Independent Auditor's Report on the Consolidated Annual Accounts

(Translation from the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.)

To the Shareholders of MAPFRE, S.A. commissioned by its Board of Directors

Report on the Consolidated Annual Accounts

Opinion __________________________________________________________________

We have audited the consolidated annual accounts of MAPFRE, S.A. and subsidiaries (together the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2017, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated notes for the year then ended.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated annual accounts give a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the consolidated equity and consolidated financial position of the Group at 31 December 2017 and of its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU) and other provisions of the financial reporting framework applicable in Spain.

Basis for Opinion _________________________________________________________

We conducted our audit in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Annual Accounts section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those regarding independence, that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated annual accounts in Spain pursuant to the legislation regulating the audit of accounts. We have not provided any non-audit services, nor have any situations or circumstances arisen which, under the aforementioned regulations, have affected the required independence such that this has been compromised.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters ________________________________________________________

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated annual accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated annual accounts as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation of mathematical provisions (Euros 23,063.43 million) See notes 5.15 and 6.14 of the notes to the consolidated annual accounts

Key audit matters How the issue was addressed in our audit
The Group calculates mathematical provisions for
commitments with its policyholders, including some
very long-term commitments. Estimating
mathematical provisions requires the use of actuarial
calculations and methods that employ key
assumptions involving a high degree of judgement
and uncertainty, including projected future mortality,
morbidity, administration costs, interest rates, etc.
In addition, International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the EU (IFRS-EU) require
that the adequacy of insurance contract liabilities be
tested, including life insurance liabilities, in order to
determine whether sufficient provision has been
made on the basis of projected future cash flows
associated with contracts in force, taking into
account the most up-to-date assumptions available.
These tests also require the use of actuarial
methods, where the assumptions employed have a
significant impact.
The use of inadequate assumptions in actuarial
methods can have a significant impact on the
consolidated annual accounts
Our audit approach included testing the design and
implementation of key controls established by the
Group for estimating mathematical provisions,
including controls on the definition of key
assumptions and on the completeness and accuracy
of the data bases used when estimating these
provisions.
Our substantive procedures in relation to the
mathematical provisions, which were carried out in
collaboration with our actuarial specialists and for a
representative sample of contracts selected based
on our assessment of risks and their significance,
consisted primarily of the following:

Testing the completeness and accuracy of the
data bases used in the actuarial calculations.

Recalculating the life insurance provision,
considering the economic and technical
conditions in the insurance contracts and those
established in prevailing legislation.

As regards the Liability Adequacy Test,
assessing the methodology employed by the
Group and its principal economic (interest rate
curves used for discounting, administration
costs, etc.) and technical (mortality, morbidity
and lapse rates, etc.) assumptions used to
project future cash flows. We assessed the
reasonableness of future cash flows (premiums,
claims, expenses), and compared them to the
Group's past financial information.
We also assessed the adequacy of the information
disclosed in the consolidated annual accounts on
mathematical provisions, considering the
requirements of IFRS-EU.

Key audit matters
------------------- --

Key audit matters How the issue was addressed in our audit

Valuation of the provision for non-life insurance claims (Euros 10,088.98 million)

See notes 5.15 and 6.14 of the notes to the consolidated annual accounts.

Key audit matters How the issue was addressed in our audit
The Group recognises the provision for non-life
insurance claims to cover the estimated cost of
accidents occurring up to the closing date.
Estimating this provision is complex and requires
actuarial methods and calculations based on
judgement and significant assumptions, particularly
for those lines of business where the claim
settlement period can be very long, such as in
automobile, public liability, fires, aviation and
transport.
When valuing the claims provision, estimates are
used on a case-by-case basis, as well as actuarial
projection methods based on past information and
assumptions on their future evolution. These
estimates include assumptions related to the
amount of the expected settlement and claim
payment patterns, and due to their nature, there is a
significant degree of uncertainty, and a change in
assumptions could significantly impact the
consolidated annual accounts.
Our audit procedures included testing the design and
implementation of key controls established by the
Group for estimating provisions for claims, including
controls on the definition of key assumptions and on
the completeness and accuracy of the data bases
used when estimating these provisions.
Our substantive procedures in relation to the
provision for claims, which were carried out in
collaboration with our actuarial specialists and for a
representative sample of lines of business selected
based on our assessment of risks and their
significance, consisted primarily of the following:

Testing the completeness and accuracy of the
data bases used in the actuarial calculations.

Based on our knowledge and experience of the
sector, we assessed the reasonableness of the
actuarial models and the assumptions employed
in calculating the provision for claims, comparing
them to best actuarial practices, regulatory
requirements, market scenarios and historical
trends.

We estimated the provision for claims and,
based on our experience, determined a range for
assessing its reasonableness.
We also assessed the adequacy of the information
disclosed in the annual accounts on the provisions
for non-life insurance claims, considering the
requirements of IFRS-EU.

Valuation of goodwill and portfolio acquisition costs (Euros 2,846.05 million) See notes 5.1 and 6.1 of the notes to the consolidated annual accounts.

Valuation of financial instruments not quoted on active markets and recognized at fair value (Euros 5,510.14 thousand)

Accounting policy for the recognition of currency conversion differences on operations in Venezuela (Euros 832.85 million)

See note 2.4 to the consolidated annual accounts.

Key Audit Matter How the Matter was Addressed in Our Audit
The Group controls several subsidiaries with
operations in Venezuela. In recent years, it has
applied the accounting treatment provided for in IAS
29 to its operations in that country as it is considered
a hyperinflationary economy. In accordance with this
standard, the financial statements of its subsidiaries
in Venezuela are adjusted based on estimated
inflation for each year.
Our audit approach included:

An evaluation of the Group's considerations
regarding current regulations.

Based on an analysis of international financial
reporting standards, an evaluation of the
appropriateness of the accounting policy
adopted by the Group.

Accounting policy for the recognition of currency conversion differences on operations in Venezuela (Euros 832.85 million)

See note 2.4 to the consolidated annual accounts.

Key Audit Matter How the Matter was Addressed in Our Audit
In accordance with IAS 21, the Group translates the
adjusted financial statements of these subsidiaries
applying the year-end closing rate, which is closely
linked to the hyperinflation rate and tends to mitigate
the effects thereof to a large extent.
When Venezuela came to be considered a
hyperinflationary economy for international financial
reporting standard purposes, the Group adopted an
accounting policy that presents the effects of
hyperinflation through a reserve account, and the
effects of translation differences in the statement of
"Other Recognised Revenue and Expense", which is
also included in equity.
However, in 2017 the Group decided to modify its
accounting policy regarding the presentation of
translation differences, considering it to be more
relevant and reliable to present the effects of
hyperinflation and the effects of translation
differences arising on translation to Euros of the
adjusted financial statements of the Venezuelan
subsidiaries in the same reserve account, in
accordance with the provisions of IAS 8. This
change, which resulted in the restatement of
comparative figures, requires the use of significant
judgement by the Group when evaluating its greater
relevance and reliability. Consequently this is
considered a key audit matter in our audit.

Based on the historical information available and
our knowledge of the Group, an analysis of the
elements which, from our evaluation of the
Group, support the view that the new policy
offers more relevant and reliable information, in
accordance with the criteria set forth in IAS 8.

Verification, using tests of detail, of the
quantitative impact recognised in the
accompanying annual accounts and which arises
as a result of the modification of the accounting
policy.

An evaluation of whether the disclosures
included in the annual accounts regarding the
change in accounting policy comply with the
requirements of the applicable financial reporting
framework.

Other Information. Consolidated Directors' Report__________________________

Other information solely comprises the 2017 consolidated directors' report, the preparation of which is the responsibility of the Parent's Directors and which does not form an integral part of the consolidated annual accounts.

Our audit opinion on the consolidated annual accounts does not encompass the consolidated directors' report. Our responsibility regarding the information contained in the consolidated directors' report is defined in the legislation regulating the audit of accounts, which establishes two different levels for this information:

  • a) A specific level applicable to non-financial consolidated information, as well as certain information included in the Annual Report on the Corporate Governance (ARCG), as defined in article 35.2. b) of the Audit Law 22/2015, which consists of merely verifying that this information has been provided in the directors' report, or in the case of the non-financial information, in a separate report corresponding to the same year and to which reference is made in the directors' report and, if not, report on this matter.
  • b) A general level applicable to the rest of the information included in the consolidated directors' report, which consists of assessing and reporting on the consistency of this information with the consolidated annual accounts, based on knowledge of the Group obtained during the audit of the aforementioned accounts and without including any information other than that obtained as evidence during the audit. Also, assessing and reporting on whether the content and presentation of this part of the consolidated directors' report are in accordance with applicable legislation. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there are material misstatements, we are required to report them.

Based on the work carried out, as described in the preceding paragraphs, we have verified that the specific information mentioned in a) above has been provided in a separate report – the "Integrated Report MAPFRE S.A. 2017" – to which the consolidated directors' report makes express reference, that the information of the ARGC referred in this section is included in the directors´ report, and that the rest of the information contained in the consolidated directors' report is consistent with that disclosed in the consolidated annual accounts for 2017 and the content and presentation of the report are in accordance with applicable legislation.

Directors' and Audit and Compliance Committee's Responsibility for the Consolidated Annual Accounts ____________________________________________

The Parent's Directors are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated annual accounts in such a way that they give a true and fair view of the consolidated equity, consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance of the Group in accordance with IFRS-EU and other provisions of the financial reporting framework applicable to the Group in Spain, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated annual accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated annual accounts, the Parent's Directors are responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Parent's Audit and Compliance Committee is responsible for overseeing the preparation and presentation of the consolidated annual accounts.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Annual Accounts_

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated annual accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated annual accounts.

As part of an audit in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated annual accounts, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Parent's Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Parent's Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated annual accounts or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated annual accounts, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated annual accounts represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated annual accounts. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Parent regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Parent's Audit and Compliance Committee with a statement that we have complied with the applicable ethical requirements, including those regarding independence, and to communicate with them all matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated to the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Parent, we determine those that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated annual accounts of the current period and which are therefore the key audit matters.

We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT G)

1. GENERAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY AND ITS ACTIVITIES

MAPFRE S.A. (hereinafter the "controlling company") is a listed public limited company and parent of a number of controlled companies engaged in insurance in its various lines of business, both Life and Non-Life, finance, securities investment, and services.

MAPFRE S.A. is a subsidiary of CARTERA MAPFRE, S.L. Sociedad Unipersonal (hereinafter, CARTERA MAPFRE), fully controlled by Fundación MAPFRE.

The scope of activity of the controlling company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter "MAPFRE", "the Group" or "MAPFRE Group") includes the Spanish territory, European Economic Area countries, and other countries.

The controlling company was incorporated in Spain and has its registered office in Majadahonda (Madrid), Carretera de Pozuelo 52.

The MAPFRE Group activities are carried out through four business units: Insurance, Asistencia (assistance, services and specialty risks), Global Risks, and Reinsurance; three territorial areas: IBERIA, LATAM and INTERNATIONAL; and six regional areas: IBERIA (Spain and Portugal), BRAZIL, LATAM NORTH (Mexico, Dominican Republic, Panama, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras and Guatemala), LATAM SOUTH (Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay), NORTH AMERICA (United States, Puerto Rico and Canada), and EURASIA (Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific).

The Insurance Business Units are organized according to the regional areas of MAPFRE, which comprise the geographical units that plan, support and supervise all the insurance and service business units in the region.

In addition to the activity of the Business Units, there are also global corporate areas (Finance, Investment, Human Resources, Resources and Institutional Coordination, Business Support, Internal Audit, Strategy and M&A, General Counsel, and Business, Clients and Innovation), which have global responsibilities for all the Group's companies worldwide regarding the development, implementation, and monitoring of global, regional and local corporate policies.

The MAPFRE Group maintains its own distribution networks with offices in the countries in which it operates, which it combines with the use of other distribution channels. It also collaborates with mediatorsprofessional insurance distributors-who in their different positions (delegates, agents and brokers) play an important role in marketing operations and servicing insured parties.

The Group boosts its distribution capacity by signing distribution agreements-and bancassurance agreements in particular-with different companies.

The internal structure and distribution systems of the controlled companies are tailored to the characteristics of the markets in which they operate.

The individual and consolidated annual accounts were prepared by the Board of Directors on February 7, 2018 and are expected to be approved by the Annual General Meeting. Spanish regulations provide for the possibility of modifying the consolidated annual accounts if they are not approved by the aforementioned sovereign body.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

2.4. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CHANGES IN ESTIMATES AND ERRORS

The complexity in the accounting for Group operations in Venezuela, the mechanics of accounting for the hyperinflation present in its economy and the historic variation in its exchange rate, have led to important impacts on the Group's financial statements that have grown sharper in the last periods. In this context, in order to improve the true and fair view of the financial statements, in 2017 the Group carried out a change in

17

accounting policies that consists in recording in a Provisions account both the revaluation of non-monetary items and the currency conversion differences generated from the conversion to euros of the restated financial statements of subsidiaries in Venezuela, which were previously recorded in "Currency conversion differences", avoiding the separation of impacts from hyperinflation and foreign exchange depreciation.

The Group understands that with above mentioned change in accounting policies, in line with IAS 8, offers more reliable and relevant information about its operations in Venezuela. Further, and in line with the applicable regulations, the information in the previous year's consolidated annual accounts has been restated, reclassifying 832.85 and 786.68 million euros of "Currency conversion differences" to "Provisions" at December 31 and January 1 2016, respectively. The reclassification corresponding to January 1, 2016 is included as "Adjustments for changes in accounting criteria" in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. In said statement, "Other variations" of provisions includes both currency conversion differences as well as the effects of restatement from inflation for 2017 and 2016.

In the financial years 2017 and 2016, with the exception of the situation indicated in the previous paragraphs, there were no changes in accounting policies, estimates or significant errors that could have had an effect on the Group's financial position or results.

2.5. COMPARISON OF INFORMATION

Financial information by segment for the period ending December 31, 2017 is given in the consolidated annual accounts, in accordance with the adaptation reflected in Note 2.2 herein. In order for the information to be comparable, the information by segment reflected in the consolidated annual accounts from the previous year has been restated.

With the exception of the aforementioned amendments, there is nothing preventing the consolidated annual accounts of this reporting period from being compared with those of the previous period, and the consolidated annual accounts have been prepared in line with the international standards which, having been approved by the European Commission, were in force at the close of the year.

At the date when these annual accounts were prepared, the following applied:

  • The adoption of the EU-IFRS 15 "Ordinary revenues from contracts with clients", which will enter force for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, is not deemed to have any significant effect on the Group's financial situation and results.
  • In relation to EU-IFRS 16 "Leases", which will enter into force for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, a new study has been carried out to analyze the impact on the financial statements during its first year of implementation, based on the current market conditions and the terms and conditions of lease contracts currently in force. The main impacts will be:
  • An increase in assets and liabilities of approximately 620.64 million euros.
  • A decrease in operating expenses and an increase in financial expenses of 14.51 and 33.60 million euros, respectively. The amount of financial expenses will reduce gradually, applying financial criteria, during the estimated term of the contracts.
  • A fall of 11.16 million euros in the result for the period attributable to the controlling company. This amount will be offset entirely at the end of the estimated term of the contracts.

  • The Group is analyzing the impact of IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts", which is expected to be significant, and which will be applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, and which was approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), not yet been adopted by the European Union.

  • In relation to EU-IFRS 9 "Financial instruments", which is also expected to have a significant impact, and the modification of EU-IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts", which will apply to reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, the Group deems, by virtue of the provisions set out in this standard, that it is eligible for the temporary deferral approach approved for the insurance industry. Said temporary deferral can be applied until reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, on which date it is estimated that the new IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" will enter into force.
  • The Group shall adopt, upon its entry into force, all other applicable standards, amendments and interpretations. The initial application of such is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group's financial situation or result.

2.6. CHANGES IN THE CONSOLIDATION PERIMETER

The companies that were added to the consolidation perimeter in 2017 and 2016 are listed in Annex 1 along with their equity figures and results. Annex 1 also contains all the other changes to the consolidation perimeter.

In the 2017 financial year, mutual funds managed by Group companies in which the participation is greater than 30 percent were consolidated by global integration method. As they were consolidated in the previous period, the consolidated assets and liabilities would have been greater than 308.01 million euros, of which 218.33 million correspond to the "Available-for-sale portfolio"; 86.67 million to "Cash"; 3.01 to "Corporate and other receivables"; 304.19 to "Other financial liabilities" (Note 6.13) and 3.82 million to "Other debts".

The effects on the equity attributable to the controlling company as a result of changes in the last two financial years regarding the ownership of controlled companies that do not imply a loss of control have not been significant (these changes are described in Annex 1).

The result for the period arising from the loss of control in controlled companies is insignificant (these losses of control are described in Annex 1).

The overall effect on the Group's consolidated equity, financial position and results in 2017 and 2016 derived from other changes in the consolidation perimeter with respect to the preceding year is described in the relevant notes of the consolidated annual report.

2.7. ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

In the preparation of the consolidated annual accounts under EU-IFRS, the controlling company's Board of Directors has made judgments and estimates based on assumptions about the future and uncertainties that basically refer to:

  • The technical provisions (Note 6.14).
  • Impairment losses on certain assets (Notes 6.1, 6.2 and 6.4).

The English version is only a translation of the original in Spanish for information purposes. In case of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

  • The calculation of provisions for risks and expenses (Note 6.15).
  • The actuarial calculation of post-employment remuneration-related commitments and liabilities (Note $6.22$ ).
  • The useful life of intangible assets and of tangible fixed asset items (Notes 5.3 and 6.1).
  • The fair value of certain non-listed assets (Note 6.4).

The estimates and assumptions used are reviewed regularly and are based on past experience and other factors that may have been deemed more reasonable in each instance. If these reviews lead to changes in estimates in a given period, their effect shall be applied during that period and, as the case may be, in subsequent periods.

3. CONSOLIDATION

3.1. CONTROLLED COMPANIES, ASSOCIATED UNDERTAKINGS AND JOINT ARRANGEMENTS

The controlled companies, associated undertakings and joint arrangements included in the consolidation are listed, indicating the integration method, in the table of acquisitions of controlled companies attached as Annex 1 to the consolidated annual report.

Companies are configured as controlled companies when the controlling company holds power over the investee entity, has exposure or rights to variable returns, and has the capacity to influence those returns through the power exercised in the entities. Controlled companies are consolidated from the date when the Group acquires control, and are excluded from the consolidation on the date when it ceases to have such control.

In controlled companies where 50 percent or less of the economic rights are held, the classification as "controlled company" is based on the provisions set out in the shareholder agreements, which contemplate the following scenarios:

  • The administration of the companies is carried out by a Board of Directors, which is responsible for their operating and financial strategies as well as their administration and management, and for overseeing their financial and operating policies, among others. In these cases the Board of Directors is made up of an odd number of members and the chairman is always appointed at the recommendation of MAPFRE. The chairman has the casting vote, therefore exercising control over the company.
  • MAPFRE is granted the power to appoint and revoke the CEO, finance manager, actuarial manager, and any other key personnel for the management and control of the company.
  • The political rights established do not coincide with the economic rights, which means that MAPFRE has the majority of the voting rights in the General Assembly. Additionally, in these cases the Board of Directors is made up of an even number of members and in the event of a tie one of the directors appointed at the recommendation of MAPFRE has the casting vote.

Non-controlling acquisitions of controlled companies made since January 1, 2004 are recorded at the fair value of the percentage of purchased net assets identifiable at the acquisition date. Those acquisitions made before the transition date were recorded at the percentage of purchased net assets at the date of the first consolidation.

Non-controlling acquisitions are shown in consolidated equity separately form the equity attributable to the controlling company shareholders. Non-controlling acquisitions of controlled companies in the consolidated results for the period (and in the total consolidated overall result for the period) are also shown separately in the consolidated income statement (overall consolidated income statement).

Associated undertakings are companies in which the controlling company exercises a significant influence but which are neither controlled companies nor joint arrangements.

Significant influence is understood as the power to intervene in decisions on financial and operating policies of the investee company, but without controlling or jointly controlling these policies, presuming that there is significant influence when, either directly or indirectly through its controlled companies, at least 20 percent is owned, of the voting rights of the investee company.

Acquisitions of controlled companies in associated undertakings are consolidated by the equity method, including, in the value of interests, the net goodwill identified at the date of acquisition.

When the Group's participation in the losses of an associated undertaking is equal to or higher than the book value of its stake, including any unsecured receivable, the Group does not record additional losses, unless obligations have been incurred or payments have been made on behalf of the associated undertaking.

To determine if an investee company is controlled or associated, the purpose and design of the investee company have been taken into account to ascertain the relevant activities, the way that decisions are taken on these activities, who has the current capacity to direct these activities and who receives their financial returns. The potential voting rights held and exercisable as purchase options on shares, debt instruments convertible into shares or other instruments giving the controlling company the possibility to increase their voting rights have also been considered.

A joint arrangement is considered to exist when two or more entities undertake an economic activity subject to shared control regulated by means of contractual agreement.

A joint arrangement is classified as a joint venture when the parties have rights to the net assets, in which case their acquisitions are recorded in the consolidated annual accounts using the equity-accounted method.

A joint arrangement is classified as a joint operation when the parties have rights to the net assets and obligations for the liabilities, in which case their interests are recorded in the consolidated annual accounts using the proportionate consolidation method.

The financial statements of the controlled companies, associated undertakings and joint arrangements used for the consolidation correspond to the years ending December 31, 2017 and 2016.

3.2. CONVERSION OF ANNUAL ACCOUNTS OF FOREIGN COMPANIES INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLIDATION

The functional and presentation currency of the MAPFRE Group is the euro. Accordingly, the balances and operations of Group companies with a different functional currency are translated into euros using the closing exchange rate for balance sheet balances at the average exchange rate weighted for the volume of operations, for transactions.

The exchange differences resulting from applying this procedure, as well as those arising from the conversion of loans and other foreign currency instruments covering investments in foreign activities, are presented as a separate component in the "Statement of Recognized Revenues and Expenses" and are shown under equity in the "Currency conversion differences" account, deducting the part of the difference that corresponds to non-controlling acquisitions of controlled companies.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments of assets and liabilities arising from the acquisition of Group companies whose presentation currency is not the euro are treated as assets and liabilities of overseas activities. As such, they are stated in the functional currency of the overseas undertaking and translated at the closing exchange rate.

The financial statements of the companies registered in countries with a high inflation rate or hyperinflationary economies are adjusted or restated for the effects of changes in prices before their conversion into euros. Adjustments for inflation are performed in line with IAS 29 "Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies".

For the years 2017 and 2016 Venezuela was the only country treated as having a hyperinflationary economy. The functional currency of the Group companies operating in this country is the Venezuelan bolivar (VEF).

Although there are various official exchange rates in the country, none fluctuate freely, and as such they do not reflect the currency's loss of value deriving from the country's hyperinflation.

As a result, and given the lack of a reliable official index, at the close of both 2016 and 2017 it was deemed necessary to estimate an exchange rate that takes into account real inflation in the country, and reflects more accurately the integration of the Venezuelan subsidiaries' financial statements in the preparation of the MAPFRE Group consolidated accounts, in order to meet the requirement for a true and fair view of their situation.

The Group believes that the exchange rate that best reflects the financial position of the Venezuelan companies should be based on updating the last reliable exchange rate, taking as a reference for the mentioned update the inflation reported in the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) variation, which is the ratio of prices with respect to a Venezuelan basket over a global basket, which implies estimating an inflation variant but without using local consumption prices exclusively, and using information produced by a renowned international institution for this purpose. The inflation applied in 2017 was estimated at 835 percent, with 2016 having been re-estimated in line with what the IMF published during the year.

To this effect, the exchange rate on which the successive exchange rates have been calculated, is the rate used in the 2016 annual accounts, which was based on the SIMADI's inflation update from when it appeared (February 2015), which amounted to 176.60 USD/VEF. The interest rates obtained this way, which have been used to convert the balances and operation of the Group companies operating in Venezuela, are the following:

Exchange rate at the close of the period
Year USD/VEF EUR/VEF
2015 425.8 463.6
2016 3,598.3 3,787.2
2017 14,460.1 17,355.0

In the consolidated income statement, the loss arising from the net monetary position is shown under a separate heading, amounting to 24.50 and 39.98 million euros in 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Adjustments to the opening balance

The adjustments to opening balance columns in the different tables of the consolidated annual report include the variations that occurred as result of applying a different conversion exchange rate to the figures for overseas subsidiaries.

The variations in the technical provisions shown in the consolidated income statement differ from those obtained due to the discrepancy in the consolidated balance sheets for this year and the previous year. This is owing to the use of a different conversion exchange rate for the overseas subsidiaries.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE AND DIVIDENDS

4.1. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The calculation of the basic earnings per share-which matches the diluted gains per share, since there is no ordinary potential share-is shown below:

Item 2017 2016
Net profit attributable to controlling company's shareholders

700.51
3,079.55
775.45
3.079.55
Basic earnings per share (euros) 0.23 0.25

4.2. DIVIDENDS

The breakdown of the dividends paid by the controlling company in the last two years is shown below:

Item Total dividend

The total dividend for 2017 was proposed by the Board of Directors and is pending approval by the Ordinary Annual General Meeting.

The planned dividend payout complies with the requirements and limitations that are set out in the legal regulations and the corporate bylaws.

In 2017 the controlling company distributed an interim dividend equivalent to a total amount of 184,773,196.38 euros, which is recorded in equity under the heading "Interim dividend". The liquidity statement prepared by the Board of Directors for the distribution is shown below.

5. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied to the following entries are indicated below:

5.1. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The English version is only a translation of the original in Spanish for information purposes. In case of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

GOODWILL

Goodwill on merger

This represents the excess of cost paid on a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of the merger.

Consolidation differences

Goodwill on consolidation

This represents the excess net acquisition costs paid over the fair value of the acquisition in the equity of the controlled company at the date of acquisition, except for acquisitions realized before January 1, 2004, which correspond to goodwill net of amortization recorded in line with Spanish legislation in force at the time. In the case of acquisitions of stakes in the controlled company from non-controlling shareholders subsequent to the initial one, the controlling company recognizes this excess as a lower amount of reserves.

Negative consolidation difference

Where the value of the identifiable assets acquired less the value of assumed liabilities is higher than the acquisition cost, this difference is recorded as revenue in the consolidated income statement.

Goodwill impairment

After its initial recognition and allocation to a cash-generating unit, its possible loss in value is assessed at least once a year. When the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is below the net book value, the loss in value is recognized immediately in the consolidated income statement.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Other intangible assets from an independent acquisition

The intangible assets acquired by third parties in a market transaction are valuated at cost. If their useful life is finite, they are amortized and, if their useful life is indefinite, the value impairment tests are undertaken at least once a year.

Internally-generated intangible assets

Investigation expenses are directly recognized on the consolidated income statement for the year in which they are incurred. Development expenses are recorded as an asset when their probability, feasibility and future recoverability can be reasonably ensured. They are valued by the disbursements made.

The capitalized development expenses are amortized during the period in which revenues or yields are to be obtained without prejudice to the valuation that would be made if impairment occurs.

Amortization of limited useful life intangible assets

Portfolio acquisition costs

These costs are amortized over the life of the portfolios, in a maximum period of 30 years, and depending on their maintenance.

Other intangible assets

These are amortizated based on their limited useful life following a linear method. The amortization has been recorded in the "Amortization allowances" expense account.

5.2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The controlling company identifies a business combination when the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in a transaction constitute a business. The combinations are recorded by applying the acquisition method.

On the acquisition date, which is when control of the acquired business or company is obtained, the acquirer separately recognizes the goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree.

Goodwill represents the excess of cost, including deferred payments, whether certain or contingent, on the net amount on the date of acquisition of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. In line with the provisions under EU-IFRS 3, the Group has chosen not to increase goodwill in part corresponding to external partners.

Initially, the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. Any acquisition-related costs incurred by the acquirer are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, except in the case of any costs incurred in issuing debt or shares.

Subsequently, the acquiring company measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and equity instruments issued in the business combination in line with the valuation rules applied to those items, according to their nature.

In business combinations carried out in stages, on the date on which control of the acquisition is obtained, the controlling company once again measures its previously held acquisitions in the acquiree's equity at their acquisition-date fair value and recognizes any resulting gain or loss in the consolidated income statement. Likewise, any revaluation adjustments pending allocation to the result for the period are transferred to the consolidated income statement.

When the necessary valuation process to apply the acquisition method may not be concluded on the closing date of the fiscal year, annual accounts are prepared with provisional data. These values are adjusted within the necessary period to complete the initial accounting, this period never exceeding one year from the date of acquisition.

When the business combinations have been recognized in the accounts, any modifications to contingent payments are recorded for combinations undertaken on or after January 1, 2010, in the consolidated income statement; combinations undertaken earlier are recorded as a change in the business combination cost.

5.3. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Property, plant and equipment and real estate investment are valued at their net acquisition cost minus their accumulated amortization and, if applicable, accumulated losses due to impairment.

Investments classified as real estate investments are those non-current real estate assets intended to obtain rental income, gains or both.

Costs incurred after their acquisition are recognized as an asset only when the future financial profits related to them are likely to revert to the Group and the cost of the item may be accurately determined. All other expenses associated with maintenance and repair are charged to the consolidated income statement during the year in which they are incurred.

The depreciation of these elements is calculated linearly based on the cost of acquisition of the asset, less its residual value and the value of the land according the following periods of useful life:

ITEM GROUP YEARS ANNUAL RATIO
Buildings and other structures $50 - 25$ 2%-4%
Vehicles 6.25 16%
Furniture 10 10%
Fittings $20 - 10$ 5%-10%
Data processing equipment 4 25%

The residual value and the useful life of assets are reviewed and adjusted if necessary at the close of each year.

These assets are written off in the accounts when they are transferred or future economic profit derived from their continuous use is not expected to be obtained. The gains or losses resulting from writing the aforementioned elements off are included on the consolidated income statement.

5.4. LEASING

Finance lease

Leases transferring to the lessee all the risks and profits inherent to the ownership of the leased asset are classified as finance leases. The lessee records the leased asset in its assets at fair value or at the current value of the minimum payments under the lease if this figure is lower, and this depreciates during the useful life of the leased asset.

Each lease payment is distributed between the liabilities and financial charges in order to arrive at a constant interest rate on the outstanding balance of the debt.

The financial costs are recorded in the consolidated income statement.

Operational Leasing

Leases in which the lessor maintains an important part of the risks and advantages derived from ownership are classified as operational leasing. Payments, net of any incentive received from the lessor, are charged to the consolidated income statement on a linear basis during the leasing period.

5.5. FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS

Recognition

Financial assets traded on secondary securities markets are generally recognized on the settlement date.

Classification

Financial investments are classified in the following portfolios:

Held-to-maturity portfolio

This includes the securities for which there is the intention and proven financial capacity to hold them until their maturity.

Available-for-sale portfolio

This includes debt securities not labeled in other portfolios and the capital instruments of companies that are not controlled, associated or joint arrangements and that are not included in the "Trading portfolio".

Trading portfolio

This includes financial assets originating or acquired with the objective of selling them in the short term, that are part of a portfolio of financial instruments identified and managed together for which there is proof of recent actions to obtain gains in the short term.

Derivative instruments not assigned to a hedging operation and hybrid financial assets completely valued at their fair value are also part of this portfolio.

In hybrid financial assets that include, at the same time, a main contract and a financial derivative, both components are separated and treated independently for the purpose of classifying and valuing them. When this separation is not possible, they are valued at their fair value.

Valuation

The English version is only a translation of the original in Spanish for information purposes. In case of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

In their initial recognition on the balance sheet, all financial investments are recognized at the fair value of the provided remuneration plus, in the case of financial investments not classified in the "trading portfolio", the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Fair value is the price that would be received for the sale of a financial asset through a transaction ordered between market participants on the date of valuation.

Subsequently, financial investments are measured at their fair value without deducting any transaction cost that may be incurred due to their sale or any form of disposition, with the following exceptions:

  • Financial investments included in the "held-to-maturity portfolio", which are measured at their $a)$ amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
  • Financial assets that are capital instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably estimated, as well as $b)$ derivatives with an asset supporting these instruments and that are settled by providing them and that are measured at cost.

The fair value of financial investments, included in the available-for-sale portfolio and the trading portfolio are classified according to the levels of the variables used in their valuation:

  • Level 1. Quoted price: Unadjusted price quoted in active markets
  • Level 2. Observable data: Prices quoted in active markets for instruments similar to the one being valued or other valuation techniques in which all the significant variables are based on observable market data. The valuation is made via a model that discounts future financial flows, including the reimbursement value, using a rate curve with two main components:
  • Zero coupon swap curve of the currency of the issuance, which is considered to be the best approximation to the risk-free interest rate.
  • Spread of the additional risk, which will be the spread added to or subtracted from the zero coupon swap curve that reflects the risks inherent to the issuance valued, such as credit, liquidity or optionality risk.
  • Level 3. Other valuations: Variables specific to each case. For these purposes, it is possible to distinguish between:
  • Equity assets, where in general the sale value is estimated according to the individual characteristics of the asset.
  • Fixed-income assets with complex future flow structures (interest rates linked to financial variables, with caps and/or floors) and one or more early redemptions, and in which the issuer has no similar issuances on the market or any unquoted issuances from an issuer with no similar issuances. In these cases, the assets are usually valued by requesting a valuation from a benchmark third party.

Changes in the observable variables used in the aforementioned individual valuation would not significantly alter the fair value obtained.

Impairment

The book value of financial investments is corrected via a charge to the consolidated income statement when there is objective evidence that an event which entails a negative impact on its future cash flows has occurred or in any other circumstance that would indicate the inability to recover the investment cost of the financial instrument. The amount of losses due to impairment is equal to the difference between its book value and the current value of its future estimated cash flows.

For fixed-income securities in which there is a defaulted interest and/or principal, the potential loss is estimated according to the situation of the issuer. For all other fixed-income securities, an analysis is undertaken based on their credit quality and the degree of solvency of the issues, proceeding to record the impairment if the risk of non-payment is considered to be likely.

For equity instruments, an individual analysis of the investments is undertaken to determine whether or not they are impaired. Furthermore, it is considered that there is a sign of impairment when the market value decreases for a long time (18 months) or significantly (40 percent) in terms of its cost.

The amount of estimated losses due to impairment is recognized on the consolidated income statement, also including any reduction of the fair value of the investments previously recognized in "Revaluation adjustments". The reversal is recognized in the consolidated income statement, except for in the case of equity instruments. In this case, the valuation adjustment recorded in prior years is not recognized in the income statement, but rather any increase in value is taken directly to equity.

For financial swaps of flow exchanges, the amounts accrued for main operations are recognized, posting the resulting amount of the flows under the headings "Other financial liabilities" or "Corporate and other receivables" as applicable.

5.6. INVESTMENTS ON BEHALF OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICYHOLDERS BEARING THE INVESTMENT RISK

These are made in fixed-income securities, equities and mutual funds which are measured at the acquisition cost when they are underwritten or purchased. The acquisition cost is adjusted as greater or lower value of the investment, as applicable, according to its fair value at the close of the period, determined as follows:

  • Equities: at their quoted cost (Level 1).
  • Fixed-income securities: at the quoted price if this is representative (Level 1); if this is not the case, by restating the future flows, including the redemption value (Level 2).
  • Mutual funds holdings: at their net asset value (Level 1).

Revaluations and depreciations of these assets are recorded as revenues or expenses in the consolidated income statement corresponding to the segment of the insurance unit.

5.7. IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER ASSETS

At the close of each financial year the Group assesses whether there are any signs that the asset items may have suffered a loss in value. If there are such signs, the recoverable value of the asset is estimated.

$30^{\circ}$

For assets that are not in a fit state of repair and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, the recoverable value is estimated whether or not there are signs of impairment.

If the book value exceeds the recoverable amount, a loss is recognized for this excess, reducing the book value of the asset to its recoverable amount.

If there is an increase of the recoverable value of an asset other than the goodwill, the loss due to the previously recognized impairment is reversed, increasing the book value of the asset to its recoverable value. This increase never exceeds the net amortization book value that would have been recorded if an impairment loss had not been recognized in previous years. The reversal is recognized in the consolidated income statement, unless the asset has already been revalued against "Revaluation adjustments", in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After this reversal, the amortization cost is adjusted in the following periods.

5.8. INVENTORIES

Inventories, which include mainly parcels of land, are recognized at the lower of their net acquisition cost and their net realizable value.

5.9. RECEIVABLES

These assets are generally valued using the amortized cost, calculated according to the effective interest rate method, deducting, if applicable, the provisions for losses due to noted impairment of the value.

For receivables with a maturity exceeding one year and where the parties have not expressly agreed on the applicable interest, the receivables are discounted by taking, as the implicit financial interest, the current market interest rate for public debt securities with the same or similar maturity as the receivables, without prejudice to taking into account the relevant risk premium.

When there is objective evidence that a loss was incurred due to impairment, the corresponding provision is constituted for the amount estimated not to be recoverable. This amount is equivalent to the difference between the book value of the asset and the current value of the future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial asset, and the loss is recognized on the year's consolidated income statement.

The impairment loss corresponding to premiums pending collection is calculated separately for each line or risk, is presented in the consolidated income statement as a lower amount of written premiums, and consists of the part of the insurance premium accrued in the period which, based on past experience, is unlikely to be collected, taking into account the impact of reinsurance.

The impairment is recognized in the consolidated income statement as an overall amount according to the age of the receipts pending collection, or on an individual basis where dictated by the circumstances and status of receipts.

Receivables for claim recoveries are only capitalized when their realization is considered as certain.

5.10. CASH

The English version is only a translation of the original in Spanish for information purposes. In case of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

Cash consists of cash (cash in hand and bank deposits) and cash equivalents, which correspond to highly liquid short-term investments (maximum three months) that can be easily converted into fixed amounts of cash and have an insignificant risk of change in value.

5.11. ACCRUAL ADJUSTMENTS

Under this heading of the asset, what is basically included are commissions and other acquisition expenses corresponding to the accrued premiums that can be allocated to the period between the close date and the end of coverage of the contracts. The expenses are allocated to the results actually incurred in the period in accordance with the limit stipulated in the technical conditions.

At the same time, under this liability heading, commissions and other acquisition expenses for the ceded reinsurance that have to be allocated to the year or following years in accordance with the coverage period of the ceded policies are included.

5.12. NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND ASSOCIATED LIABILITIES

These are generally valued, if applicable, at the lower amount between their book value and fair value, deducting sale costs. These costs are understood as marginal costs directly attributable to the disposal, excluding, if applicable, financial costs and tax on profit expenses.

Non-current assets classified as held-for-sale are not amortized and losses due to the impairment of their book value are recognized in the consolidated income statement. Likewise, if a recovery of the value occurs this is recognized in the consolidated income statement up to an amount equal to the impairment loss previously recognized.

5.13. TREASURY STOCK

Treasury stock is measured at cost of acquisition and recognized in equity. Expenses incurred on acquisition are recognized in equity as a decrease in the value of reserves.

All transactions performed with treasury stock are recognized in equity as a change in the value of shareholders' equity.

5.14. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES AND SUBORDINATED LIABILITIES

Financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading.

In their initial recognition, these are recorded at the gross amount received, allocating transaction costs directly to results. Subsequently, they are recorded at fair value, allocating changes to the income statement.

Other financial liabilities.

In their initial recognition on the balance sheet, these are recorded at fair value, which is the net amount received, deducting transaction costs which are directly attributed to the issuance of the financial liability,

like commissions, formalization costs, taxes, fees, etc.... Subsequently, these liabilities are measured at their amortized cost, applying the effective interest rate for financial liabilities.

5.15. INSURANCE OPERATIONS

A) PREMIUMS

Direct insurance

Premiums from the Non-Life business and Life annual renewable contracts are recognized as revenues throughout the validity of the contracts, in accordance with the period of time elapsed, and accrued by means of the allowance to the provision for unearned premiums.

Premiums from the long-term Life business, whether single premiums or regular premiums, are recognized when the right to collection by the contract issuer arises.

Ceded reinsurance

These are recorded in accordance with written reinsurance contracts and under the same criteria as those used for direct insurance.

Accepted and retroceded reinsurance

These are posted based on the accounts received from the ceding companies and additionally, in retroceded reinsurance operations, signed retrocession contracts are considered.

Co-insurance

These are recorded in line with the accounts received from the opening company and the participation in contracts underwritten.

B) TECHNICAL PROVISIONS

The main assumptions and methods used to establish the provisions are described below.

Direct insurance of companies belonging to the European Economic Area $a)$

Provision for unearned premiums

This is calculated on a policy-by-policy basis and reflects the insurance premium accrued during the period subject to allocation to future periods, less the security surcharge.

Provision for unexpired risks

This is calculated on an individual business line basis and supplements the provision for unearned premiums for the amount not showing the valuation of risks and expenses to be covered, corresponding to the coverage period not elapsed at the closing date.

For the Automobile line, this provision has been calculated taking into account all the guarantees covered with the products marketed by the different companies.

Provisions for Life insurance

In Life insurance policies with a coverage period equal to or less than one year, the provision for unearned premiums is calculated on a policy-by-policy basis and reflects the insurance premium accrued in the period subject to allocation to future periods.

When this provision is not sufficient, the provision for unexpired risks is calculated to cover the valuation of risks and expenses to be covered, corresponding to the coverage period not elapsed at the closing date for the financial year.

In Life insurance policies with a coverage period exceeding one year, the mathematical provision has been calculated on a policy-by-policy basis as the difference between the current actuarial value of the future obligations of the controlled companies operating in this line, and those of the policyholder or insured person. The calculation basis is the inventory premium accrued in the period, represented by the pure premium plus the surcharge for administration expenses, both determined using the best estimates for mortality, illness, investment yields and administration expenses when the contracts are issued, as specified in the technical conditions of the relevant products and schemes and remaining unchanged throughout the life of the contract unless their inadequacy becomes evident, in which case the calculation of the mathematical provision would be changed.

Written policies that contain a profit sharing clause in force at the close of each period share, pro rata to their mathematical provisions or technical results and as specifically laid down in each contract, in the net yields obtained from the investments allocated to covering these provisions. The amount resulting from this profit sharing is recorded as a greater amount than the technical provisions.

This consolidated balance sheet heading also includes the provision for profit sharing and for premium returns, which includes the amount of profits accrued in favor of policyholders, insured persons or beneficiaries and the premiums that must be reimbursed to policyholders or insured persons.

Provision for outstanding claims

This represents the estimated appraisals of the pending liabilities arising from the claims occurring prior to the close of the period, less any advance payments already made. It includes the appraisals of claims pending settlement or payment and yet to be stated, as well as the internal and external expenses involved in the settlement of claims; in the Life insurance business, it also includes maturities and redemptions pending payment. The calculations take into account any additional provisions for deviations in the appraisals of claims subject to long handling periods.

Other technical provisions

The most significant provision included under this heading is the "Funeral Insurance Provision", which is calculated on a policy-by-policy basis as the difference between the current actuarial value of future obligations of the controlled companies operating in this line and those of the policyholder or insured person.

For certain portfolios, the Funeral insurance provision is calculated using methods based on Group capitalization, with a financial-actuarial restatement being made of projected flows of premiums and expected claims up to the expiration of the collective insurance.

Technical provisions for life insurance where policyholders bear the investment risk

The provisions for Life insurance where the contract stipulates that the investment risk will be fully borne by the policyholder have been calculated on a policy-by-policy basis and are measured according to the assets specifically allocated to determine the value of the rights.

Direct insurance of companies outside the European Economic Area $\mathbf{b}$

Technical provisions are calculated in line with the local criteria in force in each country, except in the cases when their application could distort the true and fair image that must be shown in the financial statements, in which case they are adapted to the controlling company's criteria.

Life insurance provisions have been calculated in line with the operational assumptions, mortality tables and technical interest rate commonly used in the industry in the respective countries.

Ceded reinsurance $\mathbf{c}$

Technical provisions for cessions to reinsurers are shown in the balance sheet assets and are calculated according to the written reinsurance agreements and under the same criteria as those used for direct insurance.

Accepted reinsurance $\mathbf{d}$

Provision for unearned premiums

Accepted reinsurance operations are posted based on the accounts received from the ceding companies. If, when closing the accounting, the last account from the cedant is not available, the balance of the other received accounts is considered a provision for unearned premiums of nonclosed accounts for the purpose of not recognizing earnings in the accounting of these accounts. If, exceptionally, these provisions of non-closed accounts were negatively affected by the accounting of significant payments for claims since it is a certain loss with the unlikelihood of compensation for non-closed account transactions, the provision is adjusted by the corresponding amount.

For proportional reinsurance, when the last statement and report of pending claims are available, the provisions of non-closed accounts are canceled, providing the provisions for unearned premiums according to the information sent by the cedant, repaying contract by contract. If they are not

available, the amount of the deposit of premiums withheld for this item will be posted as the provision for unearned premiums. Ultimately, an overall premium prepayment method is used.

The acquisition expenses communicated by the ceding companies are accrued and included in the consolidated balance sheet under the heading "Adjustment for prepayment" of the asset, with these expenses corresponding to those actually incurred in the period. When the cedants do not communicate the acquisition expense amounts, they are accrued risk by risk for the facultative proportional reinsurance and overall for the rest of the proportional business.

Non-proportional reinsurance operations are recorded based on the accounts received from the ceding companies and the provision for unearned premiums is accepted by provisioning the recorded unearned premium according to the average period of policy coverage.

Provision for unexpired risks

This is calculated on an individual business line basis and supplements the provision for unearned premiums for the amount not showing the valuation of risks and expenses to be covered corresponding to the coverage period not elapsed at the closing date.

Provision for outstanding claims

Provisions for outstanding claims are provided for the amounts communicated by the cedant or, in the lack thereof, for the withheld deposits, and include additional provisions for claims that were incurred but not reported (IBNR) as well as for deviations of the existing ones based on own experience.

For non-proportional reinsurance, considering the historic information available, the final cost is estimated and provisioned based on experience and through the use of actuarial methods.

Retroceded reinsurance $e)$

Retroceded reinsurance operations and their corresponding technical provisions are recorded using the same criteria as those used for accepted reinsurance and according to the signed retrocession contracts.

Liability adequacy test f)

The recorded technical provisions are usually subject to a reasonability test for the purpose of determining their adequacy on the basis of projections of all future cash flows of current contracts. If the result of this test indicates the inadequacy of the provisions, they are adjusted and charged to the results for the period.

Shadow accounting g)

In order to mitigate the accounting asymmetries arising from applying different valuation methods for assets and liabilities, and to reflect the effect of sharing in the profits of the insured, EU-IFRS allow "shadow accounting", which means that losses or gains in the allocated assets are recognized when measuring technical provisions, up to the limit of the amounts assumed by the policyholder. 36

C) OTHER ASSETS AND LIABILITIES DERIVED FROM INSURANCE AND REINSURANCE CONTRACTS

Deposit components in insurance contracts a)

Some Life insurance contracts contain both an insurance component and a deposit component. The two components are not measured separately because all the rights and obligations arising from the deposit component are recognized.

b) Embedded derivatives in insurance contracts

Some Life insurance contracts contain embedded derivatives, essentially consisting of guaranteed redemption values and maturity values. Embedded derivatives are not measured separately from the main insurance contract because they fulfill the conditions to be classified as insurance contracts, and their embedded value is therefore measured jointly with the main contract, pursuant to EU-IFRS $\overline{4}$ .

Insurance contracts acquired in business combinations or portfolio transfers c)

Insurance contracts acquired in business combinations or portfolio transfers are recognized on the balance sheet as follows:

  • C.1) The liabilities arising from the insurance contracts are recorded pursuant to EU-IFRS 4.
  • C.2) An intangible asset is recorded, representing the difference between:
  • The fair value of the rights acquired and all the other assumed contractual obligations, and
  • The amount described in Section C.1) above.

This intangible asset is amortized in accordance with the policies in force at the time of the purchase and the future generation of profits from them.

D) AGRICULTURAL CO-INSURANCE IN SPAIN

Earned premiums, provisions for unearned premiums, claims paid, provisions for claims and commissions are recorded according to the participation in the pool, according to the type of business, with the following specifications:

  • D.1) Earned premiums: net of cancelations
  • D.2) Claims paid: net of the part subject to allocation to the Insurance Compensation Consortium due to a higher than expected loss ratio

D.3) Commissions: stated in the consolidated income statement under the heading "Acquisition expenses", less the accrued amount at the close of the period. Commissions arising from the participation in the pool are recorded under the heading "Other technical revenue", less the commissions paid to mediators. The heading "Other technical expenses" includes the expenses directly related to this production.

E) LOSS RATIO

The estimated cost of claims, related to the Life and Non-Life business, is recognized on the date of their occurrence and includes all necessary expenses to be incurred up to the settlement of the claim.

The best estimate of the cost of claims that occur but are not reported prior to the end of each financial period, based on past experience, are reported through the incurred but not reported claims provision $(IBNR)$ .

Payments of claims are made against the previously recognized provision.

Claims corresponding to accepted reinsurance are recorded in line with the accounts received from the ceding companies, estimating the final expected cost in the case of proportional reinsurance. In the case of ceded and retroceded reinsurance, they are recorded according to the signed reinsurance contracts and under the same criteria used for the direct insurance and accepted reinsurance, respectively.

F) MOST SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS AND OTHER SOURCES FOR ESTIMATING UNCERTAINTIES

For assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses derived from insurance contracts, as a general rule, the assumptions used are those that were made when issuing these contracts, as specified in the technical conditions.

In general, the estimates and assumptions used are reviewed regularly and are based on past experience and other factors that might have been deemed more reasonable. If these reviews lead to changes in estimates in a given period, their effect shall be applied during that period and, as the case may be, in subsequent periods.

The main assumption is based on the behavior and development of the claims, using their frequency and costs in recent years. Likewise, delays in paying claims and any other external factors that could affect the estimates are taken into account in the estimates and assumptions about interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

For liabilities, assumptions are based on the best possible estimate when issuing the contracts, and if an insufficiency became evident, the provisions required to cover it would be constituted.

There were no significant changes made to the assumptions used to value the liabilities derived from insurance contracts throughout the year.

G) IMPAIRMENT

When there is objective evidence that a loss was incurred due to impairment of the assets derived from insurance and reinsurance contracts, the general valuation criterion indicated in Note 5.9. Receivables is applied.

5.16. PROVISIONS FOR RISKS AND EXPENSES

These are recognized when there is a current obligation (whether legal or implicit) as a result of a past event and a reliable estimate of the obligation amount can be made.

If it is highly likely that part or all of a provision will be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset.

5.17. DEBT

Valuations are generally carried out at the amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

For debts with a maturity exceeding one year and when the parties have not expressly agreed on the applicable interest, they are discounted by taking, as the implicit financial interest, the interest in force in the market for public debt securities with the same or similar term as the maturity of the debts, without prejudice to taking into account the relevant risk premium.

