1.  EXECUTIVE  SUMMARY  

 In  this  project  we  analyzed  BBVA,  one  of  the  most  important  Spanish  financial  institutions,  by  using  some  of  the  several  valuation  methods  that  are  available:  the  discounted  dividend  method,  based  on  our  assumptions  and  a  previous  stage  of  gathering  information,  and  the  comparison   of   some   financial   ratios  we   considered   important.   Both   analyses   have   been  made   always   by   comparison   with   the   situation   of   BBVA’s   direct   competitors   and   the  Spanish  financial  sector.      BBVA  operates  in  the  financial  sector  as  a  customer  centric  multinational  group  providing  financial  and  non-­‐financial  products  and  services  all  over  the  world    BBVA’s   ongoing   profitability   in   the   last   years   compares   favourably   with   the   sector’s  average.  The  Group  maintains  an  outstanding  position  in  terms  of  the  main  items  on  the  income  statement  over  average  total  assets  which  have  been  increasing  at  1-­‐2%  because  of   several   reasons:   the   incorporation   of   Garanti   and   UNNIM,   the   favourable   business  activity   in   the   emerging  markets,   especially   Latin   America,   the   higher   cost   of   customer  funds  and  of  wholesale  funding…  among  others.      On   the   other   hand,   even  with   the   fall   in   net   income   for   2011   and   2012,   BBVA,   being   a  relatively  mature  company,  has  reiterated  that   it  will  maintain  the  total  dividend  at  0,42  euros,  a  trend  that  will  be  able  to  accomplish  until  2014  in  order  to  attract  new  investors  and  maintain  those  already  in  the  company.  They  are  even  willing  to  pay  a  dividend  higher  than  their  EPS,  as  we  estimate  will  happen  in  2012  (making  the  payout  ratio  to  increase).    

BBVA  has  demonstrated  a  good  efficiency  ratio  of  48%  with  a  solid  return  on  assets  and  more   or   less   stable   net   interest   marging   (2,20-­‐2,50%   growth).   Both,   BBVA's   solid  efficiency   and   earnings   ratios   are   not,   however,   translating   into   a   credible   return   on  equity,  with  BBVA  having  an  expected  return  on  equity  of  3,97%  in  2012.  This  is  part  of  a  downward  trend  which  can  be  attributed  to  the  funds  diverted  to  loan-­‐loss  provisions  that  will  not  continue  in  2013  and  2014.    We  can  say  BBVA  is,  with  Santander,  one  of  the  Spanish  Banks  most  prepared  to  face  the  restructuring   of   the   domestic   financial   system   and   the   new   market   requirements,  especially   due   to   its   foreign   exposure,  which   really   is   a   significant   advantage   relative   to  other  Spanish  banks.  Any  exposure  to  Spain  and  increasing  risk  created  by  the  deepening  of  the  Spanish  economic  crisis  is  clearly  mitigated  by  its  geographic  diversity  and  the  fact  that  it  derives  59%  of  its  net  attributable  profit  from  markets  outside  of  Spain  (especially  Mexico).      Still   the   future  of  BBVA  will   inevitably  be  associated  with   the  macroeconomics  variables  that  may  weigh  negatively  on   some  aspects   such  as   the   stock’s  performance   in   the  near  term,   profitability,   or   debt   exposure,   so   it   will   have   to   continue   to   exhibit   strong   risk  management   practices,   through   reducing   loan   exposure   to   troublesome   markets,   de-­‐leveraging  its  balance  sheet  and  taking  measures  to  increase  liquidity.

2.  BBVA  

2.1  INTRODUCTIONS  &  HISTORICAL  BACKGROUND    Banco   Bilbao   Vizcaya   Argentaria   (BBVA)   is   a   customer-­‐centric  multinational   group   that  provides  financial  and  non-­‐financial  products  and  services,  in  over  30  countries  and  to  53  million  customers  throughout  the  world.        It   has   its   origins   in   1857   when   the   Spanish   Board   of   Trade   sponsored   the   creation   of  Banco   de   Bilbao   as   a   currency-­‐issuing   and   discount   bank,   which   until   1890s   was  practically  the  only  bank  in  that  part  of  Spain.  Due  to  the  economic  development  in  1960,  Banco   de   Bilbao   grew   further,   absorbing   other   banks   and   started   to   create   a   financial  group.  At  the  same  time  Banco  de  Vizcaya,  set  up  in  1901,  also  continued  to  develop  as  a  modern  universal  bank  and  began  to  emerge  as  an  important  financial  group.  Both  of  them  merged  in  1988  creating  BBV.      Parallel   to   this   process,   Corporación   Bancaria   de   España   was   set   up   in   1991   as   a  government  corporation  and  credit  entity  with  bank  status.  It  started  out  with  a  federated  banking  model,  however  in  1998  Corporación  Bancaria  de  España  (already  privatized  via  IPOs),  BEX  (which  had  merged  with  BCI),  BHE  and  Caja  Postal  were  merged  into  a  single  bank  called  Argentaria.    BBV  and  Argentaria  announced  their  planned  merger  on  19th  October  1999  thus  creating  BBVA  and  finally  becoming  a  single  BBVA  brand  in  February  2001.      2.2  BBVA’s  PROFILE    BBVA  operates  in  two  cross-­‐sectional  business  units  segmented  by  customer  type:  

a. Corporate  &  Investment  Banking  which  includes  BBVA  Group  activity  with  large  companies  and  corporations.  

b. Global  Retail  &  Business  Banking,  mainly  a  global  unit  joining  Retail  Banking,  SME  &   Commercial   banking,   Insurance   and   Pensions,   Payment   Systems,   Consumer  Finance,  Private  Banking  and  Asset  Management.    

