Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Results

Santander Holdings USA Terminated 2015 Written Agreement, Company Completed $200 Million Share Repurchase Plan and Declares $0.20 Per Share Cash Dividend

Dallas, TX (January 30, 2019) – Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (NYSE: SC) (“SC”) today announced net income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018 (“Q4 2018”) of $104 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share. Net income for the full year 2018 (“2018”) was $916 million, or $2.54 per diluted common share.

The Company has declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per share, to be paid on February 21, 2019, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 11, 2019¹.

“Our full-year results demonstrate strength and consistency,” said Scott Powell, SC President and CEO, and CEO of Santander US. “SC's earnings and originations were up during each quarter, driven by our renewed focus on dealer experience, robust pricing approach, and stable credit performance. Auto originations through Santander Bank approached $2 billion in the program's first year, demonstrating the value that Santander US' businesses bring to each other. The Federal Reserve's termination of its 2015 Written Agreement with Santander Holdings USA demonstrates the significant improvements we have made to the way our US business operates.”

2018 Regulatory and Business Milestones:


•	The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (“Federal Reserve”) terminated the 2015 Written Agreement with SC's majority owner, Santander Holdings USA, Inc. (“SHUSA”). SHUSA also received its second consecutive capital stress test non-objection.


•	Achieved an average annual FCA penetration rate of 30%, up from 21% in 2017.


•	Through Santander Bank N.A., fully-launched a program in July leading to $1.9 billion in originations, and increased FCA dealer receivables (“floorplan”) 43% year-over-year, to $2.8 billion.

•	Completed prime auto loan portfolio conversion with a new third party increasing serviced for others balance by $1.0 billion.

“During 2018 we executed on our goals and improved dealer experience, focused on risk-adjusted returns and maintained disciplined expense management. This was demonstrated by strong originations growth, steady credit performance and an improved expense ratio,” said Juan Carlos Alvarez, SC CFO. “We have also completed our $200 million repurchase program and looking ahead, while we remain vigilant on the prolonged expansion, the macroeconomic environment is supportive for our business and we are optimistic about 2019.”

Net finance and other interest income increased 9 percent, to $1.1 billion in Q4 2018 from $1.0 billion in Q4 2017, primarily driven by higher lease income partially offset by higher interest expenses.

Servicing fee income increased 3 percent to $27 million in Q4 2018, from $26 million in Q4 2017, driven by the SBNA originations program and higher serviced for others balances. SC's serviced for others portfolio of $9.0 billion as of Q4 2018, is up 4 percent from $8.6 billion in Q4 2017.

RIC delinquency ratio²decreased to 6.0 percent in Q4 2018, from 6.3 percent in Q4 2017.

RIC net charge-off ratio³ increased to 10.6 percent in Q4 2018, from 10.3 percent in Q4 2017. Provision for credit loss increased to $691 million in Q4 2018, from $598 million in Q4 2017.

Allowance ratio⁴ decreased 30 basis points, to 11.4 percent at the end of Q4 2018, from 11.7 percent at the end of Q3 2018.

Recorded net investment losses were $146 million in Q4 2018, compared to net investment losses of $138 million in Q4 2017. The current period losses were primarily driven by held for sale accounting for SC's personal lending portfolio⁵.

During the quarter, SC incurred $256 million of operating expenses.

¹The timing and amount of any capital actions will depend on various factors, including the business plans and financial performance of both SC and SHUSA, as well as market conditions, and any SC capital distribution is subject to approval of the Company's and SHUSA's respective boards of directors.

² Delinquency ratio is defined as the ratio of end of period delinquent principal over 59 days to end of period gross balance of the respective portfolio, excluding capital leases.

³Net charge-off ratio stated on a recorded investment basis, which is the unpaid principal balance adjusted for unaccreted net discounts, subvention and origination costs.

⁴ Ratio for allowance for credit losses excludes end of period balances on purchased receivables portfolio of $28 million and finance receivables held for sale of $1.1 billion.

⁵ The current period losses were primarily driven by $146 million of lower of cost or market adjustments related to the held for sale personal lending portfolio, comprised of $109 million in customer default activity and $37 million increase in market discount, consistent with seasonal patterns.
