EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are filing this report on Form 6-K to give retrospective effect to certain changes in our accounting that came into force in 2013 and to reflect the changes on our financial information by operating segments per our current reporting structure. In particular, in this report we recast the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 2, 2013 (the “2012 Form 20-F”) to reflect changes in the accounting standards set out in IFRS 10 and 11. The Group (as defined below) has implemented the new accounting standards set out in IFRS 10 and 11 since January 1, 2013. The impact of the implementation of the new accounting standard set out in IFRS 10 has not been material. Under the new standard set forth by IFRS 11, which supersedes SIC 13 “Jointly Controlled Entities—Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers” and IAS 31 “Interest in Joint Ventures”, it is no longer possible to use the proportionate consolidation method to account for joint arrangements. As a result, joint arrangements must be accounted for using the equity method. Accordingly, Türkiye Garanti Bankası A.Ş. (“Garanti”) and entities of the Garanti group are from January 1, 2013 accounted for using the equity method, whereas they were accounted for under the proportionate consolidation method prior to such date. This change affects various line items in our consolidated income statement and balance sheet but has no impact on our total equity or profit attributed to parent company. We are applying this change retrospectively to 2012, 2011 and 2010 in order to enhance the comparability of our financial disclosures for such year with 2013 and subsequent periods. However, with respect to 2010, the effect of the implementation of IFRS 10 and 11 is immaterial since the Group acquired Garanti in 2011, and there is no change to our previously reported audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010. While changes to IFRS 12 “Disclosure of interest in other entities” and IAS 19 “ Employee Benefits” also came into force in 2013, we have not recast our consolidated financial statements to reflect these changes, as the impact of the implementation of these new accounting standards has not been material for the Group.

In addition, our 2012 and 2011 financial information by operating segment has been restated to reflect our current reporting structure. As a result of the operating segment restructuring carried out in 2013, the assets and results pertaining to the real estate business in Spain are now presented under a separate operating segment, Real Estate Activity in Spain. This new operating segment was created to manage the increased risk with our real estate assets in Spain as a result of the economic crisis and the increase in our real estate assets as a result of the acquisition of Unnim. We have not restated our 2010 financial information by opeating segment given the absence of readily available comparable information (as a result of our real estate department not being created until 2011). In accordance with IFRS 8, the information for the Eurasia operating segment is presented under the management criteria, pursuant to which the information for such segment includes our 25.01% participation in the assets, liabilities and income statement of Garanti. A reconciliation of the income statement of our operating segments and the Group’s income statement is set forth in this report.

In this report we have included only such disclosure as was impacted by the revisions described above. This report does not, and does not purport to, recast or update the information in any other part of the 2012 Form 20-F or reflect any events that have occurred after the 2012 Form 20-F was filed on April 2, 2013. The filing of this report should not be understood to mean that any other statements contained in the 2012 Form 20-F are true and complete as of any date subsequent to April 2, 2013. This 6-K should be read in conjunction with the 2012 Form 20-F and our other filings with the SEC.

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 4/2004 of December 22, 2004 on Public and Confidential Financial Reporting Rules and Formats (as amended or supplemented from time to time, “Circular 4/2004”), which requires Spanish credit institutions to adapt their accounting system to the principles derived from the adoption by the European Union of EU-IFRS.

Differences between EU-IFRS required to be applied under the Bank of Spain’s Circular 4/2004 and IFRS-IASB are not material for the three years ended December 31, 2012. Accordingly, the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS required to be applied under the Bank of Spain’s Circular 4/2004 and in compliance with IFRS-IASB.

As mentioned in “Item 4. Information on the Company History and Development of the Company—Capital Divestitures—2013” and Note 3 to the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group announced its decision to conduct a study on strategic alternatives for its pension business in Latin America. The alternatives considered in this process include the total or partial sale of the businesses of the Pension Fund Administrators (AFP) in Chile, Colombia and Peru, and the Retirement Fund Administrator (Afore) in Mexico. For that reason on-balance figures for our companies related to the pension businesses in Latin America, have been reclassified under the headings “Non-current assets held for sale” and “Liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale” of the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, and the revenues and expenses of these companies for 2012 have been reclassified under the heading “Profit from discontinued operations” in the accompanying consolidated income statement. In accordance with IFRS 5, and in order to present financial information for all periods on a consistent basis, we have reclassified the revenues and expenses from these companies under the heading “Profit from discontinued operations” in the consolidated income statement for 2011 and 2010. These reclassifications have had no impact on our “Profit”.

