BBVA said its takeover bid for Banco Sabadell will not proceed after shareholders representing 25.5 percent of voting rights accepted, below the minimum threshold. With the bid lapse, BBVA will accelerate shareholder distributions. On October 31, it will begin executing a pending share buyback of around €1 billion. On November 7, it will pay an interim dividend of €0.32 per share, totaling €1.8 billion. After authorization from the European Central Bank, it plans a significant additional share buyback.

Reaffirming its 2025–2028 Strategic Plan, BBVA targets ROTE around 22 percent and an efficiency ratio around 35 percent, and aims for growth in tangible book value per share plus dividends of about 15 percent CAGR. The bank also aims for approximately €48 billion in cumulative attributable profit over four years and expects to have €36 billion to distribute to shareholders through 2028, with about €13 billion available in the near term.

BBVA ha dichiarato che la sua offerta pubblica di acquisto su Banco Sabadell non proseguirà, dopo che gli azionisti che rappresentano il 25,5% dei diritti di voto hanno accettato, ben al di sotto della soglia minima.

Il 7 novembre pagherà un dividendo intermedio di 0,32 euro per azione, per un totale di 1,8 miliardi di euro. Dopo l'autorizzazione della Banca centrale europea, prevede un ulteriore significativo buyback azionario. Confermando il piano strategico 2025-2028, BBVA mira a un ROTE intorno al 22% e a un rapporto di efficienza intorno al 35%, e punta a una crescita nel valore contabile tangibile per azione, oltre ai dividendi, di circa il 15% di CAGR. La banca punta inoltre a circa 48 miliardi di euro di utile cumulativo attribuibile nel corso di quattro anni e si aspetta di avere 36 miliardi di euro da distribuire agli azionisti entro il 2028, con circa 13 miliardi di euro disponibili nel breve termine.

Insights

Bid fails; BBVA pivots to sizable capital returns with stated targets.

BBVA’s tender for Banco Sabadell lapsed with 25.5 percent acceptances, below its minimum condition. Management shifts focus to capital return: a pending buyback of around €1 billion starts on October 31, and an interim dividend of €0.32 per share (total €1.8 billion) will be paid on November 7. A further buyback is planned, subject to European Central Bank authorization.

The 2025–2028 plan lists financial objectives: ROTE around 22%, efficiency ratio around 35%, and growth in tangible book value per share plus dividends of about 15% CAGR. The bank cites approximately €48 billion cumulative attributable profit over four years and expects €36 billion available for distributions through 2028.

Execution depends on regulatory approvals for additional buybacks and ongoing earnings delivery. Concrete near-term dates are October 31 for buyback commencement and November 7 for the interim dividend.

BBVA to Accelerate Shareholder

Remuneration Following the Lapse

of its Offer for Banco Sabadell

BBVA announces that the takeover bid for Banco Sabadell will not proceed as the minimum acceptance level set by the bank has not been met. Looking ahead, BBVA’s Strategic Plan and its corresponding ambitious financial goals will consolidate the Group at the forefront of European banking in terms of both growth and profitability. As part of the Strategic Plan, BBVA is to immediately resume shareholder remuneration: On October 31, it will start executing the pending share buyback of around 1 billion; on November 7, it will pay the highest interim dividend ever (0.32 per share) for a total of 1.8 billion; and, as soon as it receives the authorization from the European Central Bank, (ECB) it will launch a significant additional1 share buyback program.

The Spanish National Securities and Market Commission (CNMV) has published the outcome of BBVA’s takeover bid for Banco Sabadell. The offer has been accepted by Banco Sabadell shareholders representing 25.5 percent of the voting rights, so the offer is no longer in effect as the minimum acceptance condition has not been met.

“I would like to thank Banco Sabadell shareholders who backed the project. I also want to thank BBVA shareholders for their continued support, and the bank’s team for their outstanding work throughout the entire process,” BBVA Chair Carlos Torres Vila said. “At BBVA we look to the future with confidence and enthusiasm. We have a bank at its best, with a committed team, and a clear roadmap to continue growing and creating value for our shareholders, customers and society,” he added.

BBVA’s Board of Directors has unanimously reasserted its commitment to the new Strategic Plan and the financial goals for the 2025-2028 period (https://www.bbva.com/en/economy-and-finance/earnings-2q25/), which will enable the Group to remain at the forefront of European banking in terms of growth and profitability.

During this period, the bank expects ROTE to stand around 22 percent, with the efficiency ratio improving to levels around 35 percent. Likewise, BBVA plans to continue creating value for shareholders, with an increase in the tangible book value per share plus dividends of around 15 percent (CAGR). Finally, the bank aims to reach a cumulative attributable profit of approximately 48 billion over four years.
