PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Accounting Principles

Under Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 19, 2002, all companies governed by the law of an EU Member State and whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market of any Member State must prepare their consolidated financial statements for the years beginning on or after January 1, 2005 in conformity with EU-IFRS. The Bank of Spain issued Circular 4/2017 of November 27, 2017, “Circular 4/2017”, which replaced Circular 4/2004 of December 22, 2004, “Circular 4/2004”, on Public and Confidential Financial Reporting Rules and Formats for financial statements as of January 1, 2018 and thereafter.

Differences between EU-IFRS required to be applied under the Bank of Spain’s Circular 4/2004 and Circular 4/2017 and IFRS-IASB are not material for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017.  Accordingly, the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report on Form 6-K are in compliance with IAS 34 as issued by the IASB, and were prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS in consideration of the Bank of Spain’s Circular 4/2017.

IFRS 9 became effective on or after January 1, 2018 and replaced IAS 39 for financial statements from January 1, 2018 onwards and includes new classification and measurement requirements for financial assets and liabilities, impairment requirements for financial assets and hedge accounting policy. The application of this standard on January 1, 2018, has had a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group at that date. The first application is detailed in Appendix IV of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Statistical and Financial Information

The following principles should be noted in reviewing the statistical and financial information contained herein:

·Average balances, when used, are based on the beginning and the month-end balances during each six-month period. We do not believe that such monthly averages present trends that are materially different from those that would be presented by daily averages.

·Unless otherwise stated, any reference to loans refers to both loans and advances.

·Financial information with respect to segments or subsidiaries may not reflect consolidation adjustments.

·Certain numerical information in this interim report on Form 6-K may not compute due to rounding. In addition, information regarding period-to-period changes is based on numbers which have not been rounded.

Changes in operating segments

There have been no significant changes to our operating segments during the first six months of 2018 (see Note 5 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements).

(1)    Represents net interest income as a percentage of average total assets. In order to calculate “Net interest margin” for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively, net interest income is annualized by multiplying the net interest income for the period by two. (2)    Represents profit as a percentage of average total assets. In order to calculate “Return on average total assets” for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively, net interest income is annualized by multiplying the net interest income for the period by two. (3)    Represents profit attributable to parent company for the period as a percentage of average shareholders’ funds for the period, excluding “Non-controlling interest”. In order to calculate “Return on average equity” for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively, net interest income is annualized by multiplying the net interest income for the period by two. (4)    Represents impairment losses on loans and advances to credit institutions and loans and advances to customers of financial assets at amortized cost. See Note 13 to the financial statements included in our 2017 Form 20-F. (5)     Represents the sum of impaired loans and advances to customers and impaired contingent liabilities to customers divided by the sum of loans and advances to customers and contingent liabilities to customers. (6)    We include contingent liabilities in the calculation of our non-performing asset ratio (NPA ratio). We believe that impaired contingent liabilities should be included in the calculation of our NPA ratio where we have reason to know, as of the reporting date, that they are impaired. The credit risk associated with contingent liabilities (consisting mainly of financial guarantees provided to third-parties on behalf of our customers) is evaluated and provisioned according to the probability of default of our customers’ obligations. If impaired contingent liabilities were not included in the calculation of our NPA ratio, such ratio would generally be higher for the periods covered, amounting to approximately 4.6% as of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. (7)    Includes impaired loans.

Exchange Rates

Spain’s currency is the euro. Unless otherwise indicated, the amounts that have been converted to euro in this interim report on Form 6-K have been converted at the corresponding exchange rate published by the European Central Bank (“ECB”) at the end of each relevant period for purposes of the balance sheet, and the average exchange rate during the relevant period for purposes of the income statement.

For convenience in the analysis of the information, the following tables describe, for the periods and dates indicated, information concerning the noon buying rate for euro, expressed in U.S. dollars per euro. The term “noon buying rate” refers to the rate of exchange for euros, expressed in U.S. dollars per euro, in the City of New York for cable transfers payable in foreign currencies as certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for customs purposes.

B.   Business Overview

BBVA is a highly diversified international financial group, with strengths in the traditional banking businesses of retail banking, asset management, private banking and wholesale banking.

Operating Segments

Set forth below are the Group’s current seven operating segments:

•       Rest of Eurasia.

In addition to the operating segments referred to above, the Group has a Corporate Center which includes those items that have not been allocated to an operating segment. It includes the Group’s general management functions, including costs from central units that have a strictly corporate function; management of structural exchange rate positions carried out by the Financial Planning unit; specific issues of capital instruments to ensure adequate management of the Group’s overall capital position; proprietary portfolios; certain tax assets and liabilities; certain provisions related to commitments with pensioners; and goodwill and other intangibles.

The breakdown of the Group’s total assets by operating segments and Corporate Center as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is as follows:

Interest Earning Assets—Margin and Spread

The following table analyzes the levels of our average earning assets and illustrates the comparative gross and net yields and spread obtained for each of the periods indicated.

	Six months ended June 30,
	2018	2017
	(In Millions of Euros, Except Percentages)
Average interest earning assets	640,936	667,059
Gross yield (1)	2.3%	2.1%
Net yield (2)	2.1%	2.0%
Net interest margin (3)	1.3%	1.3%
Average effective rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities	1.1%	1.0%
Spread (4)	1.1%	1.2%

(1)Gross yield represents total interest income divided by average interest earning assets.

(2)Net yield represents total interest income divided by total average assets.

(3)Net interest margin represents net interest income as percentage of average interest earning assets.

(4)Spread is the difference between gross yield and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

ASSETS

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks

As of June 30, 2018, interbank deposits (excluding deposits with central banks) represented 3.7% of our total assets. Of such interbank deposits, 81.0% were held outside of Spain and 19.0% in Spain. We believe that our deposits are generally placed with highly rated banks and have a lower risk than many loans we could make in Spain. However, such deposits are subject to the risk that the deposit banks may fail or the banking system of certain of the countries in which a portion of our deposits are made may face liquidity or other problems.

Securities Portfolio

As of June 30, 2018, our total securities portfolio (consisting of investment securities and loans and advances of financial assets at amortized cost) was carried on our consolidated balance sheet at a carrying amount (equivalent to its market or appraised value as of such date) of€118,953 million,representing 17.3% of our total assets. €29,609 million, or 24.9%, of our securities portfolio consisted of Spanish Treasury bonds and Treasury bills. For a discussion of our investments in affiliates, see Note 15 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For a discussion of the manner in which we value our securities, see Note 7 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables analyze the amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The financial assets held for trading are not included in the tables below because the amortized costs and fair values of these items are the same.

The following table sets forth a breakdown, by currency, of our net loan portfolio as of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017:

(1)    Total net lending includes financial assets held for trading for loans and advances to customers.

As of June 30, 2018, loans by BBVA and its subsidiaries to associates and jointly controlled companies amounted to €578 million, compared with €510 million as of December 31, 2017. Loans outstanding to the Spanish government and its agencies amounted to €17,384 million, or 4.3% of our total loans and advances as of June 30, 2018 compared with €18,116 million, or 4.5% of our total loans and advances as of December 31, 2017. None of our loans to companies controlled by the Spanish government are guaranteed by the government and, accordingly, we apply normal credit criteria in extending credit to such entities. Moreover, we carefully monitor such loans because governmental policies necessarily affect such borrowers.

Diversification in our loan portfolio is our principal means of reducing the risk of loan losses. We also carefully monitor our loans to borrowers in sectors or countries experiencing liquidity problems. Our exposure to our five largest borrowers as of June 30, 2018, excluding government-related loans, amounted to €20,358 million or approximately 4.95% of our total outstanding loans and advances. As of June 30, 2018 there did not exist any concentration of loans exceeding 10% of our total outstanding loans and advances, other than by category as disclosed in the table above.

Maturity Sensitivity

The following table sets forth an analysis by maturity of our total loans and advances to customers by domicile of the branch office that issued the loan and the type of customer as of June 30, 2018. The determination of maturities is based on contract terms.

(1)Loans charged off were mainly related to the real estate sector.

When the recovery of any recognized amount is considered to be remote, this amount is removed from the consolidated balance sheet, without prejudice to any actions taken by the consolidated entities in order to collect the amount until their rights extinguish in full through expiry, forgiveness or for other reasons.

The loans charged off amounted to €1,297 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared with €2,090 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Our loan loss reserves as a percentage of total loans and advances increased to 3.2% as of June 30, 2018 from 2.9 % as of December 31, 2017.

32

Impaired Loans

Loans are considered to be impaired loans when there are reasonable doubts that the loans will be recovered in full and/or the related interest will be collected for the amounts and on the dates initially agreed upon, taking into account the guarantees received by the consolidated entities to ensure (in part or in full) the performance of the loans.

Amounts collected in relation to impaired financial assets at amortized cost are used to recognize the related accrued interest and any excess amount is used to reduce the unpaid principal. The approximate amount of interest income on our impaired loans which was included in profit attributable to parent company for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was €220 million and €118 million, respectively.

