Report on the Annual Accounts
Opinion __________________________________________________________________
We have audited the annual accounts of MAPFRE, S.A. (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheet at 31 December 2020, and the income statement, statement of changes in net equity, cash flow statement 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 2020, 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 9,507,328 thousand)
See notes 4.c) and 8 of the notes to the annual accounts
| Key audit matter | 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 non-current investments in group companies and associates is determined by the use of valuation technics that require of management judgement and estimations and assumptions 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 businesses, being this year specially important the potential impact of COVID-19 in these matters. 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 assumptions 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 checked the consistency between the expected cash flow used in the calculation of the value in use with the business plans approved by the Directors of the Group´s companies, and their reasonability based in historical experience and market expectations in the markets in which they operate, including an evaluation of the potential impact due to COVID 19 in Group companies and associates. Additionally, we have evaluated the discount and growth rates used in the calculation of the recoverable values, as well as performed sensitivity analysis over the key inputs used in the model, with the goal of assessing their impact in the valuation. - Evaluation that the information within the annual accounts is in compliance with the legal financial reporting requirements applicable to the Company. |

Other Information: Directors' Report ______________________________________
Other information solely comprises the 2020 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, in conformity with prevailing audit regulations in Spain, entails:
- a) Checking only that the non-financial information statement and certain information included in the Corporate Governance Report, to which the Audit Law refers, was provided as stipulated by prevailing regulations and, if not, disclose this fact.
- b) Assessing and reporting on the consistency of the remaining information included in the directors' report with the financial statements, based on the knowledge of the entity obtained during the audit, in addition to evaluating and reporting on whether the content and presentation of this part of the directors' report are in accordance with applicable regulations. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there are material misstatements, we are required to disclose this fact.
Based on the work performed, as described in the preceding paragraphs, we have verified that the information referred to in paragraph a) above is provided as stipulated by applicable regulations and that the remaining information contained in the directors' report is consistent with that disclosed in the annual accounts for 2020 and its content and presentation are in accordance with applicable regulations.
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 legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism 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.
We communicate with the audit and compliance committee of MAPFRE, S.A. 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 of the Entity 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.

9 Individual Annual Accounts 2020
ANNUAL REPORT
FISCAL YEAR 2020
1. Company activity
MAPFRE S.A. (the "Company") is a corporation whose main activity is the investment of its funds in real-estate assets and tradeable financial securities.
The Company's scope of action includes the entire Spanish territory.
Its registered office is at Crta. de Pozuelo, 52, Majadahonda (Madrid, Spain). The Company is the controlling company 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., a 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, 2020 will be prepared by its Board of Directors on March 25, 2021 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.
2. Basis of presentation of the annual accounts
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, and 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 2020 prepared on February 10, 2021 to be approved by the Annual General Meeting with no changes.
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 asset impairment, deferred tax assets and provisions.
The estimates and assumptions used are reviewed regularly, and are based on past 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.
3. Distribution of profits
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 for the fiscal period | 245,606,585.20 |
| Retained earnings | 380,177,016.23 |
| TOTAL | 625,783,601.43 |
| DISTRIBUTION | IMPORTE |
| To dividends | 384,954,496.10 |
| To retained earnings | 240,829,105.33 |
Figures in euros
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 "Shareholders' equity".
This dividend distribution is based on an exhaustive and thoughtful analysis of the situation of the MAPFRE Group, not compromising either its future solvency or the protection of the interests of policyholders and insureds, and is made in the context of the recommendations of the supervisors on this matter.
During the fiscal year, the Company distributed an interim dividend for a total amount of 153,988,000.62 euros (184,773,244.10 euros in 2019), which is recorded in equity under the heading "Interim dividend".
The liquidity statement prepared by the Board of Directors for the distribution of the interim dividend is shown below.
| ITEM | DATE OF AGREEMENT October 30, 2020 |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash available on date of agreement | 5,412 | ||

Thousand euros
The distribution of profits for fiscal year 2019, carried out during 2020, is presented in the statement of total changes in equity.
