CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “project”, “anticipate”, “should”, “intend”, “probability”, “risk”, “VaR”, “target”, “goal”, “objective”, and “future” or by the use of similar expressions or variations on such expressions, or by the discussion of strategy or objectives. Forward-looking statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The accompanying information in this report, including, without limitation, the information under the items listed below, identifies important factors that could cause such differences:
•“Item 4B. Business Overview”;
•“Item 4E. Selected Statistical Information”;
•“Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”; and
•“Other Matters”.
Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the factors identified in “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors”, “Item 4. Information on the Company”, “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the 2024 Form 20-F.
Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others:
•the deterioration of economic conditions or the alteration of the institutional environment of the countries in which we operate, especially Spain, Mexico and Turkey, including any adverse developments, or the perception that such developments may occur, regarding credit quality, public debt sustainability, economic or fiscal policy and sovereign ratings, particularly Spain’s, Mexico’s and Turkey’s, among other factors. Financial and macroeconomic volatility may increase as a result of, among other factors, U.S. administration policies, including tariffs and fiscal and regulatory changes. The effects of, and uncertainty arising from, these policies and large fiscal deficits have raised the U.S. risk premium, pushing up long-term sovereign yields and weakening the U.S. dollar, and they may spark further market instability;
•the effects of geopolitical tensions and economic challenges in recent years including, among other factors, the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, long-standing U.S.-China rivalry, including recent trade tariffs, the escalation of trade tariffs globally, and changes in policies generally. Furthermore, there is the risk of a sharp global growth slowdown;
•changes or volatility in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, asset prices, equity markets, commodity prices (including energy prices), inflation or deflation and, in particular, as of the date of this report on Form 6-K, the depreciation of the currencies of the non-euro geographical areas in which we operate, high inflation, stagflation due to more intense or prolonged supply crises, high interest rates in most of the geographical areas where we operate (which may impact default rates) and low real interest rates in Turkey (which may affect our margins);
•adverse developments in emerging economies, in particular Latin America and Turkey, including unfavorable political and economic developments, social instability and changes in governmental policies, including expropriation, nationalization, exchange controls or other limitations on the distribution or repatriation of dividends, international ownership legislation, tax policies, interest rate caps, fee caps and other policies affecting the banking sector, including the “liraization” strategy in Turkey (which seeks to increase the weight of Turkish lira-denominated assets and liabilities of the banking system). Further, emerging economies generally face higher anti-money laundering and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) risk levels;
•in Spain, political, regulatory and economic uncertainty may have a negative impact on economic activity, and there is a risk that public policies could be adopted that have an adverse impact on the economy or our business;
•downgrades in our credit ratings or in sovereign credit ratings, particularly Spain’s, Mexico’s and Turkey’s respective credit ratings;
2
•the monetary, interest rate and other policies of central banks, and the trade, economic and other policies of governments, in the EU, Spain, Mexico, Turkey, the United States and elsewhere, including the impact of the still-prevailing high interest rates and the escalation of trade tariffs globally on the Group’s results of operations (including potential mark-to-market losses on securities portfolios, reduced demand for credit, increased funding costs and higher default rates). Moreover, any interest rate reductions may result in higher inflation and adversely affect the Group’s results of operations;
•adjustments in the real estate markets in the geographical areas in which we operate, in particular in Spain, Mexico and Turkey;
•the success of our acquisitions and investments, divestitures, mergers, joint ventures and strategic alliances;
•BBVA’s ability to complete the Exchange Offer (as defined herein) for all of the shares of Banco de Sabadell, S.A., and any unanticipated costs, losses or other impacts in connection therewith; see “Other Matters—Exchange Offer regarding Banco Sabadell”;
•the effects of competition in the markets in which we operate and the rise of neobanks (a new generation of financial institutions that operate exclusively online), which may be affected by regulation or deregulation affecting us or our competitors, and our ability to manage information technology obsolescence, implement technological advances on a timely basis or at all and effectively capture the benefits of emerging technologies, including cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data analysis, crypto currencies and alternative payment systems;
•our ability to comply with various legal and regulatory regimes and the impact of applicable laws and regulations on our operations, including capital, resolution, liquidity, provision and consumer protection requirements, and the increasing tax burden;
•changes in consumer spending and savings habits, including changes in government policies which may influence spending, saving and investment decisions;
•our ability to continue to access sources of liquidity and funding, including public sources of liquidity such as the funding provided by the European Central Bank (“ECB”) under its programs, and our ability to receive dividends and other funds from our subsidiaries;
•the effectiveness of our debt recovery policy, including our ability to recover aged non-performing loans;
•our ability to hedge certain risks economically, including exchange rate risk;
•our ability to address physical, regulatory, reputational, transition and business risks associated with climate change and emerging and developing ESG standards, including our ability to meet any ESG expectations, targets or obligations and the cost thereof;
•our ability to make payments on certain substantial unfunded amounts relating to commitments with personnel;
•the performance of our international operations and our ability to manage such operations;
•weaknesses or failures in the Group’s internal or outsourced processes, systems (including information technology systems) and security;
•weaknesses or failures of our anti-money laundering or anti-terrorism programs, or of our internal policies, procedures, systems and other mitigating measures designed to ensure compliance with applicable anti-corruption laws and sanctions regulations;
•security breaches, including cyber-attacks and identity theft;
•the outcome of legal and regulatory actions and proceedings, both those to which the Group is currently exposed and any others which may arise in the future, including actions and proceedings related to former subsidiaries of the Group or in respect of which the Group may have indemnification obligations, as well as legal and regulatory actions and proceedings against other financial institutions, especially if such actions or proceedings result in rulings that affect the industry generally or lead to changes in the Group’s practices;
•actions that are incompatible with our ethics and compliance standards, and our failure to timely detect or remedy any such actions;
3
•our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing, which depends, among other things, on the adequacy of our internal risk models and our ability to anticipate events that are not captured or fully accounted for in the models we use or which otherwise requires us to successfully adjust our risk parameters, risk appetite framework and estimations to account for the foregoing and any changes in market conditions; and
•force majeure and other events beyond our control.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, including, without limitation, changes in our business, strategy, targets or expectations, including as a result of the occurrence of unanticipated events.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Under Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 19, 2002, all companies governed by the law of an EU Member State and whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market of any Member State must prepare their consolidated financial statements for the years beginning on or after January 1, 2005 in conformity with EU-IFRS. The Bank of Spain issued Circular 4/2017 of November 27, 2017 (“Circular 4/2017”), on Public and Confidential Financial Reporting Rules and Formats, which requires Spanish credit institutions to adapt their accounting system to the principles derived from the adoption of EU-IFRS.
There are no differences between EU-IFRS required to be applied under the Bank of Spain’s Circular 4/2017 and IFRS-IASB as of the dates and for the periods presented in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. The Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) as issued by the IASB and adopted by the EU.
For a description of our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Policies” in the 2024 Form 20-F and Note 2.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The financial information as of December 31, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included herein and in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements may differ from previously reported financial information as of such date and for such period in previously filed reports as a result of certain intra-group adjustments referred to in the section “—Changes in Intra-Group Adjustments” herein.
We consider certain of our critical accounting policies to be particularly important due to their effect on the financial reporting of our financial condition and results of operations and because they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Our reported financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The nature of critical accounting policies, the judgments and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For information on the estimates made by the Group in preparing the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statement, see Note 1.4 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
Hyperinflationary Economies
The Turkish, Argentine and Venezuelan economies have been considered hyperinflationary, as defined by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”, since 2022, 2018 and 2008, respectively. All the components of the financial statements (including income statement items) of entities located in such countries1 (in each case, for any period in which the relevant economy was considered to be hyperinflationary) have been converted at the relevant period-end exchange rate for inclusion in the consolidated financial statements, and the resulting conversion differences have been recorded within “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in accordance with IAS 21 “Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”.
See Note 2.2.18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the application of IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” and IAS 21 “Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” to hyperinflationary economies.
Changes in Intra-Group Adjustments
Following the publication of the Consolidated Financial Statements, certain immaterial balance sheet amounts related to specific activities undertaken by the business units were reallocated between the operating segments and the Corporate Center. As a result, certain expenses were reallocated, in particular, between Spain, Rest of Business and the Corporate Center. In order to make the segment information as of December 31, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included herein comparable with the segment information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, segment information as of December 31, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included herein has been revised in conformity with these intra-group adjustments. These intra-group adjustments had no impact at the consolidated level.
See Note 5 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our operating segments.
1 With respect to Turkey, IAS 29 does not apply to the operations outside Turkey of the Türkiye Garanti Bankası A.Ş. group of companies, and in particular to the financial statements of Garanti Bank S.A. in Romania and GarantiBank BBVA International N.V. in the Netherlands.

Share Buyback Program
The Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of BBVA held on March 21, 2025 approved, under item 1.3 of the Agenda, a cash distribution against the 2024 results as a final dividend for the 2024 fiscal year, for an amount equal to €0.41 (€0.3321 net of withholding tax) per outstanding BBVA share entitled to participate in this distribution, which was paid on April 10, 2025. The total amount paid, excluding treasury shares held by the Group’s companies, amounted to approximately €2,360 million.
Additionally, on January 30, 2025, BBVA announced a share repurchase program for an amount of €993 million, which is pending execution in its entirety as of the date of this report.
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 six-month period. We do not believe that such monthly averages present trends that are materially different from those that would be presented by daily averages.
•Unless otherwise stated, any reference to loans refers to both loans and advances.
•Financial information with respect to segments or subsidiaries may not reflect consolidation adjustments.
•Certain numerical information in this report on Form 6-K may not compute due to rounding. In addition, information regarding period-to-period changes is based on numbers which have not been rounded.
•Information has not been annualized except where explicitly stated.

Item 4B. Business Overview
The BBVA Group is a customer-centric global financial services group founded in 1857. Internationally diversified and with strengths in the traditional banking businesses of retail banking, asset management and wholesale banking, the Group is committed to offering a compelling digital proposition focused on customer experience.
For this purpose, the Group is focused on increasingly offering products online and through mobile channels, improving the functionality of its digital offerings and refining customer experience, contributing to the delivery of its strategy in a sustainable and inclusive way. BBVA places sustainability at the core of its strategy. Sustainability is impacting the banking business, affecting not only relations with customers but also internal processes.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the number of digital and mobile phone customers and the volume of online transactions continued to increase.
Operating Segments
As of June 30, 2025, the structure of the operating segments used by the BBVA Group for management purposes remained the same as in 2024.
Set forth below are the Group’s current five operating segments:
• Spain;
• Mexico;
• Turkey;
• South America; and
• Rest of Business.
In addition to the operating segments referred to above, the Group has a Corporate Center which includes those items that have not been allocated to an operating segment. It includes the Group’s general management functions, including costs from central units that have a corporate function; management of structural exchange rate positions carried out by the Assets & Liabilities Management unit (“ALCO”), including currency hedging; certain proprietary portfolios; certain tax assets and liabilities; certain provisions related to commitments with employees; and goodwill and other intangibles, as well as the financing of such asset portfolios. It also includes the results of the Group’s stake in the venture capital fund Propel Venture Partners.
Following the publication of the Consolidated Financial Statements, certain immaterial balance sheet amounts related to specific activities undertaken by the business units were reallocated between the operating segments and the Corporate Center. As a result, certain expenses were reallocated, in particular, between Spain, Rest of Business and the Corporate Center. In order to make the segment information as of December 31, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included herein comparable with the segment information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, segment information as of December 31, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included herein has been revised in conformity with these intra-group adjustments. These intra-group adjustments had no impact at the consolidated level.
The breakdown of the Group’s total assets by each of BBVA’s operating segments and the Corporate Center as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was as follows:
| As of June 30, 2025 | As of December 31, 2024 | |||||||

Spain
This operating segment includes all of BBVA’s banking and non-banking businesses in Spain, other than those included in the Corporate Center. The primary business units included in this operating segment are:
•Spanish Retail Network: including individual customers, private banking, small companies and businesses in the domestic market;
•Corporate and Business Banking: which manages small and medium sized enterprises (“SMEs”), companies and corporations, and public institutions;
•Corporate and Investment Banking: responsible for business with large corporations and multinational groups and the trading floor and distribution business in Spain; and
•Other units: which includes the insurance business unit in Spain (BBVA Seguros) as well as the Group’s shareholding in Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros, S.A., the Asset Management unit (which manages Spanish mutual funds and pension funds), lending to real estate developers and foreclosed real estate assets in Spain, as well as certain proprietary portfolios and certain funding and structural interest-rate positions of the euro balance sheet which are not included in the Corporate Center.
Cash, cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits amounted to €7,744 million as of June 30, 2025, a 39.2% decrease compared with the €12,734 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly driven by decreases in cash held at the ECB, mainly due to the use of cash to make additional purchases of Spanish sovereign debt and other debt issuances, and increased lending activity, which was higher than the increase in deposits.
Financial assets at fair value of this operating segment (which includes the following portfolios: “Financial assets held for trading”, “Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss”, “Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss” and “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”) amounted to €107,499 million as of June 30, 2025, a 1.9% decrease from the €109,569 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of the decrease in derivatives recorded under “Financial assets held for trading”, in the context of a falling interest rate environment, partially offset by the increase in Spanish sovereign debt securities.
Financial assets at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €253,008 million, a 6.6% increase compared with the €237,279 million recorded as of December 31, 2024. Within this heading, loans and advances to customers amounted to €188,584 million as of June 30, 2025, a 5.0% increase compared with the €179,667 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to increases in corporate loans, loans to the public sector and consumer loans. Loans to the public sector increased due in part to the recognition of an asset under the “Financial assets at amortized cost - Government” line item in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, as a result of the split payment corresponding to the new tax on the interest margin and commissions of certain financial entities (the “Interest Margin and Commission Tax”) for the year ended December 31, 2024, given that such payment was made but considered undue with respect to such year under the existing legal framework as of June 30, 2025 (see Note 13.1 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements). Also within “Financial assets at amortized cost”, debt securities of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €48,471 million, a 13.3% increase compared with the €42,791 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of an increase in Spanish sovereign debt securities.
Financial liabilities held for trading and designated at fair value through profit or loss of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €74,975 million, a 0.2% decrease compared with the €75,143 million recorded as of December 31, 2024.
Customer deposits at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €230,120 million, a 1.6% increase compared with the €226,391 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the increase in deposits from public institutions (through repurchase agreements) and credit institutions.
Off-balance sheet funds of this operating segment (which includes “Mutual funds” (including customers’ portfolios) and “Pension funds”) as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €112,655 million, a 3.6% increase compared with the €108,694 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to increases in mutual funds.
10
This operating segment’s non-performing loan ratio (defined as non-performing loans divided by total credit risk and calculated as the sum of impaired loans and advances to customers, impaired guarantees to customers and other impaired commitments divided by the sum of loans and advances to customers, guarantees to customers and other commitments) decreased to 3.5% as of June 30, 2025 from 3.7% as of December 31, 2024. This ratio was positively affected by increases in corporate loans, loans to the public sector and consumer loans, increasing the overall loans and advances to customers in the ratio’s denominator. This operating segment’s non-performing loan coverage ratio (defined as allowance for credit losses divided by non-performing loans and calculated as loss allowances on loans and advances divided by the sum of impaired loans and advances to customers, impaired guarantees to customers and other impaired commitments) was 61% as of June 30, 2025 and 59% as of December 31, 2024 as a result, in part, of a decrease in non-performing loans in the mortgage portfolio, whose coverage ratio exceeds the average of the loan portfolio overall.
Mexico
The Mexico operating segment includes the banking, insurance and asset management business conducted in Mexico by BBVA Mexico. It also includes BBVA Mexico’s agency in Houston.
The Mexican peso depreciated 2.4% against the euro as of June 30, 2025 compared with December 31, 2024, negatively affecting the business activity of the Mexico operating segment as of June 30, 2025 expressed in euros. See “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―Trends in Exchange Rates”.
Cash, cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits amounted to €10,672 million as of June 30, 2025, a 15.1% decrease compared with the €12,564 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly driven by the reduction of repurchase agreements and the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro, partially offset by the increase in customer deposits and higher volumes of long-term debt.
Financial assets at fair value of this operating segment (which includes the following portfolios: “Financial assets held for trading”, “Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss”, “Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss” and “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”) as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €53,117 million, a 2.6% decrease from the €54,547 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro.
Financial assets at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €95,453 million, a 0.9% increase compared with the €94,595 million recorded as of December 31, 2024. Within this heading, loans and advances to customers of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €88,758 million, compared with the €88,725 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to increases in the volume of mortgage and consumer loans within the retail loan portfolio, partially offset by the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro.
Financial liabilities held for trading and designated at fair value through profit or loss of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €28,262 million, an 8.5% decrease compared with the €30,885 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of the decrease in deposits from the Mexican Central Bank (through repurchase agreements) recorded under “Financial liabilities held for trading” and, to a lesser extent, the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro.
Customer deposits at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €85,537 million, a 0.7% increase compared with the €84,949 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to increases in demand deposits from public institutions (which bear a lower cost for BBVA than time deposits), partially offset by the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro.
Off-balance sheet funds of this operating segment (which includes “Mutual funds” (including customers’ portfolios) and “Other placements”) as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €61,736 million, a 7.8% increase compared with the €57,253 million as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of the continuing search by customers for higher-return investments, which continued to boost mutual funds, partially offset by the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro.
This operating segment’s non-performing loan ratio (as defined herein) was 2.7% as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. This operating segment’s non-performing loan coverage ratio (as defined herein) increased to 125% as of June 30, 2025 from 121% as of December 31, 2024 mainly due to higher requirements in the retail portfolio as a result of the increase in coverage requirements resulting from changes in the macroeconomic outlook.

