THE BBV GROUP - THIRD QUARTER 1998
The BBV Group continued to show its capacity to generate profits, increasing its
bottom line (and hence EPS) by more than 25% to 111,384 million pesetas. This
brings the Group's ROE (return on equity) up to 20%. Despite the difficult
quarter, BBV continues surpassing the demanding commitments undertaken at the
beginning of 1998 as part of its strategic Programa Two* 1000.
These results were obtained after booking provisions of over 200 billion
pesetas, a 55.6% increase over the September 1997 provision level. It should be
noted the voluntary charge to the income statement of over 120 billion pesetas
of extraordinary provisions (accelerated goodwill amortisation, special reserve
allocations, country-risk provisions and other Latin American provisions.) The
fact that the BBV Group produced such strong profit in spite of large
provisioning reaffirms one of the BBV Group's basic characteristics, its ability
to generate income on a recurrent basis - even in adverse economic conditions.
In addition to its always-strict control measures, BBV has historically applied
stringent cautious criteria with regard to financial market risk assumptions.
At the end of August, our investment in Russia and Asia was non-existent, and
the fixed income trading portfolio represented only 0.5% of total assets
managed. As a result if we look at the third quarter alone, we note a decline
in market operations profits versus previous quarters. Nonetheless, the balance
has again become positive at 6,715 million pesetas.
Among the highlights of the quarter were the incorporations of Banco Excel of
Brazil (August), Banco BHIF of Chile (30 September) and PonceBank following its
merger with BBV Puerto Pico (July). In total, these banks brought with them
assets of 1.2 trillion pesetas. The net profit of BBV-America continued to grow
in the third quarter reaching 32.4 billion pesetas, more than twice the 1997
nine first months figure. When looking at these results, it is crucial to bear
in mind the level of accelerated goodwill amortisation of these banks combined
with other extraordinary provisions exceeds such net profit. In simple terms,
though BBV-America is generating profits, such area is not contributing yet to
the bottom line of the Consolidated Group.
About the year 2000 issue the BBV Group set-up almost three years ago a
project to evaluate and resolve the risks derived from the so-called "year 2000
effect". The top management of the Group has begin directly involved and each
business area has joined-in as its participation has been made necessary. This
project consists of several action plans among which its worth noting those for
systems adaption, tests and possible contingencies in order to ensure the
adequate performance of all the computer applications from January 1st 2000.
Consumer lending, which has been strong all year, continued to show a favourable
evolution during the third quarter. This activity, along with guaranteed
mortgages which grew by more than 20%, is in large part responsible for the
19.6% year on year increase in resident sector lending, where the BBV Group
is gaining market share. Lower credit demand from the Public Sector accounts for
the 9% drop in this line from last year. Lastly, non-resident sector lending
showed the greatest increase, though this is mainly explained by the larger
perimeter of consolidation as strict risk control has in fact held back growth
in some of the Latin American countries. Overall, BBv's lending portfolio topped
10 trillion pesetas, 23% more than September 1997.
BBV's non-performing loan ratio declined to 2.67%, 50 basis points lower than
September 1997. The resident sector non-performing loan ratio dropped by 0.74
percentage points to a new low of 1.48%. High provisioning again kept the
coverage ratio over 100% and was in fact higher than the June 98 figure and
September 1997 levels, both domestically and in Latn America.
Within the resident sector deposits, savings and demand account balances
remained stable in the third quarter, despite the summer holiday period. Time
deposits and repurchase agreements showed lower balances in the quarter. The
third quarter was no different than the first and second quarters of the year,
and BBV gained market share in transactional deposits. Total customer funds
totalled 13.5 trillion pesetas.
There were no significant changes in the trend of custorner funds caption in the
third quarter. Growth in mutual funds was, however, restrained, clearly the
result of the extremely negative price brought on by the recent market crisis.
In any case, year on year growth was over 30% for the Group and nearly 33% in
Spain alone, almost nine percentage points above the growth in the domestic
financlal system as a whole. This translated into a 0.66 percentage point
increase in market share since December 1997 (0.88 percentage points over
September 1997).
BBV continued as leader in pension fund management in Spain, increasing funds
under management by 22.6%. The increase for the Group as a whole including
funds managed in Latin America was 29%.
The BBV Group's net interest income in the third quarter of 1998 was its best
ever. The net interest income of the Group's Latin affilates combined increased
by 50% -the result of popular new products and BBV management techniques.
Similarly, successful definse of margins and of domestic products has enabled
the Group to maintain its customer spread despite the fall in interest rates.
This quarter's results put the Group's interannual growth rate near 25%.
Net fee income was healthy as well, with year on year growth at 50.8%. Again
notable were the increases in mutual/pension fund management income and
income from investment security services. Lack of large public offering
transactions caused the figures for the third quarter be slightly below the
first half average, as did the strong seasonal influence of summer. Despite
this comparison, growth in commission income was up 33.1% over 3rd quarter
1997.
Turbulence in the stock market significantly reduced income from market
operations in the third quarter, and nine months figure which was down 38.4%
over the same period 1997. Nonetheless, adequate market risk management
produced a net profit in the third quarter of over 6,700 million pesetas.
The positive results of PRACTYCO are becoming evident in the income
statement. Excluding Latin America, operating increased by a scant 1.7%,
which improved the efficiency ratio by some two points. As a result,
the Group's overall efficiency ratio in third quarter 1998 is the same as it
was at year end 1997, despite the drop in revenue from markets, the opening of
new offices in Latin America and the recent incorporation of some
still-inefficient affiliates.
At the General Shareholder Meeting on June 30, another three for one split was
approved. Such split took place on July ll, 1998 in Spain. Following the
split the nominal value of each share stands at 90 pesetas. This operation
was undertaken for the same reason as in 1997: to make the BBV share more
accessible to the individual investor and to increase liquidity.
On July 11, 1998, the first 19% interim dividend was paid in the gross amount
of 7.7 pesetas per share. (Note that this amount was paid to each share
outstanding after the three for one split, which corresponds to a pre-split
amount of 23.10 pesetas per share.) On October 10, 1998, the second 1998 interim
dividend was paid again in the gross amount of 7.7 pesetas per share. Both
dividends represent a 21 % increase over the first and second divdends of 1997.
Lastly, in the last low weeks, the leading rating agencies have reviewed the
BBV fundamentals, confirming BBV ratings.
