PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Under Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 19, 2002, all companies governed by the law of an EU Member State and whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market of any Member State must prepare their consolidated financial statements for the years beginning on or after January 1, 2005 in conformity with EU-IFRS. The Bank of Spain issued Circular 4/2017 of November 27, 2017 (“Circular 4/2017”), which replaced Circular 4/2004 of December 22, 2004, on Public and Confidential Financial Reporting Rules and Formats (“Circular 4/2004”) for financial statements relating to periods ended January 1, 2018 or thereafter.

There are no differences between EU-IFRS required to be applied under the Bank of Spain’s Circular 4/2017 and IFRS-IASB as of the dates and for the periods presented. The Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report on Form 6-K are in compliance with IAS 34 as issued by the IASB, and adopted by the EU and required to be applied under the Bank of Spain’s Circular 4/2017.

For a description of our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Policies”, “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2019 Form 20-F and Note 2.2.1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The financial information as of December 31, 2019 included herein and in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements may differ from previously reported financial information as of such date in our previously filed reports, including the 2019 Form 20-F, as a result of the modifications referred to below under “—Hyperinflationary economies”.

The financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2019 included herein and in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements may differ from previously reported financial information for such period in our previously filed reports, as a result of the modifications referred to below under “—IFRS 9 – Collection of interest on impaired financial assets”.

Hyperinflationary economies

Considering the interpretation issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) in its “IFRIC Update” of March 2020 on IAS 29 “Financial information in hyperinflationary economies”, the Group made an accounting policy change which involves recording the differences generated when translating the restated financial statements of the subsidiaries in hyperinflationary economies into euros in the line item “Accumulated other comprehensive income – Items that may be reclassified to profit or loss – Foreign currency translation” of our consolidated balance sheet. In order to make the information as of December 31, 2019 comparable with information as of June 30, 2020, the former has been restated by reclassifying €2,985 million from “Shareholders’ funds – Retained earnings” and €6 million from “Shareholders’ funds – Other reserves” to “Accumulated other comprehensive income – Items that may be reclassified to profit or loss – Foreign currency translation”.

The reclassification has been recorded as “Effect of changes in accounting policies” under the balance as of January 1, 2019 in the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

IFRS 9 – Collection of interest on impaired financial assets

As a consequence of the application of the interpretation issued by the IFRIC in its “IFRIC Update” of March 2019 regarding the collection of interest on impaired financial assets under IFRS 9, such collections are presented since 2020 as reductions in credit-related write-offs whereas previously they were included as interest income. In order to make the information for the six months ended June 30, 2019 comparable with the information for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2019 has been restated by recognizing a €45 million reduction in the heading “Interest and other income” and a €45 million increase in the heading “Impairment or reversal of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss or net gains by modification”. This reclassification has had no impact on the profit for the period for the six months ended June 30, 2019 or on the consolidated total equity as of June 30, 2019.

Intra-group reallocations

Following the publication of our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, certain balance sheet intra-group adjustments between the Corporate Center and the operating segments were reallocated to the corresponding operating segments. In addition, certain expenses related to global projects and activities were reallocated between the Corporate Center and the corresponding operating segments. In order to make the information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 comparable with the information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, figures as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 have been revised in conformity with these intra-group reallocations.

Statistical and Financial Information

The following principles should be noted in reviewing the statistical and financial information contained herein:

· Average balances, when used, are based on the beginning and the month-end balances during each six-month period. We do not believe that such monthly averages present trends that are materially different from those that would be presented by daily averages.

· Unless otherwise stated, any reference to loans refers to both loans and advances.

· Financial information with respect to segments or subsidiaries may not reflect consolidation adjustments.

· Certain numerical information in this interim report on Form 6-K may not compute due to rounding. In addition, information regarding period-to-period changes is based on numbers which have not been rounded.

· Information has not been annualized except where explicitly stated.

(1) Represents net interest income as a percentage of average total assets. In order to calculate “Net interest margin” for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively, net interest income is annualized by multiplying the net interest income for the period by two.

(2) Restated. See “Presentation of Financial Information—IFRS 9 – Collection of interest on impaired financial assets”.

(3) Represents average total equity over average total assets.

(4) Represents loss allowance on loans and advances at amortized cost.

(5) Represents the sum of impaired loans and advances to customers and impaired loan commitments and guarantees to customers divided by the sum of loans and advances to customers and loan commitments and guarantees to customers.

(6) We include loan commitments and guarantees to customers in the calculation of our non-performing asset ratio (NPA ratio). We believe that impaired loan commitments and guarantees to customers should be included in the calculation of our NPA ratio where we have reason to know, as of the reporting date, that they are impaired. The credit risk associated with loan commitments and guarantees to customers (consisting mainly of financial guarantees provided to third parties on behalf of our customers) is evaluated and provisioned according to the probability of default of our customers’ obligations. If impaired loan commitments and guarantees to customers were not included in the calculation of our NPA ratio, such ratio would generally be lower for the periods covered, amounting to 3.52% as of June 30, 2020, 3.62% as of December 31, 2019 and 3.68% as of June 30, 2019.

(7) Includes impaired loans and advances.

4B. Business Overview

The BBVA Group is a customer-centric global financial services group founded in 1857. Internationally diversified and with strengths in the traditional banking businesses of retail banking, asset management and wholesale banking, the Group is committed to offering a compelling digital proposition focused on customer experience.

For this purpose, the Group is focused on increasingly offering products online and through mobile channels, improving the functionality of its digital offerings and refining the customer experience. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the number of digital and mobile customers and the volume of digital sales continued to increase.

In 2019, the Group adopted a common global brand through the unification of the BBVA brand as part of its efforts to offer a unique value proposition and a homogeneous customer experience in the countries in which the Group operates.

In addition to the operating segments referred to above, the Group has a Corporate Center which includes those items that have not been allocated to an operating segment.

(1) Includes balance sheet intra-group adjustments between the Corporate Center and the operating segments.

Spain

This operating segment includes all of BBVA’s banking and non-banking businesses in Spain, other than those included in the Corporate Center. The primary business units included in this operating segment are:

· Spanish Retail Network: including individual customers, private banking, small companies and businesses in the domestic market;

· Corporate and Business Banking: which manages small and medium sized enterprises (“SMEs”), companies and corporations, and public institutions;

· Corporate and Investment Banking: responsible for business with large corporations and multinational groups and the trading floor and distribution business in Spain; and

· Other units: which includes the insurance business unit in Spain (BBVA Seguros), the Asset Management unit (which manages Spanish mutual funds and pension funds), lending to real estate developers and foreclosed real estate assets in Spain (including assets from the previous Non-Core Real Estate operating segment), as well as certain proprietary portfolios and certain funding and structural interest-rate positions of the euro balance sheet which are not included in the Corporate Center. On April 27, 2020, BBVA reached an agreement with Allianz, Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros, S.A. to create a bancassurance joint venture in Spain including a long-term exclusive distribution agreement for the sale of non-life insurance products, excluding the health insurance line, through BBVA’s banking network in Spain. BBVA will transfer its non-life insurance business in Spain, excluding the health insurance line, to the new joint venture. Excluding a variable part of the price to be paid by Allianz (which may amount to up to €100 million related to achieving specific business goals and certain milestones), it is expected that the transaction will generate a profit net of taxes amounting to approximately €300 million, and that the positive impact on the fully loaded CET1 capital ratio of the BBVA Group will be approximately 7 basis points. The closing of the transaction is subject to obtaining the relevant regulatory approvals from the competent authorities.

Cash, cash balances at central banks and other demand deposits amounted to €32,199 million as of June 30, 2020, a 102.5% increase compared with the €15,903 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly due to an increase in cash held at the Bank of Spain, with a view to reinforcing the Group’s cash position in face of the COVID-19 pandemic. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―The COVID-19 Pandemic”.

Financial assets designated at fair value of this operating segment (which includes the following portfolios: “Financial assets held for trading”, “Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss”, “Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss” and “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”) amounted to €147,143 million as of June 30, 2020, a 19.8% increase from the €122,844 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly as a result of the increase in derivatives due to the positive impact of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency positions recorded under “Financial assets held for trading” and, to a lesser extent, the increase in the volume of reverse repurchase agreements with credit institutions recorded under “Financial assets held for trading”.

Financial assets at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to 203,500 million, a 4.2% increase compared with the €195,260 million recorded as of December 31, 2019. Within this heading, loans and advances to customers amounted to €172,026 million as of June 30, 2020, an increase of 2.8% from the €167,332 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly as a result of the increase in retail and corporate banking credit facilities on the back of the measures implemented by the Spanish government in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and increased drawdowns under credit facilities especially in the first quarter. This increase was partially offset by the decrease in mortgage loans, which were greatly affected by the coronavirus outbreak. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―The COVID-19 Pandemic” for certain information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group.

Financial liabilities held for trading and designated at fair value through profit or loss of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €97,430 million, a 23.8% increase compared with the €78,684 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly as a result of the increase in repurchase agreements with credit institutions.

Customer deposits at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €195,676 million, a 7.3% increase compared with the €182,370 million recorded as of December 31, 2019 mainly as a result of the increase in demand deposits, due mainly to the shift from consumption to savings due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Off-balance sheet funds of this operating segment (which includes “Mutual funds” and “Pension funds”) as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €60,974 million, a 7.7% decrease compared with the €66,068 million as of December 31, 2019, mainly due to the increased volatility and decline in market prices during the period and the resulting shift towards deposits.

This operating segment’s non-performing loan ratio decreased to 4.3% as of June 30, 2020 from 4.4% as of December 31, 2019, as a result mainly of the increase in wholesale customer credit facilities toward the end of the first quarter and the increase in retail and corporate banking credit facilities on the back of the measures implemented by the Spanish government in light of the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter. This operating segment’s non-performing loan coverage ratio increased to 66% as of June 30, 2020 from 60% as of December 31, 2019, as a result mainly of higher loss allowances made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The United States

This operating segment includes the Group’s business in the United States. BBVA USA accounted for 88.8% of this operating segment’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. Given the importance of BBVA USA in this segment, most of the comments below refer to BBVA USA. This operating segment also includes the assets and liabilities of the BBVA branch in New York, which specializes in transactions with large corporations.

The U.S. dollar appreciated 0.3% against the euro as of June 30, 2020 compared with December 31, 2019, positively affecting the business activity of the United States operating segment as of June 30, 2020 expressed in euros. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition ―Trends in Exchange Rates”.

Financial assets at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €76,800 million, a 10.5% increase compared with the €69,510 million recorded as of December 31, 2019. Within this heading, loans and advances to customers of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €68,668 million, a 8.7% increase compared with the €63,162 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly due to the growth of the commercial portfolio and corporate banking on the back of measures implemented by the U.S. government in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and the business loan program established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) (which provides economic assistance to American workers, families and businesses, and aims to preserve jobs), with increases in the drawing down of credit facilities, partially offset by the decrease in consumer loans. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results ―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―The COVID-19 Pandemic” for certain information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group.

Customer deposits at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €75,649 million, a 12.0% increase compared with the €67,525 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly due to an increase in deposits following the implementation of the PPP, as part of the funds that have been provided to customers under such program have been invested as deposits.

This operating segment’s non-performing loan ratio stood at 1.1% as of June 30, 2020 and as of December 31, 2019. The increased commercial and corporate banking activity toward the end of the first quarter (as a result of the increase in the availability of credit facilities) was followed by an increase in non-performing loans in the second quarter. This operating segment’s non-performing loan coverage ratio increased to 133% as of June 30, 2020, from 101% as of December 31, 2019, mainly due to higher loss allowances made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and, to a lesser extent, certain specific clients.

Mexico

The Mexico operating segment includes the banking and insurance businesses conducted in Mexico by BBVA Mexico. Since 2018, it also includes BBVA Mexico’s branch in Houston (which was previously part of our United States segment).

The Mexican peso depreciated 18.2% against the euro as of June 30, 2020 compared with December 31, 2019, negatively affecting the business activity of the Mexico operating segment as of June 30, 2020 expressed in euros. See “I tem 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition ―Trends in Exchange Rates”.

Financial assets at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €58,418 million, an 11.7% decrease compared with the €66,180 million recorded as of December 31, 2019. Within this heading, loans and advances to customers of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €49,440 million, a 14.9% decrease compared with the €58,081 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro and the decrease in consumer loans, which were adversely affected by the coronavirus outbreak, partially offset by the positive performance of wholesale loans. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―The COVID-19 Pandemic” for certain information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group.

Financial liabilities held for trading and designated at fair value through profit or loss of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €24,494 million, a 12.4% increase compared with the €21,784 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly as a result of the increase in the volume of repurchase agreements, partially offset by the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro.

Customer deposits at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €50,398 million, a 9.9% decrease compared with the €55,934 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro, partially offset by the increase in demand deposits.

Off-balance sheet funds of this operating segment (which includes “Mutual funds” and “Other placements”) as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €21,271 million, a 13.0% decrease compared with the €24,464 million as of December 31, 2019, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro.

This operating segment’s non-performing loan ratio decreased to 2.2% as of June 30, 2020 from 2.4% as of December 31, 2019 due mainly to the moratoriums and deferrals plans adopted in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited the amount of new entries, and higher recoveries. This operating segment’s non-performing loan coverage ratio increased to 165% as of June 30, 2020 from 136% as of December 31, 2019, mainly due to higher loss allowances made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Turkey

This operating segment comprises the activities carried out by Garanti BBVA as an integrated financial services group operating in every segment of the banking sector in Turkey, including corporate, commercial, SME, payment systems, retail, private and investment banking, together with its subsidiaries in pension and life insurance, leasing, factoring, brokerage and asset management, as well as its international subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Romania.

The Turkish lira depreciated 12.9% against the euro as of June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019, negatively affecting the business activity of the Turkey operating segment as of June 30, 2020 expressed in euros. See “I tem 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition ―Trends in Exchange Rates”.

See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―The COVID-19 Pandemic” for certain information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group.

See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―The COVID-19 Pandemic” for certain information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group.

Customer deposits at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €40,132 million, a 2.9% decrease compared with the €41,335 million recorded as of December 31, 2019.

Off-balance sheet funds of this operating segment (which includes “Mutual funds” and “Pension funds”) as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €4,212 million, a 7.8% increase compared with the €3,906 million as of December 31, 2019, mainly due to an increase in mutual funds, driven mainly by the decrease in interest rates, which led customers to seek higher returns through investments in market funds.

The non-performing loan ratio of this operating segment stood at 7.0% as of June 30, 2020 and as of December 31, 2019. This operating segment’s non-performing loan coverage ratio increased to 82% as of June 30, 2020 from 75% as of December 31, 2019, due mainly to higher loss allowances made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and, to a lesser extent, certain specific clients in the commercial portfolio.

South America

The South America operating segment includes the Group’s banking and insurance businesses in the region.

The main business units included in the South America operating segment are:

· Retail and Corporate Banking: includes banks in Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

· Insurance: includes insurance businesses in Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela.

As of June 30, 2020, the Argentine peso, the Colombian peso and the Peruvian sol depreciated against the euro compared to December 31, 2019, by 14.6%, 12.5% and 5.7%, respectively. Overall, changes in exchanges rates have negatively affected the business activity of the South America operating segment as of June 30, 2020 expressed in euros. See “I tem 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition ―Trends in Exchange Rates”.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the Argentine and Venezuelan economies were considered to be hyperinflationary as defined by IAS 29 (see “Presentation of Financial Information—Changes in Accounting Policies—Hyperinflationary economies” in our 2019 Form 20-F).

On August 7, 2019, BBVA reached an agreement with Banco GNB Paraguay, S.A., an affiliate of Grupo Financiero Gilinski, for the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Paraguay, S.A. (“BBVA Paraguay”). The consideration for the acquisition of BBVA Paraguay’s shares amounts to approximately $270 million in the aggregate. The abovementioned consideration is subject to certain adjustments for matters between the signing and closing dates of the transaction. It is expected that the transaction will result in a capital gain, net of taxes, of approximately €20 million and in a positive impact on the BBVA Group’s Common Equity Tier 1 (fully loaded) of approximately 6 basis points. The closing of the transaction is subject to obtaining the relevant regulatory authorizations from the competent authorities.

Financial assets designated at fair value for this operating segment (which includes the following portfolios: “Financial assets held for trading”, “Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss”, “Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss” and “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”) as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €8,250 million, a 34.8% increase compared with the €6,120 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, attributable in part to the positive evolution of loans to enterprises.

