REPORT ON LIMITED REVIEW OF CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Translation from the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.)
To the shareholders of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. at the request of its Board of Directors:
Report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statementsIntroduction
We have carried out a limited review of the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the "interim financial statements") of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (the "Bank") and subsidiaries which, along with the Bank, form the Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Group (the "Group"), which comprise the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2026, the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of recognized income and expenses, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the notes to the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements corresponding to the nine-month period then ended. Pursuant to article 12 of Royal Decree 1362/2007, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of these interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on said interim financial statements based on our limited review.
Scope of the review
We conducted our limited review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A limited review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A limited review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with prevailing audit regulations in Spain and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the accompanying interim financial statements.
Conclusion
As a result of our limited review, which under no circumstances should be considered an audit of financial statements, nothing came to our attention that would lead us to conclude that the accompanying interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended as of September 30, 2026 are not prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the European Union, for the preparation of interim condensed financial statements, pursuant to article 12 of Royal Decree 1362/2007.

Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to the matter described in accompanying explanatory note 1, which indicates that these interim financial statements do not include all the information that would be required for complete financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union and therefore, the accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated annual accounts for the year ended December 31, 2025. This matter does not modify our conclusion.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirementsThe accompanying interim consolidated management report for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 contains such explanations as the Directors of the Bank consider relevant with respect to the significant events that have taken place in this period and their effect on the interim financial statements, as well as the disclosures required by article 15 of Royal Decree 1362/2007. The interim consolidated management report is not an integral part of the interim financial statements. We have verified that the accounting information contained therein is consistent with the interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026. Our work is limited to the verification of the interim consolidated management report within the scope described in this paragraph and does not include a review of information other than that obtained from the accounting records of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. and subsidiaries.
Paragraph on other matters
This report has been prepared at the request of the Bank's Board of Directors in relation to the publication of the quarterly financial report voluntarily prepared by the Directors of the Bank.

Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2026Introduction, basis for the presentation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and other information
- Introduction
Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (hereinafter "the Bank", "BBVA" or "BBVA, S.A.") is a private-law entity subject to the laws and regulations governing banking entities operating in Spain. It carries out its activity through branches and agencies across the country and abroad.
The Bylaws and other public information are available for inspection at the Bank's registered address (Plaza San Nicolás, 4, Bilbao) as noted on its web site (https://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, 2025, were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on March 20, 2026.
- 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") as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 are presented in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" (hereinafter "IAS 34") in accordance with Article 12 of Royal Decree 1362/2007 and taking into account the requirements of Circular 3/2018, of June 28, of the National Securities Market Commission (hereinafter "CNMV") and have been approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on October 28, 2026.
In accordance with IAS 34, the interim financial information is prepared solely for the purpose of updating the last annual consolidated financial statements, focusing on new activities, events and circumstances that occurred during the period without duplicating the information previously published in those consolidated financial statements.
Therefore, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all information required by a complete set of consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union (hereinafter "EU-IFRS"), and 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, 2025.
The aforementioned annual consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the EU-IFRS applicable as of December 31, 2025, considering the Bank of Spain Circular 4/2017, as well as its successive amendments, and any other legislation governing financial reporting which is applicable, and with the format and mark-up requirements established in the EU Delegated Regulation 2019/815 of the European Commission.
The Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared applying principles of consolidation, accounting policies and valuation criteria, which, as described in Note 2, are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the new Standards and Interpretations that became effective from January 1, 2026 (see Note 2.1), so that they present fairly the Group's consolidated equity and financial position as of September 30, 2026, together with the consolidated results of its operations and the consolidated cash flows generated by the Group during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes were prepared on the basis of the accounting records kept by the Bank and each of the other entities in the Group. They include the adjustments and reclassifications required to harmonize the accounting policies and valuation criteria used by the entities in the Group.
All effective accounting standards and valuation criteria with a significant effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements were applied in their preparation.
The amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions of euros, unless it is more appropriate to use smaller units. Therefore, some items that appear without a balance in these Consolidated Financial Statements are due to how the units are expressed. Also, in presenting amounts in millions of euros, the accounting balances have been rounded up or down. It is therefore possible that the totals appearing in some tables are not the exact arithmetical sum of their component figures.
The percentage changes in amounts have been calculated using figures expressed in thousands of euros.
When determining the information to disclose about various items of the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Group, in accordance with IAS 34, has taken into account their materiality in relation to the consolidated financial statements.
- Comparative information
The information included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes relating to the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and as of December 31, 2025, is presented for the purpose of comparison with the information for September 30, 2026.
- 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 Bank'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 14).
The assumptions used in the valuation of insurance and reinsurance contracts (see Note 21), to quantify certain provisions (see Note 22), and for the actuarial calculation of post-employment benefit liabilities and other commitments (see Note 23).
The useful life and impairment losses of tangible and intangible assets, and impairment losses on non-current assets held for sale (see Notes 15, 16 and 19).
The valuation of goodwill and price allocation of business combinations (see Note 16).
The fair value of certain unlisted financial assets and liabilities (see Notes 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12).
The recoverability of deferred tax assets and the estimate of the corporate income tax (see Note 17).
In general, the BBVA Group is working to consider and incorporate into the models used for calculating relevant estimates how climate risk and other climate-related matters may affect the financial statements, cash flows and financial performance of the Group. These estimates and judgments are being considered in preparing the BBVA Group's financial statements and, to the extent relevant, they are mentioned in the relevant Notes to these Consolidated Financial Statements.
The prevailing geopolitical and economic uncertainties (see Note 6.1) entail a greater complexity in developing reliable estimations and applying judgment. Estimates have been made on the basis of the best available information on the matters analyzed as of September 30, 2026. However, it is possible that events may take place subsequent to such date which could make it necessary to amend these estimations (upward or downward), which would be carried out prospectively, recognizing the effects of the change in estimation in the corresponding consolidated financial statements.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 there have been no significant changes in the estimates made as of December 31, 2025, other than those indicated in these Consolidated Financial Statements.

