The information in this Appendix is unaudited and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006 or interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. The information in this Appendix has been prepared in accordance with Santander UK plc’s accounting policies described in its 2018 Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2018 filed with the SEC on 11 March 2019, except as described below.

Changes to the results’ basis of presentation – application of IAS 12

•

IAS 12 ‘Income Taxes’ amendment has been applied in these results. The amendment states that the income tax consequences arising from dividends on equity instruments should normally be recognised in the income statement, whereas they were previously classified as tax on other equity instruments and recognised in the statement of changes in equity.

•

This has been applied retrospectively, and consequently reduced the tax on profit by £42m for the year ended 31 December 2018.

1.	Comprised of ‘Net fee and commission income’ and ‘Net trading and other income’.
