THE BBV GROUP IN 1998
BBV NET ATTRIBUTABLE PROFIT RISES 25.1% DESPITE
MAJOR EXTRAORDINARY PROVISIONING
BBYs net attributable profit to shareholders in 1998 reached 983 million euros
(163.6 billion pesetas). Earnings per share were 0.48 euros (80 pesetas), and
the Group's return on equity (ROE) increased to 21% (from 18.4% in 1997). The
capital base remained strong with a BIS ratio of 12.1 % (9% Tier 1).
This profit was achieved after the Group provisioned a significant 1,728 million
euros (287 billion pesetas), nearly 60% of which was extraordinary in nature and
mainly related to accelerated goodwill amortization.
Customer business performed very satisfactorily, with a 17.7% increase in net
lending, 6.3% in deposits and 37.5% in off-balance sheet products, particularly
mutual and pension funds. The balance sheet itself grew by only 5.5% thanks to
effective assets and liabilities management. The Group increased its domestic
market share in 1998 across the board (lending, deposits, mutual funds and
investment funds).
The non-performing loan ratio improved both domestically (from 1.96% to 1.25%)
and on a Group-consolidated basis (from 2.91% to 2.52%), despite the recent
Latin American incorporations. The Group's coverage ratio continued its steady
increase in 1998, from 114.3% to 128%.
All margins (net interest income, basic and operating) grew at or above 20%.
The basic margin (net interest income plus commissions) has over the past few
years become the most accurate financial measure of evolution of the business,
given the drop in interest rates, increased competition and the customer shift
from traditional savings to off-balance funds. At BBV, this margin increased by
27.2% in 1998 (8.5% domestically), showing the capacity that the BBV network has
to adapt to changing market conditions.
Operating income showed healthy growth in 1998 despite the 26.4% drop in
revenue from market operations that resulted from the extreme market turbulence
during the year. On a more positive note, operating expenses were very
contained during the year, thanks to PRACTYCO. The Group's domestic efficiency
ratio improved from 52.4% to 50.4%, and excluding the recent incorporation of
Brazil, the overall efficiency ratio improved as well.
The significant 700 million euros in capital gains booked for the year
represents only 40% of the Group's provisions, an indication that the quality of
the Group's earnings has improved. Despite these gains, the latent capital gains
in the portfolio are still 35% higher now than in December 1997. This is
proof-positive that the area of Diversification or Industrial Holdings, one of
the BBV Group's seven core businesses, is indeed recurrent in nature.
At the Annual General Meeting, to be held on February 27th, the Board will
propose a dividend of 22.8 eurocents (38 pesetas), a 20% increase for the year
that will maintain a pay-out ratio below 50%.
The objectives established in Programa Two*Thousand for 1998, the first year of
the new strategic plan, have been amply surpassed:
1998
ACTUAL 98-TARGET
Net attributable profit +25.1% +20%
Dividend per share +20.0% +15%
Business volume +16.5% +15%
ROE +21.0% +20% (by year 2000)
Market Capitalization +35.4% Above domestic peers
1998 avg: 30.2%