Turkey
This operating segment comprises the activities carried out by Garanti BBVA as an integrated financial services group operating in the banking, insurance and asset management business in Turkey, including corporate, commercial, SME, payment systems, retail, private and investment banking, together with its subsidiaries in pension and life insurance, leasing, factoring, brokerage and asset management, as well as its international subsidiaries in Romania and the Netherlands.
The Turkish lira depreciated 21.1% against the euro as of June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024, adversely affecting the business activity of the Turkey operating segment as of June 30, 2025 expressed in euros. See “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―Trends in Exchange Rates”.
Since the first half of 2022, the Turkish economy has been considered to be hyperinflationary as defined by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”. See “Presentation of Financial Information—Hyperinflationary Economies” for information on the impact of hyperinflation accounting.
BBVA’s operations in Turkey are subject to substantial regulation by Turkish national authorities. See “Other Matters—Regulatory Update for Turkey” for summarized information on certain recent changes to regulations that are relevant to our operations.
Cash, cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits amounted to €9,501 million as of June 30, 2025, a 7.6% increase compared with the €8,828 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the increase in customer deposits, both in Turkish-lira and foreign currency, and increases in long-term debt, partially offset by the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro. In addition, the Central Bank of Turkey increased the reserve requirement ratios with respect to deposits for Turkish banks in the first half of 2025.
Financial assets at fair value of this operating segment (which includes the following portfolios: “Financial assets held for trading”, “Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss”, “Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss” and “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”) as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €4,560 million, a 1.3% increase from the €4,503 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the increase in local currency-denominated debt securities, whose valuation increased supported by the decrease in interest reference rates during the six months ended June 30, 2025, offset, to a great extent, by the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro.
Financial assets at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €64,147 million, a 1.1% decrease compared with the €64,893 million recorded as of December 31, 2024.

In addition, within this heading, debt securities of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €6,160 million, a 16.9% decrease compared with the €7,417 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro, partially offset by increases in the volume of local currency-denominated bonds as part of our liquidity management measures. Further, loans and advances to central banks increased in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as a result of increases in the volume of Turkish lira deposits and the continued existence of reserve ratio requirements in Turkish lira deposits established by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (“CBRT”), which were set at 8.0% as of February 2024 and reduced in September 2024 (5.0%), November 2024 (4.0%) and June 2025 (2.5%). See “Other Matters—Regulatory Update for Turkey”.
Financial liabilities held for trading and designated at fair value through profit or loss of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €1,719 million, an 11.6% decrease compared with the €1,943 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro, partially offset by an increase in debt securities.
Customer deposits at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €58,250 million, a 0.3% increase compared with the €58,095 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the increase in Turkish lira-denominated time deposits and, to a lesser extent, U.S. dollar-denominated time deposits, partially offset by the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro.
12
Off-balance sheet funds of this operating segment (which includes “Mutual funds” and “Pension funds”) as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €20,323 million, a 12.4% increase compared with the €18,076 million as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to increases in mutual funds as a result of the shift towards higher-return investments, partially offset by the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro.
The non-performing loan ratio (as defined herein) of this operating segment increased to 3.4% as of June 30, 2025 from 3.1% as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of the increase in the balance of non-performing retail loans (mainly credit card and consumer loans), due, in part, to higher impairment requirements in the wholesale portfolio and the increase in consumer and credit card loans, partially offset by the sale of non-performing loan portfolios and certain recoveries from the wholesale loan portfolios. This operating segment’s non-performing loan coverage ratio (as defined herein) decreased to 86% as of June 30, 2025 from 96% as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to new Stage 3 entries.

Overall, changes in exchange rates resulted in a negative exchange rate effect on the business activity of the South America operating segment as of June 30, 2025 expressed in euros. See “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―Trends in Exchange Rates”.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Argentine and Venezuelan economies were considered to be hyperinflationary as defined by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”. See Note 2.2.18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the application of IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” to hyperinflationary economies.
Cash, cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €6,582 million, a 26.1% decrease compared with the €8,906 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the credit gap widening in the region, decreases in repurchase agreements in Colombia and Peru and the depreciation of the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol and the Colombian peso against the euro.
Financial assets at fair value for this operating segment (which includes the following portfolios: “Financial assets held for trading”, “Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss”, “Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss” and “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”) as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €10,756 million, a 1.2% decrease compared with the €10,884 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the depreciation of the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol and the Colombian peso against the euro, partially offset by the increase of debt securities in Argentina.
Financial assets at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €49,666 million, a 0.6% decrease compared with the €49,983 million recorded as of December 31, 2024. Within this heading, loans and advances to customers of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €46,501 million, a 0.7% decrease compared with the €46,846 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol and the Colombian peso against the euro and decreases in commercial loans in Peru, partially offset by the increase in loans to enterprises and households in Argentina.
Financial liabilities held for trading and designated at fair value through profit or loss of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €1,822 million, an 11.5% decrease compared with the €2,060 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the decrease in deposits recorded as “Financial liabilities held for trading” in Colombia, as a result, in part, of a gradual reduction in interest rates, which may have led investors to shift their funds toward higher-yielding financial instruments, a decrease in repurchase agreements in Colombia and the depreciation of the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol and the Colombian peso against the euro.
13
Customer deposits at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €48,464 million, a 4.5% decrease compared with the €50,738 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of the depreciation of each of the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol and the Colombian peso against the euro, partially offset by an increase in time deposits, particularly in Argentina within the context of a high interest rate environment (although central banks in South America have started to reduce interest reference rates).
Off-balance sheet funds of this operating segment (which includes “Mutual funds”, including customers’ portfolios in Colombia and Peru) as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €7,830 million, a 1.3% decrease compared with the €7,936 million as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to depreciation of the Argentine peso, the Peruvian sol and the Colombian peso against the euro, partially offset by increases in mutual funds in Argentina as a result of the shift towards higher-return investments.
The non-performing loan ratio (as defined herein) of this operating segment decreased to 4.2% as of June 30, 2025 from 4.5% as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of the decrease in non-performing loans in the retail portfolios, with lower entries and a high volume of write-offs in Peru and Colombia. This operating segment’s non-performing loan coverage ratio (as defined herein) increased to 89% as of June 30, 2025, from 88% as of December 31, 2024.
Rest of Business
This operating segment mainly includes the wholesale activity carried out by the Group in Europe (excluding Spain), the United States and (through BBVA branches located therein) Asia.
The U.S. dollar depreciated 11.4% against the euro as of June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024, adversely affecting the business activity of the Rest of Business operating segment as of June 30, 2025 expressed in euros.

Cash, cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €5,872 million, a 29.7% decrease compared with the €8,348 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the decrease in cash balances held at central banks within this operating segment, in particular, at the Federal Reserve System (“Fed”), due in part to lower interest rates in the United States, supporting the shift towards liquid trading assets, which typically offer higher short-term yields, the increased volume of loans granted, and the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro.
Financial assets at fair value for this operating segment (which includes the following portfolios: “Financial assets held for trading”, “Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss”, “Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss” and “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”) as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €1,720 million, a 5.7% increase compared with the €1,627 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the increase in loans and advances (through reverse repurchase agreements) recorded under “Financial assets held for trading” in BBVA Securities Inc., our broker-dealer in the United States, partially offset by the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro.
14
Financial assets at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €61,908 million, a 10.5% increase compared with the €56,013 million recorded as of December 31, 2024.

Customer deposits at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €26,033 million, a 5.1% decrease compared with the €27,432 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro and time deposits in the New York branch, partially offset by the increase in demand deposits in the branches located in Europe.

Item 4E. Selected Statistical Information
The following is a presentation of selected statistical information for the periods indicated. Where required under subpart 1400 of Regulation S-K, we have provided such selected statistical information separately for our domestic and foreign activities, pursuant to our determination, where applicable, that our foreign operations are significant according to Rule 9-05 of Regulation S-X. The allocation of assets and liabilities is based on the domicile of the Group entity at which the relevant asset or liability is accounted for. Domestic balances are those of Group entities domiciled in Spain, which reflect our domestic activities, and international balances are those of the Group entities domiciled outside of Spain, which reflect our foreign activities.
Interest income figures, when used, do not include interest income on non-accruing loans to the extent that cash payments have been received, as a result of the application of the interpretation issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) in its “IFRIC Update” of March 2019 regarding the collection of interest on impaired financial assets under IFRS 9 (Collection of interest on impaired financial assets). Loan fees are included in the computation of interest revenue. Interest and other income figures include “other income”, which amounted to €128 million and €120 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For additional information on “interest and other income” see Note 32.1 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Average Balances and Rates
The tables below set forth selected statistical information on our average balance sheets, which are based on the beginning and month-end balances in each period. We do not believe that monthly averages present trends materially different from those that would be presented by daily averages. We have not recalculated tax-exempt income on a tax-equivalent basis because the effect of doing so would not be significant. Average yields and rate paid for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 presented in this section have been annualized.

Changes in Net Interest Income - Volume and Rate Analysis
The following tables allocate changes in our net interest income between changes in volume and changes in rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2024. 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 such table are interest payments on loans which are made in a period other than the period in which they are due.

ASSETS
Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks
As of June 30, 2025, interbank deposits (excluding deposits with central banks) (which are recorded under “Loans and advances to credit institutions” in the “Financial assets held for trading”, “Financial assets at amortized cost” and “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” portfolios) represented 5.1% of our total assets (compared to 5.7% of our total assets as of December 31, 2024). Of such interbank deposits, 17.1% were held outside of Spain and 82.9% 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. However, such deposits are subject to the risk that the deposit banks may fail or that such banks 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, 2025, our total securities portfolio (consisting of investment securities and loans and advances recorded under “Financial assets held for trading” and “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” portfolios) was carried on our consolidated balance sheet at a carrying amount (equivalent to its market or appraised value as of such date) of €131,139 million, representing 16.9% of our total assets, a 0.6% decrease compared to our total securities portfolio as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the depreciation against the euro of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates (in terms of period-end exchange rates), partially offset by increases in debt securities in Spanish sovereign debt and in local currency-denominated debt securities in Turkey. €15,633 million, or 11.9% of our securities portfolio as of June 30, 2025 consisted of Spanish Treasury bonds and Treasury bills. The average yield during the six months ended June 30, 2025 on the investment securities that BBVA held was 6.2%, compared with an average yield of approximately 4.8% earned on loans and advances in the portfolios “Financial assets held for trading” and “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” during the six months ended June 30, 2025. See Notes 9 and 12.1 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The tables in Note 7.1 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements set forth the fair value and the book value of our debt securities and equity instruments recorded under “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The tables in Note 7.2 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements set forth the fair value and the book value of our debt securities recorded under “Financial assets at amortized cost” as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. This information is not provided for debt securities recorded under “Financial assets held for trading”, “Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss” and “Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss” since the amortized costs and fair values of these items are the same. See Note 7 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans and Advances
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 March 31, 2025 (which is the latest available information) excluding government-related loans amounted to €7,317 million or approximately 1.6% of our total outstanding loans and advances to customers.
Loans and Advances to Customers
As of June 30, 2025, our total loans and advances to customers amounted to €460,833 million, or 59.3% of total assets. Net of our loss allowances, total loans and advances to customers amounted to €449,211 million as of June 30, 2025, or 57.8% of our total assets, an increase from 55.6% of our total assets as of December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, our total loans and advances to customers in Spain amounted to €184,010 million, up from €174,854 million as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to increases in corporate loans, loans to the public sector and consumer loans. Loans to the public sector increased due in part to the recognition of an asset under the “Financial assets at amortized cost - Government” line item in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2025, as a result of the split payment corresponding to the new Interest Margin and Commission Tax for the year ended December 31, 2024, given that such payment was made but considered undue with respect to such year under the existing legal framework as of June 30, 2025 (see Note 13.1 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements). Our total loans and advances to customers outside Spain amounted to €276,823 million as of June 30, 2025, up from €266,288 million as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the increase in Turkish lira-denominated consumer and credit card loans, due, in part, to the measures adopted by the Turkish authorities (e.g., the lessening of loan reserve requirements) to encourage Turkish lira-denominated loans, increased activity in the branches located in New York and Europe within the Rest of Business segment, the increase in loans to enterprises and households in Argentina and, to a lesser extent, increases in the volume of mortgage and consumer loans in Mexico, partially offset by the depreciation against the euro of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates (in terms of period-end exchange rates).

Loans and Advances to Credit Institutions and Central Banks
As of June 30, 2025, our total loans and advances to credit institutions and central banks amounted to €49,389 million, or 6.4% of total assets (compared to €52,467 million, or 6.8% of total assets as of December 31, 2024), of which total loans and advances to credit institutions and central banks at amortized cost amounted to €33,075 million, or 4.3% of total assets. Loans and advances to credit institutions as of June 30, 2025 decreased by 8.9% compared to December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of the decrease in loans to credit institutions (through reverse repurchase agreements) in Spain.
Loans and Advances to Spanish Government and its Agencies
Loans and advances outstanding to the Spanish government and its agencies amounted to €14,886 million, or 3.4% of our total loans and advances to customers as of June 30, 2025, compared with the €12,001 million, or 2.8% of our total loans and advances to customers as of December 31, 2024, in each case, excluding loans to companies controlled by the Spanish government.
Loans to Associates and Jointly Controlled Companies
As of June 30, 2025, total loans and advances by BBVA and its subsidiaries to associates and jointly controlled companies amounted to €562 million, compared with €639 million as of December 31, 2024.

(1) Annualized.
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.
Our total net charge-offs to average loans at amortized cost ratio amounted to 0.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with 0.87% for the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of increases in charge-offs in Mexico and Spain. The increase was partially offset by decreases in charge-offs in Colombia and Peru. The following factors, set out by region, were the main contributors to the increase in the ratio:
• Mexico: there was an increase in the ratio mainly due to an increase in charge-offs in the retail portfolio, mainly in consumer and credit cards loans, which increased at a higher rate than the loan portfolio.
• Spain: there was an increase in the ratio mainly due to an increase in charge-offs in the wholesale portfolio, and to a lesser extent, the consumer loan portfolio.
The increase in the total net charge-offs to average loans ratio was partially offset by:
25
• South America: there was a decrease in the ratio due to an increase in the size of loans to enterprises and households, mainly in Argentina, and a decrease in charge-offs in the retail portfolios in Colombia and Peru.
Our allowance for credit losses to total loans and advances at amortized cost decreased to 2.47% as of June 30, 2025 compared with 2.56% as of December 31, 2024, mainly as a result of the increase in total loans outstanding, in particular, increases in corporate loans, loans to the public sector and consumer loans in Spain and increased activity in the branches located in New York and Europe within the Rest of Business segment, which activity was related mainly to Stage 1 loans to public institutions.
Impaired Loans
Loans are considered to be credit-impaired under IFRS 9 if one or more events have occurred and they have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the loan.
Amounts collected in relation to impaired financial assets at amortized cost are first applied to the outstanding interest and any excess amount is used to reduce the unpaid principal. The approximate amount of interest on our impaired loans which was included in profit attributable to parent company for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was €265 million and €209 million, respectively.
The following table provides information regarding our impaired loans to customers, central banks and credit institutions as of the dates indicated:

Our total impaired loans amounted to €14,131 million as of June 30, 2025, a 0.6% decrease compared with €14,213 million as of December 31, 2024.
Our allowance for credit losses includes loss reserve for impaired assets and loss reserve for unimpaired assets which present an expected credit loss. As of June 30, 2025, the allowance for credit losses amounted to €11,645 million, a 0.1% increase compared with the €11,630 million recorded as of December 31, 2024.

The principal components of our customer deposits recorded under “Financial liabilities at amortized cost” are domestic demand and time deposits and foreign demand and time deposits. The following tables provide information regarding the average amount of the following deposit categories recorded under “Financial liabilities at amortized cost” for the periods indicated:

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 and changes in perceptions of the credit or liquidity profile of the Bank. For additional information on our deposits recorded under “Financial liabilities at amortized cost”, see Note 21 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain Ratios
The following table sets out certain ratios as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024:

(1)Represents net interest income (annualized with respect to the six months ended June 30, 2025) as a percentage of average total assets.
(2)Represents average total equity (net assets) over average total assets.
EQUITY
The majority of the balance not explained in the subsections below is related to the conversion to euros of the financial statements balances from consolidated entities whose functional currency is not the euro.
Total equity
As of June 30, 2025, total equity amounted to €60,887 million, a 1.5% increase compared to the €60,014 million recorded as of December 31, 2024.
Shareholders’ funds
As of June 30, 2025, shareholders’ funds amounted to €75,724 million, a 3.9% increase compared to the €72,875 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the profit attributable to owners of the parent in the period.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
27
As of June 30, 2025, the accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to €18,896 million, a 9.7% increase compared to the €17,220 million loss recorded as of December 31, 2024 mainly as a result of changes in foreign currency translation in the period, due to cumulative adjustments from the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, which reflect the exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.
Non-controlling interest
As of June 30, 2025, non-controlling interest amounted to €4,059 million, a 6.9% decrease compared to €4,359 million recorded as of December 31, 2024, mainly due to the lower operating profit before tax recorded in Turkey and Argentina for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Item 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
Critical Accounting Policies
For a description of our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2024 Form 20-F and Note 2.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
We consider certain of our critical accounting policies to be particularly important due to their effect on the financial reporting of our financial condition and results of operations and because they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Our reported financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The nature of critical accounting policies, the judgments and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For information on the estimates made by the Group in preparing the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statement, see Note 1.5 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
See Note 6.2.3 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the measurement of expected credit loss.

Item 5A. Operating Results
Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Set forth below are the main factors that affect the comparability of the Group’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and the Group’s financial condition as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In addition to the factors referred to below, the future comparability of the Group’s results of operations and financial condition may be significantly affected by, among other factors, the completion of the Exchange Offer. See “Other Matters—Exchange Offer regarding Banco Sabadell”.
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 and investees have different functional and accounting currencies, principally the Mexican peso, Turkish lira, Argentine peso, Colombian peso, Peruvian sol and U.S. dollar. For example, if these currencies 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. By contrast, the appreciation of these currencies 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. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may limit the ability of our results of operations, stated in euro, to fully show the performance in local currency terms of our subsidiaries.
Except with respect to hyperinflationary economies, where all the components of the financial statements (including income statement items) of the relevant subsidiaries (in each case, for any period in which the economy was considered to be hyperinflationary) are converted at the period-end exchange rate, 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 the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, and income statement items have been converted at the average exchange rates for the period. See Note 2.2.18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the application of IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”. The following table sets forth the exchange rates of the currencies of the main non-euro regions where we operate against the euro, expressed in local currency per €1.00 as averages for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, and as period-end exchange rates as of June 30, 2025 and as of December 31, 2024 according to the ECB.

