Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) reports strong 2025 results, with net attributable profit of €10.51 billion, up 19.2% at constant exchange rates, driven by higher net interest income and fees and a lower hyperinflation impact.

Gross income rose to €36.93 billion, while operating income grew over 20% at constant exchange rates and the efficiency ratio improved to 38.8%. Loans and advances to customers increased 11.6% and total customer funds grew 13.5%, supported by both deposits and mutual funds. Asset quality strengthened, with an NPL ratio of 2.7% and NPL coverage of 85%.

BBVA’s CET1 capital ratio stood at 12.70%, comfortably above its 9.28% requirement and 11.5–12.0% target range. The bank plans a total 2025 cash distribution equal to 50% of attributable profit, or €0.92 per share, and is executing up to €3.96 billion in share buybacks, after completing a separate €993 million program in 2025. Major business units in Spain, Mexico, Turkey and South America all delivered higher profits year-on-year.

Insights

BBVA posts robust 2025 growth, tight efficiency, strong capital and sizable shareholder payouts.

BBVA generated net attributable profit of €10.51 billion, with 19.2% growth at constant FX, supported by broad-based rises in net interest income and fees. Gross income reached €36.93 billion, while the efficiency ratio improved to 38.8%, indicating disciplined cost control despite inflationary pressures.

Credit quality metrics remain solid: the NPL ratio improved to 2.7% and coverage rose to 85%, even as loans grew 11.6% and provisions on financial assets increased 15.5%. This suggests BBVA is expanding while maintaining a conservative risk stance, particularly in Mexico and Turkey, where growth and provisioning both accelerated.

Capital strength is notable, with a 12.70% CET1 ratio versus a 9.28% requirement and total capital ratio of 17.21% as of December 31, 2025. Against this backdrop, BBVA combines a 50% cash payout (totaling €0.92 per share for 2025) with announced share buybacks of up to €3.96 billion, on top of a completed €993 million program. That mix of growth, asset quality and excess capital deployment would typically be viewed as strategically favorable.

Capital, liquidity and ratings all strengthened, supporting BBVA’s risk profile.

Regulatory ratios show ample buffers: CET1 at 12.70% against an 8.97% post‑SREP requirement from January 1, 2026, and total capital at 17.21% versus a 13.13% requirement. The leverage ratio was 6.15%, and MREL stood at 28.89% of RWA, comfortably above assigned minimums.

Liquidity metrics are also strong, with a Group LCR of 143% (or 169% without MPE limits) and NSFR at 126% as of December 31, 2025. Multiple wholesale issuances across AT1, Tier 2 and senior non‑preferred debt in Europe, Mexico and Turkey diversified funding and supported regulatory buffers.

Rating agencies recognized these fundamentals: S&P upgraded BBVA to A+, Moody’s to A2 and Fitch to A, all with stable outlooks, while DBRS reaffirmed A (high). These actions reflect the disclosed combination of strong profitability, resilient asset quality and solid capitalization, and reduce funding‑cost risk if maintained.

2025-2029 Strategic Plan
In 2025, the Group has made significant progress in the execution of its new 2025-2029 Strategic Plan, which aims to establish a
new axis of differentiation by radically incorporating the customer perspective, as well as driving and strengthening the Group's
commitment to growth and value creation. Thus, on July 31, the Group presented its financial objectives for the period 2025-2028,
which are part of the strategic plan presented at the beginning of the year.
image.jpg
BBVA continues to focus on innovation as a key driver for achieving these goals and continuing to lead the transformation of the
sector. Thanks to artificial intelligence and next-generation technologies, the Group amplifies its positive impact on customers,
helping them make the best decisions.
Results and business activity
In this context, the BBVA Group achieved a cumulative result of €10,511m, by the end of December 2025, representing an increase
of 4.5% over the previous year, supported by the strong performance of recurring revenues from the banking business If the
exchange rates variation is excluded, this growth increases to 19.2% favored by the solid evolution in gross income, which
increased by 16.3% in constant terms, with a growth rate that is significantly higher than that of operating expenses (+10.5% at
constant exchange rates, impacted by an environment of still high inflation). As a result of this evolution, the efficiency ratio stood
at 38.8% as of December 31, 2025, which represents an improvement of 206 basis points compared to December 31, 2024.
The provisions for impairment on financial assets increased by 15.5% compared to the balances at the end of 2024 and at
constant exchange rates, a rate that is below the growth in lending, 16.2% also at constant exchange rates.

January - December 2025 Report - p.5
During 2025 the Group maintained a limited credit gap, supported by a solid capacity to raise stable funding. The increased
dynamism of lending activity was accompanied by sustained growth in customer base deposits, allowing the Group to absorb the
increase in lending without creating structural tensions on the balance sheet. As a result, the Group's funding profile remained
aligned with the principles of prudent liquidity management, reinforcing balance sheet stability and the resilience of the business
model in a still challenging macroeconomic environment.
In particular, in 2025, loans and advances to customers increased by 11.6%, driven by the dynamism of the wholesale segment. Of
particular note within this segment was the higher volume of loans to business, which grew by 14.2% at the Group level. Loans to
individuals increased by 8.3%, with consumer and mortgage loans showing greater dynamism.
Customer funds grew by 13.5% during the year, boosted by both customer deposits, which increased by 12.3% at Group level, and
by mutual funds and customer portfolios, which grew by 17.2%.

Business areas
According to the accumulated results of the business areas by the end of December 2025, in each of them it is worth mentioning:
Spain generated a net attributable profit of €4,175m, that is, 11.3% above the result achieved in the same period of 2024,
driven by the evolution of the recurring revenue from the banking business.
BBVA Mexico achieved a cumulative net attributable profit of €5,264m, which represents a year-on-year growth of 5.7%,
excluding the impact of the Mexican peso, explained mainly by the favorable evolution of the net interest income.
Turkey reached a net attributable profit of €805m, with a year-on-year growth of 31.8%, as a result of the good
performance of net interest income and a less negative hyperinflation impact.
South America generated a net attributable profit of €726m in 2025, which represents a year-on-year growth of 14.3%,
favored by an improved net attributable profit in Peru and Colombia and a less negative hyperinflation adjustment in
Argentina.
Rest of Business achieved an accumulated net attributable profit of €627m, 29.4% higher than in the same period of the
previous year, favored by the evolution of the recurring revenues and the net trading income (hereinafter, NTI).
The Corporate Center recorded a net attributable loss of €-1,086m.
1 The additional pro forma information from CIB excludes the application of hyperinflation accounting and the Group's wholesale business in Venezuela.
2 As of 31-12-2025, there were no differences between fully loaded and phased-in ratios given that the impact associated with the transitional adjustments is nil.
3 Considering the latest official updates to the countercyclical capital buffer and the systemic risk buffer, applied on the basis of exposure as of September 30, 2025,
and incorporating the increase in the percentage of the countercyclical capital buffer applicable to exposures located in Spain approved by the Bank of Spain and
published on October 1, 2025, applied on that exposure basis. For its part, as of January 1, 2026, the minimum regulatory requirement for the Group would be reduced
to 8.97%, in accordance with the outcome of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) communicated by the European Central Bank (ECB).

Lastly, and for a better understanding of the Group's activity and results, supplementary information is provided below for the
wholesale business, Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB), carried out by BBVA in the countries where it operates. CIB generated
a net attributable profit of €3,073m1. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, this result represents a 31.9% increase over
the previous year, which reflects again the strength of the Group's wholesale businesses, with the aim of offering a value
proposition focused on the needs of its customers.

Solvency
The BBVA Group's CET12 ratio stood at 12.70% as of December 31, 2025, which allows it to maintain a large management buffer
over the Group's CET1 requirement as of that date (9.28%3), and is also above the Group's target management range of 11.5% -
12.0% of CET1.
Shareholder remuneration
Regarding shareholder remuneration, a cash gross distribution in the amount of €0.60 per share for each of the outstanding
shares entitled to receive said distribution, to be paid presumably on April as final dividend of 2025 is expected to be submitted to
the relevant governing bodies for consideration. Thus, the total distribution for the 2025 financial year will be 50% of the
attributable profit, with a cash distribution of €0.92 per share, taking into account that in November 2025, €0.32 gross was
distributed in cash for each of the outstanding shares entitled to receive said distribution as an interim dividend for the year.

January - December 2025 Report - p.7
Macroeconomic environment
The global economy has shown greater strength than expected during 2025 given the high levels of uncertainty, trade and
geopolitical tensions, and the United States administration's immigration restrictions. The negative effects of protectionist policies
have been mitigated by lower effective tariffs than initially announced, fiscal stimulus and the strong growth in investment in
artificial intelligence, particularly in the United States. Low financial volatility, supported by the Federal Reserve's (hereinafter, Fed)
expansionary monetary policy, has also supported global activity.
Overall, BBVA Research anticipates that global growth will reach 3.2% in 2025, two tenths above the previous scenario, and will
stand at 3.1% in 2026. For the United States, better than expected performance in recent months raises the growth forecast for
2025 to 2.0% (three tenths higher the previous forecast) and 1.9% for 2026 (one tenth higher). In the case of the Eurozone, the
expectation of a gradual slowdown in activity remains: compared to GDP growth of 1.4% in 2025 (one tenth higher than the
previous forecast), in 2026 it could be 1.1%, in a context where the impact of tariffs and political instability in some countries in the
bloc could be partially offset by increased spending on defense and infrastructure. In China, the economic growth could close 2025
with an increase of 5%, equal to that of 2024 and two tenths higher than previously forecast. For 2026, BBVA Research maintains
its expectations of moderation, with annual growth of 4.5%.
The tariff increase is expected to push inflation in the United States to around 3% by the end of 2026, limiting the Fed's scope for
interest rate cuts. Following the cuts in 2025, which brought the benchmark rate to 3.75%, BBVA Research forecasts two
additional rate cuts to 3.25%. In the Eurozone, the ECB is expected to keep the deposit facility interest rate unchanged (at 2%) if
inflationary pressures remain contained (the headline rate closed 2025 at 2.0% and could remain around this level at the end of
2026) and downside risks to growth do not intensify. In China, monetary conditions are likely to continue to ease given the current
context of very low inflation.
The balance of risks for the global economy remains weighted to the downside, but somewhat more balanced than in the previous
scenario. In addition to protectionist measures in trade and immigration, and the structural challenges facing Europe and China,
other negative factors include increased geopolitical tensions (potential interventions of the United States in Latin America, the
Middle East or the Arctic) and uncertainty about the Fed's independence and its potential impact on financial markets. On a
positive note, however it is worth mentioning the boost in investment in artificial intelligence and its medium-term effect on the
productivity of economies that promote its adoption.

