Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2015

Introduction, basis for the presentation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and other information.

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 inspection 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 separate financial statements, the Bank is therefore required to prepare the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements of the BBVA Group for the year ended December 31, 2014 were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) on March 13, 2015.

Basis for the presentation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

The BBVA Group’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 (“IAS 34”), on interim financial information for the preparation of condensed financial statements for an interim period and have been presented to the Board of Directors at its meeting held on October 29, 2015. According to IAS 34, the interim financial information is prepared solely with the purpose of updating the last prepared consolidated financial statements, focusing on new activities, events and circumstances that occurred during the period without duplicating the information previously published in the last consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all information required by a complete consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, consequently for an appropriate understanding of the information included in them, they should be read together with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the Interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the six months ended June 30, 2015. The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the Interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the six months ended June 30, 2015 were presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union (hereinafter, “EU-IFRS”) applicable as of December 31, 2014 and as of June 30, 2015, 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.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements (hereinafter “consolidated financial statement”) were prepared applying the principles of consolidation, accounting policies and valuation criteria, which as described in Note 2, are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the Interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the six months ended June 30, 2015, taking into account the standards and interpretations issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, so that they presented fairly the Group’s consolidated equity and financial position of the Group as of September 30, 2015, together with the consolidated results of its operations and the consolidated cash flows generated in the Group during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. These consolidated financial statements and explanatory notes were prepared on the basis of the accounting records kept by the Bank and each of the other entities in the Group, they include the adjustments and reclassifications required to harmonize the accounting policies and valuation criteria used by the Group.

 Translation of the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish and prepared in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union (See Note 1 and 10). In the event of a discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.

 

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.

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

Comparative information

The information included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the explanatory notes referring to December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014 is presented exclusively for the purpose of comparison with the information for September 30, 2015.

In 2015, the BBVA Group business segments were changed with regard to the existing structure in 2014 (See Note 5). The information related to business segments as of December 31, 2014 and as of September 30, 2014 has been restated in order to make them comparable, as required by IFRS 8 “Operating segments”.

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.

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 (see Notes 6, 7, 8 and 9) relate mainly to the following:

 

   

Impairment on certain financial assets.

 

   

The assumptions used to quantify certain provisions and for the actuarial calculation of post-employment benefit liabilities and commitments.

 

   

The useful life and impairment losses of tangible and intangible assets.

 

   

The valuation of goodwill and price allocation of business combinations.

 

   

The fair value of certain unlisted financial assets and liabilities.

 

   

The recoverability of deferred tax assets.

Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available as of September 30, 2015 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 there have been no significant changes to the assumptions made as of December 31, 2014, other than those indicated in these interim consolidated financial statements.

Related-party transactions

The most recent available information related to these transactions is presented in Note 52 of the Interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

As financial institutions, BBVA and other entities in the Group engage in transactions with related parties in the normal course of their business. All of these transactions are of little relevance and are carried out under normal market conditions.

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

The accounting policies and methods applied for the preparation of the accompanying financial statements, except those mentioned above, are the same as those applied in the Interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Recent IFRS pronouncements

Changes introduced in the first nine months of 2015

The following modifications to the IFRS standards or their interpretations (hereinafter “IFRIC”) came into force after January 1, 2015. They have not had a material impact on the BBVA Group’s interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the period ended September 30, 2015.

Amended IAS 19 - “Employee Benefits. Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions”

The new IAS 19 amends the accounting requirements for contributions to defined benefit plans to permit to recognize these contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the same period where they are paid if they meet certain requirements, without the need for calculations to attribute the contributions to the periods of service.

Annual Improvements cycle to IFRSs 2010-2012– laminar changes to IFRS 8, IFRS 13, IAS 16, IAS 24 and IAS 38

Annual Improvements cycle to IFRSs 2010-2012 introduces small modifications and clarifications to IFRS 8 - Operating Segments, IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement, IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment, IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures and IAS 38 - Intangible Assets.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle introduces small modifications and clarifications to IFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of IFRSs, IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement and IAS 40 - Investment Property.

Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective as of September 30, 2015

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 September 30, 2015. 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”

As of July, 24, 2014, IASB issued the IFRS 9 which will replace IAS 39. The new standard introduces significant differences with respect to the current regulation with regards to financial assets; among others, the approval of a new classification model based on two single categories of amortized cost and fair value, the elimination of the current “Held-to-maturity-investments” and “Available-for-sale financial assets” categories, impairment analyses only for assets measured at amortized cost and non-separation of embedded derivatives in contracts of financial assets.

With regard to financial liabilities, the classification categories proposed by IFRS 9 are similar to those contained in IAS 39, so there should not be very significant differences save for the requirement to recognize changes in fair value related to own credit risk as a component of equity, in the case of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss.

Hedge accounting requirements also differs from the current IAS 39 due to the new focus on the economic risk management.