Financial assets at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €38,742 million, a 2.3% increase compared with the €37,869 million recorded as of December 31, 2019. Within this heading, loans and advances to customers of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €35,336 million, a 1.0% decrease compared with the €35,701 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Argentine peso, the Colombian peso and the Peruvian sol, partially offset by the increase in wholesale loans, particularly in Peru and the increase in drawdowns in business credit lines in the first quarter. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―The COVID-19 Pandemic” for certain information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in these regions.

Customer deposits at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €39,357 million, a 9.0% increase compared with the €36,104 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly as a result of increases in demand deposits due to the measures established by the respective central banks in the region in order to inject liquidity into the economies (as part of the funds provided thereunder have been invested as deposits), and the shift from consumption to savings due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Off-balance sheet funds of this operating segment (which includes “Mutual funds” and “Pension funds”) as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €13,838 million, a 7.6% increase compared with the €12,864 million as of December 31, 2019, mainly due to the recovery in mutual funds by period end after the temporary outflow of resources due to market instability during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The non-performing loan ratio of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 increased to 4.5% compared with 4.4% as of December 31, 2019, as a result mainly of the increase in non-performing loans in Peru and Chile due mainly to the decreased recovery activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by limited entries as a result of the moratoriums and deferrals plans. This operating segment’s non-performing loan coverage ratio increased to 108% as of June 30, 2020, from 100% as of December 31, 2019, mainly due to an increase in the balance of provisions in Colombia and Peru in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rest of Eurasia

This operating segment includes the retail and wholesale banking businesses carried out by the Group in Europe and Asia, except for those businesses comprised in our Spain and Turkey operating segments. In particular, the Group’s activity in Europe is carried out through banks and financial institutions in Switzerland, Italy, Germany and Finland and branches in Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal and the United Kingdom. The Group’s activity in Asia is carried out through branches (in Taipei, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai) and representative offices (in Beijing, Seoul, Mumbai, Abu Dhabi and Jakarta).

Within this heading, loans and advances to customers of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €22,524 million, a 14.5% increase compared with the €19,669 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly as a result of increased corporate and investment banking business in the rest of Europe. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―The COVID-19 Pandemic” for certain information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group.

Customer deposits at amortized cost of this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €4,567 million, a 3.0% decrease compared with the €4,708 million recorded as of December 31, 2019.

Pension funds in this operating segment as of June 30, 2020 amounted to €518 million, a 3.5% increase compared with the €500 million recorded as of December 31, 2019.

The non-performing loan ratio of this segment as of June 30, 2020 decreased to 0.8% from 1.2% as of December 31, 2019, mainly due to the increase in the availability of credit facilities toward the end of the first quarter and the decrease in corporate and investment banking non-performing loans. This operating segment’s non-performing loan coverage ratio increased to 126% as of June 30, 2020, from 98% as of December 31, 2019.

4E. Selected Statistical Information

The following is a presentation of selected statistical information for the periods indicated. Where required under Industry Guide 3, we have provided such selected statistical information separately for our domestic and foreign activities, pursuant to our determination, where applicable, that our foreign operations are significant according to Rule 9-05 of Regulation S-X. The allocation of assets and liabilities is based on the domicile of the Group entity at which the relevant asset or liability is accounted for. Domestic balances are those of Group entities domiciled in Spain, which reflect our domestic activities, and international balances are those of the Group entities domiciled outside of Spain, which reflect our foreign activities.

Certain financial information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 has been restated for comparability purposes. See “Presentation of Financial Information”.

Interest income figures, when used, do not include interest income on non-accruing loans to the extent that cash payments have been received, as a result of the IFRIC interpretation on IFRS 9 “Collection of interest on impaired financial assets”. See “Presentation of Financial Information—IFRS 9 – Collection of interest on impaired financial assets”. Loan fees are included in the computation of interest revenue. Interest income figures include “other income”, which amounted to €214 million and €143 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For additional information on “interest and other income” see Note 32 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Changes in Net Interest Income-Volume and Rate Analysis

The following tables allocate changes in our net interest income between changes in volume and changes in rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2018. Volume and rate variance have been calculated based on movements in average balances over the period and changes in interest rates on average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities. The only out-of-period items and adjustments excluded from the following tables are interest payments on loans which are made in a period other than the period in which they are due.

ASSETS

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks

As of June 30, 2020, interbank deposits (excluding deposits with central banks) represented 5.3% of our total assets. Of such interbank deposits, 15.2% were held outside of Spain and 84.8% in Spain. We believe that our deposits are generally placed with highly rated banks and have a lower risk than many loans we could make in Spain. However, such deposits are subject to the risk that the deposit banks may fail or the banking system of certain of the countries in which a portion of our deposits are made may face liquidity or other problems.

Securities Portfolio

As of June 30, 2020, our total securities portfolio (consisting of investment securities and loans and advances) was carried on our consolidated balance sheet at a carrying amount (equivalent to its market or appraised value as of such date) of €140,138 million, representing 18.6% of our total assets. €36,397 million, or 26.0%, of our securities portfolio consisted of Spanish Treasury bonds and Treasury bills. The average yield during the six months ended June 30, 2020 on the investment securities that BBVA held was 2.2%, compared with an average yield of approximately 3.5% earned on loans and advances during the six months ended June 30, 2020. See Notes 9 and 12 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The first table in Note 12.3 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements sets forth the fair value and the amortized cost of our debt securities recorded under “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

This information is not provided for debt securities recorded under “Financial assets held for trading”, “Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss” and “Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss” since the amortized costs and fair values of these items are the same. See Note 7 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

The second table in Note 12.3 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements shows the fair value of debt securities recorded, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, under “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” by rating categories defined by external rating agencies.

The table in Note 12.2 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements sets forth the fair value and the amortized cost of our equity instruments recorded under “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Readers are directed to the tables and Notes referred to above for information regarding our securities portfolio.

Loans and Advances

See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―The COVID-19 Pandemic” and Note 6.2 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for information on how the Group’s loan activity has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Loans and Advances to Credit Institutions and Central Banks

As of June 30, 2020, our total loans and advances to credit institutions and central banks amounted to €45,194 million, or 6.0% of total assets, of which total loans and advances to credit institutions and central banks at amortized cost amounted to €19,651 million, or 2.6% of total assets. Net of our loss allowance, total loans and advances to credit institutions and central banks at amortized cost amounted to €19,615 million as of June 30, 2020, or 2.6% of total assets.

Loans and Advances to Customers

As of June 30, 2020, our total loans and advances to customers amounted to €413,498 million, or 54.9% of total assets. Net of our loss allowance, total loans and advances to customers amounted to €399,946 million as of June 30, 2020, or 53.1% of our total assets. As of June 30, 2020 our total loans and advances to customers in Spain amounted to €170,585 million. Our total loans and advances to customers outside Spain amounted to €242,913 million as of June 30, 2020.

The following table sets forth a breakdown, by currency, of our net loans and advances to customers as of June 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019:

In other currencies	202,772	204,879	196,401
Total net lending (1)	399,946	395,962	390,596

As of June 30, 2020, total loans and advances by BBVA and its subsidiaries to associates and jointly controlled companies amounted to €1,909 million, compared with €1,682 million as of December 31, 2019. Loans and advances outstanding to the Spanish government and its agencies amounted to €13,424 million, or 3.2% of our total loans and advances to customers as of June 30, 2020, compared with €14,477 million, or 3.5% of our total loans and advances to customers as of December 31, 2019. We also make loans to companies controlled by the Spanish government, but none of our loans to companies controlled by the Spanish government are guaranteed by the government and, accordingly, we apply normal credit criteria in extending credit to such entities. Moreover, we carefully monitor such loans because governmental policies necessarily affect such borrowers.

Diversification in our loan portfolio is our principal means of reducing the risk of loan losses. We also carefully monitor our loans to borrowers in sectors or countries experiencing liquidity problems. Our exposure to our five largest borrowers as of March 31, 2020 (which is the latest available information) excluding government-related loans, amounted to €16,849 million or approximately 4.2% of our total outstanding loans and advances. As of March 31, 2020 (which is the latest available information) there did not exist any concentration of loans exceeding 10% of our total outstanding loans and advances, other than by category as disclosed above.

Maturity and Interest Sensitivity

The following table sets forth a breakdown by maturity of our total loans and advances to customers by domicile of the branch office that issued the loan and the type of customer as of June 30, 2020. The determination of maturities is based on contract terms.

(1) Domestic loans charged off were mainly related to the real estate sector.

When the recovery of any recognized amount is considered to be remote, this amount is removed from the consolidated balance sheet, without prejudice to any actions taken by the consolidated entities in order to collect the amount until their rights extinguish in full through expiry, forgiveness or for other reasons.

The loans charged off amounted to €981 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared with €3,256 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 and €1,361 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as a result mainly of the decrease in loans charged off in Spain, in part due to moratorium measures for bank customers adopted in light of COVID-19.

Our loan loss reserves as a percentage of total loans and advances decreased to 3.34% as of June 30, 2020 from 3.10% as of December 31, 2019.

Impaired Loans

Loans are considered to be credit-impaired under IFRS 9 if one or more events have occurred and they have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the loan.

Amounts collected in relation to impaired financial assets at amortized cost are used to recognize the related accrued interest and any excess amount is used to reduce the unpaid principal. The approximate amount of interest income on our impaired loans which was included in profit attributable to parent company for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was €150 million and €168 million, respectively.

Our total impaired loans amounted to €15,643 million as of June 30, 2020, a 2.0% decrease compared with €15,959 million as of December 31, 2019. This decrease was mainly attributable to the reduction in impaired loans to the public sector and, to a lesser extent, in loans to households, as a result mainly of the moratorium measures for bank customers adopted in light of COVID-19 which led to reclassifications from impaired loans to non-impaired loans.

Our loan loss reserve includes loss reserve for impaired assets and loss reserve for unimpaired assets which present an expected credit loss. As of June 30, 2020, the loan loss reserve amounted to €13,588 million, a 9.3% increase compared with the €12,427 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly due to the deterioration of macroeconomic conditions due to the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following tables provide information regarding impaired loans to customers, central banks and credit institutions recorded under “Financial assets at amortized cost” and accumulated impairment taken for each loan category, as of June 30, 2020, by type of customer:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

As of June 30, 2020, of the total troubled debt restructurings of €16,768 million, €7,760 million were not considered impaired loans.

Potential Problem Loans

The identification of “Potential problem loans” is based on the analysis of historical non-performing asset ratio trends, categorized by products/clients and geographical locations. This analysis is focused on the identification of portfolios with non-performing asset ratio higher than our average non-performing asset ratio. Once these portfolios are identified, we segregate such portfolios into groups with similar characteristics based on the activities to which they are related, geographical location, type of collateral, solvency of the client and loan to value ratio.

The non-performing asset ratio in our domestic real estate and construction portfolio was 11.3% as of June 30, 2020 (compared with 12.3% as of December 31, 2019), significantly higher than the average non-performing asset ratio for all of our domestic activities (4.7% as of June 30, 2020 and 4.9% as of December 31, 2019) and the average non-performing asset ratio for all of our consolidated activities (3.7% as of June 30, 2020 and 3.8% as of December 31, 2019). Within such portfolio, construction loans and property development loans (which exclude mainly infrastructure and civil construction) had a non-performing asset ratio of 7.8% as of June 30, 2020 (9.0% as of December 31, 2019).

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, various national and supranational supervisory authorities have afforded banks with greater flexibility regarding the accounting policy to be applied with respect to potential problem loans, providing the option to suspend the application of accounting guidance for potential problem loans, for a limited period of time, with respect to loans affected by moratoriums or other relief measures adopted by authorities to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. See Note 6.2 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s loans. See also “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5A. Operating Results―Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations and Financial Condition―The COVID-19 Pandemic”.

Foreign Country Outstandings

The following table sets forth, as of the dates indicated, the aggregate amounts of our cross-border outstandings (which consist of loans, interest-bearing deposits with other banks, acceptances and other monetary assets denominated in a currency other than the home-country currency of the office where the item is booked) where outstandings in the borrower’s country exceeded 1% of our total assets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Cross-border outstandings do not include loans in local currency made by our subsidiary banks to customers in other countries to the extent that such loans are funded in the local currency or hedged. As a result, they do not include the vast majority of the loans made by our subsidiaries in South America, Mexico, Turkey and the United States or other regions which are not listed below.

	As of June 30, 2020		As of December 31, 2019
	Amount	% of Total Assets	Amount	% of Total Assets

United Kingdom	6,182	0.8%	6,086	0.9%
Mexico	1,434	0.2%	1,697	0.2%
Turkey	423	0.1%	3,856	0.6%

Other	7,180	1.0%	6,924	1.0%
Total	29,096	3.9%	31,349	4.5%

The Bank of Spain requires that minimum reserves be maintained for cross-border risk arising with respect to loans and other outstandings to countries, or residents of countries, falling into certain categories established by the Bank of Spain on the basis of the level of perceived transfer risk. The category that a country falls into is determined by us, subject to review by the Bank of Spain.

Our exposure to borrowers in countries with difficulties as defined by the OECD, excluding our exposure to subsidiaries or companies we manage and trade-related debt, amounted to €127 million and €184 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. These figures do not reflect loan loss reserves of 15.0% and 12.5%, respectively, of the relevant amounts outstanding at such dates. Deposits with or loans to borrowers in all such countries as of June 30, 2020 did not in the aggregate exceed 0.02% of our total assets.

The country-risk exposures described in the preceding paragraph as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 do not include exposures for which insurance policies have been taken out with third parties that include coverage of the risk of confiscation, expropriation, nationalization, non-transfer, non-convertibility and, if appropriate, war and political violence. The sums insured as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 amounted to $70 million and $73 million, respectively (approximately €62 million and €65 million, respectively, based on a euro/dollar exchange rate on June 30, 2020 of $1.00 = €0.89 and on December 31, 2019 of $1.00 = €0.89).

For an analysis of our deposits recorded under “Financial liabilities at amortized cost”, including non-interest bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, saving deposits and time deposits, see Note 21 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Large denomination deposits may be a less stable source of funds than demand and savings deposits because they are more sensitive to variations in interest rates. For a breakdown by geographic area of customer deposits recorded under “Financial liabilities at amortized cost” as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, see Note 21 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

EQUITY

Total equity

As of June 30, 2020, total equity amounted to €49,555 million, a 9.8% decrease compared to the €54,925 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly as a result of the increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss and the decrease in shareholders’ funds.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)

As of June 30, 2020, the accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to €12,822 million, a 25.4% increase compared to the €10,226 million recorded as of December 31, 2019, mainly as a result of the negative impact of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency positions in Mexico and Colombia.

The majority of the balance is related to the conversion to euros of the financial statements balances from consolidated entities whose functional currency is not the euro.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

Critical Accounting Policies

For a description of our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Critical Accounting Policies” in our 2019 Form 20-F and Note 2.2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

We consider certain of our critical accounting policies to be particularly important due to their effect on the financial reporting of our financial condition and results of operations and because they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Our reported financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to accounting methods, assumptions and estimates that underlie the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The nature of critical accounting policies, the judgments and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors to be considered when reviewing our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For information on the estimates made by the Group in preparing the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statement, see Note 1.6 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

See 6.2.1 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the measurement of expected credit loss.

Additional information on our assessment of goodwill impairment is included below.

Goodwill in consolidation

Pursuant to IFRS 3, if the difference on the date of a business combination between the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of all the non-controlling interests and the fair value of equity interest previously held in the acquired entity, on one hand, and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, on the other hand, is positive, it is recorded as goodwill on the asset side of the balance sheet. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits from assets that cannot be individually identified and separately recognized.

Goodwill is not amortized and is subject periodically to an impairment analysis. Any impaired goodwill is written off.

If the difference is negative, it is recognized directly in the income statement under the heading “Negative goodwill recognized in profit or loss”.

Goodwill is allocated to one or more cash-generating units, or CGUs, expected to benefit from the synergies arising from business combinations. The CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment based on the carrying amount of the unit including the allocated goodwill. Such testing is performed at least annually and whenever there is an indication of impairment.