Group
Results
The BBVA Group achieved a cumulative result of €10,511m, by the end of December 2025, representing an increase of 4.5% over
the previous year, supported by the strong performance of recurring revenues from the banking business. If the exchange rates
variation is excluded, this growth increases to 19.2%, mainly due to the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro during
the year.

BBVA Group's net attributable profit for the fourth quarter of 2025 was €2,533m, very much in line with that achieved in the
previous quarter, with good performance in all components of the gross income, particularly the net interest income, which was
partially offset by the growth in operating expenses and the impairment on financial assets.

Unless expressly indicated otherwise, for a better understanding of the changes under the main headings of the Group's income
statement, the rates of change provided below refer to constant exchange rates. When comparing two dates or periods presented
in this report, the impact of changes in the exchange rates against the euro of the currencies of the countries in which BBVA
operates is sometimes excluded, assuming that exchange rates remain constant. For this purpose, the average exchange rate of
the currency of each geographical area of the most recent period is used for both periods, except for those countries whose
economies have been considered hyperinflationary, for which the closing exchange rate of the most recent period is used.
The accumulated net interest income as of December 31, 2025 was 13.9% higher than in the same period of the previous year,
mainly driven by the evolution in Turkey and Mexico, and, to a lesser extent, Spain, Rest of Business and South America. Moreover,
net interest income over average total assets has shown a favorable evolution over the last few quarters, reflecting greater
efficiency in the management of the traditional banking business. The growing trend shown by this indicator in 2025 is evidence of
the bank's capacity to generate solid interest income.
Likewise, net fees and commissions experienced a year-on-year growth of 14.6%, with growth in all business areas. By type, the
performance of fees from payment methods stood out, and to a lesser extent, asset management net fees and commissions.
As a result of this favorable evolution of the net interest income and net fees and commissions, overall recurring banking business
revenues grew by 14.1% compared to 2024.

The NTI showed a 23.7% year-on-year decrease at the end of December 2025, mainly due to the lower results of Turkey and the
Corporate Center.
The other operating income and expenses line accumulated, as of December 31, 2025, a significantly improved result compared to
the same period of the previous year. This is due to a lower negative impact in 2025 derived from the hyperinflation in Argentina
and Turkey compared with the same period of 2024, as well as to the recording in Spain in the first quarter of 2024 of the total
annual amount of the temporary tax on credit institutions and financial credit establishments for €285m. On the other hand, the
results of the insurance business, also included in this line, had a positive evolution.

January - December 2025 Report - p.11
Thanks to the solid evolution in gross income, which increased by 16.3%, well above the rate of growth in operating expenses,
(+10.5%), the efficiency ratio stood at 38.8% as of December 31, 2025, which represents an improvement of 206 basis points
compared to the ratio as of December 31, 2024, at constant exchange rates. Within the growth in operating expenses, the increase
in fixed remuneration to the staff and expenses in technology and advertising stand out.

The impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss (impairment on financial assets) stood at
15.5% at the end of December 2025 higher than in the same period of the previous year, which is partly explained by the higher
volume of retail portfolios. Turkey and Mexico were the main business areas that required an increase in the level of provisions,
which was partially offset by lower needs in South America and, to a lesser extent, in Spain.

January - December 2025 Report - p.12
The provisions or reversal of provisions line (hereinafter provisions) registered at the end of December 31, 2025 higher provisions
(+85.9% year-on-year), with growth mainly in Turkey and Mexico.
On the other hand, the other gains (losses) line ended December 2025, 27.3% higher than 2024, partly due to improved
performance in the real estate assets.
Income tax includes the accrual corresponding to the tax on net interest income and net fees and commissions in Spain for 2025,
which amounted to approximately €318m.
As a result of the above, the BBVA Group reached a net attributable profit of €10,511m accumulated during 2025, showing a
significant growth of 19.2% compared to the previous year. This solid result is supported by the positive evolution of the recurring
banking business revenues, which have been able to offset the increase in operating expenses and in the provisions for impairment
losses on financial assets. In addition, there was a less negative hyperinflation impact compared to one in 2024.
The net attributable profits, in millions of euros and accumulated at the end of December 2025 for the business areas that
compose the Group were as follows: 4,175 in Spain, 5,264 in Mexico, 805 in Turkey, 726 in South America and 627 in Rest of
Business.

The Group's excellent performance has also allowed it to continue generating value, as is reflected in the growth of the tangible

year.

Balance sheet and business activity
During 2025, loans and advances to customers increased by 11.6%, driven by the dynamism of the wholesale segment. Of
particular note within this segment was the higher volume of loans to business, which grew by 14.2% at the Group level. Loans to
individuals increased by 8.3%, with consumer and mortgage loans showing greater dynamism (14.0% and 5.4%, respectively). All
business areas performed well, with Rest of Business standing out.
Customer funds grew by 13.5% during the year, boosted by both customer deposits, which increased by 12.3% at Group level, and
by mutual funds and customer portfolios, which grew by 17.2%.

January - December 2025 Report - p.16
Capital and shareholders
Capital base
The BBVA Group's CET1 ratio4 stood at 12.70% as of December 31, 2025, which allows it to maintain a large management buffer
over the Group's CET1 requirement as of that date (9.28%5), and is also above the Group's target management range of 11.5% -
12.0% of CET1.
Regarding the evolution during the fourth quarter, the Group’s CET1 decreased by -72 basis points with respect to the September
level (13.42%).
Regarding the recurring aspects that impact the ratio, it is worth noting the strong earnings generation during the fourth quarter,
which contributed +64 basis points to the ratio. The provision for dividends and the coupon payments on AT1 instruments (CoCos)
subtracted -34 basis points. Organic growth in risk-weighted assets (RWA) at constant exchange rates, which net of risk transfer
initiatives, represents a consumption of -57 basis points, reflecting, once again, the Group's ability to continue reinvesting in new
growth.
Meanwhile, among the other impacts whose aggregate has not had a significant effect on the ratio (4 basis point), it is worth
highlighting the positive compensatory effect on "Other Comprehensive Income" offsetting the negative impact in the income
statement from the loss on the net monetary position recorded in the financial statements of the subsidiaries operating in
hyperinflationary economies and the negative effects of the exchange rate and other market variables.
On the other hand, noteworthy is the positive effect of regulatory impacts that have resulted in +56 basis points and the impact of
-105 basis points from the extraordinary share buyback program (SBB) announced in December 2025 for a maximum amount of
€3.96 billion.

January - December 2025 Report - p.17
The AT1 ratio stood at 1.38%, a slight decrease of -1 basis point compared to September 30, 2025. This change is due to organic
growth in RWA, partially offset by exchange rate effects. The issuance of €1 billion in contingent convertible bonds (CoCos) by
BBVA, S.A. in November 2025 was offset by the redemption of another issuance of the same amount, announced in December of
the same year.
Meanwhile, the Tier 2 ratio reached 3.13%, experiencing a significant increase (+19 basis points) during the quarter, primarily
impacted by a USD 700m subordinated bond issuance by Garanti BBVA in October 2025.
As a consequence of the foregoing, the consolidated total capital ratio stood at 17.21% as of December 31, 2025, above the total
capital requirements.
Following the latest decision of the SREP (Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process), which came into force on January 1, 2026,
BBVA Group must maintain at consolidated level a total capital ratio of 13.13%6 and a CET1 capital ratio of 8.97%6, including a
Pillar 2 requirement at consolidated level of 1.62% (a minimum of 0.96% must be satisfied with CET1), of which 0.12% is
determined on the basis of the European Central Bank (ECB) prudential provisioning expectations, and must be satisfied by CET1.

⁽¹⁾ Preliminary data.
On June 12, 2025 the Group made public that it had received a communication from the Bank of Spain regarding its MREL
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%8, not taking into account the current9 combined buffer requirement (CBR) of 3.97%. In
addition, BBVA must keep, 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 8.59% (the “MREL in LR”)10.
Given the structure of the resolution group's own funds and eligible liabilities, as of December 31, 2025, the Group meets the
aforementioned requirements.

Shareholder remuneration
Cash distributions
During the 2025 financial year, the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting and the Board of Directors approved the payment of the
following cash amounts:
The Annual General Shareholders' Meeting of BBVA held on March 21, 2025, approved, under item 1.3 of the Agenda,
such cash distribution against the 2024 results as a final dividend for the 2024 financial year, for an amount equal to
€0.41 gross (€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 dividends paid in respect of treasury shares held by the
Group's companies other than BBVA, S.A., amounted to €2,357 million.
By means of an inside information notice (información privilegiada) dated September 29, 2025, BBVA announced that the
Board of Directors had approved the payment of a cash interim dividend of €0.32 gross (€0.2592 net of withholding tax)
per each outstanding BBVA share entitled to participate in this distribution, which was paid on November 7, 2025. The
total amount paid, excluding dividends paid in respect of treasury shares held by the Group's companies other than
BBVA, S.A., amounted to €1,840 million.
A cash gross distribution in the amount of €0.60 per share for each of the outstanding shares entitled to receive said distribution,
to be paid presumably on April as final dividend of 2025 is expected to be submitted to the relevant governing bodies for
consideration. Thus, the total distribution for the 2025 financial year will be 50% of the attributable profit, with a cash distribution
of €0.92 per share, taking into account that in November 2025, €0.32 gross was distributed in cash for each of the outstanding
shares entitled to receive said distribution as an interim dividend for the year.
Share buyback programs
On January 30, 2025, BBVA announced, among other matters, the execution of a share buyback program of BBVA shares, with
the purpose of reducing BBVA’s share capital, for a monetary amount of €993 million, subject to obtaining the corresponding

share capital, all in accordance with the Regulations, for a maximum monetary amount of €993 million. The execution was carried
out externally by Citigroup Global Markets Europe AG.11 By means of an Other Relevant Information notice dated December 10,
2025, BBVA announced the completion of the share buyback program upon reaching the maximum monetary amount, having
acquired a total of 54,316,765 BBVA shares, between October 31 and December 10, 2025, representing, approximately, 0.93% of

partial execution of the share capital reduction resolution adopted by the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting of BBVA held on
March 21, 2025, under item 3 of the Agenda, through the reduction of BBVA’s share capital in a nominal amount of €26,615,214.85
and the consequent redemption, charged to unrestricted reserves, of the 54,316,765 BBVA shares of €0.49 par value each
acquired derivatively by BBVA in execution of the aforementioned BBVA share buyback program and which were held as treasury
shares.
On December 19, 2025, and after receiving the required authorization from the ECB, BBVA announced, by means of an Inside