5.18. GENERAL CRITERION FOR REVENUES AND EXPENSES

The revenues and expenses apart from those related to insurance operations are allocated according to the accrual criterion, based on the actual flow of goods and services represented by them, irrespectively of the date of the monetary or financial flow arising from them.

5.19 REMUNERATION FOR EMPLOYEES

Remuneration for employees may be short-term, post-employment benefits, compensation for termination, other medium and long-term remuneration, and share-based payments.

a) Short-term remunerations

These are posted according to the services provided by employees on an accrual basis.

b) Post-employment benefits

These essentially consist of defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans, as well as life insurance covering death between age 65 and 77.

Defined contribution plans

These are plans in which the company in question makes pre-determined contributions to a separate company (whether linked to the Group or external) and has no legal or implicit obligation to make any additional contributions in the event of an insufficiency of assets to honor the payment of benefits. The amount of benefits to be received by employees is determined by the contributions made plus the yield obtained by the investments in which the fund was materialized.

Defined benefit plans

These are post-employment benefit plans that differ from the defined contribution plans.

The liability recognized on the balance sheet for defined benefit pension plans is equal to the actual value of the obligation for benefits defined on the balance sheet date less, where applicable, the fair value of the assets set aside for the plan.

The obligation for defined benefits is determined separately for each plan using the actuarial valuation method of the projected credit unit.

Actuarial gains and losses are recorded in equity accounts.

All the obligations for defined benefit plans that remain on the balance sheet correspond to retired personnel.

c) Compensation for termination

This is recognized as a liability and expense when there is a notable agreement to rescind the work relationship before the normal date of employee retirement or when there is an offer to encourage voluntary rescission of the contracts.

d) Other medium and long-term remunerations and share-based payments

Other long-term remunerations besides those described in the preceding paragraphs and referring specifically to the award for years of service or time with the company are recorded in line with the aforementioned principles; the only exceptions are the cost of past services, which is recognized immediately and recorded as an offsetting entry under the heading "Provisions for risks and expenses", and actuarial gains and losses which are recorded on the consolidated income statement.

Incentive plans

In 2016 a medium-term incentive plan was approved for certain members of the MAPFRE executive team. The plan is extraordinary, non-cumulative and multi-year, commencing January 1, 2017 and ending March 31, 2019, with payment of part of the incentives deferred to the period 2020-2022. The payment of incentives is dependent on fulfilling certain corporate and specific objectives, as well as remaining in the Group's employment. The incentives will be paid partly in cash (50 percent) and partly in MAPFRE S.A. shares (50 percent), and payment is subject to clauses of reduction (malus) or recovery (clawback).

At the close of each year, the fulfillment of objectives will be evaluated and the amount accrued will be recorded in the consolidated income statement under a liability account for the part of the remuneration paid in cash and under an equity account for the part corresponding to equity instruments. The valuation of the part of the incentive paid in MAPFRE S.A. shares takes into account the fair value of the equity instruments assigned at the transfer date, based on the terms and conditions of the plan.

Each year, during the vesting period, the number of equity instruments included in the calculation of the transaction amount is adjusted. No additional adjustments are made after the vesting date.

  • Prior to this, there was a medium-term incentives plan for certain members of the Group's executive team. The plan was extraordinary, non-cumulative and multi-year, spanning from January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2016, and was settled at the close of the 2016 financial year.
  • In 2007, The Group approved an incentives plan referenced to the value of MAPFRE S.A. stock, that was settled in cash and revocable, and that was valued at the initial moment of its implementation using an option-valuation method. At the close of 2016 the share quote was below the benchmark quote for this plan, with the result that no rights were exercised and the plan expired.

5.20. REVENUES AND EXPENSES FROM INVESTMENTS

These are classified either as operating or equity depending on their origin since they are assigned to cover technical provisions or materialize shareholders' equity, respectively.

Changes in fair value are recorded according to the portfolio in which financial investments are classified:

Trading portfolio $a)$

Recorded directly in the consolidated income statement distinguishing between the part attributable to yields, which are recognized as interest or, if applicable, as dividends, and the part that is recorded as realized and unrealized results.

Held-to-maturity portfolio $b)$

Recorded when the financial instrument is disposed of and in case of impairment.

Available-for-sale portfolio $\mathbf{c}$

Recognized directly in the company's equity until it is written off or impairment is perceived, at which time they are recorded in the consolidated income statement.

In all cases, the interest of financial instruments is recorded on the consolidated income statement by applying the effective interest rate method.

RECLASSIFICATION OF EXPENSES BY DESTINATION AND ALLOCATION TO ACTIVITY SEGMENTS $5.21.$

The criteria to follow for reclassifying expenses by destination are mainly based on the position held by each of the employees, distributing their direct and indirect cost according to this position.

41

For expenses directly or indirectly related to personnel, individual studies are undertaken, allocating them to the destination according to the position held for these expenses.

The established destinations are as follows:

  • Claims-related expenses
  • Expenses allocated to investments
  • Other technical expenses
  • Other non-technical expenses
  • Acquisition expenses
  • Administration expenses
  • Operating expenses from other activities

Expenses have been allocated to the different segments, according to the business unit or regional area in which the activity originated:

5.22. TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES IN FOREIGN CURRENCY

With the exception of reinsurance activities, transactions in foreign currencies are translated into each Group company's functional currency at the exchange rate in force on the transaction date.

Reinsurance operations in foreign currency are recorded at the exchange rate established at the beginning of each quarter of the year. Subsequently, at the end of each quarter, they are all treated as one operation, being converted at the exchange rate in force at the time and recording the resulting difference on the consolidated income statement.

At year end, the existing balances in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate of the functional currency prevailing on that date, and all exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated income statement, the only exception being those which are directly allocated to "Foreign exchange conversion differences", i.e. those arising from the monetary items that form part of the net investment in a foreign operation and from the non-monetary ones measured at fair value, where changes in value are directly recognized in equity.

5.23. TAX ON PROFITS

Tax on profits is treated as an expense in the year and is recorded as such in the consolidated income statement, including both the tax charge for the current tax and the effect corresponding to the movement in deferred tax.

In order to determine this, the balance sheet method is followed, whereby the corresponding assets and deferred tax liabilities necessary to correct the effect of temporary differences are recorded. These are differences that may exist between the book amount of an asset or liability and its valuation for tax purposes.

Temporary differences may be "Taxable temporary differences", which result in higher tax payments in the future and which generally entail the recognition of a deferred tax liability; or "Deductible temporary differences", which result in lower tax payments in the future and, to the extent in which it is returnable, the registration of a deferred tax asset.

Meanwhile, tax on profits related to items where modifications in their value are directly recognized in equity is not allocated to the consolidated income statement but to equity, and the changes in value are recorded net of the tax effect.

a) Recognition of deferred tax liabilities

The Group recognizes deferred tax liabilities in all cases except those in which:

  • They arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that is not affected by the accounting result or the taxable income on the date of the transaction.
  • They correspond to differences relating to investments in controlled, associated or joint arrangement companies over which the Group controls the moment of reversal and it is not probable that a reversal occurs in the foreseeable future.

b) Recognition of deferred tax assets

The Group recognizes deferred tax assets as long as:

  • It is probable that there are sufficient future taxable profits to offset them. However, those assets that arise from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that is not affected by the accounting result or the taxable income on the date of the transaction are not recognized.
  • They correspond to temporary differences relating to investments in controlled, associated or joint arrangement companies to the extent that the temporary differences revert in the foreseeable future and positive future taxable profits are expected to be generated to offset the differences.

c) Compensation and classification

The Group only offsets assets and liabilities from tax on profits if the tax authorities have a legal right and it intends to liquidate debts coming from its net value or realize assets and liquidate debts simultaneously.

d) Deferred tax asset and liability valuation

The deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued by the tax rates applicable in the period in which assets are expected to be realized or liabilities paid.

The Group reviews the book value of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at the close of the period, and evaluates if conditions are fulfilled for recognizing deferred tax assets that had not previously been recognized.

Figures in millions of euros

The amounts shown as changes to the scope in 2016 mainly stem from the reclassification under the heading "Non-current assets maintained for sale" of the assets of the controlled companies Duero Vida and Duero Pensiones as a result of the announcement from Banco CEISS to exercise its voluntary purchase option over all of the shares owned by the Group in the aforementioned companies.

The entries in 2016 mainly stem from the acquisition of the Barclays Life and Pensions business in Portugal.

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life

The useful life of the following intangible assets is considered indefinite since these assets are expected to contribute to future revenues for the Group indefinitely:

The book value, net of any impairment, of each of the goodwill and portfolio acquisition expense items described above, and of the net assets associated with each cash-generating unit, is equal to or lower than the amount recoverable from the cash-generating unit to which they are allocated.

Figures in millions of euros

The calculation of the recoverable value of the cash-generating units takes into account the degree of economic development of the country in which the units operate as well as the degree of development of the insurance industry, measured by its weight in the country gross domestic product, and other variables such as market share, projected performance of the commercial network, MAPFRE's past experience in the markets where the cash-generating units are present, etc.

The discount rate (ke) and perpetuity growth rate (g), as defined below, are also taken into account:

1) Discount rate (ke) = Risk-free rate of the country + ( $\beta$ * Risk premium of the equity market)

2) Perpetuity growth rate (g): calculated according the long-term inflation projection issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF)

The country risk rate usually corresponds to the actual yield of the 10-year Treasury bonds in local currency issued in the country in which the cash-generating unit operates, increased by the risk premium of the equity market estimated for the insurance industry. The market risk premium for the insurance industry is calculated by modulating the generic premium for the equity market by the Beta ratio for listed insurance companies compared with the region in which the cash-generating unit operates.

The risk-free rate applied varied between 0.42 percent and 11.43 percent in 2017, and between 0.64 percent and 11.46 percent in 2016.

As a supplement for estimating the discount (ke) and perpetuity growth (g) rates applied to the different cash-generating units analyzed, the external projections of international organizations and other benchmark entities in the field of company ratings are used.

The following discount rates applied to the discounted cash flows were used to calculate the recoverable value of the main cash-generating units:

Discount rate
Cash-generating unit 2017 2016
MAPFRE USA 7.02% 6.50%
MAPFRE VIDA, BANKINTER VIDA (Spain) and CCM VIDA
Y PENSIONES
6.15% 7.77%
MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS 5.24% 5.61%
BB MAPFRE SH1 14.15% 15.71%
MAPERE BB SH2 14.24% 15.03%
GENEL SIGORTA 14.09% 13.90%
DIRECT LINE ITALY 5.88% 6.20%
DIRECT LINE GERMANY 4.13% 4.29%

The estimated perpetuity growth rates (g) applicable to the different cash-generating units are based on the long-term inflation projections included in the World Economic Outlook Database published by the International Monetary Fund, which are as follows for the markets in which the main cash-generating units operate:

Long-term inflation forecast
Country 2017 2016
Spain 1.90% 1.59%
United States 2.24% 2.31%
Turkey 7.51% 6.30%
Brazil 4.03% 4.51%
Italy 1.40% 1.20%
Germany 2.48% 1.98%

Bearing in mind the aforementioned variables, the perpetuity growth rates set for the markets in which the main cash-generating units operate are as follows:

Perpetuity growth rate (g)
Country 2017 2016
Spain 1.90% 1.59%
United States 2.24% 2.31%
Turkey 8.01% 6.80%
Brazil 4.53% 5.01%
Italy 1.40% 1.20%
Germany 2.48% 1.98%

Meanwhile, at least once a year each Group company analyzes the assumptions used to estimate future cash flows and restates them pursuant to actual results and past experience. The cash flow projections for the first five years consider growth rates based on past experience, while in subsequent years the residual value is calculated, establishing perpetual revenues based on the cash flows of the last period of the estimates, with a perpetuity growth rate calculated as described above.

In the event of reasonable variations in any of the key assumptions, the book value is unlikely to be higher than the recoverable value of the cash-generating units.

Specifically, the studies conducted for the main cash-generating units analyzed reveal the following sensitivity ranges in the event of unfavorable variations in the key assumptions:

  • An increase of 1 percentage point in the discount rate applied to each cash-generating unit would imply reductions in the recoverable values of between 10.43 percent and 40.40 percent in 2017, and between 6.69 percent and 36.18 percent in 2016. In any case, this figure would not fall below the book value attributed to any of them.
  • A decrease of 0.25 percentage points in the perpetuity growth rate applied to each cash-generating unit would imply reductions in the recoverable values of between 1.84 percent and 17.00 percent in 2017, and between 0.81 percent and 8.18 percent in 2016. Once again, this means that this figure would not fall below the book value attributed to any of them.

49

If the analysis of the possible impairment of goodwill reveals a recoverable value below the book value, an individual study is conducted of all the key assumptions that have led to this situation, calculating their impact. However, there are no significant risks associated with reasonable variations in key assumptions.

For impairment loss recorded in 2017, 104.86 million euros (of which 60.43 million correspond to goodwill and 44.43 million to portfolio acquisition expenses) are from the loss of value of the automobile business and of some general P&C lines incorporated in the cash-generating unit MAPFRE BB SH2, deriving from the discreet evolution of Brazil's economic environment and the weak economic growth forecast, as well as the negative development of said businesses, with high loss experiences and pressure on rates.

The impairment loss of 43.22 million euros in 2016 represented recognition of the difference between the book amount and the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit DIRECT LINE ITALY, as detected in the recoverable amount assessment conducted. This assessment took into account 8-year projections, as it was a recently acquired business still under development, estimating a premium growth rate of 3 percent for years 6 and 7, therefore higher than the aforementioned perpetuity growth rate of 1.20 percent and an improved margin for those periods. The main reason for the loss of recoverable value was the restructuring of the company carried out in 2016. As a result of fulfilling our business plan, in 2017 the projections are maintained at 7 years.

In 2016 the main expense was the sale to Fundación MAPFRE of 65.90 percent of the MAPFRE Tower in Barcelona for the sale price of 175.40 million euros with a profit before tax of 117.10 million euros.

The impairment entries in both periods refer to the recorded losses following the valuations made.

The English version is only a translation of the original in Spanish for information purposes. In case of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

Impairment losses for the year are recorded in the "Allowance to the asset impairment provision" and the reversal under "Reversal of the asset impairment provision" in the consolidated income statement.

The market value of real estate investment and of real estate for own use basically represents the value determined by an independent appraiser that uses appraisal techniques based on the variables observed in the market (Level 2). The appraisal methods commonly used are the cost method, the comparison method, the future rental income method and the abbreviated residual method, depending on the characteristics of the asset being appraised.

Moreover, most real estate corresponds to assets assigned to technical provisions and valuations are performed on a regular basis, as established for valuation reviews by the supervisory bodies of insurance activities.

The process for the valuation of financial assets is as follows:

  • a) When the asset is acquired, it is assigned to a specific portfolio (held-to-maturity, available for sale, or trading) depending on the characteristics of the liabilities to which it is going to be assigned and on the local and international legislation on accounting and insurance.
  • b) The accounting nature of the portfolios dictates the type of valuation performed. However, at least once a month all assets are valued against the market using the valuation methods mentioned in Note 5.5 "Financial investments" (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3).
  • c) The valuations are performed directly by the Group's companies, although in some countries an independent financial institution carries them out in line with the local regulations.

The valuation policy is decided by the Investment Committees and/or Risk Committees, and is reviewed at least once a quarter.

Furthermore, the MAPFRE S.A. Executive Committee analyzes the value of all investments, gains and losses on a regular basis.

With regard to the sensitivity of fair value measurements, changes in the non-observable variables used in the aforementioned individual valuations would not significantly alter the fair value obtained.

Quoted prices are monitored and verified on a regular basis in order to decide whether any transfers between levels are required:

    1. If the quotation source for a particular asset is no longer representative, it is transferred from Level 1 to Level 2.
    1. Assets are transferred from Levels 2 and 3 to Level 1 if a reasonable quotation source is verified.
    1. Assets are transferred to Level 3 when there are no longer any observable market data.

At the close of 2017 and 2016 the impairment analyses performed for each security in the equity portfolios concluded that there was no significant impairment, or any signs of such, in any of the investments measured at their stock market quoted price because none of the objective situations determining this eventuality had occurred.

With respect to investments in unquoted assets, in 2016 a provision of 23.65 million euros was made for impairment of the equity investment in SAREB. No other provisions were made during the periods 2016 and 2017 for significant impairment to investments in unquoted assets analyzed individually.

At the close of 2017 and 2016 the Group had fixed-income securities as guarantees for financial swap operations with a market value of 322.23 and 338.26 million euros, respectively. These financial assets are classified in the available-for-sale portfolio. At the close of these years, the guaranteed assets amounted to 507.32 and 487.68 million euros, respectively. In both cases the guarantee matures on a daily basis, at which time a new guarantee is established or the existing guarantee is maintained or canceled. The existence of these guarantees mitigated the counterparty risk (CVA/DVA) on a large portion of the Group's derivatives.

The main derivative instruments correspond to financial swaps of certain or predefined flows in which a Group company assumes the obligation to pay certain fixed or predefined amounts, usually stated in euros.

The sum of 512.60 million euros was recorded in the trading portfolio for this item in 2017 (488.01 million euros in 2016).

Purchased options are another type of derivative, albeit a less important one, which provide hedging for savings insurance operations in which the insured parties are guaranteed a specific yield based on the quotation performance of a financial asset, foreign currency or stock market index. At the close of 2017 this item amounted to 1.97 million euros (4.21 million euros in 2016).

The aforementioned investments were financed using shareholders' equity, the issue of debentures and drawdowns on the long-term line of credit.

The acquisition of 11.33 percent of ABDA comes from the tender offer exercised by MAPFRE subsequent to the take-over of said company, in line with Indonesian regulations.

No significant non-monetary transactions related to investment and financing activities have been excluded from the cash flow statement.

Commitments

Non-controlling shareholders of the MAPFRE RE subsidiary have a put option on the shares of this company. If exercised, MAPFRE S.A. or a Group company would have to acquire the shares from the selling noncontrolling shareholder. The purchase price for the MAPFRE RE shares will be calculated using the previously agreed formula. At December 31, 2017, based on the variables included in the aforementioned formula, the commitment assumed by the Group if this option were exercised would amount to a total of approximately 100.92 million euros.

6.10. NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE, ASSOCIATED LIABILITIES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

At December 31, 2017 and 2016 the main non-current assets held for sale, discontinued operations and associated liabilities were as follows:

Non-current assets classified as held-for-sale and associated liabilities

As a result of Banco CEISS exercising its call option for the whole of the Group's shares in the undertakings Duero Vida and Duero Pensiones, at December 31, 2016 the headings "Assets and liabilities held for sale" included assets for the amount of 879.9 million euros and associated liabilities for the amount of 689.3 million euros, corresponding to both dependent undertakings.

In June 2017, MAPFRE and Banco CEISS entered into a contract, by virtue of which MAPFRE transferred to Banco CEISS the whole of the shares for a total price of 141.7 million euros. The completion of the transaction is dependent on receiving authorization from the Dirección General de Seguros (Insurance Directorate General), upon receipt of which the transfer of and payment for the shares will be carried out.

At the date of entering into said contract, control of both undertakings was lost, and as such the revenues and expenses of said undertakings included in the balance sheet correspond only to the first five months of the year. Additionally, in the "Assets held for sale" heading of the balance sheet, only the fair value of the assets resulting from the sale is included in the balance sheet, which produced an accounting net gain of 5.8 million euros at the close of the period.

In 2017 these assets generated revenue for the amount of 51.09 million euros, and have not generated more results than those indicated in the previous paragraph (in 2016 they generated 104.34 million euros in revenues and 2.49 in results).

6.11. EQUITY

Share capital

The share capital is recorded by the face value of disbursed shares or whose disbursement was demanded.

The controlling company's share capital at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was represented by 3,079,553,273 shares, with a face value of 0.10 euros each, fully subscribed and paid-up. All shares carry identical voting and dividend rights.

The English version is only a translation of the original in Spanish for information purposes. In case of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

The Annual General Meeting of March 9, 2013 authorized the directors of the controlling company to increase the capital up to a maximum of 153,977,663.65 euros, equivalent to 50 percent of the share capital at the time. This authorization was granted for a period of five years. Furthermore, the directors were authorized to issue analogous fixed-income securities or debentures, convertible or not, for a maximum amount of 2 billion euros.

The Board of Directors, in their meeting on February 7, 2018, has agreed to propose to the Annual General Meeting to be held on March 9, 2018, to authorize the directors of the holding Company to increase capital again in the same terms as those previously mentioned, as well as to issue debentures or similar fixed-income securities, with the same conditions set out in the previous authorization.

CARTERA MAPFRE directly held 67.60 percent of the share capital at December 31, 2017 and 2016.

All shares representing the share capital of the controlling company are admitted to official trading on the Madrid and Barcelona stock markets.

Treasury Stock

At December 31, 2016, the controlling company owned 30,500,000 treasury stock, representing 0.99 percent of the capital, for the amount of 60.23 million euros, at an average rate of 1.97 euros per share.

In 2017 the number of treasury stock went down by 3,988,894, representing 0.13 percent of the capital, for the amount of 7.87 million euros. The difference from the sale price, which reaches 4.70 million euros, is included in the heading "Reserves".

At the close of 2017, the controlling company owned 26,511,106 treasury stock, representing 0.86 percent of the capital, for the amount of 52.36 million euros, at an average rate of 1.97 euros per share. The face value of the treasury stock at December 31, 2017 was 2,651,110.60 euros (3,050,000 euros at December 31, 2016).

At December 31, 2017 and 2016 no other Group company held shares in the controlling company.

Revaluation adjustments

This includes the equity reserves arising as a consequence of revenues and expenses recognized in each year which, pursuant to IFRS, must be recorded in the Group's equity accounts.

The following table shows the nature of the "Valuation change adjustments" recorded under that Equity heading at the close of the last two financial years:

TOTAL 620.69 654.67

Figures in millions of euros

Restrictions on the availability of reserves

"Reserves" includes the controlling company's legal reserve, amounting to 61.59 million euros at December 31, 2017 and 2016, which may not be distributed to shareholders, except in the event of the controlling company's liquidation, and may only be used to offset potential losses.

The same restriction applies to the legal reserves established by the subsidiaries and reflected in their balance sheets.

  • This heading also includes the reserve for redenomination of the share capital in euros amounting to 0.15 million euros, which in accordance with Article 28 of Law 46/1998 may not be distributed.
  • There are no other restrictions on the availability of reserves for any significant amount, except for those described in the section regarding "Tax incentives" in Note 6.21.

Capital management

Capital management is focused on ensuring stability and maintaining adequate remuneration, which are achieved through robust solvency margins, financial flexibility, the generation of cash flows, and the creation of value for shareholders.

Managed capital refers to the shareholders' equity permitted by the regulations currently in force and other management models used.

In line with the Group's risk appetite, which corresponds to the level of risk that the Group is prepared to assume to attain its business objectives without any significant deviations (even in adverse circumstances), each business unit operates according to a series of risk tolerance levels based on the capital assigned.

MAPFRE has an internal capitalization and dividend policy that is designed to provide the business units with the capital necessary to cover the risks that have been assumed, all in a rational and objective way.

The volume of dividends for distribution is established in line with the estimated results and shareholders' equity. If actual performance deviates from the estimates made, the assigned capital is revised.

Remuneration for shareholders is linked to the Group's profits, solvency, liquidity and investment plans, as well as shareholders' expectations.

As a general rule, the Board of Directors recommends a distribution of dividends to the Annual General Meeting based on between 50 percent and 65 percent of the result for the period attributable to the controlling company in its consolidated annual accounts.

The risk estimates and assignment of capital to each business unit are described in Note 7 of the annual report, "Risk Management".

The items that form part of the Group's available equity conform to the requirements of current regulations.

Figures in millions of euros

At December 31, 2017 and 2016 the main line of credit was as follows:

Limit Drawn down
Bank Maturity 2017 2016 2017 2016
Santander 11.12.2021 1,000.00 1,000.00 600.00 480.00
TOTAL 1,000.00 1,000.00 600.00 480.00

Figures in millions of euros

Banco de Santander is the agent bank of the aforementioned credit line, which is a syndicated loan with other companies and which accrues interest at a rate pegged to market variables. As per the contract terms, in 2016 the maturity was extended from December 2020 to December 2021.

Other financial liabilities

The heading "Other financial liabilities" includes the outstanding amount for financial obligations not included in any other items. The following table shows the breakdown at December 31, 2017 and 2016:

Amount
Other financial liabilities 2017 2016

CARTERA MAPFRE Credit
Other financial liabilities 43.41 48.88
TOTAL 1,235.17 752.09

Figures in millions of euros

The line of credit granted by CARTERA MAPFRE has a limit of 400.00 million euros, accrues interest at a variable rate referenced to the three-month Euribor, and matures on September 10, 2018, although it may be extended for successive periods of one year. In 2017 and 2016, 0.02 and 1.14 million euros, respectively, were paid in interest arising from this line of credit.

At December 31, 2017 and 2016 the fair value of these liabilities did not differ significantly from their book value.

Regarding the fair value level, the fair value valuations of these liabilities are classified at Level 2, with the exception of the balance of "Non-controlling interests in mutual funds", valued at liquid value (mostly Level 1) and 374.22 million euros of "Other financial liabilities valued at fair value and changes in P&L", at Level 1.

In 2017 and 2016 no financial liabilities were transferred between Levels 1, 2 and 3. Items are transferred between levels when they no longer meet the criteria for classification under a given level but meet those of one of the other levels. No adjustments were made for own credit risk in connection with the financial liabilities derived from financial swap transactions, given that they are cash flow exchange operations whose current net value leads to a balance in favor of the counterparty. In any event, the application of adjustments for own credit risk in these transactions would not have a material effect on the income statement or on equity.

The provisions for risks and expenses include the estimated amounts of tax debts, settlement agreement payments, restructuring, employee incentives and others derived from the activities and inherent risks of the Group companies, which will be paid in the coming years.

The estimates of the amount provided and the period in which the provisions will be liquidated are affected by uncertainties regarding the ruling on filed appeals and performance of other parameters. It was not necessary to design assumptions regarding future events in order to determine the value of the provision. Potential provision reimbursement is not expected.

At December 31, 2017 and 2016 the heading "Provision for taxes" included tax liabilities amounting to 299.14 and 331.57 million euros, respectively, related to the tax contingencies that the Brazilian insurance

companies have with the tax authorities in that country, pending the decision by the Brazilian Supreme Court. These contingencies refer to the taxes known as COFINS (tax contribution used to fund social security) amounting to 294.15 million euros (325.97 million euros at December 31, 2016) and the Social Integration Program (PIS) amounting to 4.99 million euros (5.60 million euros at December 31, 2016). These contingencies have arisen due to discrepancies in the interpretation by the Brazilian government and the business sector of the regulation regarding the taxation that applies to the companies' turnover.

The Group is currently involved in legal proceedings with the Brazilian tax authorities in connection with the enforceability of the aforementioned CONFINS and PIS taxes, regarding non-operating finance income, in the amount of 170.14 and 171.17 million euros at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Given the current uncertainty in case law regarding whether the PIS and CONFINS calculation base should be extended to include non-operating finance income, as well as the existence of a ruling by the Brazilian National Treasury General Attorney's Office that is favorable to the insurance companies, both the Group and its advisors classify the loss risk as possible.

The Group is currently immersed in legal proceedings against the Brazilian broker "Proposta Corretora" regarding its intervention in a guarantee bankruptcy insurance contract. The broker is claiming 123 million reales (30.94 million euros). MAPFRE has won the first instance lawsuit and the case is currently at the appeal stage. The Group has classified the loss risk as possible.

"Other provisions" for 2017 and 2016 include the contingent payments arising from business combinations, which include the variable part of the price of the business combination that directly depends on the achievement of certain targets linked to the performance of each of the businesses acquired, amounting to 22.66 and 51.40 million euros at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The embedded value was taken into account for the calculation. At each reporting date, the amount of the contingent benefit is reevaluated, recognizing any differences with the previous valuation.

Payments are made in full as from the reference date for the calculation of the embedded value, projected for 2017 to 2021 in accordance with the contracts signed with the sellers in each business combination.

6.16. DEPOSITS RECEIVED ON CEDED AND RETROCEDED REINSURANCE

Deposits on ceded and retroceded reinsurance represent guarantees given to reinsurers in line with the reinsurance coverage contracts entered into pursuant to usual business practices. These deposits accrue interest to be paid and the average renewal period is usually quarterly. The liquidation of the aforementioned interest is performed quarterly.

6.17, DEBT

The balances included in the headings "Due on direct insurance and co-insurance operations", "Due on reinsurance operations", "Tax liabilities" and "Other debts" do not accrue payable interest and generally their liquidation is performed in the following year. In the current year, the Brazilian subsidiary has cancelled a provision for the amount of 102.90 million euros, initially established to cover possible expenses of various natures, and which to December 31 did not represent any obligation for the Group.

The income statement reflects expenses by use, i.e., based on the function the expenses fulfill in the operational cycle of the insurance activity (claims-related expenses, the acquisition of insurance contracts, administration, investments or other technical items).

The English version is only a translation of the original in Spanish for information purposes. In case of discrepancy, the Spanish version shall prevail.

$\overline{\phantom{a}}$

Expenses are initially recognized according to their nature, and are reclassified according to their use in those cases in which the nature and use are not the same. The reclassification performed in the subject headings is as follows:

  • Claims-related expenses. Includes expenses for personnel assigned to claims management, amortization $1)$ and depreciation of fixed assets assigned to this activity, fees paid for claims management and expenses incurred for other services necessary for processing claims.
  • Net operating expenses. Included in this heading are: $2)$
  • Acquisition expenses. Includes commissions, expenses for personnel assigned to production, amortization and depreciation of fixed assets assigned to this activity, expenses for analyzing and processing policy applications and formalizations, as well as advertising, publicity and commercial organization expenses directly related to the acquisition of insurance contracts.
  • Administration expenses. These primarily include expenses for personnel assigned to these functions and amortization and depreciation of fixed assets assigned to this activity, as well as expenses deriving from contentious matters related to premiums, from processing refunds and from ceded and accepted reinsurance.
  • Commissions and participations in reinsurance. Includes compensation from reinsurers to the ceding companies for acquisition and administration expenses incurred by the latter, as well as their participation in the profits of the reinsurer.
  • 3) Expenses from investments. Includes expenses for personnel assigned to managing investments, charges to amortization and depreciation of fixed assets assigned to this activity, and other internal and external expenses for managing investments, with external expenses including fees, commissions and brokerage fees accrued.

Expenses from investments are classified as from operations or from equity depending on whether they derive from investments corresponding to technical provisions (operating investments) or from investments corresponding to the company's equity (equity investments).

Figures in millions of euros

The increase in "Claims paid and change in the provision for claims" in 2017 for ceded and retroceded reinsurance is primarily due to the impact of the catastrophic events occurring in 2017, among which stand out hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, the earthquakes in Mexico, and Coastal El Niño. The net impact (retained loss after tax and non-controlling interests) of these natural catastrophes on the "Result for the period attributable to the controlling Company" reaches 183.80 million euros.

6.21. FISCAL SITUATION

Fiscal consolidation regulations

Tax on profits

Since the financial year 1985, some of the consolidated companies with registered offices in Spain have been included for corporation tax purposes in Fiscal Group 9/85. This Group is made up of the controlling company and those of its subsidiaries that are eligible for this tax regime. A list of the subsidiaries included in this fiscal Group in 2017 is provided in Annex 1 of this report.

Value Added Tax

Since the financial year 2010, and for the purposes of value added tax, some of the consolidated companies with a registered address in Spain have been included in the VAT Group 87/10, formed by MAPFRE S.A. as the controlling company and those of its controlled companies that agreed to join the Group when it was created. A list of the subsidiaries that form part of this Group in 2017 is provided in Annex 1 of this report.

Components of tax on profits expenses and reconciliation of the book result with the tax cost of ongoing activities

Shown below for the financial years ending December 31, 2017 and 2016 are the main components of the tax on profits expenses from ongoing activities and the reconciliation between the tax on profits expenses and the product of multiplying the book result by the applicable tax rate. The Group has reconciled the amounts by aggregating reconciliations made separately using the national rates of each country.

Figures in millions of euros

Deductions for double taxation are not taken into account in the above table since they are mainly related to dividends collected from subsidiaries eliminated in the consolidation process.

In 2017, the "Expense from current tax originated in previous years" includes the reduction in tax liabilities for subsidiaries in the United States, coming from the reduction of the tax rate included in the tax reform approved in this country, for the amount of 37.80 million euros.

In 2017 and 2016 consolidated tax group no. 9/85 made use of the reduction for capitalization reserve contemplated in Article 25 of the Corporate Income Tax Act 27/2014, giving rise to a decrease of 0.47 million euros in 2017 (2.36 million euros in 2016) in the consolidated tax payable.

To enjoy this tax benefit, there must be an increase in shareholders' equity in the period and this increase must be maintained for a period of 5 years, and a reserve must be created amounting to 10 percent of said increase, which will be restricted for the same 5-year period.

The Group's controlling company met this requirement in 2016 with a charge to the freely-distributable reserves existing on its balance sheet at December 31, 2016. The Group's controlling company will meet this requirement in 2017 with a charge to the freely-distributable reserves existing on its balance sheet at December 31, 2017.

Shareholders' equity and allocated reserves in the last three periods, subject to the maintenance requirement, are as follows:

Verification by tax authorities

In accordance with current legislation, the statements made for the different taxes may not be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or until the expiration period has elapsed (four years for Spanish companies).

As a result of the inspections initiated on February 17, 2012 relating to the corporate income tax returns of Tax Group 9/85 for the financial years 2007 to 2009, which affected MAPFRE S.A., as the controlling company, as well as MAPFRE ASISTENCIA, COMPAÑÍA INTERNACIONAL DE SEGUROS Y REASEGUROS, S.A. (years 2007-2009), MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS S.A. (years 2008 and 2009), MAPFRE VIDA S.A. DE SEGUROS Y REASEGUROS SOBRE LA VIDA HUMANA (2008 and 2009) and MAPFRE ESPAÑA COMPAÑÍA DE SEGUROS Y REASEGUROS, S.A., a notice of disagreement was signed for the sum of 5.54 million euros relating to the deduction of research and development and technological innovation expenses and an appeal has been filed with the Central Economic Administrative Court. A ruling is currently pending in this matter.

A notice of disagreement was also signed for "Withholdings on earnings" in 2008 and 2009, for a total amount of 0.49 million euros, as well as for "Withholdings on investment income" in 2008 and 2009, for 5.38 million euros, affecting MAPFRE VIDA and MAPFRE ESPAÑA, and appeals have been filed with the Audiencia Nacional (National Court of Appeals).

As a result of the limited-scope inspections initiated on June 23, 2014 against MAPFRE ESPAÑA and MAPFRE VIDA, notices of disagreement were signed for "Withholdings on investment income" for 2010 to 2013, in connection with certain risk and savings insurance, and appeals have been filed with Audiencia Nacional (National Court of Appeals). Moreover, on May 10, 2016 notices of disagreement for the same concept were signed regarding the year 2014 and MAPFRE VIDA and BANKIA MAPFRE VIDA. The payments were made to the Spanish tax authorities but appeals were filed with the Central Economic Administrative Court and are pending a ruling on the complaints.

On December 4, 2017 MAPFRE S.A. received notification, as the controlling company of consolidated tax Group number 9/85, the initiation of inspection activity for corporate income tax pertaining to years 2013 to 2016. Likewise, and in reference to Value Added Tax, they received notification as representative of VAT Group number 87/10, the initiation of confirmation activity for the years 2014 to 2016. In reference to MAPFRE ESPAÑA, the activity extend to the rest of the taxes the company is subject to for the years 2014 to 2016, and in the case of MAPFRE VIDA, MAPFRE RE, MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS, and MAPFRE TECH to withholdings on earnings for the years 2014 to 2016.

On November 6, FUNESPAÑA, S.A. received notification, as the controlling company of tax consolidation Group number 97/13, of the initiation of inspection activity for corporate income tax pertaining to the years 2013 and 2014, which in the case of Value Added Tax and withholdings on earnings the companies ALL FUNERAL SERVICES and FUNEMADRID are also affected, for the period November 2013 to December 2014.

Main post-employment benefits

Defined benefit plans

The main defined benefit plans in force throughout the Group, all of which are instrumented through insurance policies, are measured pursuant to the provisions described in the accounting policies, and are those where the benefit is determined according to end salaries, with the benefit paid as a life annuity, subject to review in line with the annual consumer price index (CPI).

In relation to the amounts recognized on the balance sheet, the obligations regarding defined benefit plans amounted to 47.28 and 48.45 million euros at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, fully externalized through written policies with MAPFRE VIDA. Consequently, no assets allocated to these plans are recognized and the liability recognized on the consolidated balance sheet is recorded under the heading "Provisions for life insurance".

There are also obligations relating to pension commitments, externalized through allocated insurance policies, amounting to 12.71 and 12.93 million euros at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These amounts coincide with the value of the assets allocated to the plan.

The main actuarial assumptions used at the end of both years were the following: mortality tables PERM/F-2000, annual CPI of 3 percent in both years, the discount rates and the expected return of allocated assets being identical since these are products with flow matching.

No contributions to the aforementioned defined benefit plans are envisaged for 2018.

Other post-employment benefits

In 2017 and 2016 the personnel expenses correspond to Life insurance covering death between ages 65 and 77, amounting to 1.40 and 1.24 million euros, respectively.

Other medium-term remuneration and share-based payments

In 2016, the Board of Directors approved a new medium-term incentive plan valued and recognized in the income statement in line with the valuation rule in Note 5.19 "Personnel expenses".

The personnel expenses recorded in the consolidated income statement for this plan amounted to 2.91 million euros a 2017 (19.12 million euros in 2016), with 10.84 million euros recognized at December 31, 2017 under liabilities as the remuneration amount to be settled in cash (9.44 million euros at December 31, 2016), and 10.09 million euros recognized at December 31, 2017 (9.68 million euros in 2016) in equity for the remuneration to be settled through equity instruments. In 2017 the number of reference shares taken into account for the purposes of this remuneration amounted to 7,720,980 (12,623,526 in 2016).

  • Additionally, in 2016, as explained in the valuation rules, the 2013-2015 medium-term incentive plan was liquidated, having paid 34.47 million euros in said concept, which amount was fully provisioned.
  • Further, as indicated in the valuation rule "5.19 Personnel expenses", the Group had an incentive plan referenced to the MAPFRE S.A. share, which expired in 2016, having recorded (0.14) million euros in said period as a personnel expense item.

In order to cover the expenses related to this item, at the date of exercise of the right two equity swaps were purchased in 2008 of 8,625,733 shares and 219,297 shares, with a strike price of 3.2397 and 2.6657 euros, respectively. Said equity swaps were cancelled in 2017, with no significant impact on the consolidated income statement as there their market value was a provision for at December 31, 2016.

6.24. CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

At the end of 2017 and 2016, and at the time of preparing these consolidated annual accounts, there was no evidence of the existence of contingent assets and liabilities for significant amounts, other than those disclosed in these notes.

6.25. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Executed in the financial years 2017 and 2016

In 2017 and 2016 several shareholdings were purchased, the most significant being the take-over of the Indonesian insurance company ABDA in 2017, and the acquisition of the Barclays Life and Pensions business in Portugal in 2016. The ABDA take-over consists of a business combination in stages, as MAPFRE already owned 20 percent of the capital. With this operation, MAPFRE consolidated the entry into the Indonesian insurance market it began in 2013, allowing the company to increase its presence in Southeast Asia and position itself in a market with great potential. The 2016 acquisition reinforced MAPFRE's presence in the Portuguese market.

The table below shows the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities related to the acquisition of these businesses:

Figures in millions of euros

The fair values from the business combinations carried out in 2017 have been provisionally allocated, as the proper identification and determination of said values is being studied, based on projections that are being revised with a time horizon of around 10 years.

The above stated fair values differ from the book values of the companies prior to the combination, mainly due to portfolio acquisition expenses and corresponding tax liabilities, which are not recorded on their hooks.

The original 20 percent stake held in ABDA has been recorded at fair value, recognizing a positive effect of 13.50 million euros, net of taxes, in the Group 2017 consolidated income statement.

The net acquisition costs of all the combinations in 2017 and 2016 have been met in full, and at December 31, 2017 and 2016 there were no outstanding amounts pending payment.

The expenses directly attributable to the combinations in 2017 and 2016, corresponding to independent professional, legal and financial advisory fees and amounting in total to 0.31 and 0.74 million euros, respectively, are recorded as expenses in the consolidated income statement.

The aforementioned combinations were incorporated into the consolidated group on June 1, 2017 in the case of the one acquired that year, and on April 1, 2016 in the case of those acquired the previous year. They have contributed 43.54 and 107.71 million euros to the Group's premiums, and 2.87 and 4.50 million euros to the net result attributable to the controlling company, respectively. If these combinations had been executed at the beginning of each year, they would have contributed 76.74 and 143.61 million euros to the Group's premiums, and 6.64 and 6.00 million euros to the net result attributable to the controlling company, respectively.

The business combinations with an insignificant cost that took place during 2017 and 2016 are listed in Annex 1.

In 2016 MAPFRE ESPAÑA and its Portuguese partner SALVADOR CAETANO AUTO (SCA) restructured their vehicle distribution and rental businesses, previously pursued through the Spanish company IBERICAR Sociedad Ibérica del Automóvil (IBERICAR) and the Portuguese company FINLOG Aluguer e Comercio Automóveis S.A. (FINLOG), investee companies in which MAPFRE ESPAÑA and SCA both had a 50 percent share.

Following the aforementioned restructuring, SCA increased its share capital with all shares being purchased by MAPFRE ESPAÑA through the provision of various assets, including its share in IBERICAR and FINLOG.

As a result of this operation, SCA became the sole shareholder of IBERICAR and FINLOG, while MAPFRE ESPAÑA became the owner of 26 percent of the share capital of SCA, primarily engaged in the distribution and rental of vehicles in several countries.

This operation increased the assets and result attributable to the controlling company by 20.53 million euros.

The information relating to the key figures of the associated undertakings is included in Annex 1 of the annual report.

Remuneration of key management personnel

The following table shows the paid remuneration received in the last two years by members of the Board of Directors of the controlling company:

The amounts of 2016 remuneration are different than those amounts included in the annual accounts for the year, as the remuneration was recorded as paid remuneration instead of accrued. The basic remuneration for external directors consists in an annual fixed amount for membership to the Board of Directors, which was 110,000 euros in 2017 (110,000 euros in 2016). In 2016, a fixed annual allowance of 110,000 euros has been established for the Vice-Chairman-Coordinating Director. The members of the Steering Committee receive 20,000 euros (40,000 euros in 2016). Said amount reaches 55,000 euros (50,000 in 2016), in the case of people who chair a sub-steering committee, while all other members of a sub-steering committee receive 35,000 euros (30,000 euros in 2016).

Members of the boards of directors of Spanish insurance companies also receive a fixed allowance of 45,000 euros (40,000 in 2016), which amount in 2017 reaches 100,000 euros in the case of people who chair the Board and 8,000 euros for those who are members of Steering Committees (6,000 in 2016).

Life insurance is also established in case of death, with an insured capital of 150,253 euros, as well as some of the staff benefits like medical insurance.

Executive directors (who are deemed to be executives of the controlling company as well as those who perform executive functions in other MAPFRE GROUP companies) receive the remuneration established in their contracts, which includes a fixed salary, incentives with varying amounts linked to results, life and disability insurance, and other general benefits established for the Group's staff. They also receive certain pension supplements for retirement, externalized through a life insurance policy. All of these payments are in line with the compensation policy established by the Group for its senior managers, whether or not they are directors. In 2017 contributions to defined benefit plans amounted to 4.20 million euros, recognized as expenses for the year (3.40 million euros in 2016).

Executive directors do not receive the fixed assignment established for external directors.

In relation to the medium-term incentive plan approved in 2016, 1.33 million euros were provisioned, of which 1.31 million euros correspond to remuneration in cash, and 0.02 million euros to remuneration to be settled through equity instruments. In 2016, 3.28 million euros were provisioned, of which 2.17 million corresponded to remuneration in cash and 1.11 million to remuneration to be settled through equity instruments.

In 2016, 4.72 million euros were liquidated, of which 1.48 million euros are pending payment at the close of said year, with this amount being fully provisioned.

The following table shows the estimated amounts deriving from provisions pending payment to the members of the Board of Directors at December 31 in both years:

Additionally, and regarding variable short-term remuneration already paid, at the close of 2017 2.62 million euros are pending payment, of which 1.98 million euros correspond to 2017 and the rest to 2016.

The basic remuneration for external directors is approved by the Annual General Meeting at the recommendation of the Board of Directors and in keeping with the report drawn up by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee. The amount of the contractual remuneration for executive directors and the fixed payment for membership of the boards or steering committees are approved by the Board of Directors, subject to a report by the committee.

The insurance premium paid on behalf of the administrators for damages liability was 0.44 million euros (0.47 million euros in 2016).

Regarding the 2016-2018 medium-term incentive plan, in the current year an allowance of 0.1 million euros was provisioned in 2017 (1.27 million euros in 2016) of which 0.09 million euros correspond to remuneration in cash and 0.01 to remuneration to be settled in equity instruments. In 2016, settlement of the 2013-2016 medium-term incentives plan of 4.98 million euros.

Additionally, an expense of 0.52 million euros was recorded in 2017 (1.18 million euros in 2016) as a contribution to defined benefit plans.

6.27. POST-BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

MAPFRE and Banco do Brasil have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding on February 5, 2018 to update the terms of their strategic alliance in the insurance business. The redefinition of these agreements would result in an increase in MAPFRE's shareholding in its businesses in Brazil, which would allow it to progress toward a simpler and more efficient governance structure and reduce internal costs, with a significant improvement in productivity and business profitability.

According to the terms of the memorandum, MAPFRE would become the owner of 100 percent (currently 50 percent) of the sum of the business generated by the agency network and the automobile and large risks business in the BB bank channel. The same current shareholder configuration for life and agriculture insurance would be maintained and BB's bank channel homeowners insurance, which BB MAPFRE would continue to develop, would be incorporated into this same structure, with MAPFRE's shareholding being 25 percent.

MAPFRE would maintain exclusivity in the Banco do Brasil bank channel for all the businesses falling within the scope of the alliance, both those that it underwrites directly as well as those distributed through BB MAPFRE.

7. RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. establishes the risk level that the Group would be ready to assume to attain its business objectives with no significant deviations, even in adverse situations. That level, which establishes limits and sub-limits per risk type, configures the MAPFRE Group's risk appetite.

MAPFRE's structure is based on highly autonomous Units and Companies insofar as their management. The governing and management bodies of the Group approve the Units' and Companies' lines of action regarding continuous risk management and supervision through indicators and risk exposure ratios.

The Group Corporate Risk Management Area handles all significant aspects related to risk management corresponding to both the Group and the different legal undertakings belonging to it, establishing benchmark directives and criteria to be taken on, with any adaptations necessary, by the risk areas of the individual undertakings.

The Governing Bodies regularly receive half-yearly information relating to the quantification of the main risks to which the Group is exposed and the capital resources available to cover them, as well as information relating to compliance with the established risk appetite limits.

Assigned capital is established in general based on estimates in accordance with the budgets from the preceding year and it is periodically reviewed throughout the year in line with the development of risks in order to ensure compliance with the established risk appetite limits.

These limits provide for certain companies requiring a higher level of capitalization, in relative terms, than the Group average, either because they operate in different countries with different legal requirements, or because their activities are subject to more stringent financial solvency requirements than those of the other Group entities.

Exposure to the types of risk coming from the Group financial instruments and insurance contracts, as well as the processes and methods used for their management and measurement are explained in sections A), B), C) and D) of this Note.

INSURANCE RISK $\mathsf{A}$

Sensitivity to insurance risk $1.$

This sensitivity analysis measures the effect on capital fluctuations upward and downward of the determining factors of insurance risk (number of insured risks, the average premium value, frequency and cost of claims). One measure of the sensitivity to the Non-Life insurance risk is the impact that a 1 percentage point change in the combined ratio would have on the annual results and, consequently, on equity. The following table shows this effect and the volatility index of the ratio, calculated according to the standard deviation in a five-year time horizon.

For the Life activity, in contrast to previous years, the Market Consistent Embedded Value (MCEV) methodology has been used. The main difference with respect to the EEV used above is that the yields of the assets and the credit risk are determined in such a way that the net flows of the assets, discounted to the origin, coincide with their market value. In this way, yields and credit risk cease to be a hypothesis and become a consequence of the market price of the assets.

The Embedded Value of the Life, Accidental Death, Mutual Fund and Pension Fund insurance businesses comprises the adjusted net asset value plus the value in force, defined as follows:

  • Embedded value: Adjusted Net Asset Value (ANAV) + Value of In Force Business (VIF)
  • Adjusted Net Asset Value (ANAV): Adjusted Net Asset Value or ANAV is the same as equity according to the IFRS, adjusted for: committed donations and dividends; goodwill; deferred expenses; and any other element necessary to obtain the economic value of the capital.
  • Value of In Force Business (VIF) = PVFP TVFOG Coc, being:
  • The Present Value of Future Profits or "PVFP" is equal to the present value of expected future accounting profits of the portfolio in force at the valuation date, after tax and discounted to the reference curve. The financial performance of the business in force has been calculated on the basis of interest rates on the reference curve, except for fixed interest rate assets related to Life-Savings insurance, where book yields have been used with an adjustment for credit risk based on the market value of the assets. The PVFP includes the "intrinsic value" of the FOG granted to the insured. The financial performance of future investments has been calculated based on interest rates of the reference curve.
  • TVFOG = Time value of financial options and guarantees granted to policyholders. These options are included in the contracts, which implies the existence of potentially valuable underlying guarantees, or options to change, the level or nature of policyholders' benefits and exercisable at the discretion of policyholders, whose potential value is impacted by the performance of financial variables
  • CoC = Cost of Capital. In line with Solvency II Risk Margin calculation, the CoC used in the 2016 MCEV has been measured by applying a fixed rate of 6% (gross of taxes) to the required solvency capital, excluding market risks.

In line with MCEV principles, a methodology that is aligned with Solvency II criteria has been selected, with the exception of:

  • Contract limits: in products renewable annually in which the Solvency II criteria establishes that the limit of the contract with effect to the valuation is at the end of the year in progress, the criteria applied for MCEV has been to project successive renewals, considering the probability of cancellation until the contracts' maturity.
  • In line with the above, the cost of capital has been calculated based on a $\bullet$ theoretical capital requirement, which would correspond if this same contract limit were applied to the risks calculation.