The information related to these transactions is presented in Note 53 of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2025.

- Separate condensed interim financial statements
The separate financial statements of the parent company of the Group (Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.) are prepared under Spanish regulations (Circular 4/2017 of the Bank of Spain, as well as its successive amendments, and following other regulatory requirements of financial information applicable to it).

Principles of consolidation, accounting policies, measurement bases applied and recent IFRS pronouncements and interpretations
The accounting policies and methods applied for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements do not differ significantly from those detailed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the entry into force of certain new standards and interpretations in 2026, among which the following should be highlighted:
- Standards and interpretations that became effective in the first nine months of 2026
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments
On May 30, 2024, the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to clarify how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include contingent features such as Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) targets. Additionally, they clarify that a financial liability should be derecognized on the 'settlement date' and introduce an accounting policy option to derecognize before that date financial liabilities that are settled using an electronic payment system. Finally, additional disclosures are required by IFRS 7 for financial instruments with contingent characteristics and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The amendments came into force on January 1, 2026 and had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7: Contracts relating to nature-dependent electricityOn December 18, 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to address the accounting for renewable electricity purchase agreements. The amendments include guidance on the "own use" exemption for electricity purchasers and the requirements for applying hedge accounting to these agreements.
They came into effect on January 1, 2026 and had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Annual improvements applied to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)The IASB issued in July 2024 a number of minor amendments and improvements to various IFRS accounting standards to clarify their wording or correct minor effects, oversights or conflicts between the requirements of the standards. The standards affected are: IFRS 1 "First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards", IFRS 7 "Financial instruments, disclosures", IFRS 9 "Financial instruments", IFRS 10 "Consolidated financial statements" and IAS 7 "Statement of cash flows".
These modifications came into force on January 1, 2026 and had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
- Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective as of September 30, 2026
The following new International Financial Reporting Standards together with their Interpretations or Modifications had been published at the date of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and were not mandatory as of September 30, 2026. Although in some cases the IASB allows early adoption before their effective date, the BBVA Group has not proceeded with this option for any such new standards.
IFRS 18 - "Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements"On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements" which introduces new requirements to improve the quality of information presented in financial statements and to promote analysis, transparency and comparability of companies' performance.
Specifically, IFRS 18 introduces three new predefined profit and loss categories (operating, investing and financing), in addition to the existing ones (income tax and results of discontinued operations) and two mandatory subtotals ("operating profit (loss)" and "profit (loss) before financing and income taxes") to provide a consistent structure in the income statement and facilitate the analysis of the income statement. Additionally, it introduces disclosure requirements for management-defined performance
measures (MPM). Finally, it establishes requirements and provides guidance on aggregation/disaggregation of the information to be provided in the primary financial statements.
This new standard will come into force on January 1, 2027, with early application permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the potential effects derived from the application of the standard; however, given that it is fundamentally a presentation and disclosure standard, no impacts are expected on the consolidated equity of the Group or on the attributed profit, beyond possible changes in the presentation, disaggregation and disclosure of certain financial information.
IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures"On May 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures" which allows certain eligible entities to elect to apply the reduced disclosure requirements of IFRS 19 while continuing to apply the requirements of recognition, valuation and presentation of other IFRS accounting standards.
This new standard will enter into force on January 1, 2027, allowing early application once it is adopted by the European Union. There are no eligible entities within the Group that fall within the scope of this standard, so no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements is expected.
Amendments to IFRS 19: "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures"As stated above, IFRS 19, issued in May 2024, allows certain eligible entities to elect to apply the reduced disclosure requirements of IFRS 19 while continuing to apply the requirements of recognition, valuation and presentation of other IFRS accounting standards (including IFRS 18). With these amendments, IFRS 19 reflects the changes in IFRS that will come into effect on January 1, 2027, the date on which IFRS 19 will become applicable. In the future, IFRS 19 will be amended simultaneously with the publication or revision by the IASB of other accounting standards.
This amendment is pending approval by the European Union. No significant impact on the consolidated financial statements is expected.
Amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates"On November 13, 2025, the IASB issued a series of amendments to IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. These amendments address how companies should translate financial information from a non-hyperinflationary functional currency to a hyperinflationary presentation currency.
Specifically, it states that a company with a non-hyperinflationary functional currency but with a hyperinflationary presentation currency must translate all amounts in the financial statements (including comparative amounts) using the closing exchange rate on the last presentation date.
The amendments also require reporting and detailing financial information about the foreign operations affected by the indicated conversion method. The amendments will come into effect on January 1, 2027, once adopted by the European Union, and will be applied retrospectively. The entry into force of the standard will not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Amendment to IAS 28 - "Amendments to the Fair Value Option for Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures"In June 2026, the IASB issued specific amendments to IAS 28 regarding the use of the fair value option as an exemption from applying the equity method to investments in associates and joint ventures for eligible entities. The amendments clarify the scope of this exemption to include entities whose main business activity is investing in specified types of assets, in accordance with IFRS
18. The amendments become effective when an entity first applies IFRS 18, i.e. for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, or earlier if IFRS 18 is adopted early. However, the amendments are still pending endorsement by the European Union. The entry into force of the standard is not expected to have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
- Standards and interpretations that became effective in the first nine months of 2026

