From a management point of view, profit before provisions was backed by client revenues, which accounted for 87% of the area»s total were 1.1% higher in constant euros. Those generated by the global customer relation model rose 2%
excluding the exchange rate impact.

On the other hand, sharp decline in the UK (-20%) due to lower revenues in markets with interest rates at their lowest.
The performance of the business sub-areas and their contribution to revenue generation was as follows:
Transaction Banking
Global Transaction Banking(1), maintained solid client revenues: +1% year-on-year without the exchange-rate effect (-3% in current euros).
By business, trade finance was stable, underpinned by Santander»s solid position in its natural markets. Of note was the growth in the UK and the US, in contrast to the weak performance of Brazil. Similar performance of cash management due to weak evolution in Europe offset by Latin America and the US.
Basic financing registered the higher increase in client revenues, thanks to active management of spreads that offset the disintermediation and containment of risk assets in European markets. Stable revenues in custody and settlement due to the pick up in Latin America offsetting the weak performance in Europe.
Corporate Finance
Reduced client revenues from Corporate Finance (2)(-17%
year-on-year and -16% in constant euros), due to sluggish activity in Latin America in the second half of the year.
Santander was an active player in M&A (2)in the advisory services for investors in the Spanish market, particularly those from Asia and the US: the purchase of Veolia Environment;
the entry into the capital of NH; the acquisition of 5% of
CLH, etc. Also noteworthy was Santander»s involvement in the purchase-sale of assets in countries in Latin America (the sale of 40% of Telefonica»s operations in Central America;
the sale of part of Dalkia businesses, etc).
Of note in Equity Capital Markets (ECM) was Santander»s role in the main Spanish issues of convertible bonds (ACS, Indra and IAG), as well as in the first issue of ≈CoCoΔ bonds of a Spanish bank, and in Latin America the capital increases of Fibra Uno in Mexico and Enersis in Chile (subsidiary of Endesa) of $7,700 million overall.
CED (2)activity grew for the third year running, underscoring its potential as an alternative source of funding, investment or coverage for corporate clients.
Credit
Credit markets (3)increased their client revenues (+1% year-on-year; +5% in constant euros). Better performance in the US, the UK and Brazil, offsetting the decline in Spain.
Of note in syndicated corporate loans was Santander»s participation as co-arranger in the $63,000 million loan for Verizon-Vodafone»s operation, and as active bookrunner in Glencore»s EUR13,000 million loan operation.
In project finance, Santander was the only bank as a bookrunner in the first two project bonds in Europe under the Europe 2020 Project Bond initiative of the European Union and the European Investment Bank for a total of EUR 1,800 million. In Latin America, Santander was the
bookrunner in the $1,700 million project bond for Brazil»s Odebrecht in the US market which refinances two project finance for the construction of oil drilling ships. There were also various project bonds in Mexico for close to MXN 12,000 million for infrastructure and concession-holder companies, as well as structures in Chile.
In the primary bond market, Santander led as joint bookrunner two Kingdom of Spain issues of EUR 7,000 million each, and it also was senior co-manager in Verizon»s

remains as one of the main participants in the Latin American bond market.
The gross income of Asset and Capital Structuring (AC&S) continued to register high double-digit growth, backed by significant rises in portfolios and revenues in Latin America, the UK and the US.
Global Markets
Global markets (4)maintained their client revenues in constant euros (-3% in current euros) in an environment adjusting to the new regulations.
Solid evolution of revenues from sales (+11% in constant euros) in a context of limited opportunities. Most of the large units performed well, with double-digit growth in Brazil, Portugal and the US, which offset the fall in the UK.
All segments registered positive growth excluding the exchange-rate impact, especially retail and institutional (around 10%), backed by business in interest rate, exchange rate inflation and money market.
The management of books also benefited from inflows of capital and volatility scenarios, as well as from the recovery in equity markets. This resulted in a positive contribution for the year which offset the declines in previous quarters.
In equities, including derivatives, the year-on-year decline in client revenues softened (-1% without the exchange-rate effect compared to double-digit falls at the start of the
year). The recovery of the Spanish stock market, particularly in the second half of the year, was the main reason for this change of trend.
Mixed trends in derivatives for lending and hedging: good progress in Latin America in local currency, especially in Mexico and Brazil, as against a slowdown in Europe where volumes were lower than in 2012.