Ratings
Several rating agencies have recognized the favorable evolution of BBVA’s fundamentals. Towards the end of the year, the three
main international rating agencies (S&P, Moody’s, and Fitch) upgraded BBVA’s rating, reflecting their positive view of the Group’s
sound financial profile supported by strong profitability and resilient asset quality. In September, S&P raised BBVA’s rating from A
to A+, maintaining a stable outlook and highlighting the robustness of returns and BBVA’s financial strength. In October, Moody’s
upgraded the rating from A3 to A2, shifting the outlook from “Rating Watch Positive” to stable, and noted the improvement in the
bank’s credit profile, particularly in terms of profitability. Fitch also upgraded BBVA’s rating in October, including senior preferred
debt, from A- to A. The outlook was changed to stable, following an earlier revision from stable to positive in February and the
placement on “Rating Watch Positive” in May. DBRS confirmed its rating of A (high) with a stable outlook in February. The

Risk management
In global context whose evolution will continue to be highly conditioned by the uncertainty represented by the United States
administration's policies implemented in recent months, economic activity in the countries where BBVA operates continued to
reflect a generally good dynamic in terms of economic growth, as well as in the indicators of the financial system. In Spain, the
growth forecast for 2025 has been revised slightly downward (+2.9%), one tenth below the previous forecast and inflation is
expected to remain at moderate levels, closing the year at around +2.9%, with a comfortable level of solvency and liquidity in the
system. In Mexico, growth forecasts remain unchanged, with GDP estimated at around +0.7% for 2025, in a context of relatively
moderate and stable inflation in the last quarter, and with credit in the banking system growing at around +7.2% year-on-year, with
data at the end of November. Turkey, on the other hand, has shown significant growth in recent months, with inflation moderating
and banking system risk indicators at contained levels. Finally, the decline in political instability and lower exchange rate tensions
in Argentina have helped to maintain the positive outlook for economic activity in the region, against a backdrop of contained
inflation and the expectations of stable interest rates in Colombia and Peru following the last cuts.
Credit risk
For the estimation of expected losses, the models include individual and collective estimates, taking into account the
macroeconomic forecasts as established in IFRS 9. In this regard, the estimate at the end of the quarter includes the effect on
expected losses of updating macroeconomic forecasts, which take into account the global environment, although they may not
fully reflect the most recent developments in the economic environment, especially in contexts of high uncertainty and volatility or
with respect to very recent events still underway. Additionally, the Group may complement the expected losses by considering
additional risk drivers, or by incorporating sectorial particularities or those that may affect a set of operations or borrowers,
following a formal internal process established for the purpose.

January - December 2025 Report - p.23
The evolution of the Group’s main credit risk indicators is summarized below:
In terms of asset quality, the NPL ratio stood at 2.7% as of December 31, 2025, which is an improvement of 6 basis points
compared to the previous quarter, mainly driven by the performance of lending, which increased in all business areas,
particularly in Rest of Business. When compared to the end of December 2024, a 33 basis points improvement is
observed, driven by loan growth and the containment of non-performing loans (notably the reduction in Spain, which
offset the increase in Turkey).

chart-fbc17abe2d914d6fb1a.gif
Credit risk increased by 6.0% in the fourth quarter of the year (+5.8% at constant exchange rates) with generalized
growth in all geographical areas, and highlighting, in percentage terms, the variation in Turkey and Rest of Business.
Growth in the last twelve months exceeded double digits, standing at 12.1% (+17.3% at constant exchange rates),
showing greater dynamism than in 2024.
The balance of non-performing loans increased by 3.5% in the fourth quarter of 2025 at the Group level, although it
remained practically stable year-on-year, compared to the close of the previous year (+2.8% at constant exchange rates).
At constant exchange rates, the quarterly variation stood at 3.3%, focused on Turkey, as a result of the increase in non-
performing loans in the retail portfolio, and to a lesser extent, by the more moderate growth in Mexico and South America
and a virtually stable quarter in Spain, supported by the performance of the mortgage portfolio.
The NPL coverage ratio ended December 2025 at 85%, which represents an increase of 145 basis points compared to the
previous quarter (and an increase of 473 basis points compared to the end of December 2024), mainly due to higher
coverage in Spain and, to a lesser extent, Mexico and Rest of Business.
The cumulative cost of risk as of December 31, 2025 stood at 1.39%, with an improvement of 4 basis points compared to
the end of December 2024 and 5 basis points above the previous quarter. All business areas recorded a year-on-year
improvement in this indicator, except for Turkey, in line with expectations.

⁽²⁾ The NPL coverage ratio includes the valuation adjustments for credit risk throughout the expected residual life in those financial instruments that have been
acquired (mainly originating from the acquisition of Catalunya Banc, S.A.). If these valuation corrections had not been taken into account, the NPL coverage ratio
would have stood at 84% as of December 31, 2025.

Structural risks
Liquidity and funding
Liquidity and funding management at BBVA is aimed at driving sustained growth of the banking business, through access to a wide
variety of alternative sources of funding and assuring 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 degree of insurance in each geographical area, close to 50% in Spain and
Mexico. It is important to note that, given the nature of BBVA's business, lending is mainly financed through stable customer
funds.
One of the key elements in the BBVA Group's liquidity and funding management is the maintenance of large 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 €134 billion, 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 a 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 with their own rating). This
strategy limits the spread of a liquidity crisis among the Group's different areas and ensures the adequate transmission of the cost
of liquidity and financing to the price formation process.
The BBVA Group maintains a solid liquidity position in every geographical area in which it operates, with ratios well above 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 comfortably above 100% during 2025 and stood at 143% as of
December 31, 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 162% in BBVA, S.A., 161% in Mexico and 159% in Turkey). Without considering this
restriction, the Group's LCR ratio was 169%.
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 December 31, 2025.
The breakdown of these ratios in the main geographical areas in which the Group operates is shown below:

January - December 2025 Report - p.26
In addition to the above, the most relevant aspects related to the main geographical areas are the following:
BBVA, S.A. has maintained a strong position with a large high-quality liquidity buffer, maintaining at all times the
regulatory liquidity metrics well above the set minimums. During 2025, commercial activity showed dynamism in
attracting customer deposits, mainly from wholesale clients, supported equally by retail clients and the new digital bank in
Germany. Regarding lending activity, there has been a significant boost from wholesale business units. Growth in both
areas has resulted in a narrowing of the credit gap.
BBVA Mexico showed a solid liquidity situation, with a credit gap that has improved over the year, mainly due to strong
deposit growth in local currency. In addition, the liquidity situation has been reinforced by wholesale debt issued carried
out in both, the Mexican peso and the U.S. dollar.
In Turkey, Garanti BBVA maintained an adequate liquidity situation in 2025. Thus, the lending gap has reduced
significantly in foreign currencies due to a strong increase in deposits. On the other hand, an increase in the credit gap in
Turkish lira has been observed due to the strong growth in lending, which exceeded that of deposits. Wholesale issuances
in foreign currency have supported the liquidity situation.
In South America, the liquidity situation has also remained adequate throughout the region in 2025. In BBVA Argentina, at
constant exchange rate, the credit gap improved in Argentine pesos despite strong loan growth due to the boost in time
deposits. In the U.S. dollar balance sheet, at constant exchange rate, the growth of loans exceeded fund gathering, thus
widening the credit gap in this currency. In BBVA Colombia, the liquidity situation is adequate, even though the credit gap
widened in 2025, with a sustained growth of loans that slightly exceeded the volume of fund gathering. At BBVA Peru, the
liquidity situation remains solid, with a credit gap that has widened during the year due to the dynamism of lending
activity, especially in U.S. dollars.
The main wholesale financing transactions carried out by the BBVA Group during 2025 are listed below.

January - December 2025 Report - p.27
Throughout 2025, Garanti BBVA issued a total of USD 3,847m of short-term senior MTNs (Medium term notes) in order to roll
over maturities and generate liquidity. In June 2025, it renewed 100% of a sustainable syndicated loan in two tranches for a total
amount of USD 440m. In July Garanti BBVA completed the issuance of subordinated bonds for a total amount of USD 500m. In
October 2025, another subordinated bond issue was made for USD 700m. In November Garanti BBVA issued Turkey's first
biodiversity bond, worth USD 20.22m. Finally, in December 2025, Garanti BBVA formalized a sustainability focused syndicated
loan for a total amount of USD 428m.
In 2025, through successive placements, BBVA Argentina issued bonds for a total amount of 244 billion Argentine pesos and USD
192m. The equivalent amount in euros of these issues stands at €306m.
In April 2025, the subordinated biodiversity bond subscribed by BBVA Colombia with the International Finance Corporation (IFC)
for an amount of USD 45m was disbursed.
In Peru, BBVA issued USD 200m in the form of gender-based social bonds targeting women entrepreneurs, executed in two
tranches in the first and third quarters of 2025, in partnership with BID Invest, FMO (Netherlands Development Bank) and COFIDE
(Corporación Financiera de Desarrollo S.A.).
Foreign exchange
Foreign exchange risk management aims to reduce both the sensitivity of the capital ratios to currency movements, as well as the
variability of profit attributed to currency movements.
During 2025, the U.S. dollar depreciated significantly against the euro (-11.6%). This depreciation was concentrated in the first half
of the year, when the aggressiveness of U.S. tariff policy generated a climate of distrust towards the U.S. dollar. Among emerging
market currencies, the Mexican peso stood out with an appreciation (+2.0% against the euro), supported by the perception of
Mexico as a relative winner of the trade war. The Turkish lira was heavily penalized in 2025 (-27.2%), reflecting high inflation, which
is nevertheless gradually declining. Regarding the performance of South American currencies, the Peruvian sol weakened against
the euro (-1.2%), the Colombian peso showed a notable appreciation (+3.8%), while the Chilean peso depreciated by -2.9%.
Finally, the Argentine peso experienced a very significant depreciation (-37.4%), in an environment still marked by macroeconomic
adjustments and high financial volatility, despite progress in the economic stabilization process.

