit rating.
Legal Risk
Legal Risk is defined as the potential loss due to the failure to comply with the applicable legal and administrative regulations, the issue of administrative and judicial resolutions against Grupo Financiero Santander and the application of fines, with respect to the transactions carried out by Grupo Financiero Santander.
Pursuant to the provisions regarding the Comprehensive Risk Management, the following activities are performed: a) Establishment of policies and procedures for analyzing the legal validity and the proper execution of the legal acts. b) estimates of the amount of potential losses derived from judicial or administrative orders against Grupo Financiero Santander and the possible application of fines c) Analysis of the legal acts governed by a legal system different to the Mexican laws, d) communication to directors and employees on the legal and administrative regulations applicable to transactions and e) the performance, at least on annual basis, of internal legal audits.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events.
The main objective is to avoid or reduce the impact of Operational Risk, through the identification, monitoring and control of the factors that trigger the events of potential loss. Therefore it also requires to establish policies and procedures to operate under the risk exposure that the Bank is willing to accept.
The sound management of risk involves the heads of each Business Unit on the management tools and results; as well as a continuous training to the staff. The pillars on which the operational risks are managed are:
| a) | Strategic planning and budget: Required activities to define the operational risk profile for Santander Mexico; this includes: |
| · | Risk appetite, defined as the level of risk that the Bank is willing to accept |
 | 97 |
| · | Loss annual budget; ensuring the overview of real losses according to the budget and the deviations, challenging the controls and extenuation measures. |
| b) | Identify, measure and evaluation of the Operational risk; identify risks and the factors that trigger them in the Bank, and estimate the qualitative or/and quantitative impact. |
| c) | Monitoring; The Overview and monitoring of operational risk goal for periodic analysis of available information of risk (type and level) during the normal development of the activities. |
| d) | Extenuation (Mitigation); once the Operational Risk has been assessed, it is required to establish actions to avoid the risk or to mitigate the impact for risk that materialize. |
| e) | Reporting: the Operational Risk profile and status of the Operational Risk environment is disclosed to the governance forums in a monthly basis. |
Santander Mexico had a monthly average loss of $29 million pesos for Operational Risk overall the quarter.
Technological Risk

General description of the valuation techniques
Derivative financial securities are valued at reasonable value, according to the accounting rules established in the Circular Letter for Credit Institutions issued by the National Banking and Exchange Commission, in Principle B-5 “Derivative Financial Instruments and hedging Transactions” and the provisions in Principle A-2 “Application of specific rules”, and the provisions in the specific rule included in Bulletin C-10 of the Financial Information Rules.
A. Methodology of Valuation
1) Trading purposes
a) Organized Markets
Valuation is made at the corresponding closing market price. Prices are provided by the supplier of prices.
b) Over-the-Counter Markets
 | 98 |
i) Derivative financial instruments with optionality.
In the majority of the cases, a general form of the Black & Scholes model is used. Such model assumes that the underlying product follows a lognormal distribution. For exotic products or when payment depends on the trajectory of any market variable, MonteCarlo simulations are used. In this case, it is assumed that logarithms of the different variables follow a multi-varied normal distribution.
ii) Derivative financial instruments with no optionality.
The valuation technique is to obtain the present value of the estimated future flows.
In all cases, Grupo Financiero Santander carries out the valuation of its positions and registers the corresponding value. In some cases, a different calculation agent is designated, and such calculation agent may be the counterparty or a third party.
2) Hedging purposes
In the performance of its commercial banking activities, Grupo Financiero Santander has tried to cover the evolution of the financial margin of structured portfolios that are exposed to adverse movements in interest rates. The ALCO, the body responsible for the management of long-term assets and liabilities, has constituted the portfolio via which the Grupo Financiero Santander achieves such hedge.
An accounting hedge is defined as a transaction that complies with the following conditions:
a. A hedge relationship is designated and documented from the beginning in an individual file, where its objective and strategy is established.
b. The hedge is effective for the compensation of variations in the reasonable value or in the cash flows attributed to such risk, according to the risk management documented at the beginning.
The Management of Grupo Financiero Santander performs derivative transactions for hedging purposes with swaps.
Derivatives for hedging purposes are valued at market value, and the effect is recognized depending on the type of accounting hedge, pursuant to the following:
a. In the case of fair value hedges, they are valued at market value for the risk covered, the primary position and the hedging derivative instrument, and the net effect is registered in the statement of income of the corresponding period.
b. In the case of cash flow hedges, the hedging derivative instrument is valued at market value. The effective portion of the hedge is registered in the comprehensive income account, within the stockholders’ equity, and the ineffective portion is registered in the statement of income.
Grupo Financiero Santander ceases the recording of hedges at the maturity date of the derivative, or when such derivative is sold, cancelled or exercised; when the derivative does not reach a high efficiency in compensating the changes in the reasonable value or the cash flows of the covered item, or when Grupo Financiero Santander decides to cancel the hedge.
It shall be fully evidenced that the hedge fulfills the objective for which derivatives were contracted for. This effectiveness requirement assumes that the hedge must comply with a maximum range of deviation with respect to the initial objective of 80% to 125%.
In order to demonstrate the efficacy of hedges, two tests are to be carried out:
a) Forward-looking Test: it is demonstrated that, in the future, the hedge will be within the aforementioned range of deviation.
b) Retrospective Test: This test reviews if, in the past, from its initial date to now, the hedge has been maintained within the allowed range of deviation.
In the cases of Fair Value Hedges and the Cash Flow Hedges, they are retrospective and forward-looking efficient and within the allowed maximum range of deviation.
 | 99 |
B. Reference Variables
The most relevant reference variables are:
Exchange Rates
Interest Rates
Equity
Baskets of equities and stock indexes.
C. Frequency of valuation
Derivative financial instruments for trading and hedging purposes are valued on a daily basis.
Management of internal and external sources of liquidity that may be used for the compliance of requirements related to derivative financial instruments.
Resources are obtained via the National and International Treasury departments.
Changes in exposure to identified risks, contingencies and events, known or expected, in derivative financial instruments.
At the end of the third quarter of 2016, Grupo Financiero Santander has no situation or contingency such as changes in the value of the underlying asset or the reference variables, that may cause the use of the derivative financial instruments to be different to their original intended use, a significant change in their scheme or the total or partial loss of the hedge, requiring the Issuer to assume new obligations, commitments or variations in its cash flow or affecting its liquidity (day trade calls), nor contingencies or events known or expected by the Management that may affect future reports.
During the third quarter of 2016, the number or expired derivative financial instruments and closed positions was as follows (unaudited):