4. Recognition and measurement standards
The recognition and measurement standards applied are indicated below:
a) Fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets recognized comply with the identifiable criterion and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses.
They are measured at their acquisition price or production cost and usually are systematically amortized according to their useful life.
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 from the Spanish tax authorities, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line 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 are recognized as an increase in the 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 fiscal year-end, and wherever there are indications of impairment, the Company considers whether the fixed assets 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.
Valuation adjustments to assets due to impairment and the reversal thereof are recognized as an expense or revenue, respectively, on th income statement under "Impairment and gains/(losses) from disposal of fixed assets."
If there is an increase in the recoverable amount of an asset other than goodwill, any previously recognized impairment loss 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 on the income statement, unless the asset was previously subject to revaluation against "Valuation change adjustments", in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. Amortization and depreciation expenses are adjusted in the following periods after the valuation adjustment or its reversal.
b) Operating leases
The Company classifies the lease contracts it holds as operating leases given that the lessor does not substantially transfer to the lessee all the risks and benefits of ownership. The revenue and expenses arising from operating leasing are recorded on the income statement over the life of the contract on an accruals basis.
c) Financial instruments
FINANCIAL ASSETS
All assets comprising 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 replicate the valuation of the instruments quoted. This valuation methodology will be based on the discounting of (determined or estimated) future flows from the assets using the risk-free discount curve. 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.
For mutual funds holdings classified as assets available for sale, the fair value will be the fund liquidation value as on the date of valuation.
Operations in the currency market are recorded on the settlement date, while financial assets traded on Spanish over-the-counter markets 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 trade and non-trade receivables.
Following initial recognition at their fair value, they are measured at amortized cost. Any interest accrued is posted on the income statement, applying the effective interest method.
Loans and receivables also include deposits in credit institutions, which are measured at amortized cost. Revenue generated on these deposits is recognized at the effective fixed interest rate.
Trade receivables and other items such as advances, loans to personnel or dividends receivable maturing in less than a year and without a contractual interest rate are measured at their face value when the effect of not discounting cash flows is immaterial 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.
Valuation adjustments due to impairment and their reversal, if applicable, are performed at the close of the fiscal year, recognizing an expense or revenue, respectively, on the income statement. 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.
Investments in the equity of Group companies, jointly controlled companies and associates
Investments in the equity of Group companies, jointly controlled companies and associates are initially recognized and measured at cost minus the accumulated amount of valuation adjustments for 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 closed 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 homogeneous groups.
In the case of the sale of preferential 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 valuation adjustments are made.
A valuation adjustment equates to the difference between the book value of the investment and the recoverable amount. The latter is the higher of fair value less the costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows derived from the investment.
Valuation adjustments due to impairment and their reversal, if applicable, are recorded as an expense or revenue for the fiscal year on the income statement.
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 becomes impaired, at which time they are recorded on the income statement.
Valuation adjustments due to impairment losses and currency exchange differences in financial assets carried in foreign currencies are registered on the income statement. The amount of interest calculated applying the effective interest rate method and dividends accrued are also recorded on the income statement.
Investments in equity instruments whose fair value may not be reliably determined are measured at their cost minus the accumulated valuation adjustments amount due to impairment.
When a value is assigned to these assets due to a balance sheet cancellation or for another reason, the weighted average cost method is applied for homogeneous groups.
In case of sale of preferential subscription rights and similar rights, the cost of the rights reduces the book value of the respective assets.
At least at the close of the financial year, the pertinent valuation adjustments 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 on the income statement. Reversals of valuation adjustments are credited to the income statement, with the exception of those associated with equity instruments, the reversal for which is recognized directly in equity.
For equity instruments, investments are analyzed individually to determine whether any impairment exists, when the market value has fallen either over a prolonged period (18 months) or by 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 on the income statement. 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 nonaccrued explicit interest and the dividends agreed upon acquisition are recorded separately 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.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights over the cash flows of the financial asset expire or when they are transferred, whereupon the risks and benefits of ownership are substantially transferred.
