PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Accounting Principles

BBVA’s consolidated annual and interim financial statements are 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.

The financial information included in this report on Form 6-K is unaudited and has been prepared by applying EU-IFRS required to be applied under the Bank of Spain’s Circular 4/2004 and in compliance with IFRS-IASB on a consistent basis with that applied to BBVA’s consolidated annual and interim financial statements.

Table of Contents

The Group has implemented the new accounting standards set out in IFRS 10 and 11 since January 1, 2013. The impact of the implementation of IFRS 10 has been not material. Under the new standard set forth by IFRS 11, which supersedes SIC 13 “Jointly Controlled Entities” 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 AŞ. (“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. In order to present financial information on a consistent basis, the balance sheet information as of December 31, 2012 (unaudited) and June 30, 2012 (unaudited) and the income statement information for the six months ended June 30, 2012 (unaudited) and 2011 (unaudited) included in this report, have been recast as if such standards had been applicable as of such dates and the beginning of such periods, respectively. Columns in tables that present recast financial information show an “R” behind the relevant column header.

While changes to IFRS 12 and IAS 19 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 financial information by operating segment has been recast to reflect our current reporting structure. As a result of the business segment restructuring carried out in 2013, the assets and results pertaining to the real estate business in Spain are now presented under a separate segment, Real Estate Activity in Spain. The creation of this new segment has affected our Spain operating segment and the Corporate Center (formerly, Corporate Activities). In accordance with IFRS 8, the analysis of the Eurasia business segment follows management criteria, which includes 25.01% of the assets, liabilities and income statement of Garanti.

This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s report on Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 4, 2013 which contains, among other information, our recast audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2012 on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 2, 2013.

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been presented in a format which differs from that required by the SEC for the consolidated financial statements of bank holding companies.

Operating segments

As mentioned in Note 6 to our Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been some changes in the reporting structure of the BBVA Group’s operating segments in 2013 in order to reflect the increasingly geographical orientation of the Group’s reporting structure. Consequently, 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 segment (which is currently denominated the ‘Corporate Center’) are now part of our Banking Activity in Spain operating segment.

In addition, because of the particular nature of their management, the assets and results pertaining to the real estate business in Spain are presented separately under a separate segment: Real Estate Activity in Spain. This covers lending to real estate developers (previously integrated in our former Spain segment) and foreclosed real estate assets which were included in Corporate Activities in the years prior to 2013.

Nevertheless, operating segments data relating to June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2012 contained in this report has been presented on a uniform basis consistent with our organizational structure in 2013 to ensure like-for-like comparisons (see “Business Overview”).

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 period. 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.

(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, 2013 and 2012, respectively, net interest income is annualized by multiplying the net interest income for the period by two.
(2) Represents profit attributed to parent company as a percentage of average total assets. In order to calculate “Return on average total assets” for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, profit attributed to parent company is annualized by multiplying the profit attributed to parent company for the period by two.
(3) Represents profit attributed to parent company as a percentage of average equity. In order to calculate “Return on average equity” for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, profit attributed to parent company is annualized by multiplying the profit attributed to parent company for the period by two.
(4) Includes impairment losses on loans and receivables to credit institutions, loans and advances to customers and debt securities. See Note 13 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
(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 6.2% as of June 30, 2013, 5.7% as of December 31, 2012, and 4.5% as of June 30, 2012.

Exchange Rates

Spain’s currency is the Euro. Unless otherwise indicated, the amounts that have been converted to Euro in this report have been done so at the corresponding exchange rate published by the European Central Bank (“ECB”) at the end of each relevant period.

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 dollars per €1.00. 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.

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 the six months ended June 30, 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 segment (which is currently denominated the ‘Corporate Center’ segment) are now part of our Banking Activity in 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 former Spain segment) and foreclosed real estate assets (which were previously included in our Corporate Activities segment).

As a result, our current operating segments are as follows:

 

    Banking Activity in Spain “Spain”)

 

    Real Estate Activity in Spain

 

    Eurasia

 

    Mexico

 

    South America

 

    United States

Table of Contents

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.

Nevertheless, operating segments data relating to the six months ended June 30, 2012 and as of December 31, 2012 contained in this report has been presented on a uniform basis consistent with our organizational structure in 2013 to ensure like-for-like comparisons.

The breakdown of the BBVA Group’s total assets by operating segments as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is as follows:

As for the asset quality of BBVA’s portfolio in Spain, the NPA ratio as of June 30, 2013 was 4.7%, compared to 4.1% as of December 31, 2012. This is due to the difficult economic situation in the country and the deleveraging process underway. The coverage ratio (defined as loan loss reserve divided by total impaired loans) as of June 30, 2013 was 43% compared to 48% as of December 31, 2012.

Customer deposits stood at €144,468 million as of June 30, 2013, 8.0% higher than as of December 31, 2012, as a result of the positive performance of time deposits held by households and companies due to our strong distribution network and its customer-centric management model based on long lasting customer relationships.

With respect to off-balance sheet assets, mutual funds totaled €19,651 million as of June 30, 2013, 2.8% higher than the €19,116 million recorded as of December 31, 2012. Pension funds, amounted to €19,272 million as of June 30, 2013, 3.7% higher than the €18,577 million recorded as of December 31, 2012.

Table of Contents

The economic capital allocated was €10,928 million as of June 30, 2013, a 9.1% decrease from the €12,027 million recorded as of December 31, 2012. This decrease was mainly related to the recalibration of our internal model in mid-2012 based on backtesting results.

Real Estate Activity in Spain

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

This operating segment had total assets of €21,864 million as of June 30, 2013, compared to €21,923 million as of December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2013, loans and advances to customers amounted to €11,508 million, while customer deposits amounted to €155 million.

Eurasia

This operating segment covers the Group’s activity in Europe (excluding Spain) and Asia. Accordingly, it includes BBVA Portugal, Consumer Finance Italy and Portugal, the retail business of branches in Paris, London and Brussels, and the retail and wholesale activity carried out within the various regions comprised in this business segment. It also includes the Group’s equity-accounting holdings in Garanti, China CITIC Bank Corporation Limited (“CNCB”) and CITIC International Financial Holding Ltd. (“CIFH”).

In accordance with IFRS 8, the analysis of the Eurasia business segment follows management criteria, which includes 25.01% of the assets, liabilities and income statement of Garanti.

As of June 30, 2013, the balance of loans and advances to customers stood at €30,167 million, down 0.2% on the €30,228 million posted as of December 31, 2012. The decrease was mainly due to the reduced loan portfolio with wholesale clients due to the deleveraging process under way in Europe and the exchange rate impact of the depreciation of the Turkish Lira. This decrease was partially offset by lending activity in the retail business in Turkey, which increased by 17.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

As of June 30, 2013, customer deposits stood at €16,510 million, in line with the €16,484 million as of December 31, 2012.

The economic capital allocated was €4,598 million as of June 30, 2013, up from the €4,607 million recorded as of December 31, 2012.

As of June 30, 2013, the balance of loans and advances to costumers stood at €40,343 million, up 3.3% on the €39,052 million at December 31, 2012.

Customer deposits as of June 30, 2013 amounted to €42,329 million, a 4.8% increase compared to €40,404 million as of December 31, 2012. This increase was attributable in part to an increase in demand deposits in the retail segment. Such increase was partially offset by a 4.1% decline in time deposits, due in part to our customers’ switch from time deposits to mutual funds and investment portfolios, which rose by 4.0% in the first half of 2013 to €17,958 million as of June 30, 2013.

The balance at June 30, 2013 of off balance sheet funds (includes mutual funds, pension funds and managed portfolios of clients) amounted to €17,958 million with a growth of 2.7% from €17,492 million at December 31, 2012.

The economic capital allocated was €4,595 million as of June 30, 2013, a 6.5% decrease from the €4,912 million recorded as of December 31, 2012, as a result of an increase in volume of loans with lower risk.

South America

South America currently includes the banking and insurance businesses that BBVA carries out in the region. Prior to 2013, this segment also included our pension business in the region. At the close of the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Group had signed an agreement for the sale of our pension business in Chile (this sale has closed in early October 2013.) and in April 2013 we closed the sale of our pension businesses in Colombia and Peru. For presentation purposes, these pension businesses are included in the Corporate Center.

As of June 30, 2013, loans and advances to costumers stood at €46,548 million, down 4.5% on the €48,721 million recorded as of December 31, 2012 due to decreased activity in the retail segment mainly in consumer finance and credit cards.

Customer deposits as of June 30, 2013 were €55,560 million, a 2.4% decrease compared to December 31, 2012, mainly due to the decrease of current and savings accounts.

Off-balance sheet funds stood at €6,348 million, a 1.4% decrease compared to December 31, 2012, as a result of the 10% decrease in mutual funds. This decrease was partially offset by the growth of our pension business, which represented 52% of our off-balance sheet funds as of June 30, 2013 and grew by 8% in the first half of 2013 due in part to the exchange rate impact

The economic capital allocated was €3,151 million as of June 30, 2013, compared to the €3,169 million recorded as of December 31, 2012.

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 the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. 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 June 30, 2013, interbank deposits represented 3.92% of our assets. Of such interbank deposits, 31.89% were held outside of Spain and 68.11% 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 June 30, 2013, our securities were carried on our consolidated balance sheet at a carrying amount of €113,209 million, representing 18.8% of our assets. €38,147 million, or 33.7%, of our securities consisted of Spanish Treasury bonds and Treasury bills. The average yield for the six months ended June 30, 2013 on investment securities that BBVA held was 3.9%, compared to an average yield of approximately 5.1% earned on loans and receivables for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The market or appraised value of our total securities portfolio as of June 30, 2013, was €113,159 million. See Notes 10, 12 and 14 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For

As of June 30, 2013, loans by BBVA and its subsidiaries to associates and jointly controlled companies amounted to €772 million, compared to €820 million as of December 31, 2012. Loans outstanding to the Spanish government and its agencies amounted to €26,069 million, or 7.4% of our total loans and advances as of June 30, 2013, compared to €25,407 million, or 7.2% of our total loans and advances as of December 31, 2012. 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, 2013, excluding government-related loans, amounted to €17,259 million or approximately 4.9% of our total outstanding loans and advances. As of June 30, 2013 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 and Interest Sensitivity

The following table sets forth an analysis by maturity of our total loans and advances by domicile of the office that issued the loan and type of customer as of June 30, 2013. The determination of maturities is based on contract terms.

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 €1,954 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to €2,108 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Our loan loss reserves as a percentage of total loans and receivables increased to 3.9% as of June 30, 2013 from 3.8% as of December 31, 2012, and 2.7% as of June 30, 2012.

Impaired Loans

As described in Note 2.2.1 to the Interim 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 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was €139.7 million and €105.2 million, respectively.

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 31.6% as of June 30, 2013, substantially higher than the average delinquency rate for all of our domestic activities (8.1%) and the average delinquency rate for all of our consolidated activities (5.6%) 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 33.8% 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 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements). The table below sets forth additional information on our “Potential problem loans” as of June 30, 2013:

Foreign Country Outstandings

The following table sets forth, as of each of the dates 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012. 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 June 30, 2013.

 

Categories(1)

  Minimum Percentage of Coverage
(Outstandings Within Category)
 

Countries belonging to the OECD whose currencies are listed in the Spanish foreign exchange market

    0.0   

Countries with transitory difficulties(2)

    10.1   

Doubtful countries(2)

    22.8   

Very doubtful countries(2)(3)

    83.5   

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.
(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 €291 million and €269 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These figures do not reflect loan loss reserves of 14.8% and 13.8% respectively, against the relevant amounts outstanding at such dates. Deposits with or loans to borrowers in all such countries as of June 30, 2013 did not in the aggregate exceed 0.1% of our total assets.

The country-risk exposures described in the preceding paragraph as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 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, 2013 and December 31, 2012 amounted to $56 million and $47 million, respectively (approximately €43 million and €36 million, respectively, based on a Euro/dollar exchange rate on June 30, 2013 of $1.00 = €0.76 and December 31, 2012 of $1.00 = €0.76).

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.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

Overview

In 2012, the global economy has grown just over 3%, a year-on-year growth rate which is slightly lower than the average for the last three decades (3.5%). This slowdown in world growth is largely due to further flaring up of financial tensions in developed countries. After the U.S. Federal Reserve´s announcement that it will withdraw its monetary policies, depending on the evolution of the economy, international financial environment has become more restrictive. At the same time, emerging economies continue to decelerate, but still show robust growth rates.

Europe is on the road toward more solid -but not as quick- economic and monetary union. Many events have occurred in 2012 which have triggered unease in the markets. First, uncertainties about how to reach fiscal austerity targets without hampering growth. Second, uncertainties arising from the state of the financial system in certain countries, where it is subject to pressure due to lack of growth and suspicion spreading about the solvency of government and government agencies. Lastly, the degree of commitment of certain countries toward the common European project, which at some points prompted fears of a break-up of the Euro (fears which were later largely dispelled). More recently, doubts have risen about the degree of commitment on the banking and fiscal union project. This notwithstanding, the Recovery and Resolution Directive and the Deposit Guarantee Schemes (DGS) were taken in front of the European Parliament in June 2013 and it is expected that they will be approved by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, the Spanish economy has been the focus of financial tensions, at their highest in spring 2012, when spreads were at their widest, while access to finance from the different sectors of the wholesale markets was severely restricted. However, important steps forward have also been taken. On the one hand, measures have been taken to meet fiscal targets through a combination of tax hikes and reduced public spending. There was some progress made in this respect in the latter part of 2012, and in 2013 the public administration reform was announced to reinforce this trend, keeping tax data in the expected correction line. Second, the Spanish financial restructuring process is almost complete. For that purpose, the Spanish economy has obtained an advantageous credit facility from the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), enabling it to recapitalize institutions with solvency problems in stress scenarios, these entities transferred their real estate assets to the “bad bank” (SAREB). In addition, critical structural reforms have also been implemented, such as in the labor market, thereby increasing the growth capacity of the Spanish economy. Spain has also benefited from decisions taken within the European Union framework, particularly in terms of the start-up of the ESM and the ECB’s commitment toward supporting the financing of Spanish sovereign debt through the purchase of Spanish government debt once the authorities agree to request funds from the ESM. Overall, with the measures taken by the Spanish authorities and the support from Euro zone measures, there has been a partial easing of financial tensions, despite the economic contraction (by -1.4%) in 2012, following on growth of a mere 0.4% the previous year. In 2013 the growth aims at rates similar to those of 2012.

Economic recovery continued in the United States throughout 2012, albeit at a slower pace than that reported in similar cyclical stages in the past. In fact, although GDP has grown in the region by around 2%, there has been a marked slowdown in the latter part of the year. Private demand remained feeble throughout the period, due to the

 

30


Table of Contents

high levels of uncertainty abroad and also doubt about the resolution of the fiscal cliff, meaning the automatic activation of a program of tax hikes and spending cuts that might be on a sufficient scale to push the U.S. economy into recession. However, there has been a certain degree of recovery in some sections of economic activity, such as the housing market. At the same time, monetary policy has helped to keep expectations positive through a new quantitative easing program and the commitment toward continuing with a low interest rate scenario for the time it takes to reduce the unemployment rate. In 2013 it was announced that the stimulus would be removed (Quantitative Easing), but gradually and depending on the economic trend. Although markets reacted intensely at first, it is not expected that rate hikes will occur until a later time.

Emerging economies are not immune to the global deterioration, but they continue to report significant growth rates. Emerging markets in both Latin America and Asia have felt the effects of the global financial tensions and the stagnation in the developed economies, even though domestic demand in these countries has remained sound. Exports, however, have been adversely affected. As a result, growth in Latin America slowed to around 3% in 2012 (due particularly to the poor performance in Brazil), while Asia (not including China) has grown a few tenths of a point below 4%.

Despite the weakness shown by its main foreign market (United States), the Mexican economy has reported above-average growth rates in the region and has also outstripped its own average for the last decade. Growth has continued close to 2011 levels, at around 4% in 2012 to moderate at the beginning of 2013. This is largely due to sound domestic demand, underpinned by the rise in employment and the availability of credit, but also to the greater foreign competitiveness of the Mexican economy. Although Mexican inflation stood above the target set by the Central Bank in 2012 (3%), this was due to temporary factors affecting the prices of certain products which were later corrected in 2013. The outlook is for monetary policy to be maintained until the end of the year, when a rate cut cannot be ruled out.

In South America, growth has been hampered by Brazil, which has hovered around stagnation during most of 2012. In most South American countries, however, growth was even higher than expected, despite the deterioration abroad, given that commodity prices have remained high and financial tensions have eased. In this context, both consumption and investment have continued to be shored up by the strength of the labor and credit markets and by still expansive monetary policies. However, in 2013 the activity has showed signs of weakness and capital inflows were partially reversed by external and internal factors. Especially negative has been the evolution of Venezuela, where growth could be negative this year. The greatest risks for the region come from a slowdown in China and a fall in the price of raw materials.

The gentle slowdown which China has been experiencing for some time, largely due to the economic policy measures taken to minimize the risks of overheating, has been heightened as the environment abroad has weakened. This has sparked fears of a hard landing for the Chinese economy. Nevertheless, the economy has stabilized in the latter part of 2012 and the authorities have stated that they will continue to use both monetary policy and fiscal stimulus measures to keep China’s growth at acceptable levels. However, GDP slowed to 7.6% in 2012 (from rates of between 9% and 10% in the three preceding years), and in 2013 the activity has continued to show signs of weakness (for smaller investments and exports), to which national leaders have not reacted.

Lastly, Turkey has been affected by European tensions, not only in its financial markets, but also from the knock-on effect of lack of external demand. Activity has also slowed down due to the measures taken to correct the imbalances accumulated on Turkey’s current account and in inflation. Even so, Turkey grew by 3% in 2012. The authorities are continuing to push through measures designed to reduce the economy’s traditional imbalances (such as energy dependence), and there are signs of improvement in the external deficit. However, during 2013, social unrest and political conflicts in the region, a fall in capital inflows and higher funding costs could worsen slightly the stage.

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

Trends in Exchange Rates

In the currency markets, the Euro depreciated significantly against the U.S. Dollar in the first half of the 2012 due to the heightened perception of risk with respect to the European debt crisis. Nonetheless, the steps taken by the ECB during the summer of 2012 to reduce fragmentation in the Euro zone’s financial markets helped strengthen the Euro in the second half of the year. Nevertheless, the Euro suffered a 7.7% annual average depreciation against the U.S. Dollar. Subsequently, the pre-announcement in 2013 of the withdrawal of extraordinary liquidity of the Federal Reserve has hit the markets, but it is still expected that the U.S. Dollar will continue to appreciate in the short term. Currency movements against the U.S. Dollar in the emerging countries have also been determined by the increase or decrease in perceived risk. The market expectations for both a withdrawal of monetary stimulus in the U.S. earlier than expected, and a larger slowdown in the Chinese economy, represented a generalized depreciation of the exchange rates in emerging economies. Going forward, to the extent that there is some optimism about the behavior of capital flows in emerging economies, it is expected that the trend will follow a slight depreciation in 2013 and 2014, contained in part by the central banks. 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 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, the Turkish lira and the Chinese Yuan against the Euro, expressed in local currency per €1.00 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 according to the European Central Bank (“ECB”).

Table of Contents

Net interest income decreased 2.3% to €6,899 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from €7,061 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, mainly due to the decrease in the yield on loans, as a result of the difficult economic conditions in Spain, characterized by a low lending activity and pressure on margins, which was higher than the decline in the cost of deposits.

Dividend income

Dividend income decreased 80.7% to €65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from €337 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the dividends received from investments managed by our Global Markets area.

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 decreased by 24.9% to €407 million as of June 30, 2013 compared to the €542 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2012, mainly due to the decreased profits of CNCB for such period.

Technology and systems expenses increased 18.6% to €401 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to €338 million in the six months ended June 30, 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.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to €535 million a 20.2% increase compared to €445 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2012, due primarily to the amortization of software and tangible assets for own use.

Provisions (net)

Provisions (net) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 stood at €273 million, a 19.7% increase from the €228 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily to cover early retirement benefits and other allocations to pension funds.

Impairment losses on financial assets (net)

Impairment losses on financial assets (net) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was €2,635 million, compared to the €3,235 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease is due to the fact that during 2013 there were lower write-downs to address the deterioration of the loans related to real estate in Spain. This operating segment’s non-performing asset ratio increased to 5.6% as of June 30, 2013 from 5.2% as of December 31, 2012.

Impairment losses on other assets (net)

Impairment losses on other assets (net) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 amounted to €214 million, a 20.4% decrease compared to the €269 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

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

This increase was mainly due to the capital gains generated by the VIF (Value of In-Force) monetization transaction entered into by BBVA Seguros and SCOR Global Life Reinsurance Ireland plc. (“SCOR”), pursuant to which SCOR assumed a quota share of 90% of the majority of BBVA Seguros’ single premium and regular premium business in Spain (consisting mainly of life risk insurance policies). BBVA Seguros received a reinsurance commission of approximately €630 million before tax from SCOR.

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 six months ended June 30, 2013, amounted to a loss of €309 million, compared to a loss of €287 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to the higher provisions made in connection with real estate foreclosed assets in Spain.

Operating profit before tax

As a result of the foregoing, operating profit before tax for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was €2,498 million, a 35.5% increase from the €1,844 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Profit from continuing operations

As a result of the foregoing, profit from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was €1,897 million, a 14.2% decrease from the €1,661 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Profit from discontinued operations (net) for the six months ended June 30, 2013 stood at €1,393 million compared to €171 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity risk management and controls are explained in Note 7.3 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, information on outstanding contractual maturities of assets and liabilities is provided in Note 7.5 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For information concerning our short-term borrowing, see “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 0.95% of our total consolidated assets and 0.57% of our total consolidated liabilities, as of June 30, 2013.

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 Interim 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 June 30, 2013:

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.

See Note 53 of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Capital

Our estimated capital ratios and their related components are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these metrics provide useful information to investors and others by measuring our progress against regulatory capital standards. Our estimated capital ratios are based on our interpretation, expectations and understanding of the respective requirements, and are necessarily subject to further regulatory clarity and rulemaking.

Under the Bank of Spain’s capital adequacy regulations applicable as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we were required to have a ratio of consolidated stockholders’ equity to risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items (net of certain amounts) of not less than 8%. As of June 30, 2013, this ratio was 10.3%, down from 10.5% as of December 31, 2012, and our stockholders’ equity exceeded the minimum level required by 48.0%, up from 40.3% as of December 31, 2012. For additional information on the calculation of these ratios, see Note 33 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Based on the Basel II framework and using such additional assumptions as we consider appropriate, we have estimated that as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 our consolidated Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 11.3% and 10.8%, respectively, and our consolidated total risk-based capital ratio (consisting of both Tier I and Tier II capital) was 13.5% and 13.0%, respectively. The Basel II recommends that these ratios be at least 4% and 8%, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013 the BBVA Group also complied with the recommendations made by the European Banking Authority (EBA) about minimum capital levels calculated based on June 2012 requirements. The minimum required level is 9%.

For qualitative and quantitative information on the principal risks we face, including market, credit and liquidity risks as well as information on funding and treasury policies and exchange rates risk, see Note 7 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statement.

OTHER INFORMATION

Sale of BBVA Panamá

On July 20, 2013, BBVA reached an agreement with Leasing Bogotá S.A., Panamá, a subsidiary of Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores, S.A., for the sale to the former of the entire stake (98.92%) that BBVA holds directly and indirectly in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (Panamá), S.A. (“BBVA Panamá”).

The closing of the transaction is subject to the approval by the competent regulatory authorities.

The total consideration that BBVA expects to obtain pursuant to this sale amounts to approximately $646 million (€492 million) including an adjustment to the net income generated by BBVA Panamá from June 1, 2013 up to the closing date. BBVA estimates that such amount will represent a positive adjustment of approximately $16 million (€12 million).

BBVA has the option to receive part of the consideration through the distribution of dividends from BBVA Panamá amounting to $140 million (€107 million) prior to the closing date (such amount would accordingly reduce the purchase price to be paid to BBVA at closing) in which case the capital gain net of taxes would amount to approximately €150 million.