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 year. We do not believe that such monthly averages present trends that are materially different from those that would be presented by daily averages.

 

    The book value of BBVA’s ordinary shares held by its consolidated subsidiaries has been deducted from equity.

 

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

 

    Interest income figures include interest income on non-accruing loans to the extent that cash payments have been received in the period in which they are due.

 

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

 

    Certain numerical information in this report may not sum due to rounding. In addition, information regarding period-to-period changes is based on numbers which have not been rounded.

(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.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

 

A. History and Development of the Company

There are no changes derived from the recast described in the introductory explanatory note.

 

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. We also have investments in some of Spain’s leading companies.

Operating Segments

The main changes in the reporting structure of the BBVA Group’s operating segments in 2013 are as follows:

 

    As a result of the increasingly geographical orientation of the Group’s reporting structure, certain portfolios, finance and structural euro balance sheet positions managed by the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) that were previously reported under our Corporate Activities (which is currently named the ‘Corporate Center’) are now part of our Spain segment (which is described below).

 

    Due to the particularities of their management, the assets and results pertaining to the real estate business in Spain are now presented under a separate segment: Real estate Activity in Spain. This new segment includes lending to real estate developers (which was previously included in our prior Spain segment) and foreclosed real estate assets (which were previously included in our Corporate Activities segment).

Set forth below are our six operating segments:

 

    Spain

 

    Real Estate Activity in Spain

 

    Eurasia

 

    Mexico

 

    South America

 

    United States

For comparison purposes, our 2012 and 2011 financial information by operating segment has been restated to reflect our current reporting structure.

In addition to the operating segments referred to above, we have a Corporate Center which includes those items that have not been allocated to an operating segment. It includes our 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 an adequate management of the Group’s global solvency; proprietary portfolios, such as industrial holdings, and their corresponding results; certain tax assets and liabilities; provisions related to commitments with pensioners; goodwill and other intangibles. It also included BBVA Puerto Rico prior to its sale, which was completed in December 2012, and the profit from discontinued operations from the sale of the pension businesses in Mexico and South America.

Set forth below is financial information for each of our current operating segments as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. We have not included below comparable information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 given the absence of readily available comparable information as of such date and for such period (as a result of our real estate department not being created until 2011 and not becoming a reportable segment until 2013).

(2) Profit/(Loss) attributed to parent company for the year ended December 31, 2011 has been affected by the goodwill impairment in the U.S. and the acquisition of Garanti, which have affected, respectively, the contribution of the United States and Eurasia operating segments.

Given the business model of the BBVA Group, the economic capital allocated to our operating segments is mainly determined by the credit risk arising from loans and advances to customers. Accordingly, changes in the amounts of allocated economic capital to each operating segment are mainly related to the evolution of such portfolios. A brief explanation of changes in the amounts of allocated economic capital to each operating segment is included in the segmental discussions that follow.

Spain

The operating segment of Spain includes all of BBVA’s banking and non-banking businesses in Spain, other than those included in the Corporate Center. The main business units included in this operating segment are:

 

    Spanish Retail Network: including the segments of individual customers, private banking, small companies and businesses in the domestic market.

 

    Corporate and Business Banking (CBB): which manages small and medium sized enterprises (“SMEs”), companies and corporations, public institutions and developer segments.

 

    Corporate and Investment Banking (C&IB): which includes business with large corporations and multinational groups and the trading floor and distribution business in Spain.

 

    Other units: which include the insurance business unit in Spain (BBVA Seguros), and the Asset Management unit, which manages Spanish mutual funds and pension funds. In addition, it includes certain portfolios, finance and structural euro balance sheet positions as described above.

The following table sets forth information relating to the activity of this operating segment for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Economic capital allocated

     12,027         8,757   

As of December 31, 2012, the balance of loans and advances to customers was €193,100 million, a 0.5% decrease from the €194,147 million recorded as of December 31, 2011, as a result of the deleveraging process and weak consumption. The general trend has been a weak turnover, with the most notable decreases recorded in the segment of higher-risk businesses and corporations, and in consumer loans.