When a financial asset is written off, the difference between the consideration received net of the attributable transaction costs and the book value of the financial asset, plus any accumulated amount recognized directly in equity, determines the profit or loss produced and forms part of the result for the fiscal 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 trade and non-trade payables.
After initial recognition at their fair value (transaction price), they are measured at their amortized cost, and any interest is recorded on the income statement, applying the effective interest rate method.
In the case of trade payables maturing within a year and without a contractual interest rate, as well as third-party called capital for holdings whose amounts are expected to be paid in the short-term, both the initial valuation and subsequent valuations are performed at the face value when the effect of not discounting cash flows is immaterial.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation inherent to them has expired. Additionally, own financial liabilities acquired are derecognized 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 derecognized part of the liability and the compensation paid, including attributable transaction costs, and including any transferred asset other than cash or the liability assumed, is recognized on the income statement 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 derecognized from the balance sheet, and any commission paid is recorded as an adjustment to the book value.
Own equity instruments
All items that show a residual investment in Company assets once its liabilities have been deducted are classified in this category.
Treasury stock is measured 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 in 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 fiscal year-end, 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 on the income statement, 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 as on the transaction date. When determining the net equity of an investee, adjusted for any unrealized gains that exist on the valuation date, the closing exchange rate is applied to the net equity and unrealized gains that exist on that date.
Non-monetary items at fair value are recorded by applying the exchange rate on the date when the fair value was determined, recognizing any losses and gains derived from the valuation as net equity or as earnings, 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 spot 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 exchange rate variations".
e) Corporate tax
Corporate tax is treated as an expense for the fiscal year and is recorded as such on the income statement, including both the tax burden of current tax and the effect of any changes in deferred tax.
However, corporate tax related to tems where modifications in their value are directly recognized in equity are not posted to the income statement but to equity, and the changes in value are included in those items net of the tax effect.
Current tax assets or liabilities are measured at the amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid, as per the tax rules and rates that are in force or approved and pending publication at yearend.
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 process 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 resulting in entitlement to the tax credit or deduction.
Temporary differences derived from the elimination of gains and losses between companies in 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.
As the Group's controlling company, the Company recognizes the total amount payable for consolidated corporate tax as a payable or a receivable with the different Group companies and associates, as appropriate.
Deferred tax is recorded for temporary differences on the reporting date 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 for in current regulations, if applicable.
15 Individual Annual Accounts 2020
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax receivables and tax loss carryforwards to the extent that it is likely that the Company or tax group will have the future taxable profits allowing these assets to be used.
Unless evidenced otherwise, it is not considered likely that the Company will avail of future taxable profits if recovery is to take place more than ten years after fiscal year-end.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets that have not been recognized due to expiration of the ten-year recovery period if the future reversal period does not exceed ten years from the date of fiscal year-end 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 on the balance sheet as non-current assets or liabilities, regardless of the expected date of realization or settlement.
f) Revenue and expenses
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 completion of the service at the close of the fiscal year.
If the gains or losses from providing a service cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is only recognized to the extent to which recognized expenses are recoverable.
Given the Company's activity, the accrued dividends and other revenue from the funding granted to investees are included under "Revenue," and therefore, pursuant to the provisions of the Spanish Accounting and Auditing Institute (ICAC), they are recorded under that heading on the income statement.
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 it is estimated that there will be a probable outflow of funds that include future economic benefits.
They are measured at the fiscal year-end 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 discounted as a financial expense on an accruals basis.
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 share-based 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 the ages of 65 and 77.
Defined contribution plans
These are those in which the Company makes predetermined 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 on the investments made by the fund.
Defined benefit plans
These are plans that establish the benefit to be received by employees at the time of retirement, normally based on factors such as remuneration.
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 plan assets.
The defined benefit obligation is determined separately for each plan using the projected credit unit actuarial valuation method.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in equity accounts.
All the obligations for defined benefit plans that remain on the balance sheet correspond exclusively to retired personnel.
Compensation for termination
Compensation for termination is recognized as a liability and expense when there is a proven 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 past services costs, which are recognized immediately and recorded as an offsetting liability under the heading "Long-term provisions," and actuarial gains and losses, which are recorded on the income statement.