BBVA’s   approach   to   banking   is   based   on   a   business   model   focused   on   long-­‐term   and  lasting  relationships  with  its  customer.  It  has  therefore  franchises  with  a  sufficient  critical  customer  base  that  allow  the  holding  of  leading  positions:  1st/2nd  in  Spain,  market  leader  in  Mexico,  1st/2nd  in  South  America,  a  leadership  position  in  the  US  Sunbelt,  and  strategic  alliances  in  Turkey  and  China.    

Furthermore   management   based   on   anticipation;   a   corporate   governance   framework  underpinned   by   principles   of   integrity,   prudence   and   transparency;   and   finally,   an  appropriate   diversification   strategy   in   terms   of   geographical   areas,   businesses   and  customers,  are  also  fundamental  parts  of  BBVA’s  banking  methodology.    

2.3DIVIDEND  POLICIY    BBVA’s   share   is   currently   trading  at  7,45  euros.  During  2011  and  historically,  BBVA  has  maintained   one   of   the   highest   dividend   payout   ratios   in   its   sector,   with   an   established  dividend  floor  of  €0.42  per  share.  As  their  earnings  have  been  around  0,61  that  same  year,  we   can   say   the   company  was  paying  out  dividends   lower   than   their   earnings  per   share,  

Page 5: BBVA valuation 2012

  5  

which   means   that   they   have   a   dividend   yield   of   6.30%.   But   this   ratio   may   not   be  maintained  in  the  following  years.  

The  fact  that  BBVA’s  Chairman:  Francisco  González,  made  the  commitment  of  maintaining  the  same   levels  of  dividend  per  share  (despite   the  rising   loan   loss  provisions  and   falling  profitability  caused  by  ongoing  bank  solvency  and  economic  crisis),  makes  us  realise  there  is  no  much  room  for  BBVA  to  keep  on   increasing   their  dividends   in   the  short   term.  This  will   be   something   we   estimate,   might   happen   in   2014   as   a   direct   result   of   their  recovery/growth  over  that  year.    

2.4  GEOGRAPHICAL  DISTRIBUTION    As  mentioned  before,  BBVA,  from  a  geographical  point  of  view  and  taking  into  account  its  core  business  (deposits  and  loans);  is  a  well  diversified  bank  with  important  businesses  in  Eurasia,  Mexico,  US  and  South  America.   It   is  particularly   interesting  to   focus  attention   in  Spain,  USA  and  Mexico,  countries  in  which  BBVA  has  most  of  the  investments  or  trades  in  the   stock   market.   (Bolsa   de   Madrid,   NYSE   and   so   on).     This   is   explained   in   detail   in  EXHIBIT1.  

 

   One   can   appreciate   through   the   following   figures   the   importance   of   diversification   for  BBVA  especially  since  in  2011  almost  55%  of  the  gross  income  was  originated  in  emerging  countries  and  the  trend  in  2012  seems  to  be  increasing  to  a  59%.  From  this  overview,  one  can   even   conclude   that   probably   Mexico   and   the   emerging   countries   will   gain   an  important  share  of  the  loan  book  of  BBVA  in  the  long  run  as  the  economic  activity  in  these  countries   is   increasing   and   as   BBVA,   according   to   the   financial   reports,   is   increasingly  gaining  market  share  in  Latam  and  Mexico.

3.  ENVIRONMENT  ANALYSIS  

 3.1  MACRO  OUTLOOK  FOR  SPANISH  FINANCIAL  SECTOR    In  2011  the  global  economy  suffered  a  visible  slowdown  due  to  the  uncertainty  generated  by  the  financial  markets,  in  particular  the  European  sovereign  debt  markets.  The  Spanish  economy   was,   and   still   is,   immersed   in   its   own   adjustments   in   order   to   overcome   this  crisis,  with  a  growth   in  2011   that  was  a   few  decimal  points  below  1%  and  a   trend   for  a  gradual  slowdown  throughout  the  year.      With   this   panorama   and   the   slow   pace   of   recovery   of   the   European   debt   crisis,   we  estimate   a   downward   trend   for   2012,   especially   for   the   developed   economies.   We  therefore  assume  the  euro  zone  is  expected  to  have  a  negative  growth  of  0.5%  as  a  whole,  which  will  be  around  -­‐1.3%  in  Spain.  For  continuous  years  we  estimate  a  slow  recovery  so  that  worldwide  growth  rate  will  at  a  rate  of  3%  and  3.5%  in  2013  and  2014  respectively.    Since  BBVA  operates  in  the  financial  Sector  it  is  also  important  to  note  that  in  Spain  there  has  been  an  important  wave  of  reforms  within  the  fiscal  and  the  labor  framework,  that  will  inevitably  affect  BBVA’s  performance.        

• The  RDL  2/2012  was  developed  so  uncertainty  associated  to  the  Spanish  Banking  System  (and   the   toxic  assets  coming   from  the  construction  and  real  state  sector)  could   be   eliminated.   Thus,   the   total   amount   required   as   reserves   for   financial  entities  and  principals,   amounts   to  53,842,000  euros,  which  add   to   the  efforts  of  higher   provisions  made   by   banks   since   2008,   and   have   led   some  writedowns   of  112,000  million  euros.    

• The   EBA   recapitalisation   programme   for  major   European   banks   involves   raising  Core  Tier1  capital  to  9%  and  the  valuation  at  market  prices  of  general  government  debt  instruments.  Requirements  of  BASIL  III.    

• On   top   of   all   the  measures   and   developments  mentioned,   it   is   also   important   to  factor   in   the   assessment   of   the   Spanish   banking   sector   the   structural   measures  adopted:  

- Transformation  of  savings  banks  into  commercial  banks  - Significant  reduction   in   the  number  of   former  savings  banks  (from  45  before   the  

crisis  to  11  institutions    and  ongoing  even  further).  - Rapid   crisis   resolution   scheme:   the   FROB   has   been   able   to   initiate   rapidly   the  

process  of   disposal   of   intervened   institutions,   and   thus   the   creation  of   a   big   and  inefficient  public  bank/banking  sector  has  been  avoided.    