(1)The period-end exchange rate as of June 30, 2024 of the Turkish lira and the Argentine peso against the euro was 35.1868 and 975.8499, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Mexican peso, the Colombian peso and, to a significantly less extent, the U.S. dollar depreciated against the euro in average terms compared with the same period of the prior year. On the other hand, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Peruvian sol appreciated against the euro in average terms compared with the same period of the prior year.
In terms of period-end exchange rates, the Argentine peso, the Turkish lira, the U.S. dollar, the Peruvian sol, the Colombian peso and, to a significantly less extent, the Mexican peso depreciated against the euro compared with the exchange rates as of December 31, 2024.
The overall effect of changes in exchange rates was negative for the period-on-period comparison of the Group’s income statement (mainly due to the depreciation of the period-end exchange rates of the Argentine peso and the Turkish lira used to convert income statement items pursuant to IAS 21, and the depreciation of the Mexican peso) and balance sheet (mainly due to the depreciation of the Argentine peso and the Turkish lira).
30
When comparing two dates or periods in this report on Form 6-K we have sometimes excluded, where specifically indicated, the impact of changes in exchange rates by assuming constant exchange rates. In doing this, with respect to income statement amounts, we have used the average exchange rate for the more recent period for both periods (except with respect to hyperinflationary economies, where we have used the period-end exchange rate of the more recent period for both periods) and, with respect to balance sheet amounts, we have used the period-end exchange rate of the more recent period for both period ends.

Macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions
The Group is sensitive to economic conditions and the institutional environment of the countries in which it operates, and the Group is exposed to sovereign debt especially in Spain, Mexico and Turkey.
The global economy is undergoing significant changes due to, among other reasons, the policies of the U.S. administration. Uncertainty surrounding their consequences is exceptionally high, substantially increasing geopolitical, economic and financial risks.
The recent significant increase in U.S. tariffs on imports has triggered financial market volatility, reinforcing global-wide risks. The level and duration of these tariffs, and uncertainty in connection therewith, could negatively impact the world economy, worsening the prospects for the macroeconomic environment. As a result of adopted or announced tariffs, global growth could decelerate significantly.
While fiscal stimulus and monetary easing measures could partially offset the impact of trade protectionism, particularly in the Eurozone, where significant public spending increases have been announced, the impact of higher U.S. tariffs could be amplified by the adoption of retaliatory measures by other countries, sustained uncertainty, weakening confidence levels and financial volatility, among other factors.
Increased tariffs also raise the risk of inflation in the United States, which has contributed to the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged in recent months and limited the scope for rate cuts in 2025. In the Eurozone, limited inflationary pressures have allowed the ECB to reduce the deposit facility rate to 2.0% in June 2025.
Beyond higher import tariffs, tighter U.S. controls on migration flows could also affect the labor market, add to inflationary pressures and weigh on economic growth. The U.S. administration’s fiscal, regulatory, industrial and foreign policies, among others, could likewise contribute to financial and macroeconomic volatility.
Amid heightened uncertainty over U.S. policies and large fiscal deficits, the U.S. risk premium has recently increased, pushing up long-term sovereign yields and weakening the U.S. dollar. These developments could also spark episodes of volatility, especially given the high debt levels in both developed and emerging economies.
Rising trade protectionism and the growing U.S.-China rivalry could further heighten geopolitical tensions, especially against the backdrop of ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East. In response to these risks and the changes in the foreign policy of the U.S. administration, the European Union has adopted measures to increase military spending, which could support growth, while also adding to upward pressures on inflation and interest rates in the region.
Overall, rising global geopolitical tensions increase uncertainty around the outlook for the world economy and the likelihood of economic and financial disruptions, including an economic recession.
The Group is exposed, among others, to the following general risks related to the economic and institutional environment in the countries where it operates: changes in economic activity, including potential recession scenarios; inflationary pressures that could lead to tightening of monetary conditions; stagflation triggered by intense or prolonged supply shocks, including as a result of a protectionist escalation or a sharp rise in oil and gas prices; exchange rate volatility; adverse developments in real estate markets; changes in the institutional environment of the countries where the Group operates, which could lead to sudden and pronounced GDP contractions and/or shifts in regulatory or government policy, including capital controls, dividend restrictions, or the imposition of new taxes or levies; high levels of public debt or external deficits, which could lead to sovereign credit rating downgrades or defaults or debt restructurings; the impact of policies adopted by the current U.S. administration, about which significant uncertainty remains; and episodes of financial market volatility, such as those seen recently, that could result in significant losses for the Group.
In Spain, political, regulatory, and economic conditions may have a negative impact on activity. In Mexico, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the impact of recently approved constitutional and institutional reforms, and the policies of the U.S. administration have already adversely affected the country’s economy and deteriorated its prospects. In Turkey, despite the gradual improvement in macroeconomic conditions, the situation remains relatively unstable, marked by pressure on the Turkish lira, high inflation, a significant trade deficit, relatively low central bank foreign exchange reserves, and high external financing costs. Recent political and social tensions and the geopolitical situation in the Middle East could also trigger new episodes of financial volatility and macroeconomic risks. In Argentina, despite the improved prospects for the economy following significant fiscal, monetary and exchange rate adjustments, the risk of economic and financial turmoil persists. Lastly, in Colombia and Peru, climate-related factors, political tensions, and a deterioration of public finances could weigh on economic performance.
Any of these factors may have a significant adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Operating Environment
The below discussion of BBVA’s operating environment includes the current expectations, estimates and beliefs of BBVA Research, based on internal and third-party sources, with respect to the future evolution of macroeconomic conditions. These expectations, estimates and beliefs are subject to uncertainty, and the actual evolution of macroeconomic conditions could differ materially from any expected evolution described below.
Our results of operations are dependent, to a large extent, on the level of demand for our products and services (primarily loans and deposits but also intermediation of financial products such as sovereign or corporate debt) in the countries in which we operate. Demand for our products and services in those countries is affected by the performance of their respective economies in terms of gross domestic product (“GDP”), as well as prevailing levels of employment, inflation and, particularly, interest rates. Typically, the demand for loans and saving products correlates positively with income, which correlates in turn with GDP, employment and the evolution of corporate earnings. Interest rates have a direct impact on banking results as banking activity mainly relies on the generation of positive interest margins by paying lower interest on liabilities, primarily deposits, than the interest received on assets, primarily loans. However, it should be noted that higher interest rates, all else being equal, also reduce the demand for banking loans and increase the cost of funding and also typically lead to an increase in losses on fixed income securities and higher default rates.
Uncertainty about the global economic outlook remains high, mainly due to the policies of the current U.S. administration. U.S. tariffs have risen significantly, reaching historically high levels. The impact of increased tariffs and uncertainty about their final level remains a persistent source of risk. Trade negotiations between the United States and its main partners continue, and disputes over the legal validity of the tariffs persist. In this context, and given expectations of large fiscal deficits and concerns over the Fed's autonomy, the U.S. risk premium has increased, pushing up long-term sovereign yields and contributing to a depreciation of the U.S. dollar.
While global growth remains relatively resilient, BBVA Research estimates that protectionism and uncertainty will weigh on economic activity. Specifically, it forecasts global GDP growth at 3.0% in 2025.
Growth in the United States is expected to slow from 2.8% in 2024 to around 1.7% in 2025. In China, growth could reach a still healthy 4.8% in 2025, down from 5.0% in 2024, mainly due to recent stimulus measures and smaller-than-expected U.S. tariff increases on Chinese exports. In the Eurozone, the impact of U.S. tariffs is likely to be cushioned by fiscal spending, mainly on defense. Growth is expected to be around 0.9% in 2025, in line with 2024 (0.9%). Tariffs are expected to reverse the disinflation trend in the United States, prompting the Fed to hold rates steady at 4.5% for longer. Monetary easing could resume in late 2025 if price pressures prove transitory.
In the Eurozone, while an additional rate cut is possible in the second half of 2025, the ECB may instead choose to keep interest rates unchanged at 2.0%.
In China, with inflation near zero, monetary conditions are expected to become more accommodative.
Beyond the significant risks related to new U.S. policies, geopolitical risks persist. Although energy prices remain relatively low, tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine could trigger new supply shocks.
In Spain, economic activity remained dynamic in the first half of 2025, and the outlook ahead is relatively positive. Growth is expected to be supported by contained energy prices, a more expansionary policy stance in Europe, stronger growth potential in the services sector boosted by higher immigration and productivity gains, increased investment in construction, and rising defense spending. Nonetheless, BBVA Research expects the expansion to lose momentum, with GDP growth slowing from 3.2% in 2024 to 2.5% in 2025, reflecting factors such as revisions to past growth data, global protectionism, high policy uncertainty, and currency appreciation. Annual inflation remains under control; it reached 2.3% in June 2025 and is expected to stay around 2.0% in the second half of 2025.
In Mexico, economic activity slowed in the first half of the year amid high uncertainty, as the impact of U.S. tariffs added to the effects of recent domestic reforms and the ongoing fiscal consolidation. In this context, BBVA Research has revised its 2025 GDP growth forecast from 1.0% to -0.4%. Even so, the economy is expected to eventually benefit from relatively moderate inflation (4.3% in June 2025 and likely near 3.8% in December 2025), lower interest rates (cut to 8.0% in June 2025 and possibly reaching 7.0% by December 2025) and structural gains from U.S. export tariffs potentially being lower than those applied to China and other competitors.
In Turkey, growth has recently moderated, and this, together with the restrictive stance of monetary policy, has helped bring inflation down further, to 35% in June 2025. BBVA Research maintains its 2025 growth forecast at 3.5% and expects inflation to keep easing, reaching around 30% by December 2025. Monetary conditions, tightened in the second quarter of 2025 to counter financial volatility stemming from recent sociopolitical turbulence, could ease again in the coming months, potentially allowing interest rates to fall from 46% in June 2025 to around 36% by December 2025.
33
In Argentina, the macroeconomic normalization process has continued in recent months. In addition to ongoing fiscal consolidation and tight monetary policy, most foreign exchange controls were recently lifted, and a floating exchange rate regime with wide bands was introduced. While the new foreign exchange scheme has resulted in some depreciation of the Argentine peso, its impact on inflation has been limited. BBVA Research forecasts annual inflation to end 2025 around 28.0%. It also maintains its GDP growth forecast at 5.5% for 2025, following a 1.7% contraction in 2024.
In Colombia, the recovery in economic growth has continued in recent months and is likely to persist going forward. BBVA Research has revised its 2025 GDP growth forecast down mainly due to a less favorable global environment and a slower-than-expected decline in inflation and interest rates. Inflation is expected to ease from levels above 5.0% earlier this year, and 4.8% in June 2025, to around 4.7% by December 2025. Despite the relative persistence of inflation and concerns over fiscal accounts, interest rates could be cut from 9.25% in June 2025 to around 8.25% by December 2025.
In Peru, BBVA Research estimates GDP will grow 3.1% in 2025, the same as its previous forecast and close to the 3.3% growth recorded in 2024. Low inflation (1.7% in June 2025 and estimated to be near 2.0% going forward), low interest rates (expected to remain steady at the current 4.5%), and relatively high copper prices, among other factors, support the growth outlook.

The changes in our unaudited condensed interim consolidated income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with the same period of 2024 were as follows:
Net interest income
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to €12,607 million, a 3.0% decrease compared with the €12,993 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly as a result of:
•the depreciation against the euro, in average terms, of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, except for the Peruvian sol; and
•the lower yield and volume in the public sector loan portfolio in the South America operating segment, particularly in Argentina, driven in part, with respect to the yield, by the decline in the monetary policy rate in Argentina.
The period-on-period decrease was partially offset by:
•the higher volume and yield of Turkish lira-denominated loans, supported—with respect to the volume growth—by the lessening of the loan reserve requirements in Turkey;
•increases in the volume of the mortgage and consumer loan portfolios and lower wholesale funding costs in Mexico; and
•the higher contribution from the securities portfolio and the lower funding costs in the wholesale portfolios in Spain.

Fee and commission income increased by 5.9% to €6,514 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from the €6,149 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the increase in payment systems fees (fees related to credit and debit cards, monetary transactions, including traditional transfers and mobile payments, and points of sale (POS)) supported by the increase in the maximum credit card fees banks may charge in Turkey pursuant to the regulation established by the CBRT in November 2024, the increase in the volume of asset management activities in Turkey, and, to a lesser extent, higher payment systems fees and the fees resulting from an increase in asset management activities in Mexico and the increase in the volume of asset management activities and credit card fees in Spain, partially offset by the depreciation in average terms of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, except for the Peruvian sol.

Fee and commission expense increased by 8.5% to €2,503 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from the €2,307 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the increase in fees paid by the Group to third parties in connection with the increase in payment systems fees in Turkey and, to a lesser extent, higher fees from payment systems in Mexico and the increase in the volume of asset management activities and credit card fees in Spain, partially offset by the depreciation in average terms of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, except for the Peruvian sol.
Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities
Net gains on financial assets and liabilities increased by 4.4% to €1,554 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from the net gain of €1,489 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly due to: (i) higher trading gains in the Global Markets unit in Spain and in the ALCO portfolio in Mexico recorder under “Gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities held for trading, net”; (ii) higher gains in the non-trading portfolio from the revaluation of certain venture capital investments from the Corporate Center recorded under “Gains (losses) on non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss, net” and, to a lesser extent; (iii) the higher gains from the sale of certain securities in Turkey recorded under “Gains (losses) on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss, net - Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”; partially offset by the depreciation in average terms of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, except for the Peruvian sol, and, to a lesser extent, lower gains from the Global Markets unit in Spain recorded under “Gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, net” and lower gains in the trading portfolio from the Global Markets unit in Turkey recorded under “Gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities held for trading, net”.

Exchange differences, net
Exchange differences amounted to a €123 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with a €398 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2024 mainly driven by negative exchange differences in Turkey and the Corporate Center.

Other operating income and other operating expense
Other operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by 13.1% to €351 million from €310 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly due to higher gains from sales of non-financial services in Turkey, partially offset by the depreciation in average terms of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, except for the Peruvian sol.
Other operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to €1,228 million, a 49.1% decrease compared with the €2,415 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly driven by the lower loss on the net monetary position resulting from the adjustment for hyperinflation in Argentina, which resulted in a monetary loss of €211 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the €1,020 million monetary loss recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the lower loss on the net monetary position resulting from the adjustment for hyperinflation in Turkey (€496 million and €894 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively) and, to a lesser extent, the depreciation in average terms of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, except for the Peruvian sol. In addition, the period-on-period decrease was driven in part by the fact that the other operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included the impact of the temporary tax on credit institutions and financial credit establishments in Spain amounting to €285 million (which was paid in 2024), whereas the half year expense related to the Interest Margin and Commission Tax was recorded under “Tax expense or income related to profit or loss from continuing operations” for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The period-on-period decrease was partially offset by the lower positive impact of the revaluation of bonds linked to inflation in the period (€419 million and €704 million, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively) in Turkey.
Income and expense on insurance and reinsurance contracts
Income on insurance and reinsurance contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was €1,866 million, a 3.7% increase compared with the €1,800 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly due to the increase in insurance premiums, attributable in part to the higher insurance sales in Turkey and Mexico, partially offset by the depreciation in average terms of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, except for the Peruvian sol.
Expense on insurance and reinsurance contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was €1,109 million, a 4.1% increase compared with the €1,066 million expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to increased insurance sales, in particular, in Turkey and Mexico.

Administration costs, which include personnel expense and other administrative expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to €6,038 million, a 1.0% decrease compared with the €6,100 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly as a result of the depreciation in average terms of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, except for the Peruvian sol, and the lower expense corresponding to the value added tax in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., following the upward re-estimation of such tax, applied pro-rata in previous periods and in 2025 (see Note 38.2 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements), partially offset by the increase in the number of employees, salary updates and the increase in general expenses (technology and marketing) in Turkey driven to a great extent by the high average inflation rates and the higher general expenses related mainly to IT and marketing in Mexico and Argentina, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was €749 million, a 1.4% decrease compared with the €759 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly due to the depreciation in average terms of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, except for the Peruvian sol.
Provisions or reversal of provisions
Provisions or reversal of provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to an expense of €133 million, compared with the €38 million expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The period-on-period increase was due mainly to higher provisions related to contingent and legal risks in Mexico, partially offset by the depreciation in average terms of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, except for the Peruvian sol. Provisions or reversal of provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was positively affected by the reversal of provisions for certain contingencies in Turkey related to the 2023 earthquakes.
Impairment or reversal of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss or net gains by modification
Impairment or reversal of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss or net gains by modification for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was an expense of €2,761 million, a 2.7% decrease compared with the €2,839 million expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly due to the depreciation in average terms of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, except for the Peruvian sol, lower credit impairment requirements in the retail loan portfolios in Colombia and Peru, higher reversal of impairment in the wholesale portfolio in Turkey and, to a lesser extent, lower credit impairment requirements in the retail loan portfolio in Spain, partially offset by the increase in the expected losses related to the retail portfolio (mainly related to consumer and credit card loans, which volumes increased and also required higher credit impairments) in Turkey, higher credit impairment requirements, in particular, in the retail portfolio as a result of the worsening of the macroeconomic scenario in Mexico, as well as higher credit impairment requirements related to increases in the volume of mortgage and consumer loans in Mexico, and higher credit impairments in the retail loan portfolio in Argentina.