In fiscal year 2019, a new medium-term incentive plan was approved for certain members of the MAPFRE executive team. The plan is extraordinary, not cumulative and multi-year, commencing January 1, 2019 and ending March 31, 2022, with payment of part of the incentives deferred to the period 2023-2025. The payment of incentives is dependent on meeting certain corporate and specific objectives, as well as the director remaining in the Company's or Group's employ. It will be paid partly in cash (50 percent) and partly in MAPFRE S.A. shares (50 percent), and is subject to reduction or recovery clauses.
At the close of each fiscal year of the plan, objective achievement is evaluated and the amount accrued is recorded on the income statement, with a credit to a provisions account for the part of cash remuneration and a credit to an equity account for the part corresponding to shares. The part of the incentive to be received in MAPFRE S.A. shares is measured taking into account the fair value of the assigned equity instruments.
Each year, until the vesting period date, the number of equity instruments included in the calculation of the transaction amount is adjusted. No additional adjustments are made after the vesting date.
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.
j) Non-current assets held for sale
An asset is classified as non-current held for sale when its book value is expected to be recovered through sale rather than through continued use, it is available for immediate sale under its usual conditions and the sale is highly probable.
They are valued at the lower amount between their book value and their fair value less costs to sell.
These assets are not amortized, and losses or reversals due to their impairment are recognized in the profit and loss account.

Increases and decreases corresponding to the last two fiscal years:
Increases due to permanent differences originating in the income statement 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 valuation adjustments to equity instruments (equity investments in Group companies and associates) duly accounted for.
The amount of the decreases due to permanent differences arising from the income statement corresponds to the tax-exempt dividends, as well as the income obtained in the transfer of shares in investee companies that meet the requirements for applying the exemption.
The increases due to temporary differences originating in the year in the profit and loss account basically correspond to commitments and other obligations acquired with personnel and other provisions for expenses that are not considered deductible for tax purposes in the fiscal year 2020.
Decreases due to temporary differences originating in prior years on the income statement primarily relate to: the recovery of adjustments for pension commitments and to the application of provisions for other obligations undertaken with personnel that were not deductible in the fiscal year they were recorded; the recovery of a tenth of the amortization and depreciation of intangible fixed assets and plant, property and equipment that was not deducted in 2013 and 2014.
Increases due to the inclusion of negative temporary differences from previous years correspond to the recovery of the provision that was deducted for tax purposes in previous years due to impairment of the investee company portfolio, which is subsequently eliminated in the calculation of the consolidated tax base of fiscal group 9/85.
Shown below for the fiscal years ending on December 31, 2020 and 2019 are the main elements of the tax on profit expenses from ongoing operations, and the reconciliation between the tax on profits expenses and the product of multiplying the book results by the applicable tax rate.

Verification by tax authorities
In accordance with current legislation, the declarations made in respect of the different taxes may not be considered final until they have been inspected by the tax authorities or the four-year limitation period has elapsed.
During the 2020 and 2019 fiscal years, the verification proceedings were conducted, initiated on December 4, 2017 in relation to the Corporate Tax for fiscal years 2013 to 2016, referring to Tax Consolidation Group no. 9/85, of which MAPFRE S.A. is the controlling company. Likewise, and as regards the Value Added Tax (hereinafter VAT), the Company was informed, as representative of VAT Group no. 87/10, of the initiation of the verification activity for the years 2014 to 2016. Insofar as MAPFRE S.A. is concerned, the proceedings extend to all taxes to which they are subject individually for the years 2014 to 2016 and to Corporation Tax for the year 2013.
As a result of the inspection actions, in relation to MAPFRE S.A., minutes relating to the years 2014 to 2016 on withholding of personal work have been formalized. The settlements deriving from the agreed-on minutes are paid up to the date of formulation of the accounts. In relation to the part that has not been agreed on, for irrelevant amounts, the settlements are on appeal before the Central Economic-Administrative Court.