 Translation of the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish and prepared in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union (See Note 1 and 10). In the event of a discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.

 

The IASB has established January 1, 2018, as the mandatory application date, with the possibility of early adoption.

Amended IFRS 7 - “Financial instruments: Disclosures”

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

Amended IFRS 11 - “Joint Arrangements”

The amendments made to IFRS 11 require the acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business to apply all of the principles on business combinations accounting in IFRS 3 and other IFRSs.

These modifications will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2016, although early adoption is permitted.

Amended IAS 16 - “Property, Plant and Equipment” and Amended IAS 38 – “Intangible Assets”.

The amendments made to IAS 16 and IAS 38 exclude, as general rule, as depreciation method to be used, those methods based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset, because the revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits of the asset.

These modifications will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2018, although early adoption is permitted.

IFRS 15 - “Revenue from contracts with customers”

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

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

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

This Standard will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2017, although early adoption is permitted.

Amended IAS 27 – “Separate financial statements”

Changes to IAS 27 allow entities to use the equity method to account for investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, in their separate financial statements.

These changes will be applicable to accounting periods beginning January 1, 2016, although early adoption is permitted.

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

The amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 establish that when an entity sells or transfers assets are considered a business (including its consolidated subsidiaries) to an associate or joint venture of the entity, the latter will have to recognize any gains or losses derived from such transaction in its entirety. Notwithstanding, if the assets sold or transferred are not considered a business, the entity will have to recognize the gains or losses derived only to the extent of the interests in the associate or joint venture with unrelated investors.

These changes will be applicable to accounting periods beginning January 1, 2018, although early adoption is allowed.

Annual improvements cycle to IFRSs 2012-2014

The annual improvements cycle to IFRSs 2012-2014 includes minor changes and clarifications to IFRS 5 – Non current assets held for sale and discontinued operations, IFRS 7 – Financial instruments: Information to disclose, IAS 19 – Employee benefits and IAS 34 – interim financial information.

These changes will be applicable to accounting periods beginning January 1, 2016, although early adoption is allowed.

Amended IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments made to IAS 1 further encourage companies to apply professional judgment in determining what information to disclose in their financial statements, in determining when line items are disaggregated and additional headings and subtotals included in the statement of financial position and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, and in determining where and in what order information is presented in the financial disclosures.

These modifications will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2016, although early adoption is permitted.

IFRS 10 - “Consolidated Financial Statements”, Amended IFRS 12 – “Disclosure of interests in other entities” and Amended IAS 28 – “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”

The amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 introduce clarifications to the requirements when accounting for investment entities in three aspects:

 

   

The amendments confirm that a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity has the possibility to apply the exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements

 

   

The amendments clarify that if an investment entity has a subsidiary whose main purpose is to support the investment entity’s investment activities by providing investment-related services or activities, to the entity or other parties, and that is not itself an investment entity, it shall consolidate that subsidiary; but if that subsidiary is itself an investment entity, the investment entity parent shall measure the subsidiary at fair value through profit or loss.

 

   

The amendments require a non-investment entity investor to retain, when applying the equity method, the fair value measurement applied by an investment entity associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries.

These modifications will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2016, although early adoption is permitted.

Changes in the Group in 2015

Investments

Acquisition of an additional 14.9% of Garanti

On November 19, 2014, the Group signed a new agreement with Dogus Holding AS, Ferit Faik Sahenk, Dianne Sahenk and Defne Sahenk (hereinafter “Dogus”) to, among other terms, the acquisition of 62,538,000,000 shares of Garanti (equivalent to 14.89% of the capital of this entity) for a maximum total consideration of 8.90 Turkish lira per batch (Garanti traded in batches of 100 shares each).

In the same agreement stated that if the payment of dividends for the year 2014 was executed by Dogus before the closing of the acquisition, that amount would be deducted from the amount payable by BBVA. On April 27, 2015, Dogus received the amount of the dividend paid to shareholders of Garanti, which amounted to Turkish Liras 0,135 per batch.

On July 27, after obtaining all the required regulatory approvals, the Group has materialized said participation increase after the acquisition of the new shares. Now the Group’s interest in Garanti is 39.9%.

The total price effectively paid by BBVA amounts to 8.765 TL per batch (amounting to approximately TL 5,481 million and 1,854 million applying a 2,9571 TL/EUR exchange rate).

In accordance with the NIIF-UE accounting rules, and as a consequence of the agreements reached, the BBVA Group shall, at the date of effective control, measure at fair value its previously acquired stake of 25.01% in Garanti (classified as a joint venture accounted for using the equity method) and shall fully consolidate Garanti in the consolidated financial statements of the BBVA Group, beginning on the above-mentioned effective control date.

