Bus<strong>in</strong>ess areasIn this section we discuss the more significant aspects of the activities and earn<strong>in</strong>gs of the Group’sdifferent bus<strong>in</strong>ess areas, along with those of the ma<strong>in</strong> units with<strong>in</strong> each, plus Corporate Activities.Specifically, we deal with the <strong>in</strong>come statement, the balance sheet and the ma<strong>in</strong> ratios: efficiency,NPA ratio, NPA coverage ratio and risk premium.In <strong>2012</strong> the ma<strong>in</strong> change <strong>in</strong> the report<strong>in</strong>g structure of the bus<strong>in</strong>ess areas of the <strong>BBVA</strong> Group hasbeen the transfer to the United States of the assets and liabilities of a branch <strong>in</strong> Houston, whichpreviously belonged to Mexico (<strong>BBVA</strong> Bancomer). This has been done tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to account thegeographical nature of the Group’s report<strong>in</strong>g structure. In addition, other changes have been madethat affect other areas and which ow<strong>in</strong>g to their irrelevant nature need no comment.Thus, the composition of the bus<strong>in</strong>ess areas <strong>in</strong> <strong>2012</strong> is very similar to that exist<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> theprevious year:• Spa<strong>in</strong>, which <strong>in</strong>cludes: The retail network, with the segments of <strong>in</strong>dividual customers, privatebank<strong>in</strong>g, and small bus<strong>in</strong>esses <strong>in</strong> the domestic market; Corporate and Bus<strong>in</strong>ess Bank<strong>in</strong>g (CBB),which handles the needs of SMEs, corporations, government and developers <strong>in</strong> the country;Corporate & Investment Bank<strong>in</strong>g (CIB), which <strong>in</strong>cludes activity with large corporations andmult<strong>in</strong>ational groups; Global Markets (GM), with the trad<strong>in</strong>g floor and distribution bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong>the domestic market; and other units, among them <strong>BBVA</strong> Seguros and Asset Management(management of mutual and pension funds <strong>in</strong> Spa<strong>in</strong>).• Eurasia, which <strong>in</strong>cludes bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong> the rest of Europe and Asia. Europe <strong>in</strong>cludes <strong>BBVA</strong> Portugal,Consumer F<strong>in</strong>ance Italia and Portugal, the retail bus<strong>in</strong>ess of the branches <strong>in</strong> Paris, London andBrussels, the wholesale activity carried out <strong>in</strong> the region (exclud<strong>in</strong>g Spa<strong>in</strong>) and Turkey (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>gthe stake <strong>in</strong> Garanti). Asia <strong>in</strong>cludes all the retail and wholesale bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong> that cont<strong>in</strong>ent and thestake <strong>in</strong> CNCB and CIFH.• Mexico: <strong>in</strong>cludes the bank<strong>in</strong>g, pensions and <strong>in</strong>surance bus<strong>in</strong>esses <strong>in</strong> the country.• United States: encompasses the Group’s bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong> the United States.• South America: <strong>in</strong>cludes the bank<strong>in</strong>g, pensions and <strong>in</strong>surance bus<strong>in</strong>esses <strong>in</strong> South America.As well as the units <strong>in</strong>dicated, all the areas also have allocations of other bus<strong>in</strong>esses that also<strong>in</strong>clude elim<strong>in</strong>ations and other items not assigned to the units.F<strong>in</strong>ally, the Corporate Activities area <strong>in</strong>cludes the rest of items that are not allocated to thebus<strong>in</strong>ess areas, as <strong>in</strong> previous years. These basically <strong>in</strong>clude the costs of headquarters with astrictly corporate function, certa<strong>in</strong> allocations to provisions such as early retirements and othersalso of a corporate nature. Corporate Activities also performs f<strong>in</strong>ancial management functionsfor the Group as a whole; essentially management of asset and liability positions for <strong>in</strong>terest rates<strong>in</strong> the euro-denom<strong>in</strong>ated balance sheet and for exchange rates, as well as liquidity and capitalmanagement functions. The management of asset and liability <strong>in</strong>terest-rate risk <strong>in</strong> currenciesother than the euro is recorded <strong>in</strong> the correspond<strong>in</strong>g bus<strong>in</strong>ess areas. Lastly, it <strong>in</strong>cludes certa<strong>in</strong>portfolios and assets not l<strong>in</strong>ked to customers, with its correspond<strong>in</strong>g revenues and costs, suchas the <strong>in</strong>dustrial and f<strong>in</strong>ancial hold<strong>in</strong>gs and the Group’s real-estate assets <strong>in</strong> Spa<strong>in</strong> assigned toheadquarter services and foreclosed or purchased assets.In addition, supplementary <strong>in</strong>formation is provided of the global bus<strong>in</strong>ess (formerly calledWholesale Bank<strong>in</strong>g & Asset Management –WB&AM– and now Corporate & Investment Bank<strong>in</strong>g)carried out by the <strong>BBVA</strong> Group. This aggregate does not <strong>in</strong>clude the asset management bus<strong>in</strong>ess.This aggregate of bus<strong>in</strong>esses is considered relevant to better understand the <strong>BBVA</strong> Group becauseof the customers served, the type of products offered and the risks undertaken.132 Bus<strong>in</strong>ess areas