January - December 2025 Report - p.28
In relation to the hedging of capital ratios, BBVA aims to cover in aggregate, between 50% and 70% of its subsidiaries' capital
excess. The sensitivity of the Group's CET1 ratio to 10% depreciations in major currencies is estimated at: +12 basis points for the
U.S. dollar, -14 basis points for the Mexican peso and -3 basis points for the Turkish lira12. With regard to the hedging of results,
BBVA hedges between 40% and 50% of the aggregate net attributable profit it expects to generate in the next 12 months. For
each currency, the final amount hedged depends, among other factors, on its expected future evolution, the costs and the
relevance of the income related to the Group's results as a whole.
Interest rate
Interest rate risk management seeks to limit the impact that BBVA may suffer, both in terms of results (short-term) and economic
value (long-term), from adverse movements in the interest rate curves in the various currencies in which the Group operates.
BBVA carries out this work through an internal procedure, pursuant to the guidelines established by the European Banking
Authority (EBA), with the aim of analyzing the potential impact that could derive from a range of scenarios on the Group's different
balance sheets.
Risk measurement is based on assumptions intended to realistically mimic the behavior of the balance sheet. The assumptions
regarding the behavior of accounts with no explicit maturity and prepayment estimates are especially relevant. These assumptions
are reviewed and adapted, at least once a year according to the evolution in observed behaviors.
At the aggregate level, BBVA continues to maintain a moderate risk profile in line with the target set in the changing interest rate
cycle environment maintaining positive sensitivity to interest rate rises in net interest income.
The year 2025 has been influenced by the geopolitical context, notably the increase in the United States tariffs, as well as
developments and expectations regarding inflation and central bank actions. In the United States, there have been declines across
the entire interest rate curve due to the deceleration signs and greater prospects for interest rate cuts by the Fed. In contrast,
Europe has seen a rebound in yields, particularly at the long end of the curve, mainly due to the change of course in Germany's
fiscal policy. The peripheral curves are still supported with spreads against German bonds narrowing over the year. In Mexico, the
sovereign curve has fallen in line with United States rates. In Turkey, yield curves were more volatile as a result of both the political
situation and inflation trends and expectations. However, it is worth noting the favorable performance of credit default swaps
(CDS) and sovereign bonds denominated in hard currency since March. Lastly, in South America, the curves show mixed
performance, with upturns in some regions, such as Colombia, and downturns in others, such as Peru. Overall, ALCO13 portfolios
have performed positively in 2025.
By geographical areas:
Spain has a balance sheet characterized by a lending portfolio with a high proportion of variable-rate loans (mortgages
and corporate lending) and liabilities composed mainly by customer demand deposits. The ALCO portfolio acts as a
management lever and hedge for the balance sheet, mitigating its sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. The exposure of
the net interest income to movements in interest rates remains limited. The ECB has cut interest rates by a total of 100
basis points throughout the year until its meeting in July 2025, due to the convergence of inflation towards the target,
maintaining the rates without changes in its last meeting in December 2025. Thus, the benchmark interest rate in the
euro area stood at 2.15% at the end of December 2025, the rate on the deposit facility at 2.00% and the rate on the
marginal lending facility at 2.40%.
Mexico continues to show a balance between fixed and variable interest rates balances, which results in a limited
sensitivity to interest rates fluctuations. Among the assets that are most sensitive to interest rate changes, the
commercial portfolio stood out, while consumer and mortgage portfolios are mostly at a fixed rate. With regard to
customer funds, the high proportion of non-interest-bearing deposits, which are insensitive to interest rate movements,
should be highlighted. The ALCO portfolio is invested primarily in fixed-rate sovereign bonds with limited durations. The
monetary policy rate stood at 7.0% at the end of December 2025, 300 basis points below the end of 2024.

January - December 2025 Report - p.29
In Turkey, the sensitivity of net interest income to rates remains limited in both local and foreign currencies, thanks to the
bank's management, with a low repricing gap between loans and deposits. The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey
(CBRT) has continued its monetary easing process, supported by improved inflation setting the monetary policy rate at
38.0% at the end of December 2025, which represents a decrease of 950 basis points since the end of December of the
previous year.
In South America, the sensitivity of net interest income continues to be limited, since most of the countries in the area
have a fixed/variable composition stable between assets and liabilities. In addition, in balance sheets with several
currencies, the interest rate risk is managed for each of the currencies, showing a very low level of exposure. Regarding
benchmark interest rates, in Argentina, the central bank abandoned the official interest rate as a monetary anchor and
began to regulate the monetary base using other tools such as setting reserve requirements or intervening in the foreign
exchange market for its management. In Colombia, the reference rate stood at 9.25% at the end of December 2025, 25
basis points below the end of 2024.In Peru the official monetary policy rate closed at 4.25% as of December 2025, 75
basis points below the previous year's closing level.

Business areas
This section presents the most relevant aspects of the Group's different business areas. Specifically, for each one of them, it
shows a summary of the income statements and balance sheets, the business activity figures and the most significant ratios.
The structure of the business areas reported by the BBVA Group on December 31, 2025 is the same as the one presented at the
end of 2024.
The composition of BBVA Group's business areas is summarized below:
Spain mainly includes the banking, insurance and asset management activities that the Group carries out in this country.
Mexico includes banking, insurance and asset management activities in this country, as well as the activity that BBVA
Mexico carries out through its Houston agency.
Turkey reports the activity of the group Garanti BBVA 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 activities conducted, 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,
BBVA’s branches in Asia, as well as the digital banks of the Group in Italy and Germany.
The Corporate Center contains the centralized functions of the Group, including: the costs of the head offices with a corporate
function for the consolidated BBVA Group; structural exchange rate positions management; certain portfolios, such as financial
and industrial holdings; stakes in Funds & Investment Vehicles in tech companies; certain tax assets and liabilities; funds due to
commitments to employees; goodwill and other intangible assets as well as portfolios and assets' funding. Finally, in the
description of this aggregate, it is worth mentioning that the Corporate Center's tax expense includes for each interim period the
difference between the effective tax rate in the period of each business area and the expected tax rate of the Group for the year as
a whole.
In addition to these geographical breakdowns, supplementary pro forma information is provided for the wholesale business,
Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB), carried out by BBVA in the countries where it operates. This business is relevant to have a
broader understanding of the Group's activity and results due to the important features of the type of customers served, products
offered and risks assumed, even if this is a pro forma information that does not include the wholesale business of the Group in
Venezuela nor the application of the hyperinflation accounting.
To prepare the information by business areas, which is presented under management criteria based on the financial information
used in the preparation of the financial statements, in general, the lowest level units and/or companies that make up the Group are
taken and assigned to the different areas according to the main region or company group in which they carry out their activity. In
relation to the information related to the business areas, in the first quarter of 2025 the Group carried out the reassignment of
certain activities, which has affected Spain, Rest of Business and the Corporate Center, as well as CIB's pro forma supplementary
information. Therefore, in order to make those year-on-year comparisons homogeneous, the figures for year 2024 have been
revised, which has not affected the consolidated financial information of the Group.
Regarding the shareholders' funds allocation in the business areas, a capital allocation system based on the consumed regulatory
capital is used.
Finally, it should be noted that, as usual, in the case of the different business areas of Mexico, Turkey, South America and Rest of
Business, and, additionally, CIB, in addition to the year-on-year variations applying current exchange rates, the variations at
constant exchange rates are also disclosed.

January - December 2025 Report - p.35
Macro and industry trends
Economic growth remained solid during the third quarter of 2025 and the outlook going forward remains relatively positive.
Activity is expected to continue to be supported by resilient services exports, a recovery in construction investment, and growth of
private consumption, in the context of accommodative monetary conditions and rising wages. The acceleration of European
Recovery Funds and the boost in defense spending could also help support demand and economic growth in the coming months.
According to BBVA research, GDP growth is very likely to stand at 2.9% in 2025, one tenth lower than the previous forecast. By
2026, growth is expected to gradually moderate to rates of 2.4% due to factors such as global protectionism, reduced fiscal
support, limited productivity gains and supply constraints in sectors such as housing. Meanwhile, headline inflation remained
around 3% during the last quarter of 2025, closing the year at 2.9%. For 2026, a slight reduction in the overall rate is expected,
reaching 2.6% by the end of the year.
As for the banking system, with data at the end of November 2025, the volume of credit to the private sector grew by 3.2% year-
on-year, with higher growth in the portfolios of credit to households (+4.1%) than in credit to non-financial companies (+2.5%).
System credit grew in 2024 for the first time since 2009 (with the exception of 2020 due to COVID support measures), a trend
that is confirmed in 2025. Customer deposits grew by 4.9% year-on-year in November 2025, due to an 7.0% increase in demand
deposits, which amply offset the reduction of 6.6% in time deposits. The NPL ratio stood at 2.84% in October 2025, 57 basis
points lower than in October of last year. It should also be noted that the system maintains comfortable levels of solvency and
liquidity.
Activity
The most relevant aspects related to the area's activity during 2025 were:
Lending balances were 8.0% higher than at the end of December 2024, mainly driven by the performance of the
wholesale segments. Thus, lending to large-sized companies (which includes corporate banking and CIB portfolios) grew
by 18.3%, lending to the public sector by 15.6%, and lending to medium-sized companies by 10.7%. Meanwhile, in the
retail segment, mortgage and consumer loans (including credit cards) increased at rates of 2.5% and 9.0% respectively.
Total customer funds grew by 8.9%, with an increase in off-balance sheet funds (mutual and pension funds and customer
portfolios) of 10.0%, driven by net contributions made throughout the year and a very positive market effect and an
increase of 8.4% in customer deposits.
The most relevant aspects related to the area's activity during the fourth quarter of 2025 were:
Growth in lending activity compared to September (+2.5%), with corporate and CIB lending performing particularly well
(+5.1%), followed by consumer loans (+3.4% including credit cards).
Regarding asset quality, the NPL ratio stood at 3.0%, with a decrease of 8 basis points compared to the end of
September, driven by the evolution of activity and the stability of non-performing loans, contributing to an increase in the
coverage ratio of 222 basis points in the quarter, to 67% at the end of December 2025.
Total customer funds grew in total by 3.5% in the fourth quarter of 2025, of which 3.8% refers to customer deposits and
3.0% to off-balance sheet funds, with positive net contributions and market effects in the last three months of 2025.