• In   terms   of   solvency,   BBVA   comfortably   passed   Oliver  Wyman’s   stress   test   and  continues   to   comply  with   the   capital   recommendations  of   the  European  Banking  Authority  (EBA)  and  without  capital  requirements.  

 As  a  direct  consequence  and  even  with  all  the  measures  taken  to  restructure  the  balance,  the  macroeconomic  situation  for  BBVA  is  still  considered  an  adverse  scenario.

 3.2.  BUSINESS  EVOLUTION  ON  2011  AND  FUTURE  ESTIMATIONS.    In   2011   BBVA   was   able   to   maintain   their   recurring   earnings   and   an   organic   capital  generation,  even  if,  as  previously  mentioned,  there  was  a  crisis  with  a  negative  impact  on  the  Spanish  financial  sector.  In  order  to  be  able  to  talk  about  BBVA’s  evolution  during  this  last  year  it  is  necessary  to  analyze  some  of  the  most  significant  Balance  Sheets  and  Income  Statement  accounts.  

Analyzing  the  most  important  IS  accounts  (see  light  blue  EXHIBIT  2)  we  can  see  that:    

-­‐ Net  interest  income  in  2011  amounted  to  €13,160m,  which  decreased  only  a  1.2%  from  data  obtained  on  2010.  In  quarterly  terms,  the  net  interest  income  increased  throughout  the  entire  year,  which  means  it  was  somehow  stable  thanks  to  various  factors:  the  increased  volume  of  business  in  emerging  countries,  the  contribution  from  Garanti  acquisition   (Turkey)  and   the  appropriate  price  management.  These  elements  will  still  guarantee  somehow  a  growth  in  2012,  2013  and  2014  for  15%,  3%   and   6%   respectively.   In   2012   Garanti   effect   as   well   as   a   good   price  management   through   the   repricing   of   loans   and   greater   contribution   from  mortgage   floors   in   Spain  will   lead   to   a  much   bigger   increase   than   the   following  years.    

-­‐ Revenue  from  dividends,  which  basically  includes  BBVA’s  stake  in  Telefonica  (paid  once   in  May   and   another   time   in  November),  went   up  6.3%   to  €562m,   and   to   a  lesser  extent,  the  dividends  collected  in  the  Global  Markets  unit.      

-­‐ The  income  from  fees  and  commissions  was  very  stable,  with  a  visible  rise  of  just  1%   to   €4,560m.   This   increase   is   relevant   given   the   environment:   regulatory  limitations  as  previously  explained,  activity  slowed  in  Spain  and  the  fact  that  some  fees  were  reduced  to  ensure  customer  loyalty.  This  situation  will  be  even  bigger  in  the   future,  especially   in  2012  where  strong  activity   in  emerging  markets  and  the  greater  contribution  of  Garanti  offset  the  negative  impacts    previously  mentioned.  We  estimate   that  such  a  great  growth   is  not  possible   to  maintain  and  will  slowly  stabilize  again  gradually  growing  at  a  5%  and  2%  in  2013  and  2014  respectively.    

-­‐ Gross   income,   including   the   net   gains   on   financial   assets   and   liabilities,   the  exchange  differences   and   the  dividends   (which   all   represents  90%  of   the  Bank’s  total  revenue),  summed  €20,566m  in  2011,   that  represents  a   fall  of  2%  from  the  previous  year,  which,  on  the  other  hand,  represents  a  rise  of  0.3%  if  we  exclude  the  exchange-­‐rate   effect.     This   trend  will   not   continue   in   the   following   years  where  growth  will  be  observed,  especially  in  2012  (with  a  13%)    

-­‐ Operating  expenses  in  2011  amounted  to  €9,951m,  with  an  increase  of  11.0%.  The  rise   is   due   to   the   change   in   the   scope   of   consolidation   especially   with   the  incorporation  of  Garanti.  Also  some  of  the  investment  made  throughout  the  year,  to   the  personnel   training  efforts   in  place   for  promoting   talent   in   the  Bank.   Since  the  number  of  branches  and  employees  will  still  be  increasing  during  the  following  years,  so  will  be  these  expenses.      

-­‐ Impairment  losses  on  financial  assets  were  €4,226m  in  2011,  a  fall  of  10.4%  on  the  figure  for  the  previous  year.  In  the  fourth  quarter  there  was  an  increase  in  the  level  of   the   Group’s   loan-­‐loss   provisions,   aimed   at   taking   advantage   of   the   higher  revenue  over  the  last  three  months  of  the  year.  As  a  result,  BBVA’s  coverage  ratio  closed  at  61%  as  of  December  31,  2011.    

Page 8: BBVA valuation 2012

  8  

-­‐ On  the  other  hand  provisions  amounted  to  €510m  in  2011,  5.7%  up  on  the  figure  for   the  previous   year.   They  basically   cover   early   retirement,   other   allocations   to  pension   funds   and   provisions   for   contingent   liabilities.   The   strong   generation   of  operating  income  enables  the  Group  to  absorb  a  significant  increase  in  its  loan-­‐loss  provisions   in   Spain   in   order   to   cover   the   ongoing   impairment   of   its   real   estate  portfolios  and  assets,  which  will  also  maintain  the  growth  rate  in  2012    at  a  23%.  However   since   the   situation   on   2013   and   2014   with   the   real   state   sector   is  expected   to   improve   the   provisions   this   two   accounts  will   decrease   a   4   and   6%  respectively.    

-­‐ To  sum  up,  the  changes  mentioned  above  in  revenue  and  expenses  resulted  in  an  operating   income  of  €5,879   in  2011  (€6,742   in  2010).  An  operating   income   that  will  continue  to  grow  in  the  following  years  except  in  2013.    