For the purpose of determining the impairment of a CGU to which a part or all of goodwill has been allocated, the carrying amount of that CGU, adjusted by the theoretical amount of the goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interests, shall be compared to its recoverable amount. The resulting difference shall be apportioned by reducing, firstly, the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to that unit and, secondly, if there are still impairment losses remaining to be recognized, the carrying amount of the rest of the assets. This shall be done by allocating the remaining difference in proportion to the carrying amount of each of the assets in the CGU. In any case, impairment losses on goodwill can never be reversed. The results from each of these tests on the dates mentioned were as follows:

As of June 30, 2020, as a result of the CGUs assessment, the Group concluded there is no evidence of further indicators of impairment that requires recognizing significant additional impairment losses in any of the CGUs where goodwill that the Group has recognized in the consolidated balance sheet is allocated.

As of March 31, 2020, we identified an indicator of impairment of goodwill in the United States CGU and, as a result of the goodwill impairment test performed, an impairment of €2,084 million was recognized in the United States CGU, which was mainly due to the negative impact of the macroeconomic scenario following the COVID-19 pandemic. This recognition did not affect the tangible book value or the solvency ratio of the BBVA Group. For additional information, see Note 17.1 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of December 31, 2019, an impairment of €1,318 million was recognized in the United States CGU and was mainly the result of the negative changes in interest rates, especially in the second half of 2019, which together with the slowdown of the economy caused the expected results to be below the previous estimate. For additional information, see Note 18.1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Group’s most significant goodwill corresponds to the CGU in the United States. The calculation of the impairment test performed in March 2020, used the cash flow projections estimated by the Group’s management, based on the latest budgets available for the next five years. As of March 31, 2020, the Group used a growth rate of 3.0% (3.5% as of December 31, 2019) to extrapolate the cash flows in perpetuity starting on the fifth year, based on the real GDP growth rate of the United States, the expected inflation and the potential growth of the banking sector in the United States. This rate is lower than the historical average nominal GDP growth rate of the United States for the past 30 years and lower than the real GDP growth rate forecasted by the IMF. The rate used to discount cash flows is the cost of capital assigned to the CGU, 10.3% as of March 31, 2020 (10.0% as of December 31, 2019), which consists of the risk free rate plus a risk premium.

As of March 31, 2020 if the discount rate had increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the recoverable amount would have decreased or increased by €755 million and €869 million, respectively (€871 million and €1,017 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019). If, as of March 31, 2020, the growth rate had increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the recoverable amount would have increased or decreased by €270 million and €235 million, respectively (€340 million and €292 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019).

Part of the Group’s goodwill balance corresponds to the CGU in Turkey. The calculation of the impairment loss used the cash flow projections estimated by the Group’s management, based on the latest budgets available for the next five years. As of March 31, 2020, the Group used a growth rate of 7.0% (7.0% as of December 31, 2019) to extrapolate the cash flows in perpetuity starting in the fifth year, based on the real GDP growth rate of Turkey and expected inflation. The rate used to discount cash flows is the cost of capital assigned to the CGU, 18.1% as of March 31, 2020 (17.4% as of December 31, 2019), which consists of the risk free rate plus a risk premium.

As of March 31, 2020 if the discount rate had increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the recoverable amount would have decreased or increased by €166 million and €183 million, respectively (€192 million and €212 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019). If, as of March 31, 2020, the growth rate had increased or decreased by 50 basis points, the recoverable amount would have increased or decreased by €23 million and €21 million, respectively (€31 million and €28 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019).

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the recoverable amounts of the rest of our CGUs were in excess of their carrying value.

5A. Operating Results

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

Trends in Exchange Rates

We are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk in that our reporting currency is the euro, whereas certain of our subsidiaries and investees keep their accounts in other currencies, principally Mexican pesos, U.S. dollars, Turkish liras, Argentine pesos, Colombian pesos and Peruvian soles. For example, if Latin American currencies, the U.S. dollar or the Turkish lira depreciate against the euro, when the results of operations of our subsidiaries in the countries using these currencies are included in our consolidated financial statements, the euro value of their results declines, even if, in local currency terms, their results of operations and financial condition have remained the same. By contrast, the appreciation of Latin American currencies, the U.S. dollar or the Turkish lira against the euro would have a positive impact on the results of operations of our subsidiaries in the countries using these currencies when their results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may limit the ability of our results of operations, stated in euro, to fully show the performance in local currency terms of our subsidiaries.

Except with respect to hyperinflationary economies, the assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries which maintain their accounts in currencies other than the euro have been converted to the euro at the period-end exchange rates and income statement items have been converted at the average exchange rates for the period. See Note 2.2.20 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the application of IAS 29 to hyperinflationary economies. The following table sets forth the exchange rates of several Latin American currencies, the U.S. dollar and the Turkish lira against the euro, expressed in local currency per €1.00 as averages for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, and as period-end exchange rates as of June 30, 2020 and as of December 31, 2019 according to the ECB.

	Average Exchange Rates		Period-end Exchange Rates
	For the six months ended June 30, 2020	For the six months ended June 30, 2019	As of June 30, 2020	As of December 31, 2019
Mexican peso	23.8753	21.6509	25.9470	21.2202
U.S. dollar	1.1018	1.1297	1.1198	1.1234
Argentine peso			78.8283	67.2860
Colombian peso	4,066.2832	3,602.3248	4,209.2274	3,681.5391
Peruvian sol	3.7631	3.7516	3.9470	3.7205
Turkish lira	7.1541	6.3577	7.6761	6.6843

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, foreign exchange markets have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has generally had an adverse impact on currencies of emerging economies. As a result, the Mexican peso, the Colombian peso, the Turkish lira and the Peruvian sol depreciated against the euro in average terms compared with average exchange rates in the prior period. On the other hand, the U.S. dollar appreciated against the euro in average terms. In terms of period-end exchange rates, the Mexican peso, the Argentine peso, the Colombian peso, the Peruvian sol and the Turkish lira depreciated against the euro. On the other hand, the U.S. dollar appreciated against the euro. The overall effect of changes in exchange rates was negative for both the period-on-period comparison of the Group’s income statement and the period-on-period comparison of the Group’s balance sheet.

When comparing two dates or periods in this report on Form 6-K we have sometimes excluded, where specifically indicated, the impact of changes in exchange rates by assuming constant exchange rates. In doing this, with respect to income statement amounts, we have used the average exchange rate for the more recent period for both periods and, with respect to balance sheet amounts, we have used the closing exchange rate of the more recent period for both period ends.

COVID-19 pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, the world economy and economic activity and conditions in the countries in which the Group operates, leading many of them to economic recession. Among other challenges, these countries are experiencing widespread increases in unemployment levels and falls in production, while public debt has increased significantly due to support and spending measures implemented by government authorities. In addition, there has been an increase in debt defaults by both companies and individuals, volatility in the financial markets, volatility in exchange rates and reductions in the value of assets and investments, all of which have adversely affected the Group’s results in the first six months of 2020, and are expected to continue affecting the Group’s results in the future.

Furthermore, the Group may be affected by the measures or recommendations adopted by regulatory authorities in the banking sector, including but not limited to, the recent reductions in reference interest rates, the relaxation of prudential requirements, the suspension of dividend payments until October 1, 2020, the adoption of moratorium measures for bank customers (such as those included in Royal Decree Law 11/2020 in Spain, as well as in the CECA-AEB agreement to which BBVA has adhered and which, among other things, allows loan debtors to extend maturities and defer interest payments) and financing with public guarantees, especially to companies and self-employed individuals, as well as changes in the financial asset purchase programs.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Group has experienced a slowdown in its activity. For example, the granting of new loans to individuals has significantly decreased since the beginning of the state of emergency or periods of confinement decreed in certain countries in which the Group operates. In addition, the Group faces various risks, such as an increased risk of deterioration in the value of its assets (including financial instruments valued at fair value, which may suffer significant fluctuations) and of the securities held for liquidity reasons, a possible significant increase in non-performing loans and a negative impact on the Group’s cost of financing and on its access to financing (especially in an environment where credit ratings are affected).

In addition, in several of the countries in which the Group operates, including Spain, the Group has temporarily closed a significant number of its offices and reduced hours of working with the public, and the teams that provide central services have been working remotely. These measures are being gradually reversed in some regions, such as Spain, however, due to the continued expansion of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unclear how long it will take for normal operations to be fully resumed. The COVID-19 pandemic could also adversely affect the business and operations of third parties that provide critical services to the Group and, in particular, the greater demand and/or reduced availability of certain resources could in some cases make it more difficult for the Group to maintain the required service levels. Furthermore, the increase in remote working has increased the risks related to cybersecurity, as the use of non-corporate networks has increased.

As a result of the above, while the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic only started to be evident at the end of the first quarter of 2020, it has had an adverse effect on the Group’s results for the first half of 2020, as well as on the Group’s capital base as of June 30, 2020. The main accumulated impacts have been the following: (i) an increase in the deterioration of financial assets, mainly due to the deterioration of the macroeconomic scenario, which has had a negative impact of €2,009 million (which includes the initial negative impact of moratoriums) and €95 million in provisions for contingent risks and commitments as of June 30, 2020, and (ii) a deterioration in the goodwill of the Group’s subsidiary in the United States, mainly due to the deterioration of the macroeconomic scenario in the United States, which has had a net negative impact of €2,084 million on the “Profit attributable to parent company” in the six months ended June 30, 2020 (although this impact does not affect the tangible book value, nor the capital or the liquidity of the Group). For information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our capital, see “—Capital”.

The final magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations, which is expected to be significant, will depend on future and uncertain events, including the intensity and persistence over time of the consequences arising from the COVID-19 pandemic in the different geographies in which the Group operates.

Measures adopted in light of the COVID-19 pandemic

For summarized information on certain supervisory pronouncements intended to allow greater flexibility in the implementation of the accounting and prudential frameworks applicable to financial institutions, see “—Pronouncements of regulatory bodies and supervisors regarding COVID-19” below. The Group has taken such pronouncements into consideration when preparing its Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. For summarized information on certain relief measures adopted by the ECB regarding capital and liquidity requirements, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects―5B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital”.

In accordance with the recommendation ECB/2020/19 issued by the ECB on March 27, 2020 on dividend distributions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Directors of BBVA has resolved to modify the dividend policy of the Group, as announced on February 1, 2017, for the 2020 financial year, determining not to pay any dividend corresponding to such year until the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic disappear and, in any case, not before the end of such year. On April 9, 2020, BBVA paid a supplementary cash dividend for the 2019 financial year of a gross amount of €0.16 per share, in line with that approved at BBVA’s General Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 13, 2020. Thus, the total dividend for the 2019 financial year amounts to €0.26 gross per share.

Set forth below is summarized information on certain economic measures that the governments of the main countries where the BBVA Group operates have taken to limit the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as on the measures adopted by the BBVA Group to support its customers pursuant to initiatives required or supported by the relevant governments. See Note 6.2 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on how the Group’s loan activity has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In Europe, fiscal stimulus packages continue to be implemented by all the relevant European authorities, the European Union (EU) and member states, with the recovery fund (Next Generation EU) approved by the EU being the most relevant. Such fund would mean an endowment of €750,000 million to support the recovery within the coming years through the promotion of investment and the development of structural reforms. As a consequence of the transfers expected to be made thereunder, member states most affected by the health crisis would avoid incurring in higher debt and, the plan is expected to result in a lower cost of funding for member states.

Spain

In Spain, measures adopted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic include credit facilities for SMEs and self-employed workers and credit guaranteed by the Instituto de Crédito Oficial (“ICO”), upfront payment of pension payments and unemployment benefits, credit guaranteed by the ICO for rent payment, deferment of insurance and credit cards payments, as well as grace periods on loans for the most affected population.

The adoption of moratorium measures for bank customers in the different countries in which the Group operates (such as those included in Royal Decree Law 11/2020 in Spain, as well as in the CECA-AEB agreement to which BBVA has adhered to in Spain) has resulted in the temporary suspension of all or part of the contractual obligations of certain debtors for a specific period of time. According to IFRS 9, when a moratorium impedes interest collection rights, a temporary loss of value is triggered for the transaction, which is calculated as the difference in current value of the original and modified cash flows, both discounted at the rate of effective interest of the original transaction. This difference is recognized at such initial time in the income statement under the heading “Impairment or reversal of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss or net gains by modification” and in the balance sheet as a reduction in the asset value of the loans. From that point on, such difference accrues as net interest income at the original effective interest rate within the period of the moratorium. Thus, at the end of the moratorium period, the impact on profit attributable to parent company is neutral.

The United States

In the United States, the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates to 0%-0.25% and has stated that it is ready to launch additional measures if necessary. In addition, the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and the business loan program established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which seek to provide economic assistance for workers, families and businesses, and preserve jobs were launched and a new infrastructure spending tax package may be approved.

Measures adopted by the Group in the United States include affording flexibility in the repayment of loans for businesses and for consumer finance customers, and the removal of certain fees for individual customers. In addition, the Group participates in the PPP and other loan programs.

Mexico

During March and April 2020, Banxico, the Mexican Central Bank, reduced the benchmark interest rate and announced certain measures to promote the orderly behavior of the financial markets, strengthen credit granting channels and provide liquidity for the development of the financial system. It also announced a reduction in the Monetary Regulation Deposit, the instrument through which the Central Bank balances its long-term liquidity, and the start of auctions of US dollars with credit institutions in which BBVA Mexico participated in April, in the aggregate amount of $1,250 million, and partially renewed that position in June for $700 million.

Measures adopted by the Group in Mexico include a repayment deferment of up to four months on various credit products, a fixed payment plan to reduce monthly credit card charges, the suspension of point of sale fees to support retailers with lower turnover and certain plans to support larger corporate customers.

Turkey

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Turkish government has announced a program of fiscal measures to offset the effects of the pandemic. The main measures include the increase of minimum pensions for and financial aid to the most affected households, protection of employment and deferment of the payment of taxes in affected industries. The Central Bank has decreased the benchmark rate, most recently to 8.25%, in addition to taking measures to provide liquidity with long term instruments and discount rates.

Measures adopted by the Group in Turkey include a delay of certain loan repayments and penalty-free interest and principal payments.

South America

In Argentina, quarantine extensions have been accompanied by government fiscal support measures targeting certain sectors and regions. In Colombia, production and consumption disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in strong reductions in the components of demand, mainly consumption and investment. In this context, the central bank has reduced the benchmark interest rate by 175 basis points since the start of the pandemic, an approach which is expected to continue until it falls to 2% for the third quarter, and has also carried out liquidity injection programs in addition to bond purchase programs. In Peru, a fiscal package has been implemented to alleviate the negative impacts of COVID-19 on households and businesses.

As for the measures adopted by the Group in South America, in some countries, including Argentina, the Group has provided a credit facility for micro-SMEs to help them purchase remote work equipment and credit facilities intended for payroll payments; in Colombia, the Group has deferred repayments on loans to individuals and companies for up to six months, and it is offering special working capital facilities to companies; and in Peru, various initiatives have been approved to support SMEs, and new types of credit facilities and credit cards have been approved in order to support consumers.

Pronouncements of regulatory bodies and supervisors regarding COVID-19

With the aim of mitigating the impact of COVID-19, various European and international bodies have made pronouncements aimed at allowing greater flexibility in the implementation of the accounting and prudential frameworks applicable to financial institutions.

In particular, the ECB has adopted the following relief measures regarding asset quality deterioration and non-performing loans: (i) with respect to loans affected by legally imposed payment moratoriums related to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has extended flexibility to the unlikely-to-pay classification of such loans in regard to timing and scope of the assessment, taking into account all available support measures, and (ii) with respect to COVID-19 related financing with public guarantees, it has provided flexibility regarding the classification of obligors as unlikely to pay, and will give public-guaranteed loans a preferential treatment in terms of their minimum coverage expectation. Furthermore, Regulation (EU) 2020/873 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 24, amending Regulations (EU) 575/2013, as amended (the “CRR”) and (EU) 2019/876 (the “CRR2”), as regards certain adjustments in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, contains a number of adjustments to CRR and CRR II to facilitate lending by banks as a response to the COVID-19 crisis. The adjustments also reflect recent statements of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision addressing the challenges of the pandemic. These adjustments include extending for two years the transition period for arrangements related to the implementation of IFRS 9; bringing forward the introduction of some capital relief measures for banks under CRR2, including the preferential treatment of certain loans backed by pensions or salaries and of certain exposures to SMEs and infrastructure; and changing the minimum amount of capital that banks are required to hold for non-performing loans under the prudential backstop.

