Héctor Grisi, Grupo Financiero Santander México's Executive President and CEO, commented, "We are pleased to report a solid start to the year. Net interest income rose 18% year-on-year reaching a record high in March, to surpass 4 billion pesos. We remain focused on implementing strategies that will enable us to become the market leader in profitability and growth in Mexico, and reach our long term performance goals. To achieve this, we need to strengthen returns on capital, increase customer loyalty, reduce attrition and consolidate our leadership in key markets."
"To make more efficient use of our capital, we have been conducting an in-depth assessment of returns on our risk-weighted assets. Behind this assessment is a disciplined philosophy of only embarking on transactions that meet our thresholds of return. As such, we have started to implement a range of initiatives including pricing adjustments in the commercial segment."
"We expanded our loan book 14% year-on-year, achieving strong performance in consumer loans – up 27% as we leveraged the strength of our retail franchise in an environment of healthy consumer demand. We started to see softer loan demand in the commercial segment, on the back of higher interest rates and a more challenging global environment. We continue to maintain a disciplined focus on profitability as competition intensifies. With a sharp eye on asset quality, the NPL ratio fell across the board year-on-year to 2.97%. While deposits showed good performance – up 13% YoY - driven by solid growth in individual deposits, there is still room to close our market share gap and improve our cost of funding."
"Aside from our objective of stronger capital returns, we are re-focusing our global corporate banking. To deliver on our potential in this business, we plan to improve our offering to multinational companies, consolidate our project finance operation and increase our focus on transactional products. While we are primarily a commercial bank, we are confident these initiatives will enable us to increase revenue contribution from corporate banking, while creating additional synergies with our retail operation."
"Our commitment to being a client-centric bank drives the growth strategy for our retail banking operations. We are reorganizing this business through measures such as further investments in IT and introducing multifunction ATMs. While Santander has excellent products and strong marketing capabilities, we recognize the need to address churn and increase client loyalty. Overall, we are dedicated to executing these growth initiatives for our corporate, commercial and retail bank, underpinned by an uncompromising focus on profitable growth."