As such, the key hypotheses used have been:

  • Discount curves: Risk-free reference rates published by EIOPA (European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority) at the valuation date have been used, including volatility adjustments or matching adjustments (by product).
  • Risk Margin methodology has been followed for the cost of capital, including the factor of 6% per annum (before taxes).

The following table shows the composition of the embedded value of the business of MAPFRE VIDA and its controlled companies at the close of 2016 and 2015 (the figures for 2017 were not available when the consolidated annual accounts were prepared).

item 2016 (MCEV) 2015 (EEV)

Cost of regulatory capital (444.10) (273.70)
TOTAL EMBEDDED VALUE 4,548.50 3,434.60

Figures in millions of euros

The variables to which embedded value was most sensitive in 2016 were as follows:

  • A 100 basis-point increase in interest rates, which would reduce the embedded value by 290.9 million euros in the existing portfolio and by 11.1 million euros in the new business.
  • A 10 percent reduction in the decline in the portfolio, which would increase the embedded value by 213 million euros in the existing portfolio and by 25.8 million euros in the new business.

The insurance companies in the territorial areas of LATAM and International that operate in the Life insurance business mainly do so through risk schemes.

Concentrations of insurance risk $2.$

The Group has a high degree of insurance risk diversification since it operates in virtually all insurance lines in Spain and has a wide presence in the international markets.

The Group has implemented a system of procedures and limits which allows it to control the level of concentrated insurance risk.

It is standard practice to use reinsurance contracts to mitigate the insurance risk arising from the concentration or accumulation of guarantees exceeding the maximum acceptance levels.

$C)$ LIQUIDITY RISK

With respect to liquidity risk, MAPFRE has a Liquidity Risk Management Policy and an Asset and Liability Management Policy, which together comprise the benchmark framework for acting in this regard. In MAPFRE, the general practice is based on maintaining cash balances sufficient to comfortably cover the commitments arising from its obligations to insured parties and creditors. Thus, at 31 December 2017, the cash and cash equivalent balance amounted to 1.86 billion euros (1.45 billion euros the previous year), equivalent to 4.25 percent of total financial investments and cash (3.30 percent at the close of 2016). For Life and Savings insurance the investment criteria applied consists in matching the maturities of investments with obligations entered into under the terms of insurance contracts in order to mitigate the long-term liquidity risk. In addition, most fixedincome investments have an investment grade and are negotiable on organized markets, providing ample capacity to act against potential liquidity stress.

Assets with maturity exceeding one year are described in the "Interest rate risk" section.

112

Lastly, MAPFRE's low level of debt as regards shareholders' equity, combined with the amount not drawn down from the syndicated loan taken out by the controlling company, provides additional liquidity through financing operations. Note 6.13 "Financial liabilities" provides information on the Group's debt with credit institutions and its other financial liabilities.

MARKET RISK D)

The MAPFRE Risk Management Area carries out resilience and sensitivity tests regarding the impact of financial variables from the market on its solvency position.

The Group's Investment Area regularly conducts analyses of the sensitivity of the investment portfolio's value to market risk. Among others, the most usual indicators are the modified duration, for fixed-income securities, and the VaR, or value at risk, for equity instruments.

The modified duration reflects the sensitivity of the value of the assets to movements in interest rates and represents an approximation of the percentage variation that the value of financial assets would experience for every percentage point (100 bp) of variation of interest rates.

The balances included in the "Receivables" heading under the assets on the balance sheet and in the "Due on direct insurance and co-insurance operations", "Due on reinsurance operations", "Tax liabilities" and "Other debts" accounts under the liabilities on the balance sheet do not accrue interest and they are usually settled the following year. Liabilities with a maturity exceeding one year are covered in the section "Liquidity risk arising from subordinated liabilities and financial liabilities".

Exchange rate risk $\overline{2}$ .

The following table shows the breakdown of assets and liabilities regarding the currencies in which they are recorded at the end of the last two years.

Figures in millions of euros

The sensitivity of the Group's equity to changes in euro exchange rates against the different currencies in which assets are stated is determined by the net total amount shown in the previous table, having deducted the amount for the non-monetary items. Similarly, the effect of these exchange rate variations on the Group's future results is determined by the volume of earnings obtained in each currency. Annex 1 provides a breakdown of the result obtained by each Group company and the country where its operations are located.

Stock market risk $3.$

The VaR or value at risk (maximum variation expected in a one-year time horizon and for a confidence level of 99 percent) of equities and mutual funds exposed to stock market risk amounted to 656.44 and 837.35 million euros at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

4. Property risk

At December 31, 2017 the Group had property assets representing approximately 4.36 percent of total investments and cash (4.60 percent at December 31, 2016), of which approximately 42.40 percent corresponds to its own offices (44.03 percent at December 31, 2016). This equity serves the dual function of providing administrative and sales support as well as generating revenues from investments and diversifying investments. The breakdown of these property assets is shown in the following table:

Net book value Market value
Item 2017 2016 2017 2016
Real estate investments
Real estate for own use
1,250.71
920.64
1,274 81
1,002.96
1,679.12
1,266.36
1,711.67
1,404.07
TOTAL 2,171.35 2.277.77 2,945.48 3,115.74

Figures in millions of euros

Unrealized gains would offset a fall in the price of the properties equivalent to approximately 26.28 percent of their market value at the close of 2017 (26.89 percent at the close of 2016).

8. OTHER INFORMATION

8.1. INFORMATION RELATED TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE BODY

In the last two years, there have not been any conflicts of interest, either direct or indirect, between the directors or the people connected to them and the Group.

In the last two years, the controlling company's directors did not carry out any operations with the controlling company itself or with any other Group company either outside the scope of the companies' ordinary trading activities or outside normal market conditions.

8.2. FEES EARNED BY THE AUDITORS

The annual accounts of the controlling company and of the main Group companies for the financial year 2017 have been audited by the firm KPMG, with the main exception of the subsidiaries with registered offices in Chile, whose auditor is Ernst & Young.

The remuneration accrued by the main auditor is shown below. It is deemed that these fees do not compromise the independence of the auditors.

Item 2017 2016
Audit services 6.32 6.95
Other verification services 1.77 1.04
Taxservices 0.04 0.09
Other services 0.01 0.34
Total services of main auditor 8.14 8.42

Figures in millions of euros

The amounts corresponding to 2016 are higher by 0.39 million euros than those included in the annual accounts of said period due to their review in 2017.

Fees for account audit services rendered by auditors other than the main auditor amounted to 0.21 million euros in 2017 (0.20 million euros in 2016).

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW

BUSINESS MODEL

The vision of MAPFRE is to be THE MOST TRUSTED GLOBAL INSURANCE COMPANY, a concept that refers not only to its geographic presence but also to the wide range of insurance, reinsurance and service products which it promotes around the globe. The Group aspires to lead the markets in which it operates through a proprietary differentiated management model based on profitable growth, a clear and purposeful orientation to both individual and corporate clients, a multichannel focus, and a profound vocation for service.

Accordingly, MAPFRE:

  • " Is firmly committed to growth, both in terms of business volume and geographic development, generating adequate and sufficient profitability from its activities. MAPFRE will continue to expand its presence across more countries and regional areas in order to consolidate its status as a global company, while reinforcing its presence in the countries and regions which have traditionally constituted its preferred markets.

  • Deploys a global management model with ample capacity for local implementation, ensuring an appropriate balance between corporate involvement and business development in each country. As such, MAPFRE utilizes a corporate structure that allows it to harness economies of scale and pursue its business plans in a uniform manner but with the flexibility to adapt to the markets in which it operates.
  • " Makes its resources available to the entire organization, thus harnessing the synergies derived from sharing talent, processes and tools.
  • Promotes specialized management as a means of continuously optimizing results and enhancing service quality.

MAPFRE's stated mission is to be a multinational team that strives to constantly improve services and develop the best possible relationships with clients, distributors, providers, shareholders and society in general. This commitment to continuous improvement is underpinned by the following values, which assist in developing the mission and in order to achieve the company's vision:

  • Solvency: financial strength with sustainable results and full capacity to meet all obligations to stakeholders.
  • Integrity: ethical conduct as a core element in how everyone (senior executives, employees, agents and collaborators) behaves, with a socially responsible focus on all long-term activities and commitments.
  • Vocation for service: the constant quest for excellence in the pursuit of its activities and a continuous focus on building strong relationships with clients.

  • Innovation for leadership: differentiation as a key aspect of continuous growth and improvement, using technology to service the different businesses and their objectives.

  • Committed team: full engagement of employees, senior executives, agents and other collaborators with the MAPFRE project and continuous development of the team's skills and abilities.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND GOOD GOVERNANCE

A) ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

MAPFRE is a multinational company engaged mainly in insurance and reinsurance activities, operating in a total of 45 countries around the world.

The Group's holding company is MAPFRE S.A., whose shares are listed on the Madrid and Barcelona Stock Exchanges. MAPFRE S.A. is also a component of the IBEX 35, STOXX Europe 600 Insurance, MSCI Spain, FTSE All-World Developed Europe, FTSE4Good and FTSE4Good IBEX indices.

MAPFRE S.A. is a subsidiary of CARTERA MAPFRE, S.L., a single-member company that is wholly controlled by Fundación MAPFRE.

The Group pursues its business activities through an organizational structure made up of four business units (Insurance; Assistance, Services and Specialty Risks; Global Risks; and Reinsurance); three territorial areas (IBERIA, LATAM and INTERNATIONAL); and six regional areas (Iberia (Spain and Portugal), Brazil, LATAM North, LATAM South, North America and EURASIA (Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific).

The Insurance Business Unit is organized in line with the MAPFRE regional areas, which are the geographic units that plan, support and oversee the region.

The activities of the different business units are supplemented by those of the corporate areas (Finance, Investments, Human Resources, Resources and Institutional Coordination, Business Support, Internal Audit, Strategy and M&A, General Counsel, and Business, Clients and Innovation), which have jurisdiction over all MAPFRE companies worldwide in terms of the development, implementation and monitoring of global, regional and local corporate policies.

The fact that the different MAPFRE companies belong to a business group implies, without prejudice to their legal autonomy, that they form an integral part of an organic structure which regulates their interrelations, the coordination of their activities, and the oversight of the controlled companies by the controlling ones and, in the final instance, by the parent company.

The MAPFRE S.A. Board of Directors is the senior management and supervisory body for the entire Group. It features a Steering Committee that acts within all of its powers, except those which cannot be ceded by law, bylaws or the regulations of the Board of Directors, and three delegate committees (Audit and Compliance, Appointments and Remuneration, and Risks).

The Executive Committee is the body which, under mandate from the Board of Directors, directly oversees the management of the business units and coordinates the Group's different areas and units. The Global Business Committee is also responsible for analyzing the development of MAPFRE's insurance business and services throughout the world, its compliance with approved plans, and proposing corrective or improvement measures for same.

The management, coordination and supervision of the activities of the different units and areas are carried out, according to the respective remit, by the local, regional and business unit management committees as well as the Executive Committee.

Each of the subsidiary companies has its own governing bodies, whose structure and complexity depend on the importance of their activities and any legal provisions that may be applicable. They usually have a board of directors and, depending on the importance of their activities, a management committee as well. In the case of shell or very small companies, these bodies are replaced by two administrators.

The Group's current organizational chart is as follows:

Body which, under mandate from the Board of Directors, directly oversees the management of the Business Units and coordinates the Group's different Areas and Units.

B) GOOD GOVERNANCE

MAPFRE has constantly and decidedly strived from the start to adopt the best corporate governance practices. MAPFRE's good governance practices are oriented towards creating sustained financial and social value over the long-term. The company's objective is to ensure financial stability and safeguard the interests of shareholders, while maximizing the positive impact on society as a whole.

MAPFRE is subject to the Spanish Companies Act and the Code of Good Governance for listed companies published by the Spanish Securities and Exchange Commission (CNMV).

It also has Institutional, Business and Organizational Principles that have been approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. which, together with its bylaws and the Board of Directors' Regulations, define the structure, composition and functions of each of its governing bodies and make up the minimum mandatory compliance framework for all of the companies in the MAPFRE Group and their respective governing bodies. MAPFRE's governance system is supplemented by a group of corporate policies1.

MAPFRE complies fully with 89.06 percent, and fully and partially with 98.37 percent of the recommendations set out in the CNMV Code of Good Governance for listed companies at 31 December 2017.

The 2017 Annual Corporate Governance Report offers a detailed explanation of the structure of MAPFRE's governance system and its operation in practice2, providing the minimum content established by Article 540 of the Spanish Companies Act.

OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK

The Group's activities were carried out through its Business Units in 2017.

The Insurance Business Unit is structured into Territorial and Regional Areas.

The IBERIA Territorial Area coincides with the Iberia Regional Area, which is made up of Spain and Portugal. The LATAM Territorial Area is subdivided into the Regional Areas of Brazil, LATAM North (Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama), and LATAM South (Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela). The INTERNATIONAL Territorial Area comprises the Regional Areas of North America (Canada, United States and Puerto Rico), EURASIA (which includes operations in Europe-except Spain and Portugal-the Middle East, Africa, Australia, China, Philippines, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan).

The MAPFRE distribution network is the largest in the Spanish insurance industry and also the largest belonging to a financial group in Latin America. MAPFRE is determined to maintain its own networks in the countries where it operates, which is compatible with the use of other distribution channels. Some of the key features behind the

In 2017 MAPFRE distributed its products through 7,487 bancassurance offices (of which 2,436 are located in Spain, 4,871 in Brazil, and 180 in the Dominican Republic).

It is the 11th largest insurer in Europe and is present in nearly every country in Latin America, where it is the leading Non-Life insurance group, with a market share of 7.6 percent (according to the figures for 2016, the latest available). Furthermore, the Group's reinsurance business (MAPFRE RE) occupies position number 16 in the global reinsurance ranking, while in the Assistance sector MAPFRE is the fourth largest company in the world.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS

ECONOMIC CONTEXT AND DEVELOPMENT OF INSURANCE MARKETS

Economic Context

General aspects

Global economic activity grew by 3.4 percent in 2017 within the context of a more synchronized cycle that accelerated in both developed and emerging economies. This data shows solid global growth supported by still lax monetary policies implemented by the G4 central banks (United States, Japan, Eurozone, United Kingdom), although in the United States the Federal Reserve is already starting to raise interest rates and it has defined a pathway to reducing its balance sheet, and the European Central Bank (ECB) has announced a schedule for monetary normalization.

Given the strength of the global economy, growth throughout the world in 2018 is expected to maintain the 2017 rate, which is anticipated to be around 3.7 percent, reflecting an acceleration in the contribution from developed markets (already above 2 percent) and emerging markets (around 4.9 percent). The latter are led by China's resilient growth and Brazil and Russia coming out of recessions. In general, the actual indicators are converging towards expectations, driven by global trade, property and plant investments and, in some countries, by investments in residential housing.

The United States and the Eurozone follow dynamics appropriate for developed countries (2.7 percent and 2.1 percent for 2018, respectively), while China continues to maintain its controlled deceleration agenda, targeting 6.3 percent in 2018. The context in other emerging markets is varied, depending on the global environment and, particularly, on the monetary policy implemented in the United States, as well as on idiosyncratic political and geopolitical factors.

Politics played a fundamental role in developed countries in 2017, but the political cycle in emerging countries (notably Latin America) will reach a zenith in 2018 with elections in Colombia, Brazil and Mexico, and in Argentina the following year. The cyclical recovery of Brazil and Russia also consolidated in 2017, while the effect on Mexico of the economic policy in the United States was lower than expected.

Inflation, which accelerated in developed markets during the first half of the year, lost traction due to a deceleration of underlying inflation and salary expectations through the end of 2017, though slight indications of recovery can be seen at the beginning of the year. Additionally, if oil prices maintain their current levels in 2018, a positive contribution to the rise of inflation throughout the year could be seen. The dynamism in employment in developed countries is still not translating into actual salary gains, which is a concern in terms of monetary policy as it puts the relationship between growth and inflation in question. Global inflation stood at around 3.5 percent at the end of the fourth quarter of 2017, bringing the average to above 3 percent over the course of the year, and developed markets saw a rate of 2 percent and emerging markets 4.5 percent.

The United States Federal Reserve raised interest rates in December, raising its upper target range to 1.5 percent. The reappointment of the Chairman and the Federal Reserve Board gives credence to a certain continuity as regards gradual future increases. More importantly, the Federal Reserve has already set a schedule for normalizing its balance sheet, and while it is believed to be gradual (approximately 1.3 trillion US dollars over three years, equivalent to one third of the stock accumulated since the start of the crisis), it will have repercussions on liquidity and the cost of global financing. In October the ECB announced that it is extending the asset purchase program for nine months (until September 2018), but it will reduce the rate of purchases to 30 billion euros. The schedule for monetary normalization in Europe was already anticipated, and any increase in interest rates before the end of 2019 has been ruled out.

The divergence of monetary policies in emerging markets remains in place. The same or a less restrictive bias is expected with respect to the monetary policy implemented by the Central Bank in Mexico, given the improved outlook for inflation. However, the need to accommodate political uncertainty and trade negotiations with the United States, together with the possible extraordinary financial effect of the September earthquakes, could alter this outlook. Given the low inflation and the still incipient economic activity in Brazil, monetary relaxation continued with a 50 basis point cut in interest rates in December, bringing it to the lowest level in recent history (7 percent). Turkey once again raised the marginal interest rate on credit facilities in order to control its currency, which is currently sharply down to around 3.8 TRL/USD.

A more detailed analysis of the most important markets in which MAPFRE operates is presented below:

Eurozone

The gross domestic product (GDP) in the Eurozone is visibly gaining traction, with a 2.8 percent growth rate during the third quarter, bringing the estimate for all of 2017 to 2.4 percent (year-on-year), with Spain and Germany leading the growth, while acceleration is also observed in France and Italy. The synchronized recovery of the global economic cycle and monetary stimuli in the Eurozone are clearly producing positive results. The estimate for 2018 is for GDP growth to be 2.1 percent. Exports are decisively contributing to growth after the spike in investments during the third quarter, while consumption remains flat and still has a margin for improvement. Average inflation in 2017 closed at 1.4 percent and underlying inflation at 0.9 percent, below the central bank's objective. The Euro Stoxx 50 index closed the year up 6.5 percent to 3,504 points after the publication of positive business data and the upward revision of growth expectations driven by the synchronized global recovery.

The ECB accepts the results obtained in terms of Eurozone growth, but given the fact that inflation continues to evade the objective, it has decided to extend the asset purchase program until September 2018, though reducing the purchase rate from 60 to 30 billion euros. Despite having announced the schedule for monetary normalization, there has been no indication of a reduction in its balance sheet or increases in interest rates. The expectation is that rate increases will only start to be seen once the asset purchase program is exhausted and the deposit rate has normalized (second half of 2019). Although economic activity continues to be solid, there are risks that could rapidly change the scenario. These include a disorderly exit from the European Union by the United Kingdom, and any future resurgence of the "convertibility risk3" associated with the Italian elections and the negotiations regarding the Greek write-down (which will restart in 2018).

<sup>3 The European Commission and Eurozone countries are aware of the defects in the design of Monetary Union, which in the long-term put the survival of the euro at risk. Germany and France are leading a project that will result in higher fiscal, political, banking and regulatory union. This will involve, among 137

Spain

Spain continues to lead growth among the large Eurozone economies. After recording 3.1 percent growth (year-on-year) during the third quarter of 2017, the same figure is expected for the year as a whole. The main factors that contributed to this strength include consumer and investor confidence, lax monetary conditions and job creation (unemployment fell to 16.4 percent during the third quarter). The most dynamic components of aggregate demand are exports and investments. It is noteworthy that investments in residential housing have begun to increase thanks to mortgage reactivation, as well as institutional investment flows into real estate. Spending remained strong, although slowing down, and increases would require higher actual gains in disposable income through salary increases, or certain fiscal encouragement, and not only savings resources. A slight deceleration in growth could be expected in 2018 due to, among other reasons, the effect the instability in Catalonia could have on investors and consumers (with an estimated effect of between -0.2 percent and -0.5 percent in growth that will have delayed confirmation over the course of 2018), as well as the fact that increasing oil prices will erode disposable income. The IBEX 35 index performed poorly from May (as a result of the instability in Catalonia and concerns in the banking sector - including the Banco Popular crisis), finishing the year at 10,044 points, a rise of 7.4 percent.

United States

GDP growth in the United States during the fourth quarter (3.2 percent) confirmed the strength of that economy, which allows for the forecast that it will end the year with 2.3 percent growth, driven by consumer spending and investments. Based on information up to November, employment continued to strengthen and the unemployment rate was 4.1 percent and underemployment was 8.1 percent. However, despite the strength of the job market, the moderation of growth in nominal and actual salaries is notable, which means that actual disposable income grew by 1.9 percent, and spending is being sustained mainly by savings erosion (the savings rate is 2.9 percent).

Despite the convergence of actual indicators and forecasts, the fact that indicators such as industrial production (+3.4 percent year-on-year) or capacity utilization (77 percent) are still far from the exuberance shown by the purchasing managers' index

other things, a common banking supervisor, a single banking resolution mechanism, a deposit guarantee fund, tax harmonization, a growing common budget and the possibility of issuing Eurobonds. Attaining these objectives will naturally require higher political union.

(PMI), which continues to grow with the hope that the government's reflation policy will materialize. Inflation stood at 2.1 percent in December. It is notable that underlying inflation remains low (1.8 percent), indicating that salary expectations are anchored, reflected by the extreme moderation of service prices (particularly those of a digital nature). The Federal Reserve's current guidance takes this into account. Monetary policy (which is tightening although it continues to be expansionary) shows caution regarding low inflation rates. At the October meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the sum and schedule of the process for normalizing the Federal Reserve balance sheet was announced, and it is expected to reduce the assets on the balance sheet by one third (1.3 trillion US dollars) over the next three years starting in October. Although at its December meeting the Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 25 basis points to 1.5 percent, the narrative of its action and the reconfiguration resulting from the appointment of the new Chairman (Jerome H. Powell) leads to the expectation that this gradual tightening will be maintained. Two additional interest rate increases are expected over the course of 2018.

The 10-year interest rate was at 2.4 percent at the end of the year, but a gradual flattening of the curve is expected as a result of the lowering of the term premium, given the absence of structural inflation and the persistence of duration risk. As a result, the dollar ended the year lower than the December forecast at around 1.2 dollars to the euro, essentially due to the tightening of long rate spreads with the Eurozone. The S&P 500 closed the year at 2,674 points, showing a rise of 19.4 percent in U.S. dollars, (4.8 percent in euros).

Brazil

GDP in Brazil grew by 1.4 percent (year-on-year) in the third quarter of 2017, confirming the exit from recession and, therefore, the outlook for average growth over the year would be 1.1 percent year-on-year), suggesting GDP growth of 2.5 percent for 2018. The advance recorded by the Brazilian economy was fundamentally supported by improvements in spending and investments. The sustained reduction in inflation (3 percent year-on-year in December) allowed the Central Bank to cut interest rates seven times over the course of 2017, bringing the SELIC (overnight interest rate) to 7 percent in December. If inflation continues to moderate, the Brazilian Central Bank is expected to maintain interest rates at around, though lower than, 7 percent in 2018, making the most of the final phase of lax monetary policies, as it is foreseeable that it begins to raise rates the following year.

Brazil needs to continue with structural reforms to balance its public accounts (though the primary deficit met the administration's objective of -2.5 percent of the GDP in 2017, the total fiscal deficit for that year is estimated at -8.5 percent of the GDP), make them sustainable and strengthen its credit rating. The most important reforms involve the pension and tax systems, which are key to reducing the deficit and sustaining debt levels. There will be presidential elections in October 2018, and no additional reforms are anticipated before that time. The administration of President Michel Temer has approved other structural reforms which, although of lower impact, are important for strengthening confidence in the country. In the market, the BOVESPA index celebrated the end of the economic recession by rising 26.9 percent during the year in local currency (9.3 percent in euros), closing at 76,402 points.

Turkey

Turkey is under market pressure due to the lack of foreign investor appetite for its bonds. The 10-year bond carries an 11.7 percent yield, while the bond rate curve in local currency continues to be inverted. Among other factors, this is due to a complex internal political context and increased tension with the European Union and the United States, which led Turkey to withdraw from joint NATO military maneuvers in November. In this context, the Turkish lira has accelerated its downward trend to around 4 TRY/USD, although the depreciation recently corrected. Inflation remains outside the Central Bank's objective (which is 5 percent), and was 12.9 percent in November, despite the fact that the Central Bank's benchmark interest rate was 8 percent (the 1-week repo rate), and the effective economic policy rate, corresponding to the marginal rate for credit facilities, was above 13 percent.

The growth in the Turkish economy has been sustained thanks to stimulus policies and, in particular, the government-backed credit supply, which maintained quarterly GDP growth at above 2 percent up to the third quarter of the year. However, a moderate deceleration has started to be perceived and GDP growth for the entire year will be close to 5.8 percent. The BIST 100 stock market index grew by 21.5 percent in euros and 48.8 percent in local currency, bringing it close to 142,000 points.

Mexico

The Mexican economy contracted by -0.3 percent during the third quarter of 2017, thereby canceling the 0.3 percent growth seen in the preceding quarter. This means that the estimate for the entire year is slightly less than the estimate for long-term growth, which is around 2.3 percent per year. This deceleration was partly caused by a contraction in the manufacturing sector (oil, construction and textiles) and a deferral of investments as a result of the uncertainty associated with the stagnation of trade negotiations with the United States and Canada (NAFTA). The latter gave rise to a new decline in the peso to 19 MXN/USD (compared to 17.7 the preceding quarter). In the absence of new shocks, the expectation is that the exchange rate will remain within the range of 19-18 MXN/USD throughout 2018, with a higher margin for depreciation as the end of the NAFTA negotiations draws closer and the election campaign starts.

Inflation was 6.8 percent in December, partly reflecting the depreciation of the peso, although still resisting the impact of the local adjustment to gasoline prices and the materialization of second-round salary effects. The Bank of Mexico raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 7.25 percent at its December meeting, and based on the inflation, business and exchange rate data, there is no reason to foresee a change. However, all of this may change based on the tightening of the monetary conditions in the United States. Finally, the CPI Index at the Mexican Stock Market closed the year at 49,354 points, having risen 8.3 percent in local currency (-0.5 percent in euros).

Development of Insurance Markets

Spanish Market4

In 2017, the volume of direct insurance premiums written in the Spanish insurance market suffered a slight decline of 0.7 percent with respect to the same period of the previous year. The good performance of the Non-Life business lines (3.9 percent growth) was offset by the negative change in Life premiums, which fell by -5.6 percent.

Most of the business lines in the Non-Life segment continued to grow, although at a lower rate than in 2016, and there was good performance in the larger premium volume lines of Automobile, Health and Multi-peril lines of business. As was the case in 2016, the increases in rates and the higher sales of new vehicles favored the growth of Automobile insurance (3.4 percent).

Life insurance premiums decreased by 5.6 percent, while Life Risk insurance was flat and Life Savings, which accounts for 85 percent of this segment, was down by 6.5 percent. Breaking down the Life business by individual and group policies, according to the most recent data published to September 2017, issuing of individual policies fell by 3.8 percent, despite the good performance of Unit-Linked policies, which grew by 66 percent, while group Life policies declined by 6.5 percent.

Based on the data available to September 2017, the technical profitability of Non-Life lines of business deteriorated on a relative basis compared to the same period last year, as a result of an increase in the loss ratio by 1.3 percent. Contrary to 2016, when there was a significant improvement in the combined ratio for multi-peril insurance, over the first nine months of 2017 the combined ratio for this line of business increased 8.3 percent, mainly due to the increase in the loss ratio as a result of the adverse weather conditions during the first few months of the year. However, Automobile and Health insurance saw improvements in their technical results.

Technical provisions for Life insurance totaled 183,519 million euros in December 2017, which is a 3.2 percent increase compared with the previous December. The equity in Mutual Funds grew by 11.7 percent during that same period, which is proof of lower risk aversion on the part of Spanish savers. Finally, the volume of pension fund assets managed rose to 111,077 million euros in 2017, a year-on-year increase of 4 percent.

The latest data published by the Latin American supervisors referring to June, September and November 2017, (the latest official information available), shows that most of the markets in the region increased premium volume in nominal terms, with varying performance in each of the countries and segments. While some have slowed growth, others are reflecting double-digit growth, particularly in the smaller markets. However, declines in premium income was seen in three of the largest markets: Puerto Rico, Chile and Peru.

Throughout 2017 the Non-Life segment has shown positive performance in practically all Latin American countries, with the exception of Ecuador, Peru and Puerto Rico. The Automobile and Fire lines in Peru - the biggest lines by volume - showed decreases, while in Puerto Rico, a drop in Health insurance premiums contributed to the decline. In Mexico, there was a considerable increase in the Non-Life lines of business in the country as a result of the renewal of the comprehensive insurance policy for Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX).

Life insurance showed uneven performance in the three largest markets: growth slowed in the region's principal market, Brazil, due to a slowdown of the Vida gerador de benefício livre (VGBL) product, while Mexico grew by 4.9 percent, with Chile sliding on the back of reduced annuity premiums.

Automobile insurance showed positive development in most Latin American markets, with the exception of Brazil and Peru. In December 2016, the National Private Insurance Counsel in Brazil (CNSP) approved new mandatory Automobile insurance rates at the proposal of the Private Insurance Superintendent (SUSEP), which started to be applied in January 2017 and gave rise to a significant reduction compared to the rates that were in force, explaining the decline in premiums for Automobile insurance.

Other Markets

United States

The information available from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) in the United States regarding the first half of 2017 shows that Non-Life insurance grew by 4.7 percent, Life insurance by 3.9 percent and Health insurance by 6 143 percent, compared to the same period the preceding year. The good performance of the US economy is contributing to this growth. The process of monetary normalization is also making advances. As interest rates rise and are transferred throughout the curve, the growth of Life businesses could be limited, thereby creating a less favorable environment despite the good performance of the US economy.

Turkey

Based on figures from June 2017 (the latest available), the insurance market in Turkey presented 9.3 percent growth. Automobile insurance continues to be the primary line of business within Non-Life insurance, but it has lost relative weight compared to the rest of the lines of business and represented 47 percent of total Non-Life premiums compared to 55 percent previously. The main reason for this lies in the decline in thirdparty damage Automobile insurance premiums (-23.3 percent), partially offset by the 22.2 percent growth in own damage insurance, even though this represents a lower percentage of premiums. It should be noted that the establishment of a price control system for mandatory Automobile insurance is also having a negative influence on this performance. The Health and Accident lines of business are gaining relative weight, and Home and Business insurance saw premiums grow by nearly 20 percent.

Figures in millions of euros

The Group's consolidated revenue reached 27.9 billion euros, with growth of 3.3 percent, which strengthened the upward trend of the last few years.

Premiums from direct insurance and accepted reinsurance, which represent a fundamental part of revenue, reached 23.5 billion euros, with notable growth of 2.9 percent, primarily backed by the increase in premiums in Spain, Mexico, Central America, and the Global Risks Business Unit.

This increase in premium growth is framed in the Group's strategic line of "profitable growth", which aims to improve profitability mainly in Non-Life insurance. As a result, in 2017, the cancellation of unprofitable policies has continued, for an amount of approximately 530 million euros, mainly in Autos and General P&C, which partially conditions growth.

Non-Life premiums grew by 2.6 percent, while Life premiums reached relevant growth of 4.2 percent.

By Non-Life business type, Automobile is the most important line, with 7.3 billion euros in premiums and a decrease of 1.4 percent due primarily to the portfolio reduction in Brazil, Mexico and Turkey. General P&C holds second place, with 6.3 billion euros and growth of 10.3 percent, driven by the PEMEX policy in Mexico for 545 million dollars; and Health and Accidents is in third place with 1.2 billion euros in premiums and 1.2 nercent decrease.

Gross revenue from investments reached 2.8 billion euros, below the previous period, due to the recurrent low-interest rate environment in Europe and the fall in interest rates in Brazil and other LATAM countries, as well as lower financial gains.

Finally, other revenue, which mainly includes non-insurance activity and non-technical revenue, reflects an increase primarily from higher revenue from positive currency conversion differences, as well as from the cancellation of a reserve for contingent payments in the bancassurance channel in Spain totaling 29 million euros, as the necessary level of certain long-term objectives were not reached.

The attributable result reached 700.5 million euros, decreasing by 9.7 percent, primarily due to the following events occurring in 2017:

    1. The impact of the catastrophic events in the third quarter, which carried a net cost of 125.6 million euros.
    1. The drop in net financial income due mainly to the fall in interest rates in Brazil and other LATAM countries, as well as the recurrent low-interest rate environment in Europe.
    1. The cancellation of certain assets and liabilities, primarily intangible assets and provisions for risks and expenses recorded in 2011 as a result of the bancassurance alliance carried out in Brazil, which had a positive impact of 28 million euros for Group results. This impact is reflected under the heading for financial income and other non-technical income and expenses.
    1. The approval of a tax reform in the United States, which reduced tax rates that affect our undertakings in this country as of 2018 and that requires that all 146

deferred tax assets and liabilities are updated at the close of 2017 to this new tax rate. The net impact implied a reduction in tax liabilities, and as such, an increase in net result for MAPFRE Group of 37.8 million euros.

Non-Life

Non-Life results reached 946 million euros, with a reduction of 23.2 percent compared to the previous period.

2017 was affected by hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, that hit the Atlantic coast of North America and the Caribbean in the third quarter, by the earthquakes in Mexico in September, and by the "Coastal El Niño" which affected Peru and Colombia in February. The net impact (loss retention after taxes and non-controlling interests) of these natural catastrophes on MAPFRE Group attributable results to December 31, 2017, is 125.6 million euros for the insurance entities, and 183.8 million euros including MAPFRE RE.

These events have had a direct impact on the Group's Non-Life loss ratio, which stands at 70.7 percent (0.7 percentage points higher than the same period the previous year).

In addition to the events listed above, other events have taken place during the year that have impacted the Non-Life result, the most significant being:

    1. Remarkable improvement in the result of the Auto line in Spain.
    1. Improvements in the technical result in the majority of lines and countries and LATAM and EURASIA.
    1. Lower than expected results in the Auto line in the U.S., Brazil, and Mexico, primarily due to the elevated claims frequency.
    1. Several large claims in the MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS portfolio over the course of the year.

Life

Life results grew to 720 million euros, with a decrease of 3.6 percent compared to the previous period. IBERIA's contribution to earnings stands out, both for its improvement in margins as well as for the effect of the cancellation of a reserve for contingent payments in the bancassurance channel totaling 29 million euros. It is worth highlighting the earnings contribution of protection products sold through the bank channel in Brazil, despite the difficult context our companies operate in, in this country.

The end of the alliance between MAPFRE and Banco CEISS generated net accounting gains of 5.8 million euros and MAPFRE PERU's sale of its annuity portfolio contributed 4 million euros in net gains to MAPFRE Group.

Other aspects

Taxes on profits decreased significantly, due to the following:

    1. From the lower results for the period deriving from the catastrophic events, and the fall in the recurring result in Brazil.
    1. The updated tax rate for deferred tax liabilities in our companies in the United States, as a result of the recently approved tax reform in the country, which has lowered tax expenses by 37.8 million euros.

Finally, the attributable result to non-controlling interests has fallen, mainly deriving from the lower results contributed from our insurance operation in Brazil.

Figures in millions of euros

Total assets reached 67.6 billion euros as on December 31, 2017 and fell 0.5 percent compared to the previous year. The most relevant changes are analyzed below:

    1. The lower amount of intangible assets to December 2017 comes from the deterioration of goodwill on consolidation and other intangible assets from the Non-Life business in Brazil, as well as from the effect of the depreciation of the US dollar and the Brazilian real, currencies in which key intangible assets are listed on the balance sheet at the close of the year.
    1. The changes in Financial Investments, as well as in the headings for Assets and Liabilities from insurance and reinsurance operations are a result of the 150

business management process itself. The increase in technical provisions and in reinsurance participation in technical provisions is in line with the increase in gross reserves from the claims registered from the catastrophic events occurring in September and the corresponding cession to reinsurers. At the same time, the increase in reinsurance participation in technical provisions also corresponds to the PEMEX policy issued in Mexico, which has been highly ceded to reinsurers.

  1. As a result of Banco CEISS exercising its call option for the whole of the Group's shares in the undertakings Duero Vida and Duero Pensiones, at December 31, 2016 the headings "Assets and liabilities held for sale" included assets for the amount of 879.9 million euros and associated liabilities for the amount of 689.3 million euros, corresponding to both dependent undertakings.

In 2017, in the "Assets held for sale" heading of the balance sheet, only the fair value of the assets resulting from the sale is included in the balance sheet, which produced an accounting net gain of 5.8 million euros.

  1. Changes in equity correspond to the earnings from the period and the distribution of dividends, as well as to changes in value of investments available for sale and currency conversion differences of financial accounts denominated in currencies other than the euro.

Funds under Management

The following charts show the performance of managed savings, including both technical provisions of Life insurance companies, and the Life provisions of multiline insurance companies, which are presented in the Group's consolidated balance sheet.

In addition to the Life insurance operations, MAPFRE manages its clients' savings through pension and mutual funds.

Figures in millions of euros

In the information regarding managed savings in 2016 and 2017, UNIÓN DUERO VIDA and DUERO PENSIONES are not included, as at that time they were already classified as assets-held-for-sale.

Changes in managed savings with respect to December of the previous year reflect:

    1. The reduction in Life technical provisions, from the fall in the portfolio as a result of redemptions, mainly in the bancassurance channel in Spain.
    1. The reduction in the value of managed savings in Brazil and other countries outside of the Eurozone from the depreciation of their currencies.
    1. The growth in pension and mutual funds, fruit of MAPFRE's strategy to push Asset Management as an alternative to traditional Life Savings products, which are less attractive to clients in the current low-interest rate environment.

Figures in millions of euros

The most significant aspects are:

    1. Premiums and results show very solid growth in IBERIA, with excellent performance in the Auto line and the contribution of Spain's result to the Group.
    1. Premiums in BRAZIL show positive results compared to last year, from the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the Brazilian real, although there is no growth in the original currency. The lower result is a consequence of a lower financial result due to the drop in interest rates in Brazil in 2017 and of the increase in acquisition costs and high loss experience in Auto.
    1. LATAM NORTH shows premium growth of 37.6 percent to December from the issuing of the PEMEX policy for a two-year coverage period. The region's earnings reflect the discrete result in Mexico due to the high loss ratio in Automobiles and the impact of catastrophic events on the GLOBAL RISKS business.
    1. LATAM SOUTH experienced an increase in results, thanks to the favorable evolution of the insurance business in Colombia and Peru. However, this

improvement was offset by the negative impact of a severe claim in the GLOBAL RISKS business in Peru, due to the heavy rains caused by weather related to "Coastal El Niño".

    1. NORTH AMERICA has growth containment in premiums and lower due to the high loss experience in the Auto line in the United States, and to the impact of the catastrophic events on the insurance and GLOBAL RISKS businesses, which had strong economic repercussions on Puerto Rico's results.
    1. EURASIA experienced a drop in premiums, primarily due to Turkey, as a result of growth containment in compulsory Third Party Liability for Auto insurance. It is important to point out the extraordinary improvement in results in Turkey, as well as favorable development of business in Italy. However, EURASIA presented losses of 62.2 million euros, due to the negative results of ASISTENCIA in the United Kingdom and certain large claims in GLOBAL RISKS. ABDA business is included as of June 2017.

The most important changes are:

    1. Premiums show significant growth in all business units, with the exception of ASISTENCIA, mainly as a result of the current business restructuring, and INTERNATIONAL due to the previously mentioned growth containment in premiums in North America and the lower issuing in Turkey.
    1. Results have evolved positively in insurance entities in IBERIA, LATAM and INTERNATIONAL, with 12.6 percent growth in the insurance business units at the close of December 2017.
    1. MAPFRE RE continues to contribute positively to the Group, both in premiums and in results, reaching earnings of 162.7 million euros to December 2017, despite the catastrophic events that took place during the year, which have had an attributable net cost of 58.2 million euros for this company.
    1. MAPFRE ASISTENCIA is highly affected by losses in the United Kingdom and by business restructuring.
    1. GLOBAL RISKS is negatively affected by the catastrophic events that occurred during the year, that have had an attributable net cost of 77.4 million euros for this company, and by large claims that have been impacting it this whole year.

Figures in millions of euros

Excellent performance of premiums in IBERIA, with 3.8 percent growth.

Non-Life premiums grew by 3.2 percent, and reflect the positive development of the Auto, Health, and Third Party Liability business and the majority of the Non-Life personal and commercial lines. This compensated for lower issuing in Combined Agricultural Insurance (SAC).

Life premiums picked up by 5.2 percent, thanks to the bancassurance savings line. This growth is especially noteworthy, keeping in mind that in 2016 a group savings policy was issued for the amount of 133 million euros, without any similar operations having been recorded in 2017.

Result

Figures in millions of euros

IBERIA's attributable result reached 511.5 million euros with fall of 4.6 percent compared to the previous period. It is important to bear in mind that last year, this region registered a significant gain of 88 million euros net of taxes in the third quarter of the year, from the sale of MAPFRE tower.

The technical result of Non-Life business improved as a result of the containment of the loss ratio and the reduction in the expense ratio, which improved thanks to the rigorous cost containment policy in place in recent years in Spain. It is important to highlight the significant improvement in the Non-Life combined ratio, which stood at 90.8 percent at the close of 2017 and the impairment of the General P&C combined ratio, affected by adverse weather conditions.

The Life business shows an important improvement in its result from the cancellation of a reserve for contingent payments in the bancassurance channel totaling 29 million euros before taxes (27.2 million euros after taxes).

86.7 million euros in capital gains on financial investments, net, were recorded (102.2 million to December 2016), mainly in equity.

$\overline{a}$

In the fourth quarter, MAPFRE in Spain implemented an early retirement plan for MAPFRE ESPAÑA, MAPFRE VIDA, and MAPFRE TECH employees, for a cost of 35 million euros.

Finally, in 2017, real estate transactions were made, generating net earnings of 36 million euros in MAPFRE ESPAÑA (88 million euros in 2016 from the sale of Mapfre Tower).

Results

The attributable result in the LATAM Territorial Area went up at December 2017, as a result of the growth in profits from LATAM SOUTH thanks to the positive development of businesses in Peru and Colombia. On the other hand, the stagnant results of LATAM NORTH originate in the higher loss ratio in the Auto line in Mexico. Brazil presented negative development due to the lower financial result from the fall in interest rates, the increase in acquisition costs and the high combined ratio in Autos.

Results

The attributable result in NORTH AMERICA was affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, which significantly impacted Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Florida. The positive evolution of EURASIA's attributable result came from the significant increase in the result in Turkey thanks to rate updates and to the lower loss experience in Auto, as well as lower losses from the business in Italy.

Results

The net result reached 162.7 million euros, with a 12.6 percent fall due to the catastrophic events of the year, which have an attributable net cost for the Group of 58.2 million euros, with the following breakdown by event:

MAPFRE RE
Hurricane Harvey 7.0
Hurricane Irma 5.4
Hurricane Maria 25.8
Mexico earthquakes 15.3
Coastal El Niño 4.7
TOTAL 58.2

Figures in millions of euros

It is important to mention the high contribution of MAPFRE RE's non-catastrophic risk portfolios to the result, as the company presents high levels of profitability.

The increase in earned premiums in the fourth quarter of the year comes from a reduction of the provision for unearned premiums, as a result of the change in actuarial estimates for earned premiums in the XL business, based on the additional historic information obtained this year.

The financial result stayed below that of the previous year, from lower realized financial gains. Net realized financial gains to December reached 38.1 million euros, compared to 42.2 million euros the previous year, mainly in equity.

MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS

This business unit specializes in global insurance programs for large multinational companies (e.g. aviation insurance policies, nuclear risks and energy insurance policies, third party liability insurance policies, fire insurance policies, engineering insurance policies, transport insurance policies and suretyship).

Premiums

MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS premiums reached 1.3 billion euros, an increase of 3.7 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. The breakdown by regional area shows growth for the business underwritten in LATAM NORTH and EURASIA, where double-digit premium growth was registered.

Results

MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS closed 2017 with important losses. The deterioration of the combined ratio, which stood at 135.4 percent, reflects the increase in the loss ratio which reached 104.3 percent (34.7 percentage points above the same period of the previous year). This is primarily due to the catastrophic events that have an attributable net cost of 77.4 million euros, as well as from the larger claims throughout the year, which consist of large claims in: EURASIA, as a result of a fire in a refinery in Abu Dhabi and a claim in an aluminum plant in Oman; and in LATAM NORTH, from the sinking of an offshore power generation platform in Panama.

The breakdown of the attributable net cost for the Group from the catastrophic events that occurred in 2017 is as follows:

MAPFRE
GLOBAL RISKS
Hurricane Harvey 11.3
Hurricane Irma 18.8
Hurricane Maria 16.9
Mexico earthquakes 10.5
Coastal El Niño 19.9
TOTAL 77.4

Figures in millions of euros

There was also a 3.2 percentage point increase in expenses, placing the expense ratio at 31.1 percent at the close of December, due to an increase in acquisition costs, both from market pressure regarding commissions paid to ceding companies as well as from commissions received for retrocession.

The technical result reflects the previously mentioned increase in claims and expenses. The financial result presents net financial gains of 9.4 million euros (19 million euros in the same period of 2016).

SOLUNION performed positively, with growth in premium and results.

Finally, in December 2017, the companies MAPFRE GLOBAL RISK and SOLUNION signed an agreement by means of which MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS committed to carry out the necessary activity in order for its current surety line clients to renew their policies with 165

SOLUNION as of January 1, 2018, and as such exiting operations in the surety line, limiting activity to run-off management. The consideration from this agreement has implied an extraordinary result of 5 million euros before taxes for the Group.

MAPFRE ASISTENCIA specializes in travel assistance, roadside assistance, and other special risks of the Group.

Figures in millions of euros

Premiums

The reduction in revenue and premiums in the ASISTENCIA unit is primarily a consequence of the current business restructuring. Measures like the cancelation of loss-making business, raising prices, or renegotiating economic conditions with some large clients are being adopted in the Assistance and the Travel Insurance businesses, and this impacts the evolution of revenue and premium growth.

Results

Losses to December 2017 reached 68.4 million euros. Deterioration of the combined ratio, which stood at 103.7 percent, is fundamentally due to the increase in expenses, both in administration as a result of the drop in business volume, as well as acquisition expenses for higher sales costs coming from the increase in business coming from aggregators.

The loss ratio improved, reaching 67.1 percent, 3.4 percentage points below the same period of the previous year, though the ratio is still very high due to the losses coming from the negative run-offs from the Travel Insurance and Specialty Risks businesses in the United Kingdom.

At December, costs were provisioned for the closing and liquidation of various MAPFRE ASISTENCIA service companies for a total net amount of 10.4 million euros, which includes the exit of MAPFRE ASISTENCIA in Japan.

RELEVANT CORPORATE EVENTS

The definitive closing of the transaction is subject to the authorization of the Directorate General for Insurance and Pension Funds.

Acquisition of 31 percent of ABDA.

MAPFRE acquired an additional 31 percent interest in the Indonesian insurance company "PT BINA DANA ARTA" (ABDA) on June 12, 2017.

Since MAPFRE already owned 20 percent of the capital of ABDA, this acquisition gives it a controlling shareholding in the company and control over its management.

Integration of the Regional Areas EMEA and APAC into EURASIA.

MAPFRE's operations in the regions of EMEA and APAC have been merged into one new region called EURASIA, affecting operations as of January 1, 2018.

ISSUES RELATING TO THE ENVIRONMENT, SECURITY AND EMPLOYEES

Environment

One of the ways in which MAPFRE builds trust with its stakeholders is by promoting a sustainable environment in which to pursue its activities.

In 2017, MAPFRE continued its initiatives to ensure compliance with the commitments assumed in the corporate environment policy approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. and reviewed in 2015 to include new commitments such as biodiversity preservation and the fight against climate change.

MAPFRE carries out Environment Management actions under the guidelines defined by the triple Integrated Environment, Energy and Carbon Footprint System (hereinafter SIGMAYE), in accordance with international standards ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and ISO 14064.

The transversal design and the global nature of the SIGMAYE allows both corporate and specific local objectives to be established, thereby assuring compliance with applicable legislation and providing minimum criteria for compliance in countries in which legislation is less developed.

Group companies at 35 locations in Spain, Brazil, Columbia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Paraguay, Portugal, Argentina and Chile have already obtained environmental certificates. In 2017 the Corporate Environment Management System was adapted to the new requirements established by the Standard UNE-EN-ISO 14001:2015 in those countries.

The expansion of the scope of UNE-EN-ISO 14064 continues and the carbon footprint of the companies located in Spain, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Portugal has been verified.

The execution of the actions defined in the Energy Efficiency and Climate Change Strategic Plan has continued with the objective of reducing the Group's emissions by 20 percent in 2020 and that objective was obtained three years earlier than projected, which has led the company to committing to more ambitious challenges in both the medium and long-term with a 2050 time horizon, at which time it hopes to attain CO2 neutrality.

For the third year running, the Group's initiatives in this area earned recognition from the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) of MAPFRE as a global leader in taking action on climate change, and the Group was included on the CDP Global Climate A-list.

Since joining the Biodiversity Pact included within the Spanish Companies and Biodiversity Initiative, MAPFRE published a report on its 2013-2015 results together with the rest of the member companies, and it has also continued its work regarding the protection of an endangered species and the preservation of its habitat, choosing the turtle and the Mediterranean Sea for this year.

As part of the integration of the environment into the business in terms of biodiversity protection, the Group has also committed to the initiative led by the UN-supported NGO OCEANA, to protect the oceans and, specifically, to eliminate illegal fishing by not insuring those activities.

That integration of the environment into the business also notably includes the inclusion, free of charge, of Environmental Liability coverage in commercial policies, with more than 152,000 policies benefitting from this action. These steps fall within the United Nations Global Agreement to which MAPFRE has committed.

The company promotes environmental responsibility through Corporate Volunteering and this year it organized the first corporate volunteering day simultaneously throughout the world with the slogan "Everyone for the Environment". More than 1,000 employees in 24 countries, together with their families, performed reforestation tasks in degraded areas, removed trash from beaches and rivers and improved and maintained hiking trails and parks, among other things, demonstrating the commitment of employees in this aspect.

Security

During 2017, work continued to make normal operations possible by adequately protecting MAPFRE's property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of the Security Policy approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. in 2015. This all took place in a particularly complex environment, due to the growing number, sophistication and impact of cyber attacks and the increase in instability in areas in which the Group carries on its business.

Various important corporate projects regarding cyber risks were launched to increase the capability to protect against cyber attacks, seeking a global scope of the actions taken and improved cost efficiencies.