As of December 31, 2012, our outstanding payment protection insurance policies amounted to €39 billion and insured approximately 19% of our total loans and advances to customers in Spain as of such date. Substantially all of our payment protection insurance products provide consumer or mortgage payment protection in the case of loss of life or disability (while approximately 5.5% of these products provide protection in the case of unemployment or a work-related illness). These insurance products are granted by our insurance subsidiary to borrowers within our own consumer and mortgage portfolio. Upon the occurrence of the insured event, our insurance subsidiary pays the entire outstanding principal amount, together with any accrued interest, of the related loan. Since the risk remains within the Group, we do not consider our payment protection insurance products when determining the appropriate amount of allowance for loan losses on the related loans. We account for these products as insurance contracts.

Customer deposits were €133,802 million as of December 31, 2012 compared to €109,160 million as of December 31, 2011, an increase of 22.6%, mainly due to the positive performance of time deposits held by households and companies and, to a lesser extent, the integration of Unnim Banc, S.A. (“Unnim”) in 2012.

The economic capital allocated was €12,027 million as of December 31, 2012, a 37.3% increase from the €8,757 million recorded as of December 31, 2011. This increase was mainly related to the incorporation of Unnim, the recalibration of our internal model in mid 2012 based on backtesting results and the increased market risk resulting from the application of capital requirements currently applicable to BBVA.

Real estate Activity in Spain

This new operating segment has been set up with the aim of providing specialized and structured management of the real estate assets accumulated by the Group as a result of the economic crisis in Spain. It includes mainly lending to real estate developers (which was previously included in our prior Spain segment) and foreclosed real estate assets (which were previously included in our Corporate Center).

Eurasia

This operating segment covers the business carried out in the rest of Europe and Asia, i.e., the retail and wholesale businesses of the Group in such geographic areas. It also includes BBVA’s stakes in the Turkish bank Garanti and the Chinese banks China CITIC Bank Corporation Limited (“CNCB”) and CITIC International Financial Holding Ltd. (“CIFH”).

As described under “Explanatory Note”, in accordance with the new standard set forth by IFRS 11, Garanti and entities of the Garanti Group are from January 1, 2013 accounted for using the equity method in our consolidated financial information, whereas they were accounted for under the proportionate consolidation method prior to such date.

Economic capital allocated

     4,607         4,288   

As of December 31, 2012, the loans and advances to customers was €30,228 million, a 13.0% decrease from the €34,740 million recorded as of December 31, 2011, mainly due to the reduced loan portfolio with wholesale clients, due to the deleveraging process under way in Europe as a result of difficult economic conditions.

As of December 31, 2012 customer deposits were €16,484 million, a 19.1% decrease from the €20,384 million as of December 31, 2011. While Turkey performed well, wholesale deposits in the Paris, London and Brussels branches fell as a result mainly of the difficult economic conditions in the Eurozone, which have resulted in wholesale financial markets being affected by the high volatility of the risk premiums of certain EU peripheral countries (and, correspondingly, wholesale deposit flight from banks incorporated in such countries, including BBVA) and by the successive downgrades of sovereign ratings, which have also had an impact on the ratings of the financial institutions located in such countries.

The economic capital allocated was €4,607 million as of December 31, 2012, a 7.4% increase from the €4,288 million recorded as of December 31, 2011. This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in credit activity in Turkey and the increase in the value of our stake in CNCB, which increased our equity risk.

Mexico

The Mexico operating segment comprises the banking and insurance businesses conducted in Mexico by the BBVA Bancomer financial group.

As of December 31, 2012, the balance of loans and advances to customers was €39,052 million, a 13.4% increase from the €34,450 million as of December 31, 2011 which was attributable in part to the year-on-year appreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro as of December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2012, customer deposits were €34,071 million, a 9.4% increase from the €31,130 million recorded as of December 31, 2011, which was attributable to the year-on-year appreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro as of December 31, 2012 and increased retail network activity. The retail portfolio increased by 9.6% whereas the wholesale portfolio increased by 7.4% year-on-year.

The economic capital allocated was €4,912 million as of December 31, 2012, a 17.9% increase from the €4,168 million recorded as of December 31, 2011. This increase was mainly attributable to the recalibration of our internal model in mid 2012 based on backtesting results and lending growth.

As of December 31, 2012, the loans and advances to customers were €48,721 million, a 21.2% increase from the €40,213 million recorded as of December 31, 2011. All countries in this operating segment have seen growth, with significant increases in the retail segment (where loans and advances to customers grew by 38.6% year-on-year), consumer loans and credit cards. In Venezuela, loans and advances to customers grew by almost 50% year-on-year principally as a result of increased consumer finance activity.