-­‐ Other  gains  and  losses  reported  a  negative  €2,109m  in  2011.  This  can  be  explained  almost   entirely   by   two   concepts:   a   negative  €665m  corresponding   to   real   estate  provisions  and  assets  from  recoveries  with  the  aim  of  maintaining  coverage  above  30%;  and  a  negative  €1,444m  for  goodwill  impairment  in  the  United  States.      

-­‐ In   general,   2011   income   taxes   were   reduced   because   of   tax-­‐exempt   or   low-­‐tax  revenues  (especially  dividends  and  income  accounted  by  the  equity  method)  and  the   growing  weight   of   earnings   from  Mexico,   South   America   and   Turkey,  where  effective  tax  rates  are  low.  

-­‐ Finally  as  a  result   there  will  be  a  Net   income  with  a  decreasing   trend   in   the   first  years  2011  and  2012  but  that  will  rebound  again  in  2013  and  2014.  

Furthermore  analyzing  the  most  important  accounts  on  the  Balance  Sheet  (see  light  blue  EXHIBIT   3)   we   can   see   BBVA   closed   2011   with   a   balance   sheet   that   reflects   stability,  prudent  risk  management,  high  solidity,   low   leverage  and  reduced   funding  needs,   things  that  will  be  maintained  in  the  continuous  years.      

-­‐ In   terms   of   stability,   the   Group’s   total   assets   as   of   31-­‐Dec-­‐2011   were  €597,688  million,   representing   an   increase   of   8.1%   from   last   years,   mainly  explained  by  the  incorporation  of  Garanti.  We  expect  this  tendency  to  continue  at  a  1-­‐2%  in  the  following  years  (2012,  2013  and  2014)  due  to  several  factors,  among  them,  it  is  worth  mentioning  the  Inclusion  of  UNNIM.  This  implied  the  inclusion  of  a   network   with   556   branches   and   3,028   employees   that   manage   €18   billion   in  customer   loans   and   €11   billion   in   customer   deposits   (data   as   of   the   close   of  September  2012).    

-­‐ The  Group’s  business  volume  that  comes  from  the  sum  of  gross  customer  lending  plus  total  customer  funds,  came  to  €788  million  as  of  December  31,  2011,  with  an  increase  of  2.3%  compared  to  last  year.  Of  this  figure,  €361  million  corresponded  to  gross  lending  and  €426  million  to  total  customer  funds,  which  incorporate  both  on-­‐balance  sheet  and  mutual  and  pension  funds,  as  well  as  customer  portfolios.      

-­‐ Loans  and  advances  to  customers  is  the  main  item  on  the  asset  side  of  the  balance  sheet,   representing   58.9%   of   total   assets   as   of   December   31,   2011.   On   the  liabilities  side,  deposits  from  customers  stood  at  47.2%  of  the  total  balance  sheet  at  the  end  of  2011,  and  thus,  the  Loan-­‐to-­‐Deposit  ratio  closed  the  year  at  101,7%,  which  reflects  stability  and  even  more  important,  liquidity.      These   loans   and   advances   to   customer   can   be   separated   in   performance   by  geographical  area  and  will  be  determinant  in  the  trend  for  following  years:  which

will  consist  on  a  reduction  in  the  most  problematic  real-­‐estate  portfolios  (basically  in   Spain   and   the  United   States)  with   a   reduction   in   the   Corporate  &   Investment  Banking   (CIB)   portfolios   in   all   developed   countries   and   growth   in   the   emerging  markets.      More   specifically   in   Spain,   gross   lending   to   customers  will   fell   as   a   result   of   the  reduction  in  the  country’s  economy,  even  with  an  increase  of  the  market  share  in  the   residential   mortgage   portfolio.   In   Europe,   on   the   other   hand,   lending   will  probably   remain  stable  and   focused  only  on  high  added  value  customers,  mainly  corporate  clients.  In  Garanti  (Turkey),  we  estimate  lending  will  continued  to  grow,  above  all  in  consumer  loans.    On  the  other  hand,   in  United  States  there  was  a  shift   in  its  portfolio  to  increasing  the  weight  of  target  portfolios  (in  residential  and  commercial  real  estate).  Finally,  in  Latin  America,  a  region  where  lending  is  clearly  buoyant  there  will  be  a  notable  increase  in  practically  all  the  portfolios  and  categories.      

-­‐ The   more   stable   customer   funds   on   the   balance   sheet   (current   and   savings  accounts  with  lower  costs)  performed  particularly  well.  As  a  result,  their  weight  on  the   liabilities   side   of   the   balance   sheet   increased,   thus   allowing   the   Group   to  continue  to  improve  its  funding  structure  through  2011,  and  following  years.  