The following table provides information regarding our impaired loans, by domicile and type of customer, as of the dates indicated:

	As of June 30,	As of December 31,
	2018	2017
	(In Millions of Euros)
Impaired loans
Domestic	11,852	12,730
Public sector	147	158
Other resident sector	11,705	12,572
Foreign	6,785	6,671
Public sector	13	13
Non-resident sector	6,772	6,658
Total impaired loans	18,637	19,401
Total loan loss reserve	(13,498)	(12,784)
Impaired loans net of reserves	5,139	6,617

Our total impaired loans amounted to €18,637 million as of June 30, 2018, a 3.9% decrease compared with €19,401 million as of December 31, 2017. This decrease was mainly attributable to the reduction of the Group’s exposure to the real estate sector in Spain.

Our loan loss reserve includes loss reserve for impaired assets and loss reserve for unimpaired assets but which present an inherent loss. As of June 30, 2018, the loan loss reserve amounted to €13,498 million, a 5.6% increase compared with €12,784 million as of December 31, 2017. This increase in our loan loss reserve is mainly attributable to increases in the household sector and foreign commercial and other financial.

The following tables provide information, by domicile and type of customer, regarding our impaired loans and the loan loss reserves for impaired assets taken for each impaired loan category, as of June 30, 2018:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

As of June 30, 2018, of the total troubled debt restructurings of €19,910 million, €8,361 million were not considered impaired loans.

Potential Problem Loans

The identification of “Potential problem loans” is based on the analysis of historical non-performing asset ratio trends, categorized by products/clients and geographical locations. This analysis is focused on the identification of portfolios with non-performing asset ratio higher than our average non-performing asset ratio. Once these portfolios are identified, we segregate such portfolios into groups with similar characteristics based on the activities to which they are related, geographical location, type of collateral, solvency of the client and loan to value ratio. 

The non-performing asset ratio in our domestic real estate and construction portfolio was 28.0% as of June 30, 2018 (compared with 30.9% as of December 31, 2017), substantially higher than the average non-performing asset ratio for all of our domestic activities (6.8% as of June 30, 2018 and 7.1% as of December 31, 2017) and the average non-performing asset ratio for all of our consolidated activities (4.4% as of June 30, 2018 and 4.5% as of December 31, 2017). Within such portfolio, construction loans and property development loans (which exclude mainly infrastructure and civil construction) had a non-performing asset ratio of 19.1% as of June 30, 2018 (compared with 26.2% as of December 31, 2017). Given such non-performing asset ratio, we performed an analysis in order to define the level of loan provisions attributable to these loan portfolios.

Foreign Country Outstandings

The following table sets forth, as of the end of the periods indicated, the aggregate amounts of our cross-border outstandings (which consist of loans, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, acceptances and other monetary assets denominated in a currency other than the home-country currency of the office where the item is booked) where outstandings in the borrower’s country exceeded 1% of our total assets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Cross-border outstandings do not include loans in local currency made by our subsidiary banks to customers in other countries to the extent that such loans are funded in the local currency or hedged. As a result, they do not include the vast majority of the loans made by our subsidiaries in South America, Mexico, Turkey and the United States or other regions which are not listed below.

	As of June 30, 2018		As of December 31, 2017
	Amount	% of Total Assets	Amount	% of Total Assets

Our exposure to borrowers in countries with difficulties (the last four categories in the foregoing table), excluding our exposure to subsidiaries or companies we manage and trade-related debt, amounted to €168 million and €130 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These figures do not reflect loan loss reserves of 25.0% and 19.1%, respectively, of the relevant amounts outstanding at such dates. Deposits with or loans to borrowers in all such countries as of June 30, 2018 did not in the aggregate exceed 0.02% of our total assets.

The country-risk exposures described in the preceding paragraph as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, do not include exposures for which insurance policies have been taken out with third parties that include coverage of the risk of confiscation, expropriation, nationalization, non-transfer, non-convertibility and, if appropriate, war and political violence. The sums insured as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, amounted to $120 million and $124 million, respectively (approximately €103 million and €104 million, respectively, based on a euro/dollar exchange rate on June 30, 2018 of $1.00 = €0.86 and on December 31, 2017 of $1.00 = €0.83).

For an analysis of our deposits, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, saving deposits and time deposits, see Note 21 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Time deposits from Spanish and foreign financial institutions amounted to €18,616 million as of June 30, 2018, substantially all of which were in excess of $100,000.

Large denomination deposits may be a less stable source of funds than demand and savings deposits because they are more sensitive to variations in interest rates. For a breakdown by currency of customer deposits as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, see Note 21 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

EQUITY

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)

As of June 30, 2018, the accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to €9,868 million, a 12.2% increase compared to the €8,792 million recorded as of December 31, 2017. The majority of the balance is related to the conversion to euros of the financial statements balances from consolidated entities whose functional currency is not euros. In this regard, the increase was mainly related to the depreciation of the Mexican peso and the Turkish lira.

A.   Operating Results

Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Trends in Exchange Rates

We are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk in that our reporting currency is the euro, whereas certain of our subsidiaries and investees keep their accounts in other currencies, principally Mexican pesos, U.S. dollars, Turkish liras, Argentine pesos, Chilean pesos, Colombian pesos, Venezuelan bolivar and Peruvian new soles. For example, if Latin American currencies, the U.S. dollar or the Turkish lira depreciate against the euro, when the results of operations of our subsidiaries in the countries using these currencies are included in our consolidated financial statements, the euro value of their results declines, even if, in local currency terms, their results of operations and financial condition have remained the same. By contrast, the appreciation of Latin American currencies, the U.S. dollar or the Turkish lira against the euro would have a positive impact on the results of operations of our subsidiaries in the countries using these currencies when their results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may limit the ability of our results of operations, stated in euro, to fully show the performance in local currency terms of our subsidiaries.

The assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries which maintain their accounts in currencies other than the euro have been converted to the euro at the period-end exchange rates for inclusion in our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Income statement items have been converted at the average exchange rates for the period. The following table sets forth the exchange rates of several Latin American currencies, the U.S. dollar and the Turkish lira against the euro, expressed in local currency per €1.00 as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 according to the ECB.

	Average Exchange Rates		Period-end Exchange Rates
	For the six months ended June 30, 2018	For the six months ended June 30, 2017	As of June 30, 2018	As of December 31, 2017
Mexican peso	23.0808	21.0340	22.8817	23.6614
U.S.dollar	1.2105	1.0829	1.1658	1.1993
Argentine peso	26.0132	17.0082	32.4233	22.5830
Chilean peso	740.1925	714.7963	755.2870	738.0074
Colombian peso	3,448.2759	3,164.5570	3,436.4261	3,584.2294
Peruvian new sol	3.9303	3.5447	3.8159	3.8813
Venezuelan bolivar	1,000,000.0000	4,310.3448	1,000,000.0000	18,181.8182
Turkish lira	4.9561	3.9388	5.3385	4.5464

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Mexican peso, the U.S. dollar, the Argentine peso, the Chilean peso, the Colombian peso, the Peruvian sol, the Venezuelan bolivar and the Turkish lira depreciated against the euro in average terms. With respect to period-end exchange rates, the Argentine peso, the Chilean peso, the Venezuelan bolivar and the Turkish lira depreciated against the euro. On the other hand the Mexican peso, the U.S. dollar, the Colombian peso and the Peruvian sol appreciated against the euro. The overall effect of changes in exchange rates was negative for the period-on-period comparison of the Group’s income statement and positive for the period-on-period comparison of the Group’s balance sheet.

When comparing two dates or periods in this Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements we have excluded, where specifically indicated, the impact of changes in exchange rates by assuming constant exchange rates. In doing this, with respect to income statement amounts, we have used the average exchange rate for the more recent period for both periods and, with respect to balance sheet amounts, we have used the closing exchange rate of such more recent period.

Operating Environment

Our results of operations are dependent, to a large extent, on the level of demand for our products and services (primarily loans and deposits but also intermediation of financial products such as sovereign or corporate debt) in the countries in which we operate. Demand for our products and services in those countries is affected by the performance of their respective economies in terms of gross domestic product (GDP), as well as prevailing levels of employment, inflation and, particularly, interest rates. The demand for loans and saving products correlates positively with income, which correlates in turn with the GDP, employment and corporate profits evolution. Regarding interest rates, they have a direct impact on banking results as the banking activity mainly relies on the generation of positive interest margins by paying lower interest on liabilities, primarily deposits, than the interest received on assets, primarily loans. However, it should be noted that higher interest rates, all else being equal, also reduce the demand for banking loans and increase the cost of funding of the banking business.

Global GDP growth remained broadly stable at an annualized rate of 4.0% in the first half of 2018 after improving in 2017 to 3.8% according to BBVA Research estimates, driven by strong global trade, private consumption and investment. However, while the global economy has experienced good economic performance in recent quarters, supported by the U.S. fiscal stimulus and the stability of the Chinese economy, and several potential negative factors have emerged during the first half of over this year. Both the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank and the European Central Bank have taken further steps towards the normalization of monetary policy, which suggests somewhat less accommodating conditions and, together with idiosyncratic shocks in some countries, such as Argentina, Brazil and Turkey, have triggered a reassessment of risks and increasing financial tensions in emerging economies. In addition, increasing protectionist measures could also weigh on global activity in the second half of the year. Global GDP growth is projected at around 3.8% for 2018 according to BBVA Research forecasts, but risks exist which may lessen growth, mainly related to political uncertainty, vulnerabilities in emerging economies and above all increasing protectionism.

