Expected Impact Of Initial Application Of New Standards Or Interpretations Line Items  
Title Of New IFRS IFRS 15 - “Revenue from contracts with customers”
Nature Of Impending Change In Accounting Policy IFRS 15 contains the principles that an entity shall apply to account for revenue and cash flows arising from a contract with a customer (see Note 2.2.17). The core principle of IFRS 15 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services, in accordance with contractual agreements (either over time or at a certain time). It is considered that the good or service is transferred when the customer obtains control over it. The new Standard replaces IAS 18 – Revenue, IAS 11 - Construction Contracts, IFRIC 13 - Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 - Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 - Transfers of Assets from Customers and SIC 31 – Revenue-Transactions Involving Advertising Services.

IFRS 16 [Member] | After december 31, 2018 [Member]  
Expected Impact Of Initial Application Of New Standards Or Interpretations Line Items  
Title Of New IFRS IFRS 16 – “Leases”
Nature Of Impending Change In Accounting Policy On January 13, 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 which will replace IAS 17 “Leases” for financial statements from January 1, 2019 onwards. The new standard introduces a single lessee accounting model and will require a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases. The only exceptions are short-term contracts and those in which the underlying assets have low value. A lessee will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. With regard to lessor accounting, IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor will continue to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and account for those two types of leases differently. During the financial years 2017 and 2018 the Group has carried out a project to implement IFRS 16 with the participation of all affected areas. The standard will mainly affect the accounting of operating leases of the Group. With regard to the estimated impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements, at the transition date, the Group has decided to apply the modified retrospective approach which requires recognition of a lease liability equal to the present value of the future payments committed on January 1, 2019. Regarding the measurement of the right-of-use asset, the Group has elected to record an amount equal to the lease liability. As a result of this approach, the Group expects to recognize assets for the right-of-use and lease liabilities for an approximate amount of 3,600 million euros mainly coming from the Group’s activity in Spain as well as from bank branches leases. The estimated impact in terms of capital (CET1) for the Group amounts to -12 basis points.
Discussion Of Impact That Initial Application Of IFRS Is Expected To Have On Financial Statements The final impact of adopting the standard as of January 1, 2019 may change because: the Group has not concluded the tests; the new accounting policies, methodologies and parameters may be subject to changes until the Group presents its financial statements that include the final impact as of the date of initial application.

Title Of New IFRS IFRS 2 – “Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions”
Nature Of Impending Change In Accounting Policy The amendments made to IFRS 2 provide requirements on three different aspects: When measuring the fair value of a cash-settled share-based payment vesting conditions, other than market conditions, the conditions for the irrevocability shall be taken into account by adjusting the number of awards included in the measurement of the liability arising from the transaction. A transaction in which an entity settles a share-base payment arrangement net by withholding a specified portion of the equity instruments to meet a statutory tax withholding obligation will be classified as equity settled in its entirety if, without the net settlement feature, the entire share-based payment would otherwise be classified as equity-settled. In case of modification of a share-based payment from cash-settled to equity-settled, the modification will be accounted for derecognizing the original liability and recognizing in equity the fair value of the equity instruments granted to the extent that services have been rendered up to the modification date; any difference will be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The overlay approach, that gives all issuers of insurance contracts the option to recognize in other comprehensive income, rather than profit or loss, the additional accounting volatility that may arise from applying IFRS 9 compared to applying IAS 39 before applying the forthcoming insurance contracts standard.

Title Of New IFRS IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
Nature Of Impending Change In Accounting Policy IFRIC 23 provides guidance on how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. If the entity considers that it is probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Interpretation requires the entity to determine taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. If the entity considers that it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the Interpretation requires the entity to use the most likely amount or the expected value (sum of the probability. weighted amounts in a range of possible outcomes) in determining taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates. The method used should be the method that the entity expects to provide the better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.