Scrip Dividend

On September 25, 2013, BBVA furnished to the SEC a relevant event notice on a Form 6-K relating to the free-of-charge capital increase approved by the General Meeting of BBVA shareholders held on March 15 2013, under item four, section 4.2 of the agenda, pursuant to which a system of flexible shareholder remuneration called “Dividend Option” is to be instrumented. Accompanying such relevant event notice is an information document describing the free-of-charge capital increase for purposes of articles 26.1.e) and 41.1.d) of Royal Decree 1310/2005 of November 4.

Sale of Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones Provida S.A.

On October 2, 2013, BBVA completed the sale of the entirety of its approximately 64.3% interest in Chilean pension fund manager Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones Provida S.A. (“AFP Provida”) to subsidiaries of MetLife, Inc.

The total amount in cash received by BBVA in connection with the sale of its approximately 64.3% interest in AFP Provida is approximately 1,540 million U.S. dollars (“USD”), taking into account the purchase price amounting to approximately 1,310 million USD as well as the dividends paid by AFP Provida since February 1, 2013 amounting to approximately 230 million USD (an exchange rate of 1 USD = 504.93 Chilean Pesos (CLP) as of September 30, 2013 has been considered for the dividends paid). The capital gain net of taxes arising from the transaction amounts to approximately €500 million.

1. Introduction, basis for the presentation of the consolidated financial statements and internal control of financial information.

 

1.1

Introduction

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 consultation at the Bank’s registered address (Plaza San Nicolás, 4 Bilbao) as on its web site (www.bbva.com).

In addition to the transactions it carries out directly, the Bank heads a group of subsidiaries, joint venture and associated entities 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 individual financial statements, the Bank is therefore required to prepare the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2013, the BBVA Group was made up of 317 fully consolidated entities and 129 entities accounted for using the equity method (see Notes 3 and 17 Appendices I to IV).

The consolidated financial statements of the BBVA Group and the separate financial statements of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2012 were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meetings on March 15, 2013.

 

1.2

Basis for the presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements

The BBVA Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union (hereinafter, “EU-IFRS”) applicable as of June 30, 2013 (see Note 1.3), considering the Bank of Spain Circular 4/2004, of 22 December (and as amended thereafter), and with any other legislation governing financial reporting applicable to the Group and in compliance with IFRS-IASB.

The BBVA Group’s accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 were prepared by the Group Management on October 4, 2013, by applying the principles of consolidation, accounting policies and valuation criteria described in Note 2, so that they present fairly the Group’s consolidated equity and financial position as of June 30, 2013, together with the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows generated during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

These consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of the accounting records kept by the Bank and each of the other entities in the Group. Moreover, they include the adjustments and reclassifications required to harmonize the accounting policies and valuation criteria used by the Group (see Note 2.2).

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. Some items that appear without a total in these consolidated financial statements do so because of the size of the units used. 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.

The percentage changes in amounts have been calculated using figures expressed in thousands of euros.

Comparative information

The information included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the explanatory notes referring to December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 are presented exclusively for the purpose of comparison with the information for June 30, 2013.

The information as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 has been reworked for comparative purposes considering:

 

 

The application of new standards, IFRS 10 and 11 as indicated in Note 2.1.

 

 

In accordance with IFRS -5, due to the sale of the Latin American pension business (see Note 3), the results of these entities for the first half of 2012 have been reclassified under the heading “Profit from discontinued operations” in the accompanying consolidated income statements.

 

 

As mentioned in Note 6, in the first half of 2013 minor changes are made to the operating segments in the BBVA Group with respect to the structure in place in 2012 (see Note 6). The figures for 2012 have been restated according to the criteria used in 2013, as established by IFRS 8, “Operating segments.”

 

1.4

Seasonal nature of income and expenses

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

 

1.5

Responsibility 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 amount of some assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments. These estimates relate mainly to the following:

 

 

Impairment on certain financial assets (see Notes 7, 8, 12, 13, 14 and 17).

 

 

The assumptions used to quantify certain provisions (see Notes 18, 24 and 25) and for the actuarial calculation of post-employment benefit liabilities and commitments (see Note 26).

 

 

The useful life and impairment losses of tangible and intangible assets (see Notes 16, 19, 20 and 22).

 

 

The valuation of goodwill (see Notes 17 and 20).

 

 

The fair value of certain unlisted financial assets and liabilities in organized markets (see Notes 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 15).

Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available as of December 31, 2012 on the events analyzed, 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.

 

1.6

Control of the BBVA Group’s financial reporting

The financial information prepared by the BBVA Group is subject to a system of internal control (hereinafter the “Internal Financial Control” or “ICFR”). Its aim is to provide reasonable assurance with respect to its reliability and integrity, and to ensure that the transactions carried out and processed use the criteria established by the Group’s management and comply with applicable laws and regulations.

 

F-14


Table of Contents

The ICFR was developed by the Group’s management in accordance with international standards established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (hereinafter, “COSO”). This stipulates five components that must form the basis of the effectiveness and efficiency of systems of internal control:

 

 

Assessment of all of the risks that could arise during the preparation of financial information.

 

 

Design the necessary controls to mitigate the most critical risks.

 

 

Monitoring of the controls to ensure they perform correctly and are effective over time.

 

 

Establishment of an appropriate system of information flows to detect and report system weaknesses or flaws.

 

 

Establishment of a suitable control environment to track all of these activities.

The ICFR is a dynamic model that evolves continuously over time to reflect the reality of the Group’s business at any time, together with the risks affecting it and the controls designed to mitigate these risks. It is subject to continuous evaluation by the internal control units located in the Group’s different entities.

The internal control units comply with a common and standard methodology issued by the corporate internal control units, which also perform a supervisory role over them, as set out in the following diagram:

 

LOGO

As well as the evaluation by the Internal Control Units, ICFR Model is subject to evaluations by the Group’s Internal Audit Department and external auditors. It is also supervised by the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Bank’s Board of Directors.

The BBVA Group, as a foreign private issuer in the United States, produced a report entitled Form 20F, and therefore meets the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

This report (Form 20F) to December 31, 2012 included a certificate which stated the responsibility to establish and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting suitable for Group and assessed that at the end of 2012, it was effective and had no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. This report also included the external auditor’s opinion on the effectiveness of internal control system of the entity financial reporting at year end 2012.

Mortgage market policies and procedures

The information on “Mortgage market policies and procedures” (for the granting of mortgage loans and for debt issues secured by such mortgage loans) required by Bank of Spain Circular 5/2011, applying Royal Decree 716/2009, dated April 24 (which developed certain aspects of Act 2/1981, dated 25 March, on the regulation of the mortgage market and other mortgage and financial market regulations), is set out in more detail in Appendix VIII: Information on data derived from the special accounting registry.

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

Appendix XI, the Glossary (hereinafter “Glossary”), includes the definition of some of the financial and economic terms used in Note 2 and subsequent Notes.

 

2.1

Principles of consolidation

In terms of its consolidation, accordance with the criteria established by the new IFRS 10 and 11 applied by the Group from January 1, 2013, the BBVA Group is made up of four types of entities: subsidiaries, joint ventures, associates and structured entities, define as follows:

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group (for definition of the criterion for control, see Glossary).

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are consolidated with those of the Bank using the global integration method.

The share of non-controlling interests from subsidiaries in the Group’s consolidated equity is presented under the heading “Non-controlling interests” in the consolidated balance sheet. Their share in the profit or loss for the year is presented under the heading “Profit attributable to non-controlling interests” in the accompanying consolidated income statement (see Note 32).

Note 3 includes information related to the main subsidiaries in the Group as of December 31, 2012. Appendix I includes other significant information on these entities.

Joint ventures

Joint ventures are those entities over which there is a joint arrangement to joint control (for definitions of joint arrangement, joint control and joint venture, refer to Glossary).

The financial statements of the joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. (see Note 17). Appendix II shows the main figures for joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.

Associate entities

Associates are entities in which the Group is able to exercise significant influence (for definition of significant influence, see Glossary). Significant influence is deemed to exist when the Group owns 20% or more of the voting rights of an investee directly or indirectly, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case.

However, certain entities in which the Group owns 20% or more of the voting rights are not included as Group associates, since the Group does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over these entities. Investments in these entities, which do not represent material amounts for the Group, are classified as “Available-for-sale financial assets.”

In contrast, some investments in entities in which the Group holds less than 20% of the voting rights are accounted for as Group associates, as the Group is considered to have the ability to exercise significant influence over these entities.

Appendix II shows the most significant information related to the associates (see Note 17), which are accounted for using the equity method.

Table of Contents

Structured Entities

A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements.

In those cases where the Group sets up entities, or has a holding in such entities (known as structure entities see Glossary), in order to allow its customers access to certain investments, or for transferring risks or for other purposes, in accordance with internal criteria and procedures and with applicable regulations, the Group determines whether control over the entity in question actually exists and therefore whether it should be subject to consolidation.

Such methods and procedures determine if are controlled by the Group, considering how the decisions are made about the relevant activities, assesses whether the Group has all power over the relevant elements, exposure, or rights, to variable returns from involvement with the investee; and the ability to use power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.

Consolidated structured entities: These entities include the so-called asset securitization funds and such vehicle, which allow customers to gain access to certain investments, risk transfers, etc… (See Appendix I). They are fully consolidated in those cases where, based on the aforementioned analysis, it is determined that the Group has maintained control.

In the specific instance of the securitization funds to which the BBVA Group’s entities transfer their loan portfolios, the following indications of the existence of control are considered for the purpose of analyzing the possibility of consolidation:

 

 

The securitization funds’ activities are undertaken in the name of the entity in accordance with its specific business requirements, with a view to generating benefits or gains from the securitization funds’ operations.

 

 

The entity retains a decision-making power with a view to securing most of the gains derived from the securitization funds’ activities or has delegated this power in some kind of “auto-pilot” mechanism (the securitization funds are structured so that all the decisions and activities to be performed are pre-defined at the time of their creation).

 

 

The entity is entitled to receive the bulk of the profits from the securitization funds and is accordingly exposed to the risks inherent in their business activities. The entity retains the bulk of the securitization funds’ residual profit.

 

 

The entity retains the bulk of the securitization funds’ asset risks.

If there is control based on the preceding guidelines, the securitization funds are integrated into the consolidated Group.

The BBVA Group determined whether or not it retains substantially all the risk and rewards on such assets for all securitizations performed since January 1, 2004. As a result of these analyses, the Group has concluded that none of the securitizations undertaken since that date meet the prerequisites for derecognizing the securitized assets from the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 13.2 and Appendix V), and the securitization funds should be consolidated as the Group managed the deterioration of collateral and retains substantially all the expected credit losses and possible changes in net cash flows, while retaining the subordinated loans and lines of credit extended by the BBVA Group to these securitization funds.

Non-consolidated structured entities: The Group partially owns other vehicles also for the purpose of allowing access to customers to certain investment, transfer risks, etc… but without the control of these and which are considered non-consolidated according to IFRS 10. The balance of assets and liabilities of these vehicles is not material in relation to the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

In all cases, results of equity method investees acquired by the BBVA Group in a particular period are included taking into account only the period from the date of acquisition to the financial statements date. Similarly, the results of entities disposed of during any year are included taking into account only the period from the start of the year to the date of disposal.

The main impact of the implementation of the new IFRS 10 and 11 is due to the change in the consolidation method of the investee in the joint venture of Garanti. As of January 1, 2013, such investment is consolidated by the equity method. In fiscal 2012, this investment was consolidated by the proportionated method.

Below is the opening balance sheet at January 1, 2013 due to the application of the new IFRS 10 and 11:

Separate financial statements

The separate financial statements of the parent company of the Group (Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.) are prepared under Spanish regulations (Circular 4/2004 of the Bank of Spain, and subsequent amendments). The Bank uses the cost method to account in its financial statements for investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint venture entities, as permitted by IAS 27.

 

2.2

Accounting policies and valuation criteria applied

The accounting standards and policies and the valuation criteria applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements may differ from those used by some of the entities within the BBVA Group. For this reason, necessary adjustments and reclassifications have been introduced in the consolidation process to standardize these principles and criteria and comply with the EU-IFRS, required to be applied under the Bank of Spain Circular 4/2004.

 

F-19


Table of Contents

The accounting standards and policies and valuation criteria used in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements are as follows:

2.2.1 Financial instruments

Measurement of financial instruments and recognition of changes in subsequent fair value

All financial instruments are initially accounted for at fair value which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, shall be the transaction price.

All the changes in the fair value of the financial instruments, except in trading derivatives, arising from the accrual of interests and similar items are recognized under the headings “Interest and similar income” or “Interest and similar expenses”, as appropriate, in the accompanying consolidated income statement for the year in which the change occurred (see Note 39). The dividends received from other entities are recognized under the heading “Dividend income” in the accompanying consolidated income statement for the year in which the right to receive them arises (see Note 40).

The changes in fair value after the initial recognition, for reasons other than those mentioned in the preceding paragraph, are treated as described below, according to the categories of financial assets and liabilities.

 

 

“Financial assets held for trading” and “Other financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss”

The assets and liabilities recognized under these headings of the consolidated balance sheets are measured at fair value and changes in the fair value (gains or losses) are recognized as their net value under the heading “Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated income statements (see Note 44). However, changes in fair value resulting from variations in foreign exchange rates are recognized under the heading “Exchange differences (net)” in the accompanying consolidated income statements.

 

 

“Available-for-sale financial assets”

Assets recognized under this heading in the consolidated balance sheets are measured at their fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value (gains or losses) are recognized temporarily for their amount net of tax effect, under the heading “Valuation adjustments - Available-for-sale financial assets” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Changes in the value of non-monetary items resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates are recognized temporarily under the heading “Valuation adjustments - Exchange differences” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Changes in foreign exchange rates resulting from monetary items are recognized under the heading “Exchange differences (net)” in the accompanying consolidated income statements.

The amounts recognized under the headings “Valuation adjustments - Available-for-sale financial assets” and “Valuation adjustments - Exchange differences” continue to form part of the Group’s consolidated equity until the corresponding asset is derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet or until an impairment loss is recognized in the corresponding financial instrument. If these assets are sold, these amounts are derecognized and included under the headings “Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities” or “Exchange differences (net)”, as appropriate, in the consolidated income statement for the year in which they are derecognized.

The gains from sales of other equity instruments considered strategic investments included under “Available-for-sale financial assets” are recognized under the heading “Gains (losses) in non-current assets held-for-sale not classified as discontinued operations” in the consolidated income statement, even if they had not been classified in a previous balance sheet as non-current assets held for sale.

 

F-20


Table of Contents

The net impairment losses in “Available-for-sale financial assets” over the year are recognized under the heading “Impairment losses on financial assets (net) – Other financial instruments not at fair value through profit or loss” (see Note 49) in the consolidated income statements for that period.

 

 

“Loans and receivables”, “Held-to-maturity investments” and “Financial liabilities at amortized cost”

Assets and liabilities recognized under these headings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are measured at “amortized cost” using the “effective interest rate” method. This is because the consolidated entities intend to hold such financial instruments to maturity.

Net impairment losses of assets recognized under these headings arising in a particular period are recognized under the heading “Impairment losses on financial assets (net) – Loans and receivables” or “Impairment losses on financial assets (net) – Other financial instruments not valued at fair value through profit or loss” (see Note 49) in the consolidated income statement for that period.

 

 

“Hedging derivatives” and “Fair value changes of the hedged items in portfolio hedges of interest-rate risk”

Assets and liabilities recognized under these headings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are measured at fair value.

Changes occurring subsequent to the designation of the hedging relationship in the measurement of financial instruments designated as hedged items as well as financial instruments designated as hedge accounting instruments are recognized as follows:

 

 

In fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized under the heading “Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities” in the consolidated income statement, with a corresponding item under the headings where hedging items (“Hedging derivatives”) and the hedged items are recognized, as applicable.

 

    

In fair value hedges of interest rate risk of a portfolio of financial instruments (portfolio-hedges), the gains or losses that arise in the measurement of the hedging instrument are recognized in the consolidated income statement, and the gains or losses that arise from the change in the fair value of the hedged item (attributable to the hedged risk) are recognized in the consolidated income statement, using, as a balancing item, the headings “Fair value changes of the hedged items in portfolio hedges of interest rate risk” in the consolidated balance sheets, as applicable.

 

 

In cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the hedging instruments relating to the effective portion are recognized temporarily under the heading “Valuation adjustments – Cash flow hedging” in the consolidated balance sheets. These differences are recognized in the accompanying consolidated income statement at the time when the gain or loss in the hedged instrument affects profit or loss, when the forecast transaction is executed or at the maturity date of the hedged item. Almost all of the hedges used by the Group are for interest-rate risks. Therefore, the valuation changes are recognized under the headings “Interest and similar income” or “Interest and similar expenses”, as appropriate, in the accompanying consolidated income statement (see Note 39).

 

    

Differences in the measurement of the hedging items corresponding to the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are recognized directly in the heading “Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities” in the consolidated income statement (See Note 44).

 

 

In the hedges of net investments in foreign operations, the differences attributable to the effective portions of hedging items are recognized temporarily under the heading “Valuation adjustments – Hedging of net investments in foreign transactions” in the consolidated balance sheets. These differences in valuation are recognized under the heading “Exchange differences (net)” in the consolidated income statement when the investment in a foreign operation is disposed of or derecognized.

 

 

Other financial instruments

The following exceptions are applicable with respect to the above general criteria:

 

 

Equity instruments whose fair value cannot be determined in a sufficiently objective manner and financial derivatives that have those instruments as their underlying asset and are settled by delivery of those instruments remain in the consolidated balance sheet at acquisition cost; this may be adjusted, where appropriate, for any impairment loss. (see Note 8)

 

F-21


Table of Contents
 

Valuation adjustments arising from financial instruments classified at the consolidated balance sheet date as non-current assets held for sale are recognized with a balancing entry under the heading “Valuation adjustments - Non-current assets held for sale” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Impairment losses on financial assets

Definition of impaired financial assets

A financial asset is considered impaired – and therefore its carrying amount is adjusted to reflect the effect of impairment – when there is objective evidence that events have occurred, which:

 

 

In the case of debt instruments (loans and advances and debt securities), reduce the future cash flows that were estimated at the time the transaction was entered into. So they are considered impaired when there are reasonable doubts that the carrying amounts will be recovered in full and/or the related interest will be collected for the amounts and on the dates initially agreed.

 

 

In the case of equity instruments, it means that their carrying amount may not be fully recovered.

As a general rule, the carrying amount of impaired financial assets is adjusted with a charge to the consolidated income statement for the period in which the impairment becomes known. The recoveries of previously recognized impairment losses are reflected, if appropriate, in the consolidated income statement for the year in which the impairment is reversed or reduced, with an exception: any recovery of previously recognized impairment losses for an investment in an equity instrument classified as financial assets available for sale is not recognized in the consolidated income statement, but under the heading “Valuation Adjustments - Available-for-sale financial assets” in the consolidated balance sheet (see Note 31).

In general, 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 unpaid principal.

When the recovery of any recognized amount is considered remote, this amount is written-off on the consolidated balance sheet, without prejudice to any actions that may be taken in order to collect the amount until the rights extinguish in full either because it is time-barred debt, the debt is forgiven, or other reasons.

In the case of particularly significant financial assets, and assets that cannot be classified within similar groups of instruments in terms of risk, the amounts recognized are measured individually. In the case of financial assets for lower amounts that can be classified in homogeneous groups, this measurement is carried out as a group.

According to the Group’s established policy, the recovery of a recognized amount is considered remote and, therefore, derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet in the following cases:

 

 

Any loan (except for those carrying an effective guarantee) of an entity in bankruptcy and/or in the last phases of a “concurso de acreedores” (the Spanish equivalent of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding), and

 

 

Financial assets (bonds, debentures, etc.) whose issuer’s solvency had been undergone a notable and irreversible deterioration.

Additionally, loans and advances classified as impaired secured loans are written off in the balance sheet within a maximum period of four years of their classification as impaired, while impaired unsecured loans (such as commercial and consumer loans, credit cards, etc.) are written off within two years of their classification as impaired.

Impairment on financial assets

The impairment on financial assets is determined by type of instrument and other circumstances that could affect it, taking into account the guarantees received by the owners of the financial instruments to assure (in part or in full) the performance of the financial assets. The BBVA Group recognizes impairment charges directly against the impaired financial asset when the likelihood of recovery is deemed remote, and uses an offsetting or allowance account when it recognizes non-performing loan provisions for the estimated losses.

Impairment of debt securities measured at amortized cost

The amount of impairment losses of debt securities at amortized cost is measured depending on whether the impairment losses are determined individually or collectively.

 

 

Impairment losses on financial assets individually evaluated for impairment

The amount of the impairment losses incurred on these instruments represents the excess of their respective carrying amounts over and the present values of their expected future cash flows. These cash flows are discounted using the original effective interest rate. If a financial instrument has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective rate determined under the contract.

As an exception to the rule described above, the market value of listed debt instruments is deemed to be a fair estimate of the present value of their future cash flows.

The following is to be taken into consideration when estimating the future cash flows of debt instruments:

 

 

All the amounts that are expected to be recovered over the remaining life of the instrument; including, where appropriate, those which may result from the collateral and other credit enhancements provided for the instrument (after deducting the costs required for foreclosure and subsequent sale). Impairment losses include an estimate for the possibility of collecting accrued, past-due and uncollected interest.

 

 

The various types of risk to which each instrument is subject.

 

 

The circumstances in which collections will foreseeably be made.

In respect to impairment losses resulting from the materialization of insolvency risk of the obligors (credit risk), a debt instrument is impaired:

 

 

When there is evidence of a reduction in the obligor’s capacity to pay, whether manifestly by default or for other reasons; and/or

 

 

For these purposes, country risk is understood to refer to risk with respect to debtors resident in a particular country and resulting from factors other than normal commercial risk: sovereign risk, transfer risk or risks derived from international financial activity.

The BBVA Group has policies, methods and procedures for hedging its credit risk, for insolvency attributable to counterparties and country-risk. These policies, methods and procedures are applied to the arrangement, study and documentation of debt instruments, contingent risks and commitments, as well as the identification of their deterioration and in the calculation of the amounts needed to cover their credit risk.

 

 

Impairment losses on financial assets collectively evaluated for impairment

Impairment losses on financial assets collectively evaluated for impairment are calculated by using statistical procedures, and they are deemed equivalent to the portion of losses incurred on the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared that has yet to be allocated to specific asset. The BBVA group estimates that the losses generated as of closing date for these consolidated financial statements, through statistical processes that apply historical data and other specific parameters,

The expected loss is calculated taking into account three key factors: exposure at default, probability of default and loss given default.

 

 

Exposure at default (EAD) is the amount of risk exposure at the date of default by the counterparty.

 

 

Probability of default (PD) is the probability of the counterparty failing to meet its principal and/or interest payment obligations. The PD is associated with the rating/scoring of each counterparty/transaction. In addition, the PD calculation includes the following parameters:

 

  o

The ‘point-in-time’ parameter converts a ‘through-the-cycle’ probability of default (defined as the average probability of default over a complete economic cycle) into the probability of default at the reporting date (‘point-in-time’ probability).

 

F-23


Table of Contents
  o

The loss identification period (‘LIP’) parameter, which is the time lag period between the occurrence of a specific impairment or loss event and when objective evidence of impairment becomes apparent on an individual basis; in other words, the time lag period between the loss event and the date an entity identified its occurrence. The analysis of LIPs is performed on a homogenous portfolio basis.

 

    

A PD of 100% is assigned when a loan is considered impaired. The definition of default used includes amounts past due by 90 days or more and cases in which there is no default but there are doubts as to the solvency of the counterparty (subjective doubtful assets).

 

 

Loss given default (LGD) is the estimate of the loss arising in the event of default. It depends mainly on the characteristics of the counterparty, and the valuation of the guarantees or collateral associated with the asset.

 

    

In order to calculate the LGD at each balance sheet date, the Group evaluates the estimated cash flows from the sale of the collateral by estimating its sale price (in the case of real estate collateral, the Group takes into account declines in property values which could affect the value of such collateral) and its estimated cost of sale. In the event of a default, the Group becomes contractually entitled to the property at the end of the foreclosure process or properties purchased from borrowers in distress, and recognize the collateral at its fair value. After the initial recognition of these assets classified as “Non-current assets held for sale” (see Note 2.2.4) or “Inventories” (see Note 2.2.6), they are valued at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less their estimated selling price.

