BBVA (NYSE: BB, BCS: BBVACL) reports its results for the period ended December 31, 2004. Net income for the quarter reached Ch$7,922 millions (proforma), however voluntary provisions made over loan and some other expenses write-off, in the context of the application of more conservative principles, allowed to obtain a final result of Ch$14,485 million in 2004 (Ch$33,094 millions in a proforma statement). This voluntary provision permitted to increase the ratio of reserves over past due loans from 93.5% in 3Q04 to 124.9% in 4Q04.

1. Results of Operations

The Bank’s net income of Ch$14,485 million for fiscal year 2004 is impacted by the voluntary provisions made in the 4Q04 of Ch$18,609 million (including the effect of income taxes). This is the result of applying more conservative principles over the credit risk in the effort of increasing the solvency of the Bank over the past due loans and show an important strengthening in terms of credit risk administration (Ch$12,842 million). To accelerate the amortization specific technology investment (Ch$4,137 million) and the write-off for the bonus pre-payment, that will allow to increase the net interest margin in the next quarters (Ch$5,445 millions). All this voluntary expense has a positive impact on income taxes for Ch$3,815 million. This provision allow us to have a better ratio of reserves over past due loans, increasing from 93.5% in 3Q04 to 124.9% in 4Q04 (98.2% proforma in 4Q04).

The proforma result (before voluntary provision and write-off) in the 4Q04 reached Ch$7,922 million, 99.2% higher than the result of the same quarter a year earlier, reflecting the continuous growth of our earnings and the better performance of the credit risk, while the operating expenses increased in the context of our strategic plan development. In cumulative terms, the net income for 2004 increase by 22.1% in the same period, permitting to enhance the return over equity from 11.42% to 13.12% in a proforma statement. All in the context of strong loans growth that permit compensate the lower interest rates and inflation in the net interest revenue. Closer to our organic growing strategic plan, the net income stemming from services raised by 19.7% in the same period, partly compensating by the lower results obtained in net revenues on financial instrument, generated in the current scenario of higher long term interest rates.

*These results (unaudited) have been prepared on a consolidated basis and in accordance with Chilean GAAP. All figures are shown in nominal Millions of Chilean pesos, unless otherwise stated.

In summary, a better generation based on healthy loan growth strategy, permit us to finish with result exercise in 2004 (in a proforma statement) and make extra provision and write-off (in voluntary terms), giving the Bank more solvency to face the future expansion.

2. Activity: Asset and Liabilities

The successful growth strategy led to an increase in assets of 17.4% between December 2003 and December 2004, maintaining an important dynamism in loans. This year has been achieved our loan performance through sustained growth in all area of business, with an important activity in commercial loans (+20.4% year over year), mortgage loans (+36.3% YoY) and foreign trade loans (+25.5% YoY). As a result, our market share at the end of December 2004 in total loans, reached in 7.74% rising 55 basic point in the year, fulfilling our main goal of increasing our market share at least 50 basic point each year.

In terms of liabilities, the important activity in loan has been supported principally by deposits, which rose by 20.3% year over year at December 2004. It is important to notice that in this growth the balance in current accounts expanded 25% in the same period of last year, increasing the portion of lower cost funds in our cost mix structure. On the other hand, the shareholder’s equity increased only by 0,8% in the year, because there is still surplus in capital. In fact, the Basle index was 11.42%, over the 8% current legislation demand.

In 1Q 2005 net income of the Bank totaled Ch$8.270 million, slightly lower when compared to 1Q 2004. This result is obtained in a less favorable interest rates environment and in a higher competitive system frame. Additionally, the structure of the Bank’s statement of income shows a favorable management of the net financial margin, a positive result controlling operating expenses, lower provisions made during the quarter and a better result of non operating incomes.

The Bank’s net financial margin of the quarter shows a decrease of only 2.8% when compared to 1Q04 thanks to a “fine” management of the balance sheet supported by a better funding mix. It is worth mentioning that the context of less favorable interest rates environment for banking activities and higher competition levels has pulled-down spreads for the whole financial system.

*These results (unaudited) have been prepared on a consolidated basis and in accordance with Chilean GAAP. All figures are shown in nominal Millions of Chilean pesos, unless otherwise stated.

Income from services net has also shown a good pace during the quarter considering that in 1Q04 the Bank record non-recurrent commissions from subsidiaries and investment banking up to Ch$950 million. Moreover, the Bank has improved the structure of income from services increasing those belong to a recurrent basis.

Operating expenses for the quarter registered a slight increase of 1,5% compared to the same period of 2004, revealing solid results of expenses-control measures applied in 2004 and also explained by the non-ocurrence of expenses related with the expansion of the Bank’s branch network and the launching of 45 Center of Services called “BBVA Express” in 2004. The slight increase of expenses compares positively to the growth of activity in twelve months (+22,8%) and consequently improving Bank’s efficiency ratios.

The Bank has reached a remarkable performance in total loans when compared with the industry, growing 22.8% in twelve months and with a quarterly expansion of 4.3%. Loan growth has been positively impacted by solid signs of economic recovery and by the correct application of our current strategic plan called “Nueva Etapa” launched in March 2002. Our growth is powered by a good performance both personal and business loans, achieving a harmonic commercial development of the Bank.

The positive pace in activity recorded by the Bank has resulted in an increase of the market share in total loans of 48 basis points in twelve months, positioning the Bank as the institution with the second largest increase of market share in the whole industry. The growth of Personal Banking has been guided by mortgage loans financed by the Bank (+32,4%) when compared to 1Q04. Corporate banking has also recorded a remarkable performance reaching an increase of 40% in loans with a clear leadership in that segment.

Asset quality also shows an improvement compared with previous quarters. Over the past twelve months past due loans to total loans ratio has dropped significantly from 1.85% 1Q04 to 1.61% in the same period of 2005 while allowances over past due loans ratio has improved from 97,6% in 1Q04 to 119,5% in 1Q05. The improvement of asset quality is also reflected in non-performing loans which has decreased by 6.7% in twelve months. Finally, risk index shows a decreasing trend in the period after being affected by extraordinary allowances made in December 2004 by applying a more conservative evaluation of the contingent risks.

Finally, the Bank’s resources of clients remarks an equilibrated expansion between non interest liabilities and time deposits (+17.1% and +21.2% respectively). The twelve-month increase in non interest liabilities has been triggered by an expansion of 21.4% in current accounts balances while banker’s drafts and other demand deposits show a healthy increase of 13.6%. The good performance in non interest liabilities has allowed a “fine” management of the margins as mentioned before.