January - December 2025 Report - p.36
Results
Spain generated a net attributable profit of €4,175m in 2025, which is 11.3% above the result achieved in the same period of 2024,
driven by the evolution of the recurring revenue from the banking business.
The most relevant aspects of the year-on-year evolution of the area's income statement at the end of December 2025 were:
Net interest income grew by 3.2%, supported by the higher contribution from the securities portfolio, increased lending
activity and contained cost of liabilities, which offset the lower returns on loans associated with lower interest rates.
Net fees and commissions increased by 3.7% compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly boosted by the
performance of asset management fees and, to a lesser extent, those associated with insurance products.
Net Trading Income (NTI) was in line with the previous year (-0.7%) influenced by the evolution of the Global Markets unit,
which was partially offset in the last quarter of the year by the positive impact of capital gains of the insurance portfolio.
The year-on-year comparison of the aggregate other operating income and expenses is conditioned by the recording in
2024 of the annual amount of the temporary tax on credit institutions and financial credit institutions for a total of
285m.
Operating expenses remained stable (-0.7%) compared to the end of the previous year, mainly due to the reduction in
general expenses, as they include a positive effect from the recognition of a lower Value Added Tax (VAT) expense
following the upward re-estimation of its applied pro-rata, which was offset by the increase in personnel expenses. As a
result of the evolution of the area's income and expenses, the gross income grew by 6.2% and, in addition, the efficiency
ratio improved.
Impairment on financial assets decreased by 5.1%, mainly as a result of improved dynamics in the mortgage portfolio. On
the other hand, the cumulative cost of risk at the end of December 2025 remained stable compared to September 2025,
that is, 0.34%, with a reduction of 4 basis points in the year.
Finally, the income tax line includes the accrual, for 2025, of the tax on net interest income and net fees and commissions
that have amounted to approximately €318m, of which €94m correspond to the fourth quarter of the year.
Spain generated a net attributable profit of €1,036m in the fourth quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 4.2% compared to
the previous quarter. This evolution is largely explained by the performance of net fees and commissions, which include
extraordinary income from asset management, and by NTI, which registered capital gains generated by the insurance portfolio.
Lastly, operating expenses grew in the fourth quarter, including the update of variable employee compensation in line with the
area's performance in 2025.

January - December 2025 Report - p.39
Macro and industry trends
Weakness in investment and the industrial sector have limited economic growth during the second half of 2025, with machinery
exports and services being the main drivers of activity. BBVA Research maintains its growth forecast at 0.7% for 2025 and
estimates the increase for 2026 at 1.2% (two tenths above the previous scenario), in the context of lower fiscal consolidation,
looser monetary conditions, and some uncertainty associated with the revision of the United States, Mexico and Canada (USMCA)
free trade agreement. Inflation stabilized at around 3.7% during the last quarter of 2025, closing the year at this rate, and is
expected to remain at similar levels throughout 2026 (3.8% is the expected figure for the year-end). Following the December cut,
interest rates ended 2025 at 7%, and the expected price and activity environment anticipates gradual cuts, with 6.5% set as the
target level for 2026.
Regarding the banking system, with data at the end of November 2025, the volume of credit to the non-financial private sector
increased by 7.2% year-on-year, with growth in all the main portfolios: consumer loans (+12.2%), mortgage loans (+5.3%) and
corporate loans (+5.6%). The growth of total deposits (demand and time deposits) remained slightly below than the credit growth
(+5.2% year-on-year in November 2025), with demand deposits (+6.5%) growing more strongly than time deposits (+2.9%).
Meanwhile, the system's NPL ratio worsened slightly to 2.46% in November 2025 and the capital indicators remained
comfortable.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, all the comments below on rates of variation, for both activity and results, will be given at
constant exchange rate. These rates, together with variations at current exchange rates, can be found in the attached tables of
financial statements and relevant business indicators.
Activity
The most relevant aspects related to the area's activity during 2025 were:
Lending activity (performing loans under management) grew by 7.6% during 2025, supported by the evolution of the
retail portfolio, which grew by 11.9%, with a favorable performance of all the portfolios, where the dynamism of consumer
loans stands out, registering an increase of 13.8%. In the wholesale portfolio, growth stood at 2.9%, boosted by the
performance of corporate banking. As a result of this evolution, the loan portfolio continued showing a high degree of
diversification, with 46% of the total portfolio corresponding to wholesale credit and the remaining 54% to retail credit.
Customer deposits under management increased by 13.4% in 2025, with a notable growth in off-balance sheet funds of
19.0% and 9.5% in customer deposits.
The most relevant aspects related to the area's activity in the fourth quarter of 2025 were:
During the quarter, lending activity grew by 3.7%, with more notable growth in the wholesale portfolio (+4.9%), driven by
the dynamism of corporate banking. Meanwhile, the retail portfolio increased by 2.8%, with favorable performance across
all products, particularly credit cards (+6.7%), driven by year-end campaigns ("Buen Fin").
With regard to the asset quality indicators, the NPL ratio stood at 2.7% at the end of December 2025, which represents a
decrease of 5 basis points compared to the end of September, mainly explained by the boost in activity in the last quarter
and a moderate growth in non-performing loans. On the other hand, the NPL coverage ratio was 124% at the end of
December 2025, which represents an increase compared to the end of September.
Customer deposits under management were 3.3% above the September balances, originated from the evolution of
customer deposits (+5.1%), with a stronger growth in demand deposits than in time deposits.

Results
BBVA Mexico achieved a cumulative net attributable profit of €5,264m at the end of December 2025, which represents a year-on-
year growth of 5.7%, explained mainly by the favorable evolution of the net interest income.
The most relevant aspects of the year-on-year evolution in the income statement as of the end of December 2025 are summarized
below:
Net interest income increased by 8.1%, driven by higher retail lending volumes and lower cost of funds, in an environment
of falling reference rates, further boosted by wholesale issuances carried out by BBVA Mexico.
Net fees and commissions grew by 6.0%, mainly as a result of the higher revenues from asset management, mostly
investment and pension funds, related to growth in activity and to a lesser extent, one-off fees associated with investment
banking transactions.
The contribution from NTI increased by 12.3% mainly due to the good performance of the ALCO portfolio.
The other operating income and expenses line item recorded an increase of 18.7%, supported by the strong performance
of the insurance business, which more than offset the increase in contributions to the deposit guarantee fund.
Operating expenses grew by 8.7%, mainly due to the increase in overhead costs (technology expenses) and, to a lesser
extent, higher personnel expenses.
Loan-loss provisions increased by 10.5%, with higher requirements for the retail portfolio as a result of growth in activity.
Thus, the cumulative cost of risk at the end of December 2025 increased to 3.31%, which is an increase of 4 basis points
compared to that recorded at the end of September, although it remains 8 basis points below the end of 2024.
In the quarter, and excluding the effect of exchange rate fluctuation, BBVA Mexico generated net attributable profit of €1,366m,
which represents an increase of 4.8% variation with respect to the previous quarter supported by the favorable performance of all
components of the gross income. Noteworthy was the dynamism of NTI (+25.4%) and the other operating income and expenses
heading (+35.4%), the latter favored by insurance business activity. These effects offset the growth in operating expenses, which
reflect in the quarter the increase in variable compensation to staff, in line with areas improved annual performance, as well as a
higher loan-loss provisions.

January - December 2025 Report - p.43
Macro and industry trends
Economic activity maintained its dynamism during the third quarter of 2025 thanks to strong domestic demand, which, combined
with looser monetary conditions, a relatively more favorable global environment, and neutral fiscal policy, keeps growth
expectations positive for the coming quarters. According to BBVA Research, GDP growth could reach 3.7% in 2025, in line with the
previous scenario, and reach 4% in 2026. Meanwhile, inflation has continued to moderate during the last months of 2025 at a
slightly higher pace than anticipated, standing at 30.9% in December. This has allowed the central bank to continue with gradual
interest rate cuts to 38% by the end of 2025. By 2026, inflation and interest rates are expected to continue falling, ending the year
at 25% and 32%, respectively.
The Turkish banking system continues to be affected by the impact of inflation. The total volume of credit in the system increased
by 42.2% year-on-year at the end of November 2025, similar to the previous months. The stock of credit continues to be driven by
consumer credit and credit card portfolios (+48.0% year-on-year) and by corporate lending (+40.3% year-on-year). Total
deposits maintained the strength of recent months and grew by 41.8% year-on-year at the end of November 2025, with greater
growth in dollar deposits (+53.0%) than in lira deposits (+35.9%). Dollarization of the system increased slightly to 37.3% in
November 2025, from 34.6% a year earlier. The system's NPL ratio remains well under control and stood at 2.63% in November
2025. The capital indicators remained at comfortable levels at the same date.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, all comments below on rates of changes for both activity and results will be presented at
constant exchange rates. These rates, together with changes at current exchange rates, can be observed in the attached tables of
the financial statements and relevant business indicators. For the conversion of these figures, the end of period exchange rate as
of December 31, 2025 is used, reflecting the considerable depreciation by the Turkish lira in the last twelve months. Likewise, the
balance sheet, Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA) and the equity are affected.
Activity14
The most relevant aspects related to the area's activity during 2025 were:
Lending activity (performing loans under management) recorded an increase of 51.2% between January and December
2025, mainly driven by the growth in Turkish lira loans (+44.5%). This growth was mainly driven by the performance of
credit cards and consumer loans and, to a lesser extent, loans to businesses. Foreign currency loans (in U.S. dollars)
increased by 18.1%, boosted by the increase in activity with customers focused on foreign trade (with natural hedging of
exchange rate risk).
Customer deposits (69.4% of the area's total liabilities as of December 31, 2025) remained the main source of funding for
the balance sheet and increased by 49.6% favored by the positive performance of Turkish lira time deposits (+36.4%),
which represent a 82.2% of total customer deposits in local currency. Balances deposited in foreign currency (in U.S.
dollars) increased by 34.8%, driven by the demand deposits +26.6%. Thus, as of December 31, 2025, Turkish lira
deposits accounted for 62.6% of total customer deposits in the area. For its part, off-balance sheet funds grew by 99.9%.
The most relevant aspects related to the area’s activity in the fourth quarter of 2025 were:
Lending activity (performing loans under management) increased by 9.6%, mainly driven by the growth in Turkish lira
loans (+10.9%, above the quarterly inflation rate, which stood at 4.4%). Within Turkish lira loans, credit cards and
consumer loans continued to drive growth, which grew at rates of 11.4% and 16.6%, respectively. Growth in foreign
currency loans slowed slightly and stood at 2.7%.