 3.3  COMPETITIVE  POSITIONING    In  order  to  be  able  to  evaluate  some  of  the  financial   information  of  BBVA  it   is  vital  to  be  able   to   compare   it   to   other   similar   institutions   in   the   Spanish   Financial   sector   such   as:  Banco  Santander,  Bankia,  Banesto  and  Banco  Popular  (even  though  BBVA  and  Santander  are  also  consider  international  banks  with  a  much  bigger  geographical  scope).  EXHIBIT  4    These  5  banks  have   the  highest  number  of   total   assets,  being  Santander   the  biggest  one  with  €1,251,525  m.  followed  by  BBVA  with  €597.688  million,  then  Bankia,  LaCaixa,  Banco  Popular   and   Banesto,   (even   if   the   net   income   generated   by   each   of   them   follows   a  completely  different  order  and  doesn’t  depends  solely  in  the  number  of  assets  they  own).      All  these  banks  perform  in  the  Spanish  financial  sector  that  has  always  been  characterized  for  having  a  great  amount  of  offices  and  branches  (associated  with  connection  and  loyalty  to   the   customer).   However   within   recent   years   there   has   been   a   process   of   reducing  branch  numbers  due   to   the   financial   crisis.  Yet,  at  31-­‐Dec-­‐2011,  BBVA’s  branch  network  numbered  7,457  units,  having  96  more  branches  than  at  the  close  of  2010.  Furthermore,  this   is  a  number  we  expect   to  grow  in  2012  and  the  coming  years  due  to   the  opening  of  branches   in   emerging   countries,   which   are   increasing   as   a   result   of   the   expansion  processes  and  growth  opportunities  offered  by   their  markets.  Again  while   this   is  a  great  number   that   surpasses   most   of   the   Spanish   Banks   (Banesto,   Popular,   Bankia…),   Banco  Santander’s   number   of   branches   is   even   bigger,   as   it   is   also   a   Bank   with   an   important  international  presence.      It   is   also   important   to  analyze   the  number  of  employees   since   they  will  be   considered  a  key   source   of   productivity   and  will   constitute   an   important   operating   cost.   Both,   Banco  Santander   and   BBVA   have   the   highest   number   of   employees,   followed   by   Bankia   and  LaCaixa.  More  specifically  the  Bank’s  employees  numbered  110,645  people,  a  year-­‐on-­‐year  growth   of   3.4%   which,   given   the   circumstances   is   considered   really   stable   growth   of  human  capital  resource  and  may  explain  the  increase  in  personnel  expenses.        

Page 10: BBVA valuation 2012

  10  

Despite   these   increased   investments  (branches,  personnel  and  administrative  expenses),  the  efficiency  ratio  closed  December  at  a  level  of  48.4%,  considered  low  in  comparison  to  LaCaixa   and   a   worldwide   measure,   yet   not   as   low   as   the   one   from   Banco   Santander,  Banesto  and  Banco  Popular  which  prove  to  be  much  more  efficient.    Still  we  can  say  BBVA  is   delivering   an   outstanding   efficiency   ratio,   which   is   an   extremely   positive   sign   for  investors   as   it   indicates   that   despite   the   extremely   difficult   operating   conditions  management  has  maintained  control  of  costs  and  that  the  bank  has  continued  to  generate  income.    Other   important   factor   to   consider   is   the   gross   customer   lending.   While   BBVA   closed  December  2011  at  €361,310  million,  which   represents   a   rise  over   the  year  of  3.7%  and  constitutes   a   very   strong   position   among   its   direct   competitors;   Banco   Santander   had   a  leading  position  with  an  amount  almost  as  double  as  the  one  BBVA  had:  €750,100  million.        

4.  FINANCIAL  ANALYSIS  

 4.1.  RATIOS  ANALYSIS    We  analyzed  ratios  and  performance  measurements  (EXHIBIT  5)  such  as:      

• (LTD)  Loans  To  Deposits  =  (Loans/Deposits)  A   commonly   used   statistic   for   assessing   a   bank's   liquidity   by   dividing   the   banks  total   loans   by   its   total   deposits.   This   number,   also   known   as   the   LTD   ratio,   is  expressed  as  a  percentage.   If   the  ratio   is   too  high,   it  means   that  banks  might  not  have   enough   liquidity   to   cover   any  unforeseen   fund   requirements;   if   the   ratio   is  too  low,  banks  may  not  be  earning  as  much  as  they  could  be.  At  its  most  basic  level  it  represents  the  ratio  of  funds  loaned  in  proportion  to  funds  taken  as  deposits  and  therefore   is   indicative   of   how  much  of   a   bank's   loan  portfolio   is   funded   through  wholesale   or   short-­‐term   loans,   which   leave   a   bank's   costs   base   vulnerable   to  movements  in  interest  rates.    

 A  healthy  loan  deposit  ratio  is  generally  considered  to  be  95%  to  105%  and  BBVA  is   expected   to   have   a   loan   deposit   ratio   of   101,7%   in   2012  which   is   considered  among  the  range.  However  there  is  a  decreasing  trend  through  the  following  years  due  to  the  fact  that  banks  may  not  be  earning  as  much  as  they  could  be.  The  same  phenomenon   taken   place   when   comparing   this   same   ratio   with   the   remaining  financial  institutions  that  have  been  taken  into  consideration  for  this  project,  with  the  exception  of  Caixa  Bank  which  maintains  its  Ratio  stable  throughout  the  years.  

   

• (LTA)  Loans  To  Assets  =  (Loans/Total  Assets)    The   loans  to  assets  ratio  measures  the  total   loans  outstanding  as  a  percentage  of  total  assets.  The  higher  this  ratio  indicates  a  bank  is  loaned  up  and  its  liquidity  is  low.  The  higher  the  ratio,  the  more  risky  a  bank  may  be  to  higher  defaults.    From  our  ratio  analysis  we  obtained  an  estimated  Loans  to  Assets  ratio  for  BBVA  in   2012   of   62.96%.   This   could   be   interpreted   by   saying   that   62.96%   of   the  corporation’s  assets  are  financed  with  loans  and  financial  obligations  lasting  more  than  one  year.  We  can  see   that   from  2011   to  2012,   the  Loans   to  Assets   ratio   for  

Page 11: BBVA valuation 2012

  11  

BBVA   declined   from   63.76%   to   62.96%.   The   bank   reduced   its   amount   of   loans  outstanding   as   a   percentage   of   total   assets.   However   from   2012   onwards,   the  Loans   to   Assets   Ratio   for   BBVA   experiences   an   increase,   that   is,   the   amount   of  corporation’s   assets   financed   with   loans   and   financial   obligations   increased   in  number  once  again.    As  we   can   see   in   the   ratio   comparison,   the   same  phenomenon  happens  with   the  other  financial  entities,  as  their  Loans  to  Assets  Ratio  experiences  an  increase  from  the  estimated  period  of  2013,  to  the  estimated  period  of  2014.  