In order to provide added value to the business, expert advice has been provided to define cyber risk insurance products and the Group worked to increase the rollout of digital signature capabilities in more processes, whether internal, with other companies or with our clients.

With the objective of contributing to the sustainability of operations and compliance with our Social Responsibility policy regarding fighting fraud, we continued to tighten our collaboration with the police and security forces and have rolled out early warning systems for anomalous situations that may potentially be fraudulent, based on the use of the corporate technological platforms that have been developed internally.

We have worked intensely to adapt MAPFRE to the new General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union by developing 16 corporate projects regarding data protection and privacy that cover that adaptation and affect practically all of the processes carried out by Group companies.

We continued to work on the update and improvement of crisis management and business continuity procedures covering the survival (resilience) of operations, as well as the verification of their effectiveness, by testing the various strategies that have been implemented in accordance with the Business Continuity Policy approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A in 2015.

In turn, the effectiveness of the resources to handle these situations was tested in MAPFRE's response to real crisis situations resulting from the hurricanes Irma and Maria in the United States, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, the earthquakes in Mexico and Chile or the terrorist attacks in Spain in August, during which the Group was able to respond to the security needs of employees and maintain continuity of service for clients, despite the enormous difficulties those situations created.

The Human Resources area supports the transformation of the business and is responsible for providing the talent that is necessary for success by training employees. This area is also responsible for guaranteeing a healthy, diverse and collaborative working environment.

Employee management is particularly relevant in a global company such as MAPFRE, and some of the most important aspects are the integration of different generations of employees within the company, maximizing the knowledge of each person; utilizing the benefits afforded by new technologies and social media in human resources processes; reinforcing internal communication to ensure that the MAPFRE strategy, objectives, culture and values reach all employees; designing career plans that are underpinned by a mutual commitment between the company and its workers-on the part of the company, to the professional development of its employees, and on the part of employees, to the strategy and values of the organization; and a firm commitment to the occupational and geographic mobility of employees to ensure that the organization has global versatile teams at its disposal.

The MAPFRE Group applies policies approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. covering all Group employees.

The Diversity and Equal Opportunity Policy is intended to make a public commitment to both gender diversity and functional diversity by attaining a minimum of a 40 percent female headcount in management and executive positions throughout the world by 2018. This has resulted in the definition of a global action framework to strengthen equality in all employee management processes.

The Group is also firmly committed to the inclusion of people with disabilities in the workforce, and by 2018 this collective will make up 2 percent of the headcount. Since 2015, the Group has had a Global Disability Program in place that has been implemented in every country, and it includes measures to promote integration and a culture of awareness.

MAPFRE does business all over the world and its employees come from 81 nationalities, giving the Group great cultural diversity and providing it with the talent it needs to manage its business.

The Personal Respect Policy guarantees a working environment that does not tolerate any manifestation of harassment or violent or offensive behavior against the rights and dignity of others. The Group expressly opposes and does not tolerate any harassment in the workplace, regardless of the identity of the victim or the harassing person. This commitment must be complied with in relationships among employees, and in those relationships between employees and providers, clients, collaborators and other stakeholders, and it also extends to all of the organizations with which MAPFRE works.

The Promotion, Selection and Mobility Policy encourages professional development opportunities for employees in order to increase their employability, their professional satisfaction and their commitment to the company.

In 2017, international mobility enabled 108 employees to relocate their job positions to another country.

Furthermore, the employee collaboration spaces set up on the corporate Intranet facilitate access to diverse teams while promoting creativity and the sharing of ideas and good practices.

Events involving the various generations continued in 2017, which also saw the launch of the global mentoring program.

The company's objective is to encourage a teamwork culture while working in collaboration within an agile organization. MAPFRE has a universal task and job map for global use, which assists in the definition of strategic profiles and knowledge within the organization. The Group is also working on the global implementation of flexi-time, technological mobility and process and objective-based work.

The Remuneration Policy is intended to set appropriate pay levels for each function and job and performance by professionals, and to serve as a source of motivation and satisfaction for staff, thus encouraging them to reach their objectives and deliver on MAPFRE's strategy. That policy also guarantees equality, internal and external competitiveness in each market, and forms part of the internal development of employees.

Performance Evaluation allows employees to be aware of their objectives and receive continuous feedback regarding their work performance, while improving communications with their manager, and reaching consensus regarding an action plan focusing on their professional development. In 2017, evaluations were completed on 30,666 employees, representing 84.5 percent of the workforce.

The objective of the Policy on Health, Well-being and Prevention of Occupational Risks is to protect and promote a safe and healthy workplace and improve the health of our employees and their families, both within and beyond the workplace.

To facilitate the well-being and work-life balance, MAPFRE offers its employees a wide range of company benefits, which accounted for an investment of 180.5 million euros in 2017.

The employee experience area was created at corporate level over the course of 2017 and it includes well-being and health, volunteering, actions related to Great Place to Work and internal communications with employees.

Figures in millions of euros

For MAPFRE, as on December 31, the actively managed portfolios in Iberia, MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS and MAPFRE RE had unrealized net gains in assets and mutual funds of 130 million euros.

Real estate

The real estate strategy for 2017 focused on divesting from non-strategic assets. A prudent attitude has been adopted with respect to investments in new assets, since the capitalization rates for the top-tier property segment are very low and an increase in interest rates in 2018 could affect the value of the acquired portfolios or assets. The target product segment is office buildings in city centers, with high occupancy rates and leased out over the long-term.

In 2017, approval was given for the creation of a group investment vehicle located in Luxembourg, with underlying real estate assets, which will be managed by MAPFRE INVERSIÓN, and will focus on office buildings in Paris, Germany and the Netherlands.

Divestments totaling approximately 130 million euros took place during the year, of which 124.5 million euros relate to the Iberia Regional Area. Notable sales included land in Valdemarín (Madrid) for 5.5 million euros, the Luchana building in Madrid for 72 million euros, and two plots of land in Palma de Mallorca for 22.5 million, together with smaller assets for a total of 24.5 million euros. All together, these operations by the Iberia Regional Area generated gains in excess of 65 million euros.

Investments were also made to improve the buildings held in the portfolio.

Construction work at Calle Sor Ángela de la Cruz in Madrid totaling 8 million euros where the Madrid Regional General Management is located was completed. Similarly, the property at Plaza de la Independencia was refurbished at a cost of 7.39 million 177 euros, and 70 percent of the usable space has now been leased. Remodeling work commenced at the facilities located on Calle Mateo Inurria, which are fully leased to the Ministry of Finance for 5.04 million euros per year, while the improvements to the offices at CalleGeneral Perón continue, with the investment made in 2017 totaling 5.81 million euros.

Furthermore, work continued at the Torre de Barcelona, where expenditure totaled 22 million euros in 2017, with completion expected in March 2018.

At the close of 2017, the market value of MAPFRE's real estate investments amounted to 2,945 million euros, with unrealized gains in excess of 750 million euros. Of the total, approximately 58 percent corresponds to own-use facilities and 42 percent to for-profit facilities, either for lease or sale to third parties. The occupancy rate of the buildings leased to third parties is 83 percent, and there are currently more than 7,500m2 being refurbished for repositioning in the market from 2018 on.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital structure

The chart below shows the composition of the capital structure at the close of 2017:

Figures in millions of euros

Capital structure reached 12.8 billion euros, of which 82 percent corresponds to equity.

The Group has a leverage ratio of 18.1 percent, with an increase of 2 percentage points as a result of the two debt issuances carried out in 2016 and 2017.

In May 2016, 1 billion euros of senior 10-year bonds were issued, with a fixed interest rate of 1.625 percent.

In March 2017, MAPFRE successfully placed the notes of a 30-year subordinated bond, with a call option at ten years, for a total of 600 million euros, with a fixed interest rate set at 4.375 percent for the first ten years. The funds coming from this transaction were used to further strengthen the Group's financial flexibility, and diversify its financing sources, as well as to redeem in advance the total amount of the "First Issue of Subordinated Notes of MAPFRE S.A." on July 24, 2017, which is the first call date set out in the Securities Note for the issuance of subordinated notes.

This issuance is considered to be Solvency II compliant Tier 2 capital, thus reinforcing MAPFRE's solvency and financial strength levels. The notes are currently quoted on the AIAF market.

MAPFRE has a 1 billion-euro line of credit available which was approved in December 2014, by a syndicate of 11 banks, which matures in December 2021 and of which 600 million euros were drawn down at December 31, 2017. Therefore, the Group has an additional 400 million euros of liquidity available.

Consolidated equity amounted to 10.5 billion euros as on December 31, 2017, as compared to 11.4 billion euros as on December 31, 2016. Of this amount, 1.9 billion euros correspond to non-controlling interests' shares in subsidiaries, primarily financial entities in Spain and Brazil that MAPFRE has bancassurance agreements with. Consolidated equity attributable to the controlling Company per share was 2.8 euros as on December 31, 2017 (2.96 euros as on December 31, 2016).

Equity attributable to the controlling Company in 2017 includes:

  • A net reduction of 286 million euros in the market value of the assets available $\bullet$ for sale portfolio mainly due to the rise in interest rates in Spain with respect to the amount at the close of December, 2016. Of this, a significant amount corresponds to investments related to Life portfolios linked to products with profit sharing, and therefore are recognized as a greater equity value by shadow accounting.
  • A reduction of 639 million euros for currency conversion differences, primarily due to the depreciation of the US dollar, the Brazilian real and the Turkish lira over the course of the year.
  • Profits to December 2017.

• A reduction of 447 million euros equivalent to the distribution of the final dividend from the 2016 period and the interim dividend paid against 2017 earnings.

Given the hyperinflationary situation of the Venezuelan economy, and in order to improve the true and fair representation of the financial statements, the Group has decided to present in one sole reserves account all of the equity effects deriving from the hyperinflation in Venezuela, like the currency conversion differences generated from converting the financial statements of the Group companies operating in Venezuela to euros, and the restatement for inflation of their financial statements. So that the information is comparable, the information reflected in the consolidated annual accounts from the previous year has been restated. As such, the heading for foreign exchange differences no longer includes the currency conversion differences originating in Venezuela.

SOLVENCY II

The Solvency II ratio for MAPFRE Group stood at 189.4 percent at the close of September 2017, compared to 205.6 percent at the close of June, including transitional measures. This ratio would be 170.5 percent, excluding the effects of said measures. Eligible Own Funds reached 8.7 billion euros in the same period, of which 93 percent are high quality funds (Tier 1).

The reduction in the ratio is mainly due to the redemption, this past July 24, of the subordinated debt issued in July 2007. The ratio shows a high level of solidity and stability, backed by high diversification and strict investment and ALM policies, as can be seen in the charts below:

ANALYSIS OF CONTRACTUAL OPERATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET OPERATIONS

At the close of the year MAPFRE had the following formal agreements for the development and distribution of insurance products in Spain with different companies, some of which have undergone, or are currently immersed in, processes related to the restructuring of the banking system:

Agreement with BANKIA, S.A. in relation to the strategic partnership begun in 1998 with its predecessor CAJA DE AHORROS Y MONTE DE PIEDAD DE MADRID. The contract was reworded in 2014 by including a new agreement for the exclusive distribution of MAPFRE Life and Non-Life insurance through the entire BANKIA sales network (hereinafter the "Agreement") and the continued joint participation in BANKIA MAPFRE VIDA (previously called MAPFRE-CAJA MADRID VIDA), which specializes in marketing Life insurance through the aforementioned sales network. The Agreement reached between MAPFRE and BANKIA involves the restructuring of the bancassurance business and includes an assurbanking agreement through which MAPFRE will distribute BANKIA financial products through its sales network.

The Agreement also involved the purchase in 2014 of 51 percent of shares in ASEVAL and LAIETANA VIDA and 100 percent of shares in LAIETANA GENERALES, for an overall price of 151.7 million euros.

The final economic value of the Agreement will depend on the future level of compliance with the agreed Business Plan.

Agreement with BANCO CASTILLA-LA MANCHA, S.A. (as the successor to the banking and para-banking activity of CAJA CASTILLA-LA MANCHA) for the exclusive distribution of personal insurance and pension schemes of the jointlyowned company CCM VIDA Y PENSIONES (of which MAPFRE owns 50 percent) through the company's network.

The acquisition price for the shares was 112 million euros in cash, plus additional payments to be made in 2012 and 2021. In 2012 the sum of 4.5 million euros was paid to CAJA DE AHORROS CASTILLA LA MANCHA (now BANCO CASTILLA-LA MANCHA), and an additional sum of 14 million euros will be paid in 2021.

Agreement with BANKINTER S.A. for the exclusive distribution of Life and Accident insurance and pension schemes of the jointly-owned company BANKINTER SEGUROS DE VIDA (of which MAPFRE owns 50 percent), through the bank's sales network.

The acquisition price for the shares was 197.2 million euros in cash, plus two payments of 20 million euros each plus interest to be paid, in light of the degree of compliance with the business plan, in the fifth and tenth year of said plan. In 2012, the degree of compliance with the plan led to payment of the first additional amount, namely 24.2 million euros. During 2017 the second payment of the additional variable price of 20 million euros plus interest was made.

On April 1, 2016 BANKINTER SEGUROS DE VIDA, owned 50-50 by BANKINTER and MAPFRE, purchased the insurance business of BARCLAYS VIDA Y PENSIONES in Portugal for the sum of 75 million euros.

Agreement with BANKINTER, S.A. for the exclusive distribution of general and business insurance (excluding Automobile, Travel and Home insurance) for the jointly-owned company BANKINTER SEGUROS GENERALES (of which MAPFRE owns 50.1 percent), through the bank's sales network.

The acquisition price of the shares was 12 million euros in cash (in addition to payment of 3 million euros for the purchase of shares on December 27, 2011), plus an additional 3 million euros to be paid in the event of full compliance with the "December 2012 Business Plan" by the end of 2015. This additional price has not accrued due to non-compliance with this Business Plan.

Agreement with BANCO DE CAJA ESPAÑA DE INVERSIONES, SALAMANCA Y SORIA, S.A. (as successor to the banking and para-banking business of CAJA ESPAÑA DE INVERSIONES, SALAMANCA Y SORIA, CAJA DE AHORROS Y MONTE DE PIEDAD, which in turn had succeeded CAJA DE AHORROS DE SALAMANCA Y SORIA (CAJA DUERO)), for the exclusive distribution of Life and Accident insurance and pension schemes of the jointly-owned companies UNIÓN DEL DUERO COMPAÑÍA DE SEGUROS DE VIDA (DUERO VIDA) and DUERO PENSIONES ENTIDAD GESTORA DE FONDOS DE PENSIONES (DUERO PENSIONES) (of which MAPFRE owns 50 percent) through the company's network.

The acquisition price for the shares was 105 million euros in cash, plus one payment of a maximum 25 million euros depending on the degree of compliance with the agreed business plan in the period 2008-2014. This payment was finally made on July 26, 2016.

However, in June 2017 MAPFRE and BANCO DE CAJA ESPAÑA DE INVERSIONES, SALAMANCA Y SORIA, S.A. concluded a share sale agreement under which MAPFRE will transfer to that Bank all of the shares it holds through its subsidiary MAPFRE VIDA representing 50 percent of the share capital of the companies UNIÓN DUERO VIDA and DUERO PENSIONES, which were sold for a joint price of 141.7 million euros.

Final confirmation of the transaction is pending authorization from Insurance Directorate General, at which point the shares will be transferred and paid for.

Furthermore, MAPFRE has signed shareholder agreements on standard business terms, including prohibitions on transfer of shares during certain periods and options to withdraw under certain conditions (for example, failure to achieve the Business Plan, change of control, company blocks or serious contractual non-performance, etc.).

Meanwhile, MAPFRE and BANCO DO BRASIL entered into a strategic partnership through the constitution of two holding companies (BB-MAPFRE, for the Life and Agriculture business, and MAPFRE-BB, for the Automobile and General Insurance business), which comprise the insurance subsidiaries of both groups in Brazil and distribute their products through the bank's network as well as through other distribution channels, including MAPFRE's traditional channels.

In addition, MAPFRE and EULER HERMES signed an agreement for the constitution of a strategic partnership to jointly pursue the Surety and Credit insurance business in Spain, Portugal and Latin America. Under this agreement, both companies hold a 50 percent stake in a joint venture called SOLUNION, integrating the businesses of both groups in the aforementioned markets. SOLUNION covers risks in countries all around the world and has an international network of risk analysts located in more than 50 countries that continuously monitor the situation regarding the risks of their insureds, in addition to an extensive distribution network in countries in which it is present.

Lastly, the non-controlling shareholders of MAPFRE RE have a put option on the shares of this company. If exercised, MAPFRE or a MAPFRE Group company would have to acquire the shares from the selling minority shareholder. The purchase price for the MAPFRE RE shares will be calculated using a previously agreed formula. At December 31, 2017, based on the variables included in the aforementioned formula, the commitment assumed by MAPFRE if this option were exercised would amount to a total of approximately 100.9 million euros.

MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

MAPFRE's risk management system (RMS) is based on the integrated management of each and every business process and the alignment of risk levels to the defined strategic objectives.

OPERATIONAL RISKS

Regulatory risk

Regulatory risk is defined as the event comprising a change in regulations, law or administrative procedures that could adversely affect the Group.

In recent years, the legislative framework to which the insurance industry adheres has been expanding, with new regulations both internationally and locally. It should be borne in mind that the Group works in a complex environment under increasing regulatory pressure, not only in the insurance sector, but also insofar as matters including technology, corporate governance or corporate criminal responsibility are concerned.

The Group's insurance subsidiaries are subject to special regulation in the countries in which they operate. The supervisory authorities have broad administrative control over various aspects of the insurance business. This control may affect premium amounts, marketing and sales practices, the distribution of profits among policyholders and shareholders, advertising, license agreements, policy models, solvency, capital requirements, and permitted investments. Changes in taxation may affect the benefits of certain products marketed by the company or its subsidiaries which currently enjoy favorable tax treatment.

Operational risk

Operational risk is defined as the risk of withstanding losses due to the inadequacy or insufficiency of internal processes, personnel or systems; or external events.

The operational risk management model is based on a dynamic qualitative and process-based analysis of the company, whereby the managers of the different areas and departments identify and assess the potential risks affecting both business and support processes. MAPFRE has systems in place to monitor and control operational risk, although despite the fact that the results of the analysis performed in 2017 do not show any process to be at a critical level, the possibility of incurring operating losses cannot be excluded, given the difficulty of forecasting and quantifying this type of risk.

Client concentrations

The Group has a high degree of insurance risk diversification since it operates in virtually all insurance lines and has a broad presence in international markets. MAPFRE applies procedures and limits that allow it to control the level of concentrated insurance risk.

$\overline{a}$ : $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ = $\overline{a}$ =

It is standard practice to use reinsurance contracts to mitigate the insurance risk arising from the concentration or accumulation of guarantees exceeding the maximum acceptance levels.

FINANCIAL RISKS

Market and interest rate risks

Fluctuations in market prices may reduce the value of or revenues from the investment portfolio, which in turn may have a negative impact on the Group's financial situation and consolidated results.

Prudent selection of financial assets with adequate characteristics to cover the obligations assumed is the principal measure for mitigating the possible adverse effects of variations in market prices. In managing investment portfolios, the Group differentiates between those which are aimed at matching the obligations arising from insurance contracts and those where active management is undertaken. In the former type, interest rate risk and other price variation risks are minimized, while in the latter a certain degree of market risk is assumed.

MAPFRE mitigates its exposure to this type of risk by means of a prudent investment policy characterized by a high proportion of investment-grade fixed-income securities. Investments in fixed-income securities represent 88 percent of the entire financial investment portfolio in 2017 (90.3 percent in 2016). The market price of the securities may fluctuate as a result of changes in interest rates (interest-rate risk), the exposure to which is mitigated by searching for an adequate level of matching between assets and liabilities.

During 2017, historically low interest rates continued to feature in several markets. A scenario of interest rate hikes in 2018 would have reduced impact on equity due to the use of matching adjustment techniques, but would have a positive effect on new business by making Life savings products more attractive.

The market price of fixed-rate securities may also fluctuate due to changes in the perception of the solvency margin of issuers (spread risk), the treatment of which is explained in the section on Credit Risk.

Investments in equities and mutual funds have a limited weight on the balance sheet, representing approximately 9.6 percent of all financial investments in 2017 (7.6 percent in 2016).

Fluctuations in returns on equities also influence consumer behavior, which may have a significant impact on the Life insurance and asset management business.

Revenues from MAPFRE's Life insurance and asset management operations are directly related to the value of the assets managed whether fixed income or equities), which means that a fall in markets could have a negative impact on these revenues.

Exchange rate risk

Changes in the value of the euro affect the value of the Group's assets and liabilities, and, therefore, its equity, operating results and cash flows. The currency conversion differences recorded resulted in the negative recognition of 639.1 million euros in 2017 (a positive result in shareholders' equity of 264.4 million euros in 2016).

While most governments of the countries in which MAPFRE operates have not imposed bans on repatriating dividends or capital divestment, restrictive exchange control policies may be established in the future. The Group studies the best alternatives to mitigate the impact of the volatility of the Group's most important currencies.

Turning to technical provisions for operations abroad, the Group generally applies a policy of investing in assets denominated in the same currency as the commitments acquired by the insurer, thereby mitigating the exposure to exchange rate risk.

CREDIT RISK

Returns on investments are also sensitive to changes in the general economic conditions, including variations in the general credit rating of debt security issuers. Accordingly, the value of a fixed-income instrument may be reduced by changes to the credit rating or insolvency of the issuer. There are similar risks in exposures to insurance, reinsurance and banking counterparties.

Exposure to credit risks is mitigated through a policy based on the prudent selection of security issuers and counterparties on the basis of their solvency; seeking i) an elevated degree of geographic correspondence between issuers of assets and the commitments assumed, ii) maintenance of an appropriate level of diversification, and iii) securing, if necessary, guarantees, collateral and other additional coverages.

The credit risk management policy establishes limits by issuer in line with the risk profile of the counterparty or of the investment instrument, as well as exposure limits related to the counterparty's rating.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is mainly managed by maintaining cash balances of an amount sufficient to cover any contingency arising from obligations to insured parties and creditors. Thus, at December 31, 2017 cash balances amounted to 1,864 million euros (1,451 million euros the previous year), equivalent to 3.8 percent of total investments and liquid funds (3 percent in 2016). Meanwhile, in Life and Savings insurance, the maturities of investments are matched to the obligations entered under the terms and conditions of insurance contracts in order to mitigate the exposure to this type of risk.

In addition, most fixed income investments are of investment grade and are negotiable on organized markets, affording great capacity to act against potential liquidity strains. There are also lines of credit in place with banks to cover temporary liquidity gaps.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) RISKS

The concept of sustainability is founded on three fundamental pillars: economic, social and environmental development. As such, effectively managing the risks and business opportunities associated with environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects is key to contributing to sustainable development.

MAPFRE's business model and strategy are examples of how the company tackles global sustainability challenges, manages ESG risks and innovates in the development of insurance products and solutions that benefit both clients and the societies in which the company operates.

Management of ESG risks assists with decision-making in important areas such as underwriting, investment, innovation in products and services and reputation management, and this is why risk management is naturally integrated into the Group's established management and control processes.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Note 7, "Risk Management", of the Consolidated Annual Report includes detailed information about the different types of risk that affect the Group.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE YEAR END

MAPFRE and Banco do Brasil have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding on February 6, 2018 to update the terms of their strategic alliance in the insurance business. The redefinition of these agreements would result in an increase in MAPFRE's shareholding in its businesses in Brazil, which would allow it to progress toward a simpler and more efficient governance structure and reduce internal costs, with a significant improvement in productivity and business profitability.

According to the terms of the memorandum, MAPFRE would become the owner of 100 percent (currently 50 percent) of the sum of the business generated by the agency network and the automobile and large risks business in the BB bank channel. The same current shareholder configuration for life and agriculture insurance would be maintained and BB's bank channel homeowners insurance, which BB MAPFRE would 190 continue to develop, would be incorporated into this same structure, with MAPFRE's shareholding being 25 percent.

MAPFRE would maintain exclusivity in the Banco do Brasil bank channel for all the businesses falling within the scope of the alliance, both those that it underwrites directly as well as those distributed through BB MAPFRE.

INFORMATION ON EXPECTED PERFORMANCE

$\cdots$ ... ................................

OUTLOOK

Global growth is expected to be around 3.7 percent in 2018, which is slightly ahead of that seen at the end of 2017. This figure is higher than last year's forecast and is the result of verifying that global growth has gained traction and synchronicity, although it also shows signs of stabilization.

Both developed and emerging markets will contribute to global growth in a similar manner. Developed markets are expected to gain some steam and grow by more than 2 percent in 2018, and emerging markets will accelerate with growth above that seen in 2017 (4.6 percent).

The growth in developed markets is based on the gradual convergence between reality and market optimism, and the lax monetary context throughout the world, despite the start of the normalization of the Federal Reserve in the United States and the notifications provided by the European Central Bank (ECB). The inertia in global demand resulting partly from past fiscal expansion in China must be added to this scenario. In the future, there will also be an undeniable fiscal push as a result of the tax cuts in the United States, which will have an effect during the period 2018-2020. Emerging markets will still be supported by the vigorous Chinese economy and, in general, by the effect of global demand in a context of rising commodity and oil prices (Brent at \$60/barrel), which will support the growth of income and internal demand in emerging exporting countries.

Global growth will be close (although still below) the long-term trend, which may carry upward risks. Economic growth is not sufficiently strong to translate into an acceleration of inflation. The spike in global inflation that will be seen in 2018 will be due more to an increase in oil prices than salary gains (and the consequent increase in inflation expectations). The inflation environment is still far from the objectives set by central banks, whether by default (in the case of developed countries) or due to excesses (in the case of emerging countries).

The economic cycle and inflation objectives will set the global monetary policy tone in 2018 during which, in general, gradual changes are expected to rule. The global benchmark interest rate will rise very slowly. In 2018 monetary policy will still preserve its global financial impact in the form of abundant liquidity, risk appetite, low rates and low term premiums, which will lead to a stabilized dollar at around 1.20 euros and only slightly higher against emerging currencies.

The global economy will reflect vulnerabilities that may reduce its capacity to take on emerging risks. Growing corporate leveraging (in strong currencies) in emerging countries exposes their capacity to face a foreseeable global liquidity train in US dollars, as the developed economies exhaust their economic policy instruments, whether due to being in a low interest rate environment with no margin for monetary policy, or because excessive government debt limits their capacity to take fiscal action. This also takes place in an environment of relative exuberance in the prices of many assets (equity, corporate debt, housing, crypto-currencies, etc.). This exuberance is encouraged by the extremely liquid environment and the inevitable correction will have to take place after 2018 when the United States economic cycle is exhausted, and the monetary normalization at the Federal Reserve and the ECB gain traction.

Uneven cyclical moments place conditions on the outlook for regional performance and the accompanying monetary policy. The United States is (together with China) the most advanced economy in terms of economic cycles and, as such, it faces a monetary normalization process and the withdrawal of stimulus through the adjustment of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet over the coming years. The sale of \$1.3 trillion in assets on the balance sheet is planned, together with a gradual increase in interest rates to around 3 percent over the next few years, but this adjustment is expected to be extremely gradual. The benchmark rate and inflation are expected to end 2018 at around 2 percent, accompanied by growth of around 2.5 percent, which already includes a spike in the price of oil and the effect of the tax cut approved in December by the United States.

Europe has been (and will be in 2018) the highest growing developed area (in the absence of stimulus) and its cyclical position is still a couple years away from that seen by the United States economy, and therefore the adjustment in the monetary policy has not yet started, despite the fact that the ECB has reported the sequence that it will follow (fewer purchases, increased deposit rates, an increase in rates and asset sales). This is occurring in a context of the highest economic growth seen in a decade, but with inflation-related difficulties. In 2018, slightly slower growth than that seen in 2017 is expected (close to 2 percent), above its long-term trend line. Inflation will still be below the ECB's objective and the benchmark rate will remain flat. The long-term rate in the Eurozone (the Bund) will remain contained and tightening its spread against the United States, but even so a 1.20 USD/EUR rate is expected.

The outlook for Spain is for it to maintain growth in Europe, but it will be hard to repeat the success seen in 2017. The maturity of the cycle and the cost of political uncertainty make foreseeable growth in 2018 close to 2.3 percent (compared to the 3.1 percent recorded in 2017), but that is still higher growth than shown by the longterm trend line. This forecast has upside risks in the event that the political environment improves and the structural reforms implemented in the past increase the growth margin. The unemployment rate in Spain is already at the structural limit of close to 16 percent.

China will record growth that is still higher than its potential, despite the attempts to apply an orderly cooling of the economy. Growth is expected to be close to 6.2 percent in 2018, with a slight appreciation of the RMB, and in a political scenario that increases the likelihood that important reforms will be applied in the short-term. Countries in the Asian region with a population bonus (Indonesia and Philippines) will maintain a growth path supported by domestic demand, under lax monetary policy and with a certain accumulation of imbalances. Regional growth is expected to exceed 5 percent in both cases.

Latin America will accelerate economic growth to nearly 2 percent in 2018, thanks to the exit of Brazil and Argentina from recession and the resilience of Mexico. Brazil and Mexico are expected to grow at around 2.4 percent in 2018, while growth could be around 3.5 percent in Argentina. The currencies in the region will remain low given the foreseeably lax monetary policy implemented by the central banks and a certain preelectoral effect on the fiscal policy in those three countries. Accordingly, it is notable that the political cycle has moved from developed countries in 2017 (Eurozone, United States, Japan) to Latin America in 2018 (Argentina, Mexico, Brazil).

The main risks for the global economy in 2018 focus on geopolitics, given the growing tension between North Korea and the United States. This risk is followed by potential errors in the implementation of the economic policy in the United States and China and, nationally, the emerging political cycle could again empower populist movements that refuse to take important structural reforms that could once again make the economic growth process difficult.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

In recent years MAPFRE has consolidated its strategy at every level of the organization to work as one large team, moving in the same direction. Accordingly, a common, aligned strategy is followed in every market in which the Group operates. Since 2016 work has progressed with initiatives and projects to support strategic objectives, 193 prioritizing and concentrating efforts to make joint advances to uphold the commitments made to shareholders.

We are currently at the mid-point of the Strategic Plan, which has focused on Profitable Growth, supporting management with four strategic pillars and taking a series of initiatives that were reinforced in 2017 to continue making advances toward building a more digital company:

1. Client orientation

The Group attaches great importance to identifying and understanding client needs, behavior and aspirations as a means of retaining existing clients and capturing new clients from the market. To achieve this goal, a Client Relationship Model was implemented that helps adapt the sales offering, operations, structure and technology to the requirements and needs of each client. All of this is tailored to the specific characteristics of each market.

The maturity attained by the Client Experience Model initiative has facilitated moving it to the production level, and to work on managing the results obtained through surveys of clients and non-clients to differentiate ourselves and deliver beyond their expectations.

In 2017, advances were also made in positioning MAPFRE in Large Cities, which will enable the attainment of increased market share there.

2. Digital transformation

It is essential that MAPFRE keeps up its efforts to adapt to the new digital age, working on the digitalization of processes to achieve operational excellence, and the digitalization of the client touchpoints. All of this has the objective of strengthening their experience with the company, ensuring service and quality levels.

Another important focus of this pillar is the Digital Business Plan, which was defined to develop existing and new operations, thus increasing the weight of this distribution model at MAPFRE.

In response to trends in the automobile sector, special importance is being placed on the initiative that has been underway for a number of years to develop capacities in the automobile area and the Group's role with respect to new mobility concepts.

It is also intended to take advantage of the opportunity provided by digitalization to develop a business model that facilitates attaining leadership in the Health strategic line.

3. Excellence in technical and operational management

The insurance business involves a constant quest for operational excellence and adaptation to regulatory changes in the industry, so that technical profitability higher than the market can be achieved in the most important lines, which will also maintain and improve MAPFRE's competitive position.

The Strategic Provider Initiative underway has reached an implementation level that has allowed it to be put into production mode. Work to develop initiatives related to efficiency continues, focusing on the Contact Center, Claims Costs, the development of Operating Models and the promotion of self-service.

During 2017 a Strategic Initiative for Predictive Models was started, with the aim of transforming the manner in business is handled, taking advantage of data knowledge and intelligence.

4. Culture and talent

The successful implementation of the Strategic Plan depends on unequivocal support from employees and the MAPFRE culture. Big steps have been taken in the initiative with respect to Talent Management, which has allowed it to be included in habitual production processes and for fresh challenges to be taken on within a new initiative: the Digital Challenge, which will enable the organizational change that MAPFRE needs to adapt to new digital imperatives to be successfully managed.

It is important to highlight the advances the Group has made in terms of equal opportunities, diversity and labor inclusion, which it will continue to pursue in the coming years.

In 2018, the focus will continue to be on management of the four strategic pillars, and within the strategy review and adjustment cycle, a new Strategic Plan for 2019-2021 will be drawn up.

R&D+i ACTIVITIES

Client orientation is one of the main axes of the MAPFRE Strategic Plan, which identifies innovation and digital transformation as two of the key tools to offering insurance solutions focused on client needs and achieving the short-, medium- and long-term strategic objectives while simultaneously bearing in mind the quality of the service delivered to clients.

INNOVATION

At MAPFRE, innovation aims to produce specific improvements to the value provided to clients or efficiency improvements. It also seeks to keep abreast of market developments and in line with trends that arise at global level, which is now a matter of survival for companies.

The pillars of MAPFRE's Innovation Model are as follows:

  1. The Innovation Community, which in 2017 reached a total of 19 innovation and development offices (OID), at which there are approximately 40 part-time employees and more than 250 Innoagents (employees in any post within the organization who act as ambassadors for innovation, providing methods to change the company's culture and actively participating in innovation projects within their environments). The purpose of this community is to generate and channel innovation within the organization and translate it into specific projects that comply with the company's strategic plans.

At the end of 2017 the innovation portfolio at MAPFRE at global level consists of more than 70 innovation projects which, due to their geographic scope and potential impact on the organization, are divided into 58 local, 4 global and 8 corporate categories.

The Corporate projects respond directly to the company's global strategic plan. An example is those that cover the Strategic Initiative on Automobile Insurance in MAPFRE 3.0, which was created in 2017 on the back of the paradigm change that is taking place in the automobile ecosystem. The objective of the initiative is to develop automobile insurance and boost capacities within the MAPFRE Group that will ensure it maintains its value proposition and competitiveness in the coming years.

  1. Think Tanks, which are dedicated to exploring and analyzing new trends and their direct impact on the business.

  2. The Startup Relationship Model, which covers interaction with the entrepreneur and startup ecosystem in order to analyze possible innovative solutions that respond to challenges faced by the company, gaining an awareness of the most agile and dynamic methods of working and incorporating best practices.

Work continued on developing three lines of action in 2017:

  • Participation in investor vehicles, such as Alma Mundi.
  • Startup observatory: monitoring of the insurtech/fintech ecosystems to establish partnerships with key companies.
  • Participation in acceleration processes: Exploration of new relationship models with startups.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Digital transformation is one of the lines of action defined in the Group's Strategic Plan, the objective of which is to quickly respond to the new needs of our clients.

During the year MAPFRE made significant advances in its digital transformation process, launching more than 200 projects. This effort has allowed significant achievements to be attained with respect to the digitalization of client relationships, (considering a client to be a consumer, distributor, provider and internal client), as well as operations:

  • Specifically, in the case of the consumer client, attraction and conversion have improved thanks to better digital marketing, the management of leads using ROPO (Research Online Purchase Offline) and the implementation of advanced pricing systems (present in 3 countries -Spain, Turkey and Columbia- and under development in Brazil and Peru). The increase in self-service functionality should also be included within these actions. During the year, work advanced on the creation of a Corporate Mobility Framework, linked to business needs, in order to unify, reuse and make the rollout of apps by all countries more agile.
  • In the case of the distributor client, the focus was on mobilizing the sales network $\blacksquare$ and generating a 360° view of clients. The corporate CRM was rolled out with 10 implementations, with those of MAPFRE SIGORTA, MAPFRE RE, MAPFRE ESPAÑA and VERTI (USA) being notable due to their impact. Advances in big data have also delivered enriched client information and facilitated the company in advancing with respect to the 720° client view.
  • Digital solutions have been deployed for providers in order to enhance their mobility, receiving service assignments directly on mobile devices and providing them with the ability to report the status of the service to be rendered in real time.
  • Significant advances have been made with the implementation of the Global Intranet for internal clients or employees, covering 94.6 percent of active employees, and with remote working and training via digital platforms.
  • Finally, strong progress was made with respect to digitalizing operations, with more 8.3 million automated transactions carried out in 2017.

QUALITY

The quality perceived by clients is evaluated using the MAPFRE Global Model for Measuring Client Experience, the aims of which are as follows:

  • To constantly be aware of, using a consistent methodology, the level of client satisfaction in the different countries and businesses.
  • To identify those aspects that impact on the client experience, so as to improve it.
  • To provide countries with a tool to help them define and implement initiatives, assigning the most appropriate priority level.
  • To set goals for improvement and aspire to be a benchmark in client experience across all countries and lines.

The MAPFRE Quality Observatory, which is responsible for measuring perceived and delivered quality, conducts client surveys in every country where the company operates. These surveys cover all lines of insurance and assistance services and are conducted every six months in order to analyze the Net Promoter Score (NPS®) indicator and evaluate satisfaction and critical points of client contact.

The Observatory's reports provide data on the client experience, which assist the decision-making process in the different business areas.

Furthermore, 220 employees worldwide work on monitoring and controlling quality, and several companies have quality certifications which they can only renew by maintaining high customer service standards.

The Group's main quality certificates are as follows: ISO 9001 certification in Brazil, Spain and Turkey; MAPFRE RE holds ISO 9001 certification and MAPFRE ASISTENCIA holds this same quality certification in Algeria, Argentina, Bahrain, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Philippines, Italy, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Tunisia, Turkey and Venezuela.

SHAREHOLDER STRUCTURE AND REMUNERATION

At the close of 2017, Fundación MAPFRE, through its direct and indirect holdings, owned 68.3 percent of the company's shares, while Spanish shareholders owned 10.9 percent and shareholders of other countries owned the remaining 20.8 percent.

Of the Spanish shareholders, 3.4 percent were institutional investors and 7.5 percent were non-institutional investors (principally individuals). With regard to investors resident in other countries, 20.7 percent were institutional investors, while 0.1 percent were non-institutional investors.

Among the objectives set for the three-year period 2016-2018 is suitable shareholder remuneration. Likewise, the dividend policy establishes that shareholder remuneration must be linked to the Company's profit, solvency, liquidity and investment plans, and also aligned with the interests of all its shareholders. As a general rule, the Board of Directors will propose at the Annual General Meeting a distribution of dividends of between 50 percent and 65 percent of the attributable result (payout ratio).

In fiscal year 2017, the Board of Directors agreed to pay an interim dividend against the year's results of 0.06 euros per share. The total amount paid out in the year was 0.145 euros per share, giving a total payout of 446.5 million euros.

The dividend proposed at the Annual General Meeting for fiscal year 2017 is 0.085 euros per share. Consequently, the total dividend against the 2017 results amounts to 0.145 euros per share before tax, representing a payout ratio of 63.7 percent.

Dividend payments and the dividend yield, calculated on an average share price basis, are indicated below:

2017 2016 2015 2014 2013
DIVIDEND (euros) 0.145 0.13 0.14 0.14 0.12
DIVIDEND YIELD 4.9% 5.8% 4.9% 4.7% 4.4%

It should also be mentioned that since the economic and financial crisis broke out in 2007, MAPFRE has increased the amount allocated to dividends by 78 percent.

CREDIT RATING MANAGEMENT

MAPFRE and its subsidiaries hold credit ratings from the main agencies. These agencies are selected on the basis of their international presence, relevance for the insurance industry and capital markets, and their level of experience. To review the Group's credit risk profile, annual meetings are held at which each agency receives operating and financial information from the business units and the Group. A quantitative and qualitative analysis is conducted, taking into account the financial situation of the Group as well as other factors such as its strategy, corporate governance and market environment.

ACTIVE TRANSPARENCY PLAN

Transparency relates to how organizations manage themselves and interact with their stakeholders and their environment. These elements exert an effort on a company to make their activities and decision-making processes visible and understandable. In order to achieve this, MAPFRE has an Active Transparency Plan in place, comprising internal and external actions, which aim to enhance accessibility to, and improve people's understanding of, the company, which will ultimately result in transparency becoming a recognizable company asset.

In 2017, both the structure and contents of MAPFRE's website were redesigned, improving accessibility to same, with the aim of broadening knowledge of the company via its website. Comprehension of published information has been improved, bringing it closer to the various stakeholders, which represents a significant advance in corporate communication.

In terms of product communication, work was carried out on the drawing up of informational documents on Non-Life insurance products (PID) with the aim of making it available to clients before doing so became obligatory, updating the same on the website to facilitate consultation of Prior Information Notices and make this new documentation easily accessible.

Additionally, once MAPFRE signs up to the "Best practice guide on the use of terminology employed in Non-Life insurance product information documentation", prepared by UNESPA, the defined terminology set out in this guide will be adopted in the wording of PID documents so as to improve the clarity of the language used in client communications.

Furthermore, work is underway on making product documentation in the Life line equally suitable, with some Life-Savings insurance products currently adapted as such, with remaining variants to follow shortly.

As far as internal action is concerned, the expansion of intranet content should be mentioned, in that it brings to the fore topics of interest to employees, such as appointments, workplace satisfaction surveys (Great Place to Work) etc. Processes to clearly inform workers on subjects such as career development, the results of mobility and selection processes are also being defined, along with making systematic information available related to the results of surveys conducted and the measures adopted in relation to same.

An infographic explaining promotion, selection and mobility was designed to further disseminate awareness of human resources policies, with another related to remuneration in production.

As can be seen, progress is being made with regard to the implementation of the active transparency plan in Spain and in the near future it is envisaged that similar advances will be made in other countries where MAPFRE operates.

ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY

Insurance activities generate direct economic value through the constant flow of transactions (premium payments, benefit payments, investment management, etc.), which have an effect on the different aspects related to the economic and social development of the environment in which the company operates.

Article 201 of the Companies Act establishes that in order to adopt the resolutions referred to in article 194, if capital present or represented exceeds 50 percent, the absolute majority vote will be sufficient to pass the resolution. However, when, at the first call to the meeting, shareholders present or represented at the meeting own more than 25 percent but less than 50 percent of subscribed capital carrying voting rights, the favorable vote by shareholders representing two-thirds of capital present or represented is required to pass the resolution.

At the second call, a minimum of 25 percent of capital is required.

Pursuant to the provisions of article 26 of the Corporate Bylaws, the amendment of the provisions of Title IV "Protection of the Company's General Interest" (articles 26 to 29) can only be amended by a resolution approved with the votes in favor of more than 50 percent of the share capital at the Extraordinary General Meeting specifically called for this purpose.

C.1.5 Explain the measures which, where applicable, have been adopted to include a balance presence of men and women on the Board of Directors.

Explanation of the measures

The Institutional, Corporate and Organizational Principles of the MAPFRE Group, approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE on June 24, 2015, expressly provide that the Board of Directors of MAPFRE shall develop a plan for filling vacancies to ensure the suitableness of applicants thereto, based on their skills and professional and geographical origins, as well as a sufficient presence of members of both genders.

Similarly, it is established that the competent bodies of Group companies will ensure that, when vacancies arise, equal opportunities are guaranteed for candidates regardless of their gender, and they must seek to achieve an effective presence of directors of both genders.

Furthermore, the Director Selection Policy expressly establishes that, during the selection process, any kind of implicit biases will always be avoided, which may involve discrimination and, in particular, biases that interfere with the selection of persons of either gender. It also includes the commitment to ensure that in the year 2020 the number of female directors shall represent at least 30 percent of the total of members of the Board of Directors

Explain the measures which, where applicable, the Appointments Committee has $C.1.6$ agreed so that the procedure for filling Board vacancies has no implicit bias against women candidates, and the company makes a conscious effort to include women with the target profile among the candidates for Board seats

Explanation of the measures

The Appointments and Remuneration Committee must ensure that during the candidate selection process any kind of implicit biases are always avoided, which may involve discrimination and, in particular, those biases that interfere with the selection of persons of either gender.

In 2015 the Appointments and Remuneration Committee approved a renewal plan for the Board of Directors establishing the steps to follow in the period 2015-2020 to adapt the structure of the Board of Directors to the new legal requirements and recommendations contained in the Code of Good Governance of the Spanish National Securities and Exchange Commission (the "CNMV").

When, in spite of the measures which, where applicable, have been adopted, there are few or no female directors, explain the reasons that justify this.

Explanation of the reasons

Not applicable

b Explain the conclusions of the Appointments Committee on the verification of compliance with the director selection policy. In particular, explain how this policy is $C.1.6$ promoting the objective that by 2020 the number of female directors represents at least 30 percent of the total of members of the Board of Directors.

Explanation of the conclusions

MAPFRE's Director Selection Policy aims to ensure that the proposals for nomination and re-election of directors are based on a preliminary analysis of the Board of Directors needs, and to promote a diversity of knowledge, experiences and gender on the Board. It expressly sets out the commitment to ensure that in the year 2020 the number of female directors shall represent at least 30 percent of the total of members of the Board of Directors. In line with this commitment, on December 21, 2017 Ms. María Pilar Perales Viscasillas was appointed as an independent director, with effect from January 1, 2018, in place of Ms. Adriana Casademont i Ruhi, who resigned from her position on the board with effect from December 31, 2017.

In addition, as indicated in the above section C.1.6, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee approved a renewal plan for the Board of Directors with specific measures to promote the objective that by 2020 the number of female directors represents at least 30 percent of the total of members of the Board of Directors.

The Appointments and Remuneration Committee considers that the company adequately complied with the Director Selection Policy during 2017. In view of the reduction in the number of board members during the year, the percentage of female directors rose from 23.53 percent in 2016 to 26.67 percent in 2017.

C.1.7 Explain the method of representation on the Board of shareholders with significant shareholdings.

The shareholders with significant shareholdings (see section A.2 of this report) have nominee directors appointed on the company's Board of Directors. Details of the external nominee directors are provided in the previous section C.1.3.

C.1.8 Explain, where applicable, the reasons why nominee directors have been appointed at the behest of shareholders whose shareholding is less than 3 percent of the capital:

Indicate whether formal petitions for a seat on the Board have been ignored from shareholders whose holding is equal to or higher than others at whose behest nominee directors were appointed. Where applicable, explain why these petitions have been ignored:

No $\boxtimes$ Yes $\square$

C.1.9 Indicate if any director has stood down before the end of their term in office, if they explained their reasons to the Board and through which channels, and if they sent a letter of explanation to the entire Board. Explain the reasons they gave:

----------------- -----------

Description of modifications

On February 7, 2017 the Board of Directors agreed to modify, with effect from March 10, 2017, articles 10 and 12 of its Regulations, governing the Audit Committee and the Risk and Compliance Committee, respectively, in order to attribute the compliance and corporate governance powers of the Risk and Compliance Committee to the Audit Committee, and also to change the name of the former to the Risk Committee and of the latter to the Audit and Compliance Committee.

C.1.19 Indicate procedures for selection, appointment, re-election, evaluation and removal of directors. List the competent bodies, the procedures to be followed and the criteria to be employed in each procedure.

Persons to whom the position of MAPFRE S.A. director is offered, or of a subsidiary company, must first make an accurate and complete declaration of their relevant personal, family, professional and business circumstances, specifically indicating the following: (I) persons or companies that are, with respect to him/her, the condition of linked persons as provided for in current legislation; (ii) any circumstances that may imply a cause of incompatibility in accordance with the laws, the corporate by the Board of Directors Regulations, or a conflict of interest; (iii) any other professional obligations, in case they interfere with the commitment required for the position; (iv) any criminal proceedings in which he/she appears as a defendant or accused party; and (v) any other fact or situation affecting him/her and that may be relevant to his/her performance as a director. This declaration must be made on the form provided for such purposes by MAPFRE, and shall include an express acceptance of the regulations set out in the corporate bylaws and other internal regulations, as well as in current legislation.

Any person who holds the position of director must be of renowned prestige in his/her professional and business area, and hold all necessary professional qualifications or experience as provided by law for financial institutions or insurance companies subject to supervision by public authorities.

Specifically, people cannot be members of the Board of Directors if they hold significant shares in, or provide professional services to, competing businesses of the company or of any company of the Group, or if they work as employees, managers, or administrators of them, unless they are granted express authorization from the Board of Directors.

  • Proposals for the appointment or reappointment of independent directors must be preceded by a proposal from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee

The proposed reappointment of such directors must include an assessment of the performance of their positions by directors during the previous mandate and, where appropriate, of the positions performed by candidates on the Board, taking into account or assessing the amount and quality of the work done by them, and their commitment to the position.

  • The formulation of proposals for appointment or reappointment by the Board of Directors must be preceded:

a) In the case of nominee directors, by a suitable proposal of the shareholder backing their appointment or reappointment.

b) In the case of executive directors, as well as the secretary, whether or not a director, by a suitable proposal from the Chairman of the Board.

Both types of proposals must also be preceded by the corresponding report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee

  • The proposed reappointment of nominee and executive directors must be subject to a prior report issued by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, which must include an assessment of the performance of their positions by directors during the previous mandate and, where appropriate, of the positions performed by candidates on the Board, taking into account or assessing the amount and quality of the work done by them, and their commitment to the position.

  • In any case, the proposals for appointment and reappointment of directors must be accompanied by an explanatory report from the Board which assesses the responsibility, experience and merits of the candidate.

The Board of Directors will not propose to the General Meeting that any independent director be removed from office before the end of the term for which the director has been elected unless the Board of Directors considers, based on a report from the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, that there are grounds for doing so. In particular, the removal proposal shall be deemed justified when the director has failed to comply with the duties inherent to the position, has not complied with any requirement set forth for independent directors, or has incurred in an insuperable conflict of interest according to the provisions of current legislation.

C.1.20 Explain how the annual assessment of the Board has led to significant changes in its international organization and in the procedures that apply to its activities:

Description of modifications

In 2016 the Board of Directors engaged a well-respected independent expert to assist it in evaluating its own performance as well as the performance of the Board committees and the Chairman of the Board. Based on the result of the annual selfassessment, in 2017 the Board of Directors implemented the following measures:

  • The level of participation of all Board members in the meetings of the governing bodies was increased, reducing the time spent on presentations and increasing the time allocated for debate and, to that end, issuing meeting documentation even more in advance of the meetings.
  • The strategic portion of the Board's meetings was reinforced to allow more time for discussing strategic issues and encourage debate.
  • More time was allowed for analyzing and discussing business matters, as well as for following up on the strategic plan and the necessary analysis of regulatory issues.