As of December 31, 2012, customer deposits were €56,933 million, a 26.8% increase from the €44,890 million recorded as of December 31, 2011. In 2012, there has been strong growth in lower-cost transactional items (such as checking and savings accounts), which have increased by 30.6%. In Venezuela, customer deposits grew by over 50% year-on-year.

The economic capital allocated was €3,169 million as of December 31, 2012, a 13.3% increase from the €2,798 million recorded as of December 31, 2011. This increase was principally the result of the general and strong lending growth in all the countries in the region and the appreciation of the currencies in the region against the euro.

United States

This operating segment encompasses the Group’s business in the United States. BBVA Compass accounted for approximately 95% of the area’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. Given its weight, most of the comments below refer to BBVA Compass. This operating segment also covers the assets and liabilities of the BBVA office in New York, which specializes in transactions with large corporations.

As of December 31, 2012, loans and advances to customers were €36,892 million, a 4.9% decrease from the €38,775 million recorded as of December 31, 2011, principally due to the fall in real estate construction in the United States. In 2012 we continued to aim for the selective growth of lending in BBVA Compass, with a change in the portfolio mix towards items with less cyclical risk such as loans to the commercial and industrial sector (which increased by 24.5% year-on-year) and reducing higher risk portfolios such as construction real estate loans (which decreased by 48.2% year-on-year principally as a result of the sale of certain loan portfolios).

As of December 31, 2012, customer deposits were €37,721 million, a 7.4% increase from €35,127 million as of December 31, 2011. In 2012, demand deposits grew by 12.3% and accounted for 29.1% of the customer deposits in BBVA Compass as of December 31, 2012.

The economic capital allocated was €2,638 million as of December 31, 2012, a 14.4% decrease from the €3,081 million recorded as of December 31, 2011, as a result of an increase in volume of loans with lower risk.

Changes in Net Interest Income-Volume and Rate Analysis

The following table allocates changes in our net interest income between changes in volume and changes in rate for 2012 compared to 2011, and 2011 compared to 2010. Volume and rate variance have been calculated based on movements in average balances over the period and changes in interest rates on average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities. The only out-of-period items and adjustments excluded from the following table are interest payments on loans which are made in a period other than the period during which they are due. Loan fees were included in the computation of interest income.

ASSETS

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks

As of December 31, 2012, interbank deposits represented 3.77% of our assets. Of such interbank deposits, 32% were held outside of Spain and 68% 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. Such deposits, however, 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 December 31, 2012, our securities were carried on our consolidated balance sheet at a carrying amount of €108,841 million, representing 17.5% of our assets. €35,987 million, or 33.06%, of our securities consisted of Spanish Treasury bonds and Treasury bills. The average yield during 2012 on investment securities that BBVA held was 4.4%, compared to an average yield of approximately 5.5% earned on loans and receivables during 2012. The market or appraised value of our total securities portfolio as of December 31, 2012, was €108,539 million. See Notes 10, 12 and 14 to the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements. For a discussion of our investments in affiliates, see Note 17 to the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements. For a discussion of the manner in which we value our securities, see Notes 2.2.1 and 8 to the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables analyze the carrying amount and market value of debt securities as of December 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Trading portfolio is not included in the tables below because the amortized costs and fair values of these items are the same. See Note 10 to the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of December 31, 2012, loans by BBVA and its subsidiaries to associates and jointly controlled companies amounted to €820 million, compared to €372 million as of December 31, 2011. Loans outstanding to the Spanish government and its agencies amounted to €25,408 million, or 7.2% of our total loans and advances as of December 31, 2012, compared to €25,372 million, or 7.2% of our total loans and advances as of December 31, 2011. 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 December 31, 2012, excluding government-related loans, amounted to €18,480 million or approximately 5.1% of our total outstanding loans and advances. As of December 31, 2012 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 chart above.

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 €4,107 million as of December 31, 2012 compared to €4,039 million as of December 31, 2011.

Our loan loss reserves as a percentage of total loans and advances increased to 3.8% as of December 31, 2012 from 2.5% as of December 31, 2011, principally due to the impairment of the assets related to the real state sector in Spain.

Impaired Loans

As described in Note 2.2.1) to the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements, 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 assure (in part or in full) the performance of transactions.