39
Tax expense or income related to profit or loss from continuing operations

Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Markets—Spain—Temporary Tax on Credit Institutions in Spain” in our 2024 Form 20-F), partially offset by an adjustment in the estimate of the annual tax rate for the BBVA Group, which reflects the Group reassessment of the coverage needs for the identified tax risks and certain deferred tax assets corresponding to the Group in Spain, which had not previously been recorded and were first recognized in the current period (see Note 18 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements). Amounts paid by BBVA under the temporary tax on credit institutions and financial credit establishments and the Interest Margin and Commission Tax in Spain are a non-deductible expense for tax purposes.

Net interest income
Net interest income of this operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to €1,307 million compared with the €605 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as a result mainly of the higher volume and yield of Turkish lira-denominated loans, supported—with respect to the volume growth—by the lessening of the loan reserve requirements since January 4, 2025, as adopted by the CBRT (for additional information, see “Other Matters—Regulatory Update for Turkey”), and the higher customer spread (calculated as the average rate at which assets are remunerated, less the equivalent average rate for deposits), partially offset by the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro and, to a lesser extent, the higher cost of wholesale funding. The period-on-period comparison was affected by changes in the reserve requirement for foreign currency deposits, which was set at 8.0% as of February 2024 and reduced in September 2024 (5.0%), November 2024 (4.0%) and June 2025 (2.5%) (see “Other Matters—Regulatory Update for Turkey”), and which requires Garanti BBVA to make Turkish lira-denominated deposits with the CBRT in such proportion with respect to all foreign currency-denominated deposits and participation funds, excluding those obtained from banks abroad, regardless of their maturities. The net interest margin over average total assets of this operating segment amounted to 3.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared with 1.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

At constant exchange rates, there was a 51.4% increase in net fees and commissions.
Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities and Exchange differences, net

Administration costs of this operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to €965 million, a 19.2% increase compared with the €810 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly as a result of the increase in the number of employees, salary updates and the increase in general expenses (technology and marketing) driven to a great extent by the high average inflation rates, partially offset by the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro. At constant exchange rates, there was a 53.3% increase in administration costs, which was above Turkey’s inflation rate for the period.

Provisions or reversal of provisions and other results

The tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was lower than for the six months ended June 30, 2024, notwithstanding the period-on-period increase in operating profit before tax, mainly as a result of the application of hyperinflationary accounting in assessing the tax burden in Turkey (with lower inflation and lower loss from the net monetary position, the effective tax rate is also lower). At constant exchange rates, there was a 16.0% increase in tax expense or income related to profit or loss from continuing operations.

Customer deposits (including “Financial liabilities at amortized cost - Customer deposits”, “Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss – Customer deposits” and “Financial liabilities held for trading – Customer deposits”) amounted to €468,509 million as of June 30, 2025 compared with €468,590 million as of December 31, 2024. The period-on-period decrease was due mainly to the depreciation, in terms of period-end exchange rates, of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates, partially offset by the increase in Turkish lira-denominated time deposits and, to a lesser extent, U.S. dollar-denominated time deposits in Turkey and, to a much lesser extent, the increase in deposits from public institutions (through repurchase agreements) and credit institutions in Spain, and increases in demand deposits from public institutions in Mexico.
Our customer deposits, excluding repurchase agreements, amounted to €437,275 million as of June 30, 2025, a 0.5% decrease compared with €439,469 million as of December 31, 2024.

Capital
June 30, 2025 information presented below is based on preliminary data.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, own funds are calculated in accordance with the applicable regulations on minimum capital requirements for Spanish credit institutions both at an individual entity level and as a consolidated group. Such regulations establish how to calculate own funds, as well as the various required internal capital adequacy assessment processes and the information required to be disclosed to the market.
The minimum capital requirements established by the current regulations 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 these regulations and internal corporate governance obligations.
As a result of the most recent Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) carried out by the ECB, BBVA must maintain, at a consolidated level, as from January 1, 2025, a CET1 capital ratio of 9.12%2 and a total capital ratio of 13.28%2. The consolidated total capital requirement includes: (i) the “Pillar 1” capital requirement (8.00%), of which a minimum of 4.50% must be met with CET1 capital, 1.50% could be met with AT1 instruments and 2.00% could be met with Tier 2 instruments; (ii) the “Pillar 2” capital requirement (1.68%), of which a minimum of 1.02% must be met with CET1 capital (of which 0.18% is determined on the basis of the ECB’s prudential provisioning expectation), 0.28% could be met with AT1 instruments and 0.38% could be met with Tier 2 instruments; (iii) the capital conservation buffer (2.50% that must be met exclusively with CET1 capital); (iv) the D-SIB capital buffer (1.00% that must be met exclusively with CET1 capital); and (v) the capital buffer for Countercyclical Risk (0.09%2 that must be met exclusively with CET1 capital). In addition, the Systemic Risk buffer is 0.00%2.
BBVA Group’s CET13 ratio stood at 13.34% as of June 30, 2025, which represents an increase of 46 basis points compared to December 31, 2024 mainly due to the profit of the BBVA Group recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025, which allows the Group to continue investing in growth opportunities. The entry into force of the new Capital Requirements Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2024/1623) (“CRR III”) had no significant impact on this ratio.
Risk-weighted assets (RWA) decreased in the first half of the year by approximately €7,417 million, mainly as a result of the depreciation against the euro of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates (see “―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―Trends in Exchange Rates”), partially offset by the increase in credit lending, mainly in Spain and Turkey.
The AT1 ratio stood at 1.42% as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of 10 basis points from December 31, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. completed an issuance for an amount of USD 1.0 billion of contingent convertible preferred securities (CoCos), as well as the early redemption of another issuance for the same amount. The depreciation of the U.S. dollar had a negative impact on the AT1 contribution of such CoCos.
The Tier 2 ratio stood at 2.97% as of June 30, 2025, which represents an increase of 47 basis points compared to December 31, 2024, mainly due to the issuance of subordinated debt by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. in Spain, amounting to €1.0 billion, during the six months ended June 30, 2025. In addition, in Mexico, USD 1.0 billion of subordinated debt was issued during such period.
As a result of the above, the total fully-loaded capital ratio stood at 17.72% as of June 30, 2025.
2 Considering the last official updates of the countercyclical capital buffer and systemic risk buffer, calculated on the basis of exposure as of March 31, 2025.
3 As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no differences between fully loaded and phased-in ratios given that the impact associated with the transitional adjustments is nil.

(1)December 31, 2024 data and ratios are presented according to the requirements under CRR II. June 30, 2025 data and ratios have been calculated applying the regulatory changes of CRR III.
(2)Preliminary data.
As of June 30, 2025, the leverage ratio (calculated by dividing BBVA’s Tier 1 capital by its total leverage ratio exposure measure, which includes BBVA’s assets and off-balance-sheet items) stood at 6.93% compared to 6.81% as of December 31, 2024. Tier 1 capital increased, supported by the generation of results during the six months ended June 30, 2025, while there was lower exposure to off-balance sheet assets, mainly driven by the entry into force of CRR III, and lower deposits at central banks, which together resulted in an increase of 12 basis points in the leverage ratio compared to December 31, 2024.
With regard to MREL (Minimum Requirement for own funds and Eligible Liabilities) requirements, BBVA must maintain, as from June 12, 2025, an amount of own funds and eligible liabilities equal to 23.13% of the total RWA of its resolution group, on sub-consolidated level (the “MREL in RWA”). Within this MREL in RWA, an amount equal to 13.50% of the RWA of the resolution group must be met with subordinated instruments (the “subordination requirement in RWA”). The MREL in RWA and the subordination requirement in RWA do not include the combined capital buffer requirement (3.65%, considering the last official update of the countercyclical capital buffer and the systemic risk buffer, calculated on the basis of exposure as of December 31, 2024, according to applicable regulations and supervisory criteria).
Additionally, BBVA is required to meet, also as from June 12, 2025, a volume of own funds and eligible liabilities in terms of total exposure considered for the purpose of the calculation of the leverage ratio (the “MREL in LR”) of 8.59% of which 5.66% in terms of the total exposure considered for calculating the leverage ratio shall be satisfied with subordinated instruments (the “subordination requirement in LR”). The MREL in RWA and MREL in LR ratios stood at 31.55% and 12.03%, respectively, while the subordinated ratios (subordination requirement in RWA and subordination requirement in LR, respectively, to be fulfilled only by capital and/or subordinated instruments) were 26.64% and 10.16%, respectively.
Given the structure of the resolution group’s own funds and eligible liabilities, as of June 30, 2025 the Group meets the aforementioned requirements.
The June 30, 2025 ratios referred to above include the impact of the various debt issuances made by BBVA during the first half of 2025 with the aim of reinforcing compliance with the aforementioned requirements.
In addition, as from January 1, 2025, BBVA must maintain, at an individual entity level, a CET1 ratio of 7.99% and a total capital ratio of 12.15%. These ratios include a “Pillar 2” capital requirement at the individual entity level of 1.50%, of which at least 0.84% shall be met with CET1.
The individual ratios as of June 30, 2025 were as follows: the CET1 ratio stood at 16.24%, the Tier 1 ratio stood at 18.82%, the Tier 2 ratio stood at 3.19% and the total capital ratio stood at 22.01%. Risk-weighted assets (RWA) on an individual entity level amounted to €205,473 million as of June 30, 2025.

Exchange Offer regarding Banco Sabadell
On April 17, 2024, the Chair of BBVA and the Chairman of Banco de Sabadell, S.A. (the “Target Company”) had a meeting in which the Chair of BBVA informed the Chairman of the Target Company about BBVA’s strategic and financial interest in resuming the merger discussions with the Target Company (by reference to the merger transaction discussed between BBVA and the Target Company in 2020 that ended without reaching any agreement), with a view to creating a leading bank, with greater scale and competitive capacity. On April 30, 2024 due to a media report regarding the abovementioned discussions between the Chair of BBVA and the Chairman of the Target Company, BBVA published an inside information notice (información privilegiada) confirming that the Chairman of the Target Company had been informed of BBVA’s board of directors’ interest in initiating negotiations with the Target Company to explore a potential merger of BBVA and the Target Company. On that same day, BBVA made an indicative proposal in writing to the Target Company relating to a corporate transaction, consisting of the proposed combination of the BBVA Group and the Target Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, through a merger by absorption of the Target Company by BBVA (which was published as an inside information notice (información privilegiada) of BBVA on May 1, 2024 and registered with the Spanish Securities and Exchange Commission (“CNMV”) with registry number 2232). On May 6, 2024, the Target Company published an inside information notice (información privilegiada) registered with the CNMV with registry number 2234, rejecting BBVA’s proposal. The Target Company has refused to negotiate with BBVA regarding its proposal.
Following such rejection, on May 9, 2024, BBVA announced, through the publication of an inside information notice (información privilegiada) (the “Prior Announcement”), the decision to launch an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target Company. The consideration offered by BBVA to the shareholders of the Target Company after the adjustments implemented thereto in October, 2024, March, 2025 and April, 2025 as a result of the interim and final dividends paid by both companies against their respective 2024 financial year results, consists of one (1) newly issued ordinary share of BBVA and €0.70 in cash for each five point three four five six (5.3456) ordinary shares of the Target Company, subject to certain further adjustments in the event of future dividend distributions as set forth in the Prior Announcement. As provided in the Prior Announcement, as a consequence of the cash interim dividend against 2025 results announced by Banco Sabadell on July 24, 2025, in the gross amount of €0.07 per share, to be paid on August 29, 2025, BBVA will adjust once again the consideration offered. From the ex-dividend date of said distribution, the consideration will be one (1) newly issued ordinary share of BBVA and €0.70 in cash for each five point five four eight three (5.5483) ordinary shares of Banco Sabadell.
Pursuant to the provisions of Royal Decree 1066/2007, of July 27, 2007, on the rules governing tender offers (“Royal Decree 1066/2007”), the Exchange Offer is subject to mandatory clearance by the CNMV. Additionally, pursuant to the provisions of Law 10/2014 and Royal Decree 84/2015, the acquisition by BBVA of control of the Target Company resulting from the Exchange Offer is subject to the duty of prior notification to the Bank of Spain and the obtention of the non-opposition of the ECB (which requirement was satisfied on September 5, 2024, as described below).
In addition, completion of the Exchange Offer is also subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Prior Announcement, in particular (i) the acceptance of the Exchange Offer by a number of shares that allows BBVA to acquire at least more than half of the effective voting rights of the Target Company at the end of the Exchange Offer acceptance period (therefore excluding the treasury shares that the Target Company may hold at that time) as this condition was amended by BBVA in accordance with the inside information notice (información privilegiada) dated January 9, 2025, (ii) approval by BBVA’s General Shareholders’ Meeting of the increase of BBVA’s share capital through the issue of new ordinary shares with non-cash contributions in an amount that is sufficient to cover the consideration in shares offered to the shareholders of the Target Company (which condition was satisfied on July 5, 2024, as described below), (iii) in accordance with the provisions of article 26.1 of the Royal Decree 1066/2007, the authorization of the economic concentration resulting from the Exchange Offer by the Spanish antitrust authorities (a condition that was satisfied on June 30, 2025, as described below), and (iv) the authorization of the indirect acquisition of control of the Target Company’s banking subsidiary in the United Kingdom, TSB Bank PLC, by the United Kingdom Prudential Regulation Authority (“PRA”) (which condition was satisfied on September 2, 2024, as described below).
On July 5, 2024, BBVA’s Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting approved to authorize the increase of BBVA’s share capital in an amount of up to €551,906,524.05 through the issuance of up to 1,126,339,845 newly-issued BBVA shares to be offered to the holders of the Target Company shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer. On March 21, 2025, BBVA’s Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting approved the renewal of such resolution for its exercise within a one (1) year period from such date.
On September 3, 2024, BBVA announced that it had received on September 2, 2024 the authorization from the PRA for BBVA’s indirect acquisition of control of TSB Bank PLC, the Target Company’s banking subsidiary in the United Kingdom, as a result of the Exchange Offer.
61
On September 5, 2024, BBVA announced that it received the decision of non-opposition from the ECB to BBVA’s taking control of the Target Company, as a result of the Exchange Offer.
On April 30, 2025, the Spanish National Markets and Competition Authority announced its decision to authorize the economic concentration resulting from the Exchange Offer (the “CNMC Resolution”), subject to compliance by BBVA with certain commitments aimed at ensuring financial inclusion, territorial cohesion, protection for vulnerable customers and lending to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and self-employed customers (the “CNMC Commitments”). The CNMC Commitments generally have a duration of three years (except for certain specific commitments with a different duration) beginning on the date that BBVA designates a majority of the Target Company’s board of directors (other than, only with respect to BBVA, certain commitments aimed at preserving its physical presence in certain territories and the maintenance of the commercial terms and conditions of certain products and services already contracted, which entered into force on the date the CNMC Resolution became effective on June 24, 2025).
In accordance with Article 58 of Law 15/2007, of July 3, on the defense of competition, on May 27, 2025, the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Trade and Business notified BBVA of its decision to refer to the Council of Ministers the CNMC Resolution for review on the grounds of general interest other than competition.
The Council of Ministers issued a decision on June 24, 2025 authorizing the economic concentration resulting from completion of the Exchange Offer subject to an additional condition aimed at protecting the following general interest concerns, other than those relating to the defense of competition: (i) ensuring an adequate maintenance of the objectives of the sectoral regulation linked to support for growth and business activity; (ii) protection of workers; (iii) territorial cohesion; (iv) social policy objectives related to the social work of their respective foundations, financial consumer protection and affordable housing; and (v) promotion of research and technological development (the “Council of Ministers’ Authorization”).
The Council of Ministers’ Authorization requires, at least for a period of three years from June 24, 2025, that BBVA and the Target Company maintain separate legal personality and shareholders’ equity and preserve its respective autonomy in the management of its operations with the aim of protecting the general interest concerns identified above (the “Autonomy Condition”). The Autonomy Condition must be materialized, at least, in the maintenance of autonomous management and decision-making in the respective entities, with a view to maximizing the value of each entity. Following such three-year period, the Spanish Secretary of State for Economy and Business Support (Secretaría de Estado de Economía y Apoyo a la Empresa) will evaluate the efficacy of the Autonomy Condition and the Council of Ministers will determine whether to extend the Autonomy Condition for an additional period of two years. The Council of Ministers’ Authorization also confirmed the CNMC Commitments.
The Council of Ministers’ Authorization finalized the merger control proceedings in Spain, with BBVA having the right to withdraw the Exchange Offer pursuant to the provisions of Article 26.1(c) of Royal Decree 1066/2007, as the authorization was subject to conditions. On June 30, 2025, BBVA publicly announced its decision not to withdraw the exchange offer as a result of the Council of Ministers’ Authorization. As a result, the condition requiring the obtainment of the authorization of the economic concentration resulting from completion of the Exchange Offer is considered satisfied. The specific terms of the Exchange Offer will be set out in the Spanish prospectus and the relevant U.S. offer to exchange/prospectus.