January - December 2025 Report - p.44
In terms of asset quality, the NPL ratio increased by 20 basis points compared to the figure as of the end of September to
3.9%, mainly as a result of the increase in non-performing loans, in the retail portfolios, partially offset by sales of
impaired loans and recoveries. On the other hand, the NPL coverage ratio recorded a decrease of 204 basis points in the
quarter due to the increase of non-performing loans and provisions releases originated in a particular customer in the
wholesale portfolio, standing at 76% as of December 31, 2025.
In the evolution of customer funds during the quarter, off-balance sheet funds stood out, which recorded a growth of
14.7%. On the other hand, customer deposits increased by 8.4% with higher balances in both, U.S. dollar deposits
(+7.3%, driven by demand deposits), and, mainly, Turkish lira balances (+9.2%, driven by time deposits).
Results
Turkey reached a net attributable profit of €805m during 2025, which compares very favorably with the result achieved in the
same period of the previous year, as a result of the good performance of recurring revenues in banking business (net interest
income and net fees and commissions) and a less negative hyperinflation impact.
As mentioned above, the year-on-year comparison of the accumulated income statement at the end of December 2025 at current
exchange rate is affected by the depreciation of the Turkish lira in the last year (-27.2%), with a less pronounced drop in the fourth
quarter (-3.3%). To isolate this effect, the highlights of the results of 2025 at constant exchange rates are summarized below:
Net interest income grew year-on-year, mainly driven by the dynamism of lending activity and by the improvement of the
Turkish lira customer spread. In addition, the central bank has increased the remuneration of certain Turkish lira reserves
since February 2024. The aforementioned was partially offset by the higher wholesale-funding costs issued by Garanti
BBVA in financial year 2025.
Net fees and commissions recorded a significant increase, driven by the solid performance in fees and commissions
associated with payment methods, followed by those related to asset management, insurances, guarantees and
brokerage activity, which compensated the increase in fees paid for payroll acquisitions.
Lower NTI, due to the currency positions maintained in the area.
The other operating income and expenses line had a balance of €-384m, which compares favorably with the previous
year. This line incorporates, among others, the loss on the net monetary position, together with its partial offset by the
income derived from inflation-linked bonds (CPI linkers). The net impact of both effects was less negative at the end of
December 2025, compared with the same period of 2024. This line also includes results from certain subsidiaries of
Garanti BBVA and the evolution of the insurance business, whose contribution was increased in both cases compared to
the cumulative total at the end of December 2024.
Operating expenses continued growing, mainly due to higher personnel expenses, linked to the growth in the workforce
and a salary review in the context of high inflation. On the other hand, operating expenses also increased, highlighting the
higher advertising expenditures and technology expenses.
Regarding the impairment on financial assets, higher provisions were recorded, which is explained by the growth of the
activity and higher requirements in retail portfolios. Meanwhile, the cumulative cost of risk as of December 31, 2025 stood
at 1.94%, with an increase of 18 basis points in the quarter.
The provisions and other results line closed December 2025 at €-34m, reflecting an unfavorable evolution compared with
the releases recorded in the same period of the previous year (€165m), which in 2024 were mainly associated with
significant recoveries from wholesale clients and the revaluation of real estate assets.

January - December 2025 Report - p.45
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the net attributable profit of Turkey stood at €201m, which represents a decrease compared to the
previous quarter mainly as a result of higher operating expenses along with an increase in the level of impairment on financial
assets. This was partially offset by improved net interest income and a less negative hyperinflation adjustment compared to the
previous quarter as a result of a lower quarterly inflation rate.

January - December 2025 Report - p.49
The most relevant aspects related to the area's activity during the fourth quarter of the year 2025 have been:
Lending activity registered a positive variation of 4.0%, mainly supported by the dynamism of commercial loans (+5.1%),
credit consumption and credit cards (+3.6%, overall).
With regard to the quality of the credit, the area's NPL ratio stood at 4.0%, which represents a decrease of 3 basis points
compared to the previous quarter, favored by the performance in Peru and Colombia. For its part, the coverage ratio for
the area was 92%, representing a decrease of 82 basis points compared to the end of September, with a decline mainly
occurring in Argentina.
Customer funds under management increased at a rate of 3.8%, with growth of 4.6% in customer deposits and a
variation of -1.4% in off-balance sheet funds.
South America generated a net attributable profit of €726m at the end of 2025, which represents a year-on-year growth of 14.3%
at current exchange rates, favored by an improved net attributable profit in Peru and Colombia and a less negative hyperinflation
adjustment in Argentina.
Meanwhile, the impact of the adjustment for hyperinflation of subsidiaries domiciled in Argentina stands out, which implies, among
other effects, the recording of the loss on the monetary position in the item "Other operating income and expenses" in the income
statement. This impact amounted to €356m in the period January - December 2025, significantly lower than the €1,419m
recorded in the period January - December 2024.
More detailed information on the most representative countries of the business area is provided below.
Argentina
Macro and industry trends
The third quarter of 2025 has ended with a recovery in economic activity, amid declining political instability and lower exchange
rate tensions. BBVA Research maintains its GDP growth forecast for 2025 at 4.5%, in line with the previous scenario, and expects
a gradual moderation in growth to rates of 3% by 2026. Inflation has maintained the downward trend observed throughout 2025
standing at 31.5% in December. For 2026, inflationary pressures are expected to continue easing, with the overall rate reaching
20% by the end of the year.
The banking system continues to grow at a high pace, although the inflation control entails that the credit and deposit volume
growth is more moderate than in previous quarters. With data at the end of December 2025, total lending increased by 81.3%
compared to December 2024, favored by consumer, corporate and, above all, mortgage portfolios, which grew by 70.1%, 81.0%
and 245% year-on-year, respectively. For their part, deposits continue to decelerate, and at the end of December recorded a year-
on-year growth of 41.3%. Finally, the NPL ratio has rebounded due to the growth in household credit defaults, standing at 4.54% at
the end of October 2025.
Activity and results
In 2025, performing loans under management grew by 85.8% (+16.0% in the fourth quarter), driven mainly by the growth
in corporate loans and all the loans to individuals, highlighting growth in terms of volume of consumer loans (+75.8%) and
credit cards (+52.4%) and the dynamism of mortgage loans (+174.2%). At the end of December 2025, the NPL ratio
stood at 4.9%, an increase of 111 basis points compared to the end of September 2025, mainly due to retail portfolio NPL
entries affecting the NPL coverage ratio, which stood at 84%, below the level recorded at the end of September 2025.
On balance sheet funds recorded a 74.9% growth in 2025 (+10.6% in the fourth quarter), with growth in time deposits
(+116.2%) higher than demand deposits (+53.2%). For its part, mutual funds (off-balance sheet funds) also had a good
performance in the year (+17.3%, -10.8% in the fourth quarter).
15 At current rates, that is, the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the profit and loss account is not excluded.

January - December 2025 Report - p.50
Regarding the evolution of the income statement15, the cumulative net attributable profit at the end of December 2025
stood at €133m, showing a lower impact from hyperinflation compared to the end of December 2024. Net interest income
continues to be affected, among other factors, by price effect and the higher cost of funds due to the growth in customer
balances, which was not offset by the higher lending volume. Net fees and commissions grew by 13.4% year-on-year,
driven by payment methods activity. On the other hand, a significantly lower negative adjustment for hyperinflation was
recorded (mainly reflected in the "Other operating income and expenses" line) and higher operating expenses, both in
personnel (mainly due to fixed compensation to staff) and in other operating expenses. With regard to loan-loss
provisions, there was an increase in requirements in the retail portfolio, partly affected by a higher portfolio volume. As a
result of the above, the cost of risk stood at 5.67%, which represents an increase of 77 basis points in the quarter. Thus,
the result of the fourth quarter reached €29m, which represents an increase from the previous quarter, mainly due to
favorable evolution of net interest income (quarterly improvement of customer spread) and NTI (due to higher results
from trading government bonds and the sale of ALCO portfolios). This was partially offset by a more negative adjustment
from hyperinflation in the quarter and by higher impairment on financial assets compared to the third quarter of 2025,
associated with higher requirements in the retail portfolios.
Colombia
Macro and industry trends
Private consumption and fiscal expenditure have continued to contribute to the dynamism of economic activity during the second
half of 2025. BBVA Research expects growth for the year as a whole to reach 2.7%, two tenths of a percentage point above the
previous scenario; growth in 2026 could be similar, standing at 2.8%. The boost in domestic demand has also limited the
correction in inflation, which closed December at 5.1%, and has led the central bank to keep interests rates unchanged at 9.25%.
The announced increase in the minimum wage anticipates additional inflationary pressures for 2026. The overall inflation rate
could end the year at 6.5%, two percentage points higher than expected in the previous scenario, and the central bank could
respond by tightening its monetary policy with interest rate hikes to 12.25%.
Total credit growth in the banking system stood at 6.6% year-on-year in October 2025, with growth across all portfolios. Thus,
corporate lending, mortgage lending, and consumer lending portfolios showed year-on-year growth rates of 5.6%, 11.8% and
5.5%, respectively in October 2025. On the other hand, total deposits grew by 9.1% year-on-year at the end of October 2025, with
a more balanced evolution by portfolios than in previous quarters. Thus, demand and time deposits grew by 9.1% and 9.2% year-
on-year respectively. The system's NPL ratio has improved in the last few months, standing at 4.01% in October 2025, 101 basis
points below the figure for the same month of the previous year.
Activity and results
Lending activity grew at a rate of 7.1% compared to the end of 2024, and 1.0% in the fourth quarter. In terms of asset
quality indicators, they improved with respect to the end of 2024: the NPL ratio stood at 4.3%, a decrease of 20 basis
points with respect to the previous quarter, as a result of the containment of inflows and the good recovery dynamics of
the quarter, as well as the write-offs mainly in retail portfolios. On the other hand, coverage stood at 88%, remaining
virtually stable compared to the previous quarter (-7 basis points).
Customer funds grew by 5.7% compared to the end of 2024, mainly thanks to the growth of demand deposits (+5.8%)
and, to a lesser extent, off-balance sheet funds (+14.0%) and time deposits (+3.0%). In the fourth quarter, growth in
demand deposit balances (+10.1%) drove growth in customer deposits (+3.7%), and off-balance sheet funds grew by
2.1%.