Amounts collected in relation to impaired loans and receivables are used to recognize the related accrued interest and any excess amount is used to reduce the principal not yet repaid. The approximate amount of interest income on our impaired loans which was included in profit attributed to parent company in 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was €228.1 million, €203.4 million, €203.5 million, €192.3 million and €149.7 million, respectively.

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

Our total impaired loans amounted to €20,001 million as of December 31, 2012, a 29.4% increase compared to €15,452 million as of December 31, 2011. This increase is mainly attributable to the increase in impaired loans in the “Other resident sector” as a result of the economic deterioration in Spain and the incorporation of Unnim. The increase is also attributable, to a lesser extent, to the increase in impaired loans in the “Non-resident sector” as a result of the ongoing deterioration of the economic situation in Portugal.

As mentioned in Note 2.2.1 to the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements, our loan loss reserve includes loss reserve for impaired assets and loss reserve for not impaired assets but which present an inherent loss. As of December 31, 2012, the loss reserve for impaired assets amounted to €9,394 million, a 53.1% increase compared to €6,137 million as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, the loss reserve for not impaired assets amounted to €4,764 million, a 65.9% increase compared to €2,871 million as of December 31, 2011. These increases in our loss reserve for impaired assets and loss reserve for not impaired assets are due to the deterioration of the real estate sector in Spain.

The following table provides information, by domicile and type of customer, regarding our impaired loans and the loan loss reserves to customers taken for each impaired loan category, as of December 31, 2012.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

As of December 31, 2012, “troubled debt restructurings” totaling €11,661 million were not considered impaired loans. For additional information on our restructured or renegotiated loans, see Appendix X to our Recast Consolidated Financial Statements.

Potential Problem Loans

The identification of “Potential problem loans” is based on the analysis of historical delinquency rates trends, categorized by products/clients and geographical locations. This analysis is focused on the identification of portfolios with delinquency rates higher than our average delinquency rates. 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 delinquency rate in our domestic real estate and construction portfolio was 26.2% as of December 31, 2012, substantially higher than the average delinquency rate for all of our domestic activities (7.2%) and the average delinquency rate for all of our consolidated activities (5.2%) as of such date. Within such portfolio, construction loans and property development loans (which exclude mainly infrastructure and civil construction) had a delinquency rate of 28.1% as of such date. Given such delinquency rate, we performed an analysis in order to define the level of loan provisions attributable to these loan portfolios (see Note 2.2.1 to our Recast Consolidated Financial Statements). The table below sets forth additional information on our “Potential problem loans” as of December 31, 2012:

Foreign Country Outstandings

The following table sets forth, as of the end of the years 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 December 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. 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 and United States.

The Bank of Spain requires that minimum reserves be maintained for cross-border risk arising with respect to loans and other outstandings to countries, or residents of countries, falling into certain categories established by the Bank of Spain on the basis of the level of perceived transfer risk. The category that a country falls into is determined by us, subject to review by the Bank of Spain.

The following table shows the minimum required reserves with respect to each category of country for BBVA’s level of coverage as of December 31, 2012.

Bankrupt countries (4)

     100.0   

 

(1) Any outstanding which is guaranteed may be treated, for the purposes of the foregoing, as if it were an obligation of the guarantor.

 

44


(2) Coverage for the aggregate of these three categories (countries with transitory difficulties, doubtful countries and very doubtful countries) must equal at least 35% of outstanding loans within the three categories. The Bank of Spain has recommended up to 50% aggregate coverage.
(3) Outstandings to very doubtful countries are treated as impaired under Bank of Spain regulations.
(4) Outstandings to bankrupt countries must be charged off immediately. As a result, no such outstandings are reflected on our consolidated balance sheet. Notwithstanding the foregoing minimum required reserves, certain interbank outstandings with an original maturity of three months or less have minimum required reserves of 50%. We met or exceeded the minimum percentage of required coverage with respect to each of the foregoing categories.

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 €269 million, €363 million and €311 million as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These figures do not reflect loan loss reserves of 14.3%, 12.4%, and 11.6% respectively, against the relevant amounts outstanding at such dates. Deposits with or loans to borrowers in all such countries as of December 31, 2012 did not in the aggregate exceed 0.1% of our total assets.

The country-risk exposures described in the preceding paragraph as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 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 December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $47 million, $58 million and $44 million, respectively (approximately €36 million, €45 million and €33 million, respectively, based on a euro/dollar exchange rate on December 31, 2012 of $1.00 = €0.76, on December 31, 2011 of $1.00 = €0.77, and on December 31, 2010 of $1.00 = €0.75).