 • LEVERAGE  RATIO  =  (Tier  1/Total  Adjusted  Assets)  

It  indicates  what  proportion  of  equity  and  debt  the  company  is  using  to  finance  its  assets.  The  leverage  ratio  is  generally  expressed  as  Tier  1  capital  as  a  proportion  of  total   adjusted   assets.   Tier   1   capital   is   broadly   defined   as   the   sum   of   capital   and  reserves  minus   some   intangible   assets   such   as   goodwill,   software   expenses,   and  deferred  tax  assets.3  In  calculating  the  leverage  ratio,  these  intangibles  have  to  be  removed  from  the  total  asset  base  as  well,  to  make  it  comparable  to  Tier  1  capital.    From  the  data  we  can  see  that  the  Leverage  Ratio  for  BBVA  from  years  2009-­‐2014  experiences   an   increase,   starting   at   a   ratio   of   5.5%,   and   ending   at   an   estimated  ratio  of  6.3%.  This  means  an  increase  in  the  proportion  of  debt  and  equity  that  the  company  is  using  to  finance  its  assets.  

 • (ROA)  Return  on  Assets=  (Net  Operating  Income/  Total  Assets)  

An  indicator  of  how  profitable  a  company  is  relative  to   its  total  assets.  ROA  gives  an   idea  as   to   how   efficient  management   is  at   using   its   assets   to   generate  earnings.  Calculated   by   dividing   a   company's   annual   earnings   by   its   total   assets,  ROA   is   displayed   as   a   percentage.   Sometimes   this   is   referred   to   as   "return   on  investment"   but   it   also   means   how   many   dollars   of   earnings   result   from   each  dollar  of  assets  the  company  controls.    From  our  ratio  analysis  we  obtained  an  estimated  ROA  for  BBVA  in  2012  of  0.98%.  This   could  be   interpreted  by  saying   that,   for  every  100  million  euros   invested   in  the  company,  0.98  million  euros  in  earnings  would  be  the  result  of  the  use  of  the  assets.    For  BBVA  we  can  see  an  expected  decrease  on  the  ROA  in   the  period  2012-­‐2013  followed  by  an   increase   in   the   following  period.  The  decrease  on   the   first  period  could  be  a  consequence  of   the   increase  on  total  assets  experimented  by  the   firm,  which  increased  by  1%,  as  well  as  a  decrease  in  the  Net  Operating  income  of  1%.    However,  on  the   following  period  of  2013-­‐2014,   the  ROA  goes   from  0.48  to  1.02,  this  is  because  the  Net  Operating  Income  will  increase  by  18%  and  the  Total  assets  is   expected   to   increase  by  2%.  Both  of   these  positive   expected   increases   are   the  determinants  of  the  positive  evolution  of  the  ROA.  

 • (ROE)  Return  on  Equity  =  (Net  Income/  Stockholder  Equity)  

Return   on   Equity   is   determined   by   dividing   net   income   (minus   preferred  dividends)  by  average  common  stockholders  equity.   It  shows  how  many  euros  of  earnings  result  from  each  euro  of  equity.    From  our  ratio  analysis  we  obtained  an  estimated  ROE  for  BBVA  in  2012  of  3.97%.  This   could  be   interpreted  by  saying,   that   for  every  100  million  euros   invested   in  the  bank,  3.97  million  euros  will   be  obtained  as  profit.  The  bank  will   be   earning  3,97%  on  its  equity.  The  higher  the  return  on  equity  the  better.  

Page 12: BBVA valuation 2012

  12  

 This  moderate   return  on   equity   is   further   concerning  when   it   is   considered   that  BBVA  has  a  debt  to  equity  ratio  of  2.5  and  it  is  unable  to  translate  this  high  degree  of   leverage  into  a  superior  return  on  equity  as  would  be  expected.  Again  this  can  be  attributed  to  the  increased  loan  loss  provisions  set  aside  due  to  the  worsening  outlook   of   its   Spanish   loan  portfolio   and   the  difficulties   of   the   current   operating  and  economic  environment.  Furthermore,  BBVA  is  delivering  a  superior  return  on  equity  with  a  lower  degree  of  leverage  than  Banco  Santander,  which  has  a  debt  to  equity  ratio  of  3.7  compared  to  BBVA's  2.5.    

• (NIM)  Net  Interest  Margin  =  (Net  Interest  income/  Total  Assets)  Net   interest   margin   (NIM)   is   a   measure   of   the   difference   between   the   interest  income   generated   by   banks   or   other   financial   institutions   and   the   amount   of  interest  paid  out  to  their  lenders  (for  example,  deposits),  relative  to  the  amount  of  their   (interest-­‐earning)   assets.   It   is   similar   to   the   gross   margin   of   non-­‐financial  companies.    It   is   usually   expressed   as   a  percentage  of  what   the   financial   institution   earns  on  loans  in  a  time  period  and  other  assets  minus  the  interest  paid  on  borrowed  funds  divided  by  the  average  amount  of  the  assets  on  which  it  earned  income  in  that  time  period  (the  average  earning  assets).  In  the  case  of  BBVA,  its  NIM  ratio  experiences  an  increase  form  year  2011  onwards.  This  could  be  interpreted  by  saying  that  the  firm’s   investment   decisions   are   being   more   successful   compared   to   its   debt  situations.  Increased  positive  values  denote  that  the  firm  made  optimal  decisions,  as  interest  expenses  turned  out  to  be  lower  than  the  amount  of  returns  generated  by  investments.    