As of June 30, 2013, the Group’s internal expected losses model for credit risk shows no material differences when compared to the provisions calculation using Bank of Spain requirements.

Impairment of other debt instruments

The impairment losses on other debt securities included in the “Available-for-sale financial asset” portfolio are equal to the excess of their acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment), after deducting any impairment loss previously recognized in the consolidated income statement over their fair value.

When there is objective evidence that the negative differences arising on measurement of these assets are due to impairment, they are no longer considered as “Valuation adjustments - Available-for-sale financial assets” and are recognized in the consolidated income statement.

If all, or part of the impairment losses are subsequently recovered, the amount is recognized in the consolidated income statement for the year in which the recovery occurred.

Impairment of equity instruments

The amount of the impairment in the equity instruments is determined by the category where they are recognized:

 

 

Equity instruments measured at fair value: When there is objective evidence that the negative differences arising on measurement of these assets are due to impairment, they are no longer considered as “Valuation adjustments - Available-for-sale financial assets” and are recognized in the consolidated income statement. The Group considers that there is objective evidence of impairment on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale when significant unrealized losses have existed over a sustained period of time due to a price reduction of at least 40% or over a period of more than 18 months.

 

    

When applying this evidence of impairment, the Group takes into account the volatility in the price of each individual security to determine whether it is a percentage that can be recovered through its sale on the market; other different thresholds may exist for certain securities or specific sectors.

 

    

In addition, for individually significant investments, the Group compares the valuation of the most significant securities against valuations performed by independent experts.

 

    

Any recovery of previously recognized impairment losses for an investment in an equity instrument classified as available for sale is not recognized in the consolidated income statement, but under the heading “Valuation Adjustments - Available-for-sale financial assets” in the consolidated balance sheet (see Note 31).

 

F-24


Table of Contents
 

Equity instruments measured at cost: The impairment losses on equity instruments measured at acquisition cost are equal to the excess of their carrying amount over the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the market rate of return for similar equity instruments. In order to determine these impairment losses, an assessment of the equity of the investee is carried out (excluding valuation adjustments due to cash flow hedges) based on the last approved (consolidated) balance sheet, adjusted by the unrealized gains at measurement date.

 

    

Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated income statement for the year in which they arise as a direct reduction of the cost of the instrument. These losses may only be reversed subsequently in the event of the sale of these assets.

2.2.2 Transfers and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

The accounting treatment of transfers of financial assets is determined by the form in which risks and benefits associated with the financial assets involved are transferred to third parties. Thus the financial assets are only derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet when the cash flows that they generate are extinguished, or when their implicit risks and benefits have been substantially transferred to third parties. In the latter case, the financial asset transferred is derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet, and any right or obligation retained or created as a result of the transfer is simultaneously recognized.

Similarly, financial liabilities are derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet only if their obligations are extinguished or acquired (with a view to subsequent cancellation or renewed placement).

The Group is considered to have transferred substantially all the risks and benefits if such risks and benefits account for the majority of the risks and benefits involved in ownership of the transferred financial assets. If substantially all the risks and benefits associated with the transferred financial asset are retained:

 

 

The transferred financial asset is not derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet and continues to be measured using the same criteria as those used before the transfer.

 

 

A financial liability is recognized at the amount equal to the amount received, which is subsequently measured at amortized cost.

 

    

In the specific case of securitizations, this liability is recognized under the heading “Financial liabilities at amortized cost – Debt certificates” in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 23). In securitizations where the risks and benefits of the transferred financial assets are substantially retained by the BBVA Group, the portion acquired by another entity in the consolidated Group is deducted from the recognized financial liabilities (securitized bonds), as established by paragraph 42 of IAS 39.

 

 

Both the income generated on the transferred (but not derecognized) financial asset and the expenses of the new financial liability continue to be recognized.

2.2.3 Financial guarantees

Financial guarantees are considered to be those contracts that require their issuer to make specific payments to reimburse the holder of the financial guarantee for a loss incurred when a specific borrower breaches its payment obligations on the terms – whether original or subsequently modified – of a debt instrument, irrespective of the legal form it may take. Financial guarantees may take the form of a deposit, financial guarantee, insurance contract or credit derivative, among others.

In their initial recognition, financial guarantees are recognized as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, which is generally the present value of the fees, commissions and interest receivable from these contracts over the term thereof, and the Group simultaneously recognize a corresponding asset in the consolidated balance sheet for the amount of the fees and commissions received at the inception of the transactions and the amounts receivable at the present value of the fees, commissions and interest outstanding.

Financial guarantees, irrespective of the guarantor, instrumentation or other circumstances, are reviewed periodically so as to determine the credit risk to which they are exposed and, if appropriate, to consider whether a provision is required for them. The credit risk is determined by application of criteria similar to those established for quantifying impairment losses on debt instruments measured at amortized cost (see Note 2.2.1).

 

F-25


Table of Contents

The provisions recognized for financial guarantees considered impaired are recognized under the heading “Provisions - Provisions for contingent risks and commitments” on the liability side in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 25). These provisions are recognized and reversed with a charge or credit, respectively; to “Provisions (net)” in the consolidated income statements (see Note 48).

Income from financial guarantee contracts is recorded under the heading “Fee and commission income” in the consolidated income statement and is calculated by applying the rate established in the related contract to the nominal amount of the guarantee (see Note 42).

 

2.2.4

Non-current assets held for sale and liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale

The heading “Non-current assets held-for-sale” in the consolidated balance sheets includes the carrying amount of financial or non-financial assets that are not part of the BBVA Group’s operating activities. The recovery of this carrying amount is expected to take place through the price obtained on its disposal (see Note 16).

This heading includes individual items and groups of items (“disposal groups”) and disposal groups that form part of a major business unit and are being held for sale as part of a disposal plan (“discontinued operations”). The individual items include the assets received by the subsidiaries from their debtors, and those consolidated under the proportionate consolidated method, in full or partial settlement of the debtors’ payment obligations (assets foreclosed or donated in repayment of debt and recovery of lease finance transactions), unless the Group has decided to make continued use of these assets. The BBVA Group has units that specialize in real estate management and the sale of this type of asset.

Symmetrically, the heading “Liabilities associated with non-current assets held for sale” in the consolidated balance sheets reflects the balances payable arising from disposal groups and discontinued operations.

Non-current assets held for sale are generally measured at fair value less sale costs, or their carrying amount, calculated on the date of their classification within this category, whichever is the lower. Non-current assets held for sale are not depreciated while included under this heading.

The fair value of the non-current assets held for sale from foreclosures or recoveries is mainly based on appraisals or valuations made by independent experts and not more than one year old, or less if there are indications of impairment.

Gains and losses generated on the disposal of assets and liabilities classified as non-current held for sale, and related impairment losses and subsequent recoveries, where pertinent, are recognized in “Gains/(losses) on non-current assets held for sale not classified as discontinued operations” in the consolidated income statements (see Note 52.1). The remaining income and expense items associated with these assets and liabilities are classified within the relevant consolidated income statement headings.

Income and expenses for discontinued operations, whatever their nature, generated during the year, even if they have occurred before their classification as discontinued operations, are presented net of the tax effect as a single amount under the heading “Profit from discontinued operations” in the consolidated income statement, whether the business remains on the balance sheet or is derecognized from the balance sheet. This heading includes the earnings from their sale or other disposal (see Notes 1.3 and 52.2).

2.2.5 Tangible assets

Property, plant and equipment for own use

This heading includes the assets under ownership or acquired under lease finance, intended for future or current use by the BBVA Group and that it expects to hold for more than one year. It also includes tangible assets received by the consolidated entities in full or partial settlement of financial assets representing receivables from third parties and those assets expected to be held for continuing use.

Property, plant and equipment for own use are presented in the consolidated balance sheets at acquisition cost, less any accumulated depreciation and, where appropriate, any estimated impairment losses resulting from comparing this net carrying amount of each item with its corresponding recoverable amount.

 

F-26


Table of Contents

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, on the basis of the acquisition cost of the assets less their residual value; the land on which the buildings and other structures stand is considered to have an indefinite life and is therefore not depreciated.

The tangible asset depreciation charges are recognized in the accompanying consolidated income statements under the heading “Depreciation and amortization” (see Note 47) and are based on the application of the following depreciation rates (determined on the basis of the average years of estimated useful life of the various assets):

 

Amortization Rates for Tangible Assets

 

 

     

 

Type of Assets

                Annual Percentage        
Buildings for own use       1.33% - 4%
Furniture       8% - 10%
Fixtures       6% - 12%
Office supplies and hardware         8% - 25%

The BBVA Group’s criteria for determining the recoverable amount of these assets, in particular buildings for own use, is based on independent appraisals that are no more than 3-5 years old at most, unless there are indications of impairment.

At each reporting date, the Group entities analyze whether there are internal or external indicators that a tangible asset may be impaired. When there is evidence of impairment, the entity analyzes whether this impairment actually exists by comparing the asset’s net carrying amount with its recoverable amount (as the higher between its recoverable amount less disposal costs and its value in use). When the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount and depreciation charges going forward are adjusted to reflect the asset’s remaining useful life.

Similarly, if there is any indication that the value of a tangible asset has been recovered, the consolidated entities will estimate the recoverable amounts of the asset and recognize it in the consolidated income statement, recording the reversal of the impairment loss registered in previous years and thus adjusting future depreciation charges. Under no circumstances may the reversal of an impairment loss on an asset raise its carrying amount above that which it would have if no impairment losses had been recognized in prior years.

Running and maintenance expenses relating to tangible assets held for own use are recognized as an expense in the year they are incurred and recognized in the consolidated income statements under the heading “Administration costs - General and administrative expenses - Property, fixtures and equipment” (see Note 46.2).

Other assets leased out under an operating lease

The criteria used to recognize the acquisition cost of assets leased out under operating leases, to calculate their depreciation and their respective estimated useful lives and to recognize the impairment losses on them, are the same as those described in relation to tangible assets for own use.

Investment properties

The heading “Tangible assets - Investment properties” in the consolidated balance sheets reflects the net values (purchase cost minus the corresponding accumulated depreciation and, if appropriate, estimated impairment losses) of the land, buildings and other structures that are held either to earn rentals or for capital appreciation through sale and that are neither expected to be sold off in the ordinary course of business nor are destined for own use (see Note 19).

The criteria used to recognize the acquisition cost of investment properties, calculate their depreciation and their respective estimated useful lives and recognize the impairment losses on them, are the same as those described in relation to tangible assets held for own use.

 

F-27


Table of Contents

The BBVA Group’s criteria for determining the recoverable amount of these assets is based on independent appraisals that are no more than one year old at most, unless there are indications of impairment.

2.2.6 Inventories

The balance under the heading “Other assets - Inventories” in the consolidated balance sheets mainly includes the land and other properties that the BBVA Group’s real estate entities hold for development and sale as part of their real estate development activities (see Note 22).

The cost of inventories includes those costs incurred in during their acquisition and development, as well as other direct and indirect costs incurred in getting them to their current condition and location.

The cost of real-estate assets accounted for as inventories is comprised of: the acquisition cost of the land, the cost of urban planning and construction, non-recoverable taxes and costs corresponding to construction supervision, coordination and management. Borrowing cost incurred during the year form part of the cost value, provided that the inventories require more than a year to be in a condition to be sold.

Properties purchased from borrowers in distress are measured, at the acquisition date and any subsequent time, at either their related carrying amount or the fair value of the property (less costs to sell), whichever is lower. The acquisition cost of these real-estate assets is defined as the balance pending collection on those loans/credits that originated said purchases (net of provisions).

Impairment

If the fair value less costs to sell is lower than the amount recorded in the balance sheet for the loan, a loss is recognized under the heading “Impairment losses on other assets (net)” in the income statement for the period. In the case of real-estate assets accounted for as inventories, the BBVA Group’s criterion for determining their net realizable value is mainly based on independent appraisals no more than one year old, or less if there are indications of impairment.

The amount of any inventory valuation adjustment for reasons such as damage, obsolescence, reduction in sale price to its net realizable value, as well as losses for other reasons and, if appropriate, subsequent recoveries of value up to the limit of the initial cost value, are recorded under the heading “Impairment losses on other assets (net) – Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated income statements (see Note 50) for the year in which they are incurred.

Inventory sales

In sale transactions, the carrying amount of inventories is derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet and recognized as an expense under the heading “Other operating expenses – Changes in inventories” in the year in which the income from its sale is recognized. This income is recognized under the heading “Other operating income – Financial income from non-financial services” in the consolidated income statements (see Note 45).

2.2.7 Business combinations

The aim of a business combination is to obtain control of one or more businesses. It is accounted for by applying the acquisition method.

According to this method, the acquirer has to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed, including those that the acquired entity had not recognized in the accounts. The method involves the measurement of the consideration received for the business combination and its allocation to the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities measured according to their fair value, at the purchase date.

In addition, the acquirer shall recognize an asset in the consolidated balance sheet under the heading “Intangible asset - Goodwill” if on the acquisition date there is a positive difference between:

 

 

the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of all the non-controlling interests and the fair value of stock previously held in the acquired business; and

 

 

the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

 

F-28


Table of Contents

If this difference is negative, it shall be recognized directly in the income statement under the heading “Gain on Bargain Purchase in business combinations”.

Non-controlling interests in the acquired entity may be measured in two ways: either at their fair value; or at the proportional percentage of net assets identified in the acquired entity. The method of valuing non-controlling interest may be elected in each business combination. So far, the BBVA Group has always elected for the second method.

The purchase of non-controlling interests subsequent to obtaining control of an entity is recognized as equity transactions; in other words, the difference between the consideration transferred and the carrying amount of the percentage of non-controlling interests acquired is charged directly to equity.

2.2.8 Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents payment in advance by the acquiring entity for the future economic benefits from assets that cannot be individually identified and separately recognized. It is only recognized as goodwill when the business combinations are acquired at a price. Goodwill is never amortized. It is subject periodically to an impairment analysis, and is written off if it is clear that there has been impairment.

Goodwill is assigned to one or more cash-generating units that expect to be the beneficiaries of the synergies derived from the business combinations. The cash-generating units represent the Group’s smallest identifiable asset groups that generate cash flows for the Group and that are largely independent of the flows generated from the Group’s other assets or groups of assets. Each unit or units to which goodwill is allocated:

 

 

is the lowest level at which the entity manages goodwill internally;

 

 

is not larger than a business segment.

The cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment (including the allocated goodwill in their carrying amount). This analysis is performed at least annually or more frequently if there is any indication of impairment.

For the purpose of determining the impairment of a cash-generating unit to which a part of goodwill has been allocated, the carrying amount of that cash-generating unit, adjusted by the theoretical amount of the goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interests, in the event they are not valued at fair value, is compared with its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is equal to the fair value less sale costs and its value in use, whichever is greater. Value in use is calculated as the discounted value of the cash flow projections that the unit’s management estimates and is based on the latest budgets approved for the coming years. The main assumptions used in its calculation are: a sustainable growth rate to extrapolate the cash flows indefinitely, and the discount rate used to discount the cash flows, which is equal to the cost of the capital assigned to each cash-generating unit, and equivalent to the sum of the risk-free rate plus a risk premium inherent to the cash-generating unit being evaluated for impairment.

If the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit exceeds the related recoverable amount, the Group recognizes an impairment loss; the resulting loss is apportioned by reducing, first, the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to that unit and, second, if there are still impairment losses remaining to be recognized, the carrying amount of the rest of the assets. This is done by allocating the remaining loss in proportion to the carrying amount of each of the assets in the unit. In the event the non-controlling interests are measured at fair value, the deterioration of goodwill attributable to non-controlling interests will be recognized. In any case, an impairment loss recognized for goodwill shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.

They are recognized under the heading “Impairment losses on other assets (net) – Goodwill and other intangible assets” in the consolidated income statements (see Note 50).

 

F-29


Table of Contents

Other intangible assets

These assets may have an indefinite useful life if, based on an analysis of all relevant factors, it is concluded that there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash flows for the consolidated entities. In all other cases they have a finite useful life.

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized according to the duration of this useful life, using methods similar to those used to depreciate tangible assets. The depreciation charge of these assets is recognized in the accompanying consolidated income statements under the heading “Depreciation and amortization” (see Note 47).

The consolidated entities recognize any impairment loss on the carrying amount of these assets with charge to the heading “Impairment losses on other assets (net) - Goodwill and other intangible assets” in the accompanying consolidated income statements (see Note 50). The criteria used to recognize the impairment losses on these assets and, where applicable, the recovery of impairment losses recognized in prior years, are similar to those used for tangible assets.

2.2.9 Insurance and reinsurance contracts

The assets of the BBVA Group’s insurance subsidiaries are recognized according to their nature under the corresponding headings of the consolidated balance sheets and the initial recognition and valuation is carried out according to the criteria set out in IFRS 4.

The heading “Reinsurance assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets includes the amounts that the consolidated entities are entitled to receive under the reinsurance contracts entered into by them with third parties and, more specifically, the share of the reinsurer in the technical provisions recognized by the consolidated insurance entities (see Note 18).

The heading “Liabilities under insurance contracts” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets includes the technical provisions for direct insurance and inward reinsurance recognized by the consolidated entities to cover claims arising from insurance contracts in force at period-end (see Note 24).

The income or expenses reported by the BBVA Group’s insurance entities on their insurance activities is recognized, attending to its nature, in the corresponding items of the consolidated income statements.

The consolidated insurance entities of the BBVA Group recognize the amounts of the premiums written to the income statement and a charge for the estimated cost of the claims that will be incurred at their final settlement to their income statements. At the close of each year the amounts collected and unpaid, as well as the costs incurred and unpaid, are accrued.

The most significant provisions registered by consolidated insurance entities with respect to insurance policies issued by them are set out by their nature in Note 24.

According to the type of product, the provisions may be as follows:

 

 

Life insurance provisions: Represents the value of the net obligations undertaken with the life insurance policyholder. These provisions include:

 

 

Provisions for unearned premiums. These are intended for the accrual, at the date of calculation, of the premiums written. Their balance reflects the portion of the premiums accrued until the closing date that has to be allocated to the period from the closing date to the end of the insurance policy period.

 

 

Mathematical reserves: Represents the value of the life insurance obligations of the insurance entities at year-end, net of the policyholder’s obligations, arising from life insurance contracted.

 

 

Non-life insurance provisions:

 

 

Provisions for unearned premiums. These provisions are intended for the accrual, at the date of calculation, of the premiums written. Their balance reflects the portion of the premiums accrued until year-end that has to be allocated to the period between the year-end and the end of the policy period.

 

F-30


Table of Contents
 

Provisions for unexpired risks: The provision for unexpired risks supplements the provision for unearned premiums by the amount by which that provision is not sufficient to reflect the assessed risks and expenses to be covered by the insurance entities in the policy period not elapsed at year-end.

 

 

Provision for claims: This reflects the total amount of the outstanding obligations arising from claims incurred prior to year-end. Insurance entities calculate this provision as the difference between the total estimated or certain cost of the claims not yet reported, settled or paid, and the total amounts already paid in relation to these claims.

 

 

Provision for bonuses and rebates: This provision includes the amount of the bonuses accruing to policyholders, insurees or beneficiaries and the premiums to be returned to policyholders or insurees, as the case may be, based on the behavior of the risk insured, to the extent that such amounts have not been individually assigned to each of them.

 

 

Technical provisions for reinsurance ceded: Calculated by applying the criteria indicated above for direct insurance, taking account of the assignment conditions established in the reinsurance contracts in force.

 

 

Other technical provisions: Insurance entities have recognized provisions to cover the probable mismatches in the market reinvestment interest rates with respect to those used in the valuation of the technical provisions.

The BBVA Group controls and monitors the exposure of the insurance entities to financial risk and, to this end, uses internal methods and tools that enable it to measure credit risk and market risk and to establish the limits for these risks.

2.2.10 Tax assets and liabilities

Expenses on corporation tax applicable to the BBVA Group’s Spanish entities and on similar taxes applicable to consolidated entities abroad are recognized in the consolidated income statement, except when they result from transactions on which the profits or losses are recognized directly in equity, in which case the related tax effect is also recognized in equity.

The total corporate income tax expense is calculated by aggregating the current tax arising from the application of the corresponding tax rate to the tax for the year (after deducting the tax credits allowable for tax purposes) and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated income statement.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities include temporary differences, defined as the amounts to be payable or recoverable in future fiscal years arising from the differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax bases (the “tax value”), and tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. These amounts are registered by applying to each temporary difference the tax rates that are expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled (see Note 21).

The “Tax Assets” chapter of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets includes the amount of all the assets of a tax nature, and distinguishes between: “Current” (amounts recoverable by tax in the next twelve months) and “Deferred” (covering taxes recoverable in future years, including loss carry forwards or tax credits for deductions and tax rebates pending application).

The “Tax Liabilities” chapter of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets includes the amount of all the liabilities of a tax nature, except for provisions for taxes, broken down into: “Current” (income tax payable on taxable profit for the year and other taxes payable in the next twelve months) and “Deferred” (income taxes payable in subsequent years).

Deferred tax liabilities in relation to taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities are recognized as such, except where the Group can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is unlikely that it will reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is considered probable that the consolidated entities will have sufficient taxable profits in the future against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized and are not from the initial recognition (except in the case of a business combination) of other assets or liabilities in a transaction that does not affect the fiscal outcome or the accounting result.

 

F-31


Table of Contents

The deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized are reassessed by the consolidated entities at each balance sheet date in order to ascertain whether they are still current, and the appropriate adjustments are made on the basis of the findings of the analyses performed.

The income and expenses directly recognized in equity that do not increase or decrease taxable income are accounted for as temporary differences.

2.2.11 Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities

The heading “Provisions” in the consolidated balance sheets includes amounts recognized to cover the BBVA Group’s current obligations arising as a result of past events. These are certain in terms of nature but uncertain in terms of amount and/or settlement date. The settlement of these obligations is deemed likely to entail an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits (see Note 25). The obligations may arise in connection with legal or contractual provisions, valid expectations formed by Group entities relative to third parties in relation to the assumption of certain responsibilities or through virtually certain developments of particular aspects of the regulations applicable to the operation of the entities; and, specifically, future legislation to which the Group will certainly be subject.

The provisions are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets when each and every one of the following requirements is met:

 

 

They represent a current obligation that has arisen from a past event;

 

 

At the date referred to by the consolidated financial statements, there is more probability that the obligation will have to be met than that it will not;

 

 

It is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

 

 

The amount of the obligation can be reasonably estimated.

Among other items, these provisions include the commitments made to employees by some of the Group entities (mentioned in section 2.2.12), as well as provisions for tax and legal litigation.

Contingent assets are possible assets that arise from past events and whose existence is conditional on, and will be confirmed only by, the occurrence or non-occurrence of events beyond the control of the Group. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet or in the consolidated income statement; however, they are disclosed in the Notes to the financial statements, provided that it is probable that these assets will give rise to an increase in resources embodying economic benefits (see Note 36).

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations of the Group that arise from past events and whose existence is conditional on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events beyond the control of the entity. They also include the existing obligations of the entity when it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle them; or when, in extremely rare cases, their amount cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

2.2.12 Pensions and other post-employment commitments

Below is a description of the most significant accounting criteria relating to the commitments to employees, in terms of post-employment benefits and other long-term commitments, of certain BBVA Group entities in Spain and abroad (see Note 26 ).

Commitments valuation: assumptions and actuarial gains/losses recognition

The present values of the commitments are quantified based on an individual member data. For current employees costs are calculated using the projected unit credit method, which sees each period of service as giving rise to an additional unit of benefit/commitment and measures each unit separately to build up the final obligation.

 

F-32


Table of Contents

The actuarial assumptions should take into account that:

 

 

They are unbiased, in that they are not unduly aggressive nor excessively conservative.

 

 

They are compatible with each other and adequately reflect the existing economic relations between factors such as inflation, foreseeable wage increases, discount rates and the expected return on plan assets, etc. The future levels of wages and benefits are based on market expectations at the consolidated balance sheet date for the period over which the obligations are to be settled.