C.1.20.b Describe the evaluation process and the evaluated areas undertaken by the Board of Directors assisted, where appropriate, by an external consultant with respect to diversity in its composition and responsibilities, the operation and composition of its committees, the performance of the Chairman of the Board and the chief executive of the company, and the performance and contribution of each director.

In accordance with the provisions of the Regulations of the Board of Directors of MAPFRE, the Board undertakes an annual assessment of the quality of its work, the performance of the Chairman and CEO based on the report drawn up for this purpose by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, and the operation of its Committees and Steering Committee. Where appropriate, it proposes an action plan to correct any deficiencies detected.

During the first half of 2018 the Steering Committee and the Audit and Compliance, Appointments and Remuneration, and Risk Committees will prepare their respective self-assessment reports on their composition and operations during 2017. Likewise, the Board of Directors will assess its own composition and operations during 2017 as well as those of its Committees and Steering Committees based on the aforementioned reports.

Meanwhile, following the report of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, the Board of Directors evaluated the performance of the MAPFRE Chairman and CEO in 2017, concluding that it was very favorable in all aspects.

C.1.20.c List, where appropriate, the business relationships maintained by the advisor or any company in the group with the company or any company in its group.

None

C.1.21 Indicate the circumstances under which directors are obliged to resign.

In accordance with the corporate bylaws, the Board of Directors Regulation and the MAPFRE Group's Institutional, Business and Organizational Principles, all members of the Board of Directors will formally resign their post at the age of 70. The Chairman, Vice Chairmen and directors who perform executive functions, and the secretary of the Board must retire from office on reaching 65 years of age or, on any earlier date according to the terms and conditions of their respective contracts, submitting the corresponding resignations, but they may continue as members of the Board without any executive duties for a maximum of five years in the same conditions as external nominee directors.

All directors must resign from their directorship on the Board of Directors and any office held, such as on the Committees and Steering Committee, and tender their formal resignation should the Board of Directors deem it pertinent, in the following cases:

a) Whenever they are removed from the executive office associated with their appointment as members of these governing hodies

b) Should they become subject to any disqualification or prohibition laid down at law.

c) If they are accused of (or a court issues an order for the opening of a trial for) allegedly committing any crime or are involved in disciplinary proceedings involving a serious or very serious fault at the instance of the supervisory authorities.

d) If they receive a serious warning from the Audit and Compliance Committee due to infringement of their obligations as directors

e) When they are affected by circumstances in which their remaining on any such management bodies might cause damage to the company's credit or reputation, or place its interests at risk. When such events or circumstances are well-known or public, the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, by agreement of the majority of its members, may request the resignation of the affected director.

f) If the reasons (if any expressly exist) for which they were appointed cease to apply.

Resignation from these positions must be formally tendered in a letter addressed to all members of the Board of Directors.

Directors who, at the time of their appointment, do not hold any executive position or perform any executive functions in the company, or in another Group company, will not be able to perform any executives functions unless they first resign their directorship, even though they may subsequently remain eligible for the position.

Nominee directors must also tender their resignation when the shareholder that appointed them sells its shareholding.

When a shareholder reduces its shareholding, a proportionally equivalent number of nominee directors that it has appointed must resign.

MAPFRE's independent directors must also tender their resignation when they have held office for 12 years in a row.

C.1.22 Section repealed.

C.1.23 Are reinforced majorities required, aside from legal majorities, for any type of resolution?

If so, describe the differences.

C.1.24 Explain whether there are specific requirements, other than those regarding directors, to be appointed Chairman of the Board.

Requirements description
In accordance with the provisions of article 5 of the Regulations of the MAPFRE Board of Directors, the position of Chairman
must go to an executive director who has the status of most senior management representative, and such a designation requires
the favorable vote of two thirds of the members of the Board of Directors.

C.1.25 Indicate whether the Chairman has a casting vote:

$Yes \nabla$

No $\Box$
Yes $\boxtimes$
------------------------------

Circumstances requiring a casting vote

Significant shareholders, directors and senior management must inform the secretary of the Board of Directors of MAPFRE in writing regarding any transaction that they or individuals associated with them (in this last case, whenever the affected person is aware of it) intend to conduct with MAPFRE or with any other company of its Group and which constitutes a related-party transaction subject to authorization by the Board of Directors.

E. RISK CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
E.1 Explain the scope of the company's risk management system, including taxation.
The consolidated group of insurance companies has a Risk Management System (RMS) based on the integrated management of each
and every business process and in accordance with the risk level and established strategic objectives. The different types of risks have
been grouped under four areas, or categories, as described below:
- Financial and Credit Risks: This includes interest rate, liquidity, exchange rate and credit risks.
provisions. - Insurance Activity Risk: This groups together, separately for Life and Non-Life, the risk of premium shortfalls and insufficient technical
nature, and competition risks. - Strategic and Corporate Governance Risks: This includes business ethics and corporate governance risks as well as risks related to
the organizational structure, alliances, mergers and acquisitions derived from the regulatory environment, including those of a tax
- Operational Risk: This includes possible losses arising from the inadequacy or malfunction of intemal processes, personnel or systems,
or arising from external events (not including risks arising from strategic decisions or reputational risk).
.

Operational risk includes compliance risk, which entails the risk of sanctions and material financial losses a comply with laws and other regulations, rules, internal and external standards or administrative requirements. Tax risk is considered to be a category of compliance risk in that it includes the risk of conflicting interpretations of tax law and the determination of market prices in transactions between related companies.

The governing bodies regularly receive half-yearly information relating to the quantification of the main risks to which the Group is exposed and the capital resources available to cover them, as well as information relating to compliance with the established risk appetite limits and other specific risk policies.

E.2 Identify the bodies of the company which are responsible for the preparation and implementation of the risk management system, including taxation.

The Regulations of the Board of Directors of MAPFRE set out the functions and responsibilities of the MAPFRE governing bodies and their committees and steering committees related to the risk management system.

The Board of Directors has the responsibility, which may not be delegated, to determine the general policies and strategies, and in particular the policy to identify, manage and control risks, including taxes, and monitor internal information and control systems.

The Steering Committee has the general capacity of decision with express delegation in its favor of all powers that correspond to the Board of Directors, except for those that may not be delegated by legal imperative or, where applicable, by express provision in the Corporate Bylaws or in the Regulations of the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A.

The Audit and Committee monitors the effectiveness of the company's internal control, internal auditing and the risk management systems, including taxes.

The Risk Committee is the delegate body of the Board of Directors that supports and advises the Board on the definition and evaluation of the Group's risk management policies and on the determination of its susceptibility to risk and the risk strategy

Its functions in the framework of the risk management system are as follows:

  • To support and advise the Board of Directors on the definition and evaluation of the risk policies of the Group and on the determination of the susceptibility to risk and the risk strategy.

  • To assist the Board of Directors in overseeing the implementation of the risk strategy.

  • To be familiar with and assess the risk management methods and tools, monitoring the models applied regarding results and validation

E.3 List the main risks, including tax risks, which might affect the achievement of the business objectives.

1. Financial and Credit Risks

MAPFRE mitigates its exposure to this type of risk by means of a prudent investment policy characterized by a high proportion of topquality fixed-income securities.

Four different types of portfolios are managed within the investment portfolio:

  • Those that seek strict immunization from the obligations deriving from insurance contracts.
  • Portfolios that cover unit-linked policies made up of assets whose risk is assumed by the policyholders

Those that look to exceed the guaranteed return and achieve the highest return for the policyholders within prudential parameters, such as portfolios with profit sharing

Open-management portfolios where the active management is only conditioned by legal rules and by internal risk limits.

In the first case, immunized portfolios minimize interest rate risk through matching adjustments and immunization techniques based on the matching of flows and duration

In the second case, portfolios that cover the unit-linked policies are made up of financial instruments whose risk is assumed by the policyholders.

A certain degree of market risk is accepted in the remaining portfolios, as set out below:

The management variable for interest rate risk is modified duration, which is conditioned by the limits established in the investment plan approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. for open-management portfolios, and the modified duration of liabilities in the event of long-term commitments to policyholders.

The exposure to exchange rate risk is minimized in the case of insurance liabilities. For investment management reasons, the exposure to this type of risk may not exceed the fixed percentage established in the annual investment plan.

Investments in shares are subject to a maximum limit of the investment portfolio.

The risk limitations are established in easily-observable quantitative terms of variables. However, a risk analysis in probabilistic terms is carried out in accordance with past volatility and correlations

With regard to credit risk, the policy is based on applying criteria of prudence in line with the issuer's solvency and seeking a high degree of geographical correspondence between the issuers of the assets and the commitments. The fixed-income and equity investments are subject to limits per issuer.

The credit risk management policy establishes limits according to the risk profile of the counterparty or of the investment instrument, as well as exposure limits related to the counterparty's rating. There is also a system for monitoring and reporting credit risk exposure.

The Security Committee reviews the main exposures to insurance and reinsurance counterparties.

2. Insurance Activity Risk

The organization of MAPFRE, specializing in various business lines, requires them to be highly autonomous in the management of their business, in particular in the underwriting of risks and tariff fixing, as well as the indemnities or provision of services in the case of incident

The adequacy of premiums is an element of particular importance and its determination is supported by specific software applications.

Claims processing and the adequacy of provisions are basic principles of insurance management. Technical provisions are estimated by the actuarial teams of the different companies and their amount is validated by an independent party that did not participate in the calculation. The prevalence of the personal injuries business at MAPFRE, with rapid liquidation of claims, and the relative insignificance of long-term risks insured, such as asbestos or professional liability, are elements mitigating the risk of insufficient technical provisions.

MAPFRE operates in countries highly prone to disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.), which calls for special treatment of these types of risk. Companies exposed to this type of risks have specialized analyses on catastrophe exposure, usually drawn up by independent experts, which estimate the extent of the losses in the event of a catastrophe occurring. Underwriting catastrophic risks is undertaken based on this information and the economic capital available to the underwriter. Where appropriate, the equity exposure to these types of risk is mitigated by taking out specific reinsurance coverage.

In this respect, it is important to highlight the contribution of MAPFRE RE, which provides the Group with its extensive experience in the catastrophe risk market. Every year this company determines the global catastrophic capacity that it assigns to each territory and establishes the maximum underwriting capacity per risk and event. It also has risk retrocession protection programs to cover deviations or increases in catastrophe claims in different territories.

MAPFRE's policy with respect to reinsurance risk is to cede business to reinsurers with proven financial capacity, which basically means those with a high credit rating (quality grade 2 or higher). Business is ceded to other reinsurers on an exceptional basis after an internal analysis demonstrating the possession of a solvency margin equivalent to the aforementioned classification or if adequate guarantees are provided.

3. Operational Risk

Operational risks are identified and assessed through the risk control model, which is based on a dynamic analysis of each company process by process, in which the managers of each area or department assess the potential risks that affect their activities and the effectiveness of the controls related to each process. This control is conducted using risk self-evaluation questionnaires, internal control manuals, inventory controls associated with risks, assessment of their effectiveness, and the corrective measures in place to mitigate or reduce the risks and/or improve the control environment.

With respect to tax risks, the performance of the Group in the field of taxation has always been dominated by compliance with current tax legislation in the territories in which it operates, which constitutes a practical application of the institutional principle of ethically and socially responsible taxation.

The tax risks of the Group in each jurisdiction are handled internally by the Administration and Tax Affairs departments, subcontracting tax consulting services with the leading companies in the sector whenever required.

As regards the valuation of transactions between Group companies, significant in terms of global projects, technology and reinsurance, annual reviews and the documentation of individual transactions are conducted in collaboration with an independent expert firm.

4. Strategic and Corporate Governance Risks

MAPFRE has always applied ethical principles to its business management and indeed these principles form part of its bylaws and dayto-day activities. In order to streamline this business culture and update the legal governance and management transparency requirements, on June 24, 2015 the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. approved the "MAPFRE Group Institutional, Business and Organizational Principles", the minimum mandatory framework for all the companies making up MAPFRE and their respective governing bodies. The strict application of these principles is considered the most efficient way to mitigate this type of risk.

E.4 Identify whether the company has a tolerance level for risks, including tax risks.

The risk appetite document of the MAPFRE Group, approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A., establishes the risk level that the Group would be ready to assume to attain its business objectives with no relevant deviations, even in adverse situations. That level, which defines limits and sub-limits per risk type, constitutes the MAPFRE Group's risk appetite.

As one of its risk management objectives, the MAPFRE Group strives to maintain an admissible amount of shareholders' equity at the consolidated level which is equivalent to a target solvency ratio of 200 percent of the solvency capital required under Solvency II, with a tolerance of 25 percentage points. A secondary risk management objective is to maintain a sufficient level of economic capital at the consolidated level to meet its obligations in accordance with a rating of "A" or higher, or its equivalent.

The prospective capital required of the insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries is generally determined pursuant to an estimation based on the budgets for the following financial year, and it is reviewed on a regular basis during the course of the year in line with risk trends.

For other metrics that quantify the MAPFRE Group's aggregate risk, tolerance levels are established on the basis of a "traffic light" system (green, amber and red).

E.5 Indicate the risks, including tax risks, which have arisen during the financial year.

In 2017 insurance activity risks materialized as a result of several catastrophic events, including three hurricanes (Harvey, Irma and Maria) and two earthquakes (Puebla and Chiapas). While these events had a significant effect on the result for the period (with the net impact estimated at 176.4 million euros), reinsurance protection for this type of event proved to be effective because in spite of the number and intensity of these events (which implied additional benefits in excess of 1 billion euros), the Group still complied with the legal solvency requirements and remains within the tolerance limits defined in the risk appetite.

With regard to Financial and Credit Risks, in 2017 the euro appreciated against the currencies of some of the main subsidiaries, such as the U.S. dollar and Brazilian real, which had a negative effect on the Group's shareholders' equity (through negative currency conversion differences) and on the operating results and cash flows in euros from those subsidiaries.

E.6 Explain the response and supervision plans for the company's main risks, including tax risks.

The risk management system is integrated into the company's organization structure through the three-lines-of-defense model, as follows:

  • a) A first line of defense made up of employees, management and the operational, business and support areas that assume the risks and are responsible for designing and applying the necessary control mechanisms to mitigate the risks associated with the processes they carry out and to guarantee that they do not exceed the established limits.
  • As the second line of defense, the Risk Management Function and other assurance functions facilitate and manage the effective implementation of the controls established by the first line of defense and assist the risk owners with the identification $b)$
  • The third line of defense is Internal Audit, an independent area that evaluates the risk management, internal control and $\mathbf{C}$ governance processes within the organization.

The MAPFRE Board of Directors is the ultimate body responsible for ensuring the efficiency of the risk management system, establishing the risk profile and tolerance limits, and approving the main strategies and policies for identifying, managing and controlling risks, including tax risks, and supervising the internal information and control systems.

To guarantee efficient risk management, MAPFRE has developed a set of risk management policies which identify the different types of risks to which it is exposed and establish the acceptable risk appetite, measures to mitigate the impact of the risks identified should they materialize, and the relevant internal information and control systems to use.

In carrying out their functions, the risk management areas coordinate the strategies, processes and procedures necessary to continuously identify, measure, monitor, manage and report the risks to which the company is or may be exposed, as well as their interdependencies.

The Group's General Counsel is responsible for issuing instructions and monitoring compliance with the various regulations affecting the company and the Group. General Counsel also obtains information from the Tax Affairs Department about the tax risks detected in each country

In any case, the actions to adopt regarding the risks identified are decided by the Board of Directors, which is informed immediately of any risk which:

  • Depending how it evolves, may exceed the established risk limits.
  • May lead to losses equal to or in excess of the established risk limits.
  • May compromise compliance with the solvency requirements or business continuity.

At the operational level, the MAPFRE Group has a corporate business continuity model developed by the Security and Environment Area, the ultimate aim of which is to be able to provide a timely and effective response should a high-impact incident occur, therefore minimizing the damage caused. The model adopts the form of contingency plans that include recovery strategies for each process based on the criticality of the process and situation and the availability of the elements affected (employees, buildings, technology and providers)

F INTERNAL RISK CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL REPORTING PROCESS (ICFR)

Describe the mechanisms that comprise control systems and risk management in relation to the company's procedure for the issuing of financial information (ICFR).

F.1 Control environment of the company

Report on the following, indicating the main characteristics:

F.1.1 Which bodies and/or functions are responsible for: (i) the existence and maintenance of an appropriate and effective ICFR; (ii) its implantation; and (iii) its supervision.

The MAPFRE internal control system takes the form of a set of continuous processes for which the MAPFRE S.A. Board of Directors is ultimately responsible. The Board is assisted by the Executive Committee and the executive teams of the different units, companies, corporate areas and other departments as regards the implementation, update and monitoring of the tasks and processes related to compliance with the objectives of the internal control system. The MAPFRE internal control system is implemented across the organization through the three-lines-of-defense model, as indicated in the latest update to the Group's internal control policy, approved by the Board of Directors on December 21, 2017.

The Regulation of the Board of Directors, which was amended and approved on February 7, 2017, with effect from March 10, 2017, includes the functions and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, the Steering Committee and other Board committees (Audit and Compliance, Appointments and Remuneration, and Risk).

The Board of Directors delegates ordinary management to the Steering Committee and to Senior Management, and reserves the approval of risk control and management policies and approval of the periodic follow-up of both internal information and control systems and financial information to be published, owing to its status as a listed company.

The Executive Committee is the body which, under mandate from the Board of Directors, exercises direct supervision over management of the business units and corporate areas and ensures the coordinated actions of the same.

The Audit and Compliance Committee, in its capacity as a delegate body of the Board of Directors, and in relation to the internal information and control systems, is responsible, among other things, for supervising the preparation and presentation of the requisite financial information and presenting recommendations or proposals to the Board of Directors in order to safeguard the integrity of the information. It also regularly reviews the efficacy of internal control and the risk management systems to ensure that the main risks are identified, managed and sufficiently well known.

The document titled "Internal Audit Policy and Charter," which was updated and approved by the Audit and Compliance Committee on November 29, 2017 and by the Board of Directors on December 21, 2017, sets out the main Internal Control System supervisory activities as well as those relating to the Solvency II Directive, conducted by the Audit and Compliance Committee through the Corporate Internal Audit Area, which are listed in section 5.1 of this document.

F.1.2. Whether there are, particularly relative to the procedure for the preparation of financial information, the following items:

Departments and/or mechanisms entrusted with: (i) the design and review of the organizational structure; (ii) the clear definition of lines of responsibility and authority, with an appropriate distribution of tasks and functions; and (iii) ensuring the existence of sufficient procedures for correct diffusion in the company.

The regulation on the Institutional, Business and Organizational Principles of the MAPFRE Group, approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. at its meeting on June 24, 2015 and amended on February 7, 2017 with effect from March 10, 2017, is the minimum mandatory framework for all the companies making up MAPFRE and their respective governing bodies

The Board of Directors reviews and authorizes the Group's organizational structure and approves the lines of responsibility and authority based on the organizational structure defined. On October 20, 2017 the Board of Directors approved the new management organization chart, which entered into force on January 1, 2018.

The distribution of functions and definition of scopes of activity/authority and of hierarchical levels are undertaken in line with the organizational structure manual approved by the Corporate Human Resources Area.

Concordance between the organization of positions and the hierarchical structure is essential because it maps functions to roles and responsibilities, ensuring that business activities are conducted properly.

The Corporate Finance Area establishes the accounting policies and standards applicable to the Group and is responsible for the coordination between the various business units and corporate areas in relation to the consolidated financial information preparation procedure

Code of conduct, approval body, degree of diffusion and instruction, principles and values included (indicating if there are specific mentions to the registry of operations and preparation of financial information), body entrusted with analyzing noncompliance and recommending corrective measures and sanctions.

The Code of Ethics and Conduct approved on December 21, 2017 by the Board of Directors, replaces the previous version approved in 2016, that also replaces the one approved in 2009.

It aims to reflect corporate values and the basic principles that should guide the conduct of MAPFRE and its staff.

Communication campaigns were conducted to ensure that all employees were aware of the code, and it is available to them on the Intranet and the Group's website.

By December 31, 2017, a total of 24,353 employees worldwide had completed the e-learning course on the Code of Ethics and Conduct (approximately 60 percent of the workforce)

The code sets out specific principles that are binding for all employees, regarding the processing of the Group's financial information so as to ensure its confidentiality, integrity and availability in accordance with MAPFRE's information security policy. It also states that all employees are responsible for ensuring that the information provided is accurate, clear and truthful.

To guarantee application of the code, as well as supervision and control of its compliance, the Ethics Committee is entrusted with ensuring its compliance and analyzing and resolving any complaints lodged as a result of its violation. Any employee who has a query about the application of the code, or who observes a situation that might involve a breach or violation of any of the principles and rules of ethics or conduct, must report it to the Ethics Committee, which acts within the scope of its advisory functions or resolves any complaints that may arise regarding breaches of the code.

To notify the Ethics Committee of any queries or complaints, employees have access to an Ethical Whistleblower Channel on the Group's internal portal. The operation of this channel is set out in the Code of Ethics and Conduct.

Every year, the Ethics Committee reports to the Steering Committee on the activities carried out during the financial year.

Whistleblower channel that allows employees to report financial and accounting irregularities to the Audit Committee, in addition to possible breaches of the code of conduct and irregular activities in the organization, indicating whether any of the information reported is confidential.

In addition to the Ethical Whistleblower Channel indicated in the previous section, there is a Financial and Accounting Whistleblower Channel which allows Group employees to report any potentially significant financial and accounting irregularities they observe to the Audit and Compliance Committee confidentially, via an electronic mailbox or written correspondence to a specific address.

The operating rules of the MAPFRE Group Financial and Accounting Whistleblower Channel, approved by the Audit Committee in 2011 and updated in 2016, are published on the Group's intranet or internal portal.

The Audit and Compliance Committee receives the complaints and reviews and resolves them by addressing each one as it deems appropriate. In order to perform its functions properly, it relies on assistance from General Counsel and the Corporate Internal Audit Area.

In cases of complaints concerning the Group's subsidiary companies which have their own mandatory Whistleblower Channel, the Audit and Compliance Committee and the competent body of the subsidiary company liaise in handling and resolving any complaints received.

The parties involved in the channel have controls for restricting access to the information, and the confidentiality of the whistleblower's identity is assured through the collection of personal data provided in accordance with the requirements of current data protection legislation.

General Counsel issues an annual report for the Audit and Compliance Committee outlining the activities conducted through the Whistleblower Channel and the final result of the complaints made

Regular training and refresher programs for staff involved in the preparation and review of financial information, as well as evaluation of the ICFR, covering at least the accounting rules, internal control and risk management.

MAPFRE has a Global Training Model that is the basis of the Corporate University. This university is organized into Schools of Knowledge, which encompass all of the training programs that are developed locally and globally.

Among the Technical Knowledge Schools, further progress was made on the creation of the Finance School with the aim of providing all employees in all the finance areas with the necessary knowledge to ensure efficient financial and risk management, a key aspect of MAPFRE's growth. The training content of this school is based on the following pillars:

  • Risk Management
  • Management, Administration and Accounting Control $\bullet$
  • Corporate Finance $\ddot{\phantom{a}}$
  • Investments

In 2017 MAPFRE organized several training programs in Spain on financial, risk and internal control issues, representing a total of 4,029 training hours delivered to 1,945 participants.

The Iberia Regional Area launched the financial certification training plan for the MAPFRE sales network, taught by Escuela FEF (Fundación Estudios Financieros)

Under the terms of the agreement signed by MAPFRE and FEF, a large group of sales professionals around Spain will have access to a high-level program that will train them as financial advisors recognized by the Spanish National Securities and Exchange Commission, as required under MIFID II. This training adds great value to the MAPFRE sales network by providing cutting-edge, complete and practical knowledge that will significantly help sales efforts related with savings and investments.

At the close of 2017, 186 employees and 179 brokers had received certification. Another 268 employees are currently enrolled

on the course and will complete the program in March 2018.

With a duration of 150 hours, the program uses a blended system: face-to face and video training, web support and forums.

With regard to e-learning, it is worth mentioning the "Internal Control Rules" course which all Group employees must take. In 2017 there were 3,850 course registrations. In the last nine years, a total of 63,057 employees and brokers have taken this course.

In 2015, a new e-learning course on the Regulatory Compliance Function was developed and incorporated into the eCampus platform. The purpose of this course is to share information on this function, its features, objectives and responsibilities and the importance of implementing the Compliance Function in organizations to minimize the risk of legal and regulatory noncompliance to which they are exposed. In 2017, 535 employees received 535 training hours through this course.

In 2017 an e-learning course on Solvency II was developed for employees worldwide. Available in the three corporate languages (Spanish, English and Brazilian Portuguese), this online training program will be rolled out in 2018.

Internal Audit training also continued in 2017, aiming to provide all professionals in MAPFRE audit areas around the world with the knowledge necessary to perform internal audits and to share established management tools and best practices.

With regard to business auditors, an international seminar for audit managers from all countries was held in May 2017 and attended by 35 employees. The main aims of this seminar, which is held every two years, is to discuss topics related to the audit function and business management in every country, as well as the latest developments in the insurance market and in the business lines in which MAPFRE operates.

Additionally, in November 2017 a training seminar was held for auditors in Spain and Portugal, attended by 67 employees. In this case, the contents focused mainly on aspects related to the Global Risks business unit, Solvency II, smart automation, accounting regulations, data protection issues and macroeconomic aspects of the insurance industry.

With regard to the preparation of financial information, General Counsel and the Corporate Finance Area issued memos containing instructions and updates on applicable regulations. The heads of the finance divisions also have specific models and instructions for preparing financial information, provided in the Consolidation Manual (which includes applicable accounting rules and policies), and the accounting models that are updated on an annual basis

F.2 Financial information risk assessment

Report on at least the following:

F.2.1. The main characteristics of the risk identification process, including error or fraud risks, in relation to:

Whether the process exists and is documented.

MAPFRE has a risk management system (hereinafter, RMS) that applies to Group companies, in accordance with the internal regulations of each of the risk categories considered.

The description of the RMS is included in Section E. Risk Control and Management Systems of this Corporate Governance Report

Regarding the risk control system, risk factors are identified for each of the processes that the Group considers to be critical, which are classified into 23 risk types. Among the risk factors listed for each process, one is always included on the registration and accounting of financial information.

These risk factors are associated with the key figures for the main items in financial statements. In this process of identifying the key figures, quantitative and qualitative factors (complexity of transactions, risk of fraud and other aspects) were considered.

The Group also updates and monitors its Risk Control System through specific questionnaires on controls and risk, implementing corrective measures where necessary.

Whether the procedure covers all financial information objectives (existence and occurrence; integrity; assessment; presentation, breakdown and comparability; and rights and obligations), whether it is updated and how frequently.

The risks that cover the objectives of existence and occurrence, integrity, assessment, presentation, breakdown and comparability, and rights and obligations of financial information are identified through the process of preparing the quarterly questionnaire on internal controls of financial information.

The purpose of this procedure is to identify and verify that controls are effective during the preparation of financial information, provide documentary evidence of the controls carried out by the company during the cash, consolidation, accounting and tax processes and of the result of their application, and act as an internal communications channel for sharing relevant information regarding the issue of financial information.

The procedure through which the Administration and Finance areas of the main companies provide documentary evidence, under a simple, streamlined system, of the main activities carried out and the controls run during the process of preparing financial information at MAPFRE insurance companies during the quarterly and annual closes, was reviewed in 2016.

The existence of a procedure for identifying the consolidation scope, bearing in mind, inter alia, the possible existence of complex corporate structures, instrumental companies or those with a special purpose.

The MAPFRE Consolidation Manual, prepared by the Corporate Finance Area, describes the process for identifying the scope of consolidation, which encompasses all the companies of the Group and is updated on a monthly basis.

The Consolidation Division provides the Consolidation Team Leader of each subgroup with the list of companies included in the scope of consolidation, along with the direct and indirect participation percentages and the consolidation method that applies. Any modification to the information provided must be reported to the Consolidation Division, which will make a decision on the modification after analyzing the reasons given.

The functional structure and the tasks assigned to the process managers are reflected in the Consolidation Manual.

Whether the procedure takes into account the effects of other risk types (operational, technological, financial, legal, reputational, environmental, etc.) insofar as they affect financial statements.

Risk control takes into account the different types of operational, technological, financial, legal, reputational and environmental risks, as well as the risks inherent in the insurance and reinsurance business

In this process, each risk factor, where appropriate, is linked to the section of the financial statements that would be affected if the potential risk became a reality, the main sections being: premiums, provisions, financial returns, acquisition expenses, administration expenses and benefit expenses.

Risk control is promoted in the Group, both in Spain and abroad, through the Riskm@p software application, which is developed internally by MAPFRE and which aids in the creation of company risk maps. These maps analyze the significance and probability of occurrence of different risks. The management model is based on a dynamic analysis by processes, in which the managers of each area or department identify and assess the potential risks that affect business and support processes, as well as key economic figures, among other aspects, by completing self-evaluation questionnaires.

Which of the company's governing bodies oversees the process?

The powers of the Audit and Compliance Committee with regard to the information and internal control systems include periodically reviewing the control internal systems and the risk identification and management systems. The Internal Control System and Risk Management System are reviewed at least once a year.

With regard to the ICFR report, the external audit reviews and analyzes its content and issues its own report on the consistency or impact of the information that pertains to it.

The ICFR report and the report prepared during the external audit are overseen by the Audit and Compliance Committee before they are presented to the Board of Directors.

F.3 Control activities

Indicate whether at least the following are in place and describe the main characteristics:

F.3.1. Procedures for reviewing and authorizing financial information and the ICFR description (to be published in securities markets), indicating responsible personnel, as well as descriptive documentation on activity and control flows (including those related to fraud risk) of the different types of transactions that could have a material effect on the financial statements, including the procedure for accounting closes and the specific review of relevant opinions, estimates, assessments and projections.

The financial reports on the annual accounts and biannual and quarterly information prepared by the Corporate Finance Area are submitted to the Audit and Compliance Committee first and then to the Board of Directors.

In the case of individual and consolidated annual accounts, the Chief Financial Officer, the Internal Audit General Manager and the executive responsible for preparing these accounts certify their accuracy and integrity to the Board of Directors.

The closing calendar, prepared by the Internal Accounting Control and Supervision Division, lists the main activities of the process of consolidating and preparing the annual and biannual accounts and the corresponding controls, providing deadlines for compliance.

The different Group companies report financial information through their assigned representatives, which the Corporate Finance Area consolidates to prepare the reports. During the consolidation process, controls are in place to detect any errors liable to significantly affect the financial statements;

The Audit and Compliance Committee supervises the following information:

  • The management report and individual and consolidated annual accounts of MAPFRE S.A. and its subsidiaries.
  • The report on the limited review of the intermediate summarized consolidated financial statements of MAPFRE S.A. corresponding to the intermediate period ending on June 30 of each financial year.
  • The information that MAPFRE S.A. sends to the Spanish National Securities and Exchange Commission (the "CNMV") every quarter. This economic-financial information is reviewed first by the Corporate Internal Audit Area, which issues a report in which it is emphasizes that the intermediate financial statements of MAPFRE S.A. were prepared by applying the same criteria as that applied to annual accounts and that these criteria are reasonable, objective and verifiable.
  • The information prepared by MAPFRE S.A. for investors and analysts, which is reviewed and analyzed by the Audit and Compliance Committee before publication.
  • Solvency II Pillar 2 and Pillar 3 documents: ORSA (Own Risk and Solvency Assessment), SFCR (Solvency and Financial Condition Report) and RSR (Regular Supervisory Report).

Additionally, as indicated in the previous section, each quarter the companies complete the questionnaire on internal controls of financial information. This questionnaire includes documented evidence of the activities and controls performed with regard to the main financial information processes.

In addition to the procedures indicated above, during the risk control process, internal control manuals and other descriptive documents are prepared that contain procedures and activities and the parties involved in them, identifying the associated risks and the controls for mitigating them, including those related to fraud risk and the accounting close process.

The Board of Directors bases its estimates and assumptions on hypotheses about the future and on uncertainties that basically refer to the technical provisions; losses from the impairment of certain assets; the calculation of provisions for risk and expenses; the actuarial calculation of retirement liabilities and commitments; the useful life of intangible assets and of property, plant and equipment items; and the fair value of certain non-listed assets.

The estimates and assumptions used are included in the accounting close instructions, are reviewed regularly, and are based on historical experience and on other factors that may be considered more reasonable at the time. If the review leads to changes in estimates in a given period, their effect is applied during that period and, if applicable, in subsequent periods.

F.3.2. Internal control policies and procedures for information systems (inter alia, safe access, change control, operation, operational continuity and separation of functions) that concern the company's relevant procedures in relation to the preparation and publication of financial information.

The Corporate Security and Environment Division, which reports to the Corporate Resources and Institutional Coordination Area, led by the First Vice Chairman, works directly with regulations related to information security.

In particular, the measures established are defined in an Information Security Document System (ISDS) or Information Security Regulations (ISR), organized according to the objectives defined in the Information Security Plan (PSI) approved by the Management Committee in 2004.

The information systems are subject to three types of security procedures and controls: preventive, informative and relative, resulting in the publication of standards, the monitoring of networks and systems, and the review of any measures and controls in place.

Among other aspects, the Information Security Regulations (ISR) set out the following: information systems must be tracked and monitored through inventory procedures to identify the resources and the information that they contain; verification of the identity of the people who use them; and the use of passwords in keeping with the password strength criteria laid down in the regulations, which help maintain the appropriate separation of functions.

To facilitate compliance with the obligations established in the ISR, MAPFRE has a General Control Center (which acts as a Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) and belongs to the international network known as FIRST or Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams). This center monitors activity in the networks and in the Group's information systems, and it is the body responsible for responding to potential security incidents.

Additionally, every year the Corporate Security and Environment Division implements a calendar of security checks to verify the security controls in place and discover any vulnerabilities in the information systems.

The Corporate Security Policy, approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. in 2015, and the rules and standards of these Information Security Regulations are all published on the global intranet to enable all employees to access them.

The Group also has a business continuity policy, governance framework and methodology defining the framework and actions necessary to guarantee the correct functioning of operations in the event of a high-impact incident and minimize the damage caused.

Every year the Corporate Internal Audit Area verifies the correct functioning of the internal control system of the main computer systems, whose scope includes general IT controls, the IT control environment and all applicable controls.

F.3.3. Internal control policies and procedures designed to supervise the management of activities subcontracted to third parties, as well as those aspects of evaluation, calculation or valuation entrusted to independent experts, which may have a material effect on financial statements.

All services subcontracted to third-parties are articulated through specific contracts and the contracting units or areas directly supervise the providers, except in the case of exceptional services (that are not recurring over time), which due to their reduced amount, duration and lesser importance are processed through the system based on the provider's offer

Providers are selected on the basis of objective criteria that assess factors such as quality, price, provider infrastructure, market recognition and, in particular, membership of the groups of associates that collaborate with the Group's companies and their track record in terms of service quality.

Compliance with prevailing legislation in the various countries and the implementation of security measures where warranted are prerequisites. Other highly rated attributes include response times, after-sales service, geographic reach and the added value they can contribute.

The Resources and Institutional Coordination Area is currently deploying a global service procurement and contracting plan in every country. The plan includes different categories, one of which is the external services category for services that have a potential financial impact stemming from the required evaluation, calculation or valuation. The external services currently include those related to auditing, advising and property valuation.

In implementing this plan, in 2013 the Steering Committee approved the Procurement Regulations which contain the principles and basic criteria for the procurement of goods and services by all Group companies, irrespective of their geographic location and type of business. The Corporate Resources and Institutional Coordination Area also has in place a Procurement Procedure, defined internally, which complements the Procurement Regulations. This procedure was updated in 2017 and entered into force on January 1, 2018.

In general, providers are approved and contracted by the Procurement Area, and once the contract has been formalized it is the requester who ensures that the service is delivered correctly and in accordance with current legislation.

However, in the case of external services that are subcontracted for value estimation and require specific technical expertise (corporate transactions, asset and portfolio valuation, etc.), it is the areas themselves that contract and oversee the service directly since they have personnel qualified to assess the capacity and qualifications of the provider and the conclusions reflected in the reports issued.

Currently, the main providers that are contracted repeatedly have been approved and, in accordance with the Procurement Procedure, the aim is to approve all recurring providers or providers with special relevance for the MAPFRE Group.

F.4 Information and Communication

Indicate whether at least the following are in place and describe the main characteristics:

F.4.1. A specific function responsible for defining, keeping accounting policies up-to-date (accounting policies area or department) and resolving queries or disputes derived from their interpretation, maintaining continuous communication with those responsible for operations in the organization, as well as an updated manual of accounting policies that is communicated to the units through which the company operates.

The Internal Accounting Control and Supervision Division, which reports to the Corporate Finance Area, is responsible for updating accounting policies and applicable rules that concern the Group's financial information, and for resolving queries and disputes derived from their interpretation.

This division also maintains a close and fluid relationship with the financial divisions of the different companies and with the corporate areas, to which it communicates formally established accounting procedures and rules.

The Group's subsidiaries receive the information about the applicable procedures and regulations through the parent companies of the subgroups, which receive the instructions directly from the Internal Accounting Control and Supervision Division.

The Internal Accounting Control and Supervision Division updates the individual and consolidated annual accounting models used by the various Group companies, which include accounting policies and breakdowns of information to be presented. The Consolidation Division of the Corporate Finance Area defines instructions on accounting policies and breakdowns for preparation of the Group's consolidated information using the consolidation manual.

At least once a year, and during the last quarter of the financial year, the annual accounting models and the consolidation manual are reviewed and any changes are reported to the parties involved. However, whenever there are changes that affect periods of time of less than one year, these changes are reported immediately.

F.4.2. Mechanisms for the capture and preparation of financial information with standard formats, for application and use by all units of the company or the Group, that support the main financial statements and notes, as well as information provided on the ICFR.

Since March 2010, the financial information of the MAPFRE Group companies has been managed using the corporate consolidation application, a tool that constitutes a centralized database (common and single data repository). This application has been programmed to automatically execute the consolidation entries and process controls, which guarantees that the criteria set out in the consolidation manual are applied uniformly to all the automatic entries and minimizes the likelihood of errors.

Within the procedure for preparing financial information, the consolidation certificates constitute the channel of communication about the information required in the consolidation procedure or in the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The certificates are reviewed and updated at least one a year.

Based on the information contained in the consolidation certificates and using the accounting model prepared by the Internal Accounting Control and Supervision Division, the Consolidation Division prepares the annual accounts and all the other financial statements

The Internal Accounting Control and Supervision Division is responsible for preparing the ICFR-related report. To do this, it identifies the areas involved in the financial information preparation process, sends them instructions on how to complete the report, and at least once a year asks them to update the support documentation for the actions performed.

F.5 Supervision of the system's operation

Report on the following, indicating the main characteristics:

F.5.1. The supervision activities of the ICFR conducted by the Audit Committee and whether the company has an internal audit function that includes supporting the committee in its supervision of the internal control system, including the ICFR. At the same time, the scope of evaluation of the ICFR conducted during the financial year and the procedure whereby the person responsible for executing the evaluation notifies the results, whether the company has an action plan defining possible corrective measures, and whether its impact on financial information has been taken into account.

MAPFRE S.A. has an Corporate Internal Audit Area which since 2014 has comprised six Internal Audit Departments located in Spain (Iberia Insurance, LATAM Insurance, International Insurance, Reinsurance, Asistencia and Global Risks, and Information Technologies), a Continuous Internal Audit Unit in Spain and 25 internal audit units and departments in the countries, which are fully independent and review and evaluate the suitability and correct functioning of all Group procedures, as well as the Internal Control System.

The structure of MAPFRE's Corporate Internal Audit Area depends functionally on the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. through the Audit and Compliance Committee (delegate body of the Board) and on the Chairman of the Board in particular.

The managers of the audit departments and units depend (functionally and hierarchically) on the General Manager of Intemal Auditing.

The Audit and Compliance Committee supervises the financial information described in the previous Section F.3.1 of this report, and also approves the Internal Audit Plan and monitors it on a quarterly basis.

The Audit Plan outlines the supervisory work that the Corporate Internal Audit Area will carry out during the next financial year, the content and scope of which are established in terms of the risks identified, requests received and own experience. The plan is managed uniformly through a single Group-wide technological platform that allows the information to be processed in accordance with the access levels established for the different responsibilities.

The MAPFRE Group Internal Audit Policy and Charter establishes the following functions, among others, for the Corporate Internal Audit Area

To supervise the suitability and efficacy of the Internal Control System and other elements of the Governance System, which is centered on:

  • Evaluating the suitability, sufficiency and efficacy of elements of the Internal Control System.
  • Evaluating the Risk Management System (RMS), based on the integrated management of all the business processes and adaptation of the risk level to MAPFRE's strategic objectives by reviewing, at least, the risk quantification and qualification processes stated in the Solvency II Directive. The Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA), which is mandatory for each insurance company or group of insurance companies, is one of the main aspects of the work to be
  • Evaluating the suitability and performance of the key functions set out in the governance system provided for in the
  • Contributing to good corporate governance by verifying compliance with the rules established by the MAPFRE Group's Institutional, Corporate and Organizational Principles and the Solvency II Directive.
  • To evaluate the reliability and integrity of accounting and individual and consolidated information and other economic information prepared by MAPFRE S.A., its subsidiaries, business units, territorial areas, regional areas and corporate areas, as well as the validity, sufficiency and application of the accounting and legal principles and rules.

The evaluation and assessment of the MAPFRE Internal Control System conducted by the Internal Audit Corporate Area follows a pre-established methodology based on variables such as the review of the IT internal control, the assessments of the audits conducted during the year and compliance with recommendations, which are first approved by the Audit and Compliance Committee. The result of this review is reflected in an annual report on the effectiveness of internal control procedures. Whenever appropriate, individual recommendations are made to the company with a view to improving the internal control system and then the Audit and Compliance Committee monitors their compliance.

Every year the Audit and Compliance Committee holds a meeting on internal control to analyze the assessments and any recommendations issued by the Corporate Internal Audit Area on the Internal Control System (which includes the ICFR).

The Corporate Internal Audit Area checks the internal control system for the main IT systems, as indicated in section 3.2 above.

The Corporate Internal Audit Area also analyzes the work it has conducted over the year and its impact on the financial statements.

Likewise, as part of the audit procedures performed to validate the annual financial statements, the external auditor issues a memorandum of recommendations after his/her interim visit, which is presented to the Audit and Compliance Committee.

F.5.2. Whether there is a procedure for discussion whereby the account auditor (pursuant to the provisions of the NTAs), the internal audit function and other experts can notify senior management and the Audit Committee or company directors of any significant weaknesses in internal control identified during procedures to review the annual accounts or others that may have been commissioned. Also indicate whether there is an action plan that endeavors to correct or mitigate the weaknesses observed.

The previous section F.5.1 indicates the procedure used by Internal Audit to report assessments of aspects relating to internal control

Communication with the external auditor is very frequent and fluid in the MAPFRE Group. Both at the beginning, during and at completion of work to review the company's annual accounts by the external auditors, planning, follow-up and coordination meetings are held and attended by the external auditors, internal auditors, General Counsel and the Corporate Finance Area. Additionally, on completion of the work a meeting is held with the General Manager of Internal Audit to discuss the results and conclusions detected. If there are any action plans to correct or mitigate the weaknesses observed, which also include the responses prepared by the division to implement the recommendations put forward by the external auditors, these plans are presented to the Audit and Compliance Committee. The external auditor attends the Audit and Compliance Committee when the agenda includes issues regarding the review of the annual and half-yearly accounts, their preliminary review, and whenever required on account of other issues.

F.6 Other relevant information

There is no other relevant information about the ICFR that has not been included in this report.

Auditors' Report on the "Information concerning the System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR)" of Mapfre, S.A. for 2017

(Translation from the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanishlanguage version prevails.)

To the Directors Mapfre, S.A.

As requested by the Board of Directors of Mapfre, S.A. (the "Company") and in accordance with our proposal letter dated 26 December 2017, we have applied certain procedures to the "Information concerning the ICFR" attached in section F of the Annual Corporate Governance Report of Mapfre, S.A. for 2017, which summarises the Company's internal control procedures for annual financial reporting.

The Board of Directors is responsible for adopting appropriate measures to reasonably ensure the implementation, maintenance and oversight of an adequate system of internal control, the development of improvements to that system and the preparation and definition of the content of the information concerning the ICFR attached.

In this respect, it should be borne in mind that irrespective of the quality of the design and operation of the internal control system adopted by the Company in relation to annual financial reporting, the system may only provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance in relation to the objectives pursued, due to the limitations inherent in any internal control system.

In the course of our audit work on the annual accounts and in accordance with Technical Auditing Standards, our evaluation of the Company's internal control was solely aimed at enabling us to establish the scope, nature and timing of the audit procedures. Consequently, the scope of our evaluation of the internal control, performed for the purposes of the audit of accounts, was not sufficient to enable us to issue a specific opinion on the efficiency of this internal control over regulated annual financial reporting.

For the purposes of issuing this report, we have applied only the specific procedures described below and set out in the Action Guide referring to the Auditors' Report on Information on Internal Control over Financial Reporting for listed entities, published on the website of the Spanish Securities Market Commission (CNMV), which defines the work to be performed, the minimum scope of the work and the content of this report. As the scope of the work resulting from these procedures is in any event limited and substantially less than that of an audit or review of the internal control system, we do not express an opinion on its effectiveness or design or operational efficiency, with respect to the Company's annual financial reporting for 2017 described in the attached Information concerning the ICFR. Consequently, had additional procedures been applied to those defined in the Action Guide, or an audit or review been performed of the internal control system in relation to regulated annual financial reporting, other events or matters could have been identified, which would have been reported to you.

KPMG Auditores S.L., a limited liability Spanish company and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"), a Swiss entity.

Entered on the Spanish Official Register of Auditors with number S0702, and the Spanish Institute of Registered Auditors' list of companies with reference No. 10. Filed at the Madrid Mercantile Registry in volume 11,961, sheet 90, section 8, page number M-188,007, entry number 9 Tax identification number (NIF): B-78510153

Moreover, as this special engagement does not constitute an audit of accounts nor is it subject to the current Audit Law in Spain, we do not express an audit opinion in the terms envisaged in such legislation.

The procedures applied were as follows:

  • 1 Reading and understanding of the attached information prepared by the Company in relation to the ICFR – disclosures included in the directors' report – and evaluation of whether it covers all the information required, taking into account the minimum content described in Section F, concerning the ICFR description, of the standard Annual Corporate Governance Report pursuant to CNMV Circular 7/2015 of 22 December 2015.
    1. Inquiries of personnel responsible for preparing the information detailed in point 1 above in order to: (i) gain an understanding of the preparation process; (ii) obtain information that allows us to assess whether the terminology used conforms to the definitions contained in the reference framework; (iii) obtain information on whether the control procedures described are in place and operational in the Company.
    1. Review of explanatory documentation supporting the information detailed in point 1 above, and which will mainly include that made directly available to those responsible for preparing the descriptive information on the ICFR. This documentation includes reports prepared by internal audit, senior management and other internal or external specialists supporting the audit and compliance committee.
    1. Comparison of the information detailed in point 1 above with the understanding of the Company's ICFR gained as a result of the procedures performed within the framework of the audit work on the annual accounts.
    1. Reading of the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors, audit and compliance committee and other committees of the Company for the purposes of assessing the consistency of the matters discussed at these meetings in relation to the ICFR with the information detailed in point 1 above.
    1. Procurement of a representation letter concerning the work performed, duly signed by those responsible for preparing and drawing up the information detailed in point 1 above.

As a result of the procedures applied to the Information concerning the ICFR, no inconsistencies or incidents have come to light that could affect it.

This report has been prepared exclusively in the context of the requirements established in Article 540 of the Spanish Companies Act and CNMV Circular 7/2015 of 22 December 2015 for the purposes of describing ICFR in the Annual Corporate Governance Reports.

Independent Auditor's Report on the Annual Accounts

(Translation from the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails.)

To the Shareholders of MAPFRE, S.A. commissioned by its Board of Directors

Report on the Annual Accounts

Opinión __________________________________________________________________

We have audited the annual accounts of MAPFRE, S.A. (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheet at 31 December 2017, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes for the year then ended.

In our opinion, the accompanying annual accounts give a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the equity and financial position of the Company at 31 December 2017, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework, specified in note 2 to the accompanying annual accounts and, in particular, with the accounting principles and criteria set forth therein.

Basis for Opinion _________________________________________________________

We conducted our audit in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Accounts section of our report.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those regarding independence, that are relevant to our audit of the annual accounts in Spain pursuant to the legislation regulating the audit of accounts. We have not provided any non-audit services, nor have any situations or circumstances arisen which, under the aforementioned regulations, have affected the required independence such that this has been compromised.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters ________________________________________________________

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the annual accounts as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Valuation of non-current investments in group companies and associates (Euros 9,464,934 thousand)

See note 8 of the notes to the annual accounts.

Key audit matters How the issue was addressed in our audit
The Entity, holding company of Mapfre Group, has
recognised non-current investments in group
companies and associates.
Recoverable value of these investments in group
companies and associates is determined by the use
of valuation technics that require of management
judgement and estimations that consider
macroeconomics factors, internal circumstances of
the Group companies and their competitors,
discount rates, growth rates or estimations of the
future evolution of their business.
Due to the level of uncertainty and judgement
associated to the mentioned estimations, as well as
the significance of the carried amount of the
investments, we consider this to be a key audit
matter.
Our audit procedures included, among others, the
following:
Evaluation of the criteria used by the Company
-
in the identification of impairment indicators of
the investments in group companies and
associates.
Understanding the process of estimation of the
-
recoverable value of the group investments and
associates, and evaluation of design and
implementation of the relevant controls related
to the process that the Company has in place.
Evaluation of the reasonability of the
-
methodology and hypothesis used in the
estimation of the recoverable value of the
investments in group companies and associates,
with the collaboration of our corporate finance
specialists.
We have reviewed the level of fulfilment of the
past years business plans, and we have
evaluated the information within the valuation
models against the company's business plans
and estimations of industry development
obtained from external sources.
Additionally, we have evaluated the discount
and growth rates used in the valuation model, as
well as performed sensitivity analysis over the
key inputs used in the model, with the goal of
assessing their impact in the valuation.
We have also evaluated if the information within the
annual accounts is in compliance with the applicable
legal financial reporting requirements.

Other Information: Directors' Report ______________________________________

Other information solely comprises the 2017 directors' report, the preparation of which is the responsibility of the Parent's Directors and which does not form an integral part of the annual accounts.