Time deposits from Spanish and foreign financial institutions amounted to €30,022 million as of December 31, 2012, substantially all of which were in excess of $100,000 (approximately €75,838 considering the noon buying rate as of December 31, 2012).

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 December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, see Note 23 to the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements.

The changes in our consolidated income statements for 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

Net interest income

The following table summarizes the principal components of net interest income for 2012 compared to 2011.

 

     Year Ended
December 31,
       
     2012     2011     Change  
     (In Millions of Euros)     (In %)  

Interest and similar income

     24,815        23,229        6.8   

Interest expense and similar charges

     (10,341     (10,505     (1.6
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

Net interest income

     14,474        12,724        13.8   
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

Net interest income increased 13.8% to €14,474 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from €12,724 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 due to the reduction of the cost of deposits in Spain, Mexico and South America and strong business activity in Mexico and South America. These positive effects were partially offset by the performance of the Unites States, where net interest income continued to be negatively affected by the Guaranty run-off, lower business volume in Corporate Investment Banking, and the current environment of low interest rates with a practically flat curve.

Dividend income

Dividend income decreased 30.6% to €390 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from €562 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease was primarily due to the year-on-year decrease in the dividends received from Telefónica, S.A., which decreased from €1.52 per share in 2011 to €0.53 per share in 2012. Telefónica, S.A. has publicly announced that it will pay no dividends until November 2013.

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

Share of profit or loss of entities accounted for using the equity method increased 32% to €1,039 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from €787 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was mainly attributable to the fact that we accounted for the profit of Garanti for the full year ended December 31, 2012, compared with only nine months for the year ended December 31, 2011. To a lesser extend to the increased profit of CNCB.

Fee and commission income

Fee and commission income increased by 8.5% to €5,290 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from €4,874 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 due principally to greater business activity in Mexico and South America, where credit and debit cards commissions increased by 8.1% and 41.8% respectively.

Fee and commission expenses

The breakdown of fee and commission expenses for 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

     2012      2011      Change

Fee and commission expenses

     1,134         980         15.7   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

Fee and commission expenses increased by 15.7% to €1,134 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from €980 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to the greater business activity in Mexico and South America.

Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities and exchange differences

Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities increased by 52.9% to €1,636 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from €1,070 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase is mainly attributable to the increase in the net gains on “Available-for-sale financial assets”, which reflects the capital gains derived from the repurchase of securitization bonds and subordinated debt (which has generated gross capital gains of approximately €444 million) and, to a lesser extent, the capital gains derived from the sale of public debt in South America. In addition, net gains on “Loans and receivables” increased by 88.9% from €27 million in 2011 to €51 million in 2012, primarily due to the higher activity on loan sales mainly in Mexico and South America. These increases were partially offset by the 37.9% year-on-year decrease in the net gains on “Financial assets held for trading”, which was primarily due to the turbulences in the markets which resulted in lower intermediation income in Spain and Mexico.

Net exchange differences decreased to €69 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from €410 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, due primarily to the evolution of foreign currencies.

Other operating income and expenses

Other operating income amounted to €4,765 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 a 13.1% increase compared to €4,212 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, due primarily to increased income derived from insurance and reinsurance contracts.

Other operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012, amounted to €4,705 million, a 17.1% increase compared to the €4,019 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011 due primarily to higher contributions to deposit guarantee funds in the countries in which we operate and to increased provisions related to insurance and reinsurance contracts.

Administration costs

Administration costs comprise personnel expenses and general and administrative expenses and for the year ended December 31, 2012 were €9,396 million, an 8.8% increase from the €8,634 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011, due primarily to the investments made to implement our expansion and technological transformation plans and, to a lesser extent, to the acquisition of Unnim in the second half of 2012.

The table below provides a breakdown of personnel expenses for 2012 and 2011.

     3,929         3,581         9.7   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

Technology and systems expenses increased from €639 million in 2011 to €735 million in 2012. In recent years, we have undertaken significant investments in global technology projects, particularly in the area of transformation and innovation. We started up a number of projects in 2012, including the implementation of the new BBVA Compass technological platform in all our branches in the United States. Progress has also been made in the Group’s multichannel distribution model.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to €978 million a 20.7% increase compared to €810 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011, due primarily to the amortization of software and tangible assets for own use.

Provisions (net)

Provisions (net) for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to €641 million, a 27.4% increase compared to €503 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily to cover early retirement benefits, other allocations to pension funds and transfers to provisions for contingent liabilities.