January - December 2025 Report - p.51
The cumulative net attributable profit at the end of December 2025 stood at 143m, that is, 58.5% higher than at the end
of the same period of the previous year (at current exchange rates), favored by the increase in recurring revenues, a more
efficient cost management, and particularly, a lower level of provisions for impairment on financial assets associated with
lower requirements in the retail portfolio as a result of lower entries into NPLs. Meanwhile, the cumulative cost of risk at
December 31, 2025 stood at 2.19%, down 4 basis points in the quarter. Fourth quarter net attributable profit stood down
21m, down 56.8% from the previous quarter at current exchange rates, due to lower NTI, lower insurance business
results, growth in operating expenses, and higher loan-loss provisions. In addition, the quarter was impacted by the
increase in corporate income tax expense resulting in a higher effective tax rate.
Peru
Macro and industry trends
Economic activity has continued a relatively favorable performance during the second half of 2025, thanks to the boost from
private consumption, withdrawals from private pension funds, and relatively positive developments in foreign trade prices.
According to BBVA Research, GDP growth could stand at 3.3% in 2025, two tenths above the previous forecast, and reach 3.1% in
2026 amid growing domestic political uncertainty and the calling of elections. Controlled inflation, which ended at 1.5% in
December and is expected to rise gradually to 2.5% by the end of 2026, and low interest rates, which could remain unchanged at
the current 4.25%, support growth expectations going forward.
Total lending in the Peruvian banking system continued the trend of recent quarters and increased 4.9% year-on-year in
November 2025, with growth in all portfolios. Thus, the consumer credit portfolio grew by 10.9% year-on-year, the mortgage
portfolio increased by 6.6% and the corporate loan portfolio by 2.4% year-on-year. For their part, the system's total deposits
registered a year-on-year growth of 3.4% in October 2025, due to the contraction in time deposits (-4.8% year-on-year), which
was partially offset by 7.9% growth in demand deposits. Finally, the system's NPL ratio continued on a downward trend, reaching a
rate of 3.26% in November 2025.
Activity and results
Lending activity grew by 4.4% compared to the end of December 2024, focused on the retail portfolios, mainly consumer
loans (+19.3%) and mortgages (+9.2%), which more than offset the deleveraging in the wholesale portfolios (-0.7%). In
the fourth quarter of 2025, lending growth stood at 2.2%, with growth in the retail portfolio (+2.9%), faster than the
wholesale portfolio (+1.7%). Regarding the asset quality indicators, the NPL ratio was lower than at the end of September
2025 (-29 basis points) placing at 3.7%, where ongoing strong recovery performance and management of non-
performing loans during the quarter continue. The coverage ratio was 99%, remaining virtually stable compared to the
end of September (+9 basis points) and the cumulative cost of risk at the end of December 2025 stood at 1.67%, 10 basis
points below the same figure at the end of September 2025, and below the cumulative cost of risk at the end of 2024.
Customers funds under management increased during 2025 (+6.2%), thanks to the favorable performance of demand
deposits (+12.2%) and off-balance sheet funds (+26.7%).
BBVA Peru's cumulative attributable profit stood at the end of December 2025 at €295m, which represents a year-on-
year increase of 29.9% at current exchange rates, originated in lower provisions for impairment on financial assets, which
were significantly lower than in the same period of 2024 (-38.1% at current exchange rates) due, among other factors, to
a lower requirement for retail products as a result of the improved asset quality of the portfolio in the last quarters. Apart
from the above, good performance of recurring revenues. The net attributable profit of the quarter stood at € 68m, which
is a variation of -3.2% compared to the previous quarter, at current exchange rates, mainly as a result of the growth in
operating expenses.

January - December 2025 Report - p.54
Unless expressly stated otherwise, all the comments below on rates of change, for both activity and results, will be given at
constant exchange rates. These rates, together with the changes at current exchange rates, can be found in the attached tables of
the financial statements and relevant business indicators. Comments that refer to Europe exclude Spain.
Activity
The most relevant aspects of the evolution of BBVA Group's Rest of Business activity during 2025 were:
Lending activity (performing loans under management) grew by 37.8%. The CIB business is driving this growth,
particularly in Europe and the United States, with significant transactions in project finance and corporate loans, as well
as in Asia, benefiting from increased volumes.
Customer funds under management recorded an increase of 54.0%, driven by customer deposits in Europe, supported
by the performance of the digital bank in Germany, and, to a lesser extent, Asia (CIB).
The most relevant aspects of the evolution of BBVA Group's Rest of Business activity during the fourth quarter of 2025 were:
Lending (performing loans under management) recorded a growth of 14.0%, continuing the upward trend seen in recent
quarters. Significant growth was observed in New York (CIB), followed by Asia and Europe.
On the other hand, compared to the end of September, the NPL ratio decreased by 2 basis points to 0.2%, helped by the
positive momentum of activity, while the coverage ratio increased to 173% supported by increased coverage on certain
customers.
Customer funds under management increased by 16.2%, mainly driven by digital banking balances in Germany, followed
by customer deposits in Asia, and New York (CIB).
Results
Rest of Business achieved an accumulated net attributable profit of €627m during 2025, 29.4% higher than in the same period of
the previous year, favored by the evolution of the recurring revenues and the NTI, which more than offset the increase in operating
expenses.
In the year-on-year evolution of the main lines of the area's income statement at the end of December 2025, the following was
particularly noteworthy:
Net interest income grew by 15.9% as a result of increased activity volume, particularly in investment banking, as well as
transactional business. By geographical areas, growth was particularly strong in New York and, to a lesser extent, in Asia.
Net fees and commissions had an excellent performance and increased by 56.0%, thanks to issuance activity in the
primary debt market and relevant operations in project finance and corporate loans. By geographical area, commissions
originating in Europe and the United States stood out.
The NTI grew by 19.4%, benefiting from global markets, where commercial activity in interests rates, lending and equities
stand out. By geographical area, the United States and Asia performed well.
Increase in operating expenses of 29.5% mainly explained by higher expenses in Europe and, to a lesser extent, in the
United States due to new hires and investment in strategic projects.
The impairment on financial assets line at the end of December 2025 recorded a balance of €-85m, a figure which is
higher than in the same period of the previous year, mainly originated in higher provisions in the United States.
Meanwhile, the cumulative cost of risk at the end of December increased by 5 basis points compared to September to
0.16%, as a result of the increase in the portfolio and partly due to higher provisions for individual customers in the United
States portfolio.

January - December 2025 Report - p.55
In the fourth quarter of 2025 and excluding the effect of the exchange rates fluctuations, the Group's Rest of Businesses as a
whole generated a net attributable profit of €147m, down 17.4% from the previous quarter. The quarterly performance continued
to be driven by strong recurring revenues of NTI, which was offset by the higher operating expenses, including the adjustment of
variable employee compensation in line with the areas performance in 2025.

Results
The Corporate Center recorded in 2025 a net attributable loss of €-1,086m, representing a deterioration of 20.5% compared to
the €-901m recorded in the previous year. The evolution of this aggregate is largely explained by the negative NTI registered at the
end of December 2025, originating from exchange rate hedges, which contrast with the gains obtained in 2024 for the same
reason.

January - December 2025 Report - p.59
Unless expressly stated otherwise, all the comments below on rates of change, for both activity and results, will be given at
constant exchange rates. For the conversion of these figures in those countries in which accounting for hyperinflation is applied,
the end of period exchange rate as of December 31, 2025 is used. These rates, together with changes at current exchange rates,
can be found in the attached tables of financial statements and relevant business indicators. When making comments referring to
Europe in this area, Spain is excluded.
Activity
The most relevant aspects related to the area's activity in 2025 were:
Growth in lending activity in the Group's wholesale businesses stood at 27.8% compared to the end of 2024; Rest of
Business (the United States, Asia and Europe) and Spain driving this growth, with significant operations in project finance
and corporate loans, and strong performance in transactional banking.
Customer funds increased by 36.8%, boosted in particularly by the growth in customer deposits in Spain and in Rest of
Business.
The most relevant aspects related to the area's activity in the fourth quarter of 2025 were:
Lending stood at the end of December 2025, 11.2% above the balance at September 30, 2025, continuing the upward
trend shown in recent quarters. Notable growth was observed both in Investment Banking & Finance (IB&F), especially in
the Rest of Business, followed by Mexico and Spain.
Customer funds increased by 11.9% during the fourth quarter of the year 2025 especially in Spain, thanks to notable
transactions with customers and credit institutions.
Results
CIB generated a net attributable profit of €3,073m in 202516. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations, this result represents
a 31.9% increase over the previous year, which reflects again the strength of the Group's wholesale businesses, with the aim of
offering a value proposition focused on the needs of its customers.
All business divisions posted double-digit revenue growth: Global Markets with good behavior in all its products, particularly in
currency, interest rates and equities; Global Transaction Banking (GTB), thanks to the positive evolution of recurring revenues,
mainly net interest income; excellent results in IB&F, with singular operations that have generated commission income and a
positive evolution of net interest income.
The most relevant aspects of the year-on-year income statement evolution of this aggregate as of end of December 2025 are
summarized below:
Net interest income increased by 48.5%, thanks to the continued growth of the portfolio in both 2024 and in 2025, as well
as effective price management. By geographical areas, the performance of Spain, the United States, Turkey and Mexico
stands out.
Net fees and commissions grew by 26.8%, with significant activity in almost all the geographical areas, particularly Rest
of Business and Mexico. All business lines have been boosted by significant agreements throughout the year, with IB&F's
operations standing out.
Year-on-year increase in the NTI (+4.9%), with a particularly strong performance in the United States thanks to the
commercial activity in interest rates, credit, and equities.

January - December 2025 Report - p.60
Operating expenses grew by 19.7%. Higher personnel expenses were recorded, associated with strategic plans and new
capacities. There were also higher overheads due to higher technological expenses resulting from the execution of
strategic projects for the area. However, the efficiency ratio stood at 28.2% at the end of December, a significant
improvement of 209 basis points compared to 2024, thanks to the strong boost in gross income.
Provisions for impairment on financial assets line recorded a release of €70m, mainly originating from customers in the
real estate sector in Turkey.
In the fourth quarter of 2025 and excluding the effect of the variation in exchange rates, the Group's wholesale business generated
a net attributable profit of €758m, which is 5.9% lower compared to the previous quarter. This evolution is mainly due to the
growth in operating expenses, which offset the positive performance of the area's gross income.
17 With the exception of those countries whose economies have been considered hyperinflationary, for which the closing exchange rate of the most recent period will be
used.