Our audit opinion on the annual accounts does not encompass the directors' report. Our responsibility regarding the information contained in the directors' report is defined in the legislation regulating the audit of accounts, which establishes two different levels for this information:

  • a) A specific level applicable to non-financial information included in the Annual Corporate Governance Report, as defined in article 35.2. b) of the Audit Law 22/2015, which consists of merely verifying that this information has been provided in the directors' report and, if not, report on this matter.
  • b) A general level applicable to the rest of the information included in the directors' report, which consists of assessing and reporting on the consistency of this information with the annual accounts, based on knowledge of the Company obtained during the audit of the aforementioned accounts and without including any information other than that obtained as evidence during the audit. Also, assessing and reporting on whether the content and presentation of this part of the directors' report are in accordance with applicable legislation. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there are material misstatements, we are required to report them.

Based on the work carried out, as described in the preceding paragraphs, we have verified that the specific information mentioned in a) above has been provided in the directors' report and that the rest of the information contained in the directors' report is consistent with that disclosed in the annual accounts for 2017 and the content and presentation of the report are in accordance with applicable legislation.

Directors' and Audit and Compliance Committee's Responsibility for the Annual Accounts _________________________________________________________

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying annual accounts in such a way that they give a true and fair view of the equity, financial position and financial performance of the Company in accordance with the financial reporting framework applicable to the entity in Spain, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the annual accounts, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Audit and Compliance Committee is responsible for overseeing the preparation and presentation of the annual accounts.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Accounts

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual accounts.

As part of an audit in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, and not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the annual accounts or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual accounts, including the disclosures, and whether the annual accounts represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the annual accounts. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company´s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Company regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Company's Audit and Compliance Committee with a statement that we have complied with the applicable ethical requirements, including those regarding independence, and to communicate with them all matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated to the Company's Audit and Compliance Committee, we determine those that were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts of the current period and which are therefore the key audit matters.

We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Additional Report to the Audit and Compliance Committee

The opinion expressed in this report is consistent with our additional report to the Company's Audit and Compliance Committee dated February 8, 2018.

ANNUAL REPORT

2017

COMPANY ACTIVITY $1.$

MAPFRE S.A. (the "Company") is a corporation (Spanish "sociedad anónima") whose main activity is the investment of its funds in real-estate assets and tradeable financial securities.

The Company's scope of action includes all Spanish territory.

The registered offices are at Crta. de Pozuelo, 52, Majadahonda (Madrid, Spain). The Company is the parent of the MAPFRE Group, which comprises MAPFRE S.A. and several companies operating in the insurance, property, financial and services sectors.

The Company is a subsidiary of CARTERA MAPFRE, S.L. (Single Member Company), with registered address at Carretera de Pozuelo, 52, Majadahonda (Madrid, Spain). The annual accounts of that company for the year ended December 31, 2017 will be prepared by its Board of Directors on March 22, 2018 and will be placed on file at the Madrid Companies' Registry.

The ultimate controlling company is Fundación MAPFRE, a non-profit company whose registered address is Paseo de Recoletos No. 23, Madrid and whose consolidated annual accounts will be filed with the Madrid Companies' Registry and a copy sent to the Foundations Register.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS $2.$

a) TRUE AND FAIR VIEW

The application of legal provisions regarding accounting matters have resulted in a true and fair view of the Company's equity, financial position and results for the year, as well as of the accuracy of the cash flows reported on the cash flow statement. The directors consider that it is not necessary to include supplementary information in this regard.

The Board of Directors expects the individual and consolidated annual accounts for 2017, which were prepared on February 7, 2018 to be approved by the Annual General Meeting with no changes.

$\mathbf{q}$

b) ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Spanish General Chart of Accounts approved under Royal Decree 1514/2007 of November 16 and subsequently amended through Royal Decree 1159/2010 of September 17 and Royal Decree 602/2016 of December 2, as well as with all other applicable mercantile legislation.

c) CRITICAL ASPECTS OF MEASURING AND ESTIMATING UNCERTAINTY

When preparing the annual accounts, judgments and estimates were used that are based on assumptions about the future and uncertainties. These primarily refer to impairment of the value of assets, deferred tax assets and provisions.

The estimates and assumptions used are reviewed regularly, and are based on historical experience and on other factors that have been deemed most reasonable in each instance. If these reviews lead to changes in estimates in a given period, their effect would apply to that period and, as the case may be, to subsequent periods.

d) COMPARISON OF INFORMATION

There is nothing preventing the annual accounts of the current year from being compared with those of the previous year.

e) CORRECTIONS OF ERRORS

No significant errors were found in the Company's annual accounts from previous years.

DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS 3.

The Company's Board of Directors has proposed the following distribution of profits for approval at the Annual General Meeting:

BASIS OF DISTRIBUTION AMOUNT
Profit and loss account 495,530,493.41

The planned distribution of dividends in the distribution of profits complies with the requirements and limitations established under legal regulations and the corporate bylaws. The requirements and limitations related to restricted reserves are set out in Note 9 "Equity".

In 2017, the Company distributed an interim dividend for a total amount of 184,773,196.38 euros (184,772,628.34 euros in 2016), which is recorded in equity under the heading "Interim dividend."

Thousand euro

The distribution of profits for 2016, carried out during 2017, is presented in the statement of total changes in equity.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT STANDARDS $\Delta$ .

The recognition and measurement standards applied are indicated below:

a) Fixed assets

Intangible assets

Intangible assets recognized comply with the identifiability criterion and carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses.

Intangible assets are measured at the cost of acquisition or production. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis.

Property, plant and equipment

The assets included under property, plant and equipment are measured at cost of acquisition or production, including indirect taxes that are not directly recoverable, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis, on the cost of the asset less the residual value and less the value of land, in accordance with the estimated useful life.

The costs of renovating, expanding or improving property, plant and equipment goods are included as the greatest value of the asset when they entail an increase in capacity, productivity or extension of the useful life of each asset.

Impairment of fixed assets

At least at the close of the fiscal year and provided evidence of impairment is detected, the Company evaluates whether there are any signs that the asset items may have suffered a loss in value. If such evidence exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.

Recoverable amount is the greater of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

If the book value exceeds the recoverable amount, the excess is recognized as a loss, reducing the book value of the asset to its recoverable amount.

Corrections in value due to impairment, as well as the reversal of the asset items, are recognized as an expense or revenue, respectively, in the profit and loss account, under the item "Impairment and gains/(losses) from disposal of fixed assets."

If there is an increase of the recoverable amount of an asset other than the goodwill, the loss due to the previously recognized impairment is reversed, increasing the book value of the asset to its recoverable amount. This increase never exceeds the book value, net of amortization or depreciation, that would be recorded had an impairment loss not been recognized in previous years. The reversal is recognized in the profit and loss account, unless the asset was previously subject to revaluation against "Valuation adjustments", in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. After this reversal, the depreciation cost is adjusted for subsequent periods.

b) Operational leases

The Company classifies the lease contracts it holds as operational leases given that the lessor does not substantially transfer to the lessee all the risks and benefits of the property.

The revenue and expenses arising from operational leasing are recorded in the profit and loss account for the life of the contract, following the principle of accrual.

c) Financial instruments

FINANCIAL ASSETS

All assets corresponding to cash, equity instruments of other companies, or that entail a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset, or any exchange of financial instruments under favorable conditions, are classified as financial assets.

The fair value of financial assets is determined through the use of market prices, provided that the available quotations of the instruments can be considered representative. In order for them to be considered as such, they must be published regularly in standard information systems provided by recognized financial brokers.

If market valuation is not possible, a valuation will be performed with internal models using, as far as possible, public market data that satisfactorily replicates the valuation of the instruments quoted. This valuation methodology will be based on the discounting of future asset flows (determined or estimated) using the discount curve free from risk. Depending on the characteristics of the issue concerned and the issuer, a specific credit risk will be assigned, which will apply to a different degree to each of the flows to be received.

Operations in the currency market are recorded on the settlement date, while financial assets traded in secondary markets of the Spanish market are recognized on the trading date, for equity instruments, and on the settlement date, for debt securities.

Financial assets are classified as:

Loans and receivables

This category includes receivables for commercial and non-commercial operations.

Following initial recognition at their fair value, they are measured at amortized cost. The interest accrued is posted in the profit and loss account, applying the effective interest method.

Loans and receivables also include deposits in credit institutions, which are measured at amortized cost. Income generated on these deposits is recognized at the effective interest rate.

Receivables for commercial operations and other line items, such as advances, personnel loans or dividends receivable with maturity of up to one year and without a contractual interest rate are measured at their face value when the effect of not updating cash flows is not significant to the initial recognition or to subsequent valuation, unless there is impairment.

Impairment exists when there is a decrease or delay in future estimated cash flows that could result from debtor insolvency.

Corrections in value due to impairment and its reversal, if applicable, are made at the close of the fiscal year, recognizing an expense or revenue, respectively, in the profit and loss account. Nevertheless, impairment losses may only be reversed up to the limit of the amortized cost that would have been recorded if an impairment loss had not been recognized in previous years.

Financial assets held for trading

Derivative financial instruments that do not entail a financial guarantee contract and were not designated as a hedging instrument are classified in this category.

Initial recognition and subsequent valuation are done at fair value, without subtracting transaction costs. The changes that occur in the fair value are posted in the profit and loss account for the fiscal year.

Investment in the equity of Group, multi-group and associated companies

Investment in Group, multi-group and associated company equity is initially recognized and measured at cost minus the accumulated amount of corrections in value due to impairment, if applicable.

In the case of non-monetary contributions to Group companies, the contributor values the investment at the book value of the assets and liabilities delivered in the Group's most recent consolidated annual accounts. Any difference between the book value of the investment contributed and the value assigned to the interest received is posted in a reserve account.

When a value is assigned due to a balance sheet cancellation or for another reason, the weighted average cost method is applied for homogenous groups.

In the case of the sale of preemptive subscription rights and similar rights or the division of these rights to exercise them, the cost of the rights reduces the book value of the respective assets.

At the close of the fiscal year, when there is objective evidence that the book value of the investment is not recoverable, the necessary corrections in value are made.

The amount of the correction in value corresponds to the difference between the book value of the investment and the recoverable amount. The latter is the greatest difference between its fair value minus sale costs and the present value of the future cash flows derived from the investment.

Corrections in value due to impairment and its reversal, if applicable, are recorded as an expense or revenue for the fiscal year in the profit and loss account.

Financial assets available for sale

This category includes debt securities and equity instruments of other companies that are not classified in any other financial asset category.

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement are at fair value, plus the preferential subscription rights acquired, without subtracting transaction costs that could arise from disposal.

Changes in fair value are recognized directly in equity until the financial asset is written off or impairment is perceived, at which time they are recorded in the profit and loss account.

Corrections in value due to impairment and gains or losses arising from foreign exchange differences in monetary financial assets in foreign currencies are recorded in the profit and loss account. The amount of interest calculated applying the effective interest rate method and dividends accrued are also recorded in the profit and loss account.

Investment in equity instruments whose fair value may not be reliably calculated are measured at their cost minus the accumulated amount of corrections in value due to value impairment.

When a value is assigned to these assets due to derecognition or for another reason, the weighted average cost method is applied for homogenous groups.

In case of sale of preemptive subscription rights and similar rights, the cost of the rights reduces the book value of the respective assets.

At least at close of the financial year, the pertinent corrections in value are made, providing there is objective evidence that the value of an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, the amount of which is recognized in the profit and loss account. Reversals of corrections in value are credited to the profit and loss account, with the exception of equity instruments, the reversal for which is made directly in equity.

For equity instruments, investments are analyzed individually to determine whether any impairment exists, when the market has declined either over a prolonged period (18 months) or in a significant amount (40 percent) compared to cost.

Cash and other equivalent liquid assets

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits, while cash equivalents correspond to highly liquid short-term investments that can be easily converted to fixed amounts of cash and have an insignificant risk of change in value.

Interest and dividends received from financial assets

The interest and dividends from financial assets accrued after acquisition are recognized as revenue in the profit and loss account. The interest is recognized using the effective interest rate method, and dividends when the right to receive them is declared.

To this end, the amount of accrued and non-accrued explicit interest and the dividends agreed upon at the moment of acquisition are recorded independently in the initial valuation of financial assets, bearing in mind their maturity.

Additionally, when the distributed dividends come from earnings generated prior to the acquisition date, because amounts were distributed that are greater than the profits generated by the investee since the acquisition, they are not recognized as revenue and they reduce the book value of the investment.

Cancellation of financial assets

Financial assets are canceled when the contractual rights over the cash flows of the financial asset expire or when they are transferred, whereupon the risks and benefits derived from their ownership are substantially transferred.

When a financial asset is canceled, the difference between the net received compensation of the attributable transaction costs and the book value of the financial asset, plus any accumulated amount recognized directly as equity, determines the resulting gains or losses and is part of the result for the financial year.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

All instruments issued, incurred or assumed that imply a direct or indirect contractual obligation for the Company are recorded as financial liabilities, in accordance with the economic reality of delivering cash or another financial asset or exchanging financial assets and liabilities with third parties in unfavorable conditions.

Financial liabilities are classified as:

Debits and payables

These correspond to debits for commercial and non-commercial operations.

After initial recognition at their fair value (transaction price), they are measured at their amortized cost, and the interest is recorded in the profit and loss account, applying the effective interest rate method.

In the case of debits for commercial operations with maturity of up to one year and without a contractual interest rate, as well as third-party called capital for holdings whose amount will be paid in the short term, both the initial valuation and subsequent valuations are performed at the face value when the effect of not updating cash flows is not significant.

Financial liabilities held for trading

Derivative financial instruments that are not a financial guarantee contract and were not allocated as hedging instruments are classified in this category.

Initial recognition and subsequent valuation are performed at fair value, without subtracting transaction costs that could arise from disposal. The changes that occur in the fair value are posted to the profit and loss account of the fiscal year.

The put options on the stake held by a minority shareholder in a controlled company, when the acquirer does not have access to the economic profits associated with the shares subject to the option, are recognized both initially and subsequently at fair value.

Cancellation of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are canceled when the obligation inherent to them has expired. Additionally, acquired shareholders' financial liabilities are canceled even when there is an intention to reassign them in the future.

If there is an exchange of debt instruments with significantly different conditions, the original liability is canceled and the new liability is recognized.

The difference between the book value of the financial liability or the canceled part of the liability and the compensation paid, including attributable transaction costs and the compensation that encompasses any transferred asset other than the cash or liability assumed, is recognized in the profit and loss account during the fiscal year in which it occurs.

If there is an exchange of debt instruments without significantly different conditions, the original liability is not removed from the balance sheet, and the paid commissions are recorded as an adjustment to the book value.

Own equity instruments

All items that show a residual investment in Company assets once their liabilities have been deducted are classified in this category.

Treasury stock is assessed at its net acquisition cost and recorded in equity. Expenses incurred on acquisition are recognized in equity as a decrease in the value of reserves.

All transactions performed with own equity instruments are recorded under equity as a variation in the value of shareholders' equity.

d) Transactions in foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to euros by applying the exchange rate in force on the transaction date.

At the close of the fiscal year, the balances that correspond to monetary items expressed in foreign currencies are converted at the exchange rate of the euro on that date, and all exchange differences are allocated in the profit and loss account, except for monetary financial assets that are available for sale and in which exchange rates other than those generated from the amortized cost are recognized directly in equity.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are generally recorded by applying the exchange rate at the transaction date. When determining the equity of an investee company, corrected for the tacit capital gains that exist on the date of valuation, the closing exchange rate is applied to the equity and the tacit capital gains that exist on that date.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value are recorded by applying the exchange rate on the date when the fair value was determined, recognizing the losses and gains derived from the valuation in equity or in profit or loss, depending on the nature of the item.

When presenting the cash flow statement, the flows from transactions in foreign currencies are converted to euros by applying the cash exchange rate on the dates of exchange to the amount in foreign currency.

The effect of the variation in exchange rates on cash and other equivalent liquid assets expressed in foreign currency is presented separately in the cash flow statement as "Effect of the variations in exchange rates."

e) Tax on profits

Tax on profits is treated as an expense for the fiscal year and is recorded as such in the profit and loss account, including both the tax burden of the current tax and the effect corresponding to the movement of the deferred tax.

However, tax on profits related to items where modifications in their value are directly recognized in equity are not posted to the profit and loss account but to equity, and the changes in value are included in those items net of the tax effect.

The assets or liabilities due to current tax on profits are measured at the amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid, using the tax regulations and rates that are in force or approved and pending publication at the close of the fiscal year.

The Company files taxes as part of a consolidated tax group. The expense for corporate tax on the companies in the consolidated tax group is determined taking into account the parameters used in calculated individual tax as well as the following items:

Temporary and permanent differences arising as a result of eliminating gains and losses on intergroup transactions, derived from the processing of determining the consolidated tax base.

Tax credits and deductions corresponding to each Group company in the consolidated tax group. To that end, tax credits and deductions are recorded in the company that carried out the related activity or that obtained the gain necessary to secure the tax credit or deduction.

Temporary differences derived from the elimination of gains and losses between entities of the tax Group are recognized in the company that generated the gain or loss, and are measured at the applicable tax rate.

Tax losses incurred in certain Group companies that have been offset by profits of other companies in the Group give rise to a reciprocal credit and debit between the companies, as appropriate. In the event that tax losses cannot be offset by profits of other Group companies, the tax loss carryforwards are recognized as deferred tax assets by the corresponding companies, considering that they will be offset by future profits of the tax group.

The Company, as parent entity of the Group, recognizes the total amount payable for consolidated corporate tax as a payable or a receivable with the different Group and associated companies, as appropriate.

Deferred tax liabilities derived from temporary tax differences are recognized in all cases, except when they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or from an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business consolidation, on the date of the transaction, if it does not affect the book earnings or the taxable earnings.

Deferred tax is recorded for temporary differences on the date of the balance between the tax base of the assets and the liabilities and their book values. The tax base of an equity item is the amount attributed to it for tax purposes.

The tax effect of temporary differences is included for all taxable temporary differences under the corresponding headings of "Deferred tax assets" and "Deferred tax liabilities," excluding the exceptions provided in current regulations, if applicable.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax receivables and negative tax bases, to the extent that it is likely that the Company or the tax group has future tax profits that make it possible to apply these assets. The Company also recognizes a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences.

Unless evidenced otherwise, the Company does not foresee future tax profits if recovery is to take place more than ten years after the date of fiscal year closure.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets that have not been recognized due to expiry of the ten-year recovery period if the future reversal period does not exceed ten years from the date of fiscal year closure or when there are sufficient liabilities derived from temporary tax differences.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured according to anticipated tax rates for the fiscal years in which they will be recovered or liquidated, respectively.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet as noncurrent assets or liabilities, regardless of the expected date of payment or settlement.

Revenue and expenses $f$

Revenue and expenses are measured in accordance with the General Chart of Accounts.

Revenue from services provided are recognized when the transaction earnings are estimated reliably, taking into account the percentage of the service performed at the close of the fiscal year.

If the gains or losses on a service provision transaction cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is only recognized to the extent in which the expenses recognized are recoverable.

Given the Company's activity, the accrued dividends and other revenue from the funding granted to investee companies are part of the item "Revenue," and therefore, pursuant to the provisions of the Spanish Accounting and Auditing Institute (ICAC), they are recorded under that heading of the profit and loss account.

g) Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognized when there is a current obligation, whether legal or implicit, as a result of a past event, and a probable disbursal of resources that include future economic profits.

They are measured at the close of the fiscal year at the present value of the best possible estimate of the amount needed to cancel or transfer the obligation to a third party. The resulting adjustments are recorded when the provision is updated as a financial expense as it accrues.

The compensation to be received from a third party on settling the obligation, provided that there is no doubt that it will be received, does not entail a decrease in the debt, and the collection right is recognized in the asset whose amount will not exceed the amount of the obligation recorded in the accounts.

h) Personnel expenses

Remuneration for employees may be short-term, post-employment benefits, compensation for termination, other medium and long-term remuneration, and sharebased payments.

Short-term remuneration

These are posted according to the services provided by employees on an accrual basis.

Post-employment benefits

These essentially consist of defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans, as well as life insurance covering death between age 65 and 77.

Defined contribution plans

These are those in which the company in question makes pre-determined contributions to a separate company (whether linked to the Group or external) and has no legal or implicit obligation to make any additional contributions in the event of an insufficiency of assets to honor the payment of benefits. The obligation is limited to the contribution agreed on to deposit in a fund and the amount of benefits to be received by employees is determined by the contributions made plus the yield obtained by the investments in which the fund was materialized.

Defined benefit plans

These are post-employment benefit plans that differ from defined contribution plans.

The liability recognized on the balance sheet for defined benefit pension plans is equal to the present value of the defined benefits obligation on the balance sheet date less, where applicable, the fair value of the assets set aside for the plan.

The obligation for defined benefits is determined separately for each plan using the actuarial valuation method of the projected credit unit.

Actuarial gains and losses are recorded in equity accounts.

All the obligations for defined benefit plans that remain on the balance sheet correspond to retired personnel.

Compensation for termination

Compensation for termination is recognized as a liability and expense when there is a notable agreement to rescind the work relationship before the normal date of employee retirement or when there is an offer to encourage voluntary rescission of the contracts.

Other medium and long-term remuneration and share-based payments

Other long-term remuneration besides those described in the preceding paragraphs and referring specifically to the award for years of service or time with the company are recorded in line with the aforementioned principles; the only exceptions are the cost of past services, which is recognized immediately and recorded as an offsetting liability entry under the heading "Long-term provisions", and actuarial gains and losses, which are recorded in the profit and loss account.

In 2016, a new medium-term incentive plan was approved for certain members of the MAPFRE executive team. The plan is extraordinary, non-cumulative and multi-year, commencing January 1, 2016 and ending March 31, 2019, with payment of the part of the incentives deferred to the period 2020-2022. The payment of incentives is dependent on fulfilling certain corporate and specific objectives, as well as the director remaining in the Group's employ. The incentive will be paid partly in cash (50 percent) and partly by means of MAPFRE S.A. shares (50 percent), and is subject to clauses of reduction or recovery.

At the close of each year of the plan, fulfillment of the objectives is evaluated and the amount accrued is recorded in the profit and loss account, with a credit to a provisions account for the part of cash remuneration and a credit to equity, for the part corresponding to shares. The valuation of the part of the incentive paid in MAPFRE S.A. shares takes into account the fair value of the equity instruments assigned at the transfer date, based on the terms and conditions of the plan.

Each year, during the vesting period, the number of equity instruments included in the calculation of the transaction amount is adjusted. No additional adjustments are made after the vesting date.

An extraordinary, medium-term, non-cumulative and multi-year incentive plan for certain members of the Group's executive team was in place previously, from January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2016.

Moreover, in fiscal year 2007, the Group approved an incentive plan referenced to the value of MAPFRE S.A. shares that was settled in cash and revocable in the sense that it was subject to the management remaining in the employment of the Company or Group. This was measured at the initial moment of implementation using an options valuation method.

At the close of 2016, the share price was below the benchmark price for this plan, and accordingly no rights were exercised and the plan was canceled.

$\mathbf{i}$ Related-party transactions

Transactions with related parties linked to the usual activities of the Company are conducted under market conditions and are recorded according to the aforementioned valuation rules.

The accrued dividends and other revenue from the funding granted to investee companies are part of the item "Revenue," as established in note 4.f).

Group and associated companies

Annex 1 of the annual report contains details of the Group and affiliated companies held directly in the last two fiscal years.

The results of companies included in the aforementioned annex correspond in their totality to continuous operations.

In compliance with Article 155 of the consolidated text of the Corporate Enterprises Act, the corresponding notifications were made, when applicable, to the investee companies.

The main operations undertaken in the last two fiscal years with Group and associated companies are described in Note 18 of the annual report.

The non-controlling shareholders of the MAPFRE RE affiliate have a put option on the shares of the company. If exercised, MAPFRE or a MAPFRE Group company would have to acquire the shares from the selling minority shareholder. The purchase price for the shares will be calculated using the previously agreed formulas in each case.

Minority shareholders of the MAPFRE AMÉRICA subsidiary had a put option for the sale of their shares in the company that was exercised in 2016, which saw MAPFRE S.A. acquire 788,134 shares, bringing its total shareholding from 99.22 percent to 100 percent. The purchase price totaled 19,973,000 euros.

On December 5, 2016 and in order to restructure the Group's operating areas, MAPFRE AMÉRICA (absorbing company) absorbed MAPFRE INTERNACIONAL (absorbed company), with the merger being effective as from January 1, 2016.

The effect of this transaction, which was carried out between Group companies, was an increase in reserves of 262,146,000 euros.

In addition, it was agreed to change the name of MAPFRE AMERICA S.A. to MAPFRE INTERNACIONAL S.A.

Note 18 (Operations with Related Parties) details the amounts of capital increases of Group companies over the last two financial years.

Financial instruments risk

Credit and market risks are managed centrally through the MAPFRE Group Investment Area, which applies a prudent investment policy to mitigate exposure to these kinds of risks.

Liquidity is managed by the Company, which maintains sufficient balances of current assets and lines of credit to cover any event derived from its obligations and has the Group's support for financing operations when additional liquidity is required.

There were no significant amounts in the last two years regarding financial assets exposed to interest rate risk.

March 2017 issue

This issue included an initial redemption option on March 31, 2027, with the interest payable from this date up to 2047 being Euribor plus 4.54 percent, payable quarterly.

The issuer is obliged to defer interest payments in the case where there is any non-compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement or Minimum Capital Requirement, or prohibition of making interest payments on the part of the relevant Regulator, or incapacity on the part of the issuer to meet required matured and enforceable liabilities.

July 2007 issue

The issuer, at its discretion, may defer interest payments if such payments exceed distributable earnings, and if the issuer has not made any payment nor amortized or repurchased any class of capital or securities issued that are of the same range or lower than the subordinated debt in question.

For both issues, the redemption will occur in special cases as a result of reform or modification of tax regulations, due to lack of interchangeability of the issuer's own resources and as a result of the treatment awarded same by the Ratings Agencies.

On June 29, 2017, the Board of Directors approved early redemption, on the first available redemption date, of the totality of the subordinated debt issued in June 2007, with a face value of 575,850,000 euros (609,946,078 with interest included), with an effective redemption date of July 24, 2017.

At December 31, 2017, the Company's working capital was negative in the amount of 4,268,000 euros, even though the financing of its liabilities and liquidity requirements is guaranteed via the financial support it can rely on from the Group, as well as the dividends foreseeably receivable I n2018 and the credit lines available. At the close of 2016, said working capital was negative in the amount of 353,783,000 euros, as a result of transferring the subordinated debt issued in July 2017 to the short-term.

Increases and decreases in the past two years:

Increases due to permanent differences in the profit and loss account relate to expenses that are not tax deductible, including contributions made to support programs for exceptional public-interest events pursuant to Law 49/2002 and corrections in the value of equity instruments (participations in Group and associated companies) duly accounted for.

Decreases due to permanent differences in the profit and loss account relate to tax-exempt dividends.

The increases for temporary differences from the previous year basically correspond to expenses considered non-tax-deductible for commitments related to pensions and mediumterm remuneration of personnel and the value corrections of equity instruments (holdings in Group and associated companies), recorded in the accounts.

Decreases due to temporary differences originating in prior years in the profit and loss account primarily relate to the application of provisions for medium-term remuneration of personnel that were not deductible in the fiscal year they were recorded, to the recovery of the tenth portion of amortization of intangible assets that was not tax deductible in 2013 and 2014 and to the inclusion of negative temporary differences from previous years. These correspond to the recovery of the tax-deductible provision in previous years due to impairment of the investee portfolio.

Shown below for the years ending December 31, 2017 and 2016 are the main components of the expense for the tax on profits from ongoing operations and the reconciliation between the expense for the tax on profits and the product of multiplying the book earnings by the applicable tax rate.

The table below includes tax-deductible amounts in prior years in connection with corrections in value of holdings in Group, multi-group and associated companies and the difference in the year in the shareholders' equity of the same, as well as the amounts included in the tax base as a result of tax reversion and the amounts pending inclusion. In reference to the above, Royal Decree Law 3/2016, dated December 2, introduced a new minimum reversion regime for amounts pending inclusion. This provided for a minimum recovery of the fifth part of the pending amount from fiscal year 2016 onward, always provided that this amount was higher than the increase in shareholders' equity of the investee company for that fiscal year and to the amount of dividends received by it. The calculation of the minimum applicable reversion is also found in the following table.

In accordance with current legislation, the statements filed for the different taxes may not be considered final until they have been inspected by tax authorities or the expiration period of four years has elapsed.

Verification by tax authorities

With respect to tax inspections carried out on income tax filed by the Tax Group from 2007 to 2009, the Company formally contested an additional tax assessment in the amount of 5,497,000 euros in respect of discrepancies in the deduction applied by the Tax Group for research and development and technological innovation generated by several subsidiaries, which does not affect MAPFRE S.A. The settlement derived from the assessment was contested and is currently pending a ruling from the Central Administrative-Financial Court.

On December 4 2017, in its condition as controlling company of Tax Group 9/85, MAPFRE S.A. was notified of the commencement of corporate tax inspections for the years 2013 to 2016. In addition, and in its condition as controlling company of VAT Group 87/10, it was notified of the commencement of verification measures for all the periods from January 2014 to December 2016.

Likewise, on the same date MAPFRE S.A. was notified of the commencement of inspections of all payable taxes for years 2014 to 2016, as well as the corporate tax of fiscal year 2013.

Therefore, at December 31, 2017, the Company had open to inspection all taxes to which it is subject for 2014 to 2017, as well as corporate income tax for 2013. In the opinion of the Company's advisors, there is only a remote possibility of tax liabilities occurring and significantly affecting the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2017.

At the close of the last two fiscal years, and up to the date these annual accounts were prepared, there was no evidence of the existence of contingent assets and contingent liabilities for significant amounts.

15. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

The Company did not have any environmental-related item in the last two years that might be significant or specifically included in these annual accounts.

16. MEDIUM-TERM AND LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE REMUNERATION AND SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Long-term remuneration

The current defined benefit and defined contribution plans are measured as described in the recognition and measurement standards.

The expense for defined-contribution pension plans amounted to 7,152,000 euros in 2017 (7,268,000 euros in 2016).

Existing defined benefit plans, all of them being instruments taking the form of insurance policies underwritten by MAPFRE VIDA, are those in which the benefit is established based on final salaries, taking the form of a life annuity reviewable in line with the annual consumer price index (CPI). They apply entirely to retired personnel.

A) Amounts recognized in the Balance Sheet

The reconciliation of the present value of the obligation arising from defined benefit plans in the last two years is shown below:

B) Hypothesis

The main actuarial assumptions used at the close of the last two years were the mortality tables PERM/F-2000 and the annual CPI increase of three percent in both years, with the discount and expected return rates on assets identical as products with matching cash flows.

Other medium-term remuneration and share-based payments

The Board of Directors approved a medium-term incentive Plan in 2016 that was valued and recognized in the profit and loss account in line with indications set down in the measurement standards of 4h) "Personnel expenses".

The personnel costs arising from the plan were recorded in the profit and loss account in the amount of 387,000 euros (5,662,000 euros in 2016), appearing as 3,182,000 euros in liabilities (2,744,000 euros in 2016), corresponding to remuneration to be settled in cash and 2,687,000 euros (2,918,000 in 2016), in equity for the corresponding amount to be settled via equity amounts.

The number of reference shares required to effect the remuneration stood at 2,196,474 (3,788,939 in 2016).

As detailed in the measurement standards of rule 4h) "Personnel expenses", the Company had in place an incentive plan linked to the MAPFRE S.A. share that expired in 2016.

In order to cover the expenses related to this item at the date of exercise of the right, in fiscal 2008 two equity swaps were purchased on 8,625,733 shares and 219,297 shares, with a strike price of 3.2397 and 2.6657 euros, respectively. At the close of 2017, these liabilities have expired. At December 31, 2016, the net market value of said equity swap, 2.92 million euros, was allocated to "Other financial liabilities", with the variation for the year being included in the consolidated profit and loss account.

Other disclosures

MAPFRE S.A. has several Corporate Areas (Finance, Investment, Human Resources, Resources and Institutional Coordination, Business Support, Internal Audit, Strategy and M&A, General Counsel and Legal Affairs, and Business, Clients and Innovation), all with global responsibilities for all the Group's companies.

Environment

One of the ways in which MAPFRE builds trust with its stakeholders is by promoting a sustainable environment in which to pursue its activities.

In 2017, MAPFRE continued its initiatives to ensure compliance with the commitments assumed in the corporate environmental policy approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. and reviewed in 2015 to include new commitments such as the preservation of Biodiversity and the fight against Climate Change.

MAPFRE carries out Environmental Management actions under the guidelines defined by the triple Integrated Environmental, Energy and Carbon Footprint System (hereinafter SIGMAYE), in accordance with the international standards ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and ISO 14064.

The transversal design and the global nature of the SIGMAYE allows both corporate and specific local objectives to be established, thereby assuring compliance with applicable legislation and providing minimum criteria for compliance in countries in which legislation is less developed.

The execution of the actions defined in the Energy Efficiency and Climate Change Strategic Plan has continued with the objective of reducing the Group's emissions by 20 percent in 2020 and that objective was obtained three years earlier than projected, which has led the Company to committing to more ambitious challenges in both the medium and long-term with a 2050 time horizon, at which time it hopes to attain CO2 neutrality.

For the third year running, the Group's initiatives in this area earned recognition from the CDP (Driving Sustainable Economies) of MAPFRE as a global leader in taking action on Climate Change, and the Group was included on the CDP Global Climate A-list.

The eco-efficiency measures rolled out included the deployment of energy efficiency measures in buildings for air conditioning (use of freecooling, technological renewal of equipment and adjustment of hour and temperature set points); lighting (replacement of lamps with LED, installation of presence sensors and adjustment of times); and other usages (technological renewal of installations based on energy efficiency criteria).

Operational control of water management is carried out through the installation of optimization measures in buildings (aerators, timers, sensors, dual flush....) and control of internal usage by managing billing, own meters, detecting leaks and raising employee awareness.

Since joining the Biodiversity Pact launched by the Spanish Companies and Biodiversity Initiative, MAPFRE published a report on its results 2013-2015 together with the rest of the member companies and it has also continued its work regarding the protection of an endangered species and the preservation of its habitat, choosing the turtle and the Mediterranean Sea this year.

As part of the integration of the environment into the business in terms of biodiversity protection, the Group has also committed to the initiative led by the UN supported NGO OCEANA to protect the oceans and, specifically, to eliminate illegal fishing by not insuring those activities.

MAPFRE's goals for its workforce include the professional development of its employees and strengthening their employability and well-being by developing their abilities and skills. All of this is pursued within a setting of commitment and mutual respect; free of insults, intimidation, harassment or discrimination, at a workplace that guarantees security and stability of employment.

MAPFRE has a Code of Ethics and Conduct in place that is inspired by its institutional and business principles and which is intended to reflect corporate values and the basic principles that should guide the conduct of the company and its staff.

The Personal Respect Policy expressly states that respect for others is a basic element of employee conduct. MAPFRE rejects any manifestation of workplace harassment, as well as any other behavior that is violent or offensive to the rights and dignity of people, since these situations contaminate the workplace and have negative effects on the health, well-being, self-esteem, dignity and performance of those who suffer them.

The employment policy encourages permanent over temporary contracts, seeking a stable environment in a continuous working relationship. The percentage of staff on permanent contracts in 2017 was 96.7 percent (96.5 percent in 2016).

During the year, MAPFRE continued to roll out its Global Disability Program, and by year-end the company had 9 disabled persons within its workforce (8 disabled people in 2016).

Through its Promotion, Selection and Mobility Policy, MAPFRE is committed to promoting its employees' opportunities for professional development through development plans and programs, training schedules and mobility among areas and countries, in order to increase their employability, their professional satisfaction and their commitment to the company.

MAPFRE has defined a global selection procedure that guarantees objectivity, maximum rigor and non-discrimination throughout all procedures. Furthermore, the tests used during selection are standardized worldwide to cover each position with a candidate having the most appropriate profile. A total of 5,210 selection processes were completed in 2017 (5,782) processes in 2016).

In 2017 the Group invested 820,000 euros in staff training (873,000 euros in 2016).

Remuneration policy is based on each employee's job post, is competitive in comparison to the market, guarantees internal fairness, is flexible and can be adapted to different market collectives and circumstances, and is aligned with strategy.

The Policy on Health, Well-being and Prevention of Occupational Risks establishes that it is vital to protect workers' health, safety and well-being, for both employees and their families, and also for productivity, competitiveness and sustainability of MAPFRE. Every year, employees receive information and are given training on health and healthy habits.

Research, development and innovation

Client orientation is one of the main focal points of the MAPFRE Strategic Plan, which identifies innovation as one of the key tools for offering insurance solutions focused on client needs. Hence, innovation in client-focused products and services is a key driver for reaching short, mid and long term targets.

The MAPFRE Innovation Model, which is aimed to promote the innovation culture throughout the organization and to meet business challenges, was launched in 2014. The Corporate Innovation Committee, made up of members from key innovation areas, was set up to govern the Innovation Model, and the Corporate Innovation Department, which spearheads innovation in MAPFRE, was launched. The Innovation Model, which is used for both local and global strategy, is one of the key instruments for achieving differentiation and reaching the goals for the Group's organic growth.

No significant research and development activities were performed during the year.

Significant events for the Company that occurred after the year-end close

There were no significant events subsequent to the close of the year, apart from those detailed in the annual report (Note on Shareholders' Equity).

Economic Outlook

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects global growth at around 3.4 percent, which represents an acceleration compared with just over 3 percent at the end of 2016. This figure is slightly lower than the IMF's April projection and similar to the July forecast, which confirms that activity in the latter part of 2016 was more or less as predicted. Naturally, growth is firmly biased toward the emerging economies, where the IMF estimates a rate of 4.6 percent in 2017, four decimal points higher than in 2016, revealing confidence in the recovery of these countries. The projection for the advanced economies is 1.8 percent, two decimal points higher than last year but nevertheless indicative of a weaker performance that the emerging economies.

This outlook is based on an increase in world trade which the IMF estimates at 3.8 percent, a significant improvement on 2016. The recovery of the advanced economies remains very weak because the strong monetary stimulus received has not managed to eradicate the burden of excessive-mainly public-debt, a situation compounded by contractionary fiscal policies and the absence of credit. These effects are much more perceptible in the Eurozone, where the predicted growth in 2017 is a mere 1.5 percent. The United States is reaping the benefits of a more advanced position in the cycle and its GDP is therefore expected to grow by 2.2 percent. The four main European economies are likely to remain in positive territory, albeit with Italy still below 1 percent.

The projections for Spain indicate sustained growth at the head of Europe. Specifically, the IMF puts GDP growth in 2017 at 2.3 percent. This is a marked downturn compared with over 3 percent in 2016, precipitated by a slowdown of nearly every component. However, the IMF has praised Spanish economic policies as highly favorable for business and therefore for sustaining the country's recovery, in spite of this slowdown.

Among the emerging countries, the standout projections are for Asia, with China and India reporting 6.2 percent and 7.6 percent, respectively. By contrast, Latin America will see its growth limited to 1.6 percent, mainly because of the burden of Brazil, whose GDP rate for 2017 the IMF estimates at 0.5 percent. In spite of this extremely modest figure, Brazil has nevertheless shown considerable improvement, following a growth rate of 3.8 percent in 2015 and just under 3 percent in 2016. Consequently, this 0.5 percent implies that the country is firmly on the path to recovery. By contrast, Mexico is expected to see a 2.3 percent growth.

The two sides of the Atlantic will continue to pursue different monetary policies if there are no surprises. The Federal Reserve (Fed) of the United States has hinted that it intends to continue raising interest rates at a moderate but sustained pace, especially in view of the anticipated increase in inflation as a result of the economic measures announced and very low unemployment. By contrast, in Europe the central bank (ECB) will continue to buy assets as part of its quantitative easing (QE) policy throughout the year, enabling the European

money supply to continue growing. At some point near the end of 2017 questions are likely to be raised about whether these purchases should be reduced or not, which could in itself lead to slightly tighter financial conditions, but this would be minimal compared to the massive amount of liquidity which the ECB has injected in the last two years. Among the emerging central banks, the most significant process will probably be interest rate cuts throughout the year in Brazil.

The main risks for 2017 are political, since the year will see elections in several European countries. In light of certain events last year, economic and financial analysts are attaching much greater weight to possible surprises in electoral processes, and these therefore constitute a very significant risk. Likewise, the U.S. economic policy is currently an unknown quantity. The combination of these two circumstances could lead to considerably tighter financial conditions in a context where the recovery is still fragile. This could have repercussions for the emerging markets since the sustained appreciation of the dollar may cause a very deep impact at a time when they are still recovering from the problems of 2016 and 2015.

1. LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

[102‐14]

Dear Friends,

I am pleased to present the MAPFRE Integrated Report for the second consecutive year. We remain convinced that business and sustainability cannot be dealt with separately, so we are offering you a unique insight containing a comprehensive view of our business, our strategy and challenges, along with the most significant elements of our commitment and action as regards sustainable development.

Also included in this report is key non‐financial information that meets the requirements of current regulations.

2017 was the second year in the three‐year period of our profitable growth strategy, which is being implemented across the Group, and certain units have already shown sustained growth in premiums and a very significant improvement in profitability:

  • Especially noteworthy in Spain is the Automobile business, where premiums rose 3.8 percent versus the market increase of 3.4 percent, while earnings before taxes were up 42.8 percent. The Life business is also progressing exceptionally well, thanks to the bancassurance savings line.
  • In other markets, the profitable growth strategy is producing significantly better results (Peru, Colombia, Turkey and Italy), and particularly so in larger markets (Brazil, Mexico and the United States) where profitability improvements are worthy of mention.
  • The year past saw an exceptional convergence of natural disasters, of an intensity and frequency not seen in decades. Despite the extraordinary nature of the events, it must be borne in mind that these phenomena are inherent to the business of insurance: protecting clients against such risks.

MAPFRE's capacity and solvency to respond to the needs of its clients have been proven, and attention should certainly be drawn to the effectiveness of the reinsurance protection in place to deal with these types of events, which facilitated limiting the effect on results and shareholders' equity. We can therefore affirm that the sporadic impact of natural disasters does not alter our profitable growth strategy.

Although the readers have all the company's figures at their disposal, I would like to emphasize that revenues are increasing in all geographic areas and with all the main products. Our solid position in all markets has once again been confirmed this year:

  • Revenues rose to almost 28 billion euros, of which 23.5 billion correspond to premium revenue. Earnings before taxes surpassed 1.5 billion euros and net profit totaled 701 million euros.
  • The combined ratio stood at 98.1 percent, including the effect of natural disasters, made possible by excellent technical and underwriting management, as well as strict cost containment policies.

The Solvency II results for 2017 are in line with the 200 percent target, which contemplates a margin of 25 percentage points, and confirms the strong capital position, as well as its low volatility. The Solvency II ratio was 189 percent in September 2017, comprising a high‐quality capital structure, with 93 percent of funds classified as TIER 1. MAPFRE is comfortable with its capital structure, debt and solvency levels, which provide stability and financial flexibility for the future.

Programs are being implemented to raise efficiency, boost automation and reduce costs. The surpluses generated from these measures are being invested in digitalizing operations to achieve better results in the mid‐term.

There is no doubt that a solvent company with strong results such as these generates economic and social value in the countries where it is present. This has also been made possible thanks to the relationships we cultivate directly with our stakeholders ‐ clients, employees, shareholders, providers, distributors and commercial partners, among others ‐ who participate in reaching our objectives.

More than 29.5 million clients confide in MAPFRE because we offer a wide range of products and services that cover their needs. Our innovation model facilitates us in constantly seeking out tailor‐made insurance solutions, while always being conscious of the social and environmental challenges we face.

Moreover, the client now demands more communication channels with the company, with no loss in the quality of service and information they need. That is why we are a multichannel company. We are making headway in digital business without relinquishing the traditional channels at our disposal, especially the more than 84,000 distributors and 12,800 direct and delegate offices, which allows us to be a player on the global stage, in terms of geographic presence and our commercial offering.

The MAPFRE client trusts us, and this trust is repaid in the form of quality of service and the attention they receive, which is possible thanks to the management and coordination of the more than 139,000 providers who work with us. In addition to the technical and financial criteria set down for our providers, we also ask them to commit to our principles and values, especially as regards sustainability. Work is continuing to certify providers so they can comply with the standards of good governance, employment, protection of human rights and the environment that characterize our company.

We are signatories to the United Nations Global Compact; we work actively on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and form part of the United Nations Environment Program Finance Initiative (UNEP FI). We adhere to the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) and the Paris Pledge for Action, and in 2017 we also signed up to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) of the United Nations.

In 2017, we maintained our membership of the FTSE4Good Index and were included for the second straight year on the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) Climate A‐list initiative for our management and initiatives in tackling climate change.

3

None of the above would be possible without our 36,271 employees. We have a diverse workforce with employees from 81 different nationalities. Women accounted for 56 percent of new hires in 2017, and we employ people from right across the generational spectrum – veterans, baby boomers and generations X, Y and Z. MAPFRE is also an inclusive company, with 2 percent of our workforce being made up of people with disabilities.

I can confirm that our workforce is highly motivated and our people are capable of leveraging their experience and talent in the search for new sustainable business opportunities, designing products and services and enhancing internal processes. That is why we are committed to professional development, as reflected in our investment of more than 20.8 million euros in training. Offering quality employment is of paramount importance to MAPFRE – 96.7 percent of our people are on permanent contracts, and more than 180 million euros was spent on social benefits in 2017, enjoyed by one and all, regardless of contract type. I am particularly proud to mention that 6,745 employees are members of our Corporate Volunteering program, carried out jointly with Fundación MAPFRE, which carried out 1,263 activities in 2017 that directly benefitted 93,672 people.

Allow me to leave my final remarks for our shareholders, and to simply say that everything we do as regards the business, the good results and our commitment to sustainability, delivers a positive return for them. I am pleased to report that the final dividend for the 2017 financial year is 0.085 euros gross per share, bringing the total dividend charged against 2017 earnings to 0.145 euros gross per share, representing a payout of 63.7 percent.

I am convinced that the MAPFRE business model and the strategy focused on profitable growth, coupled with a high solvency level and low debt, guarantee healthy growth over the coming years.

I would like to end by expressing, both personally and in the name of the Board, our sincere gratitude and thanks to our clients, employees, shareholders, distributors and providers. MAPFRE is firmly committed to continuing to work to create value and contribute to economic and social development wherever we are present.

2. MAPFRE GROUP

[102‐1, 102‐2, 102‐3, 102‐4, 102‐5, 102‐18]

MAPFRE is a global company principally engaged in insurance and reinsurance activities in 45 countries around the world.

The company's origins can be traced to MAPFRE MUTUALIDAD, created in 1933 by the Association of Owners of Rural Properties in Spain to mutually cover the risks arising from their farming activities. In the 1960s, it embarked on a process of business expansion consisting of the creation of subsidiary trading companies. In 1980 these were grouped into the holding company CORPORACIÓN MAPFRE (now MAPFRE S.A.) and international expansion ensued, mainly in Latin America. Today, MAPFRE is the largest Spanish insurance company in the world and the third largest insurance group in Latin America, and is consolidating a growing presence in other markets such as North America, Europe and Asia.

The Group's parent company is MAPFRE S.A., whose shares are listed on the Madrid and Barcelona Stock Exchanges. MAPFRE S.A. is also a component of the IBEX 35, STOXX Europe 600 Insurance, MSCI Spain, FTSE All‐World Developed Europe, FTSE4Good and FTSE4Good IBEX indices.

The majority shareholder of MAPFRE S.A. is Fundación MAPFRE, which owns 68.3 percent of the share capital, thus guaranteeing the Group's independence and institutional stability. Fundación MAPFRE engages in general interest activities in the fields of Social Action, Insurance and Social Protection, Culture, Accident Prevention and Road Safety, and Health Promotion.

The Group's business comprises four Business Units (Insurance; Assistance, Services and Specialty Risks; Global Risks; and Reinsurance), three Territorial Areas (IBERIA, LATAM and INTERNATIONAL), and six Regional Areas: Iberia (Spain and Portugal), LATAM North, LATAM South, Brazil, North America and EURASIA (Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia‐Pacific).

3. BUSINESS MODEL AND STRATEGY

[102‐2, 102‐6]

3.1. Business model

The vision of MAPFRE is to be THE MOST TRUSTED GLOBAL INSURANCE COMPANY, a concept that refers not only to its geographic presence, but also to the wide range of insurance, reinsurance and service products which it promotes around the globe. The Group aspires to lead the markets in which it operates through a proprietary, differentiated management model based on profitable growth, a clear and purposeful orientation to both individual and corporate clients, a multichannel focus, and a profound vocation for service.

Accordingly, MAPFRE:

  • Is firmly committed to growth, both in terms of business volume and geographic development, generating adequate and sufficient profitability from its activities. MAPFRE will continue to expand its presence across more countries and regional areas in order to consolidate its status as a global company, while reinforcing its presence in the countries and regions which have traditionally constituted its preferred markets.
  • Manages its business in an efficient manner and constantly improves productivity, reducing structural costs on a continuous basis in order to enhance its competitiveness.

  • Professionally manages the risks it assumes, ensuring sustainable growth and results.

  • Steers its development by diversifying its portfolio of insurance, reinsurance and services businesses as a means of boosting growth and minimizing risks.
  • Deploys a global management model with ample capacity for local implementation, ensuring an appropriate balance between corporate involvement and business development in each country. As such, MAPFRE utilizes a corporate structure that allows it to harness economies of scale and pursue its business plans in a uniform manner but with the flexibility to adapt to the markets in which it operates.
  • Makes its resources available to the entire organization, thus harnessing the synergies derived from sharing talent, processes and tools.
  • Promotes specialized management as a means of continuously optimizing results and enhancing service quality.

[102‐16]

MAPFRE's stated mission is to be a multinational team that strives to constantly improve services and develop the best possible relationships with clients, distributors, providers, shareholders and society in general.

This commitment to continuous improvement is underpinned by the following values, which assist in developing the mission and in order to achieve the company's vision:

  • ‐ Solvency: financial strength with sustainable results and full capacity to meet all obligations to stakeholders.
  • ‐ Integrity: ethical conduct as a core element in how everyone (senior executives, employees, agents and collaborators) behaves, with a socially responsible focus on all long‐term activities and commitments.
  • ‐ Vocation for service: the constant quest for excellence in the pursuit of its activities and a continuous focus on building strong relationships with clients.
  • ‐ Innovation for leadership: differentiation as a key aspect of continuous growth and improvement, using technology to service the different businesses and their objectives.
  • ‐ Committed team: full engagement of employees, senior executives, agents and other collaborators with the MAPFRE project and continuous development of the team's skills and abilities.