Impairment losses on financial assets (net)

Impairment losses on financial assets (net) for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to €7,859 million, an 87.8% increase compared to the €4,185 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase is mainly due to the increase of provisions in connection with assets related to the real estate business in Spain to cover the additional impairment in the value of such assets owing to the worsening macroeconomic conditions in Spain. The Group’s non-performing assets ratio was 5.1% as of December 31, 2012, compared to 4.0% as of December 31, 2011.

Impairment losses on other assets (net)

Impairment losses on other assets (net) for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to €1,123 million, a 40.4% decrease compared to the €1,883 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011, when an impairment in goodwill of €1,444 million was registered. However, impairments losses on real estate inventories were higher in 2012 than in 2011, as a result of the continuing deterioration of the value of these assets.

Gains (losses) on derecognized assets not classified as non-current assets held for sale

Gains (losses) on derecognized assets not classified as non-current assets held for sale for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to a gain of €3 million, a 93.2% decrease compared to €44 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

52


Negative goodwill

Negative goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2012 amounted to a gain of €376 million, compared with no gain for the year ended December 31, 2011. Negative goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2012 was derived from the acquisition of Unnim. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Capital Expenditures—2012—Acquisition of Unnim” in our 2012 Form 20-F and Note 20.1 to our Recast Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Gains (losses) in non-current assets held for sale not classified as discontinued operations

Gains (losses) in non-current assets held for sale not classified as discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2012, amounted to a loss of €624 million, compared to a loss of €271 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily due to the higher provisions made in connection with real estate foreclosed assets in Spain and sales of these assets which amounted to a loss of €83 million in 2012 compared to a gain of €127 million in 2011.

Operating profit before tax

As a result of the foregoing, operating profit before tax for the year ended December 31, 2012 was €1,582 million, a 53.4% decrease from the €3,398 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Income tax

Income tax for the year ended December 31, 2012 was a benefit of €352 million, compared to an expense of €158 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011, due to lower operating profit before tax, the higher proportion of revenues with low or zero tax rates (primarily dividends and equity accounted earnings), the higher proportion of results coming from Latin America, which carry a lower effective tax rate, and the higher provisions made with respect to real estate assets.

Profit from continuing operations

As a result of the foregoing, profit from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 was €1,934 million, a 40.3% decrease from the €3,240 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Profit from discontinued operations (net)

Profit from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 was €393 million, a 60.4% increase from the €245 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011, due to increased activity in the insurance and pension business. See “Item 4. Information on the Company—History and Development of the Company—Capital Divestitures—2013” and “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operations Results—Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Divestment of the Pension Business in Latin America” in our 2012 Form 20-F.

Profit

As a result of the foregoing, profit for the year ended December 31, 2012 was €2,327 million, a 33.2% decrease from the €3,485 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Profit attributed to parent company

Profit attributed to parent company for the year ended December 31, 2012 was €1,676 million, a 44.2% decrease from the €3,004 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Profit attributed to non-controlling interests

Profit attributed to non-controlling interests for the year ended December 31, 2012 was €651 million, a 35.3% increase over the €481 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011, principally due to the positive performance of our Venezuelan and Peruvian operations where there are significant minority shareholders.

The changes in our consolidated income statements for 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Net interest income

The following table summarizes the principal components of net interest income for 2011 compared to 2010.

 

     Year Ended December 31,        
     2011     2010     Change  
     (In Millions of Euros)     (In %)  

Interest and similar income

     23,229        21,130        9.9   

Interest and similar expense

     (10,505     (7,814     34.4   
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

Net interest income

     12,724        13,316        (4.4
  

 

 

   

 

 

   

Net interest income decreased 4.4% to €12,724 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from €13,316 million for year ended December 31, 2010, due mainly to the upturn in interest rates in the Eurozone in the 2011, which affected liability costs to a greater extent, and a faster impact, than the return on assets. The decrease in net interest income was also the result of the extremely complex environment in which it was produced, with restricted lending activity in Spain and more expensive wholesale funding due to the increased spread paid for Spain’s risk. The decrease in net interest income was modestly offset by the increased volume of business and sound price management in South America.

Dividend income

Dividend income increased 6.2% to €562 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from €529 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, due primarily to dividends from Telefónica, S.A.

