Material Changes
The material change reported is the execution of the First Tranche of BBVA's own share buyback program.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future earnings, or discussion of general business risks. The primary contingency noted is the ongoing execution of the buyback program managed by J.P. Morgan SE.