 

 

The rate used to discount the commitments is determined by reference to market yields at the date referred to by the consolidated financial statements on high quality bonds.

The BBVA Group recognizes actuarial differences originating in the commitments assumed with staff taking early retirement, benefits awarded for seniority and other similar items under the heading “Provisions (net)” of the consolidated income statement for the period (see Note 48) in which these differences occur. The BBVA Group recognizes the actuarial gains or losses arising on all other defined-benefit post-employment commitments directly under the heading “Valuation adjustments” of equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 31).

Post-employment benefit commitments

Pensions

The BBVA Group’s post-employment benefit commitments are either defined-contribution or defined-benefit.

 

 

Defined-contribution commitments: The amounts of these commitments are established as a percentage of certain remuneration items and/or as a fixed pre-established amount. The contributions made in each period by the BBVA Group’s entities for these commitments are recognized with a charge to the heading “Personnel expenses - Defined-contribution plan expense” in the consolidated income statements (see Note 46.1).

 

 

Defined-benefit commitments: Some of the BBVA Group’s entities have defined-benefit commitments for the permanent disability and death of certain current employees and early retirees, as well as defined-benefit retirement commitments applicable only to certain groups of current employees, or employees taking early retirement and retired employees. These commitments are either funded by insurance contracts or registered as internal provisions.

The amounts recognized under the heading “Provisions – Provisions for pensions and similar obligations” (see Note 25) are the differences, at the date of the consolidated financial statements, between the present values of the commitments for defined-benefit commitments, adjusted by the past service cost, and the fair value of plan assets.

The current contributions made by the Group’s entities for defined-benefit commitments covering current employees are charged to the heading “Administration cost - Personnel expenses” in the accompanying consolidated income statements (see Note 46.1).

Early retirement

The BBVA Group has offered certain employees in Spain the option of taking early retirement (that is earlier than the age stipulated in the collective labor agreement in force), and has recognized the corresponding provisions to cover the cost of the commitments acquired for this item. The present values of early retirement obligations are quantified based on an individual member data and are recognized under the heading “Provisions – Provisions for pensions and similar obligations” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 25).

The early retirement commitments in Spain include the compensation and indemnities and contributions to external pension funds payable during the period of early retirement. The commitments relating to this group of employees after they have reached normal retirement age are dealt with in the same way as pensions.

 

F-33


Table of Contents

Other post-employment welfare benefits

Some of the BBVA Group’s entities have welfare benefit commitments whose effects extend beyond the retirement of the employees entitled to the benefits. These commitments relate to certain current employees and retirees, depending upon the employee group to which they belong.

The present values of post-employment welfare benefits are quantified based on an individual member data and are recognized under the heading “Provisions – Provisions for pensions and similar obligations” in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 25).

Other long-term commitments to employees

Some of the BBVA Group’s entities are obliged to deliver goods and services to groups of employees. The most significant of these, in terms of the type of compensation and the event giving rise to the commitments, are as follows: loans to employees, life insurance, study assistance and long-service awards.

Some of these commitments are measured using actuarial studies, so that the present values of the vested obligations for commitments with personnel are quantified based on an individual member data. They are recognized under the heading “Provisions – Other provisions” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 25).

The cost of these benefits provided by Spanish entities in the BBVA Group to active employees are recognized under the heading “Personnel expenses - Other personnel expenses” in the consolidated income statements (see Note 46.1).

Other commitments for current employees accrue and are settled on a yearly basis, so it is not necessary to register a provision in this regard.

2.2.13 Equity-settled share-based payment transactions

Provided they constitute the delivery of such instruments following the completion of a specific period of services, equity-settled share-based payment transactions are recognized as an expense for services being provided by employees, by way of a balancing entry under the heading “Stockholders’ equity – Other equity instruments” in the consolidated balance sheet. These services are measured at fair value, unless this value cannot be calculated reliably. In this case, they are measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments committed, taking into account the date on which the commitments were assumed and the terms and other conditions included in the commitments.

When the initial compensation agreement includes what may be considered market conditions among its terms, any changes in these conditions will not be reflected in the consolidated income statement, as these have already been accounted for in calculating the initial fair value of the equity instruments. Non-market vesting conditions are not taken into account when estimating the initial fair value of instruments, but they are taken into account when determining the number of instruments to be granted. This will be recognized on the consolidated income statement with the corresponding increase in equity.

2.2.14 Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized in the accounts when the BBVA Group agrees to terminate employment contracts with its employees and has established a detailed plan.

2.2.15 Treasury stock

The value of equity instruments issued by the BBVA Group’s entities and held by them - basically, shares and derivatives on the Bank’s shares held by some consolidated entities that comply with the requirements to be recognized as equity instruments - are recognized under the heading “Stockholders’ funds - Treasury stock” in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 30).

These financial assets are recognized at acquisition cost, and the gains or losses arising on their disposal are credited or debited, as appropriate, to the heading “Stockholders’ funds - Reserves” in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 29).

 

F-34


Table of Contents

2.2.16 Foreign-currency transactions and exchange differences

The BBVA Group’s functional currency, and thus the currency in which the consolidated financial statements are presented, is the euro. All balances and transactions denominated in currencies other than the euro are deemed to be denominated in “foreign currency”.

Conversion to euros of the balances held in foreign currency is performed in two consecutive stages:

 

 

Conversion of the foreign currency to the functional currency (currency of the main economic environment in which the entity operates); and

 

 

Conversion to euros of the balances held in the functional currencies of the entities whose functional currency is not the euro.

Conversion of the foreign currency to the functional currency

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies carried out by the consolidated entities (or accounted for using the equity method) not based in European Monetary Union countries are initially accounted for in their respective currencies. Subsequently, the monetary balances in foreign currencies are converted to their respective functional currencies using the exchange rate at the close of the financial year.

In addition,

 

 

Non-monetary items valued at their historical cost are converted to the functional currency at the exchange rate in force on the purchase date.

 

 

Non-monetary items valued at their fair value are converted at the exchange rate in force on the date on which such fair value was determined.

 

 

Income and expenses are converted at the period’s average exchange rates for all the operations carried out during the period. When applying this criterion the BBVA Group considers whether significant variations have taken place in exchange rates during the financial year which, owing to their impact on the statements as a whole, require the application of exchange rates as of the date of the transaction instead of such average exchange rates.

The exchange differences produced when converting the balances in foreign currency to the functional currency of the consolidated entities and their subsidiaries are generally recognized under the heading “Exchange differences (net)” in the consolidated income statements. However, the exchange differences in non-monetary items are recognized temporarily in equity under the heading “Valuation adjustments - Exchange differences” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Conversion of functional currencies to euros

The balances in the financial statements of consolidated entities whose functional currency is not the euro are converted to euros as follows:

 

 

Assets and liabilities: at the average spot exchange rates as of the date of each of the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Income and expenses and cash flows are converted by applying the exchange rate in force on the date of the transaction, and the average exchange rate for the financial year may be used, unless it has undergone significant variations.

 

 

Equity items: at the historical exchange rates.

The exchange differences arising from the conversion to euros of balances in the functional currencies of the consolidated entities whose functional currency is not the euro are recognized under the heading “Valuation adjustments – Exchange differences” in the consolidated balance sheets. Meanwhile, the differences arising from the conversion to euros of the financial statements of entities accounted for by the equity method are recognized under the heading “Valuation adjustments - Entities accounted for using the equity method” until the item to which they relate is derecognized, at which time they are recognized in the income statement.

The breakdown of the main consolidated balances in foreign currencies as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, with reference to the most significant foreign currencies, is set forth in Appendix VII.

 

F-35


Table of Contents

2.2.17 Recognition of income and expenses

The most significant criteria used by the BBVA Group to recognize its income and expenses are as follows.

 

 

Interest income and expenses and similar items: As a general rule, interest income and expenses and similar items are recognized on the basis of their period of accrual using the effective interest rate method. The financial fees and commissions that arise on the arrangement of loans and advances (basically origination and analysis fees) are deferred and recognized in the income statement over the expected life of the loan. The direct costs incurred in arranging these loans and advances can be deducted from the amount thus recognized. These fees are part of the effective rate for loans. Also dividends received from other entities are recognized as income when the consolidated entities’ right to receive them arises.

However, when a debt instrument is deemed to be impaired individually or is included in the category of instruments that are impaired because their recovery is considered to be remote, the recognition of accrued interest in the consolidated income statement is interrupted. This interest is recognized for accounting purposes as income, as soon as it is received.

 

 

Commissions, fees and similar items: Income and expenses relating to commissions and similar fees are recognized in the consolidated income statement using criteria that vary according to the nature of such items. The most significant items in this connection are:

 

 

Those relating to financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, which are recognized when collected/paid.

 

 

Those arising from transactions or services that are provided over a period of time, which are recognized over the life of these transactions or services.

 

 

Those relating to single acts, which are recognized when this single act is carried out.

 

 

Non-financial income and expenses: These are recognized for accounting purposes on an accrual basis.

 

 

Deferred collections and payments: These are recognized for accounting purposes at the amount resulting from discounting the expected cash flows at market rates.

2.2.18 Sales and income from the provision of non-financial services

The heading “Other operating income - Financial income from non-financial services” in the consolidated income statements includes the carrying amount of the sales of assets and income from the services provided by the Group entities that are not financial institutions. In the case of the Group, these entities are mainly real estate and service entities (see Note 45).

2.2.19 Leases

Lease contracts are classified as finance leases from the inception of the transaction, if they substantially transfer all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the asset forming the subject-matter of the contract. Leases other than finance leases are classified as operating leases.

When the consolidated entities act as the lessor of an asset in finance leases, the aggregate present values of the lease payments receivable from the lessee plus the guaranteed residual value (normally the exercise price of the lessee’s purchase option on expiration of the lease agreement) are recognized as financing provided to third parties and, therefore, are included under the heading “Loans and receivables” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

When the consolidated entities act as lessors of an asset in operating leases, the acquisition cost of the leased assets is recognized under “Tangible assets – Property, plant and equipment – Other assets leased out under an operating lease” in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 19). These assets are depreciated in line with the criteria adopted for items of tangible assets for own use, while the income arising from the lease arrangements is recognized in the consolidated income statements on a straight-line basis within “Other operating expenses - Rest of other operating expenses” (see Note 45).

 

F-36


Table of Contents

If a fair value sale and leaseback results in an operating lease, the profit or loss generated by the sale is recognized in the consolidated income statement at the time of sale. If such a transaction gives rise to a finance lease, the corresponding gains or losses are amortized over the lease period.

The assets leased out under operating lease contracts to other entities in the Group are treated in the consolidated financial statements as for own use, and thus rental expense and income is eliminated and the corresponding depreciation is recognize.

2.2.20 Consolidated statements of recognized income and expenses

The consolidated statements of recognized income and expenses reflect the income and expenses generated each year. Such statement distinguishes between income and expenses recognized in the consolidated income statements and “Other recognized income (expenses)” recognized directly in consolidated equity. “Other recognized income (expenses)” include the changes that have taken place in the year in the “Valuation adjustments” broken down by item.

The sum of the changes to the heading “Valuation adjustments” of the consolidated total equity and the consolidated profit for the year comprise the “Total recognized income/expenses of the year”.

2.2.21 Consolidated statements of changes in equity

The consolidated statements of changes in equity reflect all the movements generated in each year in each of the headings of the consolidated equity, including those from transactions undertaken with shareholders when they act as such, and those due to changes in accounting criteria or corrections of errors, if any.

The applicable regulations establish that certain categories of assets and liabilities are recognized at their fair value with a charge to equity. These charges, known as “Valuation adjustments” (see Note 31), are included in the Group’s total consolidated equity net of tax effect, which has been recognized as deferred tax assets or liabilities, as appropriate.

2.2.22 Consolidated statements of cash flows

The indirect method has been used for the preparation of the consolidated statement of cash flows. This method starts from the entity’s consolidated profit and adjusts its amount for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments, and items of income or expense associated with cash flows classified as investment or finance. As well as cash, short-term, highly liquid investments subject to a low risk of changes in value, such as cash and deposits in central banks, are classified as cash and equivalents.

When preparing these financial statements the following definitions have been used:

 

 

Cash flows: Inflows and outflows of cash and equivalents.

 

 

Operating activities: The typical activities of credit institutions and other activities that cannot be classified as investment or financing activities.

 

 

Investing activities: The acquisition, sale or other disposal of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents or in operating activities.

 

 

Financing activities: Activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the Group’s equity and of liabilities that do not form part of operating activities.

2.2.23 Entities and branches located in countries with hyperinflationary economies

In order to assess whether an economy is under hyperinflation, the country’s economic environment is evaluated, analyzing whether certain circumstances exist, such as:

 

 

The country’s population prefers to keep its wealth or savings in non-monetary assets or in a relatively stable foreign currency;

 

 

Prices may be quoted in that currency;

 

F-37


Table of Contents
 

Interest rates, wages and prices are linked to a price index;

 

 

The cumulative inflation rate over three years is approaching, or exceeds, 100%.

The fact that any of these circumstances is present will not be a decisive factor in considering an economy hyperinflationary, but it does provide some reasons to consider it as such.

Since 2009, the economy of Venezuela can be considered hyperinflationary under the above criteria. As a result, the financial statements of the BBVA Group’s entities located in Venezuela (see Note 3) have therefore been adjusted to correct for the effects of inflation.

2.3     Recent IFRS pronouncements

Changes introduced in 2013

The following modifications to the IFRS standards or their interpretations (hereinafter “IFRIC”) came into force in 2013. They have not had a significant impact on the BBVA Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year, other than those pronouncements mentioned in Note 2.1.

IFRS 10 – “Consolidated Financial Statements”

IFRS 10 establishes a single consolidation model based on the principle of control, and applicable to all types of entities. Likewise, it introduces a definition of control, according to which a reporting entity controls another entity when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect the amount of returns through its power over the entity.

The new standard will modify IAS 27 - “Consolidated and separate financial statements” (which will remain in effect solely for separate financial statements) and will replace SIC 12 - “Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities” and shall apply beginning on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this standard by the European Union means that it will come into effect beginning on January 1, 2014 at the latest. However, early adoption is permitted. In this case it must be applied together with IFRS 11 and IFRS 12.

IFRS 11 – “Joint arrangements”

IFRS 11 introduces new consolidation principles applicable to all joint arrangements and replaces SIC 13 - “Jointly Controlled Entities” and IAS 31 - “Interests in Joint Ventures”. The new standard will modify IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, which will remain effective for associate and joint venture entities.

The new standard defines joint arrangements and establishes that they shall be classified as joint operations or as joint ventures based on the rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. A joint operation is defined as an operation where the parties who have joint control have rights to the assets of the arrangement and obligations to the liabilities of the arrangement. A joint venture is defined as a venture where the parties who have joint control have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Joint operations shall be accounted for by including in the financial statements of the controlling entities the assets, liabilities, income and expenses corresponding to them according to the contractual agreement. Joint ventures shall be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. They can no longer be accounted for by the proportionate consolidation method.

IFRS 11 shall apply beginning on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this standard by the European Union allows for its application by January 1, 2014 at the latest. However, early adoption is permitted. In this case it must be applied together with IFRS 10 and IFRS 12. The impact of this standard for the BBVA Group is summarized in Note 2.1.

IFRS 12 – “Disclosure of interests in other entities”

IFRS 12 is a new standard on the disclosure requirements for all types of holdings in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities.

 

F-38


Table of Contents

IFRS 12 shall apply beginning on January 1, 2013. The adoption of this standard by the European Union allows for its application by January 1, 2014 at the latest. However, early adoption is permitted. In this case it must be applied together with IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.

IFRS 13 – “Fair value measurement”

IFRS 13 provides guidelines for fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. Under the new definition, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The requirements do not modify the existing criteria to recognize an asset or liability at fair value. However, they do provide a guide about how fair value should be measured when its use is required or permitted by other standards. The main impact of IFRS 13 for the BBVA Group is related to credit risk valuation of derivative positions; both asset “Credit Valuation Adjustment” (CVA) and liability “Debit Valuation Adjustment” (DVA). The impact in the Group’s Income Statement as of June 30, 2013 is not material.

Amended IAS 1 – “Presentation of financial statements”

The modifications made to IAS 1 include improvements and clarifications regarding the presentation of “Other comprehensive income” (valuation adjustments). The main change introduced is that the presentation of the items must distinguish those that can be reclassified to earnings in the future from those that cannot.

Amended IAS 19 – “Employee benefits”

The amended IAS 19 introduces modifications to the accounting of post-employment benefit liabilities and commitments.

 

 

All changes in the fair value of assets from post-employment plans and obligations in the defined benefit plans shall be recognized in the period in which they occur; they shall be recognized as valuation adjustments in equity and shall not be considered as earnings in future years.

 

 

The presentation of fair value changes in assets in plans and changes in post-employment benefit obligations of defined-benefit plans has been clarified.

 

 

Greater disclosure of information is required.

Fourth annual improvements project for various IFRS

Fourth IFRS Annual Improvements project introduces small modifications and clarifications to IAS 1 - Presentation of financial statements, IAS 16 – Property, plant and equipment, IAS 32 – Financial instruments: presentation and IAS 34 - Interim financial reporting.

Amended IFRS 7 – “Financial Instruments: Information to be disclosed”

The changes made to IFRS 7 introduce new disclosures of information on asset and liability offsetting. Entities must submit a breakdown of information on the gross and net amounts of those financial assets that have been or may be offset, and for all recognized financial instruments included in some type of master offset agreement, regardless of whether they have been netted or not.

Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective as of June 30, 2013

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 obligatory as of June 30, 2013. Although in some cases the IASB permits early adoption before they come into force, the BBVA Group has not done so as of this date, as it is still analyzing the effects that will result from them.

IFRS 9 – “Financial instruments - classification and measurement”

On November 12, 2009, the IASB published IFRS 9 – “Financial Instruments” as the first stage of its plan to replace IAS 39 – “Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement”. IFRS 9, which introduces new classification and measurement requirements for financial assets, will be mandatory from January 1, 2015 onwards, although early adoption has been permitted from December 31, 2009 onwards. However, the European Commission has decided not to adopt IFRS 9 and postpone its coming into force, thus making it impossible for European entities to apply this standard early.

 

F-39


Table of Contents

The new standard includes significant differences with respect to the current one. It includes the following:

 

 

Approval of a new classification model based on two single categories of amortized cost and fair value;

 

 

Elimination of the current “Held-to-maturity-investments” and “Available-for-sale financial assets” categories;

 

 

Limitation of the analysis of impairment of assets measured at amortized cost; and

 

 

No separation of embedded derivatives in financial contracts on the entity’s assets.

Amended IAS 32 – “Financial Instruments: Presentation”

The changes made to IAS 32 clarify the following aspects on asset and liability offsetting:

 

 

The legal right to net recognized amounts must not depend on a future event and must be legally enforceable under all circumstances, including cases of default or insolvency of either party.

 

 

Settlements in which the following conditions are met shall be accepted as equivalent to “settlements for net amount”: all, or practically all of the credit and liquidity risk is eliminated; and the settlement of the assets and liabilities is carried out in a single settlement process.

These modifications will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2014, although early adoption is permitted.

Amended IFRS 10 - “Consolidated Financial Statements”, Amended IFRS 12 – “Disclosure of interests in other entities” and Amended IAS 27 – “Consolidated and separate financial statements”

The changes to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 define investment entities and provide an exception to the consolidation requirements requiring investment entities to measure particular subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss, rather than consolidate them as per IFRS 9.

However, the parent company of an investment entity must consolidate all entities under its control, including those controlled through an investment entity, unless the parent company is also an investment entity.

Furthermore, these amendments include new disclosures that will allow the users of such information to evaluate the nature and financial impact of these investments made through investment entities.

These modifications will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2014, although early adoption is permitted.

IFRIC 21 “Levies”

This Interpretation addresses the accounting for a liability to pay a levy if that liability is within the scope of IAS 37. It also addresses the accounting for a liability to pay a levy whose timing and amount is certain.

Consequently, the obligating event will be recognized when the obligation to pay the levy is triggered. If the obligating event is the reaching of a minimum activity threshold, such as a minimum amount of revenue or sales generated or outputs produced, the corresponding liability is recognized when that minimum activity threshold is reached.

This interpretation does not affect the treatment of those taxes ruled by other IAS standards (for example, Income Tax) nor penalties or sanctions due to other regulatory breaches.

These modifications will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2014, although early adoption is permitted.

 

F-40


Table of Contents

Amended IAS 36 – “Impairment of Assets”

The changes made to IAS 36 remove the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (group of units) for which the carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to that unit (group of units) is significant when compared to the entity’s total carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, and, on the other hand, require that entities disclose the recoverable amount of an individual asset (including goodwill) or a cash-generating unit for which the entity has recognized or reversed an impairment loss during the reporting period. Furthermore, additional disclosures of information will be required when the recoverable amount is the same as the fair value less costs of disposal.

These modifications will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2014, although early adoption is permitted.

Amended IAS 39 – “Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement. Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting”

The new IAS 39 introduces an exception to the requirement to discontinue hedge accounting for those novations that, as a consequence of a change in law or regulation, replace the original counterparty of the hedging element for a central counterparty of another entity, such as the clearing house, as long as the change does not result in changes to the terms of the original derivative other than changes directly attributable to the change in counterparty.

These modifications will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2014, although early adoption is permitted.

Shareholder remuneration system

Shareholder remuneration system

A shareholder remuneration system called the “Dividend Option” was implemented in 2011 and 2012. The Bank’s Shareholders’ Annual General Meeting held on March 15, 2013 once more approved the establishment of the “Dividend Option” program for 2013, through two share capital increases charged to voluntary reserves, under similar conditions to those established in 2011 and 2012. Under this remuneration scheme, BBVA offers its shareholders the chance to receive part of their remuneration in the form of free shares; however, they can still choose to receive it in cash by selling the rights assigned to them in each capital increase either to BBVA (by the Bank exercising its commitment to purchase the free assignment rights) or on the market.

In April 2013, the Executive Committee approved the execution of the first of the capital increases charged to reserves as agreed by the AGM held on March 15, 2013 to execute the Dividend Option. As a result of this increase, the Bank’s common stock increased by 40,862,919.86, (83,393,714 shares at a 0.49 par value each). 85.71% of shareholders opted to receive their remuneration in the form of shares (see Note 27). The other 14.29% of the right owners opted to sell the rights assigned to them to BBVA, and as a result, BBVA acquired 778,801,510 rights for a total amount of 94,234,982.71; said shareholders were rewarded in cash form.

Dividends

On January 10, 2013, it was distributed the second interim dividend against 2012 results, for an amount of 0.10 gross (0.079 net) per outstanding share.

At its meeting of June 24, 2013, the Board of Directors of BBVA approved the payment of an interim dividend against 2013 earnings of 0.100 gross (0.079 net) per outstanding share to be paid on July 10, 2013.

Earnings per share

According to the criteria established by IAS 33:

 

 

Basic earnings per share are determined by dividing the “Profit attributable to Parent Company” by the weighted average number of shares outstanding throughout the year (i.e., excluding the average number of treasury shares held over the year).

 

 

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by using a method similar to that used to calculate basic earnings per share; the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and the profit attributable to the parent company, if appropriate, is adjusted to take into account the potential dilutive effect of certain financial instruments that could generate the issue of new Bank shares (share option commitments with employees, warrants on parent company shares, convertible debt instruments, etc.).

The following transactions were carried out in 2013 and 2012 with an impact on the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

 

 

The Bank carried out several share capital increases in 2013 and 2012 (see Note 27). According to IAS 33, when calculating the basic and diluted earnings per share, all years prior to the exercise of the rights must be taken into account, and a corrective factor applied to the denominator (the weighted average number of shares outstanding) only in the case of capital increases other than those for the conversion of securities into shares. This corrective factor is the result of dividing the fair value per share immediately before the exercise of rights by the theoretical ex-rights fair value per share. The basic and diluted earnings per share for 2012 were recalculated on this basis.

 

 

In the first half of 2013, the bank agreed to carry out an issue of contingent convertible perpetual securities into ordinary shares of BBVA, without pre-emption rights, for a total amount of 1.5 billion US dollars. Since the conversion of these perpetual securities will be made if certain conditions are met these shares will be considered to be in circulation for purposes of earnings per basic share calculations only after all applicable conditions have been met. Until that point, they will be considered only for purposes of earnings per diluted share calculations.

