Banco Santander SA (SAN.MC), one of Europe's largest banks, reported results for the final quarter of the year on Wednesday. Here's what you need to know:

 

PROFIT: Net profit for the quarter rose 34% to 2.07 billion euros ($2.37 billion), the bank said. This is above analyst expectations of EUR1.94 billion, according to a consensus forecast provided by FactSet.

 

REVENUE: The bank's gross income grew 4% to EUR12.54 billion, beating expectations of EUR12.17 billion.

 

WHAT WE WATCHED:

 

--THE NEW PLAN: Santander will present a new plan in April. It will continue with the same strategy, building on its strengths, such as diversification and scale, Executive Chairman Ana Botin said, confirming that the bank plans to pay a full-cash dividend for 2019. The banking giant said it targets a return on tangible equity--a key measure of profitability--of 13% to 15% and a core Tier 1 ratio of between 11% and 12% in the medium term. The targets for 2018, which included a double-digit growth in EPS, a core tier 1 ratio above 11% and a RoTE above 11.5%, have been achieved.

 

--U.K.: Underlying profit fell 8% last year at Santander's UK operations. The bank mentioned pressure on revenue as a result of the competitive environment and growing operating costs. Last week, the banking giant said it will close 140 U.K. branches as a consequence of the decline in the number of customers using physical banking.

 

--BRAZIL: The country remains the main contributor to the bank's bottom line. Underlying profit at the bank's Brazilian business grew 22% last year.

 

--CAPITAL: Santander's core Tier 1 ratio, a key measure of capital strength, was 11.3% at the end of December from 11.1% in September. Credit Suisse analysts had expected a ratio of 11.1% as of December.
