Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (Santiago Stock Exchange)

~~(Santiago,~~Stock ~~Chile,~~Exchange February 5, 2005)—BBVA (NYSE: BB, BCS: BBVACL) reports its results for the third quarter of 2004 ended September 30, 2004. Net income for the quarter reached Ch$8,516 million (an 8.2% increase year on year), one of the best results in the history of the Bank. As of September 30, 2004, the 17.6% increase in total loans was achieved through a harmonic development of each and every one of the business areas that enables us to position ourselves as one of the banks with the fastest growth in market share over the year.

~~THIRD~~Bolsa ~~QUARTER~~Electrónica ~~2004~~de ~~HIGHLIGHTS~~ Chile (Chile Electronic Stock Exchange)

•Stock Exchange As of the third quarter of 2004, net income continues to strengthen, reaching Ch$8.516 million. Such increase surpasses 3Q03 net income by 8.2%. Thus, our accumulated net income for the year rose to Ch$25,172 million, an 8.8% increase over the accumulated net income at 3Q03. This positive evolution stems from the significant growth of our activity level, which more than compensated the adverse effect of the declining market interest rates, and from the increase in commissions. The above was achieved within a framework of controlled expenditures (while expanding our distribution network) and a remarkable management of recoveries that allowed us to reduce our risk expenditures.

~~Net~~Dear ~~interest~~Sirs: revenues on 3Q04 show a remarkable increase over the revenues attained on 3Q03 (157.3%) and the net interest revenues accumulated over the first three quarters of 2004 show a 56.5% increase over the revenues accumulated over the first nine months of 2003. In the third quarter of 2004 we reap the benefits of a higher inflation (1.03% on 3Q04 versus –0.1% on 3Q03), together with the positive effect from an increased volume of activity that more than compensates the lower interest rates associated with the new loans that enter our portfolio. In accumulated revenues, though, it is the lesser appreciation of the local currency which mostly explains the increase in net interest revenue.

The Board has adopted this decision in light of the minimal benefits it receives from listing its securities on the U.S. market, the small number of holders of ADRs, which has been sustained over a prolonged period, and the cost associated with this program.

*Co-Chairman ~~unconsolidated data~~

On a homogeneous basis, credit risk expenses during the third quarter of 2004 decreased 2.8% as compared with the same quarter of 2003. Also, accumulated credit risk expenses as of September 2004 exhibit a decrease of 11.2% year on year. Such favorable evolution bears fruit to the successful management of risk regarding recoveries. The reduced risk expenses, together with the improving economic environment, cause these expenses to demand a lesser proportion of the operational income as compared to 2003, bringing accumulated risk expenses down from 23.2% of operational income as of September 2003 to 13.9% of operational income as of September 2004.

In an environment of high competition and low interest rates, the development of alternative sources of income has played an important role in the improvement of operating results. Income from services have grown steadily over the year, registering a 22.7% increase on 3Q04 as compared to 3Q03, and accumulating over the year an amount 17% higher than the income from services accumulated over 2003. It is noteworthy to mention that income stemming from the new INP contract has played an important role in this increased income from services. The marked growth of the Bank’s business has also brought in an increase in the recurring income from clients, which attained a 16.2% growth when comparing accumulated income as of September 2004 with the accumulated income as of September 2003.

Other operating income stemming from the investment portfolio and foreign exchange operations contracted 41.9% on the third quarter of 2004, as compared with the same quarter of 2003, and contracted 72.8% when comparing accumulated income as of September 2004 with the accumulated income as of September 2003. As we mentioned before, the open position in forwards is hedged with Central Bank instruments. The position reprices according to the fluctuations of the exchange rate and acknowledges the income from the instruments as interest income but the income from the differences

is registered as foreign exchange transactions. This latter income has decreased on 3Q04 to nearly one half of the income generated on 3Q03.

Accumulated net results from price differences in the investments portfolio grow 84.5% as of September 2004 when compared to the accumulated results as of September 2003. Such growth is the consequence of the increased results generated on the first quarter of 2004 with the contraction of the market interest rates and of the results generated on the third quarter of 2004 by the securitization of part of the portfolio of self-financed mortgage bonds (“mutuos”) and of leasing contracts. The securitization was carried out at a moment when long term interest rates were starting an upwards trend.

In September 2004 the Bank handed a UF 1.1 million portfolio of self-financed mortgage bonds (“mutuos”) and leasing contracts to Securitizadora Interamericana, who issued a bond that was successfully placed in the local market. The operation generated a net benefit of over Ch$3,400 million, that was mainly used to constitute provisions on non operating expenses.