As required by IAS 33, the table below depicts basic and diluted earnings per share for discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (see Notes 1.3. and 3).

Operating segment reporting

Business operating segment reporting represents a basic tool in the oversight and management of the BBVA Group’s various activities. The Group compiles reporting information on as disaggregated a level as possible, and all data relating to the businesses these units manage is recognized in full. These minimum level units are then aggregated in accordance with the organizational structure determined by the Group management into higher level units and, ultimately, the operating segments themselves. Similarly, all the entities that make up the BBVA Group are also assigned to the different business units according to the geographical areas where they carry out their activity.

In the first half of 2013 progress was made on the geographical reporting structure of the BBVA Group’s business areas. Consequently, Spain includes the portfolios, finance and structural euro balance-sheet positions managed by ALCO that were previously included in Corporate Activities. In addition, because of the particular nature of their management, the assets and results pertaining to the real-estate business in Spain are presented separately. This covers lending to real-estate developers (previously integrated in Spain) and foreclosed real estate assets which were included in Corporate Activities in the years prior to 2013.

 

F-46


Table of Contents

As a result, the composition of the business areas in 2013 is different from that presented in 2012, and is now as follows:

 

 

Banking activity in Spain (from now-on, Spain) which as in previous years includes: The Retail network, with the segments of individual customers, private banking, and small businesses; Corporate and Business Banking (CBB),which handles the SMEs, corporations and public sector in the country; Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB), which includes business with large corporations and multinational groups and the trading floor and distribution business in the same geographical area; and other units, among them BBVA Seguros and Asset Management (management of mutual and pension funds in Spain). In addition, starting in 2013 it also includes the portfolios, finance and structural interest-rate positions of the euro balance sheet.

 

 

Real-estate activity in Spain. This new area has been set up with the aim of providing specialized and structured management of the assets of the real-estate area accumulated by the Group as a result of the crisis in Spain. It therefore mainly combines loans to real-estate developers (previously reported in Spain) and foreclosed real-estate assets (previously reported in Corporate Activities).

 

 

Eurasia, which as in 2012 includes the business carried out in the rest of Europe and Asia, i.e. the retail and wholesale businesses of the Group in the area. It also includes BBVA’s stakes in the Turkish bank Garanti (In accordance with IFRS 8, the analysis of this business segment follows management criteria, which includes 25.01% of the assets and liabilities of Garanti) and the Chinese banks CNCB and CIFH.

 

 

Mexico, which includes the banking and insurance businesses in the country (the pension business was sold in the first quarter of 2013). Within its banking activity, Mexico includes retail business through its Commercial Banking, Consumer Finance and Corporate and Institutional Banking units; and wholesale banking through CIB.

 

 

The United States encompasses the Group’s businesses in the United States. The historical series in this area has been reconstructed to exclude the business in Puerto Rico, which was sold in December 2012, and include it in the Corporate Center.

 

 

South America, includes the banking and insurance businesses that BBVA carries out in the region.

In addition to the above, all the areas include a remainder made up of other businesses and of a supplement that includes deletions and allocations not assigned to the units making up the above areas.

Finally, Corporate Center is an aggregate that contains the rest of the items that have not been allocated to the operating segments, as it basically corresponds to the Group’s holding function. It groups together the costs of the headquarters that have a 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 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 pensioners; goodwill and other intangibles.

The figures corresponding to 2012 have been restated according to the same criteria and the same structure of business areas as explained above and also in Note 3 (sale of pensions business in Latin America). This will allow for homogeneous year-on-year comparisons.

Risk management

The BBVA Group understands the risk management function as one of the essential and differentiating elements of its competitive strategy. In this context, the aim of the Global Risk Management (GRM) Corporate Area is to preserve the BBVA Group’s solvency, help define its strategy with respect to risk and assume and facilitate the development of its businesses. Its activity is governed by the following principles:

 

 

The risk management function is single, independent and global.

 

 

The risks assumed by the BBVA Group must be compatible with the capital adequacy target and must be identified, measured and assessed. Risk monitoring and management procedures and sound mechanisms of control and mitigation systems must likewise be in place.

 

 

All risks must be managed integrally during their life cycle, and be treated differently depending on their nature and with active portfolio management based on a common measure (economic capital).

 

 

It is each operating segment’s responsibility to propose and maintain its own risk profile, within its autonomy in the corporate action framework (defined as the set of risk control policies and procedures defined by the BBVA Group), using an appropriate risk infrastructure to control their risks.

 

 

The infrastructures created for risk control must be equipped with means (in terms of people, tools, databases, information systems and procedures) that are sufficient for their purpose, so that there is a clear definition of roles and responsibilities, thus ensuring efficient allocation of resources among the corporate area and the risk units in operating segments.

 

F-48


Table of Contents

In the light of these principles, the BBVA Group has developed an integrated risk management system that is structured around three main components: a corporate risk governance scheme (with suitable segregation of duties and responsibilities); a set of tools, channels and procedures that constitute the various risk management regimes; and an internal control system that is appropriate to the nature and size of the risks assumed.

The main risks associated with financial instruments are:

 

 

Credit risk: This arises from the probability that one party to a financial instrument will fail to meet its contractual obligations for reasons of insolvency or inability to pay and cause a financial loss for the other party. This includes management of counterparty risk, issuer credit risk, liquidation risk and country risk.

 

 

Market risk: This is originated by the likelihood of losses in the value of the positions held as a result of changes in the market prices of financial instruments. It includes three types of risks:

 

 

Interest-rate risk: This arises from variations in market interest rates.

 

 

Currency risk: This is the risk resulting from variations in foreign-currency exchange rates.

 

 

Price risk: This is the risk resulting from variations in market prices, either due to factors specific to the instrument itself, or alternatively to factors which affect all the instruments traded on a specific market.

 

 

Liquidity risk: This arises from the possibility that a company cannot meet its payment commitments, or to do so must resort to borrowing funds under onerous conditions, or risking its image and the reputation of the entity.

 

 

Structural risk, includes the following:

 

 

Interest rate structural risk: Potential variation of Interest Margin and/or equity due to interest rate fluctuations.

 

 

Exchange rate structural risk: Potential negative impact from fluctuations in exchange rates on the capital ratios and on the contribution to earnings of international investments maintained on a long-term basis by the Group,

 

 

Structural equity risk: Potential negative impact derived from investments in industrial and financial entities with medium- and long-term investment horizons.

 

 

Operational risk: This arises from the possibility of human error, inadequate or faulty internal processes, system failures or external events. This definition includes the legal risk and excludes strategic and/or business risk and reputational risk.

Corporate governance system

The BBVA Group has developed a system of corporate governance that is in line with the best international practices and adapted to the requirements of the regulators in the country in which its different business units operate.

With respect to the risks assumed by the BBVA Group, the Board of Directors of the Bank is responsible for establishing the general principles that define the risk objectives profile of the entities, approving the management policies for control and management of these risks and ensuring regular monitoring of the internal systems of risk information and control. The Board of Directors is supported in this function by the Executive Committee and the Risk Committee. The main mission of the latter is to assist the Board of Directors in carrying out its functions associated with risk control and management.

The risk management and control function is distributed among the risk units within the operating segments and the Corporate Global Risk Management (GRM) Area, which ensures compliance with global policy and strategies. The risk units in the operating segments propose and manage the risk profiles within their area of autonomy, though they always respect the corporate framework for action.

 

F-49


Table of Contents

The Corporate GRM Area combines a vision by risk type with a global vision. It is divided into six units, as follows:

 

 

Corporate Risk Management and Risk Portfolio Management: Responsible for management and control of the BBVA Group’s financial risks. In addition, this area focuses on fiduciary risk management, insurance, Asset Management and monitors the retail banking business from a cross functional point of view.

 

 

Operational and Control Risk: Manages operational risk, internal risk area control and the internal validation of the measurement models and the acceptance of new risks.

 

 

Technology & Methodologies: Responsible for the management of the technological and methodological developments required for risk management in the Group.

 

 

Technical Secretariat: Undertakes the contrast of the proposals made to the Risk Management Committee and the Risk Committee; prepares and promotes the regulations applicable to social and environmental risk management.

 

 

Planning, Monitoring & Reporting: Prepares reporting requirements, both internal and regulatory, for those risks the Group is exposed to. It is also responsible for credit and capital risk functions. Lastly, it combines the planning, monitoring and reporting functions of all stress test models – internal and regulatory.

 

 

GRM South America: Responsible for credit risk management and monitoring in South America.

This structure gives the Corporate GRM Area reasonable security with respect to:

 

 

integration, control and management of all the Group’s risks;

 

 

the application throughout the Group of standard principles, policies and metrics; and

 

 

the necessary knowledge of each geographical area and each business.

This organizational scheme is complemented by various committees, which include the following:

 

 

The Global Risk Management Committee: This committee is made up of the risk managers from the risk units located in the operating segments and the managers of the Corporate GRM Area units. Among its responsibilities are the following: establishing the Group’s risk strategy (especially as regards policies and structure of this function in the Group), presenting its proposal to the appropriate governing bodies for their approval, monitoring the management and control of risks in the Group and adopting any actions necessary.

 

 

The GRM Management Committee: Made up of the executives of the Group’s risk unit and those responsible for risks in the different countries and operating segments. It reviews the Group’s risk strategy and the general implementation of the main risk projects and initiatives in the operating segments.

 

 

The Risk Management Committee: Its permanent members are the Global Risk Management director, the Corporate Risk Management director and the Technical Secretariat. The other committee members propose the operations that are analyzed in its working sessions. The committee analyzes and, if appropriate, authorizes financial programs and operations within its scope and submits the proposals whose amounts exceed the set limits to the Risks Committee, when its opinion on them is favorable.

 

 

The Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO): The committee is responsible for actively managing structural interest rate and foreign exchange risk positions, global liquidity and the Group’s capital base.

 

 

The Global Corporate Assurance Committee: Its task is to undertake a review at both Group and business unit level of the control environment and the effectiveness of the operational risk internal control and management systems, as well as to monitor and analyze the main operational risks the Group is subject to, including those that are cross-cutting in nature.

 

 

The Technology and Methodologies Committee: The committee decides on the effectiveness of the models and infrastructures developed to manage and control risks that are integrated in the operating segments, within the framework of the operational model of Global Risk Management.

 

 

The New Businesses and Products Committees: Their functions are to analyze and, where appropriate, give technical approval to and implement new businesses, products and services prior to their marketing: to undertake subsequent control and monitoring of new authorized products; and to foster orderly business operations to ensure they develop in a controlled environment.

Tools, circuits and procedures

The BBVA Group has an established integrated risk management system that meets the needs derived from different types of risk to which it is subject. It is set out in a number of manuals. These manuals provide the measurement tools for the acceptance, assessment and monitoring of risks, define the circuits and procedures applicable to operations by entities and the criteria for their management.

The BBVA Group’s main activities with respect to the management and control of its risks are as follows:

 

 

Calculation of exposure to risks of the different portfolios, taking into account any possible mitigating factors (guarantees, balance netting, collaterals, etc.).

 

 

Calculation of the probabilities of default (hereinafter, “PD”).

 

 

Estimation of the foreseeable losses in each portfolio, assigning a PD to new operations (rating and scoring).

 

 

Measurement of the risk values of the portfolios in different scenarios through historical simulations.

 

 

Establishment of limits to potential losses according to the different risks incurred.

 

 

Determination of the possible impacts of structural risks on the BBVA Group’s consolidated income statement.

 

 

Determination of limits and alerts to guarantee the BBVA Group’s liquidity.

 

 

Identification and quantification of operational risks by business lines to make their mitigation easier through the appropriate corrective actions.

 

 

Definition of efficient circuits and procedures to achieve the established objectives, etc.

Internal control system

The BBVA Group’s internal control system is based on the best practices developed in “Enterprise Risk Management – Integrated Framework” by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) as well as in “Framework for Internal Control Systems in Banking Organizations” by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). The Group’s system for internal control is therefore part of the Integral Risk Management Framework.

This is the framework within the BBVA Group that involves its Board of Directors, management and its entire staff. It is designed to identify and manage risks faced by the Group entities in such a way as to ensure that the business targets established by the BBVA Group’s management are met. The Internal Control Framework is made up of specialized units (Regulatory Compliance, Global Accounting & Information Management / Internal Financial Control, Internal Risk Control, IT Risk, Fraud & Security and Operations Control and Direction of Production of support units, and Legal Services), and the Corporate Operational Risk Management (part of Operational Risk) and Internal Audit functions.

Find following list shows the main principles that support the internal control system:

 

 

Its core element is the “process.”

 

 

The form in which the risks are identified, assessed and mitigated must be unique for each process; and the systems, tools and information flows that support the internal control and operational risk activities must be unique, or at least be administered fully by a single unit.

 

 

The responsibility for internal control lies with the BBVA Group’s business units. These units, along with the specialized units mentioned above, are responsible for the implementation of the system of control within its scope of responsibility and managing the existing risk by proposing any improvements to processes it considers appropriate.

 

 

Given that some business units have a global scope of responsibility, there are cross-cutting control functions which supplement the control mechanisms mentioned earlier.

 

 

The Operational Risk Management Committee in each business unit is responsible for approving suitable mitigation plans for each existing risk or weakness. This committee structure culminates at the Group’s Global Corporate Assurance Committee.

Risk concentrations

In the trading area, limits are approved each year by the Board of Directors’ Risk Committee on exposures to trading, structural interest rate, structural exchange rate, equity and liquidity; this applies both to the banking entities and to the asset management, pension and insurance businesses. These limits factor in many variables, including economic capital and earnings volatility criteria, and are reinforced with alert triggers and a stop-loss scheme.

In relation to credit risk, maximum exposure limits are set by customer and by country; generic limits are also set for maximum exposure to specific operations or products. Limits are allocated based on iso-risk curves, determined as the sum of maximum foreseeable losses and economic capital, and its ratings-based equivalence in terms of gross nominal exposure.

There is a threshold in terms of a maximum risk concentration level of 10% of BBVA Group’s equity: up to this level the authorization of new risks requires in-depth knowledge of the client, and the markets and sectors in which it operates.

For the retail portfolio, potential concentrations of risk in geographical areas or certain risk profiles are analyzed in relation to overall risk and earnings volatility; where appropriate, the mitigating measures considered most suitable are implemented.

 

7.1

Credit risk

7.1.1    Maximum credit risk exposure

The BBVA Group’s maximum credit risk exposure by headings in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is given 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.

In the case of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, exposure to credit risk is considered equal to its gross accounting value, not including certain valuation adjustments (impairment losses, derivatives and others), with the sole exception of trading 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 carrying amount.

Our calculation of risk exposure for derivatives is based on the sum of two factors: the derivatives market value and their potential risk (or “add-on”).

The first factor, market value, reflects the difference between original commitments and market values on the reporting date (mark-to-market). As indicated in Note 2.2.1 to the consolidated financial statements, derivatives are accounted for as of each reporting date at fair value according to IAS 39.

The second factor, potential risk (‘add-on’), is an estimate (using internal models) of the maximum increase to be expected on risk exposure over a derivative market 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.

 

F-52


Table of Contents

Credit risk originating from the derivatives in which the Group operates is mitigated through the contractual rights existing for offsetting accounts at the time of their settlement. This has reduced the Group’s exposure to credit risk to 31,635 million as of June 30, 2013 and 32,586 million as of December 31, 2012.

7.1.2    Mitigation of credit risk, collateralized credit risk and other credit enhancements

In most cases, maximum credit risk exposure is reduced by collateral, credit enhancements and other actions which mitigate the Group’s exposure. The BBVA Group applies a credit risk hedging and mitigation policy deriving from a banking approach focused on relationship banking. The existence of guarantees could be a necessary but not sufficient instrument for accepting risks, as the assumption of risks by the Group requires prior evaluation of the debtor’s capacity for repayment, or that the debtor can generate sufficient resources to allow the amortization of the risk incurred under the agreed terms.

The policy of accepting risks is therefore organized into three different levels in the BBVA Group:

 

 

Analysis of the financial risk of the operation, based on the debtor’s capacity for repayment or generation of funds;

 

 

The constitution of guarantees that are adequate, or at any rate generally accepted, for the risk assumed, in any of the generally accepted forms: monetary, secured, personal or hedge guarantees; and finally,

 

 

Assessment of the repayment risk (asset liquidity) of the guarantees received.

The procedures for the management and valuation of collaterals are set out in the Internal Manuals on Credit Risk Management Policies and Procedures (retail and wholesale), which establish the basic principles for credit risk management, including the management of collaterals assigned in transactions with customers.

The methods used to value the collateral are in line with the best market practices and imply the use of appraisal of real-estate collateral, the market price in market securities, the trading price of shares in mutual funds, etc. All the collaterals assigned must be properly drawn up and entered in the corresponding register. They must also have the approval of the Group’s legal units.

The following is a description of the main types of collateral for each financial instrument class:

 

 

Financial instruments held for trading: The guarantees or credit enhancements obtained directly from the issuer or counterparty are implicit in the clauses of the instrument.

 

 

Trading and hedging derivatives: In derivatives, credit risk is minimized through contractual netting agreements, where positive- and negative-value derivatives with the same counterparty are offset for their net balance. There may likewise be other kinds of guarantees, depending on counterparty solvency and the nature of the transaction.

The BBVA Group has a broad range of credit derivatives. The Group uses credit derivatives to mitigate credit risk in its loan portfolio and other cash positions and to hedge risks assumed in market transactions with other clients and counterparties.

Derivatives may follow different settlement and netting agreements, under the rules of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA). The most common types of settlement triggers include bankruptcy of the reference credit institution, acceleration of indebtedness, failure to pay, restructuring, repudiation and dissolution of the entity. Since the Group typically confirms over 99% of the credit derivative transactions in the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), substantially the entire credit derivatives portfolio is registered and matched against BBVA’s counterparties.

 

 

Other financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss and Available-for-sale financial assets: The guarantees or credit enhancements obtained directly from the issuer or counterparty are inherent to the structure of the instrument.

 

 

Loans and receivables:

 

 

Loans and advances to credit institutions: These usually only have the counterparty’s personal guarantee.

 

 

Loans and advances to customers: Most of these operations are backed by personal guarantees extended by the counterparty. There may also be collateral to secure loans and advances to customers (such as mortgages, cash guarantees, pledged securities and other collateral), or to obtain other credit enhancements (bonds, hedging, etc.).

7.1.3    Credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired

The BBVA Group has tools (“scoring” and “rating”) that enable it to rank the credit quality of its operations and customers based on an assessment and its correspondence with the probability of default (“PD”) scales. To analyze the performance of PD, the Group has a series of tracking tools and historical databases that collect the pertinent internally generated information, which can basically be grouped together into scoring and rating models.

Scoring

Scoring is a decision-making model that contributes to both the arrangement and management of retail loans: consumer loans, mortgages, credit cards for individuals, etc. Scoring is the tool used to decide to originate or grant a loan, what amount should be granted and what strategies can help establish the price, because it is an algorithm that sorts transactions by their credit quality. This algorithm enables the BBVA Group to assign a score to each transaction requested by a customer, on the basis of a series of objective characteristics that have statistically been shown to discriminate between the quality and risk of this type of transactions. The advantage of scoring lies in its simplicity and homogeneity: all that is needed is a series of objective data for each customer, and this data is analyzed automatically using an algorithm.

There are three types of scoring, based on the information used and on its purpose:

 

 

Reactive scoring: measures the risk of a transaction requested by an individual using variables relating to the requested transaction and to the customer’s socio-economic data available at the time of the request. The new transaction is approved or rejected depending on the score given.

 

 

Behavioral scoring: scores transactions for a given product in an outstanding risk portfolio of the entity, enabling the credit rating to be tracked and the customer’s needs to be anticipated. It uses transaction and customer variables available internally. Specifically, variables that refer to the behavior of both the product and the customer.

Proactive scoring: gives a score at customer level using variables related to the individual’s general behavior with the entity and to his/her payment behavior in all the contracted products. The purpose is to track the customer’s credit quality and it is used to pre-grant new transactions.

Rating

Rating tools, as opposed to scoring tools, do not assess transactions but focus on the rating of customers instead: companies, corporations, SMEs, public authorities, etc. A rating tool is an instrument that, based on a detailed financial study, helps determine a customer’s ability to meet his/her financial obligations. The final rating is usually a combination of various factors: on one hand, quantitative factors, and on the other hand, qualitative factors. It is a middle road between an individual analysis and a statistical analysis.

The main difference between ratings and scorings is that the latter are used to assess retail products, while ratings use a wholesale banking customer approach. Moreover, scorings only include objective variables, while ratings add qualitative information. And although both are based on statistical studies, adding a business view, rating tools give more weight to the business criterion compared to scoring tools.

For portfolios where the number of defaults is very low (sovereign risk, corporates, financial entities, etc.) the internal information is supplemented by “benchmarking” of the external rating agencies (Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch). To this end, each year the PDs compiled by the rating agencies at each level of risk rating are compared, and the measurements compiled by the various agencies are mapped against those of the BBVA master rating scale.

Once the probability of default of a transaction or customer has been calculated, a “business cycle adjustment” is carried out. This is a means of establishing a measure of risk that goes beyond the time of its calculation. The aim is to capture representative information of the behavior of portfolios over a complete economic cycle. This probability is linked to the Master Rating Scale prepared by the BBVA Group to enable uniform classification of the Group’s various asset risk portfolios.

These different levels and their probability of default were calculated by using as a reference the rating scales and default rates provided by the external agencies Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. These calculations establish the levels of probability of default for the BBVA Group’s Master Rating Scale. Although this scale is common to the entire Group, the calibrations (mapping scores to PD sections/Master Rating Scale levels) are carried out at tool level for each country in which the Group has tools available.

7.1.4    Policies 

for preventing excessive risk concentration

In order to prevent the build-up of excessive concentrations of credit risk at the individual, country and sector levels, the BBVA Group maintains maximum permitted risk concentration indices updated at individual and portfolio sector levels tied to the various observable variables within the field of credit risk management. The limit on the Group’s exposure or financial commitment to a specific customer therefore depends on the customer’s credit rating, the nature of the risks involved, and the Group’s presence in a given market, based on the following guidelines:

 

 

The aim is, as far as possible, to combine the customer’s credit needs (commercial/financial, short-term/long-term, etc.) with the interests of the Group.

 

 

Any legal limits that may exist concerning risk concentration are taken into account (relationship between risks with a customer and the capital of the entity that assumes them), the markets, the macroeconomic situation, etc.

 

 

To undertake a proper management of risk concentration, and if necessary generate actions on such risks, a number of different levels of monitoring have been established according to the amount of global risks maintained with the same customer. Any risk concentrations with the same customer or group that may generate losses of more than 18 million are authorized and monitored by the Risk Committee of the Bank’s Board of Directors.

 

7.1.5    Sovereign

risk exposure

Sovereign risk management

The risk associated with the transactions involving sovereign risk is identified, measured, controlled and tracked by a centralized unit integrated in the BBVA Group’s Risk Area. Its basic functions involve the preparation of individual reports on the countries where sovereign risk exists (called “financial programs”), tracking such risks, assigning ratings to these countries and, in general, supporting the Group in terms of reporting requirements for any transactions involving sovereign risk. The risk policies established in the financial programs are approved by the relevant risk committees.

The country risk unit tracks the evolution of the risks associated with the various countries to which the Group are exposed (including sovereign risk) on an ongoing basis in order to adapt its risk and mitigation policies to any macroeconomic and political changes that may occur. Moreover, it regularly updates its internal ratings and forecasts for these countries. The internal rating assignment methodology is based on the assessment of quantitative and qualitative parameters which are in line with those used by certain multilateral organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB), rating agencies and export credit organizations.

Valuation and impairment methods

The valuation methods used to assess the instruments that are subject to sovereign risks are the same ones used for other instruments included in the relevant portfolios and are detailed in Note 8 to these consolidated financial statements. They take into account the exceptional circumstances that have taken place over the last two years in connection with the sovereign debt crisis in Europe.

Specifically, the fair value of sovereign debt securities of European countries has been considered equivalent to their listed price in active markets (Level 1 as defined in Note 8).