• EPS  (Earnings  per  Share)    

                         Is  a  measure  used  by  investors  to  see  how  much  of  the  company’s  profit  they  own  because  part  will  stay  in  the  firm  (plowback  ratio)  and  the  rest  can  be  used  to  pay  dividends   (payout   ratio)   or   repurchase   shares.   It   is   very   useful   therefore   to  evaluate   the   growth   evolution   of   a   company,   but   cannot   be   used   for   a   direct  comparison   with   competitors   since   the   number   of   shares   differs   from   one  company  to  another.    Analyzing   the   results   from  BBVA’s   Earnings   per   Share   ratio  we   have   obtained   a  drastic   decrease   (11.30–7.40)   from   2012-­‐2013,   this   could   reflect   investor’s  opinion   of   a   decrease   in   BBVA’s   profit,  maybe   as   a   consequence   of   the   financial  crisis  and  the  Spanish  financial  sector  remodeling-­‐  However  the  ratio  experiences  a  new  increase   in  the  next  period  2013-­‐2014  and  reaches  a   figure  of  10.9,  which  could  represent  new  confidence  in  the  sector  and  more  positive  prospects  for  the  bank.  

 • Payout  ratio  

                     

Is   a  measure   that  will   indicate   the  amount   reinvested   in   the   firm.  The   lower   the  payout  ratio,  the  higher  the  amount  reinvested  and  the  higher  the  plowback  ratio.  This   also   can   be   interpreted   as  more   investment   projects  with   expected   returns  

Page 13: BBVA valuation 2012

  13  

above   the  markets   return   (if   returns   are  not   above   the   cost   of   capital   it  will   not  plowback  any  amount).  Companies  with  a   low  payout   ratio   are   those   companies  with  high  growth  expectations,  also  known  as  non  matured  companies.      From   our   data   we   can   conclude   that   the   Net   Income   Attributable   to   Parent  Company   experienced   a   decrease   in   2012   of   46%.   This   could   be   explained   by  saying  that  BBVA’s  earnings  per  share  decreased,  and  at  the  same  time  the  number  of   shares   outstanding   increased,   while   maintaining   the   dividend   per   share  constant,  so  this  resulted  in  a  decreasing  dividend  yield,  and  an  increasing  payout  ratio.    

 • PER  (Price  to  Earnings  ratio)  

 

                     Can  be  interpreted  in  numerous  ways,  but  having  to  pick  one,  we  will  consider  this  ratio   as   the   price   investors   are   prepared   to   pay   for   each   dollar   or   earnings.  Companies  with  growth  prospects  will  have  higher  PER  ratios  than  those  without.    When  these  firms  reinvest  a  big  part  of  their  earnings  (at  a  ROE  greater  than  the  cost   of   capital)   the   price   per   share   will   increase   due   to   increasing   growth  opportunities.  The  current  EPS  will  stay  the  same  but  since  the  price  will  rise,  the  PER  will  increase  as  well.    The  Price  Earnings  Ratio  experimented  a  decrease  in  the  years  2012-­‐2013,  where  it   decreased   from   11.30   to   7.40,   investor   were   willing   to   pay   less   per   dollar   of  earnings   of   the   bank.   This   could   be   seen   as   a   negative   aspect   as   lower   P/E   are  sometimes  linked  to  decline  o  recessive  prospects  for  companies.  However,  in  the  period   2013-­‐2014,   the   P/E   ratio   is   estimated   to   go   back   to   similar   figures   from  previous  periods,  reaching  10.9.  So  investors  are  predicted  to  re-­‐gain  confidence  in  the   financial   entity   and   support   future   growth   prospects.   This   is   a   very   positive  change  of  trends  for  the  bank.    

 4.1  DISCOUNTED  DIVIDEND  VALUATION  METHOD    The   first  method   to   value   BBVA   is   the   Dividend   Discount  Method,   that  will   allow   us   to  evaluate   in   the   present   time   the   projected   shareholder   cash   flow   for   the   next   3   years,  starting   in   2011   since   this   is   the   last   year   the   company   data   was   available.   We   have  decided  to  use  this  method  because,  while  on  other  type  of  companies  such  as  Telefonica  the  value  can  be  obtained  by  discounting  future  cash  flows  at  a  WACC  discount  rate  (DFCF  approach),  for  the  financial  sector  and  banks  the  core  cashflows  to  analyze  are  dividends  and  it  is  much  more  representative.      Under  this  valuation  (EXHIBIT  6)  the  main  tow  tasks  to  accomplish  are:  

a) Estimate   the   future   dividends   of   the   company   (as   well   as   its   perpetual   growth  rate)  

b) Discount   them  with   the  most   accurate   cost   of   equity,   calculated  with   the   CAPM  model.    

 Taking   into   account   the   previous   macroeconomic   and   internal   environment   factors   we  expect   for   the   Dividend   per   Share   to   remain   constant   at   0,42   until   2014   where   it   will  

Page 14: BBVA valuation 2012

  14  

increase  to  0,5  per  share.  We  assume  this  is  so,  based  on  the  fact  that  BBVA  has  mantained  this  rate  since  2008  and  due  to  the  “signaling”  effect.  Principal  Agent  Theory  suggests  that  company  announcements  of  an  increase  in  dividend  payouts  act  as  an  indicator  of  the  firm  possessing  strong  future  prospects.  We  would  consider  this  theory  only  to  some  extent,  so  that  even  if  in  Spain  the  profit  has  been  decreasing,  foreign  profit  will  enable  to  maintain  those  levels  and  in  2014  this  will  increase.    On  the  other  hand  Number  of  shareholders  as  well   as   Outstanding   Shares   may   slightly   increase   from   non-­‐Spanish   investors   in   future  years  (between  2%-­‐  5%  and  3%-­‐7%  respectively).  

