Material Fact: Updating Outlook for 2019

 

The information contained in this release is being published in order to inform the market of certain information being disclosed simultaneously in a private securities offering. Banco Santander Chile does not undertake to regularly update its financial expectations between quarterly earnings announcements and disclaims any obligation to update the expectations included in this release.

 

At the start of 2019, inflation has lagged and the Central Bank has already increased the interest rate by 25 basis points, with further increases expected later in the year. Despite the slow start for the year, we maintain a positive view on the economy for 2019 and expect loan growth to remain between 8% and 10%, with the mix shifting to higher yielding retail loans, and our revenues are expected to grow in line with average loans.

 

Due to a change in provisioning models for commercial loans analyzed on a group basis, we expect to recognize a one-time provision expense of approximately Ch$55 billion pre-tax. No further increases to the corporate tax rate are anticipated, and we therefore expect an effective tax rate of 22% for the year. Overall, recurring ROEs are expected to reach 19% in 2019.

 

Disclaimer

 

Banco Santander Chile cautions that this release contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements are found in various places throughout this release and include, without limitation, statements concerning our future business development and economic performance. While these forward looking statements represent our judgment and future expectations concerning the development of our business, a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors could cause actual developments and results to differ materially from our expectations. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) general market, macro-economic, governmental and regulatory trends; (2) movements in local and international securities markets, currency exchange rates, and interest rates; (3) competitive pressures; (4) technological developments; and (5) changes in the financial position or credit worthiness of our customers, obligors and counterparties. The risk factors and other key factors that we have indicated in our past and future filings and reports, including those with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America, could adversely affect our business and financial performance.

 

Note: the information contained in this release is not audited and is presented in Chilean Bank GAAP which is similar to IFRS, but there are some differences. Please refer to our 2017 20-F filed with the SEC for an explanation of the differences between Chilean Bank GAAP and IFRS. Nevertheless, the consolidated accounts are prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles. All figures presented are in nominal terms. Historical figures are not adjusted by inflation. Please note that this information is provided for comparative purposes only and that this restatement may undergo further changes during the year and, therefore, historical figures, including financial ratios, presented in this report may not be entirely comparable to future figures presented by the Bank.

The SBIF is the banking industry regulator that according to article 15 of the General Banking Law establishes the accounting principles to be used by the banking industry. For those principles not covered by the Compendium of Accounting Standards banks can use generally accepted accounting principles issued by the Chilean Accountant’s Association AG and which coincides with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In the event that discrepancies exist between the accounting principles issued by the SBIF (Compendium of Accounting Standards) and IFRS the Compendium of Accounting Standards will take precedence.