39

Regarding the evolution of key economic areas for the Group, after growing above 3% in each of 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Spanish economy slowed slightly in the first half of 2018 but is still expanding at a positive rate. The positive inertia of the economy along with supportive monetary and fiscal policies is supporting the dynamism of Spanish domestic demand and offsetting some headwinds such as increasing oil prices and higher uncertainty. According to BBVA Research’s current estimates, growth is expected to slow to below 3% in 2018. However, improvements in the credit market and the structural economic reforms implemented in Spain are expected to remain anchors for economic growth in Spain.

Mexican GDP grew at an annualized rate of 2.1% in the first half of 2018 (2.3% in 2017) driven by robust private consumption, and investment in the first quarter related to the repair efforts after the September 2017 earthquakes. However, investment is expected to show some deterioration over 2018 in light of high uncertainty. The declining inflation, if  it continues, should continue to improve the purchasing power of households and underpin private consumption this year. BBVA Research forecasts GDP growth to remain at around 2% in 2018, although risks related to the uncertainty generated by US trade policy, expectations associated with the mechanisms for implementing the new government’s social and economic policies, and the adverse effects of the extreme weather conditions could cause actual growth to be lower than such estimate. Against this backdrop, a sound fiscal policy and a monetary policy oriented to maintaining price stability is crucial to limiting the impact of uncertainties around the Mexican economy.

South American GDP growth (based on the weighted average of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela, according to their GDP size) recovered from negative levels (-2.4% in 2016) to 0.8% in 2017 according to BBVA Research estimates, supported by global growth and the rise in commodity prices. The external environment is expected to continue to support growth, which together with the recovery in investment and the effect of the depreciation of local currencies in 2017, are expected to allow GDP growth to be close to 1% in 2018. However market volatility in Argentina and the resulting policy tightening at the end of August will likely have a significant negative effect on growth estimates in that country, which could shave up to an estimated 0.4 percentage points from average growth for South America in 2018. Inflation pressures remain relatively contained in the region (except in Argentina, due to strong depreciation). This relatively positive scenario for most countries in the region might be affected by risks related to U.S. policy actions, further market volatility in Argentina and any delays in planned investment.

The U.S. economy gathered pace in the first half of 2018, growing at an average annualized growth rate of 2.7% (compared to 2.2% in 2017), driven by the strength of domestic demand after the tax reform approved at the end of 2017 and a further fiscal stimulus in early 2018. As a result of this, together with high confidence levels both for households and firms, GDP growth is expected to accelerate to around 2.8% in 2018, according to BBVA Research forecasts. Strong growth along with increasing inflation over the year support potential future interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Bank. Despite the improvement of the economy, growth could be affected in the medium to long term by protectionist policies.

As regards Turkey, 2018 GDP growth is estimated to have decelerated notably to 3.0% from 7.4% in 2017. A rise in rates by the Federal Reserve, a negative global environment for emerging markets, increasing diplomatic tensions with the U.S. and policy inaction have affected the Turkish economic outlook including deteriorating inflation and poor growth expectations. Inflation has surpassed two-digit levels driven by domestic demand pressures, commodity prices and the lagged effects of the depreciation of the Turkish lira. The Turkish central bank has tightened monetary policy by raising interest rates 600 basis points, in response to the sharp depreciation of the lira (40% so far in 2018 through August 31, 2018).

The changes in our unaudited condensed interim consolidated income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 were as follows:

Net interest income

The following table summarizes the principal components of net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

	For the six months ended June 30,
	2018	2017	Change
	(In Millions of Euros)		(In %)
Interest and similar income	14,507	14,305	1.4
Interest and similar expenses	(5,864)	(5,502)	6.6
Net interest income	8,643	8,803	(1.8)

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 amounted to €8,643 million, a 1.8% decrease compared with the €8,803 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2017, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the currencies of the main countries where BBVA operates. Excluding the impact of the depreciation of the currencies, net interest income increased by 9.4% mainly as a result of the growth in volumes. The 1.8% decreased explained by region:

·Spain: 1.5% decrease as a result of lower volumes and the lower contribution of the wholesale portfolio.

·United States: 0.3% increase, as a result of the impact of the Federal Reserve Bank benchmark interest rate increases partially offset by the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro and decreased volume.

·Mexico: 1.8% decrease as a result of the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro which more than offset the higher volume of loans and advances to customers.

·Turkey: 6.3% decrease as a result of the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro which more than offset the 17.9% increase as a result of the growth in activity and higher income from inflation-linked bonds.

·South America: 0.7% decrease as a result of the depreciation of the currencies of the region against the euro, which more than offset the greater volume and the increase in yield on interest-earning assets.

Dividend income

Dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 amounted to €84 million, a 60.5% decrease compared with the €212 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2017, mainly as a result of the implementation of IFRS 9, pursuant to which, since January 1, 2018, dividends from “Financial assets held for trading” are recognized in the most recent period in the heading “Net gains (losses) in financial assets and liabilities”, whereas in the prior period they were recognized under “Dividend income”.

Share of profit or loss of entities accounted for using the equity method

Share of profit of entities accounted for using the equity method for the six months ended June 30, 2018 amounted to €14 million profit, compared with the €8 million loss recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Fee and commission income

The breakdown of fee and commission income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 is as follows:

	For the six months ended June 30,
	2018	2017	Change
	(In Millions of Euros)		(In %)

B.   Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity risk management and controls are explained in Note 6.2 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, information on encumbered assets is provided in Note 6.2 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and finance management of the BBVA Group’s balance sheet seeks to fund the growth of the banking business at suitable maturities and costs, using a wide range of instruments that provide access to a large number of alternative sources of finance.

BBVA´s principal source of funds is its customer deposit base, which consists primarily of demand, savings and time deposits. In addition to relying on customer deposits, BBVA also accesses the interbank market (overnight and time deposits) and domestic and international capital markets for our additional liquidity requirements. To access the capital markets, BBVA has in place a series of domestic and international programs for the issuance of commercial paper and medium- and long-term debt. Another source of liquidity is the generation of cash flow from operations. Finally, BBVA supplements its funding requirements with borrowings from the Bank of Spain and from the ECB or the respective central banks of the countries where our subsidiaries are located.

A core principle in the BBVA Group’s liquidity and finance management is the financial independence of its banking subsidiaries. This aims to ensure that the cost of liquidity is correctly reflected in price formation. Accordingly, we maintain a liquidity pool at an individual Liquidity Management Units (“LMU”) level at each of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. and our banking subsidiaries, including BBVA Compass, BBVA Bancomer, Garanti and our Latin American subsidiaries.

The table below shows the composition of the liquidity pool of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. and each of our significant subsidiaries as of June 30, 2018:

	BBVA Eurozone (1)	BBVA Bancomer	BBVA Compass	Garanti	Others
	(In Millions of Euros)
Cash and withdrawable central bank reserves	12,405	5,725	1,767	6,413	5,922

(1)Includes Spain, Portugal and Rest of Eurasia.

Management of liquidity and structural finance within the BBVA Group is based on the principle of the financial autonomy of the entities that make it up. This approach helps prevent and limit liquidity risk by reducing the Group’s vulnerability in periods of high risk. This decentralized management also helps avoid possible contagion due to a crisis that could affect only one or several BBVA Group entities, which must cover their liquidity needs independently in the markets where they operate. LMUs have been set up for this reason in the geographical areas where the main foreign subsidiaries operate, and also for the parent company of the Group (Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A.), within the Euro currency scope, which LMU includes BBVA Portugal and Rest of Eurasia.  

The Finance Division, through the Global Assets and Liabilities Management unit manages the BBVA Group's liquidity and funding. It plans and executes the funding of the long-term structural gap of each LMU and proposes to the Assets and Liabilities Committee (“ALCO”) the actions to adopt in this regard in accordance with the policies and limits established by the Executive Committee.

As a first core element, the Bank's targets in terms of liquidity and funding risk are centered on the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) and the Loan-to-Stable-Customer-Deposits (“LtSCD”) ratio. LCR is a regulatory measurement aimed at ensuring entities’ resilience in a scenario of liquidity stress within a time horizon of 30 days.

70

BBVA, within its risk appetite framework and its limits and alerts schemes, has established a requirement for compliance with the LCR ratio both for the Group as a whole and for each of the LMUs individually. The internal levels required were designed to comply in advance with the implementation of the regulatory requirements of 2018, at a level above 100%.

LCR came into force in Europe on October 1, 2015, with an initial 60% minimum requirement, progressively increased (phased-in) up to 100% in 2018. Throughout the first six months of 2018. LCR at the BBVA Group remained above 100%. As of June 30, 2018, LCR ratio was 127%.

Although this regulatory requirement is mandatory at a group level for Eurozone banks, the LCR of all of BBVA´s banking subsidiaries exceeded 100% as of June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, liquidity excesses in subsidiaries are not deemed to be transferable to other subsidiaries when calculating the consolidated LCR. Excluding the impact of High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA), BBVA´s consolidated LCR was 147%.

For the purpose of establishing the (maximum) target levels for LtSCD in each LMU and providing an optimal funding structure reference in terms of risk appetite. Global Risk Management (“GRM”) Structural Risk identifies and assesses the economic and financial variables that condition the funding structures in the various geographical areas. The behavior of the indicators reflects that the funding structure remained robust in 2017 and 2016, in the sense that all the LMUs maintained levels of self-funding with stable customer funds which were higher than the required levels.

