PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Accounting Principles

The interim financial information included in this report on Form 6-K is unaudited and does not comply with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

This report on Form 6-K should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in BBVA’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2014.

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.

• Certain comparisons are made on a “constant exchange rates” basis in order to present an analysis of the development of our results of operations from period-to-period without the effects of currency fluctuations. To make comparisons on a “constant exchange rates” basis, we convert the relevant financial item into euro using the prior period’s average euro to relevant local currency exchange rate.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

A. Operating Results

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

Trends in Exchange Rates

We are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk in that our reporting currency is the euro, whereas certain of our subsidiaries keep their accounts in other currencies, principally Mexican pesos, U.S. dollars, Argentine pesos, Chilean pesos, Colombian pesos, Venezuelan bolivars fuerte and New Peruvian soles. For example, if Latin American currencies and the U.S. dollar depreciate against the euro, when the results of operations of our subsidiaries in the countries using these currencies are included in our consolidated financial statements, the euro value of their results declines, even if, in local currency terms, their results of operations and financial condition have remained the same or improved relative to the prior period. Accordingly, declining exchange rates may limit the ability of our results of operations, stated in euro, to fully describe the performance in local currency terms of our subsidiaries. By contrast, the appreciation of Latin American currencies and the U.S. dollar against the euro would have a positive impact on the results of operations of our subsidiaries in the countries using these currencies when their results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements. We are also exposed to fluctuations of the Turkish lira as a result of our investment in Türkiye Garanti Bankasi A.Ş. (“Garanti”).

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 financial results as reported in this Form 6-K. Income statement items have been converted at the average exchange rates for the period. The following table sets forth the exchange rates of several Latin American currencies, the U.S. dollar and the Turkish lira against the euro, expressed in local currency per €1.00 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively, and as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 according to the European Central Bank (“ECB”).

	Average Exchange Rates				Period-End Exchange Rates
	For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014		For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013		As of September 30, 2014		As of December 31, 2013
Mexican peso		17.7737		16.7017		16.9978		18.0731
U.S. dollar		1.3550		1.3169		1.2583		1.3791
Argentine peso		10.8128		6.9531		10.6452		8.9890
Chilean peso		759.8784		643.0868		757.0023		722.5434
Colombian peso		2,631.5789		2,444.9878		2,551.0204		2,659.5745
Peruvian new sol		3.8031		3.5234		3.6384		3.8535
Venezuelan bolivar fuerte		14.7072		7.8697		15.0996		8.6775
Turkish lira		2.9332		2.4591		2.8779		2.9605

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, all currencies referred to above depreciated against the euro on average terms. At period-end, all of these currencies appreciated against the euro compared with the period-end rates at December 31, 2013 with the exception of the Argentine peso, the Chilean peso and the Venezuelan bolivar fuerte. Overall, the effect of changes in the exchange rates on the period-on-period comparison of the Group’s income statement was negative.

Net interest income

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to €10,358 million, a 0.6% increase compared with the €10,293 million recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, mainly as a result of the strong activity in emerging markets partially offset by the impact of the average exchange rate depreciation against the euro of the Venezuelan bolivar fuerte and the Argentine peso.

Dividend income

Dividend income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to €412 million, a 240.5% increase compared with the €121 million recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of the collection of dividend payments by the Telefónica group (which did not pay dividends during the nine months ended September 30, 2013) and CNCB, which was accounted for under the equity method until September 30, 2013.

6

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 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to €265 million, a 56.8% decrease compared with the €614 million recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, mainly due to the reclassification of our interest in CNCB to “Available-for-sale financial assets” on October 2013 as a result of which CNCB ceased to be accounted for under this line item.

Fee and commission income

The breakdown of fee and commission income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,

Fee and commission income decreased by 0.9% to €4,024 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from €4,060 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. While fee and commission income was negatively affected by exchange rates fluctuations, such effect was significantly offset by the increased activity in certain emerging countries.

Fee and commission expenses

The breakdown of fee and commission expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,				Change (In %)

Fee and commission expenses increased by 6.7% to €968 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from €907 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, mainly as a result of the impact of emerging countries where commission expenses have grown as a result of increased activity.

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

	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,						Change
	2014			2013

Net exchange differences decreased to €431 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from €667 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to the negative evolution of foreign currencies. See “-Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition-Trends in Exchange Rates”.

Other operating income and expenses

Other operating income amounted to €3,325 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 a 9.6% decrease compared with €3,677 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to decreased income derived from non-financial services and insurance and reinsurance contracts.

Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, amounted to €3,872 million, a 2.0% decrease compared with the €3,952 million recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, mainly as a result of lower contributions to the deposit guarantee funds.

8

Administration costs

Administration costs comprise personnel expenses and general and administrative expenses and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were €6,925 million, a 4.3% decrease from the €7,238 million recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to the effect of exchange rates in Latin American currencies and the U.S. Dollar and a policy of cost optimization in developed countries.

The table below provides a breakdown of personnel expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

This operating segment’s non-performing assets ratio was 6.2%, as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and 6.4% as of December 31, 2013.
