Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA) covers the month of December 2025, with the report dated December 23, 2025. The filing communicates "Other Relevant Information" regarding the partial execution of a share capital reduction resolution previously adopted by the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting on March 21, 2025.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide standard financial performance metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The document focuses exclusively on capital structure adjustments.
- Capital Reduction Amount: 26,615,214.85 euros (nominal amount).
- Shares Cancelled: 54,316,765 own shares (treasury shares).
- Par Value per Share: 0.49 euros.
- Post-Reduction Share Capital: 2,797,394,663 euros.
- Post-Reduction Total Shares Outstanding: 5,708,968,700 shares.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the reduction of BBVA's share capital through the cancellation of treasury shares acquired under a share repurchase program completed on December 10, 2025. This action reduces the total number of outstanding shares and the nominal share capital. The filing explicitly states that this reduction does not entail a return of contributions to shareholders, as the company itself owned the redeemed shares.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future performance, or discussion of general business risks. The only specific contingency noted is that the capital reduction is charged to unrestricted reserves (specifically the reserve for redeemed capital) and, under Article 335 c) of the Spanish Companies Act, does not grant creditors the right of opposition typically associated with capital reductions.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the updated share count of 5,708,968,700 shares in subsequent trading data.
- Confirm the delisting of the 54,316,765 redeemed shares from relevant Stock Exchanges.
- Check the accounting records of IBERCLEAR for the official cancellation of the redeemed shares.
- Review the impact of the capital reduction on earnings per share (EPS) in the next quarterly report, given the reduced share count.