Furthermore, as usual <strong>in</strong> the case of The Americas, both constant and current exchange rateshave been applied when calculat<strong>in</strong>g year-on-year variations.The Group compiles report<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>formation by areas on a level as disaggregated as possible, andall data relat<strong>in</strong>g to the bus<strong>in</strong>esses these units manage is recorded <strong>in</strong> full. These basic units arethen aggregated <strong>in</strong> accordance with the organizational structure established by the Group athigher-level units and, f<strong>in</strong>ally, the bus<strong>in</strong>ess areas themselves. Similarly, all the companies mak<strong>in</strong>gup the Group are also assigned to the different units accord<strong>in</strong>g to the geographical area of theiractivity.Once the composition of each bus<strong>in</strong>ess area has been def<strong>in</strong>ed, certa<strong>in</strong> management criteria areapplied, of which the follow<strong>in</strong>g are particularly important:• Capital: Capital is allocated to each bus<strong>in</strong>ess accord<strong>in</strong>g to economic risk capital (ERC) criteria.This is based on the concept of unexpected loss at a specific confidence level, depend<strong>in</strong>g onthe Group’s capital adequacy targets. These targets have two levels: the first is core equity,which determ<strong>in</strong>es the capital allocated. This amount is used as a basis for calculat<strong>in</strong>g theprofitability of each bus<strong>in</strong>ess. The second level is total capital, which determ<strong>in</strong>es the additionalallocation <strong>in</strong> terms of subord<strong>in</strong>ate debt and preferred securities. The calculation of the ERCcomb<strong>in</strong>es credit risk, market risk, structural balance-sheet risk, equity positions, operationalrisk and fixed asset and technical risks <strong>in</strong> the case of <strong>in</strong>surance companies. These calculationsare carried out us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>ternal models that have been def<strong>in</strong>ed follow<strong>in</strong>g the guidel<strong>in</strong>es andrequirements established under the Basel II capital accord, with economic criteria prevail<strong>in</strong>gover regulatory ones.ERC is risk-sensitive and thus l<strong>in</strong>ked to the management policies of the bus<strong>in</strong>esses themselves.It standardizes capital allocation between them <strong>in</strong> accordance with the risks <strong>in</strong>curred andmakes it easier to compare profitability across units. In other words, it is calculated <strong>in</strong> a way thatis standard and <strong>in</strong>tegrated for all k<strong>in</strong>ds of risks and for each operation, balance or risk position,allow<strong>in</strong>g its risk-adjusted return to be assessed and an aggregate to be calculated for theprofitability by client, product, segment, unit or bus<strong>in</strong>ess area.• Internal transfer prices: Internal transfer rates are applied to calculate the net <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong>comeof each bus<strong>in</strong>ess, on both the assets and liabilities. These rates are composed of a market ratethat depends on the revision period of the operation, and a liquidity premium that reflects theconditions and prospects of the f<strong>in</strong>ancial markets <strong>in</strong> this area. Earn<strong>in</strong>gs are distributed acrossrevenue-generat<strong>in</strong>g and distribution units (e.g., <strong>in</strong> asset management products) at marketprices.• Assignment of operat<strong>in</strong>g expenses: Both direct and <strong>in</strong>direct costs are assigned to the bus<strong>in</strong>essareas, except where there is no clearly def<strong>in</strong>ed relationship with the bus<strong>in</strong>esses, i.e. when theyare of a clearly corporate or <strong>in</strong>stitutional nature for the Group as a whole.• Cross sell<strong>in</strong>g: <strong>in</strong> some cases, consolidation adjustments are required to elim<strong>in</strong>ate shadowaccount<strong>in</strong>g entries <strong>in</strong> the results of two or more units as a result of cross-sell<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>centives.Recurrent economic profit by bus<strong>in</strong>ess area(January-December <strong>2012</strong>.