The Group has taken the pronouncements referred to above into consideration when preparing its Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 1.5 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Operating Environment

Our results of operations are dependent, to a large extent, on the level of demand for our products and services (primarily loans and deposits but also intermediation of financial products such as sovereign or corporate debt) in the countries in which we operate. Demand for our products and services in those countries is affected by the performance of their respective economies in terms of GDP, as well as prevailing levels of employment, inflation and, particularly, interest rates. The demand for loans and saving products correlates positively with income, which correlates in turn with GDP, employment and corporate profits evolution. Interest rates have a direct impact on banking results as the banking activity mainly relies on the generation of positive interest margins by paying lower interest on liabilities, primarily deposits, than the interest received on assets, primarily loans. However, it should be noted that higher interest rates, all else being equal, also reduce the demand for banking loans and increase the cost of funding of the banking business.

The uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant fluctuation in asset prices in the financial markets, accompanied by a sharp increase in volatility. The economic environment improved substantially at the end of March following the actions of the U.S. Federal Reserve (which offered unlimited quantitative easing, such as, lending facilities) and a sizable fiscal package announced by the U.S. government, with financial markets remaining broadly stable over the second quarter of 2020. Supportive factors include the reinforcement of previous fiscal and monetary measures by policy makers in the largest economies, the exit process in place of lockdown measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic in most countries and the related rebound in economic activity. Regarding the latter, indicators show that the contraction up to April was deeper than expected and that the improvement since May is robust and relatively widespread, especially in developed economies where the policy support has been more significant. Regarding global growth, BBVA Research continues to expect an “incomplete V” recovery of economic activity, that is, a return to almost previous levels of activity. However, this recovery is expected to be slower than anticipated and heterogeneous across countries. This view builds on the assumption that further waves of contagions of COVID-19 will occur, but without triggering generalized strict lockdown measures, until a vaccine is available. BBVA Research expects the global economy to contract by around 3.2% in 2020 and grow by 5.1% in 2021. Nonetheless, epidemiological, economic, financial and geopolitical factors keep uncertainty at exceptionally high levels and continue to be a source of risks to economic forecasts. The availability of a vaccine for COVID-19 will be particularly relevant.

Regarding the evolution of key economic areas for the Group, BBVA Research expects the Spanish economy to contract by around 11.5% in 2020 and grow by 7% in 2021. The measures implemented for containment and social distancing have lasted longer than expected, but have contributed to control the expansion of COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the impact on economic activity has been significant and greater than initially estimated: the drop in production exceeded 30% during the last two weeks of March and may have reached 50% by the beginning of the second quarter, when activity was limited to essential sectors. Thus, despite the fact that the easing of restrictions has given way to an intense recovery of the economy as from May, the accumulated fall in activity levels between the end of 2019 and the end of the first half of 2020 may have exceeded 20%. BBVA Research expects activity growth to reach 10% in the third quarter of 2020. Growth forecasts continue to be subject to an exceptionally high degree of uncertainty.

Meanwhile, at a European level, packages are being enacted by all relevant European authorities, the EU and member states. There are two broad sets of measures, credit guarantees and new fiscal stimulus, in addition to letting fiscal stabilizers work, relaxing EU fiscal and State aid rules. On average, the fiscal stimulus plus liquidity facilities are expected to be around 20% of EU GDP. Most importantly, the EU Council approved the “Next Generation EU” deal that amounts to €750,000 million (5.4% of the EU’s GDP), to support the recovery in the coming years after the COVID-19 pandemic through the promotion of investment and the implementation of structural reforms. In addition, the ECB has continued to expand its balance sheet, consolidating a strong increase in liquidity (TLTRO-III), by increasing the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (PEPP) by a further €600 billion up to €1.35 trillion.

In Mexico, the sharp contraction of activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the expected subdued recovery thereafter will likely affect investment. BBVA Research’s GDP growth forecast has been revised downward to -10% for 2020, with a range from -12% to -9%. BBVA Research expects a partial recovery of GDP in 2021 with a growth rate of 3.7% (range from 2% to 4.5%). Economic activity bottomed out in the second quarter of 2020 with a two digit fall and the path to recovery is expected to be long and varied amid the long-term shock to employment and household income. During the first half of 2020, formal employment fell by almost 1 million, with a year-on-year decline of 4.3% in June 2020. The loss of jobs both in the formal and informal sectors will likely imply an important decrease in consumption, which BBVA Research estimates will contract by 10.5% in 2020. The challenging context has been affected by the lack of sizeable counter-cyclical policies, which is expected to keep investment weak. BBVA Research expects a drop in investment of around 20.5% in 2020. The new trade treaty with the U.S. and Canada (USMCA) came into effect on July 1, 2020. It represents a medium-term relevant opportunity for Mexico to attract foreign direct investment flows and might bring about growth opportunities for local supply chains. Inflation is expected to remain under control, paving the way for Banxico to cut reference interest rates towards 3% by the end of 2020 from its current level of 5%, according to BBVA Research. BBVA Research expects headline inflation to close 2020 at 3.3% and to ease to 2.8% by the end of 2021.

BBVA Research expects GDP in South America to decrease approximately 10% in 2020, having grown by 1% in 2019. The containment measures applied to contain the epidemic have been stricter and more durable than was estimated a quarter ago. As a result, BBVA Research corrected its growth estimates downwards for all countries in the region. For all the South American economies, BBVA Research expects a partial recovery in 2021 driven mostly by the base effect of the lockdown that will imply an expected growth of 4.5% for the region. BBVA Research expects a slow post COVID-19 recovery given the need to redress resources, the potential bankruptcy of companies and the household income loss.

In the three largest economies of the region, BBVA Research expects severe contractions: Argentina was going through one of its longest recessions when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out. BBVA Research expects a dramatic drop in GDP with a range from -16% to -12%. For 2021, BBVA Research expects a partial recovery with a GDP growth rate of 5.2% (range between 3% and 6%) with high macroeconomic vulnerabilities that will likely deepen once the lockdown is over. In Peru, BBVA Research expects the contraction to be -15% this year (range from -18% to -12%). The second quarter of 2020 was the one with the highest contraction. Considering that many of the restrictions imposed during the lockdown will be increasingly lifted, BBVA Research expects that there will be a partial recovery in the second half of the year and an increase of 8% year-on-year (range from 6.5% to 10.5%) in 2021. BBVA Research expects Colombia to be the least severely affected economy, with an estimated drop in GDP of -7.5% in 2020 (range from -10% to -5%), with severe effects on multiple sectors after the six-week halt in economic activity and the gradual opening up that has been uneven across sectors and regions. For 2021, the year-on-year growth will be driven mostly by the base effect and BBVA Research expects it to be 5.5% (range from 3.5% to 7.5%).

In the United States, the current crisis represents an unprecedented risk to the economy as the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has created a confluence of supply and demand-side shocks. The direct economic impact is expected by BBVA Research to be large, but temporary; however, the second-round effects on the real economy could imply a deeper shock and a slower recovery. Moreover, limited data availability, financial market volatility, and unprecedented policy responses imply elevated uncertainty on the economic outlook during the next few quarters. BBVA Research expects that U.S. GDP will decline by 5.1% in 2020 and increase 3.5% in 2021. The U.S. government has put in place an unprecedented stimulus package that implies a substantial increase in the federal deficit and public debt.

In Turkey, BBVA Research expects GDP to remain flat in 2020 (0% increase) and then to increase 5% in 2021. The Turkish economy grew by 4.5% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2020 and BBVA Research expects a drop in annual terms of -7.5% in the second quarter of 2020. However expansionary fiscal and monetary policies, supportive measures as well as the acceleration in credit growth accompanied by the normalization expectation on the global side could have a positive impact on economic activity in the second half of the year, and could lead to flat growth, within a growth range –given the risk- of between 1% and -3%. Recovery ahead is expected to be supported by the gradual lifting of lockdown measures and by the ongoing credit expansion.

The changes in our unaudited condensed interim consolidated income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were as follows:

Net interest income

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to €8,653 million, a 3.2% decrease compared with the €8,941 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019, mainly as a result of the decrease in net interest income in South America, Mexico and the United States, partially offset by the increase in net interest income in Turkey. As mentioned below, the overall decrease was attributable in part to the depreciation of the main currencies where the BBVA Group operates. At constant exchange rates, net interest income increased by 4.5%. In addition, net interest income was adversely affected by the reductions in reference interest rates.

The following factors, set out by region, contributed to the decrease in net interest income:

· Mexico: there was a 10.7% period-on-period decrease in net interest income due mainly to the decrease in the interest reference rate (by 225 basis points) during the first half of 2020 as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the euro, partially offset by increases in the volume of interest-earning assets in the retail portfolio and in the wholesale portfolio.

· South America: there was a 10.5% period-on-period decrease in net interest income due mainly to the depreciation of the Argentine peso and, to a lesser extent, the Colombian peso against the euro, partially offset by the growth in the yield on interest-earning assets and the increase in the average volume of interest-earning assets in retail and corporate banking, mainly in Peru.

· The United States: there was a 6.9% period-on-period decrease in net interest income due mainly to the Federal Reserve’s decrease in interest rates since the second half of 2019 (by 225 basis points in total), offset modestly by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro.

The decrease in net interest income was partially offset by:

· Turkey: there was a 13.4% period-on-period increase in net interest income mainly as a result of the higher customer spreads in Turkish lira-denominated loans and higher loan volumes, which was partially offset by a lower contribution from inflation-linked bonds and the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro.

Dividend income

Dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to €77 million, a 25.4% decrease compared with the €103 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Share of profit or loss of entities accounted for using the equity method

Share of profit or loss of entities accounted for using the equity method for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was a €17 million loss, compared with the €19 million loss recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Fee and commission income

The breakdown of fee and commission income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 is as follows:

	For the six months ended June 30,

Custody securities	73	59	22.3
Other fees and commissions	297	303	(2.1)
Fee and commission income	3,325	3,661	(9.2)

Fee and commission income decreased by 9.2% to €3,325 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from €3,661 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the lower volume of transactions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly involving credit cards, and the depreciation of the main currencies where the BBVA Group operates, offset in part by increased asset management and securities fees driven by increased market activity during the period.

Fee and commission expense

The breakdown of fee and commission expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 is as follows:

	For the six months ended June 30,

Fee and commission expense decreased by 14.1% to €1,024 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from €1,191 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the lower volume of transactions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly involving credit cards, and the depreciation of the main currencies where the BBVA Group operates.

Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities

Net gains on financial assets and liabilities increased by 93.6% to €790 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a net gain of €408 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, mainly due to greater ALCO portfolio sales in Spain and the United States and increased sales in the Global Markets unit in Mexico and, to a lesser extent, in Turkey and the United States.

The table below provides a breakdown of net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

	For the six months ended June 30,
	For the six months ended June 30,
	2020	2019	Change
	(In Millions of Euros)		(In %)
Gains (losses) on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss, net	229	67	241.0

Gains (losses) from hedge accounting, net	41	73	(44.3)
Net gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities	790	408	93.6

(1) Not meaningful.

Gains on derecognition of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit or loss increased to €229 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from €67 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 mainly due to the higher contribution from the ALCO portfolio, in particular, in Spain and the United States.

Gains on financial assets and liabilities held for trading increased by 8.5%, to €187 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from €173 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Gains on non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss increased by 30.8% to €129 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from €98 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the positive impact of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency positions and the higher contribution from the ALCO portfolio and the Global Markets unit in Mexico and, to a lesser extent, in Turkey and the United States.

Gains (losses) from hedge accounting amounted to a €41 million gain in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from the €73 million gain recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Exchange differences, net

Exchange differences increased to a €316 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from a €134 million gain for the six months ended June 30, 2019 mainly as a result of the positive impact of changes in exchange rates in foreign currency positions, particularly in Turkey.

Other operating income and expense, net

Other operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by 31.7% to €230 million compared with the €337 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019, in part as a result of the depreciation of the main currencies where the BBVA Group operates.

Other operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to €848 million, a 14.8% decrease compared with the €995 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the main currencies where the BBVA Group operates, offset in part by the greater contributions made to the ECB’s Single Resolution Fund and the adjustment for hyperinflation in Argentina.

Income and expense from insurance and reinsurance contracts

Income from insurance and reinsurance contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was €1,307 million, a 15.6% decrease compared with the €1,547 million income recorded for the for the six months ended June 30, 2019, mainly due to the lower insurance activity related to insurance-savings products in Spain (through BBVA Seguros) and the depreciation of the main currencies where the BBVA Group operates against the euro.

Expense from insurance and reinsurance contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was €765 million, a 22.2% decrease compared with the €983 million expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019, mainly as a result of the lower insurance activity related to insurance-savings products in Spain (through BBVA Seguros) and the depreciation of the main currencies where the BBVA Group operates against the euro.

Administration costs

Administration costs, which include personnel expense and other administrative expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to €4,746 million, a 6.6% decrease compared with the €5,084 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019, mainly as a result of lower costs in Spain driven by the efficiency plans and the depreciation of the main currencies where the BBVA Group operates against the euro.

The table below provides a breakdown of personnel expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019:

This impairment had a net negative impact on the “Profit attributable to parent company” of €2,084 million, and was mainly the result of the negative impact of the update of the macroeconomic scenario following the onset of COVID-19. For additional information, see Notes 6.1 and 44 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and “—Critical Accounting Policies—Goodwill in consolidation”.

Operating profit/ (loss) before tax

As a result of the foregoing, operating loss before tax of this operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was €2,500 million compared with the €762 million loss recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

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

Tax income related to loss from continuing operations of this operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to €85 million, a 45.5% decrease compared with the €156 million income recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Tax income related to profit or loss from continuing operations in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was affected by the application of the amendment to IAS 12. See “Presentation of Financial Information―Changes in Accounting Policies—IAS 12 -”Income Taxes” Amendment” in our 2019 Form 20-F.

Profit/ (loss) attributable to parent company

As a result of the foregoing, loss attributable to parent company of this operating segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was €2,416 million, compared with the €616 million loss recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

5B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

See Note 6.3 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the BBVA Group’s liquidity. Certain additional information is provided below.

Customer deposits

Customer deposits (including “Financial liabilities at amortized cost - Customer deposits”, “Financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss – Customer deposits” and “Financial liabilities held for trading – Customer deposits”) amounted to €415,519 million as of June 30, 2020 compared with the €394,924 million as of December 31, 2019, a 5.21% increase, attributable mainly to the increase in demand deposits in Spain and, to a lesser extent, the increase in time deposits in the United States and demand deposits in South America, which more than offset the decrease in customer deposits in Mexico, Turkey and Rest of Eurasia.

Our customer deposits, excluding assets sold under repurchase agreements amounted to €402,947 million as of June 30, 2020 compared with €385,150 million as of December 31, 2019.

Deposits from credit institutions and central banks

The following table shows amounts due to credit institutions and central banks as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 and as of December 31, 2019:

	As of June 30,	As of December 31,	As of June 30,
	2020	2019	2019
	(In Millions of Euros)
Deposits from credit institutions	60,974	53,720	62,632
Deposits from central banks	52,353	33,585	37,114
Total	113,326	87,305	99,746

Deposits from credit institutions and central banks amounted to €113,326 million as of June 30, 2020 compared with the €87,305 million as of December 31, 2019. This increase was mainly attributable to an increase in time deposits from central banks in Spain, mainly due to the increase in deposits made by the ECB under the TLTRO III program and, to a lesser extent, from credit institutions.

Capital markets

We make debt issuances in the domestic and international capital markets in order to finance our activities. As of June 30, 2020 we had €47,733 million of debt certificates, comprising €45,956 million in bonds and debentures and €1,777 million in promissory notes and other securities, compared with €46,329 million, €44,381 million and €1,947 million outstanding, respectively, as of December 31, 2019 (see Note 21.4 to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements).

In addition, we had a total of €16,754 million in subordinated debt and subordinated deposits and €132 million in preferred securities outstanding as of June 30, 2020 compared with €17,859 million and €159 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.