Reclassification of securities between portfolios

Note 14 describes the reclassification carried out in the third quarter of 2011, in accordance with IFRS-7, amounting to 1,817 million in sovereign debt securities issued by Italy, Greece and Portugal from the heading “Available-for-sale financial assets” to the heading “Held-to-maturity investments” of the consolidated balance sheet.

7.2

Market risk

In addition to the most common market risks (mentioned earlier), other market risks have to be considered for the administration of certain positions: credit spread risk, basis risk, volatility and correlation risk.

Value at Risk (VaR) is the basic measure to manage and control the BBVA Group’s market risks. It estimates the maximum loss, with a given confidence level, that can be produced in market positions of a portfolio within a given time horizon. VaR is calculated in the Group at a 99% confidence level and a 1-day time horizon.

BBVA and BBVA Bancomer have received approval from the Bank of Spain to use a model developed by the BBVA Group to calculate bank capital requirements for market risk. This model estimates VaR in accordance with the “historical simulation” methodology, which involves estimating the losses or gains that would have been produced in the current portfolio if the changes in market conditions occurring over a specific period of time were repeated. Using this information, it infers the maximum foreseeable loss in the current portfolio with a given level of confidence. It has the advantage of precisely reflecting the historical distribution of the market variables and not requiring any assumption of specific probability distribution. The historical period used in this model is two years.

In addition, the Bank follows the guidelines set out by Spanish and European authorities regarding other metrics to meet the Bank of Spain’s regulatory requirements. The new measurements of market risk for the trading portfolio include the calculation of stressed VaR (which quantifies the level of risk in extreme historical situations) and the quantification of default risks and downgrading of credit ratings of bonds and credit portfolio derivatives.

The limits structure of the BBVA Group’s market risk determines a system of VaR and economic capital limits by market risk for each business unit, with specific ad-hoc sub-limits by type of risk, activity and trading desk.

Validity tests are performed periodically on the risk measurement models used by the Group. They estimate the maximum loss that could have been incurred in the positions assessed with a certain level of probability (backtesting), as well as measurements of the impact of extreme market events on risk positions (stress testing). As an additional control measure, backtesting is conducted at trading desk level in order to enable more specific monitoring of the validity of the measurement models.

Trends in market risk

The changes in the BBVA Group’s market risk in the six months ended December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, measured as VaR (without smoothing) with a 99% confidence level and a 1-day horizon, are as follows:

 

 

LOGO

The average VaR in the six months ended June 30, 2013 stood at 25 million, compared with 22 million in 2012. The number of risk factors currently used to measure portfolio risk is around 2,200. This number is dynamic and varies according to the possibility of doing business with other underlying assets and markets.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012, VaR amounted to 23 million and 30 million, respectively. These figures can be broken down as follows:

 

        

 

Millions of Euros

 
  VaR by Risk Factor        June

     December
2012
 
  Interest/Spread risk        26         35   
  Currency risk        2         3   
  Stock-market risk        2         3   
  Vega/Correlation risk        10         9

  Total        23         30   
  VaR average in the period        25         22   
  VaR max in the period        34         31   
  VaR min in the period        20         15   

(*) The diversification effect is the difference between the sum of the average individual risk factors and the total VaR figure that includes the implied correlation between all the variables and scenarios used in the measurement.

 

By type of market risk assumed by the Group’s trading portfolio, as of June 30, 2013, the main risks are interest-rate and credit spread risks, which decreased by 10 million on the figure for December 31, 2012. Currency risk decreased by 1 million and volatility and correlation risk increased by the same amount. Equity risk fell by 1 million.

The average daily change in VaR in the six months ended June 30, 2013 on 2012 is basically due to Global Market Bancomer and Global Market South America and Compass increased their average risk by 51% and 12%, respectively (with an average daily VaR in the six months ended June 30, 2013 of 8 million and 4 million, respectively). Global Market Europe decreased its average risk by 2% (with an average daily VaR in the six months ended June 30, 2013 of 13 million.

The internal market risk model is validated periodically by backtesting. In the six months ended June 30, 2013, BBVA S.A. and Bancomer were never greater than the daily VaR, thus validating the proper operation of the model throughout the period according to Basel criteria. This is why no significant changes have been made to the methodology of measurement or to the parameters of the current measurement model.

Stress testing is carried out using historical crisis scenarios. The base historical scenario is the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.

Economic crisis scenarios are also prepared ad hoc for each of the BBVA Group’s treasuries and updated monthly. The most significant market risk positions are identified for these scenarios, and an assessment is made of the impact that movements of market variables may have on them. The economic scenarios are established and analyzed by the Market Stress Committee.

BBVA continues to work on improving and enriching the information provided by the stress exercises. It prepares scenarios that are capable of detecting the possible combinations of impacts on market variables that may significantly affect the result of trading portfolios, thus completing the information provided by VaR and the historical scenarios and operating as an alert indicator that complements the normal policies of risk measurement and control.

Structural interest-rate risk

The aim of on-balance-sheet interest-rate risk management is to maintain the BBVA Group’s exposure to market interest-rate fluctuations at levels in keeping with its risk strategy and profile. In pursuance of this, the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) undertakes active balance sheet management through operations intended to optimize the levels of risk borne according to expected earnings and respect the maximum levels of accepted risk.

ALCO uses the interest-rate risk measurements performed by the corporate GRM area. Acting as an independent unit, the Risk Area periodically quantifies the impact that a variation of 100 basis points in market interest rates would have on the BBVA Group’s net interest income and economic value.

In addition, the Group performs probability calculations that determine the economic capital (maximum loss of economic value) and risk margin (maximum estimated loss of net interest income) originating from structural interest-rate risk in banking activity (excluding the Treasury area), based on interest rate curve simulation models. The Group regularly performs stress tests and sensitivity analyses to complement its assessment of its interest-rate risk profile.

All these risk measurements are subsequently analyzed and monitored. The levels of risk assumed and the degree of compliance with the limits authorized by the Executive Committee are reported to the various managing bodies of the BBVA Group.

Below are the average interest-rate risk exposure levels in terms of sensitivity of the main financial institutions in the BBVA Group in the six months period ended June 30, 2013:

As part of the measurement process, the BBVA Group has established the assumptions regarding the movement and behavior of certain items, such as those relating to products with no explicit or contractual maturity. These assumptions are based on studies that estimate the relationship between the interest rates on these products and market rates. They enable specific balances to be classified into trend-based balances (long-term) and seasonal or volatile balances (short-term residual maturity).

Structural currency risk

Structural currency risk is basically caused by exposure to variations in currency exchange rates that arise in the BBVA Group’s foreign subsidiaries and the provision of funds to foreign branches financed in a different currency to that of the investment.

Structural exchange-rate risk management in BBVA aims to minimize the potential negative impact from fluctuations in exchange rates on the capital ratios and on the contribution to earnings of international investments maintained on a long-term basis by the Group.

The Corporate Risk Management (“CRM”) area acts as an independent unit responsible for monitoring and analyzing risks, standardizing risk management metrics and providing tools that can anticipate potential deviations from targets. It also monitors the level of compliance with established risk limits, and reports regularly to the Risk Management Committee (“RMC”), the Board of Directors’ Risk Committee and the Executive Committee, particularly in the case of deviations in the levels of risk assumed.

The Balance Sheet Management unit, through the Assets and Liabilities Committee (“ALCO”), designs and executes the risk mitigation strategies with the main objective of minimizing the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on capital adequacy ratios, as well as assuring the equivalent value in euros of the foreign-currency earnings of the Group’s various subsidiaries, and adjusting transactions according to market expectations and hedging costs. The Balance Sheet Management area carries out this work by ensuring that the Group’s risk profile is, at all times, adapted to the framework defined by the limits structure authorized by the Executive Committee. To do so, it uses risk metrics obtained according to the corporate model designed by the corporate GRM area.

The corporate model is based on simulating exchange rate scenarios, based on historical trends for the past five years (based on weekly data), and evaluating the impact on capital ratios, equity and the Group’s income statement.

The risk mitigation measures aimed at reducing exchange-rate risk exposures are considered in calculating risk estimates. Diversification resulting from investments in different geographical areas is also considered, through the analysis of historical correlations between different currencies.

Our model provides a distribution of the impact on three core elements (capital ratios, equity and the Group’s income statement) and helps determine their maximum adverse deviation for a particular confidence level and time horizon (of 3, 6 or 12 months), depending on market liquidity in each currency.

The Executive Committee authorizes the system of limits and alerts for these risk measurements, which include a limit on the economic capital (an unexpected loss arising from the currency risk of investments financed in foreign currency).

In order to try to mitigate model’s limitations, the risk measurements are complemented with analyses of scenarios, stress testing and back-testing, thus giving a more complete overview of the Group’s exposure to structural exchange-rate risk.

In 2013, in a context characterized by market volatility and uncertainty, a policy of prudence has been maintained, which has moderated the risk assumed despite the growing contribution of the “non-euro” area to the Group’s earnings and equity. The risk mitigation level of the carrying value of the BBVA Group’s holdings in foreign currency has remained at 36% on average. The estimated exposure coverage of the six months ended June 30, 2013 earnings in foreign currency has been 42%.

In 2013, the average asset exposure sensitivity to a 1% depreciation in exchange rates stood at 297 million, with 34% in the Mexican peso, 24% in South American currencies, 24% in Asian and Turkish currencies, and 15% in the US dollar.

Structural equity risk

The BBVA Group’s exposure to structural equity risk is basically derived from investments in industrial and financial entities with medium- and long-term investment horizons. This exposure is mitigated through net short positions held in derivatives of their underlying assets, used to limit portfolio sensitivity to potential falls in prices.

The aggregate sensitivity of the BBVA Group’s consolidated equity to a 1% fall in the price of shares stood at 33 million as of June 30, 2013. The income before taxes sensitivity has been estimated at 1,4 million. These figures are estimated taking into account the exposure in shares valued at market prices or, if not applicable, at fair value (except for the positions in the Treasury Area portfolios) and the net delta-equivalent positions in options on their underlying assets.

The corporate GRM Area is responsible for measuring and effectively monitoring structural risk in the equity portfolio. To do so, it estimates the sensitivity figures and the capital necessary to cover possible unexpected losses due to the variations in the value of the entities making up the Group’s equity portfolio, at a confidence level that corresponds to the institution’s target rating, and taking into account the liquidity of the positions and the statistical performance of the assets under consideration. These figures are supplemented by periodic stress tests, back-testing and scenario analyses.

 

7.3

Liquidity risk

The aim of liquidity risk management, tracking and control is to ensure, in the short term, that the payment commitments of the BBVA Group entities can be duly met without having to resort to borrowing funds under burdensome terms, or damaging the image and reputation of the entities. In the medium term the aim is to ensure that the Group’s financing structure is ideal and that it is moving in the right direction with respect to the economic situation, the markets and regulatory changes.

Management of liquidity and structural finance within the BBVA Group is based on the principle of 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.

A core principle of the BBVA Group’s liquidity management is the financial independence of the banking subsidiaries. This aims to ensure that the cost of liquidity is correctly reflected in price formation. Accordingly, the Group maintains a liquidity pool at an individual entity level, both in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. and in the banking subsidiaries, including BBVA Compass, BBVA Bancomer and the 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. accounted for 0.95% of the total consolidated assets and 0.57% of the total consolidated liabilities, as of June 30, 2013.

The management and monitoring of liquidity risk is carried out comprehensively in each of the BBVA Group’s business units using a double (short- and long-term) approach. The short-term liquidity approach has a time horizon of up to 365 days. It is focused on the management of payments and collections from the Treasury and market activity, and includes operations specific to the area and each bank’s possible liquidity requirements. The medium-term approach is focused on financial management of the whole consolidated balance sheet, with a time horizon of one year or more.

The ALCO within each business unit is responsible for the comprehensive management of liquidity. The Balance Sheet Management Unit, as part of the Financial Division, analyzes the implications of the Bank’s various projects in terms of finance and liquidity and their compatibility with the target financing structure and the situation of the financial markets. The Balance Sheet Management Unit executes the resolutions agreed by ALCO in accordance with the agreed budgets and manages liquidity risk using a broad scheme of limits, sub-limits and alerts approved by the Executive Committee. The Risk Area, Global Risk Management (GRM), measures and controls these limits independently and provides the managers with support tools and metrics needed for decision-making.

Each of the local risk areas, which are independent from the local managers, complies with the corporate principles of liquidity risk control established by GRM, the Global Unit in charge of Structural Risks for the entire BBVA Group.

 

F-72


Table of Contents

At the level of each BBVA Group entity, the managing areas request and propose a scheme of quantitative and qualitative limits and alerts related to short- and medium-term liquidity risks. Once agreed with GRM, controls and limits are proposed to the Bank’s Board of Directors (through its delegate bodies) for approval at least once a year. The proposals submitted by GRM are adapted to the situation of the markets according to the risk appetite level aimed for by the Group.

The development and updating of the Corporate Liquidity and Finance Policy has contributed to strict adjustment of liquidity risk management in terms of limits and alerts, as well as in procedures. In accordance with the Corporate Policy, GRM carries out regular measurements of risk incurred and monitors the consumption of limits. It develops management tools and adapts valuation models, carries out regular stress tests and reports on the liquidity risk levels to ALCO and the Group’s Management Committee on a monthly basis. Its reports to the management areas and Management Committee are more frequent.

Under the current Contingency Plan, the frequency of communication and the nature of the information provided are decided by the Liquidity Committee at the proposal of the Technical Liquidity Group (TLG). In the event of an alert or possible crisis, the TLG carries out an initial analysis of the liquidity situation (short- or long-term) of the entity affected.

The TLG is made up of technical staff from the Short-Term Cash Desk and the Balance Sheet Management and Structural Risk areas. If the alert signals established make clear that a situation of tension has arisen, the TLG informs the Liquidity Committee (made up of managers of the corresponding areas). The Liquidity Committee is responsible for calling the Financing Committee, if appropriate, which is made up of the BBVA’s President and COO and the managers from the Financial Area, the Risk Area, Global Business and the operating segment of the country affected.

One of the most significant aspects that have affected the BBVA Group in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and in previous years is the continuation of the sovereign debt crisis, during which the role played by official bodies in the euro zone and the ECB have been key in ensuring liquidity in the European banking system.

The Group’s principal source of funds is the customer deposit base, which consists primarily of demand, savings and time deposit accounts. In addition to relying on the customer deposits, the Group also accesses the interbank market (overnight and time deposits) and domestic and international capital markets for the additional liquidity requirements. To access the capital markets, the Group has in place a series of domestic and international programs for the issuance of commercial paper and medium- and long-term debt. The Group also generally maintains a diversified liquidity pool of liquid assets and securitized assets at an individual entity level. Another source of liquidity is the generation of cash flow from operations. Finally, the Group supplements funding requirements with loans from the Bank of Spain and the European Central Bank (ECB) or the respective central banks of the countries where the Group’s subsidiaries are located.

Given this situation, the regulators have established new requirements with the aim of strengthening the balance sheets of banks and making them more resistant to potential short-term liquidity shocks. The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is the metric proposed by the Committee on Banking Supervision of the Bank for International Settlements in Basel to achieve this objective. It aims to ensure that financial institutions have a sufficient stock of liquid assets to allow them to survive a 30-day liquidity stress scenario. Some aspects of the document published by the Committee on Banking Supervision in December 2010 were updated and made more flexible in January 2013. Among them, the ratio will be incorporated as a regulatory requirement on January 1, 2015 associated with a requirement for 60% compliance, which must reach 100% by January 2019. The frequency for reporting information to the supervisory bodies has been increased from quarterly to monthly beginning January 2013.

In addition, the calibration period for the long-term funding ratio (more than twelve months) known as “Net Stable Funding Ratio” (NSFR) has been maintained in order to increase the weight of medium- and long-term funding on the banks’ balance sheets, the regulators have defined a new long-term funding ratio (over 12 months) called the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). It will be under review until mid-2016 and become a regulatory requirement starting on January 1, 2018.

The BBVA Group has continued developing a plan to adapt to the regulatory ratios so as to allow it to adopt best practices and the most effective and strict criteria for their implementation sufficiently in advance

Fair value of financial instruments

For a definition of the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 13 refer to the glossary. The most objective and common reference for the fair value of a financial asset or liability is the price that would be paid for it on an organized, transparent and deep market (“quoted price” or “market price”)

If there is no market price for a given financial asset or liability, its fair value is estimated on the basis of the price established in recent transactions involving similar instruments or, in the absence thereof, by using mathematical measurement models that are sufficiently tried and trusted by the international financial community. The estimates used in such models take into consideration the specific features of the asset or liability to be measured and, in particular, the various types of risk associated with the asset or liability. However, the limitations inherent in the measurement models and possible inaccuracies in the assumptions and parameters required by these models may mean that the estimated fair value of an asset or liability does not exactly match the price for which the asset or liability could be exchanged or settled on the date of its measurement.

The fair value of the financial derivatives included in the held-for-trading portfolios is based on daily quoted price if there is an active market for these financial derivatives. If for any reason their quoted price is not available on a given date, these financial derivatives are measured using methods similar to those used in over-the-counter (OTC) markets.

The fair value of OTC derivatives (“present value” or “theoretical price”) is equal to the sum of future cash flows arising from the instrument, discounted at the measurement date; these derivatives are valued using methods recognized by international financial markets: the “net present value” (NPV) method, option price calculation models, etc.

In the case of financial instruments whose carrying amount is not the same as their fair value, the fair value has been calculated as follows:

 

 

The fair value of “Cash and balances with central banks” has been considered equivalent to its carrying amount, because they are mainly short-term balances.

 

 

The fair value of “Held-to-maturity investments” is equivalent to their quoted price in active markets.

 

 

The fair values of “Loans and receivables” and “Financial liabilities at amortized cost” have been estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using the market interest rates prevailing at each year-end with similar measurement techniques and assumptions than those used for level 3.

 

 

The “Fair value changes of the hedged items in portfolio hedges of interest-rate risk” item in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets registers the difference between the carrying amounts of the hedged deposits lent, included under “Loans and Receivables”, and the fair value calculated using internal models and observable variables of market data (see Note 15).

For financial instruments whose carrying amount is equivalent to their fair value, the measurement processes used are set forth below:

 

 

Level 1: Measurement using market observable quoted prices for the financial instrument in question, secured from independent sources and referred to active markets. This level includes listed debt securities, listed equity instruments, some derivatives and mutual funds.

 

 

Level 2: Measurement that applies techniques using inputs drawn from observable market data.

 

 

Level 3: Measurement using techniques where some of the inputs are not taken from market observable data. As of June 30, 2013, the affected instruments accounted for approximately 0.21% of financial assets and 0.01% of the Group’s financial liabilities. Model selection and validation is undertaken by control areas outside the market units.

¡  Present-value method

¡  “Time default” model for financial instruments in the collateralized debt obligations (CDO) family.

  

Determining the current value of financial instruments as the current value of future cash flows (discounted at market interest rates), taking into account:

  estimate of prepayment rates;

  issuer credit risk; and

  current market interest rates.

 

In the case of measurement of asset-backed securities (ABS), the future prepayments are calculated according to conditional prepayment rates supplied by the issuers themselves.

 

The “time-to-default” model is used to measure the probability of default. One of the main variables used is the correlation of defaults extrapolated from several index tranches (ITRA00 and CDX) with the underlying portfolio of our CDOs.

  (1)

Credit spread: The spread between the interest rate of a risk-free asset (e.g. Treasury securities) and the interest rate of any other security that is identical in every respect except for asset quality. Spreads are considered as Level 3 inputs when referring to illiquid securities, based on spreads of similar issuers.

  (2)

Correlation decay: This is the factor that allows the Group to calculate changes in correlation between the different pairs of forward rates.

  (3)

Vol-of-Vol: Volatility of implied volatility. This is a statistical measure of the changes of the spot volatility.

  (4)

Reversion Factor: The speed with which volatility reverts to its natural value.

  (5)

Volatility - Spot Correlation: A statistical measure of the linear relationship (correlation) between the spot price of a security and its volatility.

Financial instruments at cost

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, equity instruments, derivatives with these equity instruments as underlying assets, and certain discretionary profit-sharing arrangements in some entities, were recognized at cost in the Group’s consolidated balance sheets because their fair value could not be reliably determined, as they are not traded in organized markets and thus their unobservable inputs are significant. On the above dates, the balance of these financial instruments recognized in the portfolio of available-for-sale financial assets amounted to 553 million and 510 million, respectively.

Trading derivatives

The trading derivatives portfolio arises from the Group’s need to manage the risks it is exposed to in the normal course of business and also to market certain products amongst the Group’s customers. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, trading derivatives were principally contracted in over-the-counter (OTC) markets, with counterparties which are mainly foreign credit institutions, and related to foreign-exchange, interest-rate and equity risk.

The losses recognized under the heading “Valuation adjustments – Available-for-sale financial assets” in the consolidated balance sheet for the first half of 2013 correspond mainly to Spanish government debt securities and equity instruments from Spanish listed entities.

 

 

As of June 30, 2013, 47.3% of the unrealized losses recognized under the heading “Valuation adjustments – Available-for-sale financial assets” and originating in debt securities were generated over more than twelve months. However, no impairment has been considered, as following an analysis of these unrealized losses it can be concluded that they were temporary due to the following reasons: the interest payment dates of all the fixed-income securities have been satisfied; and because there is no evidence that the issuer will not continue to meet its payment obligations, nor that future payments of both principal and interest will not be sufficient to recover the cost of the debt securities.

 

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Group has analyzed the unrealized losses recognized under the heading “Valuation adjustments – Available-for-sale financial assets” resulting from equity instruments generated over a period of more than 12 months and with a fall of more 20% in their price, as a first approximation to the existence of possible impairment. As of June 30, 2013, the unrealized losses recognized under the heading “Valuation adjustments – Available-for-sale financial assets” resulting from equity instruments generated over a period of more than 18 months or with a fall of more 40% in their price are not significant.

The losses recognized under the heading “Impairment losses on financial assets (net) – Available-for-sale financial assets” in the accompanying consolidated income statement amounted to 35 million and 26 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (see Note 49).

Fair value hedging:

 

 

Available-for-sale fixed-interest debt securities: This risk is hedged using interest rate derivatives (fixed-variable swaps).

 

 

Long-term fixed-interest debt securities issued by the Group: This risk is hedged using interest rate derivatives (fixed-variable swaps).

 

 

Available-for-sale equity instruments: This risk is hedged using equity swaps.

 

 

Fixed-interest loans: This risk is hedged using interest rate derivatives (fixed-variable swaps).

 

 

Fixed-interest deposit portfolio hedges: This risk is hedged using fixed-variable swaps and interest-rate options. The valuation of the deposit hedges corresponding to interest-rate risk is recognized under the heading “Fair value changes of the hedged items in portfolio hedges of interest-rate risk.”

 

 

Cash-flow hedges: Most of the hedged items are floating interest-rate loans. This risk is hedged using foreign-exchange and interest-rate swaps.

 

 

Net foreign-currency investment hedges: The risks hedged are foreign-currency investments in the Group’s subsidiaries based abroad. This risk is hedged mainly with foreign-exchange options and forward currency purchases.

Insurance and reinsurance contracts

The Group has insurance subsidiaries mainly in Spain and Latin America (mostly in Mexico). The main product offered by the insurance subsidiaries is life insurance to cover the risk of death (risk insurance) and life-savings insurance. Within life and accident insurance, a distinction is made between freely sold products and those offered to customers who have taken mortgage or consumer loans, which cover the principal of those loans in the event of the customer’s death.

There are two types of saving products: individual insurance, which seeks to provide the customer with savings for retirement or other events, and group insurance, which is taken out by entities to cover their commitments to employees.

The most significant provisions registered by consolidated insurance entities with respect to insurance policies issued by them are set out by their nature in Note 24.

The modeling methods and techniques used to calculate the mathematical reserves for the insurance products are actuarial and financial methods and modeling techniques approved by the country’s regulator or supervisor. The most important insurance entities are located in Spain and Mexico (which together account for approximately 94% of the insurance activity), where the modeling methods and techniques are reviewed by the insurance authorities in Spain (General Directorate of Insurance) and Mexico (National Insurance and Bonding Commission), respectively. The modeling methods and techniques used to calculate the mathematical reserves for the insurance products are based on IFRS and primarily involve the valuation of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the technical interest rate for each policy. To ensure this technical interest rate, asset-liability management is carried out, acquiring a portfolio of securities that generate the cash flows needed to cover the payment commitments assumed with the customers.