The second core element in liquidity and funding risk management is the achievement of proper diversification of the funding structure, avoiding excessive reliance on short-term funding and establishing a maximum level of short-term borrowing comprising both wholesale funding as well as less stable funds from non-retail customers. Regarding long-term funding, its maturity profile does not show significant concentrations, which contributes to the adaptation of the anticipated securities issuance schedule to financial conditions of the markets. Moreover, concentration risk is monitored at the LMU level, with a view to ensuring appropriate diversification both by counterparty and by instrument type.

The third element promotes the short-term resilience of the liquidity risk profile, helping ensure that each LMU has sufficient collateral to address the risk of wholesale markets closing. Basic Capacity is the short-term liquidity risk management and control metric that is defined as the relationship between the available explicit assets, such as collaterals for central banks, and the maturities of wholesale liabilities and volatile funds, at different terms, with special relevance being given to 30-day maturities.

Customer deposits

Customer deposits amounted to €367,312 million as of June 30, 2018 compared with €376,379 million as of December 31, 2017. The decrease is mainly a result of the decline in Spain, particularly in time deposits due to the low interest rate environment.

Our customer deposits, excluding assets sold under repurchase agreements, amounted to €365,818 million as of June 30, 2018 compared with €367,300 million as of December 31, 2017.

Amounts due to credit institutions

Amounts due to credit institutions, including central banks, amounted to €62,041 million as of June 30, 2018 compared with €91,570 million as of December 31, 2017. The decrease as of June 30, 2018 compared with December 31, 2017, was mainly attributable to the initial implementation of IFRS 9 as of January 1, 2018. See Appendix IV to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the classification and measurement of financial instruments.

	As of June 30,	As of December 31,	As of June 30,
	2018	2017	2017
	(In Millions of Euros)
Deposits from credit institutions	33,307	54,516	52,477
Deposits from central banks	28,734	37,054	36,525
Total	62,041	91,570	89,001

Capital markets

We make debt issuances in the domestic and international capital markets in order to finance our activities and as of June 30, 2018 we had €45,922 million of senior debt outstanding, comprising €42,271 million in bonds and debentures and €3,651 million in promissory notes and other securities, compared with €47,027 million, €42,561 million and €4,466 million outstanding as of December 31, 2017, respectively. See Note 21.4 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

In addition, we had a total of €16,633 million in subordinated debt and €183 million in preferred securities outstanding as of June 30, 2018 compared with €17,153 million and €163 million outstanding as of December 31, 2017, respectively.

The following is a breakdown as of June 30, 2018of the maturities of our debt securities (including bonds) from credit institutions and subordinated liabilities. Regulatory equity instruments have been classified according to their contractual maturity:

	Demand	Up to 1 Month	1 to 3 Months	3 to 12 Months	1 to 5 Years	Over 5 years	Total
	(In Millions of Euros)
Debt certificates (including bonds)	1,688	2,056	1,805	4,832	33,599	2,051	45,922
Subordinated debt and preferred securities	107	-	-	-	6,459	10,250	16,816
Total	1,795	2,056	1,805	4,832	40,057	12,301	62,738

Generation of Cash Flow

We operate in Spain, Mexico, Turkey, the United States and over 30 other countries, mainly in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Our banking subsidiaries around the world, including BBVA Compass, are subject to supervision and regulation by a variety of regulatory bodies relating to, among other things, the satisfaction of different solvency, resolution and/or governance requirements. The obligation to satisfy such requirements may affect the ability of our banking subsidiaries, including BBVA Compass, to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. In addition, under the laws of the various jurisdictions where our subsidiaries, including BBVA Compass, are incorporated, dividends may only be paid out of funds legally available and, in certain cases, subject to the prior approval of the competent regulatory or supervisory authorities. For example, BBVA Compass is incorporated in Alabama and under Alabama law it is not able to pay any dividends without the prior approval of the Superintendent of Banking of Alabama and the Federal Reserve Bank if the dividend would exceed the total net earnings for the year combined with the bank’s retained net earnings of the preceding two years.

Even where any applicable requirements are met and funds are legally available, the relevant regulator could advise against the transfer of funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances, for prudence reasons or otherwise.

There is no assurance that in the future other similar restrictions will not be adopted or that, if adopted, they will not negatively affect our liquidity. The geographic diversification of our businesses, however, may help to limit the effect on the Group of any restrictions that could be adopted in any given country.

We believe that our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements and to pursue our planned business strategies.

Capital

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, equity is calculated in accordance with current regulation on minimum capital base requirements for Spanish credit institutions – both as individual entities and as a consolidated group. Such regulation dictates how to calculate such equity levels, as well as the various internal capital adequacy assessment processes they should have in place and the information they should disclose to the market.

The minimum capital base requirements established by the current regulation are calculated according to the Group’s exposure to credit and dilution risk, counterparty and liquidity risk relating to the trading portfolio, exchange-rate risk and operational risk. In addition, the Group must fulfill the risk concentration limits established in said regulation and the internal corporate governance obligations.

As a result of the most recent SREP (supervisory review and evaluation process) carried out by the ECB in 2017, we have been informed by the ECB that, effective from January 1, 2018, we are required to maintain (i) a CET1 phased-in capital ratio of 8.438% (on a consolidated basis) and 7.875% (on an individual basis); and (ii) a phased-in total capital ratio of 11.938% (on a consolidated basis) and 11.375% (on an individual basis).

This phased-in total capital ratio of 11.938% on a consolidated basis includes (i) the minimum Common Equity Tier 1, “CET1” capital ratio required under “Pillar 1” (4.5%); (ii) the “Pillar 1” Additional Tier 1 capital requirement (1.5%); (iii) the “Pillar 1” Tier 2 capital requirement (2%); (iv) the additional CET1 capital requirement under “Pillar 2” (1.5%); (v) the capital conservation buffer (1.875% CET1); and (vi) the D-SIB buffer (0.563% CET1).

Since BBVA was not part of the list of global systemically important financial institutions (which is updated every year by the Financial Stability Board (FSB)) as of January 1, 2018, the G-SIB buffer will not apply to BBVA in 2018. The FSB or the Bank of Spain may include BBVA in this list in the future.

However, the Bank of Spain announced on November 24, 2017 that the Bank will continue to be considered a D-SIB, and consequently the Bank is required to maintain a D-SIB buffer of a CET1 capital ratio of 0.75% on a consolidated basis. The D-SIB buffer is being phased-in from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2019, with the result that the D-SIB buffer applicable to the Bank for 2018 is a CET1 capital ratio of 0.563% on a consolidated basis.

Our consolidated ratios as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

	As of June 30,	As of December 31,	% Change
	2018	2017	2018-2017
	(In Millions of Euros, Except Percentages )
Ordinary Tier I Capital	50,322	50,935	(1.2)

(1)    Not meaningful.

73

As of June 30, 2018, the phased-in CET1 stood at 11.08%, the phased-in Tier 1stood at 12.81%, and the phased-in Tier 2 stood at 2.66%. These capital ratios are above the requirements established by the ECB in its SREP letter and the systemic buffers applicable in 2018 for the BBVA Group, which were 8.438% for the phased-in CET1 ratio and 11.938% for the total capital ratio).

As of June 30, 2018, the phased-in CET1 decreased by 59 basis points compared with December 31, 2017, mainly due to the phase-in calendar concerning minority interests and deductions which increased to 100% in 2018 from 80% in 2017. These effects were partially offset by the organic generation of capital as a result of the increased profit, net of dividends paid and remunerations. This phased-in CET1 ratio also includes the impact of the initial implementation of IFRS9. In this context the European Commission and Parliament have established temporary and voluntary arrangements, adapting the impact of IFRS9 on capital ratios. BBVA has informed the ECB supervisory board that it has adhered to these arrangements.

Regarding the issuance of capital, at the Tier 1 level the BBVA Group completed a $1,000 million AT1 capital issuance carried out in November 2017. However, the AT1 $1,500 million issuance of May 2013 was redeemed, as announced to the market. At the Tier 2 level, BBVA S.A. closed a private placement of $300 million at 5.25% with a 15-year maturity, while BBVA Bancomer issued $1,000 million. Moreover, BBVA, S.A. completed two public issuances of senior non-preferred debt, for a total of €2,500 million which will be used to meet the MREL (minimum required eligible liabilities) requirements.

Considering BBVA’s Multiple Point of Entry (MPE) resolution strategy, the Single Resolution Board (SRB) determined that BBVA must meet, starting on January 1, 2020, a MREL requirement of 15.08% of the total liabilities and own funds of its European resolution group (i.e., BBVA S.A. and its subsidiaries), with figures as of December 31, 2016 (28.04% expressed in RWA terms). According to our estimates, the current own funds and eligible liabilities structure of BBVA´s European resolution group is in line with this MREL requirement.

Risk-weighted assets (RWAs) slightly decreased since the end of 2017, largely due to the depreciation of the main currencies of the Group against the euro. The BBVA Group carried out two securitizations in the first half of 2018: a traditional securitization in June, of an auto loan portfolio of consumer finance for €800 million, which has had a positive impact on capital of €324 million due to the release of RWAs; and a synthetic securitization in March, on which the European Investment Fund (EIF, a subsidiary of the European Investment Bank), issued a financial guarantee on an intermediate tranche of a €1,950 million portfolio of loans to small and medium sized companies. As a result of obtaining this guarantee, BBVA released €443 million of RWAs. During the second quarter, BBVA received authorization from the European Central Bank (ECB) to update its calculation of RWAs for structural exchange-rate risk under the standard model.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Introduction, basis for the presentation of the interim Consolidated Financial Statements and other information

1.1Introduction

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (hereinafter “the Bank” or “BBVA") is a private-law entity subject to the laws and regulations governing banking entities operating in Spain. It carries out its activity through branches and agencies across the country and abroad.