The following is a breakdown as of June 30, 2020 of the maturities of our debt securities (including bonds) from credit institutions and subordinated liabilities. Regulatory equity instruments have been classified according to their contractual maturity:

	Demand	Up to 1 Month	1 to 3 Months	3 to 12 Months	1 to 5 Years	Over 5 years	Total
	(In Millions of Euros)
Debt certificates (excluding subordinated liabilities)	-	654	1,411	10,508	23,732	11,427	47,733
Subordinated debt, subordinated deposits and preferred securities	-	-	-	704	2,984	13,198	16,886
Total	-	654	1,411	11,212	26,715	24,625	64,619

Generation of Cash Flow

We operate in Spain, Mexico, Turkey, the United States and over 30 other countries, mainly in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Our banking subsidiaries around the world, including BBVA USA, are subject to supervision and regulation by a variety of regulatory bodies relating to, among other things, the satisfaction of different solvency, resolution and/or governance requirements. The obligation to satisfy such requirements may affect the ability of our banking subsidiaries, including BBVA USA, to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. In addition, under the laws of the various jurisdictions where our subsidiaries, including BBVA USA, are incorporated, dividends may only be paid out of funds legally available and, in certain cases, subject to the prior approval of the competent regulatory or supervisory authorities. For example, BBVA USA is incorporated in Alabama and under Alabama law it is not able to pay any dividends without the prior approval of the Superintendent of Banking of Alabama if the dividend would exceed the total net earnings for the year combined with the bank’s retained net earnings of the preceding two years.

Even where any applicable requirements are met and funds are legally available, the relevant regulator could advise against the transfer of funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances, for prudence reasons or otherwise.

There is no assurance that in the future other similar restrictions will not be adopted or that, if adopted, they will not negatively affect our liquidity. The geographic diversification of our businesses, however, may help to limit the effect on the Group of any restrictions that could be adopted in any given country.

We believe that our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements and to pursue our planned business strategies.

Capital

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, equity is calculated in accordance with current regulations on minimum capital base requirements for Spanish credit institutions on both an individual and consolidated basis. These regulations dictate how to calculate equity levels, as well as the various internal capital adequacy assessment processes they should have in place and the information such institutions should disclose to the market.

The minimum capital base requirements established by the current regulations are calculated according to the Group’s exposure to credit and dilution risk, counterparty and liquidity risk relating to the trading portfolio, exchange-rate risk and operational risk. In addition, the Group must fulfill the risk concentration limits established in these regulations and internal corporate governance obligations.

On December 4, 2019 BBVA received a communication of the ECB about the results of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (“SREP”), pursuant to which BBVA should maintain, from January 1, 2020 on a consolidated basis, a minimum CET1 capital ratio of 9.27% and a minimum total capital ratio of 12.77%. This total capital requirement at a consolidated level includes: i) a Pillar 1 requirement of 8% that should be fulfilled by a minimum of 4.5% of CET1; ii) a Pillar 2 requirement of 1.5% of CET1 that remains at the same level as the one included in the previous SREP decision; iii) a Capital Conservation buffer of 2.5% of CET1; iv) the Other Systemic Important Institution buffer (OSII) of 0.75% of CET1; and v) the Countercyclical Capital buffer of 0.02% of CET1.

For information on the main measures that national and supranational authorities are taking in the field of prudential regulation in order to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as information on our consolidated ratios and our risk-weighted assets, see Note 29 to our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain additional information is provided below.

BBVA’s fully-loaded CET1 ratio stood at 11.22% at the end of June 2020, +38 basis points compared to March 31, 2020, which represents a significant improvement from such date. As of June 30, 2020, the fully-loaded CET1 management buffer would be 263 basis points with respect to the minimum requirement for CET1 (8.59%), a level that is in the upper part of the target management buffer (225-275 points basic).

Financial market stability in the second quarter, driven largely by the economic stimulus measures announced by the different national and supranational authorities, has allowed for a partial recovery from the shocks produced in the price of assets and has reduced volatility. This has led to a positive contribution of approximately 14 basis points in the fully-loaded CET1 ratio during the quarter.

In addition, the approval by the European Parliament and the European Council of Regulation 2020/873 (known as “CRR Quick Fix”), which amends both Regulation 575/2013 (Capital Requirement Regulation (CRR)) and Regulation 2019/876 (Capital Requirement Regulation 2 (CRR2)) has contributed positively to the capital adequacy ratios. Adjustments included in the CRR Quick Fix which were applicable as of June 30, 2020 (and which were applied by the Group) included bringing forward the introduction of some capital relief measures for banks under CRR2, including the preferential treatment of certain exposures to SMEs and infrastructure and extending for two years the transition period for arrangements related to the implementation of IFRS 9 (the latter only impacted phased-in ratios).

The increase in loans has continued to contribute to the growth of exposures but, in terms of the calculation of the risk-weighted assets (RWAs), the impact of such increase has been mitigated by the state-backed credit programs implemented by the different authorities, which have the effect of decreasing the risk weighting of the related loans. Likewise, the reduction in volatility has also allowed for lower capital requirements in connection with those components of the risk-weighted assets (RWAs) that are more sensitive to these factors, such as those related to regulatory requirements for market risk. Finally, as previously mentioned, the application of the “CRR Quick Fix” has had a positive effect by allowing a reduction in the capital requirements relating to certain exposures.

During the second quarter, risk-weighted assets (RWAs) (fully-loaded) decreased by approximately €6,400 million; while at constant exchange rates, they fell by approximately €2,100 million. In the first half of the year, risk-weighted assets (RWAs) (fully-loaded) decreased by around €2,500 million; while at constant exchange rates, they grew by around €13,800 million.

Fully-loaded Additional Tier 1 capital (AT1) stood at 1.64% at the end of June 2020, remaining at similar levels to the previous quarters.

The fully-loaded Tier 2 ratio stood at 2.36% as of June 30, 2020 representing an increase of 31 basis points compared to December 31, 2019 as a result of the subordinated debt issuances completed in the first half of 2020 and changes in other items eligible as Tier 2 capital during such period. In January 2020, the Bank issued Tier 2 subordinated notes in a principal amount of €1,000 million, with a maturity of ten years, an early redemption option from the fifth year and a coupon of 1%. Regarding the Group’s subsidiaries, Garanti BBVA completed a Tier 2 issue in a principal amount of 750 million Turkish lira in February 2020, with a coupon equal to TLREF (Turkish Lira Overnight Reference Rate) plus 250 basis points, which has been considered for calculating the Group’s adequacy ratios starting in the first quarter of 2020.

Moreover, at the supervisory level, the ECB, in its announcement on March 12, 2020, has allowed banks to use additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital instruments to meet the Pillar II Requirements (P2R), what is known as “tiering of Pillar II”. These measures have been reinforced by the relaxation of the Countercyclical Capital Buffer (CCyB) announced by various national macroprudential authorities and by other complementary measures published by the ECB. All of this has resulted in a reduction of 68 basis points in the fully-loaded CET1 requirement for BBVA, with that requirement standing at 8.59% as of June 30, 2020. The reduction in the requirement at the total ratio level is around 2 basis points only, as a result of the lower applicable countercyclical buffer.

As a result, the Group has modified its CET1 capital target to reflect this new situation, with a management buffer in a range between 225 and 275 basis points over the CET1 requirements. This same range was used in determining the previous fully-loaded CET1 capital target of between 11.5% and 12%, so the new target maintains an equivalent distance in terms of CET1. At the end of June 2020 the fully-loaded CET1 management buffer was 263 basis points.

The phased-in CET1 ratio stood at 11.63% at the end of June 2020, taking into account the transitory effect of the IFRS 9 standard. The phased-in Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 1.68% and the phased-in Tier 2 ratio at 2.58% resulting in a phased-in total capital ratio of 15.89%.

Regarding MREL (Minimum Requirement for own funds and Eligible Liabilities) requirements, BBVA has continued to implement its issuance plan during 2020 by closing two issues of non-preferred senior debt, one in January 2020 for €1,250 million, maturing in seven years and with a coupon of 0.5%, and another in February 2020 for CHF 160 million, maturing in six and a half years and with a coupon of 0.125%. In May 2020, the Group was the first private financial institution in Europe to complete the issuance of a COVID-19 social bond, with excellent market acceptance. This is a 5-year senior preferred bond, with a principal amount of €1,000 million and a coupon of 0.75%.

The Group believes that the present structure of shareholders’ funds and admissible liabilities, together with the proposed plan for future issuances it intends to make, should enable it to comply with its MREL requirement by the date of entry into force of such requirement.

Finally, the Group’s leverage ratio at June 30, 2020 maintained a solid position, at 6.1% fully loaded (6.2% phased-in) which remains the highest among its peer group. These figures do not include the effect of the new July AT1 issuance, which would mean an improvement of +13 basis points, nor the temporary exclusion of certain positions with central banks pursuant to the “CRR-Quick fix”, since the required related approval by the competent authorities for its application is still pending.

Recent Developments

In July 2020, BBVA completed the issuance of the first green convertible bond (CoCo) ever issued by a financial institution worldwide in the amount of €1,000 million, with a coupon of 6% and an option for early amortization in five and a half year. This issuance will be included in the capital adequacy ratios for the third quarter with an estimated impact on AT1 of +28 basis points, which is expected to allow the Group to satisfy its AT1 requirements, including those imposed by Pillar II.

In July 2020, a Tier 2 issue was completed in a principal amount of 300 million of pounds sterling, with a maturity of 11 years, an early redemption option from the sixth year and a 3.104% coupon, which has helped to reinforce the ratio, and diversify the investor base, while improving the price compared to an equivalent issue in euros. This issue will be included in the capital adequacy ratios for the third quarter with an estimated impact on Tier 2 of +2 basis points, which is expected to help allow the Group to cover the relevant capital requirements under Pillar II.

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020

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

1.1 Introduction

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (hereinafter “the Bank” or “BBVA") is a private-law entity subject to the laws and regulations governing banking entities operating in Spain. It carries out its activity through branches and agencies across the country and abroad.

The Bylaws and other public information are available for inspection at the Bank’s registered address (Plaza San Nicolás, 4, Bilbao) as noted on its web site (www.bbva.com).

In addition to the activities it carries out directly, the Bank heads a group of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates which perform a wide range of activities and which together with the Bank constitute the Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Group (hereinafter, “the Group” or “the BBVA Group”). In addition to its own separate financial statements, the Bank is required to prepare consolidated financial statements comprising all consolidated subsidiaries of the Group.

The consolidated Financial Statements of the BBVA Group for the year ended December 31, 2019 were authorized for issue on February 28, 2020.

1.2 Basis for the presentation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

The BBVA Group’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements (hereinafter, the “consolidated Financial Statements”) are presented in accordance with the International Accounting Standard “Interim Financial Reporting” (“IAS 34”) and have been prepared by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on July 29, 2020. In accordance with IAS 34, the interim financial information is prepared solely for the purpose of updating the last annual consolidated Financial Statements, focusing on new activities, events and circumstances that occurred during the period without duplicating the information previously published in those consolidated Financial Statements.

Therefore, the accompanying consolidated Financial Statements do not include all information required by a complete set of consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union (hereinafter, “EU-IFRS”), consequently for an appropriate understanding of the information included in them, they should be read together with the consolidated Financial Statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The aforementioned annual consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in compliance with IFRS-IASB (International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board), as well as in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union (hereinafter, “EU-IFRS”) applicable as of December 31, 2019, considering the Bank of Spain Circular 4/2017, (as amended thereafter) and any other legislation governing financial reporting applicable to the Group in Spain.

F-11

The accompanying consolidated Financial Statements were prepared applying principles of consolidation, accounting policies and valuation criteria, which, as described in Note 2, are the same as those applied in the consolidated Financial Statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, taking into consideration the new Standards and Interpretations that became effective from January 1, 2020 (see Note 2.1), so that they present fairly the Group’s consolidated equity and financial position as of June 30, 2020, together with the consolidated results of its transactions and the consolidated cash flows generated by the Group during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The consolidated Financial Statements and explanatory notes were prepared on the basis of the accounting records kept by the Bank and each of the other entities in the Group. They include the adjustments and reclassifications required to harmonize the accounting policies and valuation criteria used by the entities in the Group.

All effective accounting standards and valuation criteria with a significant effect in the consolidated Financial Statements were applied in their preparation.

The amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions of euros, unless it is more appropriate to use smaller units. Therefore, some items that appear without a balance in these consolidated Financial Statements are due to how the units are expressed. Also, in presenting amounts in millions of euros, the accounting balances have been rounded up or down. It is therefore possible that the totals appearing in some tables are not the exact arithmetical sum of their component figures.

The percentage changes in amounts have been calculated using figures expressed in thousands of euros.

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

1.3 Comparative information

Hyperinflationary economies

In order to make the information as of December 31, 2019 comparable with information as of June 30, 2020, the former has been restated by reclassifying €2,985 million from “Shareholders’ funds – Retained earnings” and €6 million from “Shareholders’ funds – Other reserves” to “Accumulated other comprehensive income – Items that may be reclassified to profit or loss – Foreign currency translation”.

1.4 Seasonal nature of income and expense

The nature of the most significant activities carried out by the BBVA Group’s entities is mainly related to typical activities carried out by financial institutions, and are not significantly affected by seasonal factors within the same year.

1.5 Management and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic

The appearance of the Coronavirus COVID-19 in China and its global expansion to a large number of countries, has motivated the viral outbreak to be classified as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization since last March 11, 2020. The pandemic has affected and continues to adversely affect the world economy and economic activity and conditions in the countries in which the Group operates, leading many of them to economic recession.

In this pandemic situation, BBVA has focused its attention on ensuring the continuity of the business operational security as a priority and monitoring the impacts on the business and on the risks of the Group (such as the impacts on results, capital or liquidity). Additionally, BBVA adopted from the beginning a series of measures to support its main interest groups. In this sense, the purpose and the Group's long-term strategic priorities remain the same and are even reinforced, with a commitment to technology and data-driven decision-making.

With the aim of mitigating the impact of COVID-19, various European and International bodies have made pronouncements aimed at allowing greater flexibility in the implementation of the accounting and prudential frameworks. The BBVA Group has taken these pronouncements into consideration when preparing this report (see Note 6.2.1).

The main impacts of COVID-19 pandemic in the BBVA Group's consolidated Financial Statements are detailed in the following explanatory notes:

· Note 1.6 includes information on the consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic in the estimates made.

· Note 4 mentions the amendment of the Group’s shareholder remuneration policy, in accordance with the recommendation issued by the European Central Bank, which no longer pays any amount as a dividend for the financial year 2020 until as long as the uncertainties generated by the pandemic remain.

· Note 6.1 details the main risks associated with the pandemic as well as the impacts that have occurred both in the activity and in the consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2020.

· Note 6.2 includes information related to the initiatives carried out by the Group to help the most affected clients, jointly with the corresponding governments. Likewise, it contains, among others, information regarding the number of operations and the amount corresponding to moratorium measures, both public and private, granted by the Group worldwide.

· Note 6.3 presents information regarding the impact on liquidity and financing risk.

· Note 17.1 includes information concerning the impairment of the goodwill in the United States carried out for the six months ended June 30, 2020, mainly due to the impact of COVID-19 in updating the macroeconomic scenario and the expected evolution of interest rates.

· Note 29 includes information with regard to the impact on the Group's capital.

1.6 Responsibility for the information and for the estimates made

The information contained in the BBVA Group’s consolidated Financial Statements is the responsibility of the Group’s Directors.

Estimates were required to be made at times when preparing these consolidated Financial Statements in order to calculate the recorded or disclosed amount of some assets, liabilities, income, expense and commitments. These estimates relate mainly to the following:

· Loss allowances on certain financial assets (see Notes 6, 12, 13 and 15).

F-13

· The assumptions used to quantify certain provisions (see Notes 22 and 23) and for the actuarial calculation of post-employment benefit liabilities and commitments (see Note 24).

· The useful life and impairment losses of tangible and intangible assets (see Notes 16, 17, 19 and 20).

· The valuation of goodwill and price allocation of business combinations (see Note 17).

· The fair value of certain unlisted financial assets and liabilities (see Note 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14).

· The recoverability of deferred tax assets (see Note 18).

On March 11, 2020, COVID-19 was declared as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (see Note 1.5). The great uncertainty associated to the unprecedented nature of this pandemic entails a greater complexity of developing reliable estimations and applying judgment.

Therefore, these estimates have been made on the basis of the best available information on the matters analyzed, as of June 30, 2020. However, it is possible that events may take place in the future which could make it necessary to amend these estimations (upward or downward), which would be carried out prospectively, recognizing the effects of the change in estimation in the corresponding consolidated income statement.

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

The accounting policies and methods applied for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated Financial Statements do not differ significantly to those applied in the consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2019 (Note 2), except for the entry into force of new standards and interpretations in 2020.