Sensitivity Analysis
Identification of Risks
Sensitivity measures of market risk associated with securities and derivative financial instruments are those that measure the change (sensitivity) of the market value of the financial instrument concerned, when changes in each of the risk factors associated with same occur.
The sensitivity of the value of a financial instrument when changes in market factors occur and is determined by the full instrument revaluation.
The sensitivities are detailed below according to each risk factor and associated historical consumption of the trading book.
The management strategy of the organization is integrated with security positions and derivatives. The latter are used largely to mitigate the market risk of the first. In view of the above, the sensitivities or exposures as described below are both types of instruments considered as a whole.
1. Sensitivity to risk factor “Equity (“Delta EQ”)”
The EQ Delta shows the change in the portfolio's value in relation to changes in the prices of equities.
The EQ Delta calculated for the case of derivative financial instruments considered the relative change of 1% in the prices of the underlying assets in equities, in the case of equities, this considers the relative variation of 1% of market price title.
2. Sensitivity to risk factor “Foreign Exchange”, (“Delta FX”)
The FX Delta shows the change in the portfolio's value in relation to changes in asset prices exchange rate.
The FX Delta calculated for the case of derivative financial instruments considered the relative change of 1% in the prices of the underlying assets of the exchange rate, In the case of currency positions, this considers the relative variation of 1% of the corresponding exchange rate.
3. Sensitivity to risk factor “Volatility” (“Vega”)
Vega sensitivity is the measure resulting from changes in the volatility of the underlying asset (the reference asset). Vega risk is the risk that a change in the volatility of the underlying asset value, that results in a change in the market value of the derivative.
The calculation of Vega sensitivity, considers the absolute change of 1% in the volatility of the underlying asset value.
 | 101 |
4. Sensitivity to risk factors “Interest Rate” (“Rho”)
This sensitivity quantifies the change in value of financial instruments for the trading portfolio in the face of a parallel increase in the interest rate curves of a basis point.
The table below presents the sensitivities described above corresponding to the position of the trading portfolio,as of the end of the third quarter of 2016:

It is considered that the above sensitivity table reflects prudent management of the trading portfolio of Grupo Financiero Santander with respect to risk factors.
Stress Test for Derivative Financial Instruments
The following are various stress test scenarios considering various scenarios calculated for the trading portfolio of Grupo Financiero Santander.
This scenario was defined based in the movements derived from a standard deviation, with respect to risk factors that have an influence over the valuation of financial instruments. Specifically:
o Risk factors of Interest Rate (“IR”), volatility (“Vol”) and rate of Exchange (“FX”) were incremented in a standard deviation.
o Risk factors with respect to stock market (“EQ”) were decreased in a standard deviation.
Under this scenario, as requested in the official letter, risk factors were modified in 25%. Specifically:
o Risk factors: IR, Vol and FX were multiplied by 1.25 that means, they were incremented in 25%.
o Risk factor EQ was multiplied by 0.75 that means, it was decreased in 25%.
Under this scenario, as requested in the official letter, risk factors were modified in 50%. Specifically:
o Risk factors IR, Vol and FX are multiplied by 1.50, that is, they were incremented in 50%.
o Risk factor EQ was multiplied by 0.5, that is, it was decreased a 50%.

The issuance activity is performed without having the guarantee of the parent company.
· The liquidity management of all Bank subsidiaries is centralized.
i) Cash flows and Inflows, if any, that are not captured in this framework, but the institution considers relevant to the liquidity profile.

Additional notes for the previous quarter
I. Quantitative information:
a) The concentration limits for different groups of guarantees received and major sources of financing.
· The Bank has no concentration limits under guarantees received by market operations, as they are mainly composed of government securities and cash.
b) Exposure to liquidity risk and funding needs of the institution, taking into account the legal, regulatory and operational constraints on liquidity transfers.
· Liquidity risk is associated with our capacity to finance the commitments we undertake at reasonable prices, as well as maintaining our ability to carry out our business plans using stable financing sources. Factors that influence liquidity risk may be external, such as a liquidity crisis, or internal, such as an excessive concentration of maturities.
· The measures used to control liquidity risk in balance sheet management are the liquidity gap, liquidity ratios, stress scenarios and liquidity horizons.
· The liquidity horizons metric has been defined to ensure that the Group has sufficient liquid assets to comply with its requirements during a certain period of time, given different stress scenarios. The Group set a 90-day survival horizon for local currency and consolidated balance and a 30-day survival horizon for foreign currency. During the 2Q16, the balance remained above the established limits, and therefore we maintained a sufficient liquidity buffer.