The Bylaws and other public information are available for inspection at the Bank’s registered address (Plaza San Nicolás, 4 Bilbao) as noted on its web site (www.bbva.com).

In addition to the activities it carries out directly, the Bank heads a group of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates which perform a wide range of activities and which together with the Bank constitute the Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Group (hereinafter, “the Group” or “the BBVA Group”). In addition to its own separate financial statements, the Bank is required to prepare Consolidated Financial Statements comprising all consolidated subsidiaries of the Group.

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the BBVA Group for the year ended December 31, 2017, were authorized for issue on April 5, 2018.

1.2Basis for the presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The BBVA Group’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements (hereinafter, the “consolidated financial statements”) are presented in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”, as issued by the IASB). In accordance with IAS 34, the interim financial information is prepared solely for the purpose of updating the last annual consolidated financial statements, focusing on new activities, events and circumstances that occurred during the period without duplicating the information previously published in those financial statements.

Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all information required by a complete set of consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the IASB or in accordance with the IFRS adopted by European Union (hereinafter, “EU-IFRS”). Consequently, for an appropriate understanding of the information included in them, they should be read together with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The aforementioned consolidated financial statements are presented in compliance with IFRS-IASB (International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board) and in accordance with the EU-IFRS applicable as of December 31, 2017, considering the Bank of Spain Circular 4/2004, of December, 22 (and as amended thereafter), and with any other legislation governing financial reporting applicable to the Group in Spain.

F-11

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared applying principles of consolidation, accounting policies and valuation criteria, which, as described in Note 2, are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, taking into consideration the new Standards and Interpretations that became effective on January 1, 2018 (see Note 2), so that they present fairly the Group’s consolidated equity and financial position as of June 30, 2018, together with the consolidated results of its operations and the consolidated cash flows generated by the Group during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The consolidated financial statements and explanatory notes were prepared on the basis of the accounting records kept by the Bank and each of the other entities in the Group. They include the adjustments and reclassifications required to harmonize the accounting policies and valuation criteria used by the entities in the Group.

All effective accounting standards and valuation criteria with a significant effect in the consolidated financial statements were applied in their preparation.

The amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of euros, unless it is more appropriate to use smaller units. Therefore, some items that appear without a balance in these consolidated financial statements are due to how the units are expressed. Also, in presenting amounts in millions of euros, the accounting balances have been rounded up or down. It is therefore possible that the totals appearing in some tables are not the exact arithmetical sum of their component figures.

When determining the information to disclose about various items of the financial statements, the Group, in accordance with IAS 34, has taken into account their materiality in relation to the consolidated financial statements.

1.3Comparative information

During the first semester of 2018, there were no significant changes to the existing structure of the BBVA Group’s operating segments in comparison to 2017 (see Note 5). Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

1.4Seasonal nature of income and expenses

The nature of the most significant activities carried out by the BBVA Group’s entities is mainly related to typical activities carried out by financial institutions, which are not significantly affected by seasonal factors within the same year.

1.5Responsibility for the information and for the estimates made

The information contained in the BBVA Group’s consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Group’s Directors.

Estimates have to be made at times when preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements in order to calculate the recorded or disclosed amount of some assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments. These estimates relate mainly to the following:

·Impairment losses on certain financial assets (Notes 6, 12, 13, 14 and 15).

·The assumptions used to quantify certain provisions (Note 23) and for the actuarial calculation of post-employment benefit liabilities and commitments (Note 24).

·The useful life and impairment losses of tangible and intangible assets (Note 16, 17, 19 and 20).

·The valuation of goodwill and price allocation of business combinations (Note 17).

F-12

·The fair value of certain unlisted financial assets and liabilities (Note 7).

·The recoverability of deferred tax assets (Note 18).

·The exchange rate and the inflation rate of Venezuela.

Although these estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future as of the end of the reporting periods, future events may make it necessary to modify them (either up or down) over the coming years. This would be done prospectively in accordance with applicable standards, recognizing the effects of changes in the estimates in the corresponding consolidated income statement.

During the first semester of 2018 there were no significant changes to the assumptions made as of December 31, 2017, except as indicated in these consolidated financial statements.

2.Principles of consolidation, accounting policies and measurement bases applied and recent IFRS pronouncements

The accounting policies and methods applied for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not differ significantly to those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2017 (Note 2), except for the application of IFRS 9.

2.1    Standards and interpretations that became effective in the first semester of 2018

The following amendments to the IFRS standards or their interpretations (hereinafter “IFRIC”) became effective on or after January 1, 2018. They have had an impact on the BBVA Group’s consolidated financial statements corresponding to the period ended June 30, 2018.

IFRS 9 - “Financial instruments”

IFRS 9 replaced IAS 39 for financial statements from January 1, 2018 onwards and includes new classification and measurement requirements for financial assets and liabilities, impairment requirements for financial assets and hedge accounting policy.

The application of this standard on January 1, 2018, has had a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group at that date. The first application is detailed in Appendix IV.

The main requirements of IFRS 9 are:

Classification and measurement of financial instruments

Financial assets

IFRS 9 has a new approach to classification and measurement of financial assets which is a mirror of the business model used for asset management purposes and its cash flow characteristics.

IFRS 9 contains three main categories for financial assets classification: valued at amortized cost, valued at fair value with changes in other accumulated comprehensive income, and valued at fair value through profit or loss. The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets.

F-13

The classification of financial instruments measured at amortized cost or fair value must be carried out on the basis of the entity's business model and the assessment of the contractual cash flow, commonly known as the "solely payments of principle and interest" criterion (hereinafter, the SPPI). The purpose of the SPPI test is to determine whether in accordance with the contractual characteristics of the instrument its cash flows only represent the return of the principal and interest, basically understood as consideration for the time value of money and the debtor's credit risk.

A financial instrument will be classified in the amortized cost portfolio when it is managed with a business model whose purpose is to maintain the financial assets to receive contractual cash flows, and passes the SPPI test. They will be classified in the portfolio of financial assets at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income if they are managed with a business model whose purpose combines collection of the contractual cash flows and sale of the assets, and meets the SPPI test. They will be classified at fair value with changes in profit and loss provided that the entity's business model for their management or the contractual characteristics of its cash flows do not require classification into one of the portfolios described above.

The Group has reviewed the existing business models in the geographic areas where it operates to establish classification in accordance with IFRS 9, taking into account the special characteristics of the local structures and organizations, as well as the type of products.

The Group has defined criteria to determine the acceptable frequency and reasons for sales so that the instrument can remain in the category of held to collect contractual cash flows.

Regardless of the frequency and importance of the sales, some types of sales are not incompatible with the category of held to collect contractual flows: sales due to reduction in credit quality; sales close to the maturity of transactions so that variations in market prices will not have a significant effect on the cash flows of the financial asset; sales in response to a change in regulations or in taxation; sales in response to an internal restructuring or significant business combination; sales derived from the execution of a liquidity crisis plan when the crisis event is not reasonably foreseeable.

The Group has segmented the portfolio of instruments for carrying out the SPPI test by differentiating products with standard contracts (all the instruments have identical contractual characteristics and are broadly used), for which the Group has carried out the SPPI test by reviewing the standard framework contract. For those products with similar, but not identical characteristics, compliance has been assessed through a sampling exercise of contracts. All the financial instruments with specific contractual characteristics have been analyzed individually.

As a result of the analyses carried out on both the business model and the contractual characteristics, certain accounting reclassifications have resulted affecting both financial assets and, as the case may be, financial liabilities related to those assets. In general, there is a greater volume of assets valued at fair value with changes in the income statement and the valuation method of some instruments has also been changed according to the one that best reflects the business model to which they belong. Changes in the valuation model to avoid exceeding the criterion of solely payment of principal and interest are not significant.

As of December 31, 2017, the Group had certain investments in asset instruments classified as available-for-sale which, in accordance with IFRS 9, the Group has designated as financial assets at fair value through changes in accumulated other comprehensive income. As a result, all the gains and losses at fair value of these instruments are now reported in other cumulative comprehensive income. Impairment losses would not be recognized to profit and loss, and gains or losses would not be reclassified to the income statement in the case of divestment. The remaining investments held by the Group as of December 31, 2017 in equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are now accounted for as fair value through changes in profit or loss.

F-14

Financial liabilities

IFRS 9 largely maintains the requirements under IAS 39 for classifying financial liabilities. Thus, save for the above mentioned changes derived from the business model allocation of assets associated with them, the classification of financial liabilities in accordance with IAS 39 has not been changed. However, a new aspect introduced by IFRS 9 is the recognition of changes in the fair value of the financial liabilities to which the fair value option is applied. In this case, the changes in the fair value attributable to the credit risk itself are recognized as other comprehensive income, while the rest of the variation is recognized in the income statement. In any case, the variation of credit risk itself may be recognized in the income statement if the treatment described above generates accounting asymmetry.

