Madrid.- BBVA obtained an attributable profit of 6,420 million euros in 2022, the highest in its history and 38% more than the previous year, supported by higher recurring income derived from its commercial activity.
As reported today by the entity to the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), this result includes some non-recurring expenses such as the 201 million euros spent on the purchase of offices in Spain from Merlin in June, the net costs associated with the process of restructuring or the 416 million from BBVA USA and the rest of the companies sold to the investment fund PNC.
In this way, the bank will allocate more than 3,000 million euros to raise the dividend corresponding to 2022, up to 43 cents per share, and to a new share repurchase plan of 422 million euros, explains the note sent to the supervisor.