Regulatory Update for Spain
The below summary includes certain updates to the information included in “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Markets—Spain” in our 2024 Form 20-F.
Investment Services
Several sustainability initiatives within the European Union are shaping the asset management and retail investment services sectors during 2025. In particular:
•the European Securities and Markets Authority (“ESMA”) Guidelines on the use of ESG- or sustainability-related terms in fund names: Pursuant to the guidelines, asset managers were required to adapt the names of investment funds under their management—or, alternatively, adjust the investment policies of those funds—by May 21, 2025. BBVA completed the required review of the relevant funds in the EU ahead of the May 21, 2025 deadline. Where necessary, funds either (i) adapted their investment policies or (ii) simplified their names; in most cases the latter involved removing generic “ESG” wording. The exercise was concluded without material impact on product strategy, client positioning or commercial flows.
•Proposed EU simplification of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”): in February 2025 the Commission’s “Simplification Omnibus” package proposed limiting CSRD’s scope to large undertakings that employ more than 1,000 people. The Council endorsed this approach on June 23, 2025, and trilogue negotiations are scheduled for after the summer recess. Because the Spanish transposition bill has been put on hold while the final EU thresholds are agreed, BBVA asset managers are not yet required to apply CSRD reporting to financial year 2025; whether they will fall within the scope of CSRD in the future (which would trigger certain reporting requirements) will depend on the thresholds ultimately adopted. Should the CSRD’s scope be reduced, the amount of corporate-sustainability data available in the market is expected to shrink, which could in turn hamper BBVA funds’ ability to comply with their disclosure obligations under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (“SFDR”) as they seek to gather the required information; and
•Review of SFDR: following the 2023-2024 consultation, the Commission launched a Call for Evidence on May 2, 2025 to prepare reforms aimed at simplifying the regime and potentially introducing an EU-wide product labelling system. The legislative proposal is expected in the last quarter of 2025; until then, uncertainty remains over the final categories and the start date for any new labels.
Recent developments in financial services legislation include the following:
The European Commission has published a regulatory package called Retail Investment Strategy (“RIS”) which aims to increase the participation of retail investors in European capital markets. Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments (MiFID) is included among the different EU directives to be reviewed, with relevant changes proposed in retail investor protection. The European Parliament and European Council have also published their alternatives to the European Commission proposal. The amendment of MiFID is not expected to be approved in 2025 and its content is likely to undergo relevant changes given the differing public positions of the various EU co-legislators. This initiative may be affected by the new proposal known as Savings and Investments Union (“SIU”).
The European Commission has adopted its strategy for the SIU, a key initiative to improve the way the EU financial system channels savings to productive investments. This strategy is intended to be further developed through a number of legal initiatives across four strands of work: (i) citizens and savings, aimed at increasing investment in capital markets by EU citizens; (ii) investments and financing, aimed at providing more capital and financing options to EU businesses; (iii) integration and scale, aimed at reducing fragmentation in EU capital markets; and (iv) efficient supervision in the Single Market, aimed at creating a level playing field across the EU. Immediate developments are expected in the fields of financial education, the creation of investments and savings accounts, private pensions, promotion of investment in equity securities by institutional investors and other measures intended to enhance liquidity, securitization, improvement of market infrastructures, encouragement of cross border activities within the EU and harmonized and efficient supervision.
63
Undertakings for Collective Investments
Directive (EU) 2024/927, amending the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) and Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities (UCITS) Directive was approved in 2024 and must be transposed into national legislation before April 16, 2026. The main change introduced by the regulation relates to the delegation of functions and liquidity management. In this regard, ESMA published its final report on Regulatory Technical Standards and Guidelines on Liquidity Management Tools under the AIFMD and UCITS Directives, which are expected to be approved before the end of the year 2025. On top of that, the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) published additional recommendations on liquidity management. In addition, there is certain regulatory and supervisory concern regarding the contribution to systemic risks and the use of leverage by non-banking financial intermediaries.

Regulatory Update for Mexico
The below summary includes certain updates to the information included in “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Markets—Mexico” in our 2024 Form 20-F.
Constitutional and Institutional Reform
On September 15, 2024, a constitutional reform regarding the Judiciary System was published in Mexico’s Federal Official Gazette. The reform primarily establishes the popular election of federal judges, including the Supreme Court Justice (SCJN). Furthermore, it reduces the number of SCJN justices from 11 to 9. The reform took effect the day after its publication, with extraordinary elections scheduled for 2025.
Additionally, on December 20, 2024, a further constitutional reform was published in Mexico’s Federal Official Gazette to eliminate several Constitutionally Autonomous Bodies (OCAs), transferring their functions to other entities of the federal government. Among others, the National Institute of Transparency (INAI) will have its responsibilities redistributed to government agencies and the Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE) will be replaced by a decentralized body stemming from the Federal Executive, which will also be in charge of telecommunications’ antitrust matters. Congress had 90 days to issue legislation to implement this amendment. However, regarding COFECE, the decree provides that it will take effect within 180 days of the issuance of the corresponding legislation, without setting a deadline for it. As of the date of this report, no such legislation had been issued.
As a result of the aforementioned reform, on March 20, 2025, a decree was published in the Federal Official Gazette enacting new legislation on transparency and personal data protection. The new legal framework includes: (i) the General Law on Transparency and Access to Public Information; (ii) the General Law on Personal Data Protection Held by Obligated Subjects; and (iii) the Federal Law on Personal Data Protection Held by Private Parties. These new laws reassign transparency-related responsibilities from INAI to various entities including the Secretariat of Anti-Corruption and Good Governance and the Federal Judiciary. They also mandate the establishment of the National Information Access System and the creation of specialized courts and tribunals to address these matters. The enactment of secondary regulation is still pending.
Furthermore, on July 9, 2025, the Mexican Congress approved a reform to the Federal Economic Competition Law (LFCE), which is currently pending publication in the Federal Official Gazette. This amendment introduces significant changes –such as the creation of a new National Antitrust Commission, enhanced enforcement powers, and an expanded sanctions framework–and will affect various sectors, including banking, by increasing scrutiny over market behavior and dominant positions.
Anti-Money Laundering Regulation
On June 26, 2025, the Mexican Congress approved a reform to the Anti-Money Laundering Law (the Federal Law for the Prevention and Identification of Operations with Illicit Proceeds), which is currently pending publication in the Federal Official Gazette. This amendment introduces expanded definitions (including “beneficial owner” and “politically exposed person”), enhances the Ministry of Finance’s oversight powers, and strengthens coordination with public and national security authorities. It is expected that these changes will have legal and operational impacts, including increased due diligence requirements, stricter reporting obligations, and updates to internal AML systems.
COFECE Investigation into Card Payments Market
In 2018, the Investigative Authority (IA) of the COFECE launched an investigation into the card payments market. In July 2023, the COFECE’s Board issued a final resolution recommending that regulators implement regulatory changes and mandating clearing houses to establish a compliance program and appoint an antitrust compliance officer. BBVA Mexico has taken all necessary actions and provided all required information to demonstrate compliance with the resolution.
Separately, in October 2022, COFECE announced that it had initiated an investigation in April 2022 into potential collusion in credit card transactions involving deferred monthly payments at zero interest. Although not under investigation, in July 2024, BBVA was requested to assist the authority by providing information related to the case. The request was fulfilled in December 2024. On December 18, 2024, COFECE concluded the investigation phase. In April 2025, the Investigative Authority of COFECE presented its findings to the Board of Commissioners. As a result of the investigation, COFECE issued a Statement of Probable Responsibility and notified the involved parties, thereby initiating the trial-like stage of the proceeding. BBVA is not an involved party and did not receive any notification.

Regulatory Update for Turkey
The below summary includes certain updates to the information included in “Item 4. Information on the Company—Business Overview—Supervision and Regulation—Principal Markets—Turkey” in our 2024 Form 20-F.
Regulation on Loans and Reserve Requirements
Since 2020, the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (“BRSA”) and the CBRT have issued recommendations to protect the value of the Turkish lira by ensuring that customers who are granted cash loans do not use the loan amounts for buying foreign currency or gold, and has introduced and regulated the Foreign Currency Protected Turkish Lira Deposit Account, an instrument designed to protect Turkish lira-denominated deposits from volatility in exchange rates. Several Communiqués were issued since then, establishing maximum limits with respect to loan allocation and loan disbursement fees, revising applicable rates, and implementing policies to strengthen the monetary policy transmission mechanisms and to balance domestic demand.
In order to enhance the effectiveness of loan growth limits, a reserve requirement based on loan growth was introduced in 2024. During 2024, the monthly growth limit was reduced from 2.5% to 2.0% for Turkish lira commercial loans and from 3.0% to 2.0% for general purpose loans. On January 4, 2025, the growth limit was revised to 2.5% for SME loans and 1.5% for commercial loans. These measures were implemented in order to control the growth in Turkish lira denominated loans within a lower interest rate environment.
With respect to foreign currency denominated loans and with the aim of ensuring a level of loan growth consistent with the target decrease in inflation and the maintenance of the share of Turkish lira denominated loans, a monthly growth limit of 1.0% was introduced for such loans during 2024. As per the latest amendment on March 1, 2025, the monthly growth limit for foreign currency denominated loans has been reduced from 1.0% to 0.5%, and the scope of foreign currency denominated loans exempted from this growth limit has been narrowed.
On June 21, 2025, the Communiqué on Deposit and Loan Interest Rates and Participation Account Profit and Loss Participation Rates lowered the additional reserve requirement to 2.5%, from 4.0%.
Regulation on Deposits
The CBRT has amended the Communiqué Regarding Reserve Requirements, adjusting ratios for both Turkish lira and foreign currency liabilities (including deposits). Recent changes for foreign currency liabilities, effective April 25, 2025, increased reserve requirements (funds to be held at the CBRT as a percentage of loans or deposits, as the case may be) across various maturity profiles: requirements for demand and up to 1-month maturity deposits rose from 30% to 32%; requirements for up to 3 months, 6 months, and 1-year maturities increased from 26% to 28%; and requirements for deposits 1 year or longer (included) increased from 20% to 22% for general deposits/participation funds. Additionally, an extra 25% reserve requirement was introduced for foreign currency deposits/participation funds from repo transactions with domestic residents, with maturities up to 1 year.
Pursuant to the Communiqué on Deposit and Loan Interest Rates and Participation Account Profit and Loss Participation Rate of June 21, 2025, the following amendments on deposits were established: (i) new reserve requirement ratios were set for accounts with variable interest rates linked to the consumer price index (CPI), producer price index (PPI), and Turkish lira Overnight Reference Rate (“TLREF”) Index, set at 10%; (ii) for accounts with maturities up to 6 months benefiting from CBRT exchange rate/price protection, the ratio increased from 33% to 40%, while demand deposits/participation funds in foreign banks belonging to parent companies were set at 0%; and (iii) variable interest rates may be applied to Turkish lira deposits with maturities longer than 1 month (previously, 3 months or longer) and to foreign currency deposits with maturities longer than 6 months.
Additionally, on January 20, 2025, the CBRT discontinued the opening and renewal of foreign currency protected deposit and participation accounts, converted from foreign currency and gold, with maturities of 6 months and 12 months. This decision aligns with prior measures to phase out foreign currency-linked financial instruments.
On July 20, 2024, the Communiqué on Amendments to the Communiqué on the Deposit and Participation Scheme for Non-Resident Turkish Citizens was adopted, setting forth certain regulation applicable to time deposit and participation accounts (“YUVAM”) that are the result of converting foreign currency deposit accounts and participation funds of certain non-resident persons that were denominated in foreign currency into Turkish lira deposits or accounts, and which provide additional returns according to the procedures determined by the CBRT. YUVAM accounts are a subset of foreign currency-protected deposit (“KKM”) accounts, specifically tailored for non-resident individuals and legal entities, offering both exchange rate protection and an additional yield. As per the latest amendments, Turkish authorities are to gradually phase out the broader KKM scheme, specifically by excluding domestic legal entities from its scope for new openings and renewals, while maintaining YUVAM accounts as a distinct, regulated mechanism to attract foreign currency from non-resident individuals and legal entities.
66
Other regulations
New regulations in Turkey, effective June 2025, have significantly tightened anti-money laundering (AML) protocols for crypto asset service providers (“CSP”). The Financial Crimes Investigation Board (“FCIB”) now requires CSP to conduct remote Know Your Customer (“KYC”) checks, verifying customer identity and address through government databases for ongoing business relationships. This move integrates crypto services into the broader AML framework, aiming to increase transparency and accountability within the digital asset space. Further updates from the FCIB introduce specific restrictions on crypto asset transfers.