January - December 2025 Report - p.61
Alternative Performance Measures
(APMs)
BBVA presents its results in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (EU-IFRS). Additionally, the Group
also considers that some Alternative Performance Measures (hereinafter APMs) provide useful additional financial information
that should be taken into account when evaluating performance. They are considered complementary information and do not
replace the financial information drafted according to the EU-IFRS. These APMs are also used when making financial, operational
and planning decisions within the Entity. The Group firmly believes that they give a true and fair view of its financial information.
These APMs are generally used in the financial sector as indicators for monitoring the assets, liabilities and economic and financial
situation of entities.
BBVA Group's APMs are given below. They are presented in accordance with the European Securities and Markets Authority
(ESMA) guidelines, published on October 5, 2015 (ESMA/2015/1415en). The guideline mentioned before is aimed at promoting
the usefulness and transparency of APMs included in prospectuses or regulated information in order to protect investors in the
European Union. In accordance with the indications given in the aforementioned guideline, BBVA Group's APMs:
Include clear and readable definitions of the APMs.
Disclose the reconciliations to the most directly reconcilable line item, subtotal or total presented in the financial
statements of the corresponding period, separately identifying and explaining the material reconciling items.
Are standard measures generally used in the financial industry, so their use provides comparability in the analysis of
performance between issuers.
Do not have greater preponderance than measures directly stemming from financial statements.
Are accompanied by comparatives for previous periods.
Are consistent over time.
Constant exchange rates
When comparing two dates or periods in this report, the impact of changes in the exchange rates against the euro of the
currencies of the countries in which BBVA operates is sometimes excluded, assuming that exchange rates remain constant. This is
done for the amounts in the income statement by using the average exchange rate against the euro in the most recent period for
each currency17 of the geographical areas in which the Group operates, and applying it to both periods; for amounts in the balance
sheet and activity, the closing exchange rates in the most recent period are used.
During the year 2023, 2024 and 2025, there were no corporate transactions, non-recurring impacts or other types of adjustments
for management purposes that determine an net attributable profit or a profit for the period different from those disclosed in the
Consolidated Financial Statements. For this reason, as there are no differences between the Consolidated Financial Statements
and the consolidated management results statement, no reconciliation is presented for the periods disclosed in this report. For the
same reason, the Group does not present among its Alternative Performance Measures shown below an adjusted profit for the
period nor an adjusted net attributable profit, neither does it present the profitability ratios derived from them: that is, adjusted
ROE, adjusted ROTE, adjusted RORC, adjusted ROA and adjusted RORWA.

January - December 2025 Report - p.62
Profitability and efficiency ratios
ROE
The ROE (return on equity) ratio measures the accounting return obtained on an entity's shareholders' funds plus accumulated
other comprehensive income. It is calculated as follows:
shape-1fad69aa1529a689.gif
Net attributable profit (loss)
Average shareholders' funds + Average accumulated other comprehensive income
Explanation of the formula: the numerator is the net attributable profit (loss) of the Group's consolidated income statement. If the
metric is presented on a date before the close of the fiscal year, the numerator will be annualized.
Average shareholders' funds are the weighted moving average of the shareholders' funds at the end of each month of the period
analyzed, adjusted to take into account the execution of the "Dividend-option" at the closing dates on which it was agreed to
deliver this type of dividend prior to the publication of the Group´s results.
Average accumulated other comprehensive income is the moving weighted average of "Accumulated other comprehensive
income", which is part of the equity on the Entity's balance sheet and is calculated in the same way as average shareholders’ funds
(above).
Relevance of its use: this ratio is very commonly used not only in the banking sector but also in other sectors to measure the return
obtained on shareholders' funds.

Explanation of the formula: the numerator "Net attributable profit (loss)" and the items in the denominator "Average intangible
assets" and "Average accumulated other comprehensive income" are the same items and are calculated in the same way as
explained for ROE.
Average intangible assets are the intangible assets on the Group's consolidated balance sheet, including goodwill and other
intangible assets. The average balance is calculated in the same way as explained for shareholders funds in ROE.

Book value per share
The book value per share determines the value of a company on its books for each share held. It is calculated as follows:
shape-9de580f7aefbe897.gif
Shareholders' funds + Accumulated other comprehensive income
Number of shares outstanding - Treasury shares
Explanation of the formula: the figures for both "Shareholders' funds" and "Accumulated other comprehensive income" are taken
from the balance sheet. Shareholders' funds are adjusted to take into account the execution of the "Dividend-option" at the closing
dates on which it was agreed to deliver this type of dividend prior to the publication of the Group´s results. The denominator
includes the final number of outstanding shares excluding own shares (treasury shares) and excluding the shares corresponding
to share buyback programs. In addition, the denominator is also adjusted to include the capital increase resulting from the
execution of the dividend options explained above. Both the numerator and the denominator take into account period-end
balances.
Relevance of its use: it shows the company's book value for each share issued. It is a generally used ratio, not only in the banking
sector but also in others.

Tangible book value per share
The tangible book value per share determines the value of the company on its books for each share held by shareholders in the
event of liquidation. It is calculated as follows:
shape-8bda66f4268ef374.gif
Shareholders' funds + Accumulated other comprehensive income - Intangible assets
Number of shares outstanding - Treasury shares
Explanation of the formula: the figures for "Shareholders' funds", "Accumulated other comprehensive income" and "Intangible
assets" are all taken from the balance sheet. Shareholders' funds are adjusted to take into account the execution of the "Dividend-
option" at the closing dates on which it was agreed to deliver this type of dividend prior to the publication of the Group´s results.
The denominator includes the final number of shares outstanding excluding own shares (treasury shares) and excluding the
shares corresponding to share buyback programs which are deducted from the shareholders' funds. In addition, the denominator
is also adjusted to include the result of the capital increase resulting from the execution of the dividend options explained above.
Both the numerator and the denominator take into account period-end balances.
Relevance of its use: it shows the company's book value for each share issued, after deducting intangible assets. It is a generally
used ratio, not only in the banking sector but also in others.
19 IFRS 9 classifies financial instruments into three stages, which depend on the evolution of their credit risk from the moment of initial recognition. The stage 1 includes
operations when they are initially recognized, stage 2 comprises operations for which a significant increase in credit risk has been identified since their initial recognition
and, stage 3, impaired operations.

Credit risk indicators
In order to more accurately reflect the evolution of the Group 's credit risk , BBVA has updated the definition of the risk indicators
presented here, including them to the business model whose objective is to receive contractual cash flows and sale of the financial
assets.
In this context, the indicators incorporate, in both the numerator and the denominator, loans and advances classified at fair value
with changes in other comprehensive income, managed under a Held to Collect and Sell business model, together with the assets
at amortized cost and the corresponding contingent risk.
This update allows risk metrics to more accurately represent the credit risk actually managed, avoiding distortions that do not
respond to a deterioration of risk, but to strategic balance sheet management decisions.
Non-performing loan (NPL) ratio
It is the ratio between the risks classified for accounting purposes as non-performing loans and the total credit risk balance. It is
calculated as follows:
shape-22dc494ed0437eb8.gif
Non-performing loans
Total credit risk
Explanation of the formula: non-performing loans and the credit risk balance are gross, meaning they are not adjusted by
associated accounting provisions.
Non-performing loans are calculated as the sum of “loans and advances at amortized cost”, "the fair value loan portfolio through
other comprehensive income" and the “contingent risk” in stage 319 and the following counterparties:
other financial entities
public sector
non-financial institutions
households, excluding central banks and other credit institutions.
The credit risk balance is calculated as the sum of "loans and advances at amortized cost", "the fair value loan portfolio through
other comprehensive income" and "contingent risk" in stage 1 + stage 2 + stage 3 of the previous counterparts.
This indicator is shown, as others, at a business area level.

with changes in other comprehensive income, together with the provisions associated with contingent risks, of the counterparties
included in the non-performing loans balance.

Cost of risk
This ratio indicates the current situation and changes in credit-risk quality through the annual cost in terms of impairment losses
(accounting loan-loss provisions) of each unit of loans and advances to customers (gross). It is calculated as follows:
shape-af05512552cc687.gif
Loan-loss provisions
Average loans and advances to customers (gross)
Explanation of the formula: "Loans to customers (gross)" refers to the "Loans and advances at amortized cost" and the "fair value
loan portfolio through other comprehensive income" portfolios with the following counterparts:
other financial entities
public sector
non-financial institutions
households, excluding central banks and other credit institutions.
Average loans to customers (gross) is calculated by using the average of the period-end balances of each month of the period
analyzed plus the previous month. If the metric is presented on a date before the close of the fiscal year, the numerator will be
annualized. By doing this, "Annualized loan-loss provisions" are calculated by accumulating and annualizing the loan-loss
provisions of each month of the period under analysis (based on days passed).
Loan-loss provisions refer to the aforementioned loans and advances at amortized cost and the fair value loan portfolio through
other comprehensive income portfolios.
This indicator is shown, as others, at a business area level.
Relevance of its use: this is one of the main indicators used in the banking sector to monitor the situation and changes in the
quality of credit risk through the cost over the year.

and the cost thereof; and (8) our ability to successfully complete and integrate acquisitions. In the particular case of certain targets related to our
ESG performance, such as, decarbonization targets or alignment of our portfolios, the achievement and progress towards such targets will depend
to a large extent on the actions of third parties, such as clients, governments and other stakeholders, and may therefore be materially affected by
such actions, or lack thereof, as well as by other exogenous factors that do not depend on BBVA (including, but not limited to, new technological
developments, regulatory developments, military conflicts, the evolution of climate and energy crises, etc.). Therefore, these targets may be
subject to future revisions.
The factors mentioned in the preceding paragraphs could cause actual future results to differ substantially from those set forth in the forecasts,
intentions, objectives, targets or other forward-looking statements included in this document or in other past or future documents. Accordingly,
results, including those related to ESG performance targets, among others, may differ materially from the statements contained in the forward-
looking statements.
Recipients of this document are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Past performance or growth rates are not indicative of future performance, results or share price (including earnings per share). Nothing in this
document should be construed as a forecast of results or future earnings.
BBVA does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to update or revise the contents of this or any other document if there are any changes in the
information contained therein, or including the forward-looking statements contained in any such document, as a result of events or circumstances
after the date of such document or otherwise except as required by applicable law.
