In this regard, BBVA shall maintain at consolidated level a total capital ratio of 13.60% and a CET1 capital ratio of 9.36% effective from January 1, 2027. These capital ratios include a Pillar 2 requirement at a consolidated level of 1.70%, of which a minimum of 0.96% shall be met with CET11.
In addition, BBVA shall maintain, effective from January 1, 2027 at the individual level, a total capital ratio of 11.25% and a CET1 capital ratio of 7.75%.

Madrid, October 26th, 2026
1 The general Pillar 2 requirement increases from 1.50% to 1.70% compared with the previous year, while the additional 0.12% requirement associated with the ECB’s prudential provisioning expectations, which had to be met entirely with CET1 capital, is no longer applicable.
2 The countercyclical buffer is estimated as of December 2026, using the outstanding exposures as of June 2026.