Impairment tests

As described in Note 2.2.8, the cash-generating units (CGU)to which goodwill has been allocated are periodically tested for impairment by including the allocated goodwill in their carrying amount. This analysis is performed at least annually and whenever there is any indication of impairment.

As of June 30, 2013, no indicators of impairment have been identified in any of the main cash-generating units.

As of June 30, 2012, an impairment loss of 34 million in the European retail business was recognized. This amount was recognized under the heading “Impairment losses on other assets (net) – Goodwill and other intangible assets” in the consolidated income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2012 (see Note 50).

Tax assets and liabilities

 

21.1

Consolidated tax group

Pursuant to current legislation, the BBVA Consolidated Tax Group includes the Bank (as the parent company) and its Spanish subsidiaries that meet the requirements provided for under Spanish legislation regulating the taxation regime for the consolidated profit of corporate groups.

The Group’s non-Spanish other banks and subsidiaries file tax returns in accordance with the tax legislation in force in each country.

 

21.2

Years open for review by the tax authorities

The years open to review in the BBVA Consolidated Tax Group as of June 30, 2013 are 2007 and forward for the main taxes applicable.

The rest of the Spanish consolidated entities in general have the last four years open for inspection by the tax authorities for the main taxes applicable, except for those in which there has been an interruption of the limitation period due to the start of an inspection.

In 2011, as a result of action by the tax authorities, tax inspections proceedings were instituted for the years since (and including) 2006, some of which were contested. After considering the temporary nature of some of the items assessed in the proceedings, provisions were set aside for the liabilities, if any, that might arise from these assessments according to best estimates.

In view of the varying interpretations that can be made of some applicable tax legislation, the outcome of the tax inspections of the open years that could be conducted by the tax authorities in the future could give rise to contingent tax liabilities which cannot be objectively quantified at the present time. However, the Banks’ Board of Directors and its tax advisers consider that the possibility of these contingent liabilities becoming actual liabilities is remote and, in any case, the tax charge which might arise therefore would not materially affect the Group’s accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

21.3

Reconciliation

The reconciliation of the Group’s corporate tax expense resulting from the application of the standard tax rate and the expense registered by this tax in the accompanying consolidated income statements is as follows:

Of the above, the issuances of BBVA International, Ltd., BBVA Capital Finance, S.A.U., BBVA International Preferred, S.A.U., BBVA Subordinated Capital, S.A.U. and BBVA Global Finance, Ltd. are jointly, severally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Bank.

Subordinated debt

These issuances are non-convertible subordinated debt and accordingly, for debt seniority purposes, they rank behind ordinary debt, but ahead of the Bank’s shareholders, without prejudice to any different seniority that may exist between the different types of subordinated debt instruments according to the terms and conditions of each issue. The breakdown of this heading in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, disregarding valuation adjustments, by currency of issuance and interest rate is shown in Appendix VI. The variations in the balance are mainly the result of the following transactions:

 

 

Conversion of subordinated bond issues

At its meeting on November 22, 2011, in virtue of the authorization conferred under Point Six of the Agenda of the Bank’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 14, 2008, the Board of Directors of BBVA agreed to issue convertible bonds in December 2011 (the “Issue” or “Convertible Bonds-December 2011” or the “Bonds”) for a maximum amount of 3,475 million, excluding a preemptive subscription right.

This issue was aimed exclusively at holders of preferred securities issued by BBVA Capital Finance, S.A. Unipersonal (series A, B, C and D) or BBVA International Limited (series F), all guaranteed by BBVA. Thus, those who accepted the purchase offer made by BBVA made an unconditional and irrevocable undertaking to subscribe a nominal amount of Convertible Bonds-December 2011 equivalent to 100% of the total nominal or cash amount for the preferred securities they owned and that would be acquired by BBVA.

On December 30, 2011, after the period envisaged in this respect, orders were received for the subscription of 34,300,002 Convertible Bonds with a nominal value of 100 each, giving a total of 3,430 million, compared with the initially planned 3,475 million. This means that holders of 98.71% of the preferred securities to be repurchased accepted the repurchase offer made by BBVA. The Convertible Bonds were recognized as financial liabilities since the number of Bank shares to be delivered can vary.

The terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds established a voluntary conversion at the option of the holders on March 30, 2012. Following this date, orders were received for the voluntary conversion of a total of 955 million, corresponding to 9,547,559 Convertible Bonds, or 27.84% of the original amount of the issue of Convertible Bonds-December 2011. To meet the bond conversion, 157,875,375 new ordinary BBVA shares were issued at a par value of 0.49 each (see Note 27).

Also, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds, on June 30, 2012 a mandatory conversion of the 50% of the nominal value of the issue took place through the reduction of the nominal value of each and every one of the Convertible Bonds outstanding on that date, whose value then fell from a nominal 100 to 50. A total of 238,682,213 new ordinary BBVA shares were issued at a par value of 0.49 each to satisfy this conversion (see Note 27).

As of June 30 and December 31, 2012, the nominal amount of outstanding convertible bonds was 1,238 million.

Lastly, as of June 30, 2013, maturity date of the issue, the convertible bonds outstanding on that date were subject to mandatory conversion. An increase in the Bank’s common stock was carried out to pay for this conversion by the issue and distribution of 192,083,232 ordinary shares at a par value of 0,49 each, amounting to a total of 94,120,783,68, with the share premium being 1,143,279,396.8640.

Ongoing legal proceedings and litigation

The Group is party to certain legal actions in a number of jurisdictions, including, among others, Spain, Mexico and the United States, arising in the ordinary course of business. BBVA considers that none of such actions is material, individually or in the aggregate, and none of such actions is expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity, either individually or in the aggregate. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made in respect of the actions arising in the ordinary course of business. BBVA has not disclosed to the markets any contingent liability that could arise from such actions as it does not consider them material.

 

26.

Pensions and other post-employment commitments

As stated in Note 2.2.12, the Group has both defined-benefit and defined-contribution post-employment commitments with employees. The defined-benefit post-employment commitments with BBVA Group employees are mainly executed and closed to new hires.

 

26.1

Defined-contribution commitments

The defined-contribution commitments are settled through contributions made by the Group annually on behalf of its beneficiaries, who are, almost exclusively, active employees in the Group. These contributions are accrued and charged to the consolidated income statement in the corresponding financial year (see Note 2.2.12). No liability is therefore recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for this purpose.

The amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated income statements for contributions to these plans in the six months ended June 30, 2013, and 2012 are 49 million and 46 million, respectively (see Note 46.1).

 

26.2

Defined-benefit plans and other long-term commitments

Pension commitments in defined-benefit plans correspond mainly to employees who have retired or taken early retirement from the Group and to certain groups of employees still active in the Group in the case of pension benefits, and to most active employees in the case of permanent disability and death benefits. The most significant actuarial assumptions made do not differ significantly from those used as of December 31, 2012.

A breakdown of the Group’s total amounts for pension commitments in defined-benefit plans and other post-employment commitments (such as early retirement and welfare benefits) for the last for years and as of June 30, 2013 can be found in the table below. The commitments are recognized under the heading “Provisions – Provisions for pensions and similar obligations” of the corresponding accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 25).

Commitments in Spain

Changes in the main assumptions can affect the calculation of the commitments. Should the discount interest rate have increased or decreased by 50 basis points, an impact on equity for the commitments in Spain would have been registered for approximately 125 million and 134 million net of tax, recorded in “Valuation adjustments”.

Pension commitments

To fund some pension commitments in Spain, insurance contracts have been purchased from insurance entities not related to the Group. These commitments are funded by plan assets and therefore are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for the net amount of the commitment less plan assets. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the plan assets related to the aforementioned insurance contracts (for 371 and 389 million, respectively) equaled the amount of the commitments covered; therefore, no amount for this item has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The remainder of commitments for pensions in Spain include defined-benefit commitments for which insurance has been contracted with BBVA Seguros, S.A. de Seguros y Reaseguros, which is 99.95% owned by the Group. As it is an entity consolidated within the BBVA Group, the assets in which the insurance company has invested the amount of the policies cannot be considered plan assets under IAS 19 and are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets under different headings of “assets”, depending on the classification of their corresponding financial instruments. The commitments are recognized under the heading “Provisions – Provisions for pensions and similar obligations” of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 25).

Early retirement

In the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Spanish entities in the Group offered certain employees the option of taking early retirement before the age stipulated in the collective labor agreement in force. This offer was accepted by 399 employees (180 in the six months ended June 30, 2012).

The early retirement commitments in Spain as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are recognized under the heading “Provisions – Provisions for pensions and similar obligations” (see Note 25) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amount to 2,658 million and 2,758 million, respectively.

The cost of early retirement for the year is recognized under the heading “Provisions expense (net) – Provisions for pensions and similar obligations” in the accompanying consolidated income statements (see Note 48).

The plan assets related to these commitments are to be used directly to settle the vested obligations and meet the following conditions: they are not owned by the Group entities, they are available only to pay post-employment benefits, and they cannot be returned to the Group entities.

In order to manage the assets related to defined benefit plans, the companies of the BBVA Group have set the investment policies designed according to the criteria of prudence and aimed to minimize the financial risks in plan assets.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the plan assets covering these obligations to employees were comprised almost entirely of fixed-income securities. In Mexico, 95% is invested in Government bonds. In the United States, 70% is invested in US Treasury and other US Government agencies.

The vested obligations related to these commitments are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets net of the plan assets under the heading “Provisions - Provisions for pensions and similar obligations” (see Note 25).

Legal reserve

Under the amended Corporations Act, 10% of any profit made each year must be transferred to the legal reserve. These provisions must be made until the legal reserve reaches 20% of the share capital.

The legal reserve can be used to increase the common stock provided that the remaining reserve balance does not fall below 10% of the increased capital. While it does not exceed 20% of the common stock, it can only be allocated to offset losses exclusively in the case that there are not sufficient reserves available.

The restricted reserve for retired capital originated in the reduction of the nominal par value of the BBVA shares made in April 2000.

The most significant heading corresponds to restricted reserves related to the amount of shares issued by the Bank in its possession at each date, as well as the amount of customer loans outstanding at those dates that were granted for the purchase of, or are secured by, the Bank’s shares.

Finally, pursuant to Law 46/1998 on the Introduction of the Euro, a restricted reserve is recognized as a result of the rounding effect of the redenomination of the Bank’s common stock in euros.

Furthermore, in the individual financial statements for subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, restricted reserves for a total of 3,489 million and 3,149 million, respectively, are taken into consideration.

Other equity instruments and treasury stock

 

30.1

Other equity instruments

On the first half of 2013, BBVA carried out an issue of perpetual securities eventually convertible (Contingent Convertible) into ordinary shares of BBVA, without pre-emption rights, for a total amount of 1.5 billion US dollars (1,147 million as of June 30, 2013). The issue allowed for the distribution of discretionary coupons. The issuance was targeted only towards qualified and sophisticated foreign investors and in any case would not be made or subscribed in Spain or among Spanish-resident investors. These securities are listed in the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.

This instrument has been booked as a “compound financial instrument” as per IAS32 and includes a liability component equal to the present value of the nominal amount of the convertible instrument, This value is not material compared to the total fair value of the instrument since the likelihood of the conditions that trigger mandatory conversion is considered very improbable in the short or mid term. The remaining part of the instrument is recognized within equity in “Other equity instruments – compound financial instruments” in the June 30, 2013 Balance Sheet.

Capital base and capital management

Capital base

Bank of Spain Circular 3/2008, of May 22, 2008, and its subsequent amendments on the calculation and control of minimum capital base requirements (“Circular 3/2008”), regulate the minimum capital base requirements for Spanish credit institutions –both as individual entities and as consolidated groups– and how to calculate them, 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 Circular 3/2008 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 Circular and the internal Corporate Governance obligations.

Circular 3/2008 implements Spanish regulations on capital base and consolidated supervision of financial institutions, as well as adapting Spanish law to the relevant European Union Capital Requirements Directives (CRD), in compliance with the accords by the Committee on Banking Supervision of the Bank for International Settlements in Basel.

Within the framework of recommendations, in December 2010 the Committee on Banking Supervision published “Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and banking systems”, to assist the financial sector when coping with the effects of financial or economic crises. The European Union worked from this point forward to incorporate the Basel recommendations to a new capital regulation, and after two

 

F-130


Table of Contents

years of negotiations, “CRD4” was published in the European Union Official Bulletin on June 27, 2013, This regulation replaces 2006/48 and 2006/49 (CRD2 and CRD3) Capital and CRR. This directive is expected to be effective January 1, 2014, with an implementation period of six months, after which, national regulations will be repealed.

The BBVA Group is ready to comply with the significant modifications in the capital regulatory framework for financial entities (BIS III according to CRD4), such as those envisioned to affect insurance entities (“Solvency II”). Therefore, the BBVA Group complies without any difficulties with the new and more demanding requirements, showing greater solvency and stability.

As of June 30, 2013, nevertheless, Circular 3/2008 was still the current regulation in place and the Bank’s capital exceeded by more than 48% the minimum capital base level required by said regulation.

The Group’s bank capital in accordance with the aforementioned Circular 3/2008, considering entities scope required by said regulation, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is shown below:

Minimum equity required         26,488         26,353   

(*) Provisional data.

(**) Mainly insurance companies in the Group.

  

  

The changes in the first six months of 2013 in the amounts of basic capital shown in the above table are basically due to the earnings for the period, partially offset by the increase in activity by Non-Spanish subsidiaries and the negative impact of the exchange differences. The reduction in additional capital is mainly due to the decrease in weighting of subordinated debentures, exchange rate effect and decrease in maturity periods; and increase in value of deducted investments,

In addition to that established in Circular 3/2008, Spanish financial groups and entities must comply with the capital requirements set forth by Royal Decree-Law 2/2011 of August 31 to reinforce the Spanish financial system. This standard was issued for the purpose of reinforcing the solvency of the Spanish financial entities. It thus established a new minimum requirement in terms of core capital on risk-weighted assets which is more restrictive than the one set out in the aforementioned Circular, and that must be greater than 9%. As of June 30, 2013, the BBVA Group’s ratio exceeded the corresponding minimum requirement and stood at 10.3% (provisional figure).

As of June 30, 2013 the BBVA Group also complied with the recommendations made by the EBA about minimum capital levels calculated based on June 2012 requirements.

Capital management

Capital management in the BBVA Group has a twofold aim:

 

 

Maintain a level of capitalization according to the business objectives in all countries in which it operates and, simultaneously,

 

 

Maximize the return on shareholders’ funds through the efficient allocation of capital to the different units, a good management of the balance sheet and appropriate use of the various instruments forming the basis of the Group’s equity: shares, preferred securities and subordinate debt.

This capital management is carried out in accordance with the criteria of the Bank of Spain Circular 3/2008 and subsequent amendments both in terms of determining the capital base and the solvency ratios. Prudential and minimum capital requirements also have to be met for the subsidiaries subject to prudential supervision in other countries.

The current regulation allows each entity to apply its own internal ratings-based (IRB) approach to risk assessment and capital management, subject to Bank of Spain approval. The BBVA Group carries out an integrated management of these risks in accordance with its internal policies (see Note 7) and its internal capital estimation model has received the Bank of Spain’s approval for certain portfolios.

Capital is allocated to each operating segment of the BBVA Group (see Note 6) according to economic risk capital (ERC) criteria, which are based on the concept of unexpected loss with a specific confidence level, as a function of a solvency target determined by the Group, at two levels:

 

 

Core capital, which determines the allocated capital and is used as a reference to calculate the return on equity (ROE) generated by each business; and

 

 

Total capital, which determines the additional allocation in terms of subordinate debt and preferred securities.

Due to its sensitivity to risk, ERC is an element linked to management policies of the BBVA Group businesses themselves. It standardizes capital allocation among them in accordance with the risks incurred and makes it easier to compare their profitability. The calculation of ERC combines credit risk, market risk, structural risk associated with the balance sheet, equity positions, operational risk, fixed assets risks and technical risks in the case of insurance companies. Internal models were used that have been defined following the guidelines and requirements established under the Basel II Capital Accord, with economic criteria prevailing over regulatory ones.

Since a significant portion of the amounts above will expire without any payment obligation materializing for the consolidated entities, the aggregate balance of these commitments cannot be considered as an actual future requirement for financing or liquidity to be provided by the BBVA Group to third parties.

In six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year 2012 no issuance of debt securities carried out by associate entities of the BBVA Group, joint venture entities (accounted for using the equity method) or non-Group entities have been guaranteed.

Assets assigned to other own and third-party obligations

In addition to those assets mentioned in other Notes in these annual financial statements (see Notes 13 and 26) as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the assets of consolidated entities that guaranteed their own obligations amounted to 111,851 million and 125,174 million, respectively. These amounts mainly correspond to loans linked to the issue of long-term covered bonds (see Note 23.3) which, pursuant to the Mortgage Market Act, are admitted as collateral for the issue of covered bonds and to assets allocated as collateral for certain lines of short-term finance assigned to the BBVA Group by central banks.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no other BBVA Group assets linked to any third-party obligations.

Other contingent assets and liabilities

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no contingent assets or liabilities of significant amount other than those mentioned in these financial statements.

46.1.1

Share-based employee remuneration

The amounts registered under the heading “Personnel expenses - Other personnel expenses” in the consolidated income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, corresponding to the plans for remuneration based on equity instruments in force in each year, amounted to 31 million and 30 million, respectively. These amounts have been registered with a balancing entry under the heading “Stockholders’ funds – Other equity instruments” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, net of tax effect.

The characteristics of the Group’s plans for remuneration based on equity instruments are described below.

Variable Share-based Remuneration System

BBVA’s AGM held on March 11, 2011 approved a variable share-based remuneration system for the BBVA management team, including the executive directors and members of the Management Committee (the “Variable Share-Based Remuneration System” or the “System”). Its conditions are approved each year and for 2013 they were approved by BBVA’s AGM held on March 15, 2013.

 

F-143


Table of Contents

This system is based on a specific incentive for members of the Executive Team (the “Incentive”). It consists of an annual allocation to each beneficiary of a number of units that serve as the basis for determining the number of shares that may correspond to them upon settlement of the Incentive, based on the level of compliance with indicators established each year by the AGM and taking into account the total shareholder return (TSR), the Group’s recurring Economic Profit (EP) and the Group’s net adjusted attributable profit.

This Incentive, together with the ordinary variable remuneration in cash that corresponds to each executive, constitutes their annual variable remuneration (the “Annual Variable Remuneration”).

At the close of each year, the number of units allocated is divided into three parts, each associated to one of the indicators according to the weights determined for them at the time. Each part is then multiplied by a coefficient ranging from 0 to 2, based on a scale defined each year for each of the indicators.

The resulting BBVA shares are subject to the following retention criteria:

 

-

40 percent of the BBVA shares received shall be freely transferable by the beneficiaries at the time of their delivery;

 

-

30 percent of the BBVA shares are transferable one year after the settlement date of the incentive; and

 

-

The remaining 30 percent are transferable starting two years after the settlement date of the incentive.

In addition to the above, the Bank has a specific annual variable remuneration settlement and payment system for those Bank employees and executive managers (including executive board members and members of the Management Committee) whose professional activities may significantly influence the Bank’s risk profile or who perform control functions.

The specific settlement and payment rules for the Annual Variable Remuneration of executive board members and members of the Management Committee are described in Note 56. The following rules (“Special Settlement and Payment System”) are applied to the rest of the group mentioned above (the “Identified Staff”):

 

-

At least 50% of the total Annual Variable Remuneration of the executive team members of the Identified Staff shall be paid in BBVA shares.

 

-

The Identified Staff who are not members of the executive team shall receive 50% of their ordinary variable remuneration in BBVA shares.

 

-

Payment of 40% of the annual variable remuneration, in both cash and shares, shall be deferred, with the deferred amount being paid over a period of three years.

 

-

All shares awarded under the aforementioned rules shall not be available for one year from their award. This restriction shall be applied on the net value of the shares, after deducting the part necessary for the beneficiaries to meet their tax liabilities on the shares received. Hedging using shares that have been delivered but are unavailable and shares pending receipt shall not be permitted.

 

-

In addition, under certain circumstances payment of the Annual Variable Remuneration that is deferred and pending payment may be limited or even stopped, and it has been decided to update these deferred amounts.

Once the incentive plan expires on December 31, 2012, and in order to calculate the number of shares, a multiplied of 0.4475 was applied to the units assigned to each beneficiary, subject to the settlement and payment process described above. The total number of shares was therefore 3,018,133.

Multi-year Variable Remuneration Plan 2010/2011

The duration of the Multi-Year Variable Share-Based Remuneration Program for 2010-2011, approved by the AGM on March 12, 2010, was concluded on December 31, 2011. At this point, under the terms established in the Program itself and approved by the AGM, the conditions for its settlement were determined by comparing BBVA’s TSR with that of 18 of its international peers during the period that the Program was in operation. BBVA was in 4th place in the comparative table, giving a multiplier ratio of 2 to be applied to the units allocated to each beneficiary.

 

F-144


Table of Contents

This Program incorporated some restrictions to granting shares to the beneficiaries after their settlement. These shares are available as follows:

 

-

40 percent of the shares received shall be freely transferable by the beneficiaries at the time of their delivery;

 

-

30 percent of the shares are transferable one year after the settlement date of the Program; and

 

-

The remaining 30 percent are transferable starting two years after the settlement date of the Program.

After this Program had been established by the AGM, Royal Decree 771/2011 was published, requiring the application of certain deferment, unavailability and limitation rules to the remuneration granted and still unpaid prior to its coming into force, and referring to services rendered since 2010.

The law meant that the requirements established under the aforementioned Royal Decree 771/2011 must be applied to the 2010-2011 Program. Therefore, the Bank’s AGM, held on March 16, 2012, approved the modification of the settlement and payment system of the 2010-2011 Program to adapt it to the terms of Royal Decree 771/2011.

These specific rules, which are described in the above section (Special Settlement and Payment System), will only be applied to those executives, including executive directors and members of the Management Committee, who are beneficiaries of this Program and whose professional activity may significantly influence the entity’s risk profile. In this case, settlement and payment of the BBVA shares corresponding to the Program will be made under the scheme defined for that effect.

The corresponding BBVA shares were delivered in the first quarter of 2012 under the stipulated conditions. Delivery has been deferred to 2013, 2014 and 2015 for the shares corresponding to the members of the Identified Staff who were beneficiaries as of the settlement date of the Program, since they were affected by the Special Settlement and Payment System (see Note 56).

In the first semester of 2013, the beneficiaries mentioned above received 351,905 shares that were previously deferred and 146,744 as part of the settlement of such shares.

BBVA Compass Long-Term Incentive Plan

2010-2012 Plan: Once the 2010-2012 Plan expired on December 31, 2012 BBVA Compass settled the plan applying a multiplier of 0.4 to the “restricted shares”.

During the first semester of 2013 BBVA Compass delivered 106,268 shares. For those BBVA Compass employees whose professional duties have material impact in the risk profile of the bank, the delivery of the shares will be deferred for a period of three years.

Consolidated statements of cash flows

Cash flows from operating activities decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2013 by 13,970 million (compared with an increase of 5,683 million in the same period in 2012). The most significant reasons for the change occurred under the headings “Financial liabilities at amortized cost” and “Financial instruments held for trading”.

The most significant variances in cash flows from investment activities between January 1, 2013 and June 30, 2013 corresponded to “Non-current assets held for sale” and “Held-to-maturity investments”, due to portfolio amortization (Note 14).

Cash flows from financing activities increased in the first six months of 2013 by 138 million (compared to 2,646 million decrease in the same period of 2012), with the most significant changes corresponding to the acquisition and amortization of own equity instruments, “Subordinated liabilities”, and dividend payments.

Scheme for remuneration for non-executive directors with deferred distribution of shares

BBVA has a remuneration system with deferred distribution of shares in place for its non-executive directors that was approved by the AGM held on March 18, 2006 and renewed for an additional 5-year period through a resolution of the AGM held on March 11, 2011.