2.1 Standards and interpretations that became effective in the first six months of 2020

In addition to the mentioned in Note 1.3, the following amendments to the IFRS standards or their interpretations (hereinafter “IFRIC”) became effective on or after January 1, 2020:

IAS 1 and IAS 8 – “Definition of Material”

The amendments clarify the definition of Material in the preparation of the financial statements by aligning the definition of the Conceptual Framework, IAS 1 and IAS 8 (which, before such amendment, contained similar but not identical definitions). The new definition of material is as follows: “information is material if its omission, misrepresentation or obscuration can reasonably be expected to influence the decisions made by the primary users of a specific entity’s general purpose financial statements, based on those financial statements.”

The implementation of this standard has had no significant impact on the Group´s consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 3 – “Definition of a business”

The amendment clarifies the difference between “acquiring a business” or “acquiring a group of assets” for accounting purposes. To determine whether a transaction is the acquisition of a business, an entity has to evaluate and conclude that the following two conditions are met:

· The fair value of the assets acquired is not in a single asset or group of similar assets.

· The set of acquired activities and assets includes, as a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together contribute to the ability to create products.

F-14

The implementation of this standard has had no significant impact on the Group´s consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 – Modifications – IBOR Reform

The IBOR Reform (Phase 1) refers to the amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 issued by the IASB to prevent some hedge accounting from having to be discontinued in the period before the reform of the interest rate references takes place. As the Group applies IAS 39 for hedge accounting, the amendments of IFRS 9 which are stated in this section are not applicable.

In some cases and / or jurisdictions, there may be uncertainty about the future of some interest rate references or their impact on the contracts held by the entity, which directly causes uncertainty about the timing or amounts of the cash flows of the hedged instrument or hedging instrument. Due to such uncertainties, some entities may be forced to discontinue their hedge accounting, or not be able to designate new hedging relationships.

For this reason, the amendments include several transitory reliefs that apply to all hedging relationships that are affected by the uncertainty arising from the IBOR reform; A hedging relationship is affected by the reform if it generates uncertainty about the timing or amount of the cash flows of the hedged financial instrument or that of a hedging instrument referenced to the particular interest rate benchmark. The reliefs refer specifically to the requirements for highly probable future cash flow hedging transactions, to the future and retrospective effectiveness (relief of the compliance of the effectiveness ratio of 80-125%) and to the need to identify each risk component separately.

Since the purpose of the modification is to provide some temporary relief to the application of certain specific requirements of hedge accounting, these exceptions must end once the uncertainty is resolved or the hedging relationship ceases to exist.

The IBORs transition is considered a complex initiative, which affects BBVA Group in different geographical areas and business lines, as well as in multiple products, systems and processes. Thus, the Group has established a transition project, endowed with a robust governance structure, through an Executive Steering Committee, with representation from senior management in the affected areas, reporting directly to the Group's Global Leadership Team. At the local level, each geography has defined a local government structure with the participation of senior management. Coordination between geographies is done through the Project Management Office (PMO) and the Global Working Groups that have a multi-geographic and transversal vision in the areas of Legal, Risk, Regulatory, Finance and Accounting, Engineering and Communication. The project also involves both Corporate Assurance from different geographies and business lines and the Group's Global Corporate Assurance.

BBVA Group has a significant number of financial assets and liabilities whose contracts are referenced to IBORs, especially the EURIBOR, which is used, among others, for loans, deposits and debt issues, as well as underlying in derivative financial instruments. Furthermore, although the exposure to EONIA is lower in the banking book, this IBOR is used as the underlying reference in derivative financial instruments of the trading book, as well as for the treatment of collaterals, mainly in Spain. In the case of LIBOR, the USD is the most relevant currency for, both, debt instruments of the banking book and the trading book. Other LIBOR currencies (CHF, GBP and JPY) have a lower specific weight.

Likewise, the Group maintains cash flow and fair value hedges which are exposed to different IBORs, especially with the EURIBOR, LIBOR USD and to a much lesser extend LIBOR GBP and other indices. The Group considers the amendments to IAS 39 and IFRS 7 applicable in the case of uncertainties about the future cash flows.

As of June 30, 2020, the Group estimates that there exist generally no uncertainties regarding the EURIBOR, as it has been replaced by a hybrid EURIBOR which counts with a methodology that complies with the requirements of the different international institutions. In the case of the rest of the indices which are used for hedge accounting, despite the uncertainty, based on the reliefs which are foreseen in the standard, the hedging relations for the six-month period ended June 2020, have not been affected.

The assumptions made by the Group based on these reliefs are that in the case of cash flow hedges, those hedged cash flows will not be modified because of the reform and, therefore, continue to comply with the requirement of the future transaction to be highly probable. Likewise, at the time of performing the effectiveness test, it is assumed that the reference indices will not be modified by the reform.

F-15

The aforementioned project takes into account the different approaches and transition deadlines to the new RFRs (risk-free rate) when evaluating the economic, operational, legal, financial, reputational or compliance risks associated with the transition, as well as when defining the action lines to mitigate them. A relevant aspect of this transition is its impact on contracts of financial instruments referenced to IBORs maturing after 2021. In this regard, in the case of EONIA, BBVA aims to carry out a novation of contracts maturing after 2021. The Group already has new contractual clauses that incorporate the €STR as a substitute index as well as contractual clauses to incorporate this index as the principal for new contracts. Regarding derivatives, in which EONIA is mainly used, the actions are carried out through the ISDA plan. In the case of LIBOR, there is an additional difficulty related to uncertainty regarding its future. To anticipate, the Group is working on identifying the stock of contracts maturing after 2022 to determine its action plan (including - if possible - the novation of such contracts) and with a view to carrying out actions in cooperation with banking associations. Meanwhile, in the case of EURIBOR, the European authorities have supported the continuity of the index and have supported modifications in its methodology so that it complies with the requirements of the European Reference Index Regulation. BBVA actively participates in various working groups, including the EURO RFR WG that works specifically, among other topics, in the definition of fallbacks in contracts.

The nominal amounts of the interest rate derivatives included in the hedging accounting relations represent the approach of the risk exposure that the Group is managing and are directly affected by the reform and, as a consequence, affected by the temporary reliefs. The nominal amount of the hedging instruments directly affected by the IBOR reform as of June 30, 2020 are the following:

Millions of Euros
	LIBOR USD	LIBOR GBP	*Other - TIIE ()**	TOTAL
Cash flow hedges	10,318	-	601	10,920
Fair value hedges	12,667	299	2,621	15,588

(*) Equilibrium Interbank Interest Rate used in Mexico.

2.2 Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective as of June 30, 2020

The following new International Financial Reporting Standards together with their Interpretations had been published at the date of preparation of the accompanying consolidated Financial Statements, but are not mandatory as of June 30, 2020. Although in some cases the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) allows early adoption before their effective date, the BBVA Group has not proceeded with this option for any such new standards.

IFRS 16 –Leases – COVID-19 modifications

On May 28, 2020, the IASB approved an amendment to IFRS 16 to include a practical expedient to the accounting treatment for rent concessions (moratoriums and temporary rent reductions) that occur due to COVID-19 (see Note 1.5).

The amendment permits lessees to account for rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications to the initial ones. It is applicable to rent concessions related to COVID-19, which reduces lease payments before June 30, 2021.

This amendment is effective from June 1, 2020 and is expected to be endorsed by the European Union in the second half of 2020. The amendment is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated Financial Statements of the Group.

IFRS 17 – Insurance contracts

This Standard will be applied to the accounting years starting on or after January 1, 2023.

F-16

3. BBVA Group

The BBVA Group is an international diversified financial group with a significant presence in retail banking, wholesale banking and asset management. The Group also operates in the insurance sector.

The following information is detailed in the Appendices to the consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2019:

· Appendix I shows relevant information related to the consolidated subsidiaries and structured entities.

· Appendix II shows relevant information related to investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates accounted for using the equity method.

· Appendix III shows the main changes and notification of investments and divestments in the BBVA Group.

· Appendix IV shows fully consolidated subsidiaries with more than 10% owned by non-Group shareholders.

The BBVA Group’s activities are mainly located in Spain, Mexico, South America, the United States and Turkey, with an active presence in other areas of Europe and Asia (see Note 5).

Significant transactions in the first six months of 2020

Agreement for the alliance with Allianz, Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros, S.A.

On April 27, 2020, BBVA reached an agreement with Allianz, Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros, S.A. to create a bancassurance joint venture in Spain including a long-term exclusive distribution agreement for the sale of property-casualty insurance products through BBVA’s banking network in Spain. BBVA will transfer its non-life insurance business in Spain, excluding the health insurance line, to the new joint venture. Excluding a variable part of the price to be paid by Allianz (which may amount to up to €100 million related to achieving specific business goals and certain milestones), it is expected that the transaction will generate a profit net of taxes amounting to approximately €300 million, and that the positive impact on the fully loaded CET1 capital ratio of the BBVA Group will be approximately 7 basis points. The closing of the transaction is subject to obtaining the relevant regulatory authorizations from the competent authorities.

Significant transactions in 2019

Sale of BBVA’s stake in BBVA Paraguay

BBVA reached an agreement with Banco GNB Paraguay S.A., a subsidiary of Grupo Financiero Gilinski, for the sale of its shareholding, directly and indirectly, in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Paraguay, S.A. ("BBVA Paraguay"). BBVA owned, directly and indirectly, 100% of its share capital in BBVA Paraguay.

The sale price of the BBVA Paraguay shares amounts to approximately $270 million. In this type of transaction, the price is subject to adjustments between the date of signature and the closing date of the operation.

It is estimated that the gains (net of taxes) will amount to approximately €20 million and the positive impact on the Common Equity Tier 1 (fully loaded) of the BBVA Group will be approximately 6 basis points. The closing of the transaction is subject to obtaining the relevant regulatory approvals from the appropriate authorities.

4. Shareholder remuneration system

The Annual General Meeting of March 13, 2020, approved the payment in cash of €0.16 (€0.1296 net of withholding tax) for all outstanding BBVA shares as final dividend for 2019. The dividend was paid on April 9, 2020.

On April 30, 2020, in accordance with the recommendation ECB/2020/19 issued by the ECB on March 27, 2020 on dividend distributions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Directors of BBVA has resolved to modify the dividend policy of the Group, as announced on February 1, 2017, for the 2020 financial year, determining not to pay any dividend corresponding to such year until the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic disappear and, in any case, not before the end of such year.

5. Operating segment reporting

Operating segment reporting represents a basic tool in the oversight and management of the BBVA Group’s various activities. The BBVA Group compiles reporting information on disaggregated business activities. These business activities are then aggregated in accordance with the organizational structure determined by the BBVA Group and, ultimately, into the reportable operating segments themselves.

As of June 30, 2020, the structure of the information by business segments of the BBVA Group remains the same as that of the closing of 2019 financial year. The BBVA Group's operating segments are summarized below:

· Spain

Includes mainly the banking and insurance business that the Group carries out in Spain.

· The United States

Includes the business activity of BBVA USA and the activity of the branch of BBVA Spain in New York.

· Mexico

Includes banking and insurance businesses in this country as well as the activity of BBVA Mexico in Houston.

· Turkey

Reports the activity of Garanti BBVA group that is mainly carried out in this country and, to a lesser extent, in Romania and the Netherlands.

· South America

Primarily includes the Group´s banking and insurance businesses in the region.

· Rest of Eurasia

Includes the banking business activity carried out by the Group in Asia and Europe, excluding Spain.

Corporate Center performs centralized Group functions, including: the costs of the head offices with a corporate function, management of structural exchange rate positions and some equity instruments issuances to support an adequate management of the Group's global solvency. It also includes portfolios whose management is not linked to customer relationships, such as industrial holdings, certain tax assets and liabilities; funds due to commitments to employees; goodwill and other intangible assets.

The breakdown of the BBVA Group’s total assets by operating segments as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is as follows:

Total assets by operating segments (Millions of Euros)
	June 2020	December 2019
Spain	419,475	365,380
The United States	101,118	88,529

6. Risk management

The principles and risk management policies, as well as tools and procedures established and implemented in the Group as of June 30, 2020 do not differ significantly from those included in Note 7 in the consolidated Financial Statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2019. Since January 1, 2020, the main changes were due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as detailed in these consolidated Financial Statements.

6.1 Risk factors

BBVA Group has processes in place for identifying risks and analyzing scenarios in order to enable the Group to manage risks in a dynamic and proactive way.

The risk identification processes are forward looking to seek the identification of emerging risks and take into account the concerns of both the business areas, which are close to the reality of the different geographical areas, and the corporate areas and senior management.

Risks are identified and measured consistently using the methodologies deemed appropriate in each case. Their measurement includes the design and application of scenario analyses and stress testing and considers the controls to which the risks are subjected.

As part of this process, a forward projection of the risk appetite framework variables in stress scenarios is conducted in order to identify possible deviations from the established thresholds. If any such deviations are detected, appropriate measures are taken to keep the variables within the target risk profile.

F-19

In this context, there are a number of emerging risks that could affect the evolution of the Group's business, including the below:

· The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is adversely affecting the Group

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected, and is expected to continue to adversely affect, the world economy and economic activity and conditions in the countries in which the Group operates, leading many of them to economic recession. Among other challenges, these countries are experiencing widespread increases in unemployment levels and falls in production, while public debt has increased significantly due to support and spending measures implemented by government authorities. In addition, there has been an increase in debt defaults by both companies and individuals, volatility in the financial markets, volatility in exchange rates and falls in the value of assets and investments, all of which have adversely affected the Group’s results in the first six months of 2020, and are expected to continue affecting the Group’s results in the future.

Furthermore, the Group may be affected by the measures adopted by regulatory authorities in the banking sector, including but not limited to, the recent reductions in reference interest rates, the relaxation of prudential requirements, the suspension of dividend payments until October 1, 2020, the adoption of moratorium measures for bank customers (such as those included in Royal Decree Law 11/2020 in Spain, as well as in the CECA-AEB agreement to which BBVA has adhered and which, among other things, allows loan debtors to extend maturities and defer interest payments) and facilities to grant credit with the benefit of public guarantees, especially to companies and self-employed individuals, as well as changes in the financial asset purchase programs.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Group has experienced a decline in its activity. For example, the granting of new loans to individuals has significantly decreased since the beginning of the state of emergency or periods of confinement decreed in certain countries in which the Group operates. In addition, the Group faces various risks, such as an increased risk of deterioration in the value of its assets (including financial instruments valued at fair value, which may suffer significant fluctuations) and of the securities held for liquidity reasons, a possible significant increase in non-performing loans and a negative impact on the Group’s cost of financing and on its access to financing (especially in an environment where credit ratings are affected).

As a result of the above, while the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic only started to be evident at the end of the first quarter of 2020, it has had an adverse effect on the Group's results for the first half of 2020, as well as on the Group's capital base as of June 30, 2020. The main accumulated impacts have been:

(i) an increase in the cost of risk associated with the lending activity, mainly due to the deterioration of the macroeconomic environment, which has had a negative impact of €2,009 million in the Group (including the initial adverse effect of deferment of payment) and provisions for credit risk and contingent commitments for €95 million. (See Notes 6.2, 41 and 42); and

(ii) a deterioration in the goodwill of the Group's subsidiary in the United States, mainly due to the deterioration of the macroeconomic scenario in the United States, which has had a net negative impact of €2,084 million on the Group's attributed profit in this period (although this impact does not affect the tangible book value, nor the solvency or the liquidity of the Group) (see Notes 17.1 and 44).

The final magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations, which is expected to be significant, will depend on future and uncertain events, including the intensity and persistence over time of the consequences arising from the COVID-19 pandemic in the different geographies in which the Group operates.

F-20

· Macroeconomic and geopolitical risks

· Global economy is being severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread to most countries around the world and is affecting their economies in stages due to the lockdown measures that restrict business, and impact consumer and business confidence. Although many countries in East Asia and Europe now seem to be over the worst of the pandemic and have reopened their economies, it is still spreading in much of the American continent. Governments and central banks have generally implemented fiscal and monetary stimulus measures, which are helping to mitigate the economic impact, but this will not prevent the global economy from entering in a recession during the second half of the year.

· During the second quarter of 2020, the financial markets have generally remained stable due to the actions of the central banks in the developed countries (announcements of asset purchases, lending facilities, interest rate reductions) and various fiscal stimulus packages announced by governments. In addition, the relaxing of the lockdown taking place in most countries and the corresponding upturn in economic activity have contributed to improving economic confidence and activity. With respect to the latter, the indicators generally show that the contraction until April was sharper than expected, but that the improvement since May has been robust and relatively widespread, especially in the developed economies where support through the policies has been more significant and effective.