Minutes of disagreement were also signed in relation to the Income Tax for the years 2013 to 2016, which affect MAPFRE S.A. as an individual company, the settlement of which is on appeal before the Central Economic-Administrative Court.

As of December 31, 2020, and after the aforementioned inspection actions, the taxes owing on the part of the company for the years 2017 to 2020 inclusive are under inspection.

16. Medium-term and longterm 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 7,376,000 euros in 2020 (7,140,000 euros in 2019).
Existing defined benefit plans, all of them instruments taking the form of insurance policies underwritten by MAPFRE VIDA, are those in which the benefit is established based on final salaries, and entitling the beneficiary to a life annuity, tied to the annual consumer price index (CPI). They apply entirely to retired personnel.

Other medium-term remuneration and sharebased payments
The Board of Directors approved a medium-term incentive plan in 2019 that was measured and recognized on the income statement in line with indications set down in the measurement bases described in note 4 h) "Personnel expenses". No provision was made for this concept because the objectives established in the Plan were not met.

20. COVID-19
The year 2020 was marked by the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and its spread, together with the measures aimed at containing and mitigating its effects, has caused a slowdown in economic activity, the final impact of which is difficult to quantify. Under these circumstances, a set of actions framed against two main priorities have been developed: ensuring the health and safety of the entire human capital team and ensuring the continuity of operations in such a way as to allow client service levels to be maintained.
The most relevant actions carried out were:
• Activation of the business continuity plan, adapting it to the uniqueness of the COVID-19 crisis, through teleworking, insofar as it was operational, and the maintenance of essential services.
- Evaluation of the risks deriving from the crisis and adoption of a strategy aimed at protecting the balance sheet, especially investments, and preserving capital, ensuring availability of the necessary liquidity and financing to neutralize any monetary stress.
- Mobilization of resources and transfer of funds to the economy, by granting financial aid and additional financing to agents, direct providers and clients alike.
From the first moment, the safety and health of employees and collaborators was the fundamental priority, in such a way that, from the first weeks of feeling the impact of the pandemic, a teleworking model was deployed. Subsequently, there was a partial, gradual, orderly and prudent return to the facilities, following a model based on incremental waves and always in accordance with the instructions of the health authorities.
From the point of view of managing the crisis caused by the pandemic, despite its impact and restrictions on mobility, continuity of operations was maintained and services were rendered to clients, always complying with the established protocols in the regulations.
It was possible to recover practically all commercial activity, although maintaining strict prevention and control measures in view of the concern associated with outbreaks and eventual changes in trend.
In order to protect the balance sheet and solvency level, the MAPFRE Group has made available the necessary liquidity and adequate financing to neutralize any monetary stress. Consequently, the Group has maintained high levels of liquidity in all its companies, having met the payment obligations in a timely manner, and there is no evidence of significant delays in collections.
The year 2020 reflects very significant falls in world GDP, with the prospect of partial recovery in 2021, but the landscape is still marked by great uncertainty in terms of how benchmark indicators evolve, due to the health crisis and containment measures.
Future prospects are quite uncertain and it is not possible to make an accurate estimate of the future effects of the crisis on business volume, financial position and solvency. However, the strength of the balance sheet, high levels of capital and solvency, liquidity position and availability of financing of the Group permit us to conclude that the the impacts will be limited.

D. Environment
MAPFRE as a Group is wholly committed to environmentally sustainable development, and more specifically, the fight against climate change. The desire to play a relevant role in these issues requires a short-, medium- and long-term strategy, for which an analysis of the climate scenario and the global context is carried out on a continuous basis.
The Group has an Environmental Policy in place, approved by the Board of Directors of MAPFRE S.A. and which is implemented in all Group companies.
In a context of designing ambitious green reconstruction plans, in 2020, and after the successful completion of the Corporate Plan for Energy Efficiency and Climate Change 2014-2020, work has been done on the definition of the new Corporate Plan for Environmental Footprint 2020-2030, which will reflect our commitment to making our activities more sustainable and resilient and will act as the MAPFRE Group's adaptation mechanism to a low-carbon economy.