The resources that MAPFRE deploys to create sustained value are its main assets and correspond to the following capital types:

    1. Financial Capital: economic resources to develop the business, generated either through operations and/or investments or obtained through financing.
    1. Productive Capital: assets or goods and services used to pursue different activities.
    1. Human Capital: the skills, knowledge, abilities and experience of the people employed by the organization.
    1. Intellectual Capital: knowledge‐based intangible assets that favor both intellectual property as well as knowledge of systems, procedures and protocols.
    1. Social and Relational Capital: trust‐based relationships generated with stakeholders; contribution to the development and well‐being of the community, and other intangible assets related to reputation and the brand.
    1. Natural Capital: appropriate management of natural resources and contribution to climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation.

MAPFRE offers people a complete insurance program, which is adapted to the different countries in which it operates, through a wide insurance offering of Life, Health, Accident, General P&C (homeowners, automobile, third‐party liability, family, etc.), Savings and Investment, Retirement, Burial, Travel and Lifestyle policies.

MAPFRE helps professionals, entrepreneurs, self‐employed people and small companies to develop their commercial undertakings, offering a broad portfolio of products and services that enable them to concentrate on their professional activity (with solutions for vehicles, third‐party liability and assets, agriculture and livestock, commercial establishments, etc.), and also insuring their personal risks (accidents, health, Life, retirement, savings and investments).

The company also offers specific solutions for small and medium‐sized enterprises as well as large corporations, with a range of products and services adapted to the activity of each organization, at local, national and global level, and tailored to the management model of each client, with products for Vehicles, Third‐Party Liability and General P&C, Engineering and Construction, Hulls and Aviation, Goods Transportation, Agribusiness, Surety and Credit, Group Health, Accident, Life and Retirement Insurance, among others.

Additionally, MAPFRE supplements its insurance activities with a range of reinsurance products.

The Group carries out its business activities through an organizational structure consisting of four business units (Insurance; Assistance, Services and Specialty Risks; Global Risks, and Reinsurance).

The territorial areas are the geographic units that manage and coordinate the MAPFRE Insurance Unit in their respective territory.

All the business units except for Reinsurance are organized as per the MAPFRE regional areas, which are the geographic units that plan, support and oversee all the business units in the region.

The IBERIA Territorial Area coincides with the Iberia Regional Area, which is made up of Spain and Portugal. The LATAM Territorial Area is subdivided into the regional areas of Brazil, LATAM North (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and the Dominican Republic) and LATAM South (Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela). The INTERNATIONAL Territorial Area comprises the regional areas of North America (Canada, Puerto Rico and the United States), EURASIA (which includes operations in Europe—except Spain and Portugal—the Middle East, Africa, Australia and Asia).

MAPFRE is firmly committed to using its own networks in the countries in which it operates, which is compatible with the use of other distribution channels. Some of the key features behind the success of MAPFRE's business model are its client orientation, global product offering, and adaptation to the legal and commercial nature of each market.

MAPFRE's own networks are supplemented by the distribution capacity deriving from the signing of agreements with different institutions, notably its bancassurance agreements, but also including those with other financial institutions, car dealers, shopping malls and service companies, etc.

MAPFRE's stated mission is to develop the best possible relationships with stakeholders, which include employees, clients, distributors, providers, shareholders and society in general. For more information, please consult the chapter on Social and Relational Capital.

3.2. Strategy

MAPFRE places great emphasis on strategic planning as a tool for achieving the medium and long‐term objectives set down by management. Since 2015 the activities designed to enact the Group's vision, mission and values have been reinforced and the strategy map was implemented.

In recent years MAPFRE has consolidated its strategy at every level of the organization to work as one large team, moving in the same direction. Accordingly, a common, aligned strategy is followed in every market in which the Group operates. Since 2016, and in compliance with the strategic plan approved by the Group's Governing Bodies for 2016‐2018, advances have been made with initiatives and projects to support its strategic objectives, prioritizing and concentrating its efforts to advance as a single organization and uphold the commitments made to shareholders.

We are currently at the mid‐point of the Strategic Plan, in which the focus has been on Profitable Growth, supporting management via four strategic pillars and a series of initiatives that were reinforced in 2017 to continue advancing toward building a more digital company:

1. Client orientation

The Group attaches great importance to identifying and understanding client needs, behavior and aspirations as a means of retaining existing clients and capturing new ones from the market. To achieve this goal, a Client Relationship Model was implemented that helps adapt the sales offering, operations, structure and technology to the requirements and needs of each client. All of this is tailored to the specific characteristics of each market.

The maturity attained by the Client Experience Model initiative has facilitated moving it to the production level, and to work on managing the results obtained through surveys of clients and non‐clients to differentiate ourselves and deliver beyond their expectations.

In 2017, progress was also made in positioning MAPFRE in Large Cities, which will allow the company to increase market share there.

2. Digital transformation

It is essential that MAPFRE keeps up its efforts to adapt to the new digital age, working on the digitalization of processes to achieve operational excellence, and the digitalization of the client touchpoints. All of this has the objective of strengthening their experience with the company, ensuring service and quality levels.

Another important focus of this pillar is the Digital Business Plan, which was defined to develop existing and new operations, thus increasing the weight of this distribution model at MAPFRE.

In response to trends in the automobile sector, special importance is being placed on the initiative that has been underway for a number of years to develop capacities in the automobile area and the Group's role with respect to new mobility concepts.

It is also intended to take advantage of the opportunity provided by digitalization to develop a business model that facilitates attaining leadership in the Health strategic line.

3. Excellence in technical and operational management

The insurance business involves a constant quest for operational excellence and adaptation to regulatory changes in the industry, so that technical profitability higher than the market can be achieved in the most important lines, which will also maintain and improve MAPFRE's competitive position.

The Strategic Provider Initiative underway has reached an implementation level that has allowed it to be put into production mode. Work to develop initiatives related to efficiency continues, focusing on the Contact Center, Claims Costs, the development of Operating Models and the promotion of self‐service.

During 2017 a Strategic Initiative for Predictive Models was started, with the aim of transforming the manner in business is handled, taking advantage of data knowledge and intelligence.

4. Culture and talent

The successful implementation of the Strategic Plan depends on unequivocal support from employees and the MAPFRE culture. Big steps have been taken in the initiative with respect to Talent Management, which has allowed it to be included in habitual production processes and for fresh challenges to be taken on within a new initiative: the Digital Challenge, which will enable the organizational change that MAPFRE needs to adapt to new digital imperatives to be successfully managed.

It is important to highlight the advances the Group has made in terms of equal opportunities, diversity and labor inclusion, which it will continue to pursue in the coming years.

3.3. Future outlook

The main financial strategic commitments and the four pillars of the strategic plan for the three‐year period 2016‐2018 are described below.

Financial

The primary objective is to create sustainable value for shareholders through profitable growth and the efficient management of our balance sheet. Given these premises, the principal goals for the three years are as follows:

  • To achieve total revenue of 31 billion euros by the close of 2018.
  • To obtain an average ROE of no less than 11 percent for the three‐year period.
  • To produce an average dividend yield of approximately 5 percent for the period, in relation to the average annual share price, and to sustain a dividend payout policy of no less than 50 percent and no more than 65 percent of Group profits.

The objectives related to the four strategic pillars are as follows:

Client orientation

  • To improve the quality perceived by clients, as measured via the NPS (Net Promoter Score) indicator in those countries which together represent at least 80 percent of the Non‐Life premiums for individuals, and to achieve a client rating that is higher than the average of our main competitors in at least 70 percent of our businesses.
  • To increase market share in at least 75 percent of Non‐Life businesses and to boost sales of life insurance and pension fund products.

Digital transformation

  • To increase by 30 percent the number of digital transactions that clients carry out with the company in the main markets (Spain, Brazil, United States and Mexico) by ensuring that the majority of operations can be conducted online.
  • To increase digital business by 50 percent via the MAPFRE, VERTI and INSUREANDGO brands.

Excellence in technical and operational management

To maintain the average combined ratio for the three‐year period below 96 percent.

  • To cut costs and therefore obtain an average expense ratio for the period of less than 28 percent of premiums. We will capitalize on the development of all the global strategic initiatives relating to operational, digital and provider transformation to obtain cost savings of no less than 150 million euros during the course of the three‐year period.
  • To improve the mechanization of our service provider management processes by automating at least 60 percent of assignments.

Culture and talent

  • To launch a series of projects that will make us one of the best companies in the world to work for, using the Great Place to Work methodology to achieve an employee satisfaction score of more than 80 percent by the end of the three‐year period.
  • To achieve genuine gender equality and labor inclusion worldwide, ensuring that by 2018 women occupy at least 40 percent of all management responsibility positions. Additionally, during the course of the next three years we will ensure that people with some form of disability make up at least 2 percent of our workforce.
  • To develop occupational and geographic mobility programs for at least 10 percent of the workforce each year.

other incomes
1,701.3 1,222.6 39.1%
Total consolidated revenue 27,983.7 27,092.1 3.3%

Figures in millions of euros

The Group's consolidated revenue reached 27.9 billion euros, with growth of 3.3 percent, which strengthened the upward trend of the last few years.

Premiums from direct insurance and accepted reinsurance, which represent a fundamental part of revenue, reached 23.5 billion euros, with notable growth of 2.9 percent, primarily backed by the increase in premiums in Spain, Mexico, Central America, and the Global Risks Business Unit.

This increase in premium growth is framed in the Group's strategic line of "profitable growth", which aims to improve profitability mainly in Non‐Life insurance. As a result, in 2017, the cancellation of unprofitable policies has continued, for an amount of approximately 530 million euros, mainly in Autos and General P&C, which partially conditions decrease.

Non‐Life premiums grew by 2.6 percent, while Life premiums reached relevant growth of 4.2 percent.

By Non‐Life business type, Automobile is the most important line, with 7.3 billion euros in premiums and a decrease of 1.4 percent due primarily to the portfolio reduction in Brazil, Mexico and Turkey. General P&C holds second place, with 6.3 billion euros and growth of 10.3 percent, driven by the PEMEX policy in Mexico for 545 million dollars; and Health and Accidents is in third place with 1.2 billion euros in premiums and 1.2 percent growth.

Gross revenue from investments reached 2.8 billion euros, below the previous period, due to the recurrent low‐interest rate environment in Europe and the fall in interest rates in Brazil and other LATAM countries, as well as lower financial gains.

20

Finally, other revenue, which, for the most part, includes non‐insurance activity and non‐technical revenue, reflects an increase primarily from higher revenue from positive currency conversion differences, as well as from the cancellation of a reserve for contingent payments in the bancassurance channel in Spain totaling 29 million euros, as the necessary level of certain long‐term objectives were not reached.

Funds under Management

The following charts show the performance of managed savings, including both technical provisions of Life insurance companies, and the Life provisions of multiline insurance companies, which are presented in the Group's consolidated balance sheet.

In addition to the Life insurance operations, MAPFRE manages its clients' savings through pension and mutual funds.

In the information regarding managed savings in 2017 and 2016, UNIÓN DUERO VIDA and DUERO PENSIONES are not included, as at that time they were already classified as assets‐held‐for‐sale.

Changes in managed savings with respect to December of the previous year reflect:

    1. The reduction in Life technical provisions, from the fall in the portfolio as a result of redemptions, mainly in the bancassurance channel in Spain.
    1. The reduction in the value of managed savings in Brazil and other countries outside of the Eurozone from the depreciation of their currencies.
    1. The growth in pension and mutual funds, fruit of MAPFRE's strategy to push Asset Management as an alternative to traditional Life Savings products, which are less attractive to clients in the current low‐interest rate environment.

Assets under management

The following chart reflects the performance of assets under management, which includes the total Group investment portfolio as well as pension and mutual funds, and which shows growth of 2.1 percent:

Management ratios

The combined ratio measures the impact on premiums of management costs and the loss ratio for the period. In 2017 this ratio was 98.1 percent, representing an increase of 0.7 percentage points compared to the previous year.

Return on shareholders' equity (ROE)

Return on equity (ROE), which represents the relationship between net profit attributable to the parent company (deducting the share of external partners) and average shareholders' equity, was 7.9 percent (8.8 percent in 2016).

Relevant facts

[102‐10]

The following are among the relevant facts for 2017:

  • On September 25 last, MAPFRE informed, via a relevant fact, of the impact of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and María on the Atlantic coast of North America and the Caribbean, of exceptional scale and frequency, and also of the earthquakes that struck Mexico, estimating a net cost after taxes and minorities of between 150 and 200 million euros on the result attributable for the period, as per preliminary estimates carried out by the company.
  • MAPFRE launched MAPFRE Gestión Patrimonial (MGP), a new business offering financial investment solutions that aim to deliver returns on clients' savings, and which commenced operations with the opening of a Madrid office.

  • MAPFRE successfully placed 30‐year subordinated debt securities, with an option to redeem in 10 years, totaling 600 million euros, and bearing a fixed interest rate of 4.375 percent over the first 10 years.

  • MAPFRE took control of Indonesian insurance company "PT BINA DANA ARTA" (ABDA), after obtaining authorization from the regulatory bodies for the purchase of an additional 31 percent stake in the company, taking it to a controlling 51 percent stake.
  • MAPFRE completed the launch of VERTI Versicherung AG en Alemania, which had operated under the Direct Line brand up until then.
  • MAPFRE MÉXICO is awarded, for the second consecutive time and via public tender, the integrated insurance policy for Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), which carried with it a premium in excess of 545 million dollars (approximately 479 million euros).
  • MAPFRE makes further inroads with the international expansion of its Verti brand, launching operations in the USA.
  • MAPFRE purchased 25 percent of French asset manager La Financière Responsable (LFR), a transaction that encompasses the company's commitment to a responsible investment policy.

4.2. Information by Regional Area

Figures in millions of euros

The most significant aspects are:

    1. Premiums and results show very solid growth in IBERIA, with excellent performance in the Auto line and the contribution of Spain's result to the Group.
    1. Premiums in BRAZIL show positive results compared to last year, from the appreciation of the average exchange rate of the Brazilian real, although there is no growth in the original currency. The lower result is a consequence of a lower financial result due to the drop in interest rates in Brazil in 2017 and of the increase in acquisition costs and high loss experience in Auto.
    1. LATAM NORTH shows premium growth of 37.6 percent to December from the issuing of the PEMEX policy for a two‐year coverage period. The region's earnings reflect the discrete result in Mexico due to the high loss ratio in Automobiles and the impact of catastrophic events on the GLOBAL RISKS business.
    1. LATAM SOUTH experienced an increase in results, thanks to the favorable evolution of the insurance business in Colombia and Peru. However, this improvement was offset by the negative impact of a severe claim in the GLOBAL RISKS business in Peru, due to the heavy rains caused by weather related to "Coastal El Niño".
    1. NORTH AMERICA has growth containment in premiums and lower due to the high loss experience in the Auto line in the United States, and to the impact of the catastrophic events on the insurance and GLOBAL RISKS businesses, which had strong economic repercussions on Puerto Rico's results.
  • EURASIA experienced a drop in premiums, primarily due to Turkey, as a result of growth containment in compulsory Third Party Liability for Auto insurance. It is important to point out the extraordinary improvement in results in Turkey, as well as favorable development of business in Italy. However, EURASIA presented losses of 62.2 million euros, due to the negative results of ASISTENCIA in the United Kingdom and certain large claims in GLOBAL RISKS. ABDA business is included as of June 2017.

Figures in millions of euros

The most important changes are:

  1. Premiums show significant growth in all business units, with the exception of ASISTENCIA, mainly as a result of the current business restructuring, and INTERNATIONAL due to the previously mentioned growth containment in premiums in North America and the lower issuing in Turkey.

    1. Results have evolved positively in insurance entities in IBERIA, LATAM and INTERNATIONAL, with 12.6 percent growth in the insurance business units at the close of December 2017.
    1. MAPFRE RE continues to contribute positively to the Group, both in premiums and in results, reaching earnings of 162.7 million euros to December 2017, despite the catastrophic events that took place during the year, which have had an attributable net cost of 58.2 million euros for this company.
    1. MAPFRE ASISTENCIA is highly affected by losses in the United Kingdom and by business restructuring.
    1. GLOBAL RISKS is negatively affected by the catastrophic events that occurred during the year, that have had an attributable net cost of 77.4 million euros for this company, and by large claims that have been impacting it this whole year.

5. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

5.1. Governance system

[102‐14, 102‐16,102‐18, 102‐19, 102‐20, 102‐22, 102‐23, 102‐26, 102‐35, 102‐36, 102‐ 37, FS1]

MAPFRE adopts a three‐pronged approach to its business management:

  • Corporate governance
  • Company structure
  • Executive organization

Corporate governance

The Annual General Meeting is the most senior governing body, while the Board of Directors is responsible for steering, administering and representing the company, holding full powers of representation, disposition and management. Its actions are binding on the company, with no further limitation than the express powers of the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the law and the corporate bylaws.

The Board is the company's main decision‐making and supervisory body as well as the supervisory body of all subsidiary companies, while the day‐to‐day management is carried out by the company's management and executive bodies and by the relevant management bodies of the aforementioned subsidiary companies.

The Board of Directors has a Steering Committee in place that acts on its behalf and within all of its powers, except those that cannot be ceded by law or, if expressly prohibited by the bylaws or the regulations of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors also has another three delegate committees:

  • Audit and Compliance Committee
  • Appointments and Remuneration Committee
  • Risk Committee

The functions and composition of the governing bodies are as follows:

Steering Committee

The Steering Committee's functions are the senior management and oversight of the day‐to‐day operations and strategies of the company and its subsidiaries. It comprises a maximum of 10 members, all of whom are also members of the Board of Directors.

Audit and Compliance Committee

The Audit Committee's functions include reporting to the Annual General Meeting on any issues that arise in relation to matters within its remit, overseeing the efficiency of internal control and the process for preparing and presenting financial information, submitting same to the Board of Directors, proposals for the appointment of the external auditor and building an appropriate relationship with this figure, and ensuring the independence and efficiency of the internal audit function. It is also the body responsible for the supervision of the proper application of good governance standards and external and internal regulations at the company and the Group. It comprises a minimum of three and a maximum of five members of the Board of Directors, all non‐executive directors and most of them independent directors.

Appointments and Remuneration Committee

The Appointments and Remuneration Committee coordinates the implementation of the assignment and remuneration policy for directors and senior executives of the Group. It comprises a minimum of three and a maximum of five members of the Board of Directors, all non‐executive directors and at least two of whom are independent directors.

Risk Committee

This committee provides support and advisory services to the Board of Directors in the definition and evaluation of the Group's risk management policies and in the determination of its risk appetite and risk strategy. It comprises a minimum of three and a maximum of five members of the Board of Directors, all non‐executive directors and at least two of whom are independent directors.

The composition of the governing bodies resulting from the resolutions that are expected to be adopted on March 9, 2018 is as follows:

Diversity and experience

[405‐1]

The Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. approved the Director Selection Policy on July 23, 2015. This policy establishes that during the director selection process, any kind of implicit risk that may involve discrimination and, in particular, biases that interfere with the selection of persons of other genders must be avoided. Furthermore, the policy stipulates that by 2020 the number of female directors shall represent at least 30 percent of the total of members of the Board of Directors.

Female directors currently represent 27 percent of all members of the Board of Directors. Most of them participate in Board committees and/or have a significant role:

Catalina Miñarro Brugarolas: second vice chairwoman of the Board of Directors and the Steering Committee, chairwoman of the Appointments and Remuneration

Committee, member of the Audit and Compliance Committee and independent coordinating director.

  • Ana Isabel Fernández Álvarez: member of the Audit and Compliance Committee and the Risk Committee.
  • Pilar Perales Viscasillas: independent director.

Geographic and cultural diversity is also visible at board level, with three nationalities represented: Spanish, Brazilian and German.

The selection of candidates in accordance with the provisions of the MAPFRE S.A. Board of Directors Regulations will include an evaluation of the competencies, knowledge and the experience necessary to hold a seat on the Board of Directors. The Board currently consists of 15 members, who as a whole, possess knowledge, qualifications and experience relating to the following areas: insurance and financial markets, business strategy and business models, governance systems, financial and actuarial analysis and regulatory framework.

Other Corporate Governance indicators:

Remuneration for directors is determined in accordance with the provisions of regulations applicable to corporations, the corporate bylaws of the Board of Directors, and the decisions adopted by the Annual General Meeting.

In order to comply with the legal requirements for remuneration of directors and to continue adapting to corporate governance best practices regarding remuneration, the Regulations of the Board of Directors govern the functions related to remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Appointments and Remuneration Committee.

The compensation policy for directors for the period 2016‐2018 includes the different components of the remuneration package for directors, which were established in line with the following criteria:

  • Prioritization of the creation of value and profitability in the medium‐ and long‐ term over short‐term results.
  • Proportionality between the company's financial situation and market standards of comparable companies.
  • Alignment with the sales and risk management strategies, risk profile, objectives, and risk management practices.
  • Appropriate and efficient risk management within the established risk tolerance limits.
  • Attraction and retention of talent.
  • Appropriate compensation for commitment, qualification and responsibility.
  • Appropriate proportion of fixed and variable components, avoiding excessive reliance on variable components.
  • Deferral of payment of a significant portion of variable remuneration.
  • Possibility of ex‐post adjustments to variable remuneration.
  • Avoidance of conflicts of interest.

The remuneration system differentiates between external directors and executive directors:

A) External directors

External directors receive a fixed amount as basic remuneration for their membership of the Board of Directors and, as applicable, of the Steering Committee and delegate bodies, which may be higher for those who occupy positions on the Board or chair its committees. This remuneration is supplemented with other non‐monetary compensation, as established for company staff in general.

42

B) Executive directors

Executive directors do not receive the fixed amount established for external directors. The fixed remuneration for performing their executive functions is determined in line with the policy established for the remuneration of MAPFRE senior executives, and in accordance with the stipulations of their respective contracts.

Executive directors are entitled to the allowances or social benefits established for company staff in general, as stipulated in the collective bargaining agreement signed by MAPFRE.

Only executive directors receive variable remuneration, of which there are three types:

(i) Short‐term variable remuneration, which is linked to the company's consolidated net profit and, where applicable, other indicators related to their respective responsibilities. This remuneration is always paid in cash.

(ii) Medium‐term variable remuneration, which takes the form of an extraordinary medium‐term incentive plan for executive directors in their capacity as senior executives. The plan is non‐cumulative and multi‐year (the present plan runs from January 1, 2016 to March 31, 2019).

(iii) Incentives indexed to share values.

In relation to the establishment of an appropriate balance between fixed and variable components of remuneration, the MAPFRE compensation policy for the rest of the workforce includes a variable structure that is calculated as a percentage of total remuneration and is paid according to the degree to which employees have achieved their objectives. The weight of the variable remuneration is determined by the position held within the organization, increasing in line with the level of responsibility and the impact of employees' professional activities within the company.

Employee categories that may have a material impact on the company's risk profile are governed by a variable short‐term remuneration system based on the achievement of objectives directly linked to strategic plans and carried out during the course of one year.

The Group's Institutional, Business and Organizational Principles determine its actions as a company and contribute to the sustainability of the business conducted in every country in which it operates. These principles are embedded in the company through its core values (solvency, integrity, vocation for service, innovation for leadership, and committed team) and implemented through adherence to its international and local commitments as well as to the policies, standards and action protocols adopted by the organization. All of this enables the company to act in accordance with the due

diligence principle, thereby preventing, detecting and eradicating irregular conduct, whatever its nature, which could have a negative impact on the company and on the environment in which it operates.

The company has a set of policies, regulations, procedures, protocols and other reference documents, both corporate and local in nature, which serve as a guide to determine the behavior that is expected of all those who work for or collaborate with MAPFRE.

Moreover, MAPFRE publishes the following corporate policies and standards on its website (www.mapfre.com), therefore placing them at the disposal of all stakeholders:

  • Institutional, Business and Organizational Principles
  • Code of Ethics and Conduct
  • Treasury Stock Policy
  • Dividend Policy
  • Corporate Governance Policy
  • Corporate Tax Policy
  • Policy on the Management of Conflicts of Interest and Operations Linked to Significant Shareholders and Senior Representative and Managerial Posts
  • Directors Selection Policy
  • Policy for Communication with Shareholders, Institutional Investors and Proxy Advisors
  • Policy on Attendance Allowances
  • Corporate Social Responsibility Policy
  • Diversity and Equal Opportunities Policy
  • Promotion, Selection and Mobility Policy
  • Policy on Health, Well-being and Prevention of Occupational Risks
  • Respect for People Policy
  • Corporate Security Policy
  • Business Continuity Policy
  • Environmental Policy

Company structure

MAPFRE employs a simple, efficient and decentralized company structure that enables it to meet its business objectives in an appropriate manner. This principle means that the appropriate management of the business in each country is compatible with the efficient management of the resources, capital requirements and distribution of dividends to shareholders. All of this is governed by a legal framework and genuinely

ethical and socially committed conduct in the countries in which the company operates.

Executive organization

MAPFRE employs a management model for its executive organization that is underpinned by strict control and oversight at every level: local, regional and global. This facilitates broad delegation in the execution and fulfillment of the responsibilities assigned to teams and their supervisors. Most notably, it means that the most important decisions, at all levels, are analyzed in depth, before and after they are implemented, by all of the senior executive teams.

5.2. Ethics and Social Responsibility

[102‐18, 102‐33, 102‐34, 205‐1, 205‐2, 205‐3, 405‐1, FS1, FS3, FS4, FS13, FS15]

MAPFRE defines its corporate social responsibility (CSR) as "a voluntary and strategic commitment that entails attempting to achieve business objectives while strictly complying with its legal and contractual obligations, applying criteria of equity and stability to relationships with its stakeholders and thus contributing to meeting the current and future needs of society".

Being responsible is an attitude, a manner of managing the company, and it is therefore important to involve all groups with which the company maintains relationships (employees, clients, providers, distributors, shareholders, and society in general) to contribute to the economic and social development of the countries in which MAPFRE operates. For this reason, MAPFRE has its own CSR model, a corporate policy that sets out the principles of action in this sphere, and the Group Sustainability Plan 2016‐2018, which explains the strategy to follow.

Sustainability Model

This model is aligned with MAPFRE's vision, mission and values, with the Institutional and Business Principles, and with the strategy. Its design is founded on what are accepted as the core aspects of sustainability ‐ environmental, social, and governance elements. Accordingly, the MAPFRE model is organized around three basic pillars: Good Governance, Social and Environmental Responsibility, and Contribution to Society.

Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

The Policy establishes the reference framework that allows all MAPFRE Group companies to develop and promote socially responsible behavior, irrespective of whether it is related to conventional or digital business.

The objective is that corporate social responsibility is perceived as a way of:

  • Achieving MAPFRE's corporate interests and its strategic objectives.
  • Managing the company on the basis of the values defined by MAPFRE.
  • Establishing stable and equitable relationships with stakeholders, especially those defined in the mission.
  • Managing the risks and business opportunities arising from the changes in the environment in which MAPFRE does business, assuming the impact it generates on society and the environment by maximizing the positive aspects and minimizing the negative ones.
  • Transmitting the company's social values in every territory in which it is present, reconciling the value of its operational activities with the value of the nonprofit activities it undertakes.

To achieve these aims, the Policy sets out general principles of action related to aspects such as compliance, human rights, fiscal responsibility, good governance, transparency, the environment and promotion of CSR. It also defines six specific principles for each of the following stakeholders: shareholders, employees, providers, distributors, clients and society in general.

The effective application of the Policy and the monitoring and control of the related actions are supervised by the Group's Corporate CSR Committee, an internal body that has executive functions and is empowered to offer information, give advice and make recommendations within its remit.

Sustainability Plan

Approved in 2016 with a three‐year time span, the plan allows the company to improve its performance in this area and strengthen relationships with the different stakeholders with which the Group has a special relationship, such as shareholders, employees, providers, clients and society in general.

It does this by carrying out specific actions related to critical issues like human rights and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, transparency, the environment, cybersecurity, diversity, the prevention of corruption and fraud, and the inclusion of environmental, social and governance aspects in the supply chain, underwriting and investment decisions.

Compliance with the plan at the close of 2017 was 78.5 percent, considered to be a very satisfactory level of development.

Ethical Behavior: Main Compliance and Prevention Measures

[419‐1]

Compliance

[201‐1, 205‐2, 205‐3]

The principal aim of the compliance function is to verify that the Group operates within the legal and regulatory framework that governs its activities, thus minimizing legal and non‐compliance risks, in order to preserve its solvency, integrity and reputation while supporting the Group in achieving its strategic objectives.

Zero tolerance of non‐compliance is supplemented by preventive initiatives organized by the MAPFRE Group compliance function with a view to mitigating the risk of potential non‐compliance.

Code of Ethics and Conduct

[102‐16, 102‐17, 102‐33, 102‐34, 205‐1, 205‐2, 205‐3, 406‐1, 408‐1, 409‐1, 410‐1, 412‐ 3, 415‐1]

MAPFRE's activities are important, as is the way in which they are executed. The Group is conscious of the fact that events may happen in the professional field that affect its image and reputation, and it has therefore created a Code of Ethics to manage this reality. Inspired by the Group's Institutional, Business and Organizational Principles, the code reflects the corporate values and basic principles that should guide employees' actions in their routine tasks and relationships with other stakeholders.

This code was updated and approved by the MAPFRE S.A. Board of Directors in December 2017. It encompasses the following aspects:

Principles of ethical, transparent and socially responsible behavior

Compliance with current legislation

Respect for and protection of human rights

Social responsibility

Sustainability and respect for the environment

Confidentiality of information and protection of personal data

Corporate brand, image and reputation

Intellectual and industrial property

Ethics Committee (composition and powers) Whistleblower channels (operating framework)

Ethics Committee:

[102‐17, 102‐33, 102‐34, 205‐1, 205‐2, 205‐3, 406‐1, 408‐1, 409‐1, 410‐1, 412‐3, 415‐1]

This body is responsible for ensuring implementation of the MAPFRE Code of Ethics and Conduct and for supervising compliance with same. Its functions therefore include consultation, resolution, oversight and promotion of the code.

The Ethics Committee acknowledges and resolves the complaints and queries received, dealing with each case in the manner it deems most appropriate. It carries out each intervention with complete independence and respect for the individuals affected, while at all times guaranteeing confidentiality in the handling of the complaints and queries it processes.

The committee's decisions are binding on the company and the people subjected to its jurisdiction.

48

The Ethics Committee reports annually to the MAPFRE Steering Committee on the activities undertaken during the course of the year, and it provides employees with regular information, through the Intranet, on any clarifications regarding the content of the code which it deems to be of general interest.

Whistleblower channels

[102‐17, 406‐1]

MAPFRE has created two types of channels for use by employees:

  • The Financial and Accounting Whistleblower Channel (www.mapfre.com/CDF) allows Group employees to confidentially report any potentially significant financial and accounting irregularities they observe within the company to the Audit and Compliance Committee of MAPFRE S.A.
  • The Ethical Whistleblower Channel ‐ (www.mapfre.com/Etica) allows employees who have queries about the implementation of the code, or who observe a situation that might constitute a breach or violation of any of the ethical principles or standards of conduct set out in the code, to report them in strict confidence to the Ethics Committee.

Both channels are accessible in Spanish, English, Portuguese and Turkish.

Grievances and Complaints

[417‐2]

MAPFRE ensures that its clients in any country around the globe where it operates in direct insurance have an internal channel to defend their rights deriving from the policies they take out. The company preserves clients' trust by making good on the commitment to give them the best possible attention and promoting the internal implementation of bodies to protect clients' rights. In Spain, the Group currently has an Insured Party Defense Committee in place, a pioneering institution that was created in 1984, and it has had a Complaints Division in operation since 2004. There an internal client protection body in nearly every country in which MAPFRE operates, and there are also external client protection bodies in Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru, United States and Germany.

In 2017, MAPFRE continued to comply with the commitment made to protect the rights of the users of the Group's financial services by establishing global action for the

handling of the information in clients' complaints and grievances, always respecting the particularities of local businesses and in line with the following objectives:

  • Individual:
  • To provide clients with an extrajudicial procedure, free of charge.
  • To provide information regarding that procedure and policies, and on the relevant website in each country.
  • Where necessary, to implement the institution of the Insured Party Defense Committee in accordance with the legislation in force in each country.
  • Group:
  • To maintain clients' trust in the operations and capacity of the MAPFRE companies with which they have taken out policies.

The main figures for grievances and complaints received and processed in 2017 in the principal countries in which MAPFRE operates in direct insurance:

In 2017, 14,927 documents were received in Spain. Of this number, 10,084 were admitted for processing and 5,551 complaints with specific financial claims were considered, together with 4,533 grievances related to lack of attention or neglect in the handling of benefit processing or issuing/purchase of policies.

The company accepted 34.3 percent of the grievances and complaints admitted for processing, and rejected 48.9 percent, while providing alternative solutions in 16.7 percent of the cases (alternative appraisal, the coming to light during the proceedings that the user had initiated parallel legal or administrative proceedings, cessation of the action on the part of the user, etc.).

Furthermore, 4,843 documents could not be admitted for processing due to not complying with the established legal requirements. The respective users were duly informed of the reasons behind this decision.

User service levels were improved by reducing the average resolution time by 4 days, compared to 2016 – it now stands at 8.5 days, compared to the maximum of 60 days allowed by law.

The Insured Party Defense Committee was sent 1,279 complaints relating to specific financial claims. Of them, 6.4 percent were accepted and 92.8 percent were rejected, with other solutions being provided in 0.8 percent of cases, (alternative appraisal, the coming to light during the proceedings that the user had initiated parallel legal or administrative proceedings, cessation of the action on the part of the user, etc.). The time taken to service users was the same as the previous years – 26 days.

In order to improve attainment of intended objectives, 32 general action criteria were established in the body's 2017 Annual Report and the Insured Party Defense Committee issued 33 recommendations on aspects related to the formalization, wording and interpretation of insurance contracts, as well as management procedures aimed at reducing the number of complaints and grievances received from users.

Internal Control

During 2017 work was done to redefine the responsibilities of the Internal Control System using the three lines of defense organizational model, with the primary objective being clarifying internal control actions and responsibilities to be carried out by the first line of defense, which comprises the business or other functions that possess or generate risk exposure.

On a supplementary basis, the Group's main companies have promoted risk evaluation by monitoring risk indicators on a quarterly basis. This mechanism provides governing and executive bodies at the company and Group levels with a tool for monitoring risk limits.

The performance of already established control activities by the parties responsible for corporate areas and the 59 primary companies within the Group is notable, as they involve the monitoring of potential risk indicators and indicators for controls implemented within operations, supported by the corporate Riskm@p platform. In turn, the Company has continued to execute the corrective measures taken in response to the results of the risk indicator evaluation and the controls applied in 2016, which were measures intended to improve or establish controls and response procedures in the event that identified risks materialized.

With regard to reporting and communication, in line with the general objective to obtain reliable financial information, the Group's main companies completed quarterly questionnaires on the Internal Control Financial Reporting System (ICFRS). These offer

documentary evidence of the activities and controls conducted for the main financial reporting processes.

The Group has continued to prepare the annual analysis of the presence and operation of the various components of its Internal Control System in terms of supervisory activities which, together with the independent evaluations carried out by Internal Audit, facilitate knowledge of the level of control within the organization while facilitating the identification and adoption by company‐level management of the improvements that are necessary to attain the level of internal control that supports the achievement of business objectives.

Protection of employees from moral and sexual harassment in the workplace

[406‐1]

In 2015, the Board of Directors approved a Personal Respect Policy that expressly states that respect of others is a basic element of employee conduct. As such, MAPFRE rejects any show of workplace harassment, and any other behavior that is violent or offensive to the rights and dignity of people, whenever these situations contaminate the workplace, have negative effects on health, well‐being, confidence, dignity and the performance of those who suffer from same.

Respect for people is a responsibility of the entire organization and it extends both to relationships among employees, regardless of their position in the company, and to relationships among employees and clients, providers, collaborators and other stakeholders. They must all contribute to ensuring a work environment in which people's dignity is respected.

The general principles in this area are:

  1. To contribute to maintaining a work environment that is free of harassment and behavior that is violent or offensive to people's rights and dignity, and to guarantee that, if it occurs, there are appropriate procedures for dealing with the problem and correcting it.

  2. To reject any manifestation of harassment, whether ethical, sexual, psychological or of any other type, and also any behavior that is violent or offensive to people's rights and dignity, and consider respect for people and their dignity as one of the organization's basic principles of action.

MAPFRE has mechanisms in every country in which it operates, which are designed to avoid harassment situations, but if they should arise, there are adequate procedures for dealing with and rectifying the issue.

During the year, 22 harassment claims were brought within the Group, and these were resolved using the in‐house procedures put in place to this end. All the professionals providing instruction on this topic first received specific training themselves.

Prevention of fraud and corruption

A number of procedures exist to combat fraud, which is understood to be any action taken or omission committed intentionally and dishonestly, when taking out insurance, reporting an incident or accrediting the damage caused, and during the processing of the same, with the intention of obtaining unjust enrichment from the insurance company.

MAPFRE collaborates fully with the security forces in this area and implements early warning mechanisms to detect potentially fraudulent anomalous situations, using approved and standardized computer tools at corporate level.

MAPFRE has a Criminal Risk Prevention Model in place to assist with crime prevention, which includes the principles related to the prevention of illegal actions. This Model details the supervisory and control mechanisms MAPFRE has in place to prevent the commission of criminal acts.

Security

[410‐1]

Security at MAPFRE focuses on protecting employees, safeguarding client and other stakeholder information, and ensuring the sustainability of the Group's operations and the services that it provides.

  • Workers are protected by providing a safe work environment, which comes about through the preventive maintenance of the facilities, the implementation of self‐ protection plans in workplaces, the design of specific measures for business travel (especially to unstable areas), and the provision of direct and specialized support in the event of risk situations.
  • The commitment to information security relating to clients materializes via aspects such as high standards of compliance with data privacy and protection regulations. Accordingly, various safeguard measures have been established to ensure the

necessary levels of confidentiality and integrity, thereby respecting the trust placed in the company by clients, shareholders and other stakeholders. Intense efforts were invested in 2017 to adapt MAPFRE to the new European Union General Data Protection Regulation and the Group participated in industry forums and collaborated with public institutions to facilitate the best possible implementation of this regulation.

In terms of availability, business continuity solutions are designed and implemented to prevent interruption of the services provided to clients in the event of serious contingencies, thus contributing to the sustainability of business operations. The efficiency of the measures taken to address these situations was demonstrated by MAPFRE's response to the real crises stemming from the Irma and Maria hurricanes in the USA, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic, the earthquakes in Mexico and Chile, and the terrorist attacks in Spain last August.

MAPFRE also has procedures, tools and specialist staff in place to ensure that the new initiatives and corporate information systems have built‐in security criteria from the outset, designed to minimize risks, protect data privacy and increase incident detection and response capabilities.

Internal Audit

MAPFRE considers that this independent and objective assurance and consultation function helps the organization comply with its stated objectives by providing a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluating and improving the efficiency of risk management, internal control and corporate governance processes.

The Internal Audit Area is charged with the following general functions:

  • To supervise compliance with and the effectiveness of the Internal Control System and of other elements of the Governance System.
  • To comply with the Annual Internal Audit Plan, reporting any weaknesses that are detected and making recommendations to resolve same, and monitoring the implementation of those recommendations.
  • To evaluate the reliability and integrity of the individual and consolidated accounting information prepared by MAPFRE S.A., the Subsidiaries, Business Units, Territorial Areas, Regional Areas and Corporate Areas, as well as the validity, sufficiency and application of the legal and accounting principles and rules.

  • To effectively coordinate the communication of information between the Board of Directors and the internal and external auditors through the Audit and Compliance Committee.

  • To perform ongoing monitoring and on‐site internal audits of acquisitions, new businesses and developing activities, as key risk elements of the Strategic Plan.
  • To support the Organization in meeting its objectives by providing professionals in areas in which independent opinions or support may be required for development (internal control, risk management, organization, analysis of financial statements, analysis of investments, etc.).
  • To coordinate the work of External Auditors and analyze their conclusions before they are finalized.
  • To gather the information necessary to support the MAPFRE S.A. Audit and Compliance Committee and other audit committees which are established at subsidiaries due to a legal obligation or on a voluntary basis, and the office of the MAPFRE Chairman and CEO.

5.3. Risk Management

[102‐15, 205‐1, 205‐2, 205‐3, 410‐1, FS1, FS2, FS3]

In order to ensure efficient administration of risks, MAPFRE has developed a set of Risk Management policies that assign responsibilities, establish general guidelines, basic principles and action framework for each risk type, assuring coherent application within Group companies.

The Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. establishes the risk level that the Group is prepared to assume in order to reach its business objectives without any significant deviations, even in adverse situations. This level, which defines limits and sub‐limits per risk type, is set by the MAPFRE Group risk appetite.

MAPFRE's structure is based on Units and Companies with a high degree of management autonomy. The Group's governing and management bodies approve the risk management actions to be taken by the Units and Companies and constantly supervise their exposure to risk using indicators and ratios.

The Group's Risk Management Area handles all significant aspects of risk management involving the Group and its various legal entities, establishing guidelines and reference criteria that are assumed by the risk areas at the individual companies, with any adaptations that are necessary.

The governing bodies regularly receive half‐yearly information relating to the quantification of the main risks to which the Group is exposed and the capital resources available to cover them, as well as information relating to compliance with the established Risk Appetite limits.

Assigned capital is established in general based on estimates made in line with the targets for the following year, and it is periodically reviewed throughout the year in line as risks develop, in order to ensure compliance with the established Risk Appetite limits.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks and opportunities

[201‐2, 102‐15, 102‐29, 102‐31, 102‐41, 201‐2, 410‐1, FS2, FS2, FS5, FS9]

The concept of sustainability is based on three fundamental pillars: economic, social and environmental development. For this reason, managing risks and business opportunities associated with environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues plays a key role in sustainable development.

Proper monitoring of these aspects provides the organization with additional information about these potential risks as well as a clearer insight into social movements and transformations and the expectations of its stakeholders. In this context, MAPFRE's business model and strategy are an example of how the company faces the global challenges regarding sustainability; how it manages ESG risks; and how it innovates in developing insurance products and solutions for the benefit of its clients and the community.

Management of ESG risks helps in decision‐making on important issues as underwriting, investment, innovation in products and services, and reputation management, the latter being essential to gaining the trust of our stakeholders. Consequently, ESG risks are naturally incorporated into the management and control processes implemented by the Group.

Products and Services

Developing insurance solutions in products and services to address the needs of clients regarding this type of risk is becoming a challenge and also an ongoing business opportunity.

In 2017, MAPFRE launched more than 60 Automobile, Life, P&C, Health and Burial products on the market. It also has products in its portfolio offering basic coverage and reduced premiums for low‐income groups in the Automobile, Life, Homeowners and Health business lines.

Environmental initiatives aimed at clients are grouped into three categories:

  • Environmental risk management, which includes cover for damages, third‐ party liability and environmental liability; services for the identification, analysis, evaluation and control of risks; and the review and monitoring of the development of the risks and their corrective measures.
  • Insurance products for sustainable renewable energy projects, forestry projects, and initiatives related to energy efficiency and saving.
  • Services that encourage environmental protection and the conservation of resources.

See Note 4 of section 7.4 of this document.

Risk of natural disasters

Special attention should be paid to MAPFRE's action in relation to natural disasters, where an appropriate prediction of these events and the right assessment of possible losses are essential elements of an insurer's management. These two lines of action determine the economic impact on the company and the response it will be able to offer its clients. Consequently:

  • The Nature Risks Area of MAPFRE RE and the Catastrophic Risks department of MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS, together with MAPFRE's local companies exposed to these hazards, actively work to face the challenges arising from continuously monitoring this type of event.
  • Additionally, MAPFRE GLOBAL RISKS is working on an initiative for a more efficient control of catastrophic exposure in the 200 countries where the company currently insures over 600,000 risk situations.

Socially‐responsible investment

MAPFRE also signed up to the United Nations Principles for Socially Responsible Investment. In early 2017, the Good Governance Fund was launched in Spain ‐ this mutual fund combines investment in securities and good corporate governance.

MAPFRE also recently acquired 25 percent of the French asset management firm La Financière Responsable (LRF), which has developed an investment process based on financial criteria and ESG (Integrated Value IVA®). The method uses a database (the Eco‐social Footprint). Updated every year since 2006, the database contains information about more than 120 ESG indicators for 160 companies in the eurozone. The standardized quantitative indicators make it possible to make comparisons between companies or lines of business. This database is particularly useful in the context of increased demand for non‐financial information arising from environmental regulation.

6. MAIN ASSETS

Value creation for an organization is achievable when the company determines its different types of capital and identifies the main areas to work on and the stakeholders impacted or potentially impacted.

Value creation is not static, and projects are therefore undertaken within a time frame of several years, aligned with the Strategic Plan. This chapter describes the main milestones reached in 2017.

The information in this chapter is supplemented by the Annual Accounts and Consolidated Management Report, which are available on the corporate website.

6.1. FINANCIAL CAPITAL

The economic resources which the company owns and uses to pursue its business, either obtained through financing or generated through operations and/or investments.

What is it? Main stakeholders for whom this capital creates value

All stakeholders, especially shareholders and investors and society in general (bearing in mind the economic value generated and distributed).

What are we working on to create value?

  • Shareholders' equity.
  • Investments.
  • Financing operations.
  • The MAPFRE share.

[102‐7, 201‐1]

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Consolidated equity amounted to 10.5 billion euros as on December 31, 2017, as compared to 11.4 billion euros as on December 31, 2016. Of this amount, 1.9 billion euros correspond to non‐controlling interests' shares in subsidiaries, primarily financial entities in Spain and Brazil that MAPFRE has bancassurance agreements with. Consolidated equity attributable to the controlling Company per share was 2.8 euros as on December 31, 2017 (2.96 euros as on December 31, 2016).

The following chart shows changes in equity attributable to the controlling Company in the year:

BALANCE AS AT PERIOD END 8,611.3 9,126.5

Figures in millions of euros

Equity attributable to the controlling Company in 2017 includes:

  • A net reduction of 286 million euros in the market value of the assets available for sale portfolio mainly due to the rise in interest rates in Spain with respect to the amount at the close of December, 2016. Of this, a significant amount corresponds to investments related to Life portfolios linked to products with profit sharing, and therefore are recognized as a greater equity value by shadow accounting.
  • A reduction of 639 million euros for currency conversion differences, primarily due to the depreciation of the US dollar, the Brazilian real and the Turkish lira over the course of the year.
  • Profits to December 2017.
  • A reduction of 447 million euros equivalent to the distribution of the final dividend from the 2016 period and the interim dividend paid against 2017 earnings.

FINANCING OPERATIONS

The chart below shows the composition of the capital structure at the close of 2017:

Capital structure

Figures in millions of euros

Capital structure reached 12.8 billion euros, of which 82 percent corresponds to equity.

The Group has a leverage ratio of 18.1 percent, with an increase of 2 percentage points as a result of the two debt issuances carried out in 2016 and 2017.

In May 2016, 1 billion euros of senior 10‐year bonds were issued, with a fixed interest rate of 1.625 percent.

In March 2017, MAPFRE successfully placed the notes of a 30‐year subordinated bond, with a call option at ten years, for a total of 600 million euros, with a fixed interest rate set at 4.375 percent for the first ten years. The funds coming from this transaction were used to further strengthen the Group's financial flexibility, and diversify its financing sources, as well as to redeem in advance the total amount of the "First Issue of Subordinated Notes of MAPFRE S.A." on July 24, 2017, which is the first call date set out in the Securities Note for the issuance of subordinated notes.

This issuance is considered to be Solvency II compliant Tier 2 capital, thus reinforcing MAPFRE's solvency and financial strength levels. The notes are currently quoted on the AIAF market.

MAPFRE has a 1 billion‐euro line of credit available which was approved in December 2014, by a syndicate of 11 banks, which matures in December 2021 and of which 600 million euros were drawn down at December 31, 2017. Therefore, the Group has an additional 400 million euros of liquidity available.

Various aspects of the Client Relationship Model have been developed in all countries in 2017. This model constitutes a guide for countries to make advances in their client orientation levels, taking advantage of the experiences that have been acquired in other geographic areas and may be adapted to their reality.

MAPFRE is committed to multichannel distribution and is adapting its sales structure to the legislation governing the countries in which it operates. The basis for this multichannel distribution is its own sales network, comprising its own and delegate offices as well as agents.

In addition to its own network, MAPFRE maintains a strong relationship with agents and brokers, which represent an increasingly important part of the distribution of insurance worldwide.

MAPFRE has several agreements or joint ventures with banks and financial institutions. The agreements with BANKIA and BANKINTER in Spain, BANCO DO BRASIL in Brazil, BANK OF VALLETTA in Malta and BHD in the Dominican Republic, are particularly notable.

It also has agreements with service companies and associations that distribute MAPFRE products to their clients and members (companies or individuals).

A growing channel with potential for development consists of the distribution agreements with non‐financial entities such as retailers, dealerships, utilities, with which MAPFRE also has agreements. The Group also maintains a firm and important commitment to digital distribution, a business that is described further below.

DIGITAL BUSINESS

MAPFRE has focused on the profitable growth of its operations and, specifically, digital business. As such, in 2016 MAPFRE established the commitment to increase the volume of its digital business in 2018 by 50% compared to the end of 2015. MAPFRE's digital business has been basically structured into three models associated with the MAPFRE, VERTI and INSURE&GO trademarks.

To attain this ambitious business growth objective the Group has developed several actions intended to improve its profitability.

The strategy defined within the Digital Business Plan is contributing to the attainment of the established objectives.

The various digital marketing actions carried out have improved client orientation by improving personalization and knowledge of clients and applying Big Data techniques, which have also contributed to optimizing acquisition costs and reducing operating costs. The digital process conversion ratios must increase to consequently increase sales.

Advances have been made in the fight against fraud by analyzing available digital data relating to both new production and renewals through portfolio analysis actions and price optimization techniques.

The development of good practices within the various Group operations coordinated by Digital Business has contributed to the attainment of those objectives. An example of this is the definition of a good practices framework for the development of digital business through aggregators and the definition of the Digital Marketing Policy.

More than 150 MAPFRE professionals have been trained throughout the world through the first edition of the Global Digital Marketing and Client Digital Experience Program. Organized within the framework of the MAPFRE Corporate University, the program consists of nine modules and a total of 180 training hours per employee.

[102‐9, 102‐10, 204‐1, 308‐1, 308‐2, 408‐1, 409‐1, 410‐1, 412‐1, 412‐3, 414‐1, 414‐2]

MAPFRE works with more than 139,000 providers, making a distinction between service providers and specific providers (those who render services and assistance as per insurance or service contracts offered by the Group's insurance companies or its subsidiaries to its clients) and support or general providers (those who do not work directly with insureds, but rather with the company as it conducts its affairs, such as suppliers, consulting firms, printers etc.). The following table shows the breakdown by number and total cost:

To strengthen the relationship with providers and provide better service to clients, MAPFRE makes available materials, training dossiers, tools, and online and on‐site courses for providers, in order to facilitate their jobs and to keep them updated regarding regulatory changes, technological developments and other relevant matters. Furthermore, in 2017 5 specific provider loyalty programs were developed in 8 countries, usually in the form of offering them advantages such as insurance or travel discounts.