· In terms of global growth, BBVA Research expects a V-shaped recovery in economic activity, although without reaching pre-crisis GDP levels. This recovery will be slower than expected and will vary across the different regions. BBVA Research's baseline scenario is based on the assumption that there will be further waves of infections until a vaccine or treatment for COVID-19 becomes available, without it resulting in strict lockdown measures. As a result, growth forecasts have been revised downward in 2020 and upward in 2021, with a higher cumulative loss of GDP over the two-year period, especially in emerging countries. More specifically, BBVA Research has adjusted its global growth forecast from -2.4% to around -3.1% in 2020 and from 4.8% to 5.1% in 2021. However, one should keep in mind that epidemiological, economic, financial and geopolitical factors will lead to uncertainty remaining at exceptionally high levels and this will be a source of risk to economic forecasts.

· With regard to the banking system, in an environment in which much of the economic activity has been at a standstill for several months, banking services have played an essential role, fundamentally for two reasons: first, the banks have ensured the proper functioning of collections and payments for households and companies, thereby contributing to the maintenance of economic activity; second, the granting of new lending or the renewal of existing lending has reduced the impact of the economic slowdown on households and business incomes. In the current situation, it is very important to ensure that the temporary liquidity problems faced by companies do not become solvency problems, thus jeopardizing their survival and the jobs they create. As a result, the support provided by the banks during the months of lockdown and the public guarantees have been essential, as the banks have been the only source of financing for most of the companies.

· Although in terms of profitability, European and Spanish banks are still far from the levels seen before the crisis, due mainly to their accumulation of capital and the low interest rate environment we have been experiencing for some time now, the financial institutions are facing this challenge from a healthy position since their solvency has been constantly improving since the 2008 crisis, with increased capital and liquidity buffers and therefore a greater capacity to lend.

· Regulatory and reputational risks

· Financial institutions are exposed to a complex and ever-changing regulatory environment defined by governments and regulators. This can affect their ability to grow and the capacity of certain businesses to develop, and result in stricter liquidity and capital requirements with lower profitability ratios. The Group constantly monitors changes in the regulatory framework that allow for anticipation and adaptation to them in a timely manner, adopt industry practices and more efficient and rigorous criteria in its implementation.

· The financial sector is under ever closer scrutiny by regulators, governments and society itself. In the course of activities, situations which might cause relevant reputational damage to the entity could raise and might affect the regular course of business. The attitudes and behaviors of the Group and its members are governed by the principles of integrity, honesty, long-term vision and industry practices through, inter alia, the internal control model, the Code of Conduct, the Corporate Principles in tax matters and Responsible Business Strategy of the Group.

F-21

· Business, operational and legal risks

· New technologies and forms of customer relationships: Developments in the digital world and in information technologies pose significant challenges for financial institutions, entailing threats (new competitors, disintermediation, etc.) but also opportunities (new framework of relations with customers, greater ability to adapt to their needs, new products and distribution channels, etc.). Digital transformation is a priority for the Group as it aims to lead digital banking of the future as one of its objectives.

· Technological risks and security breaches: The Group is exposed to new threats such as cyber-attacks, theft of internal and customer databases, fraud in payment systems, etc. that require major investments in security from both the technological and human point of view. The Group gives great importance to the active operational and technological risk management and control.

· The financial sector faces an environment of increasing regulatory and litigious pressure, and thus, the various Group entities are usually party to individual or collective judicial proceedings (including class actions) resulting from their activity and operations, as well as arbitration proceedings. The Group is also party to other government procedures and investigations, such as those carried out by the antitrust authorities in certain countries which, among other things, have in the past and could in the future result into sanctions, as well as lead to claims by customers and others. In addition, the regulatory framework, in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates, is evolving towards a supervisory approach more focused on the opening of sanctioning proceedings while some regulators are focusing their attention on consumer protection and behavioral risk.

· In Spain and in other jurisdictions where the Group operates, legal and regulatory actions and proceedings against financial institutions, prompted in part by certain judgments in favor of consumers handed down by national and supranational courts, have increased significantly in recent years and this trend could continue in the future. The legal and regulatory actions and proceedings faced by other financial institutions in relation to these and other matters, especially if such actions or proceedings result in favorable resolutions for the consumer, could also adversely affect the Group.

In relation to consumer mortgage loan contracts linked to the index known as IRPH (average rate of mortgage loans over three years for free home purchase), considered “official interest rate ”By the mortgage transparency regulations, calculated by the Bank of Spain and published in the Official State Gazette, on 14 December 2017 the Supreme Court issued judgment 669/2017 in which it confirmed that it was not possible to determine the lack of transparency of the interest rate of the loan by the mere fact of its reference to one or the other official index, nor therefore its abuse according to Directive 93/13. In a separate legal proceeding, albeit concerning the same clause, the matter was referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union, raising a preliminary question in which the application of the aforementioned IRPH index and the decision of the Supreme Court on the matter was questioned again. On March 3, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union resolved the referred question for a preliminary ruling.

In that resolution, the Court of Justice of the European Union concludes that the main elements relating to the calculation of the saving banks IRPH index used by the bank to which the question referred (Bankia, SA) refers were contained in Circular 8/1990 of the Banco de España published in the Official State Gazette allowed consumers to understand the calculation of said index. Additionally, the Court of Justice of the European Union indicates that the national court must verify whether the entity to which the resolution refers complied with the information obligations established by national regulations. In the event that the entity had not complied with the applicable transparency regulations, the resolution does not declare the contract null and void but rather establishes that the national court could replace the IRPH index applied in the case prosecuted for a substitute index. The resolution sets forth that, in the absence of an agreement to the contrary of the parties to the contract, the referred substitute index could be the IRPH index for credit entities in Spain (as established in the fifteenth additional provision of Law 14/2013, of September 27, 2013). BBVA considers that the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union should not have significant effects on the Group's business, financial situation or results of operations.

F-22

Additionally, there are also claims before the Spanish courts that question the application of certain interest rates and other mandatory rules to certain revolving credit card agreements. On March 4, 2020, the Supreme Court has issued judgment (number 149/2020) in which it confirms the nullity of a revolving credit agreement through the use of a card signed by another entity (Wizink Bank) as the remunerative interest is considered usurious. In said judgment, the Supreme Court recognizes that the reference to the “normal interest on money” to be used for this product must be the average interest applicable to credit card and revolving credit operations published in the statistics of the Bank of Spain and that it is somewhat higher than 20% per year. In the specific case, the Supreme Court has considered a rate of 26.82% as usurious compared to 20% of the average interest. The Supreme Court concludes that for an interest rate to be usurious, must be "manifestly disproportionate to the circumstances of the case", so that the sentence limits its effects to the case analyzed, and the marketing by financial entities of this product must be analyzed, case by case. BBVA considers that the ruling of the Supreme Court should not have significant effects on the Group's business, financial situation or results of operations.

· All of the above may result in a significant increase in operating and compliance costs or even a reduction of revenues, and it is possible that an adverse outcome in any proceedings (depending on the amount thereof, the penalties imposed or the procedural or management costs for the Group) could damage the Group's reputation, generate a knock-on effect or otherwise adversely affect the Group.

· It is difficult to predict the outcome of legal and regulatory actions and proceedings, both those to which the Group is currently exposed and those that may arise in the future, including actions and proceedings relating to former Group subsidiaries or in respect of which the Group may have indemnification obligations, but such outcome could be significantly adverse to the Group. In addition, a decision in any matter, whether against the Group or against another credit entity facing similar claims as those faced by the Group, could give rise to other claims against the Group. In addition, these actions and proceedings attract resources from the Group and may occupy a great deal of attention on part of the Group's management and employees.

· As of June 30, 2020, the Group had €738 million in provisions for the proceedings it is facing (included in the line "Provisions for litigation and pending tax cases" in the consolidated balance sheet) (see Note 23). However, the uncertainty arising from these proceedings (including those for which no provisions have been made, either because it is not possible to estimate them or for other reasons) makes it impossible to guarantee that the possible losses arising from these proceedings will not exceed, where applicable, the amounts that the Group currently has provisioned and, therefore, could affect the Group's consolidated results in a given period.

· Legal and regulatory actions and proceedings currently faced by the Group or to which it may become subject in the future or otherwise affected by, individually or in the aggregate, if resolved in whole or in part adversely to the Group´s interests, could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

· Spanish judicial authorities are investigating the activities of Centro Exclusivo de Negocios y Transacciones, S.L. (“Cenyt”). Such investigation includes the provision of services by Cenyt to BBVA. On July 29, 2019, BBVA was named as an investigated party (investigado) in a criminal judicial investigation (Preliminary Proceeding No. 96/2017 – Piece No. 9, Central Investigating Court No. 6 of the National High Court) for alleged facts which could represent the crimes of bribery, revelation of secrets and corruption. As of the date of the approval of these consolidated Financial Statements, no formal accusation against BBVA has been made. Certain current and former officers and employees of the BBVA Group, as well as former directors, have also been named as investigated parties in connection with this investigation. BBVA has been and continues to be proactively collaborating with the Spanish judicial authorities, including sharing with the courts information from its on-going forensic investigation regarding its relationship with Cenyt. BBVA has also testified before the judge and prosecutors at the request of the Central Investigating Court No. 6 of the National High Court. On February 3, 2020, BBVA was notified by the Central Investigating Court No. 6 of the National High Court of the order lifting the secrecy of the proceedings. This criminal judicial proceeding is at a preliminary stage. Therefore, it is not possible at this time to predict the scope or duration of such proceeding or any related proceeding or its or their possible outcomes or implications for the Group, including any fines, damages or harm to the Group’s reputation caused thereby.

6.2 Credit risk

The banks are a key part of the solution to the COVID-19 crisis. Specifically, BBVA, has activated support initiatives with a focus on the most affected customers, regardless of whether they are companies, SMEs, self-employed workers or private individuals. The following are just some of those initiatives:

· In Spain, credit facilities for SMEs and self-employed workers, and credit guaranteed by the Instituto de Crédito Oficial (“ICO”), deferment of pension payments and unemployment benefits, credit guaranteed by the ICO for rent payment and deferment of insurance and credit cards payments, and repayment deferments periods on loans to consumers and companies.

· In the United States, flexibility in the repayment of loans for small businesses and for consumer finance, and the removal of certain fees for individual customers;

· In Mexico, a repayment deferment on various credit products, a fixed payment plan to reduce monthly credit card charges, interruption of point of sale fees to support retailers with lower turnover and certain plans to support larger corporate customers;

· In Turkey, delay of loan repayments, interests and amortizations.

· In South America, some countries such as Argentina have provided a credit facility for micro-SMEs to help them purchase remote work equipment and credit facilities for payroll payments; Colombia has frozen repayments for up to six months on loans to individuals and companies, and is offering a special working capital facility for companies; and in Peru, various initiatives have been approved to support SMEs, and recent credit facilities and credit cards have been approved in order to support consumers.

The amount of deferment of payments (existing and completed) and the financing granted with public guarantees given at a Group level, as well as the number of customers of both measures, as of June 30, 2020 are as follows:

COVID-19 support programs (Millions of Euros)
	Deferment of payments				Financing with public guarantees
	Existing	Completed	Total	Number of customers	Total	Number of customers	Total deferment of payments and guarantees	(%) credit investment
Group	29,668	6,590	36,259	3,138,894	13,791	196,186	50,050	11.9%

The amount of deferment of payments (existing and completed) and financing granted with public guarantees given at a Group level, broken down by segment, as of June 30, 2020 are as follows:

COVID-19 support programs (Millions of Euros)
	Deferment of payments			Financing with public guarantees
	Existing	Completed	Total	Financing with public guarantees
Group	29,668	6,590	36,259	13,791
Customers	17,975	3,563	21,538	863
Mortgages	9,318	2,152	11,470	1
SMEs	6,397	792	7,189	7,723
Non-financial corporations	5,006	2,221	7,227	5,126
Other	290	14	304	79

F-24

The adoption of deferment of payment measures for bank customers in the different countries in which the Group operates (such as those included in Royal Decree Law 11/2020, as well as in the CECA-AEB agreement to which BBVA has adhered to in Spain) results in the temporary suspension, total or partial, of the contractual obligations with a deferral for a specific period of time. According to IFRS 9, when a deferment of payment does not generate interest collection rights, a temporary loss of value is triggered for the operation, which is calculated as the difference in current value of the original and modified cash flows, both discounted at the effective interest rate of the original operation. The difference is recognized at the original time in the income statement under the heading “Impairment or (reversal) of impairment on financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss or net gains by modification” and its counterpart is a correction of the asset value of the loans. From that point on, said correction accrues as net interest income at the original effective interest rate within the period of the deferment of payment. Thus, at the end of the moratorium period, the impact on net attributed profit is neutral.

The quantitative information on refinancing and restructuring operations is presented in the Appendix I “Quantitative information refinancing and restructuring operations and other requirement under Bank of Spain Circular 6/2012”.

6.2.1 Measurement of Expected Credit Loss (ECL)

IFRS 9 requires determining the expected credit loss of a financial instrument in a way that reflects an unbiased estimation removing any conservatism or optimism, the time value of money and a forward looking perspective (including the economic forecast), all based on the information that is available at a certain time and that is reasonable and bearable regarding future economic conditions.

Therefore the recognition and measurement of expected credit loss (ECL) is highly complex and involves the use of significant analysis and estimation including formulation and incorporation of forward-looking economic conditions into ECL.

Risk Parameters Adjusted by Macroeconomic Scenarios

Expected credit loss (ECL) must include forward looking information, in accordance with IFRS 9, which states that the comprehensive credit risk information must incorporate not only historical information but also all relevant credit information, also including forward-looking macroeconomic information. BBVA uses the classical credit risk parameters PD, LGD and EAD in order to calculate the ECL for the credit portfolios.

BBVA´s methodological approach in order to incorporate the forward looking information aims to determine the relation between macroeconomic variables and risk parameters following three main steps:

· Step 1: Analysis and transformation of time series data.

· Step 2: For each dependent variable find conditional forecasting models that are economically consistent.

· Step 3: Select the best conditional forecasting model from the set of candidates defined in Step 2, based on their forecasting capacity.

How economic scenarios are reflected in calculation of ECL

The forward looking component is added to the calculation of the ECL through the introduction of macroeconomic scenarios as an input. Inputs highly depend on the particular combination of region and portfolio, so inputs are adapted to available data regarding each of them.

Based on economic theory and analysis, the main indicators most directly relevant for explaining and forecasting the selected risk parameters (PD, LGD and EAD) are:

· The net income of families, corporates or public administrations.

· The outstanding payment amounts on the principal and interest on the financial instruments.

· The value of the collateral assets pledged to the loan.

F-25

BBVA Group approximates these variables by using a proxy indicator from the set included in the macroeconomic scenarios provided by BBVA Research department.

Only a single specific indicator for each of the three categories can be used and only one of the following core macroeconomic indicators should be chosen as first option:

· The real GDP growth for the purpose of conditional forecasting can be seen as the only “factor” required for capturing the influence of all potentially relevant macro-financial scenarios on internal PDs and LGD.

· The most representative short term interest rate (typically the policy rate or the most liquid sovereign yield or interbank rate) or exchange rates expressed in real terms.

· A comprehensive and representative index of the price of real estate properties expressed in real terms in the case of mortgage loans and a representative and real term index of the price of the relevant commodity for corporate loan portfolios concentrated in exporters or producers of such commodity.

Real GDP growth is given priority over any other indicator not only because it is the most comprehensive indicator of income and economic activity but also because it is the central variable in the generation of macroeconomic scenarios.

Multiple scenario approach

IFRS 9 requires calculating an unbiased probability weighted measurement of expected credit losses (“ECL”) by evaluating a range of possible outcomes, including forecasts of future economic conditions.

The BBVA Research teams within the BBVA Group produce forecasts of the macroeconomic variables under the baseline scenario, which are used in the rest of the related processes of the Group, such as budgeting, ICAAP and risk appetite framework, stress testing, etc.

Additionally, the BBVA Research teams produce alternative scenarios to the baseline scenario so as to meet the requirements under the IFRS 9 standard.

Alternative macroeconomic scenarios

· For each of the macro-financial variables, BBVA Research produces three scenarios.

· BBVA Research tracks, analyzes and forecasts the economic environment to provide a consistent forward looking assessment about the most likely scenario and risks that impact BBVA’s footprint. To build economic scenarios, BBVA Research combines official data, econometric techniques and expert judgment.

· Each of these scenarios corresponds to the expected value of a different area of the probabilistic distribution of the possible projections of the economic variables.