This system consists in the annual allocation of a number of “theoretical shares” to the non-executive directors equivalent to 20% of the total remuneration received by each in the previous year. This is based on the average closing prices of the BBVA shares during the sixty trading sessions prior to the dates of the ordinary general meetings approving the annual financial statements for each year.

The shares will be delivered to each beneficiary, as appropriate, on the date he or she leaves the position of director for any reason except serious breach of duties.

The number of “theoretical shares” allocated to the non-executive directors who are beneficiaries of the deferred share distribution system during the first half of 2013, corresponding to 20% of the total remuneration received by each in 2012, is as follows:

Subsequent events

On July 20, 2013, BBVA reached an agreement with Leasing Bogotá S.A., Panamá, a subsidiary of Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores, S.A., for the sale to the former of the entire stake (98.92%) that BBVA holds directly and indirectly in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (Panamá), S.A. (“BBVA Panamá”).

The closing of the transaction is conditioned to the approval by the competent regulatory authorities.

The total consideration that BBVA expects to obtain pursuant to this sale amounts to approximately USD 646 million (492 million) including an adjustment to the net income generated by BBVA Panamá from June 1, 2013 up to closing. BBVA estimates that such amount will represent a positive adjustment of approximately USD 16 million (12 million).

BBVA has the option to receive part of the consideration through the distribution of dividends from BBVA Panamá amounting to USD 140 million (107 million) prior to closing (such amount would accordingly reduce the purchase price to be paid to BBVA at closing) in which case the capital gain net of taxes would amount to approximately 150 million.

On September 25, 2013, BBVA BBVA furnished to the SEC a relevant event notice on a Form 6-K relating to the free-of-charge capital increase approved by the General Meeting of BBVA shareholders held on March 15 2013, under item four, section 4.2 of the agenda, pursuant to which a system of flexible shareholder remuneration called “Dividend Option” is to be instrumented. Accompanying such relevant event notice is an information document describing the free-of-charge capital increase for purposes of articles 26.1.e) and 41.1.d) of Royal Decree 1310/2005 of November 4.

On October 2, 2013 BBVA completed the sale of the entirety of its approximately 64.3% interest in Chilean pension fund manager Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones Provida S.A. (“AFP Provida” or the “Company”) to subsidiaries of MetLife, Inc.

The total amount in cash received by BBVA in connection with the sale of its approximately 64.3% interest in the Company is approximately 1,540 million U.S. dollars (“USD”), taking into account the purchase price amounting to roughly 1,310 million USD as well as the dividends paid by AFP Provida since February 1, 2013 amounting to roughly 230 million USD (An exchange rate of 1 USD = 504.93 Chilean Pesos (CLP) as of September 30, 2013 has been considered for the dividends paid). The capital gain net of taxes arising from the transaction amounts to approximately 500 million.

From July 1, 2013 to the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, no other subsequent events not mentioned above in these financial statements have taken place that significantly affect the Group’s earnings or its equity position.

APPENDIX VIII

Information on data derived from the special accounting registry

The information requested in accordance with the Bank of Spain’s Circular 5/2011 is shown below:

 

a)

Mortgage market policies and procedures

The Bank has express policies and procedures in place regarding its activities in the mortgage market, which provide for full compliance with applicable legislation pursuant to Royal Decree 716/2009, of 24 April, 2009 implementing certain aspects of Act 2/1981, of 25 March 1981, regulating the mortgage market and other standards of the mortgage and financial system.

The mortgage granting policy is based on a number of criteria aimed at guaranteeing an adequate ratio between the amount of the loan and the payments, and the net income of the applicant. Applicants must in all cases prove sufficient repayment ability (present and future) to meet their repayment obligations, for the mortgage debt and for other debts detected in the financial system, and even those from an estimate of their current expenses deduced from socio-demographic information. Therefore, the applicant’s repayment ability is a key element within the credit decision-making tools and retail risk acceptance manuals, and has a high weighting in the final decision.

During the mortgage risk transaction analysis process, documentation supporting the applicant’s income (payroll, etc.) is required, and the applicant’s position in the financial system is checked through automated default database queries (internal and external), as well as verification in CIRBE. This information is used for calculation purposes in order to determine the level of indebtedness/compliance with the rest of the system. This documentation is kept in the transaction’s file.

In addition, the mortgage granting policy assesses the adequate ratio between the amount of the loan and the appraisal value of the mortgaged asset. If an appropriate level is not exceeded, additional collateral is required to reinforce the transaction’s hedging. In this regard, the policy also establishes that the property to be mortgaged be appraised by an independent appraisal company un-related to the Group and authorized by the Bank of Spain. BBVA selects those entities whose reputation, standing in the market and independence ensure that their appraisals adapt to the market reality in each territory. Each appraisal is reviewed and checked before the loan is granted by BBVA staff and, in those cases where the loan is finally granted, it is kept in the transaction’s file.

As for issues related to the mortgage market, the Group’s Finance Division annually defines the wholesale finance issue strategy, and more specifically mortgage bond issues, such as mortgage covered bonds or mortgage securitization. The Assets and Liabilities Committee (“ALCO”) tracks the budget monthly. The volume and type of assets in these transactions is determined in accordance with the wholesale finance plan, the trend of the Bank’s “Loans and receivables” outstanding balances and market conditions.

The Bank’s Board of Directors authorizes each Mortgage Transfer Certificate and/or Mortgage Participation issued by BBVA to securitize loans and mortgage loans, as well as the establishment of a Base Prospectus for the issue of fixed-income securities through which the mortgage-based securities are implemented, based on the agreements for the issue of fixed-income securities approved by the Annual General Meeting.

As established in article 24 of Royal Decree 716/2009, the volume of unmatured mortgage-based securities issued by a bank may not exceed 80% of a calculation base determined by adding the non-amortized capital of all the loans and mortgage loans in the bank’s portfolio that are eligible and are not covered by the issue of Mortgage Bonds, Mortgage Participations or Mortgage Transfer Certificates. For these purposes, in accordance with the aforementioned Royal Decree 716/2009, in order to be eligible, loans and mortgage loans must: (i) be secured by a first mortgage on the freehold; (ii) the loan’s amount may not exceed 80% of the appraisal value for home mortgages, and 60% for other mortgage lending; (iii) be established on assets exclusively and wholly owned by the mortgagor; (iv) have been appraised by an independent appraisal company unrelated to the Group and authorized by the Bank of Spain; and (v) the mortgaged property must be covered at least by a current damage insurance policy.

The Bank has established a number of controls for the issue of mortgage-based securities, according to which the total volume of mortgage-based securities issued and the remaining eligible collateral are controlled regularly in order to avoid going beyond the limit established in Royal Decree 716/2009, described in the preceding paragraph. In the case of securitizations, the preliminary portfolio of loans and mortgage loans to be securitized is checked by the Bank’s external auditor as required by the Spanish Securities and Exchange Commission. There are also a series of filters through which some loans and mortgage loans are excluded in accordance with legal, commercial and risk concentration criteria.

APPENDIX IX

Risks related to the developer and real-estate sector in Spain

 

a)

Policies and strategies established by the Group to deal with risks related to the developer and real-estate sector

BBVA has teams specializing in the management of the Real-Estate Sector risk, given its economic importance and specific technical component. This specialization is not only in the Risk-Acceptance teams, but throughout the handling, commercial, problematic management and legal aspects, and includes the research department (BBVA Research), which helps determine the medium/long-term vision needed to manage this portfolio. Specialization has been increased and the management teams in the areas of recovery and the Real Estate Unit itself have been reinforced.

The portfolio management policies, established to address the risks related to the developer and real-estate sector, aim to accomplish, among others, the following objectives: to avoid concentration in terms of customers, products and regions; to estimate the risk profile for the portfolio; and to anticipate possible worsening of the portfolio.

Specific policies for analysis and admission of new developer risk transactions

In the analysis of new operations, the assessment of the commercial operation in terms of the economic and financial viability of the project has been once of the constant points that have helped ensure the success and transformation of construction land operations for our customers’ developments.

As regards the participation of the Risk Acceptance teams, they have a direct link and participate in the committees of areas such as Recoveries and the Real Estate Unit. This guarantees coordination and exchange of information in all the processes.

The following strategies have been implemented with customers in the developer sector: avoidance of large corporate transactions, which had already reduced their share in the years of greatest market growth; non-participation in the second-home market; commitment to public housing financing; and participation in land operations with a high level of urban development security, giving priority to land open to urban development.

Risk monitoring policies

The base information for analyzing the real estate portfolios is updated monthly. The tools used include the so-called “watch-list”, which is updated monthly with the progress of each client under watch, and the different strategic plans for management of special groups. There are plans that involve an intensification of the review of the portfolio for financing land, while, in the case of ongoing promotions, they are classified for monitoring purposes based on the rate of progress of the projects.

These actions have enabled BBVA to anticipate possible impairment situations, by always keeping an eye on BBVA’s position with each customer (whether or not as first creditor). In this regard, key aspects include management of the risk policy to be followed with each customer, contract review, deadline extension, improved collateral, rate review (repricing) and asset purchase.

Proper management of the relationship with each customer requires knowledge of various aspects such as the identification of the source of payment difficulties, an analysis of the company’s future viability, the updating of the information on the debtor and the guarantors (their current situation and business course, economic-financial information, debt analysis and generation of funds), and the updating of the appraisal of the assets offered as collateral.

BBVA has a classification of debtors in accordance with legislation in force in each country, usually categorizing each one’s level of difficulty for each risk.

Based on the information above, a decision is made whether to use the refinancing tool, whose objective is to adjust the structure of the maturity of the debt to the generation of funds and the customer’s payment capacity.

As for the policies relating to risk refinancing with the developer and real-estate sector, they are the same as the general policies used for all of the Group’s risks. In the developer and real estate sector, they are based on clear solvency and viability criteria for projects, with demanding terms for additional guarantees and legal compliance. The policy on refinancing uses outstanding risk rather than nonperforming assets, with a refinancing tool that standardizes criteria and values up to a total of 19 variables when considering any refinancing operation.

In the case of refinancing, the tools used for enhancing the Bank’s position are: the search for new intervening parties with proven solvency and initial payment to reduce the principal debt or outstanding interest; the improvement of the debt bond in order to facilitate the procedure in the event of default; the provision of new or additional collateral; and making refinancing viable with new conditions (period, rate and repayments), adapted to a credible and sufficiently verified business plan.

Policies applied in the management of real estate assets in Spain

The policy applied for managing these assets depends on the type of real-estate asset, as detailed below.

In the case of completed homes, the final aim is the sale of these homes to private individuals, thus diluting the risk and beginning a new business cycle. Here, the strategy has been to help subrogation (the default rate in this channel of business is notably lower than in any other channel of residential mortgages) and to support our customers’ sales directly, using BBVA’s own channel (BBVA Services and our branches), creating incentives for sale and including sale orders for BBVA. In exceptional case we have even accepted partial haircuts, with the aim of making the sale easier.

In the case of ongoing construction work, our strategy has been to help and promote the completion of the works in order to transfer the investment to completed homes. The whole developer Works in Progress portfolio has been reviewed and classified into different stages with the aim of using different tools to support the strategy. This includes the use of developer accounts-payable financing as a form of payment control, the use of project monitoring supported by the Real Estate Unit itself, and the management of direct suppliers for the works as a complement to the developer’s own management.

With respect to land, the fact that the vast majority of our risk is urban land simplifies our management. Urban management and liquidity control to tackle urban planning costs are also subject to special monitoring.

Quantitative information on activities in the real-estate market in Spain

The following quantitative information on real-estate activities in Spain has been prepared using the reporting models required by Bank of Spain Circular 5/2011, of November 30.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, exposure to the construction sector and real-estate activities in Spain stood at 24,908 million and 23,656 million, respectively. Of that amount, risk from loans to construction and real-estate development activities accounted for 14,537 million and 15,358 million, representing 8.1% and 8.7% of loans and advances to customers of the balance of business in Spain (excluding the government and other government agencies) and 2.4% and 2.4% of the total assets of the Consolidated Group.

The drawn over the guarantee value shown in the tables above corresponds to the difference between the gross amount of each loan and the value of the real rights that, if applicable, were received as security, calculated according to Bank of Spain Circular 3/2010, which complements Appendix IX of Bank of Spain Circular 4/2004. This means that additional regulatory corrective factors ranging from 30% to 50%, based on the type of asset, have been applied to the updated appraisal values.

After applying these corrective factors, the excess value above the guarantee value, which represents the amount to be provisioned in accordance with Bank of Spain Circular 4/2004, amounted to 3,759 million and 784 million for nonperforming assets and substandard assets, respectively, as of June 30, 2013 (3,193 million and 911 million as of December 31, 2012).

In addition, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, specific recognized provisions for loans to the construction and real-estate development sector in Spain amounted to 5,531 million and 5,642 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the updated appraisal values, without the application of said corrective factors, rose to 17,296 million and 22,793 million, respectively (an average LTV of 84% and 67.4%, respectively) which broadly covers the amount of the debt.

The following is a description of the real estate credit risk based on the types of associated guarantees:

APPENDIX X: Refinancing and restructuring operations and other requirements under Bank of Spain Circular 6/2012

REFINANCING AND RESTRUCTURING OPERATIONS

 

a)

Group policies and principles with respect to refinancing or restructuring operations

Refinancing/restructuring operations (see definition in the Glossary, Appendix XI) are carried out with customers who have requested such an operation in order to meet their current debt payments if they are expected, or may be expected, to experience financial difficulty in making the payments in the future.

The basic aim of a refinanced/restructured operation is to provide the customer with a situation of financial viability over time by adapting repayment of the debt incurred with the bank to the customer’s new situation of fund generation. The use of refinancing or restructuring with for other purposes, such as for delaying loss recognition, is contrary to BBVA Group policies.

The BBVA Group’s refinancing/restructuring policies are based on the following general principles:

 

 

Refinancing and restructuring is authorized according to the capacity of customers to pay the new installments. This is done by first identifying the origin of the payment difficulties and then carrying out an analysis of the customers’ viability, including an updated analysis of their economic and financial situation and capacity to pay and generate funds. If the customer is a company, the analysis also covers the situation of the sector in which it operates.

 

 

With the aim of increasing the solvency of the operation, new guarantees and/or guarantors of demonstrable solvency are obtained where possible. An essential part of this process is an analysis of the effectiveness of both the new and original guarantees submitted.

 

 

This analysis is carried out from the overall customer or group perspective, and not only from the perspective of a specific product.

 

 

Refinancing and restructuring operations do not in general increase the amount of the customer’s debt, except for the expenses inherent to the operation itself.

 

 

The capacity to refinance and restructure debt is not delegated to the branches, but decided on by the risk units.

 

 

The decisions adopted are reviewed from time to time with the aim of checking full compliance with refinancing and restructuring policies.

These general principles are adapted in each case according to the conditions and circumstances of each geographical area in which the Group operates, and to the different types of customers involved.

In the case of retail customers (private individuals), the main aim of the BBVA Group’s policy on refinancing/restructuring debt is to avoid default arising from a customer’s temporary liquidity problems by implementing structural solutions that do not increase the customer’s debt. The solution required is adapted to each case and the debt repayment is made easier, in accordance with the following principles:

 

 

Analysis of the viability of operations based on the customer’s willingness and ability to pay, which may be reduced, but should nevertheless be present. The customer must therefore repay at least the interest on the operation in all cases. No arrangements may be concluded that involve a grace period for both capital and interest.

 

 

No refinancing/restructuring operations may be concluded on debt that is not incurred with the BBVA Group.

 

 

Customers subject to refinancing or restructuring operations are excluded from commercial campaigns of any kind.

In the case of wholesale customers (basically businesses and corporations), refinancing/restructuring is authorized according to an economic and financial viability plan based on:

 

 

Forecast future income, margins and cash flows over a sufficiently long period (around five years) to allow entities to implement cost adjustment measures (industrial restructuring) and a business development plan that can help reduce the level of leverage to sustainable levels (capacity to access the financial markets).

 

 

A-30


Table of Contents
 

Where appropriate, the existence of a divestment plan for assets and/or business segments that can generate cash to assist the deleveraging process.

 

 

The capacity of shareholders to contribute capital and/or guarantees that can support the viability plan.

As stated in Note 3 of the accompanying Financial Statements, the BBVA Group acquired Unnim in 2012. Unnim’s policies with respect to debt refinancing may have been different from those of BBVA, but after its integration it adapted its policies to those established by the BBVA Group.

In accordance with the Group’s policy, the conclusion of a debt refinancing/restructuring operation does not imply the debt is reclassified from “impaired” or “substandard” to outstanding risk; such a reclassification must be based on the analysis mentioned earlier of the viability and effectiveness of the new guarantees submitted.

In any event, the Group maintains its policy of including risks relating to refinanced/restructured assets as either: “doubtful assets”, as although the customer is up to date with payments, they are classified as impaired for reasons other than their default when there are significant doubts that the terms of their refinancing may not be met; “substandard assets”, because there is some material doubt as to possible non-compliance with the refinanced operation; or “normal-risk assets” (although as mentioned in the table in the following section, they continue to be classified as “normal-risk assets with special monitoring” until the conditions established by Bank of Spain Circular 6/2012 for their consideration as outstanding risk are met).

The conditions established by the Bank of Spain’s Circular 6/2012 for “normal-risk assets with special monitoring” to be reclassified out of this special monitoring category are as follows:

 

 

The customer must have paid past-due amounts (principal and interest) since the date of the renegotiation or restructuring of the operation;

 

 

At least two years must have elapsed since the renegotiation or restructuring of the operation;

 

 

The customer must have paid at least 20% of the outstanding principal amount of the loan as well as all the past-due amounts (principal and interest) that were outstanding as of the date of the renegotiation or restructuring of the operation; and

 

 

It is unlikely that the borrower will have financial difficulties and, therefore, it is expected that the borrower will be able to meet its debt payment obligations (principal and interest) in a timely manner.

The BBVA Group’s refinancing/restructuring policy provides for the possibility of multiple modifications, which shall be approved on an individual basis based on the risk profile of the relevant customer and its degree of compliance with the prior payment calendar.

The internal models used to determine allowances for loan losses consider the restructuring or renegotiation of a loan, as well as re-defaults on a loan, by assigning a lower internal rating to restructured/renegotiated loans than the average internal rating assigned to non-restructured/renegotiated loans. This downgrade results in an increase in the probability of default (PD) assigned to restructured/renegotiated loans (with the resulting PD being higher than the average PD of the non- renegotiated loans in the same portfolios).”

APPENDIX XI

Glossary

 

Adjusted acquisition cost    The acquisition cost of the securities less accumulated amortizations, plus interest accrued, but not net of any other valuation adjustments.
Amortized cost    The amortized cost of a financial asset is the amount at which it was measured at initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus or minus, as warranted, the cumulative amount taken to profit or loss using the effective interest rate method of any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount, and minus any reduction for impairment or change in measured value.
Associates    Companies in which the Group has a significant influence, without having control. Significant influence is deemed to exist when the Group owns 20% or more of the voting rights of an investee directly or indirectly.
Available-for-sale financial assets    Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets are debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity investments or as financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) and equity instruments that are not subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities and have not been designated as at FVTPL.
Basic earnings per share    Calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period
Business combination        A business combination is a transaction, or any other event, through which a single entity obtains the control of one or more businesses
Cash flow hedges    Those that hedge the exposure to variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and could effect profit or loss.
Commissions and fees    Income and expenses relating to commissions and similar fees are recognized in the consolidated income statement using criteria that vary according to their nature. The most significant income and expense items in this connection are:
    

-             Fees and commissions relating linked to financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, which are recognized when collected

    

-             Fees and commissions arising from transactions or services that are provided over a period of time, which are recognized over the life of these transactions or services.

    

-             Fees and commissions generated by a single act are accrued upon execution of that act.

Contingencies    Current obligations of the entity arising as a result of past events whose existence depends on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events independent of the will of the entity.
Contingent liabilities    Possible obligations of the entity that arise from past events and whose existence depends on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events independent of the entity’s will and that could lead to the recognition of financial assets.

Table of Contents
Contingent risks    Transactions through which the entity guarantees commitments assumed by third parties in respect of financial guarantees granted or other types of contracts.
Control    An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. An investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all the following:
     (a) Power; An investor has power over an investee when the investor has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities, ie the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns.

The difference between the number of ordinary shares issued and the number of ordinary shares that would have been issued at the average market price of ordinary shares during the period shall be treated as an issue of ordinary shares for no consideration. Such shares are dilutive and are added to the number of ordinary shares outstanding in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Significant influence    Is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of those policies. If an entity holds, directly or indirectly (eg through subsidiaries), 20 per cent or more of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that the entity has significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. Conversely, if the entity holds, directly or indirectly (eg through subsidiaries), less than 20 per cent of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that the entity does not have significant influence, unless such influence can be clearly demonstrated. A substantial or majority ownership by another investor does not necessarily preclude an entity from having significant influence.
     The existence of significant influence by an entity is usually evidenced in one or more of the following ways:
     (a) representation on the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the investee;
     (b) participation in policy-making processes, including participation in decisions about dividends or other distributions;
     (c) material transactions between the entity and its investee;
     (d) interchange of managerial personnel; or
     (e) provision of essential technical information.
Structured Entities    A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements. A structured entity often has some or all of the following features or attributes:
     (a) restricted activities.
     (b) a narrow and well-defined objective, such as to effect a tax-efficient lease, carry out research and development activities, provide a source of capital or funding to an entity or provide investment opportunities for investors by passing on risks and rewards associated with the assets of the structured entity to investors.
     (c) insufficient equity to permit the structured entity to finance its activities without subordinated financial support.
     (d) financing in the form of multiple contractually linked instruments to investors that create concentrations of credit or other risks (tranches).
Restructured Operation    An operation whose financial conditions are modified for economic or legal reasons related to the holder’s (or holders’) current or foreseeable financial difficulties, in order to enable payment of the debt (principal and interest), because the holder is unable, or is expected to be unable, to meet those conditions in a timely and appropriate manner, even if such modification is provided for in the contract. In any event, the following are considered restructured operations: operations in which a haircut is made or assets are received in order to reduce the debt, or in which their conditions are modified in order to extend their maturity, change the amortization table in order to reduce the amount of the installments in the short term or reduce their frequency, or to establish or extend the grace period for the principal, the interest or both; except when it can be proved that the conditions are modified for reasons other than the financial difficulties of the holders and, are similar to those applied on the market on the modification date for operations granted to customers with a similar risk profile.

Subsidiaries    Companies over which the Group exercises control. An entity is presumed to have control over another when it possesses the right to oversee its financial and operational policies, through a legal, statutory or contractual procedure, in order to obtain benefits from its economic activities. Control is presumed to exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than one half of an entity’s voting power, unless, exceptionally, it can be clearly demonstrated that ownership of more than one half of an entity’s voting rights does not constitute control of it. Control also exists when the parent owns half or less of the voting power of an entity when there is:
   (a) an agreement that gives the parent the right to control the votes of other shareholders;
   (b) power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity under a statute or an agreement; power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or equivalent governing body and control of the entity is by that board or body;
   (c) power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the board of directors or equivalent governing body and control of the entity is by that board or body.

Unit-link    This is life insurance in which the policyholder assumes the risk. In these policies, the funds for the technical insurance provisions are invested in the name of and on behalf of the policyholder in shares of Collective Investment Institutions and other financial assets chosen by the policyholder, who bears the investment risk.
Value at Risk (VaR)    Value at Risk (VaR) is the basic variable for measuring and controlling the Group’s market risk. This risk metric estimates the maximum loss that may occur in a portfolio’s market positions for a particular time horizon and given confidence level.
     VaR figures are estimated following two methodologies:
     - VaR without smoothing, which awards equal weight to the daily information for the immediately preceding last two years. This is currently the official methodology for measuring market risks vis-à-vis limits compliance of the risk.
     - VaR with smoothing, which weights more recent market information more heavily. This is a metric which supplements the previous one.
     VaR with smoothing adapts itself more swiftly to the changes in financial market conditions, whereas VaR without smoothing is, in general, a more stable metric that will tend to exceed VaR with smoothing when the markets show less volatile trends, while it will tend to be lower when they present upturns in uncertainty.