Financial assets impairments

IFRS 9 replaced the "incurred loss" model in IAS 39 with one of "expected credit loss". The IFRS 9 impairment model is applied to financial assets valued at amortized cost and to financial assets valued at fair value with changes in accumulated other comprehensive income, except for investments in equity instruments; and contracts for financial guarantees and loan commitments unilaterally revocable by BBVA. Likewise, all the financial instruments valued at fair value with change through profit and loss are excluded from the impairment model.

The new standard classifies financial instruments into three categories, which depend on the evolution of their credit risk from the moment of initial recognition. The first category includes the transactions when they are initially recognized (Stage 1); the second comprises the operations for which a significant increase in credit risk has been identified since its initial recognition (Stage 2) and the third one, the impaired operations (Stage 3).

The calculation of the provisions for credit risk in each of these three categories must be done differently. In this way, expected loss up to 12 months for the operations classified in the first of the aforementioned categories must be recorded, while expected losses estimated for the remaining life of the operations classified in the other two categories must be recorded. Thus, IFRS 9 differentiates between the following concepts of expected loss:

·Expected loss at 12 months: expected credit loss that arises from possible default events within  12 months following the presentation date of the financial statements; and

·Expected loss during the life of the transaction: this is the expected credit loss that arises from all  possible default events over the remaining life of the financial instrument.

All this requires considerable judgment, both in the modeling for the estimation of the expected losses and in the forecasts, on how the economic factors affect such losses, which must be carried out on a weighted probability basis.

The BBVA Group has applied the following definitions in accordance with IFRS 9:

Default

BBVA has applied a definition of default for financial instruments that is consistent with that used in internal credit risk management, as well as the indicators under applicable regulation at the date of entry into force of IFRS 9. Both qualitative and quantitative indicators have been considered.

The Group has considered there is a default when one of the following situations occurs:

·payment past-due for more than 90 days; or

·there are reasonable doubts regarding the full reimbursement of the instrument.

F-15

In accordance with IFRS 9, the 90-day past-due stipulation may be waived in cases where the entity considers it appropriate, based on reasonable and documented information that it is appropriate to use a longer term. As of June 30, 2018, the Group has not used terms greater than 90 days for any of the significant portfolios.

Credit impaired asset

An asset is credit-impaired according to IFRS 9 if one or more events have occurred and they have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:

·significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower,

·a breach of contract (e.g. a default or past due event),

·a lender having granted a concession to the borrower – for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty – that the lender would not otherwise consider,

·it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization,

·the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties, or

·the purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.

It may not be possible to identify a single discrete event. Instead, the combined effect of several events may cause financial assets to become credit-impaired.

The definition of impaired financial assets in the Group is aligned with the definition of default explained in the above paragraphs.

Significant increase in credit risk

The objective of the impairment requirements is to recognize lifetime expected credit losses for financial instruments for which there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition considering all reasonable and supportable information, including that which is forward-looking.

The model developed by the Group for assessing the significant increase in credit risk has a two-prong approach that is applied globally, although the specific characteristics of each geographic area are respected:

·Quantitative criterion: the Group uses a quantitative analysis based on comparing the current expected probability of default over the life of the transaction with the original adjusted expected probability of default, so that both values are comparable in terms of expected default probability for their residual life. The thresholds used for considering a significant increase in risk take into account special cases according to geographic areas and portfolios. Depending on how old current operations are, at the time of entry into force of the standard, some simplification has been made to compare the probabilities of default between the current and the original moment, based on the best information available at that moment.

·Qualitative criterion: most indicators for detecting significant risk increase are included in the Group's systems through rating/scoring systems or macroeconomic scenarios, so quantitative analysis covers the majority of circumstances. The Group will use additional qualitative criteria when it considers it necessary to include circumstances that are not reflected in the rating/score systems or macroeconomic scenarios used.

F-16

Additionally, instruments under one of the following circumstances are considered Stage 2:

·More than 30 days past due: Default of more than 30 days is a presumption that can be rebutted in those cases in which the entity considers, based on reasonable and documented information, that such non-payment does not represent a significant increase in risk. As of June 30, 2018, the Group has not used a term longer than 30 days for any of the significant portfolios.

·Watch list: They are subject to special watch by the Risks units because they show negative signs in their credit quality, even though there may be no objective evidence of impairment.

·Refinance or restructuring that does not show evidence of impairment.

Although the standard introduces a series of operational simplifications or practical solutions for analyzing the increase in significant risk, the Group does not expect to use them as a general rule. However, for high-quality assets, mainly related to certain government institutions and bodies, the standard allows for considering that their credit risk has not increased significantly because they have a low credit risk at the presentation date.

Thus the classification of financial instruments subject to impairment under the new IFRS 9 is as follows:

·Stage 1– without significant increase in credit risk

Financial assets which are not considered to have significantly increased in credit risk have loss allowances measured at an amount equal to 12 months expected credit losses.

·Stage 2– significant increase in credit risk

When the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the impairment losses of that financial instrument is calculated as the expected credit loss during the entire life of the asset.

·Stage 3 - Impaired

When there is objective evidence that the instrument is credit impaired, the financial asset is transferred to this category in which the provision for losses of that financial instrument is calculated as the expected credit loss during the entire life of the asset.

Method for calculating expected loss

In accordance with IFRS 9, the measurement of expected losses must reflect:

·A considered and unbiased amount, determined by evaluating a range of possible results.

·The time value of money.

·Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort and that reflects current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

The Group measures the expected losses both individually and collectively. The purpose of the Group's individual measurement is to estimate expected losses for significant impaired instruments, or instruments classified in Stage 2. In these cases, the amount of credit losses is calculated as the difference between expected discounted cash flows at the effective interest rate of the transaction and the carrying amount of the instrument.

F-17

For the collective measurement of expected losses, the instruments are grouped into groups of assets based on their risk characteristics. Exposure within each group is segmented according to the common credit risk characteristics, similar characteristics of the credit risk, indicative of the payment capacity of the borrower in accordance with their contractual conditions. These risk characteristics have to be relevant in estimating the future flows of each group. The characteristics of credit risk may consider, among others, the following factors:

·Type of instrument.

·Rating or scoring tools.

·Credit risk scoring or rating.

·Type of collateral.

·Amount of time at default for stage 3.

·Segment.

·Qualitative criteria which can have a significant increase in risk.

·Collateral value if it has an impact on the probability of a default event.

The estimated losses are derived from the following parameters:

·PD: estimate of the probability of default in each period.

·EAD: estimate of the exposure in case of default at each future period, taking into account the changes in exposure after the presentation date of the financial statements.

·LGD: estimate of the loss in case of default, calculated as the difference between the contractual cash flows and receivables, including guarantees.

In the case of debt securities, the Group supervises the changes in credit risk through monitoring the external published credit ratings.

To determine whether there is a significant increase in credit risk that is not reflected in the published ratings, the Group has also revised the changes in bond yields, and when they are available, the prices of CDS, together with the news and regulatory information available on the issuers.

Use of present, past and future information

IFRS 9 requires incorporation of present, past and future information to detect any significant increase in risk and measure expected loss.

The standard does not require identification of all possible scenarios for measuring expected loss. However, the probability of a loss event occurring and the probability it will not occur will also have to be considered, even though the possibility of a loss may be very small. Also, when there is no linear relation between the different future economic scenarios and their associated expected losses, more than one future economic scenario must be used for the measurement.

The approach used by the Group consists of using first the most probable scenario (baseline scenario) consistent with that used in the Group's internal management processes, and then applying an additional adjustment, calculated by considering the weighted average of expected losses in other economic scenarios (one more positive and the other more negative). The main macroeconomic variables that are valued in each of the scenarios for each of the geographies in which the Group operates are Gross Domestic Product (GDP), tax rates, unemployment rate and loan to value (LTV).

F-18

Hedge accounting

IFRS 9 also affects hedge accounting, because the focus of the IFRS 9 is different from that of IAS 39, as it tries to align the accounting requirements with economic risk management. IFRS 9 also permit the application of hedge accounting to a wider range of risks and hedging instruments. The Standard does not address the accounting for macro hedging strategies. To avoid any conflict between the macro hedge accounting under IAS 39 and the general hedge accounting requirements, IFRS 9 provides an accounting policy election for entities to continue applying hedge accounting under IAS 39.

Macro-hedges accounting is being developed as a separate project. Entities have the option to continue applying the hedge accounting as established by IAS39 until the project is completed. The Group has elected to continue applying IAS 39 to its hedge accounting.

Amended IFRS 9 – Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation

The amendments to IFRS 9 allow entities to measure particular prepayable financial assets with negative compensation at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income if a specified condition is met, instead of at fair value through profit or loss. The condition is that the financial asset would otherwise meet the criteria of having contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest but do not meet that condition only as a result of that prepayment feature.

The amendments should be applied to the accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, although early application is permitted. The Group has applied this amendment to the accounting period beginning on January 1, 2018 and it has not had a significant impact on the Group´s financial statements.

Amended IFRS 7 - “Financial instruments: Disclosures”

The IASB modified IFRS 7 in December 2011 to include new disclosures on financial instruments that entities will have to provide as soon as they apply IFRS 9 for the first time.

IFRS 15 - “Revenue from contracts with customers”

IFRS 15 contains the principles that an entity shall apply to account for revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer.

The core principle of IFRS 15 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, in accordance with contractual agreements (either over time or at a certain time). It is considered that the good or service is transferred when the customer obtains control over it.