Risk factors
The BBVA Group has processes in place for identifying risks and analyzing scenarios in order to enable the Group to manage risks in a dynamic and proactive way.
The risk identification processes are forward looking to seek the identification of emerging risks and take into account the concerns of both the business areas, which are close to the reality of the different geographical areas, and the corporate areas and senior management.
Risks are identified and measured consistently using the methodologies deemed appropriate in each case. Their measurement includes the design and application of scenario analyses and stress testing and considers the controls to which the risks are subjected.
As part of this process, a forward projection of the Risk Appetite Framework (hereinafter, "RAF") variables in stress scenarios is conducted in order to identify possible deviations from the established thresholds. If any such deviations are detected, measures are taken to seek to keep the variables within the target risk profile.
In this context, there are a number of emerging risks that could affect the evolution of the Group's business, including the below and those mentioned in Note 7.1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Macroeconomic and geopolitical risksThe Group is sensitive to the deterioration of economic conditions and the alteration of the institutional environment of the countries in which it operates, and is exposed to sovereign debt, particularly in Spain, Mexico and Turkey.
The global economy is undergoing significant challenges, due in part to the policies of the U.S. administration and, more recently, the conflict in Iran. Uncertainty surrounding their consequences is exceptionally high, substantially increasing geopolitical, economic, and financial risks.
Tensions in the Middle East have led to increases in 2026 in the prices of oil, gas, and other energy-intensive goods. A prolonged escalation of the conflict may result in further volatility or sustained increases in global energy prices, generate strong inflationary pressures, increase financial volatility, weigh on economic growth, and potentially contribute to a global economic slowdown while constraining the policy space of major central banks. These risks are compounded by the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine and the potential reactivation of other geopolitical flashpoints, such as the Arctic, or developments in Latin America linked to possible interventions by the U.S. administration. In response to these risks and to changes in U.S. foreign policy, the European Union has taken steps to increase military spending, which could support growth but also add upward pressure on inflation and interest rates in the region.
The increase in U.S. tariffs on imports from its trading partners under the current U.S. administration has also triggered financial market volatility, reinforcing global risks. High uncertainty regarding the final level and duration of these tariffs could negatively impact the global economy, worsening the macroeconomic environment. As a result of adopted or announced tariffs, global growth could decelerate significantly.
While fiscal and monetary policies could partially offset the effects of global protectionism, notably in the Eurozone, where significant public spending increases have been announced, the impact of higher U.S. tariffs could be amplified by the adoption of retaliatory measures by other countries, sustained uncertainty, weakened confidence levels, and financial volatility, among other factors.
Rising tariffs also increase the risk of inflation in the United States and the Eurozone, which could further slow private demand and, at the same time, constrain the Federal Reserve's and the ECB's ability to lower rates if warranted by activity.
Beyond import tariffs, tighter controls on migration flows could also affect the labor market in the United States, add to inflationary pressures, and weigh on economic growth. Potential changes in the U.S. administration's fiscal, monetary, regulatory, industrial, and foreign policies, together with the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming midterm elections, could likewise contribute to increased financial and macroeconomic volatility. This is compounded by concerns regarding the potential consideration by the Federal Reserve of political factors in its decision-making.
Amid growing uncertainty surrounding U.S. policies and the widening fiscal deficit, the U.S. risk premium could continue to rise, pushing up long-term sovereign yields and further weakening the U.S. dollar. These developments could trigger episodes of volatility, especially given the high public debt levels in both advanced and emerging economies, and the political uncertainty and social unrest in some European countries. Additionally, the relatively high valuations of AI-related assets constitute an additional source of uncertainty, with potential implications in the financial markets.
Overall, rising global geopolitical tensions are increasing uncertainty about the global economy and the likelihood of economic and financial disruptions, including a recession.
The Group is exposed, among others, to the following general risks related to the economic and institutional environment in the countries where it operates: a deterioration in economic activity, including potential recession scenarios; inflationary pressures that could lead to tightening of monetary conditions; stagflation triggered by intense or prolonged supply shocks, including as a result of a protectionist escalation or a sharp rise in oil and gas prices; exchange rate volatility; adverse developments in real estate markets; extreme weather and climate-related factors; changes in the institutional environment of the countries where the Group operates, which could lead to sudden and pronounced GDP contractions and/or shifts in regulatory or government policy, including capital controls, dividend restrictions, or the imposition of new taxes or levies; high levels of public debt or external deficits, which could lead to sovereign credit rating downgrades or even defaults or debt restructurings; the impact of policies adopted by the current U.S. administration, about which significant uncertainty remains; and episodes of financial market volatility, such as those seen recently, that could result in significant losses for the Group.
In Spain, political, regulatory, and economic uncertainty arising, in part, from the upcoming general elections in Spain, may have a negative impact on activity. In Mexico, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the impact of the constitutional reforms implemented in 2025, as well as the policies of the U.S. administration and the outcome of the review of the United States-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement (USMCA). In Turkey, despite the gradual improvement in macroeconomic conditions, the situation remains relatively unstable, marked by pressure on the Turkish lira, high inflation, a significant trade deficit, relatively low central bank foreign exchange reserves, and high external financing costs. Political and social tensions could also trigger new episodes of financial volatility and macroeconomic risks. Moreover, uncertainty remains over the final impact of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. In South America, ongoing and potential interventionist actions by the United States in some of its countries constitute a significant source of risk. In Argentina, despite the improved prospects for the economy following significant fiscal, monetary and exchange rate adjustments, the risk of economic and financial turmoil persists. Lastly, in Colombia and Peru, the severity of extreme climate-related events, the deterioration in public security conditions, and the worsening of public finances could weigh on economic performance.
Any of these factors may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the probability that one party to a financial instrument will fail to meet its contractual obligations for reasons of insolvency or inability to pay and cause a financial loss for the other party. The general principles governing credit risk management in the BBVA Group, as well as the credit risk management in the Group as of September 30, 2026 do not differ significantly from those included in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Credit risk exposureThe BBVA Group's credit risk exposure by headings in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is provided below. It does not consider the loss allowances and the availability of collateral or other credit enhancements to ensure compliance with payment obligations. The details are broken down by category of financial instruments:

Estimation models and additional adjustments to expected losses measurement
The Group periodically reviews its individual estimates and its models for collective estimates of expected losses, as well as the impact of macroeconomic scenarios considered for such purposes. It should be noted that, although these updates incorporate the best information available at the relevant time, they may not fully reflect the most recent developments in the economic environment, especially in contexts of high uncertainty and volatility, or with respect to very recent events still underway. In this regard, with respect to the estimates for expected losses, the provisions described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for the year 2025 regarding individual and collective estimates of expected losses, as well as macroeconomic estimates and the sensitivity to variations in key assumptions of the macroeconomic scenarios, must be taken into account.
The Group may supplement these expected losses to account for effects that may not be included therein, either because it considers that there are additional risk factors, or to incorporate sectoral particularities or those that may affect a set of operations or borrowers, following a formal internal approval process established for this purpose, including the evaluation by the relevant Global Risk Management Committee (hereinafter, "GRMC") as described in the General risk management and control model chapter of the Consolidated Management Report for the year 2025.
As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Group had not recognized any material adjustment to the models used in the estimation of expected credit losses.

Fair value of financial instruments
The criteria and valuation methods used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments as of September 30, 2026 do not differ significantly from those included in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The techniques and unobservable inputs used for the valuation of the financial instruments classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 3, do not significantly differ from those detailed in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The effect on the consolidated income statements and on the consolidated equity, resulting from changing the main assumptions used in the valuation of Level 3 financial instruments for other reasonably possible assumptions, does not differ significantly from that detailed in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