MAPFRE has a management model for service providers to develop the strategic initiative "Providers as Brand Ambassadors", based on the application of the general principles that define the management model orientation and the relationship with service providers. These principles are Customer orientation, optimization of contact with clients, bi‐directional commitment, provider value, categorization of providers and cost optimization.

This common contribution model implies continuous feedback regarding the commitments between MAPFRE and the provider, such that all matters included in the model give rise to the establishment of new commitments by both parties.

The Providers as Brand Ambassadors project is currently underway in 24 countries:

  • BRAZIL Region: Brazil
  • LATAM North Region: Mexico, Dominican Republic, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Guatemala.
  • LATAM South Region: Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ecuador, Chile, Venezuela and Peru.
  • North America Region: United States and Puerto Rico.
  • EURASIA Region: Italy, Germany, Turkey, Malta and Philippines.

In 2018, work will begin on pushing transformation projects in every country on the back of the implementation of the common contribution model, as well as policing the main project efficiency and quality indicators.

One of the Group's sustainability objectives is to promote socially responsible behavior on the part of providers who work, or who want to work, with MAPFRE. Within the MAPFRE Group Sustainability Plan 2016‐2018, the approval questionnaires for both service and support providers have been revised and updated to include key

questions related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects. Among other things, the questionnaires include sections on security and workplace safety measures afforded workers, prohibition of child and forced labor, environment and labor sanctions, workforce inclusion, respect for basic labor rights and commitment to human rights.

New providers will be added with ESG approval, and current providers will go through the related approval process in a gradual manner.

In 2017, a total of 233 support providers with ESG approval were added to the roster, and 4,049 service providers were invited to become approved in this aspect, with 2,634 completing the process.

Furthermore, a specific application was rolled out that facilitates the control and management of ESG factors relevant for this type of provider. The application is already operational in Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, and will be up and running in 22 countries over the course of 2018.

MAPFRE's Procurement Regulations allow for the rejection of a provider in the event that they either do not sign up for, or do not comply with, the following clauses: data protection, treatment of provider data, signing an environmental and energy commitment letter, provider equality clause and a declaration of the relationships between contractors, shareholders or other persons linked to the provider and people linked to MAPFRE, as well as a reputation clause.

QUALITY

The quality perceived by clients is evaluated using the MAPFRE Global Model for Measuring Client Experience, the aims of which are as follows:

  • To constantly be aware of, by use of a consistent methodology, the level of client satisfaction in the different countries and businesses.
  • To identify the aspects impacting the client experience in order to make improvements.
  • To provide countries with a tool to help them in defining and implementing initiatives, assigning the most appropriate priority level.
  • To set goals for improvement and aspire to be a benchmark in client experience across all countries and lines.

Additionally, the MAPFRE Quality Observatory is responsible for measuring the quality perceived and delivered and conducts client surveys in every country where the company operates. These surveys cover all lines of insurance and assistance services and are conducted every six months. This is done through the analysis of the Net

Promoter Score (NPS) to evaluate client satisfaction and critical client contact points, and recommendations are prepared regarding the main areas that may be improved.

The reports drawn up by the Quality Observatory provide data on the client experience, assisting with the decision‐making process in the different business areas.

In 2017 the 4th and 5th NPS measurement waves were carried out, involving a representative sample of MAPFRE's portfolio. These waves each covered 23 countries and lines, covering almost 79 percent of the Group's total Non‐Life premium volume.

In 2017 the Quality Observatory performed the first measurement of the internal NPS (iNPS) regarding the level of client experience with the reinsurance services rendered by MAPFRE RE to all Group companies.

In addition to the Global Model for Measuring Client Experience, MAPFRE allocates 220 employees to monitoring and controlling quality worldwide. Meanwhile, several companies have quality certifications whose renewal demands sustaining high customer service standards.

MAPFRE holds ISO 9001 certification in Brazil, Spain and Turkey. MAPFRE RE also holds ISO 9001 certification and MAPFRE ASISTENCIA holds this same quality certification in Algeria, Argentina, Bahrain, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Philippines, Italy, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Tunisia, Turkey and Venezuela.

DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT

[102‐8, 401‐1, 405‐1]

Employee management is particularly relevant in a global company with a worldwide presence, as is the case with MAPFRE. MAPFRE has a Diversity and Equal Opportunity Policy in place and maintains a public commitment to both gender diversity and functional diversity.

Gender diversity

A global action framework has been defined to strengthen equality in all employee management processes.

In 2017, 2,161 women held management and leadership job positions. There is a commitment in place to have women hold 40 percent of management and leadership positions worldwide by 2018. Progress with this objective can be seen in the accompanying table:

% women in management/leadership job positions at the Group
2017
2016
38.8%
38.6%

2018 Objective:

Women holding 40 percent of Group management and leadership positions

In 2017:

• Women represented 56.1 percent of new hires.

• Women made up 38.8 percent of employees in management/leadership positions, which is a 2 percent increase over the past three years.

• Women occupied 13 percent of management/leadership positions considered as "Top Management", and 40 percent of women hold positions considered to be "Junior Management".

Functional diversity

At the end of the year, 768 employees with different capacities formed part of the Group's workforce, which is 48.3 percent more than in 2016.

MAPFRE is also firmly committed to including people with disabilities in its workforce, and thus committed to having this group make up 2 percent of the workforce by 2018. MAPFRE has exceeded this objective one year ahead of schedule.

People with disabilities in the workforce

  • o Development of computer applications with accessibility criteria.
  • Workplace Integration Actions:
  • o In 2017, 120 people with disabilities joined the workforce.
  • o At present, 768 MAPFRE employees with disabilities work in 31 countries.
  • o 23 interns with disabilities carried worked at MAPFRE.
  • o Donations totaling 333,843 euros were assigned to actions related to workplace inclusion for disabled people.
  • o Promotion of indirect employment through contracts with special employment centers or similar companies totaling 250,687 euros.

Cultural diversity

[202‐2]

MAPFRE has 36,271 employees of 81 nationalities, (1,170 employees in the Corporate areas of 17 nationalities), which gives the Group great cultural diversity and provides it with the talent it needs for the business.

The Group promotes international mobility, which in 2017 enabled 108 employees to transfer their job positions to another country.

As regards senior management and executives who work in Group companies, 82.4 percent are natives of the countries in which they work.

Generational diversity

Several generations work together at MAPFRE, as shown in the accompanying graph:

A global mentoring program continued throughout 2017, which is an initiative that started in 2016 with the promotion of several events among the various generations.

TALENT MANAGEMENT AND MOBILITY

A global project has been implemented to identify the profiles that are necessary for the business strategy and talent requirements within the organization. In addition, development plans have been defined for each employee participating in the project, thereby guaranteeing succession plans and executive replacements, as well as covering strategic needs.

Within the project framework, 59 global strategic profiles have been identified; 4,217 employees with potential have been identified and selected; a global database, MAPFRE Global Talent Network, has been created to manage these employees, which powers a global talent management system using cloud technology, and global career plans have been developed for underwriters, sales advisors and actuaries, covering 1,911 employees.

The recruitment of external talent and support for young talent is also promoted and the e‐recruitment project published 586 selection processes on social and professional networks, which allowed the number of followers interested in working at MAPFRE to increase from 87,198 to 127,220.

MAPFRE has a global program covering internships in place at the company, called "Grow with us", along with several trainee programs.

  • Global Internship Plan: agreements have been reached with 438 universities, business schools and university institutions and in 2017, 1,201 students completed internships in various areas of the organization.
  • Trainee Programs: the main objective of these programs is to recruit recent graduates who are highly prepared and have high potential. In 2017 the specific program for MAPFRE RE involved 15 people of 9 nationalities, who joined the 63 employees selected via other programs over the past two years.

Internal mobility

[202‐2, 404‐2]

In 2017, of the 5,210 published vacancies, 1,836 were filled through internal mobility, with this representing a promotion for 53.4 percent of the people involved. Functional mobility stood at 10.6 percent of the workforce, representing 3,900 employees.

Geographic mobility (international careers, global mobility or temporary transfers) allowed 23 countries to work with professionals from another 22 countries. Currently, 273 managers and employees are working outside their country of origin.

MAPFRE employees may also participate in the temporary mobility program, Task Force, which involves the launch of new businesses or transversal transformation projects through the immediate and coordinated action of a specialist team. This mobility encourages employee development, increases employability and the development of global skills, thanks to its international scope. Last year, 20 employees participated in this type of project.

Mobility is considered to be the primary promotion and development tool. Accordingly, the objective set for each year globally is a mobility rate exceeding 10 percent.

LEARNING AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

[404‐1, 404‐2]

Training has always been a differentiating and very relevant factor at MAPFRE. The company promotes learning and knowledge management through its Corporate University, knowledge paths, training itineraries, self‐learning and mentoring.

In 2017, the foundations for knowledge management were established at MAPFRE, which will facilitate employees in accessing knowledge and sharing it via the internal Intranet and other digital channels.

The Corporate University: present in all countries in which MAPFRE operates, the university facilitates training in the three corporate languages and five local languages, and it is accessible to all employees and more than 16,000 intermediaries. Within the university, there are 16 Technical Schools, 9 Knowledge Rooms and an Innolab.

Some relevant information:

  • In 2017, the Reinsurance School and two new classrooms linked to strategy ‐ the Life Room and the Company Room ‐ were launched. Over the course of the year training was provided to 100 percent of the workforce, via 1,543,024 hours of training, which represents an average of 43 hours per employee.
  • Number of training hours by job position, gender:

  • More than 35 global technical and transversal programs were carried out.
  • A total of 20.8 million euros was invested in training, an average of 573 euros per employee.
  • A Global Program on Digital Business and Digital Client Experience was delivered in the three corporate languages, through which more than 150 professionals from 20 countries were certified.

Knowledge Paths: More than 1,700 knowledge points relating to the thirteen functions in the MAPFRE functions map have been identified, and serve as a basis for the design of development plans, career plans and training itineraries, as well as to identify and take advantage of synergies within training resources in different countries.

Training Itineraries: establish common technical training at the global level for all countries in Spanish, English and Portuguese, and training itineraries have been defined and designed for brokers, issuers and call center employees. In 2017, 10,360 employees benefited from this training.

Self‐learning: By offering all employees around the world open catalogs of different training resources, employees establish their own learning road map and can design and build their own knowledge and career route. Access is available to more than 150 training resources.

Mentoring: Employees and executives have an "internal guide" who assists them in advancing with an action and development plan with regard to specific learning, organizational knowledge, culture, digital awareness, platform use and social network objectives, among other things. To facilitate their development, a global framework has been defined for the mentoring process, both on a traditional and inverse basis.

ORGANIZATION AND NEW WAYS OF WORKING

[401‐3]

Promoting a culture of team work and collaboration is a corporate objective, and to this end the Group has a universal functions and job map in place to assist with the definition of strategic profiles and knowledge points within the organization.

The corporate intranet, to which 80 percent of employees worldwide have access, facilitates the sharing of information, knowledge and content across the entire organization. There are currently 4 groups working on 11 projects under the Agile methodology, and 400 people have been certified in lean methodologies.

Work is also underway on implementing flexible schedules, technological mobility and process‐based and objectives‐based work. The following results were obtained in 2017:

Work‐life balance measures No. of employees

REMUNERATION AND RECOGNITION

[102‐35, 102‐36, 102‐37, 102‐38, 201‐3, 401‐2, 404‐3]

MAPFRE has a Remuneration Policy in place that seeks to establish appropriate pay levels in line with each function and job position and professional performance. This facilitates remuneration serving as a source of motivation to reach established objectives and to contribute to executing MAPFRE's strategy.

The Remuneration Policy also guarantees equality, internal and external competitiveness in each market, and forms part of the internal development of employees.

The pay structure comprises 5 items:

  • o Fixed remuneration.
  • o Variable remuneration linked to objectives, being one form of variable remuneration.
  • o Long‐term compensation programs and multi‐year incentives at global level for more than 200 executives.
  • o Recognition programs.
  • o Social and other benefits.

In order to determine the percentage of variable compensation compared to fixed compensation, the following table shows the optimal target percentages of variable compensation established with respect to fixed compensation for each job level:

Job position level Variable remuneration
as a % of total fixed
compensation
Executives 40%
Managers and
Management 30%
Positions
Technicians 20%
Admin. assistants 10%

The assignment and settlement of annual variable remuneration happens via the Objectives‐based Management model, which determines the weight of the various categories of objectives for each job position level. This model was fully rolled out in 2017 in all countries and business units, and a distribution of objectives at the closest impact level for employee performance was completed with respect to the results obtained by the company, as is reflected in the accompanying table:

[102‐37]

Performance Evaluation allows employees to know their objectives and receive continuous feedback regarding their work performance while improving communication with their line manager, reaching consensus on an action plan focusing on professional development. It also contributes to the development of the team and aligns it with the business strategy. In 2017, evaluations were completed for 30,666 employees, representing 84.5 percent of the workforce.

MAPFRE offers a broad range of social benefits which, in addition to forming part of the compensation structure, facilitate well‐being and work‐life balance for employees. The following table shows the main benefits offered by the Group.

Type of Company Benefit % of employees who enjoyed the
benefit from among entitled

Health insurance 94.8%
Retirement/Life insurance systems 97.3%
Insurance discounts 73.3%
Length of service awards 19.7%
Education grants for the children of employees 39.1%
Newborn child bonus 5.1%
Loans 21.9%

All benefits are offered to employees, regardless of whether they are on permanent or temporary contracts, and in 2017 company benefits totaled 180.5 million euros.

Assistance is also offered to employees for special situations, normally resulting from health problems, together with financial assistance for retired employees. The amount applied to this assistance in 2017 totaled 506,025 and 437,096 euros respectively.

WELL‐BEING AND HEALTH

[401‐3, 403‐1, 403‐2]

The Group has a Well‐being, Health and Occupational Risk Prevention Policy in place, the general principles of which are to ensure a healthy work environment that allows all employees to do their jobs under the best physical, psychological and social conditions possible, and to attain an optimum level of occupational safety beyond mere compliance with occupational risk prevention regulations.

MAPFRE adopts a prevention model through which workers may actively participate in everything that might affect their health and safety at work, for which there are legally established representation channels. A total of 27,130 employees, or 74,8 percent of the workforce are represented on joint management‐employee health and safety committees, which have been set up to help, monitor and advise on this issue.

In addition to occupational prevention matters, MAPFRE has implemented a Healthy Company model that was created in line with current international guidelines, (European Network for Workplace Health Promotion (ENWHP) and the WHO), which is sustained by a continuous improvement process.

It is a holistic model, focused on people, around which there are five areas of action.

There follows some relevant data regarding the prevention and healthy company model during the year:

Maternity leave was taken by 749 employees in 2017, while paternity leave was taken by 432 employees. At the end of this leave, 77.7 percent of women and 95.8 of men return to work.

Training / awareness: every year employees receive health and healthy habits training, and in 2017 a total of 10,879 hours of specific training were given on health, well‐being and occupational risk prevention.

Between June 5 and 9, MAPFRE Week: Health Objective was celebrated, an international initiative aimed at promoting healthy lifestyle habits and encouraging employee participation in events, involving more than 33,000 Group employees (93.9 percent of the workforce).

The "Think Pink" campaign, which aims to enhance breast cancer awareness, deserves mention here: carried out in 26 countries, the campaign reached 82.2 percent of employees.

For further information regarding the campaigns carried out by the Group, please consult indicator 403‐2 in the GRI indicator index in the Supplementary Information section.

PROCESS DIGITALIZATION (HR ANALYTICS)

This relates to a project developed within the framework of the strategic talent initiative that is intended to enrich human resources management:

  • o The first predictive model has been produced to identify those posts and employees with the highest likelihood of rotation, and parameters and leverage have been defined to reverse these situations.
  • o The talent, learning, selection and mobility processes are carried out using a global cloud‐based technology tool, with globally defined processes that are implemented equally in every country. This encourages mobility and global and collaborative work.

INNOVATION

At MAPFRE, innovation aims to produce specific improvements to the value provided to clients or efficiency improvements. It also seeks to keep abreast of market developments and in line with trends that arise at global level, which is now a matter of survival for companies.

New value propositions are sought in strategic segments that respond to business challenges, as well as exploring new trends to gain knowledge as to how they impact the environment so as to adapt the business to those changes.

The pillars of MAPFRE's Innovation Model are as follows:

1. The Innovation Community, which in 2017 reached a total of 19 innovation and development offices (OID), at which there are approximately 40 part‐time employees and more than 250 Innoagents (employees in any post within the organization who act as ambassadors for innovation, providing methods to change the company's culture and actively participating in innovation projects within their environments). The purpose of this community is to generate and channel innovation within the organization and translate it into specific projects that comply with the company's strategic plans.

To ensure that companies adapt to changes in their environment, cultural transformation at all levels is necessary. Abilities with tools such as Design Thinking or Lean Startup contribute to making innovation at MAPFRE a reality. During 2017, training on this methodology, for both employees belonging to the innovation

community and those at different levels of the organization, was given in all regional areas.

At the end of 2017 the innovation portfolio at MAPFRE at global level consists of more than 70 innovation projects which, due to their geographic scope and potential impact on the organization, are divided into 58 local, 4 global and 8 corporate categories.

The Corporate projects respond directly to the company's global strategic plan. An example is those that cover the Strategic Initiative on Automobile Insurance in MAPFRE 3.0, which was created in 2017 on the back of the paradigm change that is taking place in the automobile ecosystem. The objective of the initiative is to develop automobile insurance and boost capacities within the MAPFRE Group that will ensure it maintains its value proposition and competitiveness in the coming years.

This strategic initiative includes several specific projects that progressed in 2017, and are articulated via three axes: the technological development of vehicles (connectivity, automatic driver assistance systems (ADAS) and electric cars), which are taking giant leaps forward, the changing role of manufacturers, which demands new responses from insurers, and the sharing economy, which is already a reality.

2. Think Tanks, which are dedicated to exploring and analyzing new trends and their direct impact on the business.

3. The Startup Relationship Model, which covers interaction with the entrepreneur and startup ecosystem in order to analyze possible innovative solutions that respond to challenges faced by the company, gaining an awareness of the most agile and dynamic methods of working and incorporating best practices. Over the course of 2017, this new entrepreneurial ecosystem was analyzed in order to build bridges connecting MAPFRE with the startup environment, ratifying its commitment to society and adapting the company to the new business models that are evolving constantly worldwide.

Work continued on developing three lines of action in 2017:

  • Participation in investor vehicles, such as Alma Mundi.
  • Startup observatory: Monitoring of the insurtech/fintech ecosystems to establish partnerships with key companies.
  • Participation in acceleration processes: Exploration of new relationship models with startups.

New products and services launched 2017

[102‐2]

MAPFRE firmly believes that it is crucial to be as close as possible to the client, adapting to their needs, and so the company develops new products and services to continue offering a greater range of solutions to the growing and changing needs of clients.

In 2017, 11 new services related to improving client relationships and better meeting their expectations were launched. These included both applications and improvements to client web portals.

In addition, the products listed below were launched over the course of the year to complement the Group's sales offering.

MAPFRE also has portfolio products and services aimed at lower‐income groups, as well as environment‐related products and services. See Note 4 in section 7.4 of this document for further information.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Digital transformation is one of the lines of action defined in the Group's Strategic Plan, the objective of which is to quickly respond to the new needs of our clients.

During the year MAPFRE made significant advances in its digital transformation process, launching more than 200 projects. This effort has allowed significant achievements to be attained with respect to the digitalization of client relationships, (considering a client to be a consumer, distributor, provider and internal client), as well as operations:

  • Specifically, in the case of the consumer client, attraction and conversion have improved thanks to better digital marketing, the management of leads using ROPO (Research Online Purchase Offline) and the implementation of advanced pricing systems (present in 3 countries ‐Spain, Turkey and Columbia‐ and under development in Brazil and Peru). The increase in self‐service functionality should also be included within these actions. During the year, work advanced on the creation of a Corporate Mobility Framework, linked to business needs, in order to unify, reuse and make the rollout of apps by all countries more agile.
  • In the case of the distributor client, the focus was on mobilizing the sales network and generating a 360° view of clients. The corporate CRM was rolled out with 10 implementations, with those of MAPFRE SIGORTA, MAPFRE RE, MAPFRE ESPAÑA Corporate Client and VERTI USA being notable due to their impact. The advances in big data have also delivered enriched client information and facilitated the company in advancing with respect to the 720° client view.
  • Digital solutions have been deployed for providers in order to enhance their mobility, receiving service assignments directly on mobile devices and providing them with the ability to report the status of the service being rendered in real time.
  • Significant advances have been made with the implementation of the Global Intranet for internal clients or employees, which now covers 96.4 percent of employees falling within the scope of the project (which excludes BB MAPFRE and Indonesia).
  • Finally, strong progress was made with respect to digitalizing operations, with more 8.3 million automated transactions carried out in 2017.

CYBERSECURITY

[418‐1]

Within the context of technological disruption that has the ability to affect almost every aspect of society, MAPFRE understands that cybersecurity is a key issue and the following have been identified as protection priorities:

  • Information regarding third parties (clients and other stakeholders) that is provided by them so that the business may be carried out and they may be provided with the contracted services when the time comes
  • The information owned by MAPFRE that gives it a competitive advantage and/or brand value
  • The technological systems and the information that support the company's business processes

In order to achieve the foregoing, MAPFRE has in place a series of strategic lines that are articulated through cybersecurity and which are intended to contribute to the sustainability of operations:


Evaluation and improvement of cyber attack prevention, detection
and response mechanisms.
Cyber Risk
Management

Continuous development Information Systems and Communications
Networks protection mechanisms.

Evaluation and improvement of Disaster Recovery mechanisms.

Early adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation.

Centralization and concentration of capacities at the Corporate
Office for Privacy and Data Protection (OCPPD).
Proactive Privacy
Integration of Privacy into the life cycle of new initiatives that involve
the management of personal data, including carrying out preventive
analysis regarding the impact on privacy of new processes and the
relevant implementation of controls and measures.

Awareness and sensitivity actions for employees, clients and
Cybersecurity Culture providers.

Training and capacitation actions for employees and agents.

Integration of cybersecurity into the life cycle of new initiatives at the
Cybersecurity from company.
the Start
Evaluation of cybersecurity and Privacy in processes covering the
procurement of technology solutions and the contracting of
technology services.

The lines of action include the protection of information when gathered, transmitted, stored or processed that makes it possible to exercise diligence when establishing preventive measures and detecting and responding to cyber attacks or business interruption incidents.

They also include mechanisms intended to provide early identification and to monitor and respond to three essential external factors that may necessitate modification in the protection needs of various assets:

  • Cyber threats, with the most frequent appearance of systemic vulnerabilities and/or "day zero" and advanced attacks.
  • Regulatory or legislative changes, such as the General Data Protection Regulation, or new security, privacy or data protection laws in the various countries in which MAPFRE operates, as well as the growing demand and requirements of large clients that MAPFRE services, with respect to protecting information in general and the personal data regarding its own clients in particular.

The business initiatives associated with the need for agility and the use of new technological trends relating to the digital transformation of companies.

MAPFRE, through its Corporate Security and Environment Division, has advanced capabilities to increase the company's cyber resilience, which include:

  • Highly specialized and accredited personnel (MAPFRE has a total of 154 certifications in cybersecurity, and 62 certified employees), responsible for identifying, defining, designing and, where appropriate, implementing and operating the various security controls and the technological tools intended to protect the company's digital assets, as well as incorporating requirements, controls and functionality in the cybersecurity area (including privacy) within the company's new initiatives.
  • Specific monitoring, detection and protection technologies covering security incidents that have been integrated into the corporate technology platform.
  • Tools, methodologies and specialists dedicated to continuously reviewing and evaluating the level of cybersecurity in the company's information systems, identifying weaknesses and lack of control early.
  • A General Control Center (CCG‐CERT), integrated into the FIRST network, which continuously monitors (on a 24/7 basis) the information contained in the technology platform operated by MAPFRE as well as the information that it owns that is accessible via third‐party systems, thereby allowing for the early detection of any cyber incidents and providing an agile response to them.
  • Incident and crisis situation response plans, which are subject to constant and systematic updating.

MAPFRE has a DPO (Data Protection Officer) charged with protecting the privacy of the data entrusted to the company by clients and other stakeholders, and there is a specific area within the Corporate Security and Environment Division that is responsible for ensuring compliance with existing privacy and personal data protection regulations. Throughout 2017 intense work was carried out in the following areas:

  • Early adaptation to the European General Data Protection Regulation, with action taken through various transversal working groups at the corporate level as well as groups for specific companies and businesses.
  • Implementation of the Corporate Office for Privacy and Data Protection (OCPPD), whose mission is to be the point of reference for all activities relating to privacy and data protection at the MAPFRE Group, providing a single, universal view of the

subject, encouraging uniformity in all processes and criteria relating to this area and improving efficiency of same.

Throughout 2017, three disciplinary files were opened against MAPFRE ESPAÑA related to the Personal Data Protection Act 15/1999, of December 13, with one of them currently being processed. In addition, a disciplinary file was opened against MAPFRE SEGUROS in Portugal in relation to the Personal Data Protection Act 67/98, of October 26.

MAPFRE's stance on the subject of cybersecurity is integrated within the corporate security model, based on risk management and the comprehensive protection of tangible and intangible assets, via the establishment of measures linked to the value of these assets and also to all those elements that interact with same (people, information systems, facilities and processes).

INTANGIBLE ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BRAND AND REPUTATION

The positioning of the brand is defined based on the company's business strategy, its vision and its corporate values.

This thus establishes transversal meanings (for both the type of business and for the various countries) for the concepts of Globality and Trust so that we can in turn ensure our differentiation in each market.

Taking brand awareness in each country as a starting point, content is built to drive the brand through advertising, sponsorship and public relations actions in both conventional and digital areas in order to attain maximum recognition and appreciation.

As a reference and a reflection in the local external market of this development that is intended to be both consistent and coherent, MAPFRE has been recognized as the most authentic and reliable insurance brand by Spaniards in the study "Authentic Brands", prepared by the global agency Cohn & Wolfe. The report, which includes the top 100 most authentic brands in Spain, analyzes perception by Spanish consumers of Spanish companies, emphasizing the three main value principles that reflect authenticity: being respectful, reliable and genuine.

Of the main brands that operate in Spain, the study ranks MAPFRE number two in the ranking of financial institutions, followed by ING, MasterCard and Visa. The company is also the most improved in the study, rising 123 positions. Among the parameters that are taken into account in preparing this report, treating clients well, protecting their privacy, complying with commitments, offering quality, communicating honestly, acting with integrity and, finally, being genuine and truthful, are all notable.

MAPFRE has also been recognized by the BrandZ Spain ranking, "The Top 30 Most Valuable Spanish Brands", prepared by Kantar Millward Brown and WPP, which ranks MAPFRE 18th in the classification. The MAPFRE brand came out as the top brand in terms of how it differentiates itself from its competitors, as well as being one of the top five healthy brands.

Taking into account that a brand is how a company presents itself, and that reputation is how it is perceived, MAPFRE is conscious that reputation is an intangible element that contributes value to companies.

MAPFRE uses the Reptrak methodology from the Reputation Institute to measure its reputation among the general public. Reputation is measured annually across seven dimensions (offering, innovation, work, integrity, citizenship, leadership and finances) that facilitate subsequent management. MAPFRE ended the year with a strong global reputation level, considering the Reptrak scale for the insurance industry.

Other specific indicators are also considered, such as MERCO. In 2017, MAPFRE was once again among the top 10 companies in Spain with the best reputation, and it enjoys the best reputation in the insurance industry. In Mexico and Argentina, MAPFRE is among the top 50 companies with the best reputation. MAPFRE in Spain holds 11th position in the Merco Talent ranking, and once again leads the insurance sector, while in Peru it is one of the 100 best‐rated companies.

MAPFRE was also recognized as a Best Workplace in 9 countries, (Ecuador, El Salvador, Spain, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Peru and Dominican Republic), in addition to general recognition in Latin America. Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic were also awarded Best Workplace recognition in the Central America and Caribbean ranking. Randstad also ranked MAPFRE as the most recognized insurance company in Spain for the fifth consecutive year, while Actualidad Económica has MAPFRE in 11th position in its ranking of the best companies to work for.

In addition, MAPFRE is certified as a Family‐Friendly Company (Empresa Familiarmente Responsable) in Spain and MAPFRE S.A. was granted the "Equality in the Company" distinction by the Spanish Ministry for Health, Social Services and Equality after a thorough evaluation of the company's equality measures.

Presence on Social Networks

MAPFRE has a social network community comprising 2,056,490 users, 12.14 percent more than the previous year. In 2017, 16,189 content pieces were published on the company's various social networks, reaching more than 540 million users. On Facebook alone, this content was viewed 200,147,666 times, generating an engagement rate of 1.56 percent, which means that users interacted 2,096,502 times with MAPFRE's social networks.

MANAGEMENT OF STAKEHOLDER RELATIONSHIPS

[102‐40, 102‐42, 102‐43, 102‐44, 103‐1, 103‐2]

Stakeholders

MAPFRE considers stakeholders to be all parties, groups or organizations with legitimate interests that may be directly or indirectly affected by the activities or decisions of the company, and insofar as they develop their relationship, have the capacity to impact on the company. It is therefore necessary to build relationships that establish trust among the parties.

The accompanying graphic illustrates basic references to groups and subgroups, which

may change, based on the changes arising in the environment.

Relationship channels

[102‐41, 102‐43, 102‐44]

Management of relationships with stakeholders involves multiple factors, including having adequate relationship channels available. Some of the most relevant that MAPFRE has established with its strategic stakeholders are as follows.

Shareholders and Investors

Among the initiatives taken in 2017 to improve relationships with shareholders and investors, the following are noteworthy:

  • The participation of MAPFRE's chairman and CEO in the 22nd edition of the "Annual Financials CEO Conference", organized by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, at which the most significant milestones achieved over the past 10 years were reviewed, together with the strategy of focusing on profitable growth and the new projects designed to tackle the digital era.
  • 100 The organization of the second "Investor Day", which facilitated revision and discussion with analysts and investors on the development of the Group's

three‐year strategic plan, as well as the capital management policy and reinsurance, the impact of the natural disasters that occurred in the last financial year and the outlook for the international business, with special focus on the USA

  • The launch of the "MAPFRE Shareholders: A Unique Value" plan, which seeks to make advances and tighten relationships with shareholders. Within the framework of the plan, events were held in Madrid and Barcelona to provide first‐hand explanations to shareholders on the development of the company's business.
  • A quarterly bulletin was designed that allows updated information on MAPFRE to be consulted, as well as infographics that give visual explanations of results and the main corporate news.
  • The "Shareholders and Investors" section of the corporate website was redesigned to make it more accessible for investors.

In terms of the communication channels available to this group, the following is of interest:

  • The shareholder telephone service (on the toll‐free number 900 10 35 33) received 1,298 inquiries.
  • The corporate website and the [email protected] email address received 104 requests last year.
  • The Electronic Shareholders' Forum, first created in 2011, was also operational for the Annual General Meeting held on March 9, 2017.

Intense communication activities continued with regard to requests for information from financial analysts and institutional investors. The table below summarizes the communication activities conducted with the financial markets in 2017:

  • The Corporate Intranet.
  • Internal magazines (The World of MAPFRE, a global magazine for all employees worldwide, and the internal magazines published in the different countries).

  • Internal survey regarding materiality to identify the matters that are important to employees and the company, and the perception of same.
  • "Great Place to Work" (GPTW) workplace climate survey, which is carried out with all MAPFRE employees every two years, and annually in certain countries only.

In 2017, 9 countries made it on to the list of BEST WORKPLACES (Ecuador, El Salvador, Spain, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Peru and Dominican Republic), and also across Latin America in general. Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic were also rated as Best Workplaces in the Central America and Caribbean ranking.

At MAPFRE 20,772 employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements in 14 countries, which means that 57.3 percent of the workforce has union representation. MAPFRE enjoys a fluid relationship with employee representatives and has maximum respect for those who performing this function within the company. To do so it has:

  • Company participation bodies with the employees' legal representatives and formal committees.

  • Specific newsletters.
  • Specific work groups and supervisors for each business area and for technology goods and services to manage the relationships with these providers.
  • Smartphone applications.

INTERNATIONAL COMMITMENTS RELATING TO SUSTAINABILITY THAT HAVE BEEN ASSUMED BY MAPFRE

[102‐12, 102‐13]

Benchmark international initiatives assumed by MAPFRE

United Nations Global Compact: This commitment entails integrating within its management the 10 principles of action related to human rights, as recognized in the International Bill of Human Rights, labor rights, the environment and the fight against corruption. The MAPFRE Progress Report for 2017 obtained the maximum "advanced" rating classification.

In 2004, MAPFRE signed up to this initiative and is a member of the Global Compact Spanish Network.

United Nations Environment Program Finance Initiative (UNEPFI): This initiative develops and fosters links between the environment, sustainability and financial performance, identifying and promoting the adoption of the best environmental and sustainability practices at all levels of a financial institution's operations.

Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI): A set of specific principles for the insurance industry, geared to managing and monitoring risks and opportunities associated with environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues.

Within this framework, MAPFRE has undertaken the general commitment of the insurance industry to support the United Nations Plan of Action on Disaster Risk Reduction for Resilience.

Paris Pledge for Action: The commitment to achieve a safe and stable climate in which the rise in temperature is limited to below 2 degrees centigrade. Signatories also undertake to adopt immediate measures to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to a safe level.

Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) of the United Nations: this initiative aims to understand the impact that environmental, social and governance aspects have on investments, and advise signatories on how best to incorporate same into their decision‐ making. The Group has decided to progressively these principles with its investment policy.

MAPFRE is also a signatory to the Carbon Disclosure, Water Disclosure and Carbon Action Programs which form part of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).

Sustainability indexes in which MAPFRE is present:

  • FTSE4Good. MAPFRE has been included in this index since 2006 on a consecutive basis.
  • CDP. For the second year, MAPFRE was included on this initiative's Climate A‐ List, for having achieved the highest rating (A) as regards performance in mitigation and adaptation to climate change, and transparency of information reported.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and Human Rights. [407‐1, 408‐1, 409‐1, 410‐1, 411‐1, 412‐1, 412‐2, 412‐3, 413‐1, 413‐2]

Human rights

MAPFRE's commitment to internationally recognized human rights, as defined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is set forth in its Institutional, Business and Organizational Principles, its Code of Ethics and its Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.

Additionally, MAPFRE adheres to international standards such as the United Nations Global Compact and other sector‐specific standards, e.g. Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) and Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).

Under the MAPFRE Group's Sustainability Plan, in 2016, a self‐assessment impact was started, using the Guide to implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, drawn up by the Global Compact Spanish Network.

Additionally, in the context of the 2017 materiality process, an internal analysis has been performed on the impact of MAPFRE's activity on human rights. As a result, it was possible to identify priority areas for the application of due diligence processes (prevention, mitigation and repair). The reference document used to identify the human rights was the International Bill of Human Rights, consisting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).

To make it easier to conduct the analysis, the rights were grouped together by type and similarity, and the list was reduced from 35 to the following 10 basic rights:

1. Elimination
of
discrimination
in
respect
of
employment
and

MAPFRE's position with regard to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030.

MAPFRE has an impact on the development of the countries in which it operates, and it is therefore committed to the social footprint it leaves behind as a company pursuing business opportunities. Contributing to the United Nations Development Agenda 2030 forms part of the road map through which MAPFRE will harness the efforts of all employees to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDG) proposed under this initiative.

In 2017, following completion of the internal analysis process and in line with the MAPFRE Group Sustainability Plan 2016‐2018 and the Group strategy, a map of MAPFRE's position with regard to the SDGs was defined to identify the goals to which it can make the greatest contribution.

The section titled Social Footprint includes MAPFRE's impacts on society, and identifies the SDGs with which they are associated.

MAPFRE is also involved in the internal and external campaigns to publicize the SDGs through the "Companies4SDGS" program, which is supporting the Global Compact Spanish Network, in collaboration with the IMPACT2030 initiative.

Launched in October 2017, the campaign will last 12 months during which information, videos, challenges, sustainable habits and volunteering activities will be shared with employees worldwide through the Intranet so they can learn about and support the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through their own actions.

To date, the first four goals of the campaign have been publicized and warmly received by employees, and there have also been numerous interactions, suggestions and comments on the company Intranet and websites.

THE SOCIAL FOOTPRINT: SOCIAL VALUE, SHARED VALUE

Environmental Strategy Model

[102‐18; FS1, FS3, FS4, FS9]

MAPFRE has an Environment Policy in place in all companies, particularly through the Integrated Corporate Environmental, Energy and Carbon Footprint Management System (SIGMAYE).

Designed in compliance with the ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and ISO 14064 international standards, this system constitutes the common framework for managing all aspects associated with environmental sustainability, including energy and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, it makes it possible to identify the best practices and implement them at corporate level. This ensures the constant improvement of actions and optimal performance beyond compliance with regulations in force.

The highlights from 2017 include the following: SIGMAYE was adapted to standard UNE‐EN‐ISO 14001:2015; and Portugal was added to the Group's Inventory of Greenhouse Gases, which already includes Colombia, Spain and Puerto Rico, as per UNE‐EN‐ISO 14064:2012.

This table shows how the various facets of SIGMAYE performed over the last three years; these results mean that more than 59.96 percent of the company's premium volume is managed using this system.

Integral to SIGMAYE is an International Expansion Plan that analyzes candidate countries based on several selection criteria: socioeconomic climate; size of company in terms of revenue; special characteristics of existing buildings; number of employees; legal environmental requirements; and degree of implementation of the Security and Environment function.

Since the International Expansion Plan was approved in 2010, the following countries gradually joined the 27 buildings and repair shops already certified in Spain:

  • 2013: Puerto Rico and Colombia
  • 2014: Brazil and Mexico
  • 2015: Paraguay and Portugal
  • 2016: Argentina and Chile
  • 2017: Venezuela (pushed back to Q1 of 2018)

Climate Change Management

Contributing to a decrease in the greenhouse gas emissions generated by the organization in the course of its activity is considered to be both a challenge and an opportunity for the company. It also represents a key element in its actions concerning environmental responsibility.

The Group's wish to play a relevant role in this challenge means drawing up a short‐, medium‐ and long‐term strategy that minimizes the identified risks and promotes the

execution of detected opportunities. To this end, MAPFRE performs a continuous analysis of weather trends and of the global context, focusing on the following:

  • Assessment of regulatory pressure and instability of legal fundaments.
  • Frequency and impact of extreme weather phenomena.
  • Development of technologies that help in the transformation toward a low‐ carbon economy.
  • Awareness‐raising among stakeholders as key players in technological and social change.

Additionally, MAPFRE has a Strategic Plan for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency with 2020 as its time horizon. This plan establishes that the Group will reduce its carbon footprint by 20 percent with regard to the tons of CO2 produced in 2013 (a reduction of 14,710,519 kWh and 9,924 tons of CO2), a goal that was achieved three years ahead of schedule. As a result, the company has committed to more ambitious objectives in the medium‐ and long‐term, with a time horizon of 2050, when it aims to reach CO2 neutrality.

Countries included: Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, USA, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Turkey.

Categories included: Scope 1 (Natural Gas, building diesel, fuel for company vehicles); Scope 2 (Electricity); Scope 3 (paper consumption, emissions avoided thanks to recycling paper and company travel (only in Spain)).

At the close of 2017, a reduction of 45 percent compared to the baseline was achieved in the nine countries.

Linked to the Group's transparency and performance regarding this issue, these actions led to the CDP recognizing the MAPFRE Group as a leading global company in

the fight against Climate Change – MAPFRE was included in the Climate A‐List for the third consecutive year.

The Carbon Footprint derived from the company's activities includes both direct and indirect emissions.

The following greenhouse gases are reported for the three scopes falling within GHG Protocol and ISO 14064: CO2, CH4, N20, HFCs, PFCs, SF6 and NF3.

Biodiversity Preservation

[304‐2, FS4]

The consequences of climate change for ecosystems have led the Company to undertake to preserve biodiversity. As a consequence, and under the motto "Without biological diversity, there is no economic diversity", MAPFRE signed the Biodiversity Pact of the Spanish Companies and Biodiversity Initiative.

In 2017, the Company published the results for 2013‐2015 with the other members of the initiative. It also continued its efforts to protect an endangered species and preserve its habitat, in this case, the tortoise and the Mediterranean Sea.

This choice also reinforced the Group's support of ocean protection, specifically the initiative aimed at eliminating illegal fishing through insurance, led by the OCEANA NGO, with the support of the United Nations.

Through its initiatives, the Group therefore continues to honor its commitment to preserving the natural capital. Its preservation is a common interest for humanity, given its importance for life on the planet, social well‐being and economic development.

The Company's engagement in this and other environmental commitments means that employees play a key role in helping it to achieve its environmental objectives and spread knowledge. This refers particularly to objectives linked to processes involving direct employee interaction. These processes include eco‐efficiency and responsible use, whereby employees are key to minimizing the use of resources and appropriately managing waste ‐ these are indispensable aspects to achieving the decarbonization of the economy and a circular and collaborative economy.

About this report

Integrated Report

This report was prepared in line with the recommendations in the reporting framework published by the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), the guidelines provided by the comprehensive option under the new standard and the financial sector supplement in the Global Reporting Initiative, whose index of indicators is attached as an appendix to this report.

Furthermore, the report responds to the reporting requirements established by Directive 2014/95 EUA on the disclosure of non‐financial and diversity information, as well as the respective transpositions in Spain (Royal Decree‐Law 18/2017) and in Italy (Legislative Decree 254/16 NFI). It also includes information required for the Consolidated Non‐Financial Information Statement, which forms part of the Consolidated Report of MAPFRE S.A.

The Annual Accounts and Management Report have also been taken into consideration, which is public information and may be consulted in full on MAPFRE's corporate website.

The report offers a complete overview of the company, its implementation, business model, the challenges and risks faced, and its performance regarding social, environmental, economic and governance aspects. It constitutes a first approximation to the creation of financial and social value that has allowed progress to continue and to establish a better relationship between the business model and the described effect on capital.

This report was analyzed by the company's Audit and Compliance Committee and approved by the MAPFRE S.A. Board of Directors at its meeting held on February 7, 2018.

Scope of information

The integrated report covers MAPFRE S.A. and its subsidiaries and investee companies and has taken into consideration the scope of information established in the reports used as a basis for its preparation.

Responsiveness

In addition to providing information that is of relevance to MAPFRE's stakeholder groups, the report responds to the observations conveyed to the organization by these stakeholders throughout the course of the year. However, anyone interested in consulting or completing the information provided in this report can contact MAPFRE through:

External verification report

The qualitative and quantitative data respond to the new GRI standards and have been externally verified by KPMG Asesores S.L., including the data submitted by MAPFRE's companies in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Spain, USA, Italy, Mexico, Peru and Turkey, which on aggregate, represent 72.54 percent of the Group's business volume.

In addition, a limited review of data provided in the rest of the MAPFRE's companies has been carried out.

Balance

The report reflects positive and negative aspects of the organization's performance, and when results fall short of initial expectations this under‐performance is noted in the corresponding headings.

7.2. Materiality

[102‐15, 103‐1, 103‐2, 103‐3, 102‐21, 102‐43, 102‐44, 102‐47, 412‐1, FS5]

Relevant matters are identified within the framework of stakeholder relationships as an exercise in consultation and dialog, so as to evaluate the most relevant sustainability issues on the public agenda and their potential impact on MAPFRE.

The issues subjected to consultation are identified on the basis of relevant external sources, including the European Directive 2014/95/EU on the disclosure of non‐ financial and diversity information, and internal sources such as the MAPFRE Group Sustainability Plan 2016‐2018 and the materiality study pertaining to 2016.

The analysis and evaluation process involved internal MAPFRE areas (such as Human Resources, Compliance, Investor Relations, Security and Environment, CSR and Reputation) in Spain, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico, which together represent 55.13 percent of total revenue, as well as the following stakeholders: employees, clients, providers and distributors. This year 776,332 evaluations were received from a total of 50,591 unique users, distributed as follows:

No. of participants
Clients 38,430
Distributors 3,541
Employees 6,451
Providers 2,169

The external consultation process was carried out by CBI Consulting via an online questionnaire, and their participation again this year guarantees the anonymity and confidentiality of the responses received.

The study includes an analysis of the issues evaluated, based on the following variables: a) the importance of the issue for the specific stakeholder and MAPFRE, and b) how this stakeholder perceives MAPFRE's handling of the issue. This approach enables the Group to develop improvement plans and actions throughout the year.

This process led to the identification of ten material issues. The accompanying table shows these issues, arranged in descending order of relevance and stakeholder perception on a scale of 1 to 10:

Overall, more than 20,700 policies covering environment‐related aspects were issued in 2017, representing a premium volume of more than 120 million euros and 0.51 percent of the Group's total premiums.

In the case of environmental and energy services, some are directly associated with insurance policy benefits. As proof of this, in 2017, MAPFRE's provider network included 16 fully electric vehicles that can be deployed to provide roadside assistance

for owners of electric cars. These assistance vehicles are equipped with a generator that can charge cars anywhere, anytime. As a result, this service reduces carbon footprint, preventing assistance tow trucks from traveling to the breakdown location and towing the vehicle back to a charging station.

In addition, MAPFRE is encouraging its providers to renew their tow truck fleets with hybrid vehicles, and there are already 9 light hybrid tow trucks available for this roadside assistance service.

Other services are related to research on repairs for vehicles involved in accidents, conducted at the Road Safety Experimentation Centers (CESVI) in Spain and the Americas, which contributes to the reduced consumption of pollutants such as paint and solvents and helps minimize the environmental impact of vehicle repairs.

CESVIMAP, through CESVI RECAMBIOS, manages scrapped vehicles. A total of 2,834 scrapped vehicles were managed in Spain and Colombia in 2017, from which 84,531 parts and components were recovered for recycling.

The environmental services provided by MULTIMAP are mainly targeted at energy savings and efficiency. This company installs charging points for electric vehicles in the garages of private homes and the parking lots of condominium associations, as well as providing integrated energy efficiency and energy saving services in buildings and facilities. This work produced revenue of 235,177 euros in environmental services.

Independent Assurance Report to the Management of MAPFRE, S.A.

(Free translation from the original in Spanish. In case of discrepancy, the Spanish language version prevails.)

To the Management of Mapfre, S.A.

In accordance with our engagement letter, we performed a limited assurance review on the nonfinancial information contained in the Integrated Report of MAPFRE, S.A. (hereinafter MAPFRE) for the year ended 31 December 2017 (hereinafter "the Report") including indicators of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Spain, United States of America, Italy, Mexico, Peru and Turkey, as set out on this report's Annex and that could be included in the equivalent local Reports of MAPFRE in these countries.

Management responsibilities

MAPFRE management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Report in accordance with the Sustainability Reporting Standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI Standards), in accordance with comprehensive option as described in item 102-54 of the GRI Content index of the Report, obtaining confirmation from the Global Reporting Initiative on the proper application of these. Management is also responsible for the information and assertions contained within the Report; for determining MAPFRE's objectives in respect of the selection and presentation of sustainable development performance, including the identification of stakeholders and material issues; and for establishing and maintaining appropriate performance management and internal control systems from which the reported performance information is derived.

These responsibilities include the establishment of appropriate controls that MAPFRE management consider necessary to enable that the preparation of indicators with a limited assurance review would be free of material errors due to fraud or errors.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to carry out a limited assurance review and issue this report based on the work performed, referring exclusively to the information corresponding to 2017. We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (reviewed), "Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information", with ISAE 3410 Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) and with the Performance Guide on the revision of Corporate Responsibility Reports of the Instituto de Censores Jurados de Cuentas de España (ICJCE). These standards require that we plan and perform the engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the Report is free from material misstatement.

KPMG applies International Standard on Quality Control 1 (ISQC1) and accordingly maintains a comprehensive quality control system, including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

KPMG Asesores S.L., a limited liability Spanish company and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent
member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"), a Swiss entity.

Reg. Mer Madrid, T. 14.972, F. 53
Sec. 8, H. M -249.480, Inscrip. 1.
N.I.F. B-82498650

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Internal Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on Fundamental Principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care. confidentiality and professional behavior.

Limited assurance review of indicators with limited assurance engagement

Our limited assurance engagement consisted of making inquiries to Management and persons responsible for the preparation of information presented in the Report, and applying analytical and other evidence gathering procedures. These procedures included:

  • Verification of MAPFRE's processes for determining the material issues, and the participation of stakeholders therein.
  • Interviews with Management and relevant staff at group level and selected business unit level. concerning the existence of sustainability and corporate responsibility strategy and policies for material issues, and the implementation of these across the business of MAPFRE.
  • Evaluation through interviews concerning the consistency of the description of the application of MAPFRE's policies and strategy on sustainability, governance, ethics and integrity.
  • Risk analysis, including searching the media to identify material issues during the year covered by the Report.
  • Review of the consistency of information comparing Universal Standards with internal systems and documentation.
  • Analysis of the processes of compiling and internal control over quantitative data reflected in the Report, regarding the reliability of the information, by using analytical procedures and review testing based on sampling.
  • Review of the application of the Global Reporting Initiative's Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI Standards) requirements for the preparation of reports in accordance with comprehensive option and with response to the requirements to RDL18/2017 related to non-financial information and diversity.
  • Reading the information presented in the Report to determine whether it is in line with our overall knowledge of, and experience with, the sustainability performance of MAPFRE.
  • Verification that the financial information reflected in the Report was audited by independent third parties.

Our multidisciplinary team included specialists in social, environmental and economic business performance.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is lower than that of a reasonable assurance engagement. This report may not be taken as an auditor's report.

Conclusions

Our conclusion has been formed on the basis of, and is subject to, the matters outlined in this Independent Assurance Report. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusions.

Based on the limited assurance procedures performed and the evidence obtained, as described above, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the non-financial information contained in the Integrated Report of MAPFRE S.A. for the year ended 31 December 2017 has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI Standards) of the Global Reporting Initiative as described in point 102-54 of the GRI Index, including the reliability of data, adequacy of the information presented and the absence of significant deviations and omissions.

Under separate cover, we will provide MAPFRE management with an internal report outlining our complete findings and areas for improvement.

Purpose of our report

In accordance with the terms of our engagement, this Independent Review Report has been prepared for MAPFRE in relation to its 2017 Corporate Social Responsibility Annual Report that covers the indicators of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Spain, United States of America, Italy, Mexico, Peru and Turkey, as set out on this report's Annex and that could be included in the equivalent local Reports of MAPFRE in these countries. For this reason, this Independent Assurance Report has been prepared for no other purpose or in any other context.