The new Standard replaces IAS 18 – Revenue, IAS 11 - Construction Contracts, IFRIC 13 - Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 - Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 - Transfers of Assets from Customers and SIC 31 – Revenue-Transactions Involving Advertising Services.

This standard has not had a significant impact on the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements.

F-19

IFRS 2 – “Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions”

The amendments made to IFRS 2 provide requirements on three different aspects:

·When measuring the fair value of a cash-settled share-based payment vesting conditions, other than market conditions, the conditions for the irrevocability shall be taken into account by adjusting the number of awards included in the measurement of the liability arising from the transaction.

·A transaction in which an entity settles a share-base payment arrangement net by withholding a specified portion of the equity instruments to meet a statutory tax withholding obligation will be classified as equity settled in its entirety if, without the net settlement feature, the entire share-based payment would otherwise be classified as equity-settled.

·In case of modification of a share-based payment from cash-settled to equity-settled, the modification will be accounted for derecognizing the original liability and recognizing in equity the fair value of the equity instruments granted to the extent that services have been rendered up to the modification date; any difference will be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

This standard has not had a significant impact on the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Amended IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”

The amendments made to IFRS 4 address the temporary accounting consequences of the different effective dates of IFRS 9 and the forthcoming insurance contracts standard, by introducing two optional solutions:

·The deferral approach or temporary exemption, that gives entities whose predominant activities are connected with insurance the option to defer the application of IFRS 9 and continue applying IAS 39 until 2021.

·The overlay approach, that gives all issuers of insurance contracts the option to recognize in other comprehensive income, rather than profit or loss, the additional accounting volatility that may arise from applying IFRS 9 compared to applying IAS 39 before applying the forthcoming insurance contracts standard.

This standard has not had a significant impact on the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Annual improvements cycle to IFRSs 2014-2016 – Minor amendments to IFRS 1 and IAS 28

The annual improvements cycle to IFRSs 2014-2016 includes minor changes and clarifications to IFRS 1- First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards and IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, which should be applied to the accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, although early application was permitted for modifications to IAS 28.

This standard has not had a significant impact on the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements.

F-20

IFRIC 22- Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The Interpretation addresses how to determine the date of the transaction, and thus, the exchange rate to use to translate the related asset, expense or income on initial recognition, in circumstances in which a non-monetary prepayment asset or a non-monetary deferred income liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration is recognized in advance of the related asset, income or expense. It requires that the date of the transaction will be the date on which an entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability.

If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, the entity shall determine a date of the transaction for each payment or receipt of advance consideration.

This standard has not had a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Amended IAS 40 – Investment Property

The amendment states that an entity shall transfer a property to, or from, investment property when, and only when, there is evidence of a change in use. A change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property.

This standard has not had a significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

F-21

2.2    Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective as of June 30, 2018

The following new International Financial Reporting Standards together with their interpretations had been published at the date of preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, but are not mandatory as of June 30, 2018. Although in some cases the IASB allows early adoption before their effective date, the BBVA Group has not proceeded with this option for any such new standards.

Amended IFRS 10 – “Consolidated financial statements” and IAS 28 amended

These changes will be applicable to accounting periods beginning on the effective date, still to be determined, although early adoption is allowed.

IFRS 16 – “Leases”

The standard will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2019.

IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts

This Standard will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2021.

Sale of BBVA’s stake in BBVA Chile

On November 28, 2017, BBVA received a binding offer (the “Offer”) from The Bank of Nova Scotia group (“Scotiabank”) for the acquisition of BBVA’s stake in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Chile, S.A. (“BBVA Chile”) as well as in other companies of the Group in Chile with operations that are complementary to the banking business (amongst them, BBVA Seguros Vida, S.A.). BBVA owns approximately, directly and indirectly, 68.19% of BBVA Chile share capital. On December 5, 2017, BBVA accepted the Offer and entered into a sale and purchase agreement. The Offer received does not include BBVA’s stake in the automobile financing companies of Forum group and in other Chilean entities from BBVA’s Group which are engaged in corporate activities of BBVA Group.  

On July 6, 2018, BBVA completed the sale to Scotiabank of its direct and indirect shareholding stake in BBVA Chile. The consideration received in cash by BBVA as consequence of the referred sale amounts to approximately 2,200 million USD. The transaction results in a capital gain, net of taxes of approximately 640 million euros and in a positive impact on BBVA Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 (fully loaded) of approximately 50 basis points. These impacts will be recorded in BBVA Group´s third quarter consolidated financial statements for 2018 (see Note 49).

Ongoing divestitures

Agreement for the creation of a “joint-venture” and transfer of the real estate business in Spain

On November 29, 2017, BBVA reached an agreement with a subsidiary of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (“Cerberus”) for the creation of a “joint venture” to which a significant part of the real estate business of

F-23

BBVA in Spain will be transferred (the “Business”). BBVA will contribute the Business to a single company (the “Company”) and will sell 80% of the shares of such Company to Cerberus at the closing date of the transaction.

The Business comprises: (i) foreclosed real estate assets (the “REOs”), with a gross book value of approximately €13,000 million, taking as starting point the situation of the REOs on June 26, 2017; and (ii) the necessary assets and employees to manage the Business in an autonomous manner. For the purpose of the agreement with Cerberus, the whole Business was valued at approximately €5,000 million.

Considering the valuation of the whole Business previously mentioned and assuming that all the Business’ REOs on June 26, 2017 will be contributed to the Company, the sale price for 80% of the shares would amount to approximately €4,000 million. The price finally paid will be determined by the volume of REOs effectively contributed that may vary depending on, among other matters, the sales carried out from the date of reference June 26, 2017 until the date of closing of the transaction and the fulfilment of the usual conditions in this kind of transactions.

The transaction as a whole is subject to obtaining the relevant authorizations from the competent authorities, which are expected to be obtained during the second half of the year 2018.

4.Shareholder remuneration system

Cash Dividends

The Annual General Meeting of BBVA held on March 16, 2018 approved, under item 1 of the Agenda, the payment of a final dividend for 2017, in addition to other dividends previously paid, in cash for an amount equal to €0.15 (€0.1215 net of withholding tax) per BBVA share. Such final dividend was paid on April 10, 2018.

5.Operating segment reporting

Operating segment reporting represents a basic tool in the oversight and management of the BBVA Group’s various activities. The BBVA Group compiles reporting information on disaggregated business activities. These business activities are then aggregated in accordance with the organizational structure determined by the BBVA Group and, ultimately, into the reportable operating segments themselves.

As of June 30, 2018, there have not been significant changes in the reporting structure of the operating segments of the BBVA Group compared to the structure existing at the end of 2017. The structure of the operating segment is as follows:

·Banking activity in Spain

As in previous years, includes the Retail Network, Corporate and Business Banking (CBB), Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB), BBVA Seguros and Asset Management units, in Spain. It also includes the portfolios, finance and structural interest-rate positions of the euro balance sheet.

·Non Core Real Estate

Includes specialist management in Spain of loans to developers in difficulties and real-estate assets mainly comprised foreclosed assets, originated from both residential mortgages and loans to developers. New loan production to developers or loans to those that are not in difficulties are managed by Banking activity in Spain.

·The United States

Includes the Group’s business activity in the country through the BBVA Compass group and the BBVA New York branch.

·Mexico

Includes all the banking and insurance businesses in the country.

·Turkey

Includes the activity of the BBVA Group business in Turkey through Garanti Group.

·South America

Includes BBVA’s banking and insurance businesses in the region.

·Rest of Eurasia

Includes business activity in the rest of Europe and Asia, i.e. the Group´s retail and wholesale businesses in the area.

Lastly, the Corporate Center is comprised of the rest of the assets and liabilities that have not been allocated to the operating segments, as it corresponds to the Group’s holding function. It includes: the costs of the head offices that have a corporate function; management of structural exchange-rate positions; specific issues of capital instruments to ensure adequate management of the Group’s global solvency; portfolios and their corresponding results, whose management is not linked to customer relations, such as industrial holdings; certain tax assets and liabilities; funds due to commitments with employees; goodwill and other intangibles.

6.Risk management

The principles and risk management policies, as well as tools and procedures established and implemented in the Group as of June 30, 2018 do not differ significantly from those included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2017 (see Note 7 of such financial statements).

6.1Risk factors

As mentioned earlier, BBVA has processes in place for identifying risks and analyzing scenarios that enable the Group to manage risks in a dynamic and proactive way.

The risk identification processes are forward looking to ensure the identification of emerging risks and take into account the concerns of both the business areas, which are close to the reality of the different geographical areas, and the corporate areas and senior management.

Risks are captured and measured consistently using the methodologies deemed appropriate in each case. Their measurement includes the design and application of scenario analyses and stress testing and considers the controls to which the risks are subjected.

As part of this process, a forward projection of the risk appetite framework variables in stress scenarios is conducted in order to identify possible deviations from the established thresholds. If any such deviations are detected, appropriate measures are taken to keep the variables within the target risk profile.

To this extent, there are a number of emerging risks that could affect the Group’s business trends. These risks are described in the following main blocks:

Macroeconomic and geopolitical risks

Global growth has improved during 2017 and the first half of 2018, and is more synchronized across developed and emerging markets, which makes the recovery more sustainable. Healthy global trade growth and calm financial markets, which rely on the support from central banks and the lack of inflation pressure, also contribute to the more upbeat outlook. The performance of the most advanced economies is solid, especially the Eurozone, where global demand adds to domestic factors and reduced political uncertainty. Growth momentum in The United States will be supported in the short term by the recently approved tax reform, although its long-term impact is unlikely to be large. As regards emerging economies, China's growth moderation continues, with a mix of policies oriented to diminish financial imbalances, while economic activity in Latin America recovers against a background of higher commodity prices and favorable global funding conditions.