The development of our strategic plan has required an increase in the operating expenses, which is in accordance with the greater coverage achieved by the Bank. Thus, on the third quarter of 2004, total operating expenses increase 11.7% as compared with the third quarter of 2003, and the accumulated expenses as of the end of 3Q04 are 8.7% higher than at the end of 3Q03. The increased expenses have not had a negative effect on our efficiency ratio, which remains stable changing from 55.59% at 3Q03 to 55.99% at 3Q04, in a context of reduced operational results due to lower market interest rates and the rise of long term rates for investment portfolios.

The productivity gain attained by the Bank has caused the operating expenses to decrease as a percentage of average total assets. When comparing accumulated expenses as of the end of the third quarter 2004 with the accumulated expenses as of the same date in 2003, the ratio decreases from 2.30% to a 2.15%.

Other income and expenses in 2004 register a larger amount of write offs of assets received in lieu of payment, which are compensated with the increased income generated by the sale of those assets. Nevertheless, over the third quarter of 2004 we have made provisions for lesser expenses which were not covered, thus increasing our non operating expenses. In figures, the accumulated total other income and expenses as of September 2004 is a loss of Ch$431 million, as compared to an income of Ch$1,026 million earned as of September 2003.

Activity levels

At the closing of the third quarter 2004, the bank’s total loans reached Ch$2.794.113 millions, a 17.6% increase year on year and a 4.2% increase as compared with the previous quarter. Such growth is noticeably higher than the growth exhibited by the industry which registers only a 10% increase year on year, mostly explained by consumer loans.

By type of loan, the Bank’s most dynamic loans are mortgage loans and foreign trade loans, with year on year growths that reached 48.3% and 37.8%

respectively. The leadership attained by the Bank on mortgage loans is clear, with 2004 sales of UF 15.8 million in those loans as of September (a growth of 13% year on year). As mentioned before, the Bank carried out a securitization in September 2004 and the loans involved (Ch$11.100 million) are not counted in the above figure. If we include them, the growth in mortgage loans as of September 2004, year on year, would rise to 52.3%

Commercial loans also register a favorable evolution, growing 11.6% year on year. This growth highlights the positive results from the application of the “Nueva Etapa” (New Stage) strategic plan launched on April 2002, which focused on growing through a harmonic development of each and everyone of our “core” business segments. As in previous periods, the bank has positioned itself once more, at the end of the third quarter of 2004, in the group of banks with the largest loan market share increase over the year, in a highly competitive environment.

At the same time, the bank’s accelerated loan growth has been accompanied by an improved portfolio quality. Bearing testimony to this are the reduced expansion of past due loans (only 0.5%) and the steady decline of the bank’s risk index over the year 2004, as can be observed in the attached graph.

The decline in risk is achieved due to the concurrence of clients with a lower risk profile (both in personal banking and in business banking), by the enforcement of a stricter policy of client

evaluation and by a closer following of granted loans over the entire life of the operations. The reduced expansion of past due loans relative to the strong expansion of loans has allowed us to decrease our past due loan ratio from 2.02% at September 2003 to 1.73% at September 2004.

4. Liquidity and funding

Funding from clients as of September 2004 shows a positive trend in demand deposits, which grow 29.8% year on year surpassing the growth registered by time deposits. This predominance of no-cost demand deposits increases the proportion of non-interest earning liabilities and therefore reduces funding cost for the Bank.

The growth in non-interest earning liabilities comes from a 14.6% increase in current accounts and a 41.8% increase in banker’s drafts and other demand deposits. Both can be explained by an increase in the number of checking accounts and in “cuentas en línea” (electronic accounts) which stems from the signature of payroll handling agreements and other similar agreements, in which the bank has kept an active role.

Time deposits increased 22.0% year on year, and their composition shows a higher proportion of long term deposits, most of them in Chilean pesos; an evolution intended to protect the Bank from an eventual rise in the reference interest rate. In this respect it is noteworthy to mention that the Central Bank has already increased the reference interest rate in two occasions during the last quarter of 2004, rising the rate by 50 bp in total.

The growth of the funds managed by the General Fund Administrator is also worth highlighting. As compared to the third quarter of 2003, those funds show a 44.9% increase (+Ch$119.952 million) with positive contributions from the Personal Banking, Business Banking and Corporate Banking areas. The

developments in this business, which added a series of new funds during 2004, is consistent with the overall strategy of the bank and allows us to offer highly sophisticated financial products tailored to the specific needs of each type of client.