· The non-linearity overlay is defined as the ratio between the probability-weighted ECL under the alternative scenarios and the baseline scenario, where the scenario’s probability depends on the distance of the alternative scenarios from the base one.

· BBVA Group establishes equally weighted scenarios, being the probability 34% for the baseline scenario, 33% for the worst alternative scenario and 33% for the best alternative scenario.

BBVA Group considers three prospective macroeconomic scenarios that it updates periodically (currently quarterly). BBVA Research forecasts a maximum of five years for macroeconomic variables.

The approach in BBVA consists of using the scenario that is the most likely scenario, which is the baseline scenario, consistent with the rest of internal processes (ICAAP, Budgeting…) and then applying an overlay adjustment that is calculated by taking into account the weighted average of the ECL determined by each of the scenarios.

F-26

It is important to note that in general, it is expected that the effect of the overlay is to increase the ECL. It is possible to obtain an overlay that does not have that effect, whenever the relationship between macro scenarios and losses is linear. However, the overlay is not expected to reduce the ECL.

Macroeconomic scenarios as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a macroeconomic uncertainty situation with a direct impact on credit risk of the entities, particularly, on the expected credit losses under IFRS9. Even if the situation is unclear and of an unforeseeable time length, the expectation is that this situation will provoke a severe recession followed by an economic recovery, which will not achieve the pre-crisis GDP levels in the short-term, supported by the measures issued by governments and monetary authorities.

This situation has allowed the accounting authorities and the banking supervisors to adopt measures in order to mitigate the impacts that this crisis could imply on the calculation of expected credit losses under IFRS9 as well as on solvency, urging:

· the entities to mitigate the potential procyclicality of the accounting regulation,

· the governments to adopt measures to avoid the effects of impairment,

· the entities to develop managerial measures as the design of specific products adapted to the situation which could occur during this crisis.

Almost all accounting and prudential authorities have coordinately issued recommendations or measures within the COVID-19 crisis framework regarding the estimation of the expected losses under IFRS9.

The common denominator of all of these recommendations is that, given the difficulty to elaborate reliable macroeconomic forecasts, the transitory term of the economic shock and the need to incorporate the effect of the mitigating measures issued by the governments, a review the automatic application of the models in order to balance them and increase the weight of the long-term macroeconomic forecasts in the calculation of the expected losses is needed. As a result, the expected results over the lifetime of the transactions will have more weight than the short-term macroeconomic impact.

In this respect, the BBVA Group has taken into account those recommendations in the calculation of the expected credit losses under IFRS 9, considering that the economic situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is transitory and will be followed by a recovery, even if there is uncertainty over the level and the time period of such uncertainty. As a consequence, different scenarios have been taken into consideration in the calculation of expected losses, registering the model management believes suits best the current economic situation and the combined recommendations issued by the authorities. In addition to the outcome of the calculation of the scenarios, individual analysis of exposures which could be most affected by the circumstances caused by the COVID-19, have been taken into account.

The estimate for the next five years of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), of the variation in the unemployment rate and of the House Price Index (HPI), for the most relevant countries where it represents a significant factor, is determined by BBVA Research and it has been used at the time of the calculation of the expected credit loss as of June 30, 2020:

6.3 Liquidity and funding risk

Since the beginning of March, the global crisis caused by COVID-19 has had a significant impact on financial markets. The effects of this crisis on the Group's consolidated balance sheets have fundamentally been felt initially through increased drawdowns of credit facilities by wholesale customers in the face of worsening funding conditions in the markets, with no significant effect in the retail world. In view of this situation, there was a joint response by various central banks, through specific measures and programs to facilitate the funding of the real economy and the provision of liquidity in the financial markets. During the second quarter, significant net repayments were made by certain wholesale customers who had drawn down credit facilities during the first quarter of the year.

BBVA Group´s liquidity position in every geographical area allows its regulatory ratios to be above the minimum required:

· The BBVA Group's liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) remained significantly above 100% and stood at 159% as of June 30, 2020. For the calculation of this ratio, it is assumed that there is no transfer of liquidity among subsidiaries; i.e. no kind of excess liquidity levels in foreign subsidiaries are considered in the calculation of the consolidated ratio. When considering these excess liquidity levels, the BBVA Group's LCR would stand at 191% (32 percentage points above 159%). In addition, it exceeded 100% in all subsidiaries.

· The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), defined as the ratio between the amount of stable funding available and the amount of stable funding required, is one of the Basel Committee's essential reforms, and requires banks to maintain a stable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and off-balance sheet activities. This ratio should be at least 100% at all times. At the BBVA Group, the NSFR, calculated according to the Basel requirements, remained above 100% throughout 2019 and stood at 124% as of June 30, 2020.

The wholesale funding markets in which the Group operates were affected by the events of COVID-19 and secondary market prices suffered a material correction as a result of the increased volatility. This led to a significant increase in the issue premiums and levels of access to the primary market. While certain degrees of volatility are still notable, this situation has been stabilizing and prices in the secondary market have been correcting themselves.

The main transactions carried out by the companies that form part of the BBVA Group in the first half of 2020 were:

· During the first quarter of 2020, BBVA, S.A. carried out two issuances of senior non-preferred debt totaling €1,400 million and a Tier 2 issuance totaling €1,000 million. In the second quarter of 2020, it issued preferred senior debt totaling €1,000 million as a COVID-19 social bond, the first of its kind from a private financial institution in Europe. In July 2020 two issuances were made: the first, is the first green convertible bond (CoCo) ever issued by a financial institution worldwide for the amount of €1,000 million, with a coupon of 6% and an option for early amortization in five and a half years (see Note 50); and the second, a subordinated debt issuance of Tier 2 in Pounds sterling, for the amount of 300 million, to a term of eleven years and option of amortization to the sixth, with a coupon of 3.104%.

F-32

· In Mexico, a local senior issuance was carried out in February 2020 for MXN 15,000 million (€578 million in euros) in three tranches. Two tranches in Mexican pesos over 3 and 5 years (one for MXN 7,123 million at the Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate (TIIE) 28 + 5 basis points and another for MXN 6,000 million at TIIE 28 + 15 basis points, respectively), and another tranche in US dollars over 3 years (USD 100 million at 3-month Libor + 49 basis points).

· In Turkey, Garanti BBVA carried out a Tier 2 issuance for TRY 750 million in the first quarter of 2020. In the second quarter of 2020, Garanti BBVA renewed a syndicated loan by issuing the first green syndicated loan indexed to sustainability criteria, and in whose renovation the EBRD -European Bank for Reconstruction and Development- and the IFC -International Finance Corporation- have participated.

7. Fair value of financial instruments

The criteria and valuation methods used to calculate the fair value of financial assets as of June 30, 2020 do not differ significantly from those included in Note 8 from the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The techniques and unobservable inputs used for the valuation of the financial instruments classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 3, do not significantly differ from those detailed in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for the year 2019 Nevertheless, the level of significance of the unobservable inputs used to determine the hierarchy of the fair value of loans and advances to customers at amortized cost has been revised, resulting in greater exposure classified as level 3.

The effect on the consolidated income statements and on the consolidated equity, resulting from changing the main assumptions used in the valuation of Level 3 financial instruments for other reasonably possible assumptions, does not differ significantly from that detailed in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for the year 2019.

Below is a comparison of the carrying amount of the Group’s financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and their respective fair values as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Impairment test

As mentioned in Note 2.2.8 of the consolidated Financial Statements of the year 2019, the CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated, are periodically tested for impairment by including the allocated goodwill in their carrying amount. This analysis is performed at least annually and whenever there is any indication of impairment.

The BBVA Group performs estimations on the recoverable amount of certain CGU´s by calculating the value in use through the discounted value of future cash flows method.

The main hypotheses used for the value in use calculation are the following:

· The forecast cash flows, including net interest margin, estimated by the Group's management, and based on the latest available financial statements budgets for the next 3 to 5 years, considering the macroeconomic variables of each CGU, regarding the existing balance structure as well as macroeconomic variables such as the evolution of interest rates and the CPI of the geography where the CGU is located, among others.

· The constant growth rate for extrapolating cash flows, starting in the third or fifth year, beyond the period covered by the budgets or forecasts.

· The discount rate on future cash flows, which coincides with the cost of capital assigned to each CGU, and which consists of a risk-free rate plus a premium that reflects the inherent risk of each of the businesses evaluated.

The focus used by the Group's management to determine the values of the assumptions is based both on its projections and past experience. These values are verified and use external sources of information, wherever possible. Additionally, the valuations of the goodwill of the CGUs of the United States and Turkey have been reviewed by independent experts (not the Group's external auditors) as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. However, certain changes to the valuation assumptions used could cause differences in the impairment test result.

F-41

As of December 31, 2019, the Group estimated impairment losses in the United States CGU of €1,318 million, which was mainly as a result of the negative evolution of interest rates, especially in the second half of the year, which accompanied by the slowdown of the economy caused the expected evolution of results below the previous estimation. This recognition did not affect the tangible book value nor the liquidity nor the capital of the BBVA Group.

As of March 31, 2020, the Group identified an indicator of impairment of goodwill in the CGU and as a result of the goodwill impairment test, the Group estimated impairment in the United States CGU, of €2,084 million (see Note 44), which was mainly due to the negative impact of the update of the macroeconomic scenario following the COVID-19 pandemic (see Note 1.5) and the expected evolution of interest rates. This recognition did not affect the tangible book value nor the liquidity nor the capital of the BBVA Group.

As of June 30, 2020, as a result of the CGU´s assessment, the Group concluded there is no evidence of further indicators of impairment losses that requires recognizing significant additional impairment losses in any of the CGUs where goodwill that the Group has recognized in the consolidated balance sheet is allocated.

Goodwill - The United States CGU

The Group’s most significant goodwill corresponds to the CGU in the United States, the main significant assumptions used in the impairment test as of March 31, 2020 of this mentioned CGU, were:

Impairment test assumptions CGU goodwill in the United States
	March 2020	December 2019
Discount rate	10.3%	10.0%
Growth rate	3.0%	3.5%

In accordance with paragraph 33.c of IAS 36, as of March 31, 2020, the Group used a growth rate of 3.0% based on the real GDP growth rate of the United States, the expected inflation and the potential growth of the banking sector in the United States. This 3.0% rate is lower than the historical average of the past 30 years of the nominal GDP rate of the United States and lower than the real GDP growth forecasted by the IMF.

The assumptions with a greater relative weight and whose volatility could have a greater impact in determining the present value of the cash flows starting on the fifth year are the discount rate and the growth rate. Below is shown the increased (or decreased) amount of the CGU recoverable amount as a result of a reasonable variation (in basis points) of each of the key assumptions as of March 31, 2020:

Sensitivity analysis for main assumptions - The United States (Millions of Euros)
	*Increase of 50 basis points ()**	*Decrease of 50 basis points ()**
Discount rate	(755)	869
Growth rate	270	(235)

(*) Based on historical changes, the use of 50 basis points to calculate the sensitivity analysis would be a reasonable variation with respect to the observed variations over the last five years.

Goodwill - Turkey CGU

The main significant assumptions used in the impairment test as of March 31, 2020 of the CGU of Turkey, were:

Impairment test assumptions CGU goodwill in Turkey
	March 2020	December 2019
Discount rate	18.1%	17.4%
Growth rate	7.0%	7.0%

Given the potential growth of the sector in Turkey, in accordance with paragraph 33.c of IAS 36, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Group used a growth rate of 7.0% based on the real GDP growth rate of Turkey and expected inflation.

F-42

The assumptions with a greater relative weight and whose volatility could affect more in determining the present value of the cash flows starting on the fifth year are the discount rate and the growth rate. Below is shown the increased (or decreased) amount of the recoverable amount as a result of a reasonable variation (in basis points) of each of the key assumptions as of March 31, 2020:

Sensitivity analysis for main assumptions - Turkey (Millions of Euros)
	Impact of an increase of 50 basis points	Impact of a decrease of 50 basis points
Discount rate	(166)	183
Growth rate	23	(21)

Goodwill - Other CGUs

The sensitivity analysis on the main hypotheses carried out for the rest of the CGUs of the Group indicate that their value in use would continue to exceed their book value.

Ongoing legal proceedings and litigation

The financial sector faces an environment of increased regulatory pressure and litigation. In this environment, the various Group entities are often sued on lawsuits and are therefore involved in individual or collective legal proceedings and litigation arising from their activity and operations, including proceedings arising from their lending activity, from their labour relations and from other commercial, regulatory or tax issues, as well as in arbitration.

On the basis of the information available, the Group considers that, at June 30, 2020, the provisions made in relation to judicial proceedings and arbitration, where so required, are adequate and reasonably cover the liabilities that might arise, if any, from such proceedings. Furthermore, on the basis of the information available and with the exceptions indicated in Note 6.1 "Risk factors", BBVA considers that the liabilities that may arise from such proceedings will not have, on a case-by-case basis, a significant adverse effect on the Group's business, financial situation or results of operations.

(*) Provisional data

The uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant fluctuation in asset prices in the financial markets, accompanied by a sharp increase in volatility; the stock exchanges have experienced falls in response to the impact of the crisis on corporate earnings and the increase in risk aversion that has also spread to the debt markets, as well as the evolution of exchange rates. All this has caused a negative impact on the Group's capital ratios until June 30, 2020. However, during the second quarter of the year, the stability of the financial markets, largely motivated by the stimulus measures for the economy announced by the different national and supranational authorities, have partially recovered the shocks produced in asset prices and the volatility has been reduced, which has had a positive contribution in the capital ratios during the last quarter.

In addition, the approval by the European Parliament and the Council of Regulation 2020/873 (known as “CRR Quick Fix”), amending both Regulation 575/2013 (Capital Requirement Regulation (CRR)) and Regulation 2019/876 (Capital Requirement Regulation 2 (CRR2)) has contributed positively to the capital ratios.

As of June 30, 2020, the CET 1 ratio stood at 11.63%, which represents a reduction of 34 basis points compared to December 31, 2019.

The additional Tier 1 capital (AT1) stood at 1.68% at the end of June 2020, remaining at similar levels than previous quarters, while the Tier 2 ratio increased by 30 basis points to 2.58% explained partly by the new Tier 2 instruments issued by the Group during the first half of the year.

As a result, the total capital ratio stood at 15.89%, remaining at a similar level to that of December 2019.

The risk-weighted assets during the first six months of the year, affected by the evolution of exchange rates decreased by approximately €2,400 million.

The breakdown of the leverage ratio as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, calculated according to CCR, is as follows:

Leverage ratio
	*June 2020 ()**	December 2019
Tier 1 (millions of Euros) (a)	48,185	49,701
Exposure to leverage ratio (millions of Euros) (b)	771,590	731,087
Leverage ratio (a)/(b) (percentage)	6.24%	6.80%

(*) 15 members with such status as of June 30, 2020, excluding executive directors.

Payments for the termination of the contractual relationship

In accordance with the Remuneration Policy for BBVA Directors, the Bank has no commitments to pay severance payments to executive directors.

The contractual framework defined for the executive directors, in accordance with the Remuneration Policy for BBVA Directors, establishes a post-contractual non-compete agreement for executive directors, effective for a period of two (2) years after they cease as BBVA executive directors, provided that they do not leave due to retirement, disability or serious dereliction of duties. In compensation for this agreement, the Bank shall award them remuneration to an amount equivalent to one Annual Fixed Remuneration per year of duration, which will be paid monthly over the course of the two-year duration of the non-compete agreement.

Accordingly, the executive director Head of GE&PA, who left his role on 13 March 2020, received €249 thousand during the first half of 2020.

With regard to the Senior Management team, excluding executive directors, during the first half of the 2020 financial year, the Bank has paid out a total of €2,185 thousand, resulting from the termination of the contractual relationship with one member of Senior Management and in fulfilment of the provisions of their contract (for the payment of legal indemnity and notice). In addition, the contract establishes a non-competition clause, effective for a period of one (1) year after they leave their role as a senior manager of BBVA, provided that they do not leave due to retirement, disability or serious dereliction of duties. In compensation for this agreement, the member of senior management received a total of €408 thousand during the first half of 2020.

In addition to the restructuring and refinancing transactions mentioned in this section, loans that were not considered impaired or renegotiated have been modified based on the criteria set out in the accounting regulation that applies. These loans have not been classified as renegotiated or impaired, since they were modified for commercial or competitive reasons (for instance, to improve relationships with clients) rather than for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial situation.

The table below provides a breakdown by segments of the forbearance operations (net of provisions) as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