The uncertainty around these positive economic perspectives has a downward bias but continues to be elevated. First, following a long period of exceptionally loose monetary policies, the main central banks are tapering their support, with uncertainty on their impact on markets and economies given the background of high leverage and signs of overvaluation in some financial assets. A second source of uncertainty is related with the political support to the multilateral global governance of trade. Third, both global geopolitics and domestic politics in some countries are relevant for the economic perspectives within the BBVA's footprint.

In this regard, the Group's geographical diversification remains a key element in achieving a high level of revenue recurrence, despite the background conditions and economic cycles of the economies in which it operates.

F-26

Regulatory and reputational risks

·Financial institutions are exposed to a complex and ever-changing regulatory environment defined by governments and regulators. This can affect their ability to grow and the capacity of certain businesses to develop, and result in stricter liquidity and capital requirements with lower profitability ratios. The Group constantly monitors changes in the regulatory framework (such as IFRS9, Basel IV, etc.) that allow for anticipation and adaptation to them in a timely manner, adopt industry practices and more efficient and rigorous criteria in its implementation.

·The financial sector is under ever closer scrutiny by regulators, governments and society itself. Negative news or inappropriate behavior can significantly damage the Group's reputation and affect its ability to develop a sustainable business. The attitudes and behaviors of the group and its members are governed by the principles of integrity, honesty, long-term vision and industry practices through, inter alia, internal control Model, the Code of Conduct, tax strategy and Responsible Business Strategy of the Group.

Business, operational and legal risks

·New technologies and forms of customer relationships: Developments in the digital world and in information technologies pose significant challenges for financial institutions, entailing threats (new competitors, disintermediation…) but also opportunities (new framework of relations with customers, greater ability to adapt to their needs, new products and distribution channels...). Digital transformation is a priority for the Group as it aims to lead digital banking of the future as one of its objectives.

·Technological risks and security breaches: The Group is exposed to new threats such as cyber-attacks, theft of internal and customer databases, fraud in payment systems, etc. that require major investments in security from both the technological and human point of view. The Group gives great importance to the active operational and technological risk management and control. One example was the early adoption of advanced models for management of these risks (AMA - Advanced Measurement Approach).

·The financial sector is exposed to increasing litigation, so the financial institutions face a large number of proceedings which economic consequences are difficult to determine. The Group manages and monitors these proceedings to defend its interests, where necessary allocating the corresponding provisions to cover them, following the expert criteria of internal lawyers and external attorneys responsible for the legal handling of the procedures, in accordance with applicable legislation.

6.2Credit risk

6.2.1   Credit risk exposure

BBVA Group’s maximum credit risk exposure (see definition below) by headings in the balance sheets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is provided below. It does not consider the availability of collateral or other credit enhancements to guarantee compliance with payment obligations. The details are broken down by financial instruments and counterparties.

F-28

The maximum credit exposure presented in the table above is determined by type of financial asset as explained below:

·In the case of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, exposure to credit risk is considered equal to its carrying amount (not including impairment losses), with the sole exception of derivatives and hedging derivatives.

·The maximum credit risk exposure on financial guarantees granted is the maximum that the Group would be liable for if these guarantees were called in, and that is their amount.

·The calculation of risk exposure for derivatives is based on the sum of two factors: the derivatives fair value and their potential risk (or "add-on").

The first factor, fair value, reflects the difference between original commitments and fair values on the reporting date (mark-to-market).

The second factor, potential risk (‘add-on’), is an estimate of the maximum increase to be expected on risk exposure over a derivative fair value (at a given statistical confidence level) as a result of future changes in the fair value over the remaining term of the derivatives.

The consideration of the potential risk ("add-on") relates the risk exposure to the exposure level at the time of a customer’s default. The exposure level will depend on the customer’s credit quality and the type of transaction with such customer. Given the fact that default is an uncertain event which might occur any time during the life of a contract, the BBVA Group has to consider not only the credit exposure of the derivatives on the reporting date, but also the potential changes in exposure during the life of the contract. This is especially important for derivatives, whose valuation changes substantially throughout their terms, depending on the fluctuation of market prices.

The breakdown by counterparty and product of loans and advances, net of impairment losses, classified in the different headings of the assets, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is shown below:

6.3Liquidity risk

Management of liquidity and structural finance within the BBVA Group is based on the principle of the financial autonomy of the entities that make it up. This approach helps prevent and limit liquidity risk by reducing the Group’s vulnerability in periods of high risk. This decentralized management avoids possible contagion due to a crisis that could affect only one or several BBVA Group entities, which must cover their liquidity needs independently in the markets where they operate. Liquidity Management Units (LMUs) have been set up for this reason in the geographical areas where the main foreign subsidiaries operate, and also for the parent BBVA S.A., within the Euro currency scope, which includes BBVA Portugal.

Assets and Liabilities Management unit manages BBVA Group's liquidity and funding. It plans and executes the funding of the long-term structural gap of each LMUs and proposes to Assets and Liabilities Committee (“ALCO”) the actions to adopt in this regard in accordance with the policies and limits established by the Standing Committee.

As first core element, the Bank's target in terms of liquidity and funding risk is characterized through the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the Loan-to-Stable-Customer-Deposits (LtSCD) ratio. LCR is a regulatory measurement aimed at ensuring entities’ resistance in a scenario of liquidity stress within a time horizon of 30 days. BBVA, within its risk appetite framework and its limits and alerts schemes, has established a level of requirement for compliance with the LCR ratio both for the Group as a whole and for each of the Liquidity Management Units (LMUs) individually. The internal levels required are geared to comply sufficiently and efficiently in advance with the implementation of the regulatory requirement of 2018, at a level above 100%.

LCR ratio in Europe came into force on 1st October 2015. With an initial 60% minimum requirement, progressively increased (phased-in) up to 100% in 2018. Throughout the first semester of the year 2018, LCR level at BBVA Group has been above 100%. As of June 30, 2018, the LCR ratio at Group level is 127%.

Although this regulatory requirement is mandatory at a Group level and Eurozone banks, all subsidiaries are  above this minimum. In any case, it should be noted that liquidity excesses in subsidiaries are not deemed transferable when calculating the consolidated ratio. Taking into account the impact of these High Quality Liquid Assets excluded, LCR ratio would be 147%.

LCR main LMU
	June 2018
Group	127%
Eurozone(*)	153%
Bancomer	135%
Compass(**)	142%
Garanti	133%

(*)     Includes: Spain, Portugal and Rest of Eurasia.

(**)   Compass LCR calculated according to local regulation (Fed Modified LCR).

The second core element in liquidity and funding risk management is to achieve proper diversification of the funding structure, avoiding excessive reliance on short-term funding and establishing a maximum level of short-term borrowing comprising both wholesale funding as well as funds from non-retail customers. Regarding long-term funding, the maturity profile does not show significant concentrations, which enables adaptation of the anticipated issuance schedule to the best financial conditions of the markets. Finally, concentration risk is monitored at the LMU level, with a view to ensuring the right diversification both per counterparty and per instrument type.

The third element promotes the short-term resilience of the liquidity risk profile, making sure that each LMU has sufficient collateral to address the risk of wholesale markets closing. Basic Capacity is the short-term liquidity risk management and control metric that is defined as the relationship between the available explicit assets and the maturities of wholesale liabilities and volatile funds, at different terms, with special relevance being given to 30-day maturities.

Ongoing legal proceedings and litigation

The financial sector is facing an environment of greater regulatory and litigious pressure. In this environment, BBVA Group entities are frequently party to individual or collective legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, and to investigations and inspections of supervisors and authorities that may trigger legal proceedings.

Among others, there are procedures initiated by clients in Spain requesting the nullity of certain clauses of the mortgage loan agreements (expenses, early maturity, use of reference interest rates, floor clauses, etc.). Sometimes some of these proceedings, either against BBVA or against other entities, may raise prejudicial questions before the European Union Court of Justice, which considers the adaptation of Spanish legislation to European law and its interpretation by Spanish judicial bodies, and that could lead to future changes in criteria that may give rise to an increase in litigation or its impact.

The Group may incur in significant expenses when defending its interests in legal proceedings. The result of these procedures is difficult to foresee, and if adverse, could cause loss of business, economic damages, fines, loss of customer trust, reputational damage, etc.

According to the procedural status of these proceedings as of June 30, 2018, and to the criteria of the legal counsel, BBVA considers that, none of such actions is material, individually or as a whole, and they are deemed not to cause a significant impact on the operating results, liquidity or financial situation at a Group consolidated or individual level for the Bank. As of June 30, 2018 BBVA Group Management believes that the provisions recorded in respect of such legal proceedings are adequate.

In addition to the restructuring and refinancing transactions mentioned in this section, loans that were not considered impaired or renegotiated have been modified based on the criteria set out in paragraph 59 (c) of IAS 39. These loans have not been classified as renegotiated or impaired, since they were modified for commercial or competitive reasons (for instance, to improve relationships with clients) rather than for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial situation.