In addition to issues associated with carbon footprint and climate change, the Corporate Environmental Footprint Plan includes water management, the circular economy and green procurement, as well as other emerging risks such as natural capital and biodiversity preservation. It also includes transversal and facilitating aspects such as construction and sustainable mobility.
Regarding the Carbon Footprint, the expansion of the scope of the UNE-EN-ISO 14064 continues to make progress, having verified the inventories of several countries.
In relation to mitigation and adaptation to climate change, the implementation of the actions defined in the Sustainability Plan 2019-2021 has continued, which defines the short-term action strategy and which is associated with the emission-neutral objective of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) generated by MAPFRE in Spain and Portugal by 2021. The actions carried out will also enable the Group to prepare for the objective of total carbon neutrality by 2030.
To determine the financial impact of climate change, both from a risk and opportunity perspective, the adoption of the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) belonging to the Financial Stability Board (FSB) has continued to be analyzed. To this end, MAPFRE, together with other global insurers and reinsurers, is part of the working group coordinated by UNEP-FI of the United Nations, whose main objective is to analyze scenarios that allow for the development of financial metrics and models to adequately estimate the possible implications of the change climate in business.
Throughout 2020, this working group focused on understanding the potential change of the climate threat under different scenarios and time horizons.
Additionally, and in line with the current context, the circular economy is emerging as a required solution to the economic and climate crisis, making companies more competitive and resilient. In this area, MAPFRE became the first insurer to sign the Pact for a Circular Economy and as such is committed to complying with the commitments set forth in this initiative that seek to promote, favor, encourage and drive the transition toward a circular economy.
In addition, MAPFRE participates in a Natural Capital Working Group, as part of the Grupo Español de Crecimiento Verde (Spanish Green Growth Group) and the Fundación Biodiversidad (Biodiversity Foundation), an initiative through which companies from different sectors share experiences and difficulties encountered in seeking solutions to the integration of Natural Capital in their businesses and projects, using the Natural Capital Protocol as a guide.

Specifically, approximately 80 companies from around the world were analyzed. In 2020, the NPS® of MAPFRE's clients was higher than the average of the NPS® of the competitors analyzed.
To complement these relational NPS® measurements, the Quality Observatory defined a Global Transactional NPS® Model that delivers, in real time, the perception of customers who have just engaged with MAPFRE. Currently, this model is already operational in Brazil and Spain and throughout 2020 it was launched in the USA, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Peru and Chile.
K. Environmental, social and governance factors and risks
The Group has an Underwriting Policy in place, approved by the MAPFRE S.A Board of Directors, which is applicable to all insurance and reinsurance companies. It also has a Global Business Committee and an Underwriting Policy Committee that, among other functions, is in charge of the correct application of said Policy, and analyzes and proposes operating exclusion rules on environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters. In addition, for the underwriting of global risks, there is an internal ESG evaluation model that considers the ESG risk exposure of a given company compared to the ESG risk exposure of the countries and sectors in which said company operates in decision-making, as well as a reputational risk analysis.
In relation to investment processes, in 2017 MAPFRE signed up to the UN's Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and established the Group's framework of action in terms of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI), which focuses on those key aspects that must accompany the organization in the scope, implementation and integration process of ESG aspects, and which are complemented by those determined in each case.
The United Nations SRI principles coexist with the obligation assumed as the custodian of savings and investments of clients and the soundness of the balance sheet. Therefore, criteria of prudence are applied in investment, the creation of longterm value is sought, and ESG factors are incorporated in a complementary way to traditional information.
The Investment Risk Committee periodically analyzes the composition of the portfolios, their ESG evaluation, the controversies that may arise and the application of the approved exclusion causes.
The Corporate Investment Area is responsible for ensuring that the established responsible investment principles are complied with across the organization and reports annually on same to the Sustainability Committee.
L. Other risks and uncertainties
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, and its worldwide spread throughout 2020, has affected practically all sectors of the world economy.