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025
1.Introduction, basis for the presentation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and other information
1.1 Introduction
Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (hereinafter “the Bank”, “BBVA" or "BBVA, S.A.") 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 noted on its web site (www.bbva.com).
In addition to the activities it carries out directly, the Bank heads a group of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates 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 required to prepare consolidated financial statements comprising all consolidated subsidiaries of the Group.
The consolidated financial statements of the BBVA Group for the year ended December 31, 2024 were authorized for issue on February 21, 2025.
1.2Basis for the presentation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements
The BBVA Group’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements (hereinafter, the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are presented in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (hereinafter “IAS 34”), adopted by the European Union (“EU-IFRS”), and with IFRS-IASB (International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board) and have been approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on July 30, 2025. In accordance with IAS 34, the interim financial information is prepared solely for the purpose of updating the last annual consolidated financial statements, focusing on new activities, events and circumstances that occurred during the period without duplicating the information previously published in those consolidated financial statements.
Therefore, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all information required by a complete set of consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS. Consequently, for an appropriate understanding of the information included in them, they should be read together with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The aforementioned annual consolidated financial statements are presented in compliance with IFRS-IASB (International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board), as well as in accordance with the EU-IFRS applicable as of December 31, 2024, considering the Bank of Spain Circular 4/2017, as well as its successive amendments, and any other legislation governing financial reporting which was, as of the date of preparation of such consolidated financial statements, applicable and with the format and mark-up requirements established in the EU Delegated Regulation 2019/815 of the European Commission.
F-11
The Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared applying 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 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the new Standards and Interpretations applicable from January 1, 2025 (see Note 2.1), so that they present fairly the Group’s consolidated equity and financial position as of June 30, 2025, together with the consolidated results of its operations and the consolidated cash flows generated by the Group during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The Consolidated Financial Statements and 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 entities in the Group.
All effective accounting standards and valuation criteria with a significant effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements were applied in their preparation.
The amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions of euros, unless it is more appropriate to use smaller units. Therefore, some items that appear without a balance in these Consolidated Financial Statements are due to how the units are expressed. 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.
When determining the information to disclose about various items of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group, in accordance with IAS 34, has taken into account their materiality in relation to the consolidated financial statements.
1.3 Seasonal nature of income and expense
The nature of the most significant activities carried out by the BBVA Group’s entities is mainly related to typical activities carried out by financial institutions, and are not significantly affected by seasonal factors within the same year.
1.4 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 were required to be made at times when preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements in order to calculate the recorded or disclosed amount of some assets, liabilities, income, expense and commitments. These estimates relate mainly to the following:
–Loss allowances on certain financial assets (see Notes 6, 12, 13 and 15).
–The assumptions used in the valuation of insurance and reinsurance contracts (see Note 22), to quantify certain provisions (see Note 23) and for the actuarial calculation of post-employment benefit liabilities and other commitments (see Note 24).
–The useful life and impairment losses of tangible and intangible assets and impairment losses of non-current assets held for sale (see Notes 16, 17 and 20).
–The valuation of goodwill and price allocation of business combinations (see Note 17).
–The fair value of certain unlisted financial assets and liabilities (see Notes 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12).
–The recoverability of deferred tax assets (see Note 18) and the forecast of corporate tax expense.
In general, the BBVA Group is working to consider and include how climate risk and other climate-related matters can affect the financial statements, cash flows and financial performance of the Group within the models used for the relevant estimations. These estimates and judgments are being considered when preparing the financial statements of the BBVA Group and, where relevant, they are mentioned in the corresponding Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
F-12
The prevailing geopolitical and economic uncertainties (see Note 6.1) entail a greater complexity in developing reliable estimations and applying judgment. Estimates have been made on the basis of the best available information on the matters analyzed, as of June 30, 2025. However, it is possible that events may take place subsequent to such date which could make it necessary to amend these estimations (upward or downward), which would be carried out prospectively, recognizing the effects of the change in estimation in the corresponding consolidated financial statements.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 there have been no significant changes in the estimates made as of December 31, 2024, other than those indicated in these Consolidated Financial Statements.
2.Principles of consolidation, accounting policies, measurement bases applied and recent IFRS pronouncements and interpretations
The accounting policies and methods applied for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements do not differ significantly to those applied in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2024 (as set forth in Note 2 thereto), except for the application of the requirements of IFRS 9 in relation to accounting hedge relationships as of January 1, 2025 (see Note 2.3).
The BBVA Group decided to transition to the IFRS 9 accounting framework for micro-hedge accounting starting from January 1, 2025. This decision is motivated by the fact that this option is better aligned with the BBVA Group’s risk management strategy. IFRS 9 introduces changes compared to IAS 39 in various areas, such as hedged items, hedging instruments, accounting for the time value of options and forward elements, hedge rebalancing, and hedge effectiveness assessment, which facilitate and broaden the range of transactions to which hedge accounting can be applied.
The BBVA Group has adapted its accounting policies and processes to the new regulations. A procedure has been established to document the requirements for recognizing an economic hedge as a hedge accounting measure, such as clear identification of the hedged items and hedging instruments, an assessment of the hedge’s effectiveness, and supporting evidence of the entity’s intention to manage its risk through these instruments.
The adoption of this accounting policy has not had any significant impact on the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
With respect to the accounting of macro-hedging relationships, the Group maintains the criteria established in IAS 39.
The standards that came into effect on January 1, 2025, as well as the standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (hereinafter, "IASB") but not yet in force as of June 30, 2025, are listed below. The most notable standards are:
2.1Standards and interpretations that became effective in the first six months of 2025
Amendment to - IAS 21 "Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates"
On August 15, 2023, the IASB issued a series of amendments to IAS 21 - The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates. The standard has a double objective, on the one hand to provide guidance on when one currency is convertible into another and, on the other hand, how to determine the exchange rate to be used in accounting when it is concluded that such convertibility does not exist.
In relation to the first objective, one currency is convertible into another when an entity can obtain the other currency within a time frame that allows for a normal administrative delay; and through markets or exchange mechanisms in which an exchange transaction creates enforceable rights and obligations. If the entity determines that there is no convertibility between currencies, it must estimate an exchange rate. The standard does not establish a specific estimation technique for them, but rather establishes guidelines for their determination, allowing the use of an observable type without adjusting or using an estimation technique.
F-13
The modification to the standard entered into force on January 1, 2025. The standard has not had an impact on the BBVA Group's consolidated financial statements.
2.2 Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective as of June 30, 2025
The following new International Financial Reporting Standards together with their Interpretations or Modifications had been published at the date of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, which are not mandatory as of June 30, 2025. Although in some cases the IASB allows early adoption before their effective date, the BBVA Group has not proceeded with this option for any such new standards.
IFRS 18 - "Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements"
On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements" which introduces new requirements to improve the quality of information presented in financial statements and to promote analysis, transparency and comparability of companies' performance.
Specifically, IFRS 18 introduces three predefined expense categories (operating, investing, financing) and two subtotals ("operating profit" and "profit before financing and income taxes") to provide a consistent structure in the income statement and facilitate the analysis of the income statement. Additionally, it introduces disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures (MPM). Finally, it establishes requirements and provides guidance on aggregation/disaggregation of the information to be provided in the primary financial statements.
This new standard will come into force on January 1, 2027, with early application permitted once it is adopted by the European Union.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments
On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include contingent features such as environmental, social and governance (ESG). Additionally, they clarify that a financial liability should be derecognized on the 'settlement date' and introduce an accounting policy option to derecognize before that date financial liabilities that are settled using an electronic payment system. Finally, additional disclosures are required in IFRS 7 for financial instruments with contingent characteristics and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The amendments will come into force on January 1, 2026, although early application is permitted because they have already been adopted by the European Union. No significant impact on the BBVA Group's financial statements is expected.
IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures"
On May 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures" which allows certain eligible entities to elect to apply the reduced disclosure requirements of IFRS 19 while continuing to apply the requirements of recognition, valuation and presentation of other IFRS accounting standards.
This new standard will enter into force on January 1, 2027, allowing early application once it is adopted by the European Union. In the Group there are no eligible entities within the scope of this standard, so no significant impact on the BBVA Group's financial statements is expected.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: Contracts that refer to nature-dependent electricity
On December 18, 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to address the accounting for contracts for the purchase and sale of renewable electricity, called Power Purchase Agreements. The amendments include guidance on the “own use” exemption for purchasers of electricity and requirements to apply hedge accounting on these arrangements.
F-14
The amendments will come into force on January 1, 2026, although they can be applied earlier as they have been adopted by the European Union as of June 30, 2025. No significant impact on the BBVA Group's financial statements is expected.
2.3IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”
Transition to IFRS 9 for accounting for micro hedges
On January 1, 2018, IFRS 9, which replaced IAS 39 with respect to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, credit impairment, and hedge accounting, came into force. However, the Group chose to continue applying IAS 39 for hedge accounting, as permitted by IFRS 9, pending the approval of a new accounting standard on macro hedges. On January 1, 2025, the Group decided to transition to the new IFRS 9 accounting framework for micro-hedge accounting.
Given the lack of a specific regulatory framework for macro hedges in IFRS 9, the Group continues to apply the current framework established under IAS 39 for macro hedge accounting. Thus, from January 1, 2025, the Group will apply simultaneously two standards with common characteristics (IAS 39 for macro hedges and IFRS 9 for micro hedges) until the IASB concludes the project to develop a specific framework for macro hedge accounting, known as the IFRS 9. Dynamic Risk Management (DRM) Project.
The adoption of the accounting policy for accounting for micro hedges in accordance with the requirements set out in IFRS 9 has not had any significant impact on the Group 's Consolidated Financial Statements.
“Derivatives – Hedge Accounting” and “Fair value changes of the hedged items in portfolio hedges of interest rate risk”
With the aim of improving the alignment between risk management and its presentation in the financial statements, the Group has decided to apply IFRS 9 for micro hedge accounting instead of IAS 39 as from January 1, 2025. Previously, until the transition date, the Group was applying IAS 39 for micro hedge accounting.
The Group uses hedging derivatives as a tool for managing financial risks, mainly interest rate risk and exchange rate risk.
To cover these risks, the Group uses, among others, the following hedging instruments:
–Interest rate derivatives to convert interest rate exposures into fixed or variable rates.
–Foreign exchange derivatives to convert foreign currency exposures to the entity’s currency and net investment exposures to the local currency.
In some hedging relationships, the Group additionally designates inflation risk as a contractually specified component of a debt instrument (e.g., inflation-linked bonds).
For these economic hedges to be recognized as hedge accounting, they must meet certain requirements established under both IAS 39 and IFRS 9. These requirements include clear identification of the hedged items and hedging instruments, an assessment of the hedge's effectiveness over time, and adequate documentation supporting the Group’s intention to manage its risk through these instruments. Only when these criteria are met can financial derivatives be accounted for as hedge accounting, allowing for an accounting treatment that more accurately reflects the Group’s risk management strategy (see Note 14).
Hedge accounting maintains a similar recording scheme under both IAS 39 and IFRS 9. Hedge ineffectiveness, defined as the difference between the change in value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in each period, attributable to the hedged risk, is recorded in the consolidated income statement (or other comprehensive income, if the hedging instrument hedges an equity instrument for which an entity has elected to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income) (see Notes 14 and 35).
F-15
Under IAS 39, hedge effectiveness is assessed both retrospectively and prospectively, ensuring that it remains within a range of 80% to 125%. However, IFRS 9 eliminates the strict 80%-125% effectiveness range requirement, allowing qualitative prospective assessments if there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, and credit risk does not exert a dominant effect on changes in the value of either the hedged item or the hedging instrument. BBVA has chosen to continue applying the 80%-125% effectiveness range as a measure for assessing hedge effectiveness, and may rebalance the hedge without discontinuing hedges if this range is not maintained, as described below.
The variations that occur, after the designation of the hedge, in the valuation of the financial instruments designated as hedged items and the financial instruments designated as accounting hedging instruments, are recorded as follows:
–In fair value hedges, the differences in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged instrument attributable to the hedged risk are recognized directly under "Gains (losses) from hedge accounting, net" in the consolidated income statement (or other comprehensive income, if the hedging instrument hedges an equity instrument for which an entity has elected to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income), using as a counterpart the consolidated balance sheet items in which the hedging element ("Derivatives - Hedge accounting") or the hedged element is recorded, as applicable (see Note 32).
–In fair value hedges of interest rate risk on a portfolio of financial instruments (“macro hedges”), the gains or losses arising from the measurement of the hedging instrument are recognized directly in the consolidated income statement with a counter-entry under the headings “Derivatives – Hedge accounting” and the gains or losses arising from the change in the fair value of the hedged item (attributable to the hedged risk) are also recorded in the consolidated income statement (in both cases, under the heading “Gains (losses) from hedge accounting, net”), using as a counter-entry the heading "Fair value changes of the hedged items in portfolio hedges of interest rate risk" in the asset or liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, depending on the nature of the hedged item.
–In cash flow hedges, the valuation differences arising from the effective portion of the hedged items are temporarily recorded under "Accumulated other comprehensive income - Items that may be reclassified to profit or loss - Hedging derivatives. Cash flow hedges (effective portion)" in the consolidated balance sheet, with a counterpart entry under "Derivatives - Hedge accounting" in the asset or liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, as applicable. These differences are recognized in the consolidated income statement when the gain or loss on the hedged item is recognized in profit or loss, when the planned transactions are executed, or on the maturity date of the hedged item. Almost all of the Group’s cash flow hedges relate to interest rate and inflation hedges of financial instruments, so the amount recorded in other comprehensive income will be reclassified to "Interest and other income" or "Interest expense" in the consolidated income statement (see Note 32).
–The differences in the value of the hedging instrument corresponding to the ineffective portion of cash flow hedging transactions are recorded directly under the heading “Gains (losses) from hedge accounting, net” in the consolidated income statement (see Note 35).
–In hedges of net investments in foreign operations, valuation differences arising from the effective portion of the hedged items are temporarily recorded under "Accumulated other comprehensive income - Items that may be reclassified to profit or loss - Hedge of net investments in foreign operations (effective portion)" in the consolidated balance sheet, with a countervailing entry under "Derivatives - Hedge accounting" in the asset or liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, as applicable. These valuation differences are recognized in the consolidated income statement when the foreign investment is disposed of or removed from the consolidated balance sheet (see Note 35).
The other relevant new features introduced by IFRS 9 and applicable from January 1, 2025, are as follows:
–It provides flexibility in the items that can be hedged (for example, it enables the hedging of net positions, aggregate positions, and specific risk components in non-financial items).
–It introduces the accounting treatment of “cost of hedging”, allowing components of hedging instruments such as forward elements, the time value of options, or the base spread to be excluded from the hedge. These values can be recognized in other comprehensive income, thereby reducing volatility in the consolidated income statement.
–It allows for the rebalancing of hedges without the need for discontinuations in hedge accounting as the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item is adjusted.
–For fair value hedges on equity instruments recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income, the differences in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income,” thereby minimizing the impact on profit or loss for the period.

Other relevant additional information
Announcement of the voluntary tender offer for the acquisition of all of the issued shares of Banco de Sabadell, S.A.
On April 30, 2024, due to a media report, BBVA published an inside information notice (información privilegiada) stating that it had informed the chairman of the Board of Directors of Banco de Sabadell, S.A. (the "Target Company") of the interest of BBVA’s Board of Directors in initiating negotiations to explore a possible merger between the two entities. On the same date, BBVA sent to the chairman of the Target Company the written proposal for the merger of the two entities. The content of the written proposal sent to the Board of Directors of the Target Company was published on May 1, 2024, by BBVA through the publication of an inside information notice (información privilegiada) with the CNMV.
On May 6, 2024, the Target Company published an inside information notice (información privilegiada) informing of the rejection of the proposal by its Board of Directors.
Following such rejection, on May 9, 2024, BBVA announced, through the publication of an inside information notice (información privilegiada) (the “Prior Announcement”), the decision to launch an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target Company. The consideration offered by BBVA to the shareholders of the Target Company after the adjustments implemented thereto in October, 2024, March, 2025 and April, 2025 as a result of the interim and final dividends paid by both companies against their respective 2024 financial year results, consists of one (1) newly issued ordinary share of BBVA and €0.70 in cash for each five point three four five six (5.3456) ordinary shares of the Target Company, subject to certain further adjustments in the event of future dividend distributions as set forth in the Prior Announcement. As provided in the Prior Announcement, as a consequence of the cash interim dividend against 2025 results announced by Banco Sabadell on July 24, 2025, in the gross amount of €0.07 per share, to be paid on August 29, 2025, BBVA will adjust once again the consideration offered. From the ex-dividend date of said distribution, the consideration will be one (1) newly issued ordinary share of BBVA and €0.70 in cash for each five point five four eight three (5.5483) ordinary shares of Banco Sabadell.
F-17
Pursuant to the provisions of Royal Decree 1066/2007, of July 27, 2007, on the rules governing tender offers (“Royal Decree 1066/2007”), the Exchange Offer is subject to mandatory clearance by the CNMV. Additionally, pursuant to the provisions of Law 10/2014 and Royal Decree 84/2015, the acquisition by BBVA of control of the Target Company resulting from the Exchange Offer is subject to the duty of prior notification to the Bank of Spain and the obtention of the non-opposition of the European Central Bank (“ECB”) (which requirement was satisfied on September 5, 2024, as described below).
In addition, completion of the Exchange Offer is also subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Prior Announcement, in particular (i) the acceptance of the Exchange Offer by a number of shares that allows BBVA to acquire at least more than half of the effective voting rights of the Target Company at the end of the Exchange Offer acceptance period (therefore excluding the treasury shares that the Target Company may hold at that time) as this condition was amended by BBVA in accordance with the inside information notice (información privilegiada) dated January 9, 2025, (ii) approval by BBVA’s General Shareholders’ Meeting of the increase of BBVA’s share capital through the issue of new ordinary shares with non-cash contributions in an amount that is sufficient to cover the consideration in shares offered to the shareholders of the Target Company (which condition was satisfied on July 5, 2024, as described below), (iii) in accordance with the provisions of article 26.1 of the Royal Decree 1066/2007, the authorization of the economic concentration resulting from the Exchange Offer by the Spanish antitrust authorities (a condition that was satisfied on June 30, 2025, as described below), and (iv) the authorization of the indirect acquisition of control of the Target Company’s banking subsidiary in the United Kingdom, TSB Bank PLC, by the United Kingdom Prudential Regulation Authority (“PRA”) (which condition was satisfied on September 2, 2024, as described below).
On July 5, 2024, BBVA’s Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting approved to authorize the increase of BBVA’s share capital in an amount of up to €551,906,524.05 through the issuance of up to 1,126,339,845 newly-issued BBVA shares to be offered to the holders of the Target Company shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer. On March 21, 2025, BBVA’s Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting approved the renewal of such resolution for its exercise within a one (1) year period from such date.
On September 3, 2024, BBVA announced that it had received on September 2, 2024 the authorization from the PRA for BBVA’s indirect acquisition of control of TSB Bank PLC, the Target Company’s banking subsidiary in the United Kingdom, as a result of the Exchange Offer.
On September 5, 2024, BBVA announced that it received the decision of non-opposition from the ECB to BBVA’s taking control of the Target Company, as a result of the Exchange Offer.
On April 30, 2025, the Spanish National Markets and Competition Authority announced its decision to authorize the economic concentration resulting from the Exchange Offer (the “CNMC Resolution”), subject to compliance by BBVA with certain commitments aimed at ensuring financial inclusion, territorial cohesion, protection for vulnerable customers and lending to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and self-employed customers (the “CNMC Commitments”).
The CNMC Commitments generally have a duration of three years (except for certain specific commitments with a different duration) beginning on the date that BBVA designates a majority of the Target Company’s board of directors (other than, only with respect to BBVA, certain commitments aimed at preserving its physical presence in certain territories and the maintenance of the commercial terms and conditions of certain products and services already contracted, which entered into force on the date the CNMC Resolution became effective on June 24, 2025).
In accordance with Article 58 of Law 15/2007, of July 3, on the defense of competition on May 27, 2025, the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Trade and Business notified BBVA of its decision to refer to the Council of Ministers the CNMC Resolution for review on the grounds of general interest other than competition.
The Council of Ministers issued a decision on June 24, 2025 authorizing the economic concentration resulting from completion of the Exchange Offer subject to an additional condition aimed at protecting the following general interest concerns, other than those relating to the defense of competition: (i) ensuring an adequate maintenance of the objectives of the sectoral regulation linked to support for growth and business activity; (ii) protection of workers; (iii) territorial cohesion; (iv) social policy objectives related to the social work of their respective foundations, financial consumer protection and affordable housing; and (v) promotion of research and technological development (the “Council of Ministers’ Authorization”).
F-18
The Council of Ministers’ Authorization requires, at least for a period of three years from June 24, 2025, that BBVA and the Target Company maintain separate legal personality and shareholders’ equity and preserve its respective autonomy in the management of its operations with the aim of protecting the general interest concerns identified above (the “Autonomy Condition”). The Autonomy Condition must be materialized, at least, in the maintenance of autonomous management and decision-making in the respective entities, with a view to maximizing the value of each entity. Following such three-year period, the Spanish Secretary of State for Economy and Business Support (Secretaría de Estado de Economía y Apoyo a la Empresa) will evaluate the efficacy of the Autonomy Condition and the Council of Ministers will determine whether to extend the Autonomy Condition for an additional period of two years.
The Council of Ministers’ Authorization also confirmed the CNMC Commitments.
4.Shareholder remuneration system
The Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of BBVA held on March 21, 2025 approved, under item 1.3 of the Agenda, a cash distribution against the 2024 results as a final dividend for the 2024 fiscal year, for an amount equal to €0.41 (€0.3321 net of withholding tax) per outstanding BBVA share entitled to participate in this distribution, which was paid on April 10, 2025. The total amount paid, excluding treasury shares held by the Group’s companies, amounted to approximately €2,360 million.
Additionally, on January 30, 2025, BBVA announced a share repurchase program for an amount of €993 million, which is pending execution in its entirety as of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
5.Operating segment reporting
Operating segment reporting represents a basic tool for monitoring and managing the different activities of the BBVA Group. In preparing the information by operating segment, the starting point is the lowest-level units, which are aggregated in accordance with the organizational structure determined by the Group's Management to create higher-level units and, finally, the reportable operating segments themselves.
As of June 30, 2025, the structure of the information by operating segment reported by the BBVA Group remains the same as that of the closing of 2024 financial year.
The BBVA Group's operating areas or segments are summarized below:
–Spain includes mainly the banking, insurance and asset management businesses that the Group carries out in Spain.
–Mexico includes banking, insurance and asset management businesses in this country as well as the activity that BBVA Mexico carries out through its agency in Houston.
–Turkey reports the activity of Garanti BBVA group that is mainly carried out in this country and, to a lesser extent, in Romania and the Netherlands.
–South America includes banking, financial, insurance and asset management activity that are carried out mainly in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
–Rest of business mainly incorporates the wholesale activity carried out in Europe (excluding Spain), the United States, and the BBVA branches located in Asia.
F-19
The Corporate Center performs centralized Group functions, including: the costs of the head offices with a corporate function for the consolidated BBVA Group, management of structural exchange rate positions; certain portfolios, such as financial and industrial holdings or stakes in Funds & Investment Vehicles in tech companies; certain tax assets and liabilities; funds for employee commitments; goodwill and other intangible assets, as well as the financing of such portfolios and assets.
The breakdown of the BBVA Group’s total assets by operating segment and the Corporate Center as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, is as follows:

6.Risk management
The principles and risk management policies, as well as tools and procedures established and implemented in the Group as of June 30, 2025 do not differ significantly from those included in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2024.
F-20
6.1Risk factors
The BBVA Group has processes in place for identifying risks and analyzing scenarios in order to enable the Group to manage risks in a dynamic and proactive way.
The risk identification processes are forward looking to seek the identification of emerging risks and take into account the concerns of both the business areas, which are close to the reality of the different geographical areas, and the corporate areas and senior management.
Risks are identified and measured consistently using the methodologies deemed appropriate in each case. Their measurement includes the design and application of scenario analyses and stress testing and considers the controls to which the risks are subjected.
As part of this process, a forward projection of the Risk Appetite Framework (hereinafter, "RAF") variables in stress scenarios is conducted in order to identify possible deviations from the established thresholds. If any such deviations are detected, measures are taken to seek to keep the variables within the target risk profile.
In this context, there are a number of emerging risks that could affect the evolution of the Group’s business, including the below and those mentioned in Note 7.1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2024:
Macroeconomic and geopolitical risks
The Group is sensitive to economic conditions and the institutional environment of the countries in which it operates, and the Group is exposed to sovereign debt especially in Spain, Mexico and Turkey.
The global economy is undergoing significant changes due to, among other reasons, the policies of the U.S. administration. Uncertainty surrounding their consequences is exceptionally high, substantially increasing geopolitical, economic and financial risks.
The recent significant increase in U.S. tariffs on imports has triggered financial market volatility, reinforcing global-wide risks. The level and duration of these tariffs, and uncertainty in connection therewith, could negatively impact the world economy, worsening the prospects for the macroeconomic environment. As a result of adopted or announced tariffs, global growth could decelerate significantly.
While fiscal stimulus and monetary easing measures could partially offset the impact of trade protectionism, particularly in the Eurozone, where significant public spending increases have been announced, the impact of higher U.S. tariffs could be amplified by the adoption of retaliatory measures by other countries, sustained uncertainty, weakening confidence levels and financial volatility, among other factors.
Increased tariffs also raise the risk of inflation in the United States, which has contributed to the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged in recent months and limited the scope for rate cuts in 2025. In the Eurozone, limited inflationary pressures have allowed the ECB to reduce the deposit facility rate to 2.0% in June 2025. While an additional rate cut is possible in the second half of 2025, the ECB may instead choose to keep rates unchanged.
Beyond higher import tariffs, tighter U.S. controls on migration flows could also affect the labor market, add to inflationary pressures and weigh on economic growth. The U.S. administration’s fiscal, regulatory, industrial and foreign policies, among others, could likewise contribute to financial and macroeconomic volatility.
Amid heightened uncertainty over U.S. policies and large fiscal deficits, the U.S. risk premium has recently increased, pushing up long-term sovereign yields and weakening the U.S. dollar. These developments could also spark episodes of volatility, especially given the high debt levels in both developed and emerging economies.
Rising trade protectionism and the growing U.S.-China rivalry could further heighten geopolitical tensions, especially against the backdrop of ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East. In response to these risks and the changes in the foreign policy of the U.S. administration, the European Union has adopted measures to increase military spending, which could support growth, while also adding to upward pressures on inflation and interest rates in the region.
F-21
Overall, rising global geopolitical tensions increase uncertainty around the outlook for the world economy and the likelihood of economic and financial disruptions, including an economic recession.
The Group is exposed, among others, to the following general risks related to the economic and institutional environment in the countries where it operates: changes in economic activity, including potential recession scenarios; inflationary pressures that could lead to tightening of monetary conditions; stagflation triggered by intense or prolonged supply shocks, including as a result of a protectionist escalation or a sharp rise in oil and gas prices; exchange rate volatility; adverse developments in real estate markets; changes in the institutional environment of the countries where the Group operates, which could lead to sudden and pronounced GDP contractions and/or shifts in regulatory or government policy, including capital controls, dividend restrictions, or the imposition of new taxes or levies; high levels of public debt or external deficits, which could lead to sovereign credit rating downgrades or defaults or debt restructurings; the impact of policies adopted by the current U.S. administration, about which significant uncertainty remains; and episodes of financial market volatility, such as those seen recently, that could result in significant losses for the Group.
In Spain, political, regulatory, and economic conditions may have a negative impact on activity. In Mexico, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the impact of recently approved constitutional and institutional reforms, and the policies of the U.S. administration have already adversely affected the country’s economy and deteriorated its prospects. In Turkey, despite the gradual improvement in macroeconomic conditions, the situation remains relatively unstable, marked by pressure on the Turkish lira, high inflation, a significant trade deficit, relatively low central bank foreign exchange reserves, and high external financing costs. Recent political and social tensions and the geopolitical situation in the Middle East could also trigger new episodes of financial volatility and macroeconomic risks. In Argentina, despite the improved prospects for the economy following significant fiscal, monetary and exchange rate adjustments, the risk of economic and financial turmoil persists. Lastly, in Colombia and Peru, climate-related factors, political tensions, and a deterioration of public finances could weigh on economic performance.
Any of these factors may have a significant adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
For additional information on the impact of the macroeconomic scenarios used in the estimation of expected credit loss, see Note 6.2.3 "Measurement of Expected Credit Loss (ECL)".
Regulatory and reputational risks
Financial institutions are exposed to a complex and ever-changing regulatory environment defined by governments and regulators. Regulatory activity in recent years has affected multiple areas, including changes in accounting standards; strict regulation of capital, liquidity and remuneration; bank charges and taxes on financial transactions; regulations affecting mortgages, banking products and consumers and users; recovery and resolution measures; stress tests; prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing; market abuse; conduct in the financial markets; anti-corruption; and requirements as to the periodic publication of information. Governments, regulatory authorities and other institutions continually make proposals to strengthen the resistance of financial institutions to future crises. Further, there is an increasing focus on the climate-related financial risk management capabilities of banks. Any change in the Group’s business that is necessary to comply with any particular regulations at any given time, especially in Spain, Mexico or Turkey, could lead to a considerable loss of income, limit the Group’s ability to identify business opportunities, affect the valuation of its assets, force the Group to increase its prices and, therefore, reduce the demand for its products, impose additional costs on the Group or otherwise adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
The financial sector is under ever closer scrutiny by regulators, governments and society itself. In the course of activities, situations which might cause relevant reputational damage to the Group could arise and might affect the regular course of business.
New business and operational risks and legal risks
New technologies and forms of customer relationships: Developments in the digital world and in information technologies pose significant challenges for financial institutions, entailing threats (new competitors, disintermediation, etc.) but also opportunities (new framework of relations with customers, greater ability to adapt to their needs, new products and distribution channels, etc.).
Digital transformation is a priority for the Group which includes among its objectives the development of advanced 'Next Gen' technological capabilities, artificial intelligence, and the continuous improvement of the customer experience.
F-22
Technological risks and security breaches: The Group is exposed to new threats such as cyber-attacks, theft of internal and customer databases, fraud in payment systems, etc. that require major investments in security from both the technological and human point of view. The Group gives great importance to the active operational and technological risk management and control. Any attack, failure or deficiency in the Group’s systems could, among other things, lead to the misappropriation of funds of the Group’s clients or the Group itself and the unauthorized disclosure, destruction or use of confidential information, as well as prevent the normal operation of the Group and impair its ability to provide services and carry out its internal management. In addition, any attack, failure or deficiency could result in the loss of customers and business opportunities, damage to computers and systems, violation of regulations regarding data protection and/or other regulations, exposure to litigation, fines, sanctions or interventions, loss of confidence in the Group’ s security measures, damage to its reputation, reimbursements and compensation, and additional regulatory compliance expenses and could have a significant adverse impact on the Group’ s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Legal risks: The financial sector faces an environment of increasing regulatory and litigious pressure, and thus, the various Group entities are frequently party to individual or collective judicial proceedings (including class actions) resulting from their activity and operations, as well as arbitration proceedings. The Group is also party to government procedures and investigations, such as those carried out by the antitrust authorities in certain countries which, among other things, have in the past and could in the future result in sanctions, as well as lead to claims by customers and others. In addition, the regulatory framework in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates is evolving towards a supervisory approach more focused on the opening of sanctioning proceedings. In addition, some regulators are focusing their attention on consumer protection and behavioral risk.
In Spain and in other jurisdictions where the Group operates, legal and regulatory actions and proceedings against financial institutions, prompted in part by certain judgments in favor of consumers handed down by national and supranational courts (with regards to matters such as credit cards and mortgage loans), have increased significantly in recent years and this trend could continue in the future. Legal and regulatory actions and proceedings faced by other financial institutions in relation to these and other matters, especially if such actions or proceedings result in favorable resolutions for the consumer, could also adversely affect the Group.
There are also claims before Spanish courts challenging the validity of certain revolving credit card agreements. Rulings in these types of proceedings, whether against the Bank or other financial institutions, could negatively affect the Group.
Additionally, in relation to the ESG area, factors that may affect these new business, operational and legal risks have been identified.
All of the above may result in a significant increase in operating and compliance costs or even a reduction of revenues, and it is possible that an adverse outcome in any proceedings (depending on the amount thereof, the penalties imposed or the procedural or management costs for the Group) could damage the Group's reputation, generate a knock-on effect or otherwise adversely affect the Group.
It is difficult to predict the outcome of legal and regulatory actions and proceedings, both those to which the Group is currently exposed and those that may arise in the future, including actions and proceedings relating to former Group subsidiaries or in respect of which the Group may have indemnification obligations. Any of such outcomes could be significantly adverse to the Group. In addition, a decision in any matter, whether against the Group or against another credit entity facing similar claims as those faced by the Group, could give rise to other claims against the Group. In addition, these actions and proceedings attract resources from the Group and may occupy a great deal of attention on part of the Group's management and employees.
As of June 30, 2025, the Group had €761 million in provisions for the proceedings it is facing (included in the line "Provisions for taxes and other legal contingencies" in the consolidated balance sheet) (see Note 23), of which €585 million correspond to legal contingencies and €176 million to tax related matters, without significant change since December 31, 2024. However, the uncertainty arising from these proceedings (including those for which no provisions have been made, either because the probability of an unfavorable outcome for the Group is estimated to be remote, or because it is not possible to estimate them or for other reasons) makes it impossible to guarantee that the possible losses arising from the resolution of these proceedings will not exceed, where applicable, the amounts that the Group currently has provisioned and, therefore, could affect the Group's consolidated results in a given period.
F-23
As a result of the above, legal and regulatory actions and proceedings currently faced by the Group or to which it may become subject in the future or which may otherwise affect the Group, whether individually or in the aggregate, if resolved in whole or in part adversely to the Group's interests, could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Spanish judicial authorities are investigating the activities of Centro Exclusivo de Negocios y Transacciones, S.L. (“Cenyt”). Such investigation includes the provision of services by Cenyt to BBVA. On July 29, 2019, BBVA was named as an investigated party (investigado) in a criminal judicial investigation (Preliminary Proceeding No. 96/2017 – Piece No. 9, Central Investigating Court No. 6 of the National High Court) for alleged facts which could constitute bribery, revelation of secrets and corruption. Certain current and former officers and employees of the Group, as well as former directors, have also been named as investigated parties in connection with this investigation. Since the beginning of the investigation, BBVA has been proactively collaborating with the Spanish judicial authorities, including sharing with the courts information obtained in the internal investigation hired by the entity in 2019 to contribute to the clarification of the facts.
By order of the Criminal Chamber of the National High Court, the pre-trial phase ended on January 29, 2024. On June 20, 2024, the Judge issued an order authorizing the continuation of abbreviated criminal proceedings against the Bank and certain current and former officers and employees of the Bank, as well as against some former directors, for alleged facts which could constitute bribery and revelation of secrets. It is not possible at this time to predict the possible outcomes or implications for the Group of this matter, including any fines, damages or harm to the Group’s reputation caused thereby.
6.2Credit risk
Credit risk 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. The general principles governing credit risk management in the BBVA Group, as well as the credit risk management in the Group as of June 30, 2025 do not differ significantly from those included in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2024.
6.2.1 Credit risk exposure
The BBVA Group’s credit risk exposure by headings in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is provided below. It does not consider the loss allowances and the availability of collateral or other credit enhancements to ensure compliance with payment obligations. The details are broken down by category of financial instruments:

6.2.3 Measurement of Expected Credit Loss (ECL)
As of June 30, 2025, the models for calculating expected losses used by the Group to prepare the attached Consolidated Financial Statements do not differ significantly from those detailed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the update of the macroeconomic scenarios, as such models have incorporated its estimated impact on economic activity and the main economic indicators for the first half of 2025.
BBVA Research forecasts a maximum of five years for the macroeconomic variables. The following estimates for the next five years of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, of the unemployment rate and of the House Price Index (HPI), for the most relevant countries where it represents a significant factor, are determined by BBVA Research and have been used at the time of the calculation of the ECL as of June 30, 2025:

Sensitivity to macroeconomic scenarios
A sensitivity exercise has been carried out on the expected losses due to variations in the key hypotheses as they are the ones that introduce the greatest uncertainty in estimating such losses. As a first step, GDP and the House Price Index have been identified as the most relevant variables. These variables have been subjected to shocks of +/- 100 bps in their entire window with impact on the macro models. Independent sensitivities have been assessed, under the assumption of assigning a 100% probability to each determined scenario with these independent shocks.
F-30
Variation in expected loss is determined both by re-staging (that is: in worse scenarios due to the recognition of lifetime credit losses for additional operations that are transferred to stage 2 from stage 1 where 12 months of losses are valued; or vice versa in improvement scenarios) as well as variations in the collective risk parameters (PD or probability of default and LGD or loss given default) of each financial instrument due to the changes defined in the macroeconomic forecasts of the scenario. The variation (with a positive amount indicating a provision and a negative amount indicating a reversal) in the expected loss for the Group and the main portfolios and geographical areas as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, is shown below:

Estimation model and additional adjustments to expected losses measurement
The Group periodically reviews its individual estimates and its models for the collective estimate of expected losses as well as the effect of macroeconomic scenarios on them. Although these updates incorporate the best information available at any given time, they may not fully reflect the most recent developments in the economic environment, especially in contexts of high uncertainty and volatility or very recent events still under development. In this regard, to estimate expected losses, what is described in Note 7 of the 2024 consolidated financial statements on individual and collective estimates of expected losses must be taken into account, as well as macroeconomic estimates and sensitivity to variations in key assumptions of macroeconomic scenarios.
In addition, the Group may supplement the expected losses to account for the effects that may not be included, either by considering additional risk factors, or by the incorporation of sectorial particularities or particularities that may affect a set of operations or borrowers, following a formal internal approval process established for this purpose, including evaluation by the relevant Global Risk Management Committee (GRMC) out of all GRMC committees, as described in the general risk management and control model chapter of the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2024, the Group had recorded a €33 million adjustment in Spain, due to the damage caused by the Isolated Depression at High Levels (DANA by its acronym in Spanish) in different Spanish municipalities between October 28 and November 4, 2024. There was no significant variation in the adjustment during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
6.2.4 Loss allowances
Below are the changes in the six months ended June 30, 2025, and the year ended December 31, 2024 in the loss allowances recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets to cover the estimated impairment or reversal of impairment on loans and advances of financial assets at amortized cost:

6.3Liquidity and funding risk
Liquidity and funding management at BBVA is aimed at driving the sustained growth of the banking business, through access to a wide variety of alternative sources of funding and seeking optimal term and cost conditions. BBVA's business model, risk appetite framework and funding strategy are designed to reach a solid funding structure based on stable customer deposits, mainly retail (granular). As a result of this model, deposits have a high stability in each geographical area, representing close to 55% of the financing needs in Spain and Mexico. It is important to note that, given the nature of BBVA's business, lending is mainly financed through customer funds.
One of the key elements in the BBVA Group's liquidity and funding management is the maintenance of high-quality liquidity buffers in all geographical areas. Thus, the Group has maintained during the last 12 months an average volume of high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) of €125,581 million, of which 98% corresponded to maximum quality assets (level 1 in the liquidity coverage ratio, LCR).
Due to its subsidiary-based management model, BBVA is one of the few major European banks that follows the Multiple Point of Entry (“MPE”) resolution strategy: the parent company sets the liquidity policies, but the subsidiaries are self-sufficient and responsible for managing their own liquidity and funding (taking deposits or accessing the market based on their own credit rating). This strategy is intended to limit the spread of a liquidity crisis among the Group's different areas and ensure the adequate transmission of the cost of liquidity and financing to the price formation process.
The BBVA Group maintains a liquidity position in every geographical area in which it operates, with ratios in excess of the minimum required:
–The LCR requires banks to maintain a volume of high-quality liquid assets sufficient to withstand liquidity stress for 30 days. BBVA Group's consolidated LCR remained above 100% during the first half of 2025 and stood at 140% as of June 30, 2025. It should be noted that, given the MPE nature of BBVA, this ratio limits the numerator of the LCR for subsidiaries of BBVA S.A. to 100% of their net outflows, therefore, the resulting ratio is below that of the individual units (the LCR of the main components was 169% in BBVA, S.A., 160% in Mexico and 144% in Turkey). Without considering this restriction, the Group's LCR ratio was 168%.
–The net stable funding ratio (NSFR) requires banks to maintain a stable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and off-balance sheet activities. The BBVA Group's NSFR ratio stood at 126% as of June 30, 2025.
The main wholesale financing transactions carried out by the BBVA Group during the first half of 2025 are listed below, including a relevant transaction formalized in July.
| Issuer | Type of issue | Date of issue | Nominal (millions) | Currency | Coupon | Early redemption | Maturity date | ||||||||||||||||
| BBVA, S.A. | AT1 | Jan-25 | USD | 7.750 | % | Jan-32 | Perpetual | ||||||||||||||||