 Therefore  the  dividend  scheme  looks  as  follows:    

DIVIDEND  SCHEME   2009*   2010*   2011   2012E   2013E   2014E  

Dividend  per  share   0,42   0,42   0,42   0,42   0,42   0,5  

Number  of  shares   3.748   4.491   4.903   5.067   5.407   5.677  

Discount  Dividend:   1.574   1.886   2.059   2.128   2.271   2.839  

 From  2014  onwards  we  estimate  a  constant  growth  in  dividends  of  3%.      Next,   we   calculated   the   cost   of   equity   of   BBVA   through   the   CAPM  model   that   creates   a  regression   of   BBVA   Spread   versus   the   Market   Spread,   thus   describing   the   relationship  between   risk   and   expected   return.   Even   though   this   model   is   based   on   unrealistic  assumptions   such   as   the   perfect  market   efficiency   or   homogeneous   expectations   among  investors,   it   is   one   of   the   simplest   methods   to   expose   reality.   The   CAPM   model   is  formulated  by:    [Ke  –  Rf]  =  β  [  Rm  –  Rf]                  or            Ke  =  Rf  +  β  [  Rm  –  Rf]        where:    

• Rm:  Return  on  the  market.  We  have  calculated  the  return  on  the  market  by  extracting  the  market  values  of  Ibex  35  during  2003  and  2012  from  Yahoo  Finance  and  calculating  the  yearly  returns.  Afterwards  we  have  calculated  the  average  of   these  values   in  order  to  have  a  representative  value  of   the  return  on  Spanish  market  during  the  last  10  years.    

 Even  if  returns  on  the  market  have  been  increasing  during  the  first  years  of  the  decade  and  dropped  due  to  the  crisis  during  the  last  years,  calculating  the   ten   year   average   provides   a   more   representative   view   of   the   iBex  return  in  the  medium/long  run,  resulting  in  a  7,10%    

• Rf:   Risk   free   rate.   If   risk   free   interest   rate   increases,   BBVA   Ke   will   also  increase   as   investors   expect   more   return   for   the   extra   risk   assumed   by  buying  BBVA  shares  and  not  government  bonds.  However,  this  is  the  main  doubt   of   the   whole   European   Banking   System:   what   will   happen   to   the  EURO,  to  the  weak  countries  (PIIGS)  and  therefore  how  will  their  sovereign  risk  be  affected.  For   simplicity,  we  assume  a  5,1%  risk   free   rate  which   is  taken  from  the  annual  return  of  a  Spanish  10  year  bond.    

• β:  Regression  Coefficient.  Once  returns  were  calculated,  we  have  obtained  from  Bloomberg  the  Beta  of  BBVA  that  amounted  to  2.24.  The  beta   is   the  regression  coefficient  that  measures  the  percentage  change  in  Ke  (Cost  of  

Page 15: BBVA valuation 2012

  15  

Equity)  of  BBVA,  for  a  1%  increase  in  the  Spread  (Market  Risk  Premium  -­‐  Risk  Free).  

 • Ke:  Cost  of  equity.    As  a  result  BBVA’s  cost  of  equity  is  7,58%  

   

Finally  we  discount  the  expected  dividends  with  the  cost  of  capital  and,  using  the  Gordon  Growth  Model,  we  add  the  Residual  Value.    

 

BBVA(NPV ) =Div1(1+ ke)

+Div2(1+ ke)2

+Div3(1+ ke)3

+ ...+ Div(ke − g)

 

 So  that  BBVA  value  is  73.636  €  mill  from  which  the  residual  value  is  63.891€  mill

             It   is   easily   to   perceive   that   the   economic   crisis   in   Spain   is   critical   and  most   challenging   for   the  banking  sector:  economy  is  already  in  recession,  economic  activity  will  be  low  until  it  recovers.  This  together  with   the   crisis   of   the  European  banking   system  and   the   low   interest   rates   policy   of   the  European  Central  Bank  also  reinforce  the  idea  that  the  loan  book  in  Europe  won’t  grow.  If  the  loan  book  does  not  grow,  neither  does  the  net  interest  income.    This  view  almost  contrasts  with  the  situation  in  Mexico  where  even  if  unemployment  is  still  rising,  definitely  at  much  lower  levels  and  economy  is  growing  and  a  large  potential  growth  is  in  view.  USA  presents   a  more   stable   view   than   Spain   but   also   some   doubts   are   in  mind.   The   economy   is   still  recovering   from   the   financial   crisis,   for   2013   the   Fiscal   Cliff   was   the   main   worry,   still   the   high  public  deficit  can  affect  the  economy  and,  in  turn,  the  banking  activity.        

                   The  last  two  graphs  show  the  growing  risk  of  deflation  in  Spain:  even  if  along  with  the  OMT  policy  of  the  ECB  to  acquire  huge  amounts  of  government  bonds,  money  growth  falls  and  inflation  rates  are   still   low.  Moreover   it   is   also   necessary   to   take   into   account   in   the   analyses   some   financial  indicators  of  the  banking  industry  in  each  country.

               The  high  (6%)  NPL  ratios  that  Mexico  presented  at  the  beginning  of  the  decade  are  now  reached  in  Spain.  This  also  supports  the  low  expectation  of  Loan  growth  in  Spain  and  a  more  attractive  opportunity  in  Mexico.    The  gross  saving  indicators  foresee  an  increment  of  Mexican  deposits  and  similar  financial  products  in  the  medium  run  while  in  USA  and  Spain  the  situation  is  more  questionable:    

• Spanish   Banking   Authority   (BDE)   is   trying   to   penalize   the   deposit   business   as   a  consequence   of   the   war   for   deposits   (or   for   liquidity)   that   took   place   last   year.   It   is  important   to   make   a   point   here:   BBVA   as   one   of   the   few   diversified   Spanish   Banks   is  perceived   in   Spain   as   a   refuge   which   enabled   the   bank   to   attract   flight   deposits.   This  together  with  the  contraction  of  the  loan  book  improves  the  Loan/Deposit  ratio.  In  the  long  run  the  situation  for  BBVA  Spain  remains  highly  uncertain.  

• In  US  the  extremely  strong  competition   is   the  main   impediment   for  an   important  market  positioning  of  the  company