The Group faces the risks and uncertainties deriving from the pandemic with high levels of solvency and with a wide margin compared to regulatory requirements, which will allow it to withstand the most adverse effects that lie ahead and allow it to adopt the necessary measures to comply with its function of offering coverage and protection to clients.
Furthermore, the pandemic has added a special dimension to cyber risks. The accelerated and massive adoption of online processes, ensuring continuity of service, the greater vulnerability, in general, of domestic equipment and the significant increase in the use of technology by all actors has accelerated the occurrence of cyber risks and the digital transformation of companies.
During the month of August 2020, MAPFRE detected a malfunction in its computer systems due to a cyber attack. Following the established procedures, the technology and security teams began an investigation detecting that malware, particularly ransomware, had managed to infiltrate the computer systems, affecting part of the servers and equipment in Spain.
The protocols provided for in the business continuity plan were immediately activated, the priority being to protect the information and block any possible attempt to access the systems by third parties, as well as guaranteeing the provision of service to clients and providers, which was successfully maintained, thanks to the alternative procedures provided.
The MAPFRE Group has an insurance policy in place that covers damages and loss of profits due to this type of event, and as such, the damages are limited by the conditions of the policy.

O. Outlook
Nine months after the COVID-19 pandemic was announced, it has proven to be exactly the disruptive long-trailing event that we feared it would become. The appearance of this "black swan" has generated an unprecedented shock across the global economy that has resulted in a sharp decline in levels of business. It has been characterized as totally unique due to its exogenous, global and unpredictable nature. It is a self-inflicted external shock resulting from preeminently health-based decisions and measures (i.e., lockdown and social distancing), which have led to disrupted activity through restrictions on social interactions within both developed and emerging economies.
The shock will have all sorts of effects on the performance of the global economy. Firstly, we have seen direct effects on supply and demand, which have led to a slump in business and expectations as to how things will pan out (due to high levels of uncertainty). Secondly, and depending on the extent to which social lockdown measures are enforced, we will see a deterioration in the income of market agents and growing pessimism within the industry and among consumers, with both groups having to cope with growing liquidity problems.
And, finally, the third effect is a long-term phenomenon known as the "new normal" resulting from the incomplete and asymmetrical recovery that lies ahead, which may spark sovereign and financial solvency problems, distortions in the price of assets, reduced long-term growth potential (lower physical capital, human capital and productivity) and high levels of public debt, among other aspects.
It is a truly global shock as at the height of this crisis more than 90 percent of the world's economies simultaneously reported a decline in GDP. The effects and speed of the recovery, however, will be asymmetric, and will hinge on the productive structure of each country and the specific economic and health vulnerabilities of each system.
In terms of GDP, the shock will trigger a major correction in the baseline scenario (around -4.4 percent in 2020), with significant differences between regions. It will also raise levels of unemployment globally (the International Monetary Fund estimates that 400 million jobs will be lost) while widening the poverty gap. In terms of disposable income, the expectation is for a widespread reduction of the increased levels of prosperity amassed by the middle classes since the start of the millennium, especially in Latin America.
In terms of financial effects, the shock may involve current-account financing problems across many emerging markets by exerting pressure on their exchange rates and depleting their reserves. It may also distort the price of many safe-haven assets (gold, sovereign bonds, etc.) and may alter international investment preferences by virtue of a growing crowding out effect. Further, the shock will be conducive to an environment of financial volatility and fragility, distorting the proper functioning of the markets due to the effects of the crisis itself and also because of the measures undertaken by governments and central banks to keep it under control.
Lastly, the very nature of this economic crisis means that uncertainty is high (as can be seen in the confidence level of producers and consumers) and the situation has also affected the perception of global risk and regional derivatives (VIX equity index and EMBI emerging market bonds market). This phenomenon is noticeable in the management of global portfolios and in the mass migration of flows we have witnessed since the onset of the pandemic, in line with the rise in the emerging risk premium, which has altered net portfolio inflows in key countries for financing the current account.