In addition, in May 2025, BBVA redeemed early, in whole, a series of senior preferred notes issued in May 2023 with an aggregate principal amount of €1 billion; in March 2025, it redeemed in full a USD 1 billion of Contingent Convertible Preferred Securities (AT1) series issued in 2019; and, in January 2025, it redeemed early, in whole, a €1 billion Tier 2 series issued in January 2020. In addition, on June 25, 2025, BBVA announced that the Board of Directors of BBVA has approved an issue of an AT1 series for a maximum amount of €1.5 billion (pending execution as at 30 June 2025). The specific terms of this issue will be communicated by BBVA at the time it is decided, if applicable, to carry out its execution.
BBVA Mexico issued in February 2025 USD 1 billion of Tier 2 subordinated debt with a coupon of 7.625%, and maturity in February 2035 (with an early redemption date in February 2030). In March 2025, an issue was made in the local market for 15 billion Mexican pesos, in two tranches, the first, BBVAMX 25, was placed for a term of three and a half years with a variable rate of TIIE overnight funding plus 32 basis points, while the second tranche, BBVAMX 25-2, closed at a fixed rate of 9.67% for a term of seven years.
In the first half of 2025, Garanti BBVA issued a total of USD 1,628 million of short-term senior MTNs (Medium term notes) in order to roll over maturities and generate liquidity. In June 2025, it renewed a sustainable syndicated loan in two tranches: one of USD 95.75 million and €99.275 million with a term of 367 days, and another of USD 191.5 million and €36 million, with a term of 734 days. The total cost of the agreement is, with respect to the 367-day euro tranches, SOFR+1.60% for the U.S. dollars sub-tranche and Euribor +1.35% for the euro sub-tranche, and, with respect to the 734-day euro tranches, SOFR+2.00% for the U.S. dollars sub-tranche and Euribor +1.75% for the euro sub-tranche. In addition, on June 24, 2025, Garanti BBVA launched an offering of subordinated bonds with a 10.5 year maturity, an early redemption option at 5.5 years and an aggregate principal amount of USD 500 million. The operation, structured in accordance with Basel III, was offered to institutional investors abroad and was completed on July 1, 2025.
In the first half of 2025, BBVA Argentina issued senior debt in the local market, a market that gained depth throughout the period. A total of four senior issues were made in February 2025, in both Argentine pesos and U.S. dollars. A total of 67 billion Argentine pesos (7 and 12 months) and USD 37 million (6 and 12 months) were issued. Two issues were made in June 2025, one in Argentine pesos for an amount of 115 billion Argentine pesos at one year and another for an amount of USD 62 million also at one year. The aggregate euro equivalent of these issues was €216 million.
7.Fair value of financial instruments
The criteria and valuation methods used to estimate the fair value of financial assets as of June 30, 2025 do not differ significantly from those included in Note 8 from the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The techniques and unobservable inputs used for the valuation of the financial instruments classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 3, do not significantly differ from those detailed in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The effect on the consolidated income statements and on the consolidated equity, resulting from changing the main assumptions used in the valuation of Level 3 financial instruments for other reasonably possible assumptions, does not differ significantly from that detailed in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Group’s non-Spanish banks and subsidiaries file tax returns in accordance with the tax legislation in force in each country.
18.2Current and deferred taxes
The balance under the heading "Tax assets" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets includes current and deferred tax assets. The balance under the “Tax liabilities” heading includes the Group’s various current and deferred tax liabilities. The details of the mentioned tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

As of June 30, 2025, current tax liabilities include approximately €150 million corresponding to the accrual corresponding to the first half of 2025 of the Interest Margin and Commission Tax regulated by the Ninth Final Provision of Law 7/2024.
The evolution of the Group's deferred tax assets during the period was influenced by the estimated result of the tax inspection process of the BBVA consolidated tax group in Spain, covering the years 2017 to 2020, with respect to the main applicable taxes, as well as by the Group reassessment of the coverage needs for the identified tax risks.
Additionally, certain deferred tax assets corresponding to the Group in Spain, which had not previously been recorded were first recognized in the current period. This decision was based on the ability and acceleration observed in the process of absorbing these assets, a solid track record of recent historical results —including for the current 2025 financial year—, the Group's sustained capacity to generate value, and profit projections that support their recognition, in accordance with the disclosures of the Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
All of the above had a net positive impact on the estimated effective tax rate, which stood at 31.2% as of June 30, 2025 (31.4% as of December 31, 2024).

(1) Individually non-significant provisions for various concepts and corresponding to different geographical areas.
Ongoing legal proceedings and litigation
The financial sector faces an environment of increased regulatory pressure and litigation. In this environment, the various Group entities are often sued on lawsuits and are therefore involved in individual or collective legal proceedings and litigation arising from their activity and operations, including proceedings arising from their lending activity, from their labor relations and from other commercial, regulatory or tax issues, as well as in arbitration.
On the basis of the information available, the Group considers that, at June 30, 2025, the provisions made in relation to judicial proceedings and arbitration, where so required, are adequate and reasonably cover the liabilities that might arise, if any, from such proceedings. Furthermore, on the basis of the information available and with the exceptions indicated in Note 6.1 "Risk factors", BBVA considers that the liabilities that may arise from such proceedings will not have, individually, a significant adverse effect on the Group's business, financial situation or results of operations.
24.Pension and other post-employment commitments
The Group sponsors defined-contribution plans for the majority of its active employees, with the plans in Spain and Mexico being the most significant. Most of the defined benefit plans are for individuals already retired, and are closed to new employees, the most significant being those in Spain, Mexico and Turkey. In Mexico, the Group provides post-retirement medical benefits to a closed group of employees and their family members, both in active service and retirement. During the first half of 2025, there were no significant changes in the Group's post-employment commitments.
The amounts relating to post-employment benefits charged to the condensed consolidated income statement are as follows:

The eligible capital instruments and the risk-weighted assets (hereinafter "RWA") of the Group are shown below, calculated in accordance with the applicable regulation, considering the entities in scope required by such regulation, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| CAPITAL RATIOS | ||||||||
| June 2025 ⁽¹⁾ | December 2024 | |||||||
| Eligible Common Equity Tier 1 capital (millions of Euros) (a) | ||||||||

| Total capital ratio (A)+(B)+(C) | % | % | ||||||
(1) Provisional data.
The BBVA Group's earnings have contributed to achieving a consolidated CET1 ratio of 13.34% as of June 30, 2025, which allows maintaining a management buffer over the Group's CET1 requirement as of that date (9.12%4), and which is also above the Group's target management range of 11.5 - 12.0% CET1.
Fully-loaded risk-weighted assets decreased in the first half of the year by €7,417 million, mainly as a result of the evolution of exchange rates (depreciation against the euro of the currencies of the main countries where the Group operates), partially offset by the increase in credit lending, mainly in Spain and Turkey.
The consolidated additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital ratio stood at 1.42% as of June 30, 2025, 10 basis points lower than as of December 31, 2024. In this period, BBVA, S.A. completed an issuance for an amount of €1,000 million of Contingent Convertible instruments (CoCos) in January 2025. In addition, in March 2025, the call for redemption of another issuance of Contingent Convertible instruments for a total amount of €1,000 million was made.
The consolidated Tier 2 ratio stood at 2.97% as of June 30, 2025 which represents an increase of 47 basis points compared to December 31, 2024, mainly due to the issuance of a subordinated bond in Spain for €1,000 million in February 2025, and, to a lesser extent, the issuance in Mexico of subordinated debt for an amount of $1,000 million also in February.
As a consequence of the foregoing, the consolidated total capital ratio stood at 17.72% as of June 30, 2025.

The breakdown of the leverage ratio as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, calculated according to CRR (Capital Requirements Regulation), is as follows:
| LEVERAGE RATIO | ||||||||
| June 2025 ⁽¹⁾ | December 2024 | |||||||
| Tier 1 (millions of Euros) (a) | ||||||||
| Exposure to leverage ratio (millions of Euros) (b) | ||||||||
| Leverage ratio (a)/(b) (percentage) | % | % | ||||||
(1) Provisional data.
As of June 30, 2025, the leverage ratio stood at 6.93%. It is worth highlighting the reduction in exposure (around €10,000 million), due to the decrease in off-balance sheet exposure, as a result of the entry into force of CRR III, and the reduction of the deposits at central banks. In addition, there was an increase of approximately €300 million in Tier 1 capital, mainly due to the generation of results. Both effects together led to an increase of 12 basis points compared to December 31, 2024 (6.81%).
On June 12, 2025 the Group made public that it had received a communication from the Bank of Spain regarding its MREL5 requirement, established by the Single Resolution Board (“SRB”). According to this communication, BBVA must maintain, as from June 12, 2025, an MREL in RWA of 23.13%6. In addition, BBVA must reach, also as from June 12, 2025, a volume of own funds and eligible liabilities in terms of total exposure considered for purposes of calculating the leverage ratio of, at least, 8.59% (the “MREL in LR”)7. These requirements do not include the current combined capital requirement, which, according to current regulations and supervisory criteria, is 3.65%8.
With respect to the MREL ratios9 achieved as of June 30, 2025, these were 31.55% and 12.03%, respectively for MREL in RWA and MREL in LR, reaching the subordinated ratios of 26.64% and 10.16%, respectively. Given the structure of the resolution group's own funds and eligible liabilities, as of June 30, 2025, the Group meets the aforementioned requirements.
30.Commitments and guarantees given
The breakdown of the balance under these headings in the condensed consolidated balance sheets is as follows:
5 Minimum Requirement for Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities.
6 The subordinated requirement in RWA is 13.50%.
7 The subordinated requirement in LR is 5.66%.
8 Considering the last official updates of the countercyclical capital buffer and systemic risk buffer, calculated on the basis of exposure as of March 31, 2025.
9 Calculated at subconsolidated level according to the resolution strategy MPE of the BBVA Group, established by the SRB. The resolution group is made up of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. and subsidiaries that belong to the same European resolution group. That implies the ratios are calculated under the subconsolidated perimeter of the resolution group.

(2) Directors appointed by the General Meeting held on March 15, 2024, therefore the allocation of theoretical shares was made for the first time in 2025.
(3) The total number of theoretical shares allocated during the first half of the 2024 financial year does not include the 7,735 and 8,157 theoretical shares allocated to José Maldonado Ramos and Juan Pi Llorens, respectively, whose terms of office ended on March 15, 2024 and who after leaving office, in application of the system, received a total of 154,609 and 156,699 BBVA shares, respectively, which is equivalent to the total theoretical shares accumulated up to that date by each of them.

| ANNUAL FIXED REMUNERATION (THOUSANDS OF EUROS) | ||||||||
| June 2025 | June 2024 | |||||||
| Chair | ||||||||
| Chief Executive Officer | ||||||||
| Total | ||||||||
In accordance with the conditions established in the BBVA Directors’ Remuneration Policy and contractually, during the first half of 2025 and 2024, the Chair received, in each period, the amount of €20 thousand in fixed allowances corresponding to vehicle leasing and others. Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer received, in each period, the fixed amounts of €327 thousand as "cash in lieu of pension" (equivalent to 30% of his Annual Fixed Remuneration) and €300 thousand as a mobility allowance.
F-61
| REMUNERATION IN KIND (THOUSANDS OF EUROS) | ||||||||
In addition, during the first half of 2025 and 2024, in-kind remuneration has been paid to the executive directors, including insurance premiums and others, amounting to €111 thousand and €138 thousand, respectively, in the case of the Chair and €102 thousand and €123 thousand, respectively, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer.
| ANNUAL VARIABLE REMUNERATION (THOUSANDS OF EUROS) | ||||||||
The accrual and award of the Annual Variable Remuneration ("AVR"), which consists of two components, a Short-Term Incentive (“STI”) and a Long-Term Incentive ("LTI"), occurs, where applicable, after the end of the corresponding financial year, and therefore no amounts corresponding to the first half of 2025 and 2024 are included in the information shown herein.
The amount of the AVR for the 2025 financial year will be determined in 2026 and, if the applicable conditions are met, the Upfront Portion (maximum 40%) will be paid in the first half of 2026. All of this would be done in accordance with the rules and conditions applicable to the AVR set out in the BBVA Directors’ Remuneration Policy approved by the General Meeting on March 17, 2023.
In the first half of the 2025 financial year, the executive directors were awarded the AVR for the 2024 financial year, which includes an STI amounting to €2,871 thousand in the case of the Chair and €2,147 thousand in the case of the Chief Executive Officer.
Likewise, as part of the AVR for financial year 2024, the executive directors have accrued the right to an LTI for a maximum theoretical amount of €1,929 thousand in the case of the Chair and €1,443 thousand in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, which is equivalent, in both cases, to 150% of their Target LTI. Once the measurement period for the long-term indicators established for its calculation has ended (at 2027 year-end), the final amount thereof will be determined, which may range from 0% to 150% of the Target LTI. Therefore, if 100% of the pre-established targets are achieved, this incentive will amount to €1,286 thousand in the case of the Chair and €962 thousand in the case of the Chief Executive Officer.
In accordance with the provisions of the BBVA Directors’ Remuneration Policy, in the first half of 2025 financial year, executive directors received the Upfront Portion of the AVR for the 2024 financial year, in equal parts cash and BBVA shares (€897 thousand and 92,803 shares in the case of the Chair and €671 thousand and 69,408 shares in the case of the Chief Executive Officer).
The remaining amount of the AVR for the 2024 financial year (which includes the deferred portion of the STI and the entire LTI for the 2024 financial year) has been deferred for a five-year period (40% in cash and 60% in shares and/or share-linked instruments) (the "Deferred Portion").
The final amount of the Deferred Portion will depend on the result of the long-term indicators that shall be used to calculate the LTI for 2024. Likewise, and as an ex-post risk adjustment mechanism, the Deferred Portion may be reduced if the capital and liquidity thresholds established to guarantee that payment occurs only if it is sustainable, in accordance with the Bank’s payment capacity, are not reached.
During the first half of 2025, executive directors received deferred variable remuneration from previous financial years, the payment of which was due after 2024 year-end, along with the update of their cash portion, in each case in accordance with the vesting and payment rules established in the remuneration policies applicable in each financial year:
–2023 Deferred AVR: the first payment of the Deferred STI (17.9% of the Deferred Portion) was made to the executive directors (€221 thousand and 38,821 shares in the case of the Chair and €166 thousand and 29,034 shares in the case of the Chief Executive Officer). Following this, the second payment of the deferred STI (17.9% of the Deferred Portion) and the 2023 LTI (64.2% of the Deferred Portion), the final amount of which will depend on the results of the long-term indicators established for its calculation once the measurement period ends (at 2026 year-end), which may range from 0% to 150%, remained deferred for both executive directors. If conditions are met, the second payment of the Deferred STI will be paid in 2026 and the three payments of the 2023 LTI will be made in 2027, 2028 and 2029.
–2022 Deferred AVR: the second payment (20% of the Deferred Portion) was made to the executive directors (€236 thousand and 56,941 shares in the case of the Chair and €181 thousand and 43,793 shares in the case of the Chief Executive Officer). Thereafter, 60% of the 2022 Deferred AVR remained deferred for both executive directors and, if the applicable conditions are met, will be paid in 2026, 2027, and 2028.
F-62
–2021 Deferred AVR: the third payment (20% of the Deferred Portion) was made to the executive directors (€228 thousand and 57,325 shares in the case of the Chair and €173 thousand and 43,552 shares in the case of the Chief Executive Officer). Thereafter, 40% of the 2021 Deferred AVR remained deferred for both executive directors and, if the applicable conditions are met, will be paid in 2026 and 2027.
–2020 Deferred AVR: given the exceptional circumstances arising from the COVID-19 crisis, executive directors voluntarily waived the accrual of the whole of their AVR corresponding to 2020 financial year.
–2019 Deferred AVR: the third and final payment (20% of the Deferred Portion) was made to the executive directors (€181 thousand and 45,529 shares in the case of the Chair and €163 thousand and 40,858 shares in the case of the Chief Executive Officer). This completed the payment of the 2019 Deferred AVR.

F-63
| VARIABLE REMUNERATION (THOUSANDS OF EUROS) | ||||||||
The accrual and award of the annual variable remuneration occurs, where applicable, after the end of the corresponding financial year, and therefore no amount corresponding to the first half of 2025 and 2024 is included in the information shown herein.
The amount of the annual variable remuneration for the 2025 financial year, which includes a short-term incentive and a long-term incentive, will be determined in 2026 and, if the conditions are met, the upfront portion (maximum 40%) will be paid in the first half of 2026. All of this would be done in accordance with the rules and conditions applicable to the annual variable remuneration established in the BBVA Group's General Remuneration Policy approved by the Board of Directors on March 29, 2023.
In the first half of the 2025 financial year, the members of Senior Management, excluding executive directors, were awarded the annual variable remuneration for the 2024 financial year, which includes short-term variable remuneration for a total combined amount of €7,226 thousand.
As part of the annual variable remuneration for the 2024 financial year, Senior Management members, excluding executive directors, have accrued the right to a long-term incentive for a maximum theoretical total amount of €4,569 thousand, which is equivalent to the sum of 150% of the target long-term incentive of each beneficiary. Once the measurement period for the long-term indicators established for its calculation has ended (at 2027 year-end), the final amount of each beneficiary's long-term incentive will be determined, which may range from 0% to 150% of the target long term incentive. Therefore, if 100% of the pre-established targets are achieved, this incentive will amount to a total combined amount of €3,046 thousand.
In accordance with the provisions of the BBVA Group’s General Remuneration Policy, in the first half of 2025, the members of Senior Management received the upfront portion of the annual variable remuneration for the 2024 financial year, in equal parts cash and BBVA shares, with the total amount paid to all members of Senior Management for this item amounting to €2,269 thousand and 234,203 shares.
The remaining amount of the annual variable remuneration for 2024 financial year (which includes the deferred portion of short-term variable remuneration and the whole of the long-term incentive for 2024 financial year), has been deferred, in cash and in shares and/or share-linked instruments, for a period of 4 or 5 years, in accordance with the vesting and payment rules applicable in each case, depending on the date of each member’s entry into the Senior Management team.
The final amount of the deferred portion of the annual variable remuneration for the 2024 financial year will depend on the result of the long-term indicators that shall be used to calculate the long-term incentive. Furthermore, and as an ex-post risk adjustment mechanism, the deferred portion of the annual variable remuneration may be reduced if the established capital and liquidity thresholds set to ensure that payment only occurs if it is sustainable based on the Bank's payment capacity, are not reached.
The members of Senior Management that were beneficiaries received, during the first half of 2025, the deferred variable remuneration from previous financial years, the payment of which was due once the 2024 financial year had ended, along with the update of its cash portion. The payment of these amounts has been made in accordance with the vesting and payment rules applicable in each case depending on the date of each member’s entry into the Senior Management team, as established in the remuneration policies applicable in each financial year:

The members of Senior Management received a combined total of €466 thousand and 112,536 shares.
–2020 Deferred AVR: given the exceptional circumstances arising from the COVID-19 crisis, all members of Senior Management voluntarily waived the whole of their 2020 AVR. Notwithstanding the above, one member of Senior Management, who was an executive of BBVA USA at the time, has been paid the second installment of the deferred portion of a success bonus on the sale of BBVA USA (€56 thousand and 14,340 shares).
–2019 Deferred AVR: the third and final payment was made, with the members of Senior Management receiving a combined total of €266 thousand and 65,941 shares.
