Results

The Corporate Center recorded a net attributable loss of €-566m in the first nine months of 2022. This result compares positively to €-817m recorded in the same period of the previous year, although it should be taken into account that this figure included the net costs associated with the restructuring process in Spain carried out by the Group in 2021, in addition to the results generated by the Group's businesses in the United States until their sale to PNC on June 1, 2021.

In addition to the aforementioned, the most relevant aspects of the year-on-year evolution of this aggregate are summarized below:

  • Between January and September 2022, the NTI registered a negative result of €80m, which contrasts with the gains of €268m in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the lower contribution of the portfolio of industrial and financial holdings.
  • Operating expenses remained under control (-1.7%), mainly due to lower IT- related costs.

In the quarterly evolution of this aggregate, the evolution of the NTI stands out, which generated a positive result of €41m between July and September.