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

Share of profit or loss of entities accounted for using the equity method increased to €787 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from €331 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to the increased profit of CNCB and the profit of Garanti (in which we acquired a stake in March 2011).

Fee and commission income

The breakdown of fee and commission income for 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

 

     Year Ended December 31,

The breakdown of fee and commission expenses for 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

 

     Year Ended December 31,         
     2011      2010      Change  
     (In Millions of Euros)      (In %)

Fee and commission expenses

     980         831         17.9   
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

Fee and commission expenses increased 17.9% to €980 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from €831 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to the increase in fees and commissions assigned to third party banking services, specifically credit and debit cards, and other fees and commissions.

Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities and exchange differences

Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities decreased by 22% to €1,070 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from €1,372 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to declines in the value of assets as a result of market prices evolution, reduced customer activity and the absence of earnings from portfolio sales.

Net exchange differences decreased 9.9% to €410 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 from €455 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. In the first half of 2011, the euro appreciated against the U.S. dollar due to the increasing spread between interest rates; however, in the second half of the year, the European debt crisis weakened the euro’s position. The combination of a stronger euro and the relative strength of emerging currencies against the U.S. dollar resulted in a generally unfavorable performance.

 

56


Other operating income and expenses

Other operating income amounted to €4,212 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a 19.1% increase compared to €3,537 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, due primarily to increased income derived from insurance and reinsurance contracts.

Other operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011, amounted to €4,019 million, a 24.0% increase compared to the €3,240 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2010 due primarily to higher contributions to deposit guarantee funds in the countries in which we operate and to increased provisions related to insurance and reinsurance contracts.

Administration costs

Administration costs comprise personnel expenses and general and administrative expenses and for the year ended December 31, 2011 were €8,634 million, an 7.8% increase from the €8,007 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2010, due primarily to the Group’s growth and expansion plans. Progress continues to be made in developing customer products and segments in franchises operating in emerging countries and in extending banking penetration to take advantage of economic growth. In contrast, in developed markets, BBVA focuses on improving customer relations and distribution efficiency. Additionally, investment in technology, personnel and brand awareness continues in the Bank as a whole.

Provisions (net)

Provisions (net) for the year ended December 31, 2011 amounted to €503 million, a 5.9% increase compared to €475 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily to cover early retirement benefits, other allocations to pension funds and transfers to provisions for contingent liabilities.

During the second half of 2012 we embarked on various negotiations for the sale of our pension business in South America and, in late 2012, we entered into an agreement for the sale of our stake in the Colombian company BBVA Horizonte Sociedad Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones y Cesantías S.A.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity risk management and controls are explained in Note 7.3 to the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, information on outstanding contractual maturities of assets and liabilities is provided in Note 7.5 to the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements. For information concerning our short-term borrowing, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—Selected Statistical Information—LIABILITIES—Short-term Borrowings”.

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.

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 entity level at each of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. and our banking subsidiaries, including BBVA Compass, BBVA Bancomer and our Latin American subsidiaries. The only exception to this principle is Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (Portugal), S.A., which is funded by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (Portugal), S.A. represented 0.94% of our total consolidated assets and 0.54% of our total consolidated liabilities, as of December 31, 2012.

Our principal source of funds is our customer deposit base, which consists primarily of demand, savings and time deposits. In addition to relying on our customer deposits, we also access the interbank market (overnight and time deposits) and domestic and international capital markets for our additional liquidity requirements. To access the capital markets, we have in place a series of domestic and international programs for the issuance of commercial paper and medium- and long-term debt. We also generally maintain a diversified liquidity pool of liquid assets and securitized assets at an individual entity level (except with respect to Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (Portugal), S.A.). Another source of liquidity is our generation of cash flow from our operations. Finally, we supplement our funding requirements with borrowings from the Bank of Spain and from the European Central Bank (“ECB”) or the respective central banks of the countries where our subsidiaries are located. See Note 9 to the Recast Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our borrowings from central banks.

The table below shows the types and amounts of securities included within the liquidity pool of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (Portugal), S.A. and each of our significant subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012:

The increase from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012 was primarily caused by an increase in fixed-term deposits in the domestic sector.

The increase as of December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011, was related to increased deposits from central banks, mainly from the ECB long-term financing.

Generation of Cash Flow

We operate in Spain, Mexico, 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 minimum capital requirements. The obligation to satisfy such capital 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 therefor. 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 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 minimum capital requirements are met and funds are legally available therefore, 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, could help to limit the effect on the Group 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.