Risk aversion currently remains high, although it has eased, and financing flows stand at the level reported in April, with further impairment having now largely been halted thanks to the actions undertaken by central banks in developed countries. Furthermore, in addition to this uncertainty, it is also possible that new risks will appear that we are currently unaware of, but which may be caused by the interaction of preexisting risks and the crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Given this sequence of events, we can split the chronology of the pandemic into in two phases.
The first phase was one of containment (during the second and third quarters of 2020), which was initially characterized by social distancing and lockdown measures. During this phase, shocks affected global value chains, there was limited demand—especially for services—and high uncertainty, leading to increases in the savings rate and a fall in consumption.
However, as restrictions eased and monetary and fiscal economic policy began to show the effects, the situation improved to the point where, in general, the initial forecasts for economic growth in 2020 were upgraded and some level of optimism returned.

The second phase is about transition (extending from the last quarter of 2020 and lasting throughout 2021), during which the world will have to contend with a second wave of infections, prompting an increase in the number of coronavirus cases and a consequent return of restrictions. This will have a mixed bag of effects on global activity, depending on the sector or industry concerned, and renewed levels of pessimism among consumers and producers alike. During this phase, there will be less monetary and fiscal leeway for applying public policies, making positive surprises a less likely prospect as we move forward.
Thus, the long-term horizon will be dominated by three elements that will characterize the "new normal" of the global economy: (i) substantially higher levels of debt; (ii) lower long-term economic growth; and (iii) less input by the market and more input by governments and central banks.
By 2021, however, a rebound in global economic growth is expected to prompt a business improvement of around 5.2 percent, albeit with substantial differences across countries and regions. Growth within emerging markets is expected to be around 6.0 percent, while growth in developed countries should be closer to 3.8 percent.
This is the baseline scenario, although uncertainty arising from the management of the pandemic, and existing and emerging risks, could lead to a more adverse scenario.

Q. COVID-19
The year 2020 was marked by the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and its spread, together with the measures aimed at containing and mitigating its effects, has caused a slowdown in economic activity, the final impact of which is difficult to quantify. Under these circumstances, a set of actions framed against two main priorities have been developed: ensuring the health and safety of the entire human capital team and ensuring the continuity of operations in such a way as to allow client service levels to be maintained.
The most relevant actions carried out were:
- Activation of the business continuity plan, adapting it to the uniqueness of the COVID-19 crisis, through teleworking, insofar as it was operational, and the maintenance of essential services.
- Evaluation of the risks deriving from the crisis and adoption of a strategy aimed at protecting the balance sheet, especially investments, and preserving capital, ensuring availability of the necessary liquidity and financing to neutralize any monetary stress.
- Mobilization of resources and transfer of funds to the economy, by granting financial aid and additional financing to agents, direct providers and clients alike.
From the first moment, the safety and health of employees and collaborators was the fundamental priority, in such a way that, from the first weeks of feeling the impact of the pandemic, a teleworking model was deployed. Subsequently, there was a partial, gradual, orderly and prudent return to the facilities, following a model based on incremental waves and always in accordance with the instructions of the health authorities.
From the point of view of managing the crisis caused by the pandemic, despite its impact and restrictions on mobility, continuity of operations was maintained and services were rendered to clients, always complying with the established protocols in the regulations.
It was possible to recover practically all commercial activity, although maintaining strict prevention and control measures in view of the concern associated with outbreaks and eventual changes in trend.
In order to protect the balance sheet and solvency level, the MAPFRE Group has made available the necessary liquidity and adequate financing to neutralize any monetary stress. Consequently, the Group has maintained high levels of liquidity in all its companies, having met the payment obligations in a timely manner, and there is no evidence of significant delays in collections.
The year 2020 reflects very significant falls in world GDP, with the prospect of partial recovery in 2021, but the landscape is still marked by great uncertainty in terms of how benchmark indicators evolve, due to the health crisis and containment measures.
Future prospects are quite uncertain and it is not possible to make an accurate estimate of the future effects of the crisis on business volume, financial position and solvency. However, the strength of the balance sheet, high levels of capital and solvency, liquidity position and availability of financing of the Group permit us to conclude that the the impacts will be limited.