Measuring the above-mentioned stake in Garanti Bank at fair value will result in a negative impact in the Profit attributable to parent company of the BBVA Group in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 amounting to 1,840 million. Such accounting impact does not translate into any additional cash outflow from BBVA. Most of this impact is generated by the exchange rate differences due to the depreciation of the TL against Euro since the initial acquisition by BBVA of the 25.01% stake in Garanti Bank up to the date of effective control. As of June 30, 2015, these exchange rate differences are already registered as Other Comprehensive Income deducting the stock shareholder’s equity of the BBVA Group.

As of September 30, 2015, Garanti Group has total assets of approximately 88,000 million, of which approximately 52,000 million are loans to customers, and a volume of customer deposits of approximately 73,000 million.

The amount that Garanti would have contributed to the profit attributable to parent company had that business combination been performed at the start of 2015 would be 355 million.

As of the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the calculation for determining the final amount of the goodwill in accordance with IFRS 3 has not yet been completed. As of September 30, 2015, according to the acquisition method, the comparison between the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from Garanti, and the cash payment made by the Group in consideration of the transaction generated a difference of 678 million, which is registered under the heading “Goodwill and other intangible assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Acquisition of Catalunya Banc

On July 21, 2014, the Management Commission of the Banking Restructuring Fund (known as “FROB”) accepted BBVA’s bid in the competitive auction for the acquisition of Catalunya Banc, S.A. (“Catalunya Banc”).

On April 24, 2015, once the necessary authorizations have been obtained and all the agreed conditions precedent have been fulfilled, BBVA announced that it acquired 1,947,166,809 shares of Catalunya Banc, S.A. (approximately 98.4% of its share capital) for a price of approximately 1,165 million.

As of September 30, 2015, Catalunya Banc has total assets of approximately 44,000 million, of which approximately 19,500 million are loans to customers, and a volume of customer deposits of approximately 38,000 million.

The amount that Catalunya Banc would have contributed to the consolidated Group had that business combination been performed at the start of 2015 is not material.

As of September 30, 2015, according to the purchase method, the comparison between the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed from Catalunya Banc, and the cash payment made to the FROB in consideration of the transaction generated a difference of 22 million, which is registered under the heading “Negative Goodwill in business combinations” in the accompanying consolidated income statement. As of the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the calculation for determining the final amount of this negative consolidation difference in accordance with IFRS 3 has not yet been completed.

Operating segment reporting

The information about operating segments is provided in accordance with IFRS 8. Operating segment reporting represents a basic tool in the oversight and management of the BBVA Group’s various activities. The BBVA Group compiles reporting information on as disaggregated 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 BBVA Group management into higher level units and, ultimately, the reportable segments themselves.

During 2015, there have been changes in the reporting structure of the operating segments of the BBVA Group with regard to the current structure during 2014. The increase of participation in the Turkish bank Garanti up to 39.9%, the balance sheet and income statement of Garanti is presented separately from the Eurasia operating segment. The operating segment reporting structure is as follows:

 

 

Banking activity in 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.

 

   

Other units, among them BBVA Seguros and Asset Management (management of mutual and pension funds in Spain.

 

   

In addition, it also includes the portfolios, finance and structural interest-rate positions of the euro balance sheet.

 

 

Real estate activity in Spain

Manage 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 and foreclosed real estate assets.

 

 

Turkey

Includes the 39.9% stake in the Turkish bank Garanti as of September 30, 2015 and the 25.01% stake as of December 31, 2014.

 

 

Mexico

Comprising of the banking and insurance businesses. The banking business includes retail business through its Commercial Banking, Consumer Finance and Corporate and Institutional Banking units; and wholesale banking through CIB.

 

 

The United States

South America

Rest of Eurasia

Includes the business carried out in the rest of Europe and Asia, i.e. the retail and wholesale businesses of the BBVA Group in the area.

Finally, Corporate Center is an aggregate that contains the remainder 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; and the results of certain corporate transactions.

With regards to the exchange rates used to convert the financial statements of the Group’s subsidiaries in Venezuela into Euros, we note that the exchange rate used in the Accounts for the periods ended September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 was that fixed by the SICAD I (Complementary Currency Management System). Through this system, the Exchange rate for the U.S. dollar was fixed in open auctions for both individuals or companies, resulting in an exchange rate that fluctuates from auction to auction and which is published in the SICAD web page.

On February 10, 2015, the Venezuelan government announced the closure of SICAD II as a mechanism regulating the purchase and sale of foreign currency, its merger with SICAD I in a new SICAD (not yet in place) and the creation of a new foreign-currency system called SIMADI. In accordance with the IAS 21, the exchange rate to be used to convert currencies is that which in the entity’s judgment best reflects the situation at the date of the financial statements. The exchange rate used by the Group for converting the Venezuelan currency as of September 30, 2015 is that of SIMADI (see Notes 8 and 9).

The breakdown of the BBVA Group’s total assets by operating segments as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, is as follows:
