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.
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 2023, and the income statement, statement of total changes in 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 2023, 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 10,152,721 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. 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 when impairment indicators exist, with the collaboration of our corporate finance specialists. For those investments where impairment indicators exist, we have checked the consistency between the expected cash flow used in the calculation of the recoverable value 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. Besides, 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. Additionally, we have evaluated that the information within the annual accounts is in compliance with the accounting financial reporting requirements applicable to the Company. |

Other Information: Management Report ___________________________________
Other information solely comprises the 2023 Management 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 Management Report. Our responsibility regarding the information contained in the Management 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 Annual Corporate Governance Report and the Annual Report on Directors' Remuneration, 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 Management 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 2023 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.
REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
European single electronic format _________________________________________
We have examined the digital file of the European single electronic format (ESEF) of MAPFRE, S.A. for the 2023 financial year, which includes an XHTML file containing the financial statements for the year, which will form part of the annual financial report.
The directors of MAPFRE, S.A. are responsible for submitting the annual financial report for the 2023 financial year, in accordance with the formatting requirements set out in Delegated Regulation EU 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 of the European Commission (hereinafter referred to as the ESEF Regulation). In this regard, they have incorporated the Corporate Governance Report and the Annual Report on Directors' Remuneration by reference in the Management Report.
Our responsibility consists of examining the digital file prepared by the directors of the Company, in accordance with prevailing audit regulations in Spain. These standards require that we plan and perform our audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the contents of the financial statements included in the aforementioned digital file correspond in their entirety to those of the financial statements that we have audited, and whether the financial statements have been formatted, in all material respects, in accordance with the ESEF Regulation.
In our opinion, the digital file examined corresponds in its entirety to the audited financial statements, which are presented, in all material respects, in accordance with the ESEF Regulation.

ANNUAL REPORT
FISCAL YEAR 2023
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 Carretera 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, 2022 will be prepared by its Board of Directors on March 20, 2024 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, with a copy sent to the Register of Foundations.
2. Bases of presentation of the annual accounts
a) TRUE AND FAIR VIEW
The true and fair view of the net worth, financial position and results, as well as the veracity of the cash flows included in the cash flow statement, result from the application of the statutory provisions on accounting practice, without it being necessary, in the opinion of the Directors, to include supplementary information.
The Company's Board of Directors expects the individual and consolidated annual accounts for fiscal year 2022 prepared on February 13, 2024, 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, Royal Decree 602/2016 of December 2, and Royal Decree 1/2021 of January 12, as well as with all other applicable mercantile legislation and current regulations.
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 are no reasons that prevent the comparison of the accounts for the fiscal year 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 earnings
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 | 370,807,036.41 |
| Retained earnings | 285,646,949.31 |
| TOTAL | 656,453,985.72 |
| DISTRIBUTION | IMPORTE |
| To dividends | 461,932,990.95 |
| To retained earnings | 194,520,994.77 |
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 a thorough and reflective analysis of the MAPFRE Group's situation, does not compromise the future solvency or the protection of the interests of insurance policyholders and insured persons, and is made in the context of supervisors' recommendations on this matter.
During the fiscal year, the Company distributed interim dividends totaling 184,772,259.89 euros (184,761,730.50 euros in 2022), which is reflected in equity in the balance sheet under the heading "Interim dividend."
The liquidity statement prepared by the Board of Directors for the distribution of the interim dividend is shown below.

The distribution of profits 8for fiscal year 2022, carried out during 2023, 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 the income statement under "Impairment and gains/(losses) from disposal of fixed assets."
11 Individual Annual Accounts 2023
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 (a debt instrument), or any exchange of financial instruments under favorable conditions, are classified as financial assets.
Transactions performed in the foreign currency market are recognized on the settlement date, whereas financial assets traded in secondary markets in the Spanish markets are recognized on the trade date in the case of equity instruments and on the settlement date in the case of debt instruments.
Financial assets are classified as:
Financial assets at fair value with changes in the income statement
This category includes financial assets held for trading and financial assets not classified in any of the other categories.
The concept of trading financial instruments reflects active and frequent purchases and sales with the aim of generating a profit from shortterm fluctuations in the price or brokerage margin.
Financial assets in this category are initially valued at their fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, will be the transaction price, equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given. Transaction costs directly attributable to them are recognized on the income statement for the current fiscal year.
For equity instruments that are neither held for trading nor valued at cost, an irrevocable choice has been made at the time of their initial recognition to present subsequent changes in the fair value directly in equity.
After the initial recognition, they are valued at fair value with changes on the income statement.
Financial assets at amortized cost
This category includes financial assets, even when admitted to trading on an organized market, in which the investment is held for the purpose of receiving cash flows consisting solely of principal and interest payments on the outstanding principal balance (even if the transaction is agreed at zero interest or below the market rate).
Assets are considered to meet this objective even if sales have taken place or are expected to take place in the future. For this purpose, the frequency, amount, calendar, and reasons for sales in previous years, as well as expectations of future sales are considered.
In general, this category includes trade and nontrade receivables.
They are initially valued at their fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price, equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given plus the transaction costs that are directly attributable to them.
In the event of receivables for sales operations and other items such as advances, receivables due to personnel or dividends to be collected with maturity no later than one year, with no type of contractual interest rate, are valued at face value when the effect of not discounting cash flows is not significant, both at initial recognition and in subsequent valuation, unless there is impairment.
These assets are subsequently valued at their amortized cost, accounting for accrued interest on the income statement, applying the effective interest rate method.
Impairment is deemed to exist when there is a reduction or delay in estimated future cash flows that may be caused by the debtor's 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. However, the reversal of the loss is limited to the amortized cost that the assets would have had if the impairment loss had not been recognized.
Financial assets at cost
This category includes investments in the equity of group, multi-group, and associate companies that are initially recognized and valued at cost, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given plus the transaction costs that are directly attributable to them.
The subsequent valuation is carried out at cost less, where appropriate, the accumulated amount of the valuation adjustments for impairment.
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 end of the year, when there is objective evidence that the carrying amount of the investment is not recoverable, the necessary value 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.
Impairment losses and their reversal are recognized as an expense or income for the year on the income statement.
Reversal of impairment is limited to the book value of the investment that would be recognized on the reversal date if the impairment had not been registered. However, if an investment was made prior to its classification as a group, multi-group or associate company, and valuation adjustments posted directly to equity and derived from that investment were made before that classification, said adjustments are generally maintained after its classification and until the investment's disposal or cancellation, at which time they are recorded on the income statement.
Financial assets at fair value with changes in equity
This category includes financial assets whose contractual conditions give rise to cash flows that are solely the principal and interest collected on the outstanding principal amount, and that are not held for trading or classified in the "Financial assets at amortized cost" category.
Also included in this category are investments in equity instruments for which the irrevocable option has been exercised on initial recognition to present subsequent changes directly in equity.
They are initially valued at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is the transaction price, equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given plus the directly attributable transaction costs.
The subsequent valuation is carried out at fair value, and changes in value are posted to equity, being reclassified on the income statement if sold or in the event of impairment of the financial asset.
Corrections in value due to impairment and gains or losses arising from foreign exchange differences in monetary financial assets in foreign currencies are recorded 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, provided there is objective evidence that the value of a financial asset included in this category 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.
Determination of Fair Value:
The fair value of financial assets is determined through the use of market prices, as long as the available quotations of the instruments can be considered representative, as they are regularly published in the usual information systems provided by recognized financial intermediaries.
A fair value hierarchy is established according to the variables used, classifying the estimates into three levels:
- Level 1: those that use unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, which the company can access on the valuation date.
- Level 2: those based on prices quoted in active markets for similar instruments or other assessment techniques in which all significant variables are based on directly or indirectly observable market data.
- Level 3: those in which some significant variable is not based on observable market data.
If market valuation is not possible, a valuation is performed with internal models using, as far as possible, public market data that satisfactorily replicate the valuation of the instruments quoted. This valuation methodology is based on the discounting of (determined or estimated) future flows from the instruments using the risk-free discount curve. Depending on the characteristics of the issue concerned and the issuer, a specific credit risk is assigned, which applies to a different degree to each of the flows to be received.
For shares in mutual funds other than those classified in group companies, the fair value will be the net asset value of the fund at the valuation date.
Cash and other equivalent liquid assets
Cash includes liquid funds 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. Interest from financial assets valued at amortized cost is recognized using the effective interest rate method, and dividends when the right to receive them is declared.
For these purposes, on initial measurement of financial assets, the amount of accrued and unmatured explicit interest and dividends agreed at the time of acquisition are recognized separately on the basis of 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 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 period.
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
Instruments issued, incurred or assumed that give rise to a direct or indirect contractual obligation for the Company, based on its economic reality, to deliver cash or another financial asset or to exchange financial assets or liabilities with third parties on unfavorable terms are recognized as financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities are classified as:
Financial liabilities at amortized cost
These correspond to trade and non-trade payables.
After initial recognition at their fair value (transaction price, adjusted for directly attributable costs), 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 not significant.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognized in whole or in part 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 classified in the category of fair value with changes in equity, 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 of 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 EUR 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 on the cash flow statement as "Effect of exchange rate variations."
e) Corporate tax
Tax on profits is treated as an expense in the fiscal year and is recorded as such on the consolidated income statement including both the tax charge for the current tax and the effect corresponding to the movement in deferred taxes.
However, income tax relating to items whose valuation changes are recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity rather than on the income statement, and changes in valuation of these items are recognized 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 the end of the year.
The Company files consolidated tax returns and the corporate income tax expense accrued by companies filing consolidated tax returns is determined taking into account, in addition to the parameters to be considered in the case of individual taxation, the following parameters:
- 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 necessary to secure the tax credit or deduction.
Temporary differences deriving 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.
On the portion of the negative tax results from some of the Group companies that have been offset by the rest of the Group companies, a reciprocal credit and debit arises between the companies to which they correspond and the companies that offset it.
In fiscal year 2023, the Tax Group must determine its tax base taking into account the individual positive tax bases and 50% of the individual negative tax bases of the companies belonging to the Tax Group. The amount of the individual negative tax bases not included in the group's tax base in fiscal year 2023 will be integrated equally in the next 10 years.
With regard to negative tax results that cannot be offset by the rest of the Group companies, the tax receivables generated by the negative tax bases that are compensated are recognized as deferred tax assets by the corresponding companies, considering the Tax Group as a taxable person for their recovery.
The deductions and discounts of the tax on profits quota will affect the calculation of the tax accrued in each company for the effective amount of same that is applicable in the Group and not for the amount that would correspond to each company as an individual tax.
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.
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 itself 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
Holding participations in group and associate companies is the ordinary activity of the Company, one for which it generates revenue on a regular basis. In application of the criterion expressed by the Institute of Accounting and Auditing of Accounts in relation to the determination of the net revenue amount in holding companies (consultation number 2 of the Official Bulletin of the Institute of Accounting and Auditing of Accounts number 79), the Dividends from group and associate companies and interest received on loans granted to group and associate companies are included as "Net revenue", as well as the fees received for the provision of services to other Group companies and the rebilling of common expenses. Likewise, the heading "Impairment and gains/(losses) on disposals of equity instruments in group and associate companies" is considered within the Operating result.
Revenue from a contract is recognized as and when control over the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer.
The revenue deriving from the commitments (in general, for the provision of services) that are fulfilled over time, are recognized based on the degree of fulfillment of the contractual obligations.
When, at a given date, it is not possible to reasonably measure the degree of fulfillment of the obligation, only revenue and the corresponding consideration are recognized in an amount equivalent to the costs incurred up to that date.
Interest income and expense are recognized using the effective interest rate method.
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. Where dividends unequivocally come from reserves generated before the acquisition, the value of the investment will be adjusted.
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.

It will be partially settled in cash and through the delivery of MAPFRE S.A. shares. and is subject to reduction or recovery clauses as well as retention periods of the shares.
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.
Share-Based Remuneration Plan
In 2021, MAPFRE launched a MAPFRE S.A. Share-Based Remuneration Plan for employees in Spain with the aim of strengthening their ties to the Company's strategy and future earnings. This Plan involved voluntarily allocating an annual amount of remuneration to the purchase of MAPFRE S.A. shares, which were delivered on a monthly basis over the course of 2022. Additionally, the shares held by the participant until March 31, 2023 will entitle them to receive additional shares free of charge.
In 2022, a new MAPFRE S.A. Share-Based Remuneration Plan was launched for employees in Spain, which was implemented over the course of 2023. This plan does not include the issuing of additional shares free of charge.
Likewise, in 2023 a Remuneration Plan for MAPFRE S.A. shares was launched for employees in Spain, which will be implemented in 2024. This Plan does not include the delivery of additional shares free of charge.
The transactions derived from each plan are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments assigned at the date of the concession agreement.
On a monthly basis, during the share delivery period, the Company cancels the treasury stock issued, recording the difference with respect to the value of the shares issued in voluntary reserves.
Where appropriate, during the holding period, an increase in equity is recorded for the additional shares to be issued.
At the end of the holding period, the difference with the value of the treasury stock issued free of charge is recorded in voluntary reserves.
i) Business combinations
Business combinations in which the Company acquires control of one or more businesses are recorded by the acquisition method, except when the acquired equity elements do not constitute a business in which the transaction is recorded as an acquisition of assets or assumption of liabilities.
The acquisition date is the date on which the Company secures control of the acquired business. The cost to the acquiring company of a business combination is the fair value of the assets delivered, of the equity instruments issued, of the liabilities incurred or assumed on the date of exchange, as well as those of any other additional consideration plus the costs directly attributable to the combination except those disbursements paid to the professionals involved in the operation. Acquisition related costs are recognized as expenses as they are incurred.
When the valuation process necessary to apply the acquisition method cannot be completed by the close of the fiscal year, the annual accounts are prepared using provisional data. These values are adjusted in the period necessary to complete the initial accounting, with such period not exceeding one year from the acquisition date.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the business combination over the value of the identifiable assets acquired less the value of the liabilities assumed, applying the criteria relating to intangible fixed assets for valuation.
In the case of business combinations between group companies, the constituent elements of the acquired business are valued at the amount that would have been applied in the preparation of the consolidated annual accounts. The difference revealed in the accounting record due to the application of said criterion is recorded as a reserves item.
j) 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.

Fair value
The process for the valuation of financial assets is as follows:
- a. At the time of acquisition, the portfolio to which it is assigned is decided (assets at fair value with changes in gains or losses, financial assets at amortized cost, financial assets at cost, or financial assets at fair value with changes in equity), depending on the characteristics and the business model.
- b. Depending on the accounting status of the portfolios, they are valued against the market using the valuation methods described in Note 4c "Financial instruments" (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3).
The assessment policy is decided at the time of acquisition and reviewed annually.
With regard to the sensitivity of fair value assessments, 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:
-
- If the quotation source for a particular asset is no longer representative, it is transferred from Level 1 to Level 2.
-
- Assets are transferred from Levels 2 and 3 to Level 1 if a reasonable quotation source is verified.
-
- Assets are transferred to Level 3 when some of the significant variables are not based on observable market data.

Dividends and other income accrued from financing granted to investee companies are part of the concept "Net business figure amount", as established in Note 4.f.
Group and associate companies
Appendix 1 of the annual report contains details of the Group companies and associates in which direct equity investments have been held in the last two fiscal years.
The results of the companies included in the aforementioned appendix are all ongoing operations.
In compliance with Article 155 of the Recast Text of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Act, the corresponding notifications were made, when applicable, to investee companies.
The main operations undertaken in the last two fiscal years with Group companies and associates are described in Note 19 of this annual report.
With effect from January 1, 2023, a first reduction in the share capital of MAPFRE ASISTENCIA was effectuated in forgiveness of outstanding contributions in the amount of 19,999 thousand euros. Subsequently, on June 27, 2023, there was a second reduction of share capital for the return of contributions through the amortization of shareholdings in said Company for an amount of 10,332,000 euros, as detailed in note 19 of this report.
On November 3, 2022, in order to restructure the Group's operating areas, MAPFRE S.A. (absorbing company) absorbed MAPFRE PARTICIPACIONES S.A. and MAPFRE AM INVESTMENT HOLDING S.A.U. (absorbed companies), with the merger taking effect retroactively from January 1, 2022.
The effect of this transaction, given that it comprises a transaction between Group companies, was an increase in reserves amounting to 396,424,000 euros (see Note 17).
On December 1, 2022, MAPFRE S.A. purchased a total of 512,499 shares in MAPFRE TECH - 103,300 shares held by MAPFRE INTERNACIONAL, 8,101 shares held by MAPFRE ASISTENCIA, 336,538 shares held by MAPFRE ESPAÑA, 82 shares held by MAPFRE INVERSIÓN, 4,133 shares held by MAPFRE RE, and 60,345 shares held by MAPFRE VIDA - for a combined price of 20,146,000 euros, or 39.39 euros per share, giving MAPFRE S.A. 100 percent ownership of the company.
The MEAG EUROPE OFFICE and MAPFRE PRIVATE DEBT funds, consolidated using the global integration method, are included in fiscal year 2023 under the heading "Group companies and long-term associates."
The minority shareholders of the Group subsidiary MAPFRE RE have a put option on their shares in that Company. If exercised, MAPFRE or a MAPFRE Group company must acquire the shares of the minority shareholder interested in selling. The purchase price of the shares is to be calculated by applying the previously agreed formulas in each case. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, taking into account the variables included in the aforementioned formula, the commitment assumed by the Group in the event the option is exercised would amount to approximately 128.9 million and 109.6 million euros, respectively.
At December 31, 2023, the Company's working capital was negative in the amount of 26,948,000 (positive working capital in 2022 in the amount of 42,473,000), mainly due to the financing received from Group companies, although the financing of its liabilities and liquidity needs is guaranteed through the financial support it receives from the Group itself, from the dividends it is expected to receive in 2024, as well as the limits available for various lines of credit.
Financial instrument risk

Increases and decreases corresponding to the last two fiscal years:
The amount of increases for permanent differences originating in the income statement corresponds to expenses that are not tax deductible, among others, for fines and penalties, for donations and contributions made to support programs for events of exceptional public interest pursuant to Law 49/2002, for the corrections in the value of equity instruments (holdings in Group and associate companies) recorded in the accounts.
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 and with the accounting recovery of the value adjustments of equity instruments that were not deductible at the time of provisioning.
Increases due to temporary differences originating in the fiscal year on the income statement primarily correspond to pension commitments and other obligations acquired towards the staff and other provisions for expenses not considered tax deductible in the fiscal period concerned.
Decreases due to temporary differences originating in previous fiscal years on the income statement primarily relate to: the recovery of adjustments for pension commitments, the application of provisions for other personnel obligations, for cost provisions that were not deductible in the fiscal year they were recorded; and the recovery of a tenth of the amortization and depreciation of intangible fixed assets and plant, property and equipment that were not deducted in the 2013 and 2014 fiscal years.

In fiscal year 2022, an adjustment of deferred tax assets relating to the equity instruments of Group companies totaling 13 million euros was recorded in reserves, due mainly to the impairment of the holding of MAPFRE INMUEBLES registered in previous years, which was reclassified as a permanent difference.
In fiscal year 2023, the Tax Group must determine its tax base taking into account the individual positive tax bases and 50 percent of the individual negative tax bases of the companies belonging to the Tax Group.
As a result, the negative tax base generated by the company can only be offset by 50 percent by the Tax Group, with an amount pending to be offset of 70,849,000 euros that has generated a deferred tax asset. These individual negative tax bases not included in the Group's tax base in fiscal year 2023 will be integrated equally over the next 10 years.
Likewise, the detail of movements for the financial year 2023 and 2022 relating to deferred tax liabilities heading is broken down in the accompanying table, differentiating the amount of the same relative to items charged and paid directly against net equity during the respective periods.

The adjustment for the integration of the provisions for pension commitments, with the limit of 25 percent of the previous tax base regulated in Article 11.12 of Law 27/2014, to be applied to the consolidated tax base in 2023, was 547,402 euros (237,899 euros in 2022).
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 the limitation period of four years has elapsed.
With regard to the Inspection Activities for Corporate Tax, fiscal years 2013 to 2016, referring to Tax Consolidation Group no. 9/85, notices of disagreement were signed that affected MAPFRE S.A. as an individual company with regard to the deductibility of certain personnel expenses and the deduction for technological innovation expenses. Settlements arising from such proceedings were appealed to the Central Economic Administrative Court (Tribunal Económico Administrativo Central (TEAC)), which rejected the economicadministrative claim filed by the Company. In response to this rejection, a contentiousadministrative appeal was filed, and a written claim has been formulated with the National Court.
MAPFRE S.A. considered that, in accordance with the criteria expressed by internal tax advisers, the regularizations applied had no significant impact on the individual annual accounts, with strong defense arguments in the pending appeals, which is why no specific provision was recorded for these items.
In fiscal year 2022, MAPFRE SA, as the controlling company of Tax Group no. 9/85, and in order to limit the financial cost of suspending the reports derived from the Inspection Activities of fiscal years 2013 to 2016, the tax debt of the corporate tax disagreement certificates for fiscal years 2013 to 2015 was remitted, together with the deferred interest. To the extent that there are solid defense arguments in the ongoing legal proceedings, the Company proceeded to record a credit against the Public Treasury in the amount of 110 million euros. Simultaneously, MAPFRE S.A. recognized a debit against the subsidiaries of the Tax Group to which the concepts signed in non-conformity correspond for an amount of 106 million euros, with the difference corresponding to the dissenting items that affect MAPFRE S.A as an individual entity.
During fiscal year 2022, Tax Group 9/85 called for the correction of its Corporate Taxes for fiscal years 2017 to 2019 in relation to the recovery of certain adjustments derived from the minutes of fiscal years 2013 to 2016 and to request recognition of the elimination of double taxation in relation to certain equity investments that were considered qualifying holdings at the tax group level, requesting the recognition of a return of 61 million euros that has been recorded as a credit against the Treasury. At the same time, a debit of the same amount has been recorded against the Group's subsidiaries that are individually affected by the aforementioned rectification.
Regarding the deduction for technological innovation (IT) expenses, the Constitutional Court has admitted appeals against four rulings of the National Court that, contradicting its own jurisprudence in this matter, accepted the arguments of the Tax Inspection to defend its jurisdiction to delimit the scope of the deduction, and the consideration that software is not a concept covered by the deduction for IT expenses provided for in the Corporate Tax Law. Specifically, the Constitutional Court will rule on the validity of the reports prepared by the Tax Administration to regularize the IT deduction, and their ability to contradict the binding reports issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology, under whose protection taxpayers have been applying the deduction, there being well-founded reasons to expect that the criteria maintained by the MAPFRE Tax Group will be validated by the Constitutional Court, revoking the aforementioned rulings of the National Court.
The Tax Group has appealed the proceedings initiated, among other reasons, for the regularization of this deduction, which in the case of MAPFRE S.A. as an individual entity amounts to 84,000 euros (fiscal years 2013 to 2016). Additionally, the deduction applied by the company in the years 2017 to 2022 was 3,451,000 euros, and the one generated in the year 2023 was 536,000 euros.
As of December 31, 2023, the company is open to inspection for all taxes to which it is subject for the fiscal years 2020 to 2023 inclusive and the Corporation Tax for the years 2017 to 2019. In the opinion of the Company's advisors, the possibility of tax liabilities occurring that significantly affect the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023 is remote.
On January 18, 2024, the Constitutional Court handed down a judgment declaring the unconstitutionality of certain measures that were introduced into the Corporate Tax by Royal Decree-Law 3/2016, of December 2 (RDL 3/2016), on the grounds that the regulatory vehicle used for its approval was inadequate.
Of the measures declared unconstitutional, Tax Group 9/85 was only affected by the obligation to include in the tax base, in five equal amounts, from fiscal year 2016, any impairment of tax-deductible shares applicable up to fiscal year 2012. Now that the measure has been declared unconstitutional, its invalidity will have an initial favorable impact on the Group in the amount of 19 million euros, which will be recovered from the Treasury, although this amount is not definitive, as quantification of the impact that the regulations in force prior to the approval of RDL 3/2016 may have on the recovery of impairment of participants in fiscal years 2021 to 2023 is pending.
With regard to the non-deductibility of losses in the transfer of shares, also approved by the same RDL 3/2016, and which also affects the Tax Group, the Constitutional Court has postponed its decision to the time when it has to make a decision in relation to a resource proposed for the specific application of this measure. This future judgment will have a favorable impact for the Tax Group, the final amount of which is pending quantification.
The minimum global taxation (Pillar 2) regulations of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have been approved or substantially approved in certain jurisdictions in which the Group has a presence. To the extent that the entry into force will take place in 2024, the Group has conducted a preliminary assessment of the exposure to Pillar 2 taxes arising from this legislation, concluding that the effective tax rate in all countries in which the MAPFRE Group operates is above 15%, although two jurisdictions - Peru and Paraguay - have been detected where this percentage would not be reached. However, beyond the increased administrative burden of applying the new regulations, no significant economic impact is expected for the Group due to the entry into force of the regulation.

J. Research, development and innovation
INNOVATION
Innovation is an integral part of MAPFRE's strategy, business model, and culture, making it possible to develop new products and solutions that are aligned with customer needs and respond to new market trends and environmental and social aspects.
MAPFRE Open Innovation is MAPFRE's strategic commitment to boost client-centered transformation. With it, the company aims to foster innovation carried out by and for people. Designed as an open innovation platform, MAPFRE Open Innovation forms partnerships with other actors and uses emerging technologies. For MAPFRE Open Innovation, adding value to MAPFRE is as important as contributing to the progress toward a more prosperous, just, and egalitarian society. Since 2019, more than three million clients have benefited from solutions originating from this model, in terms of both insurance operations (contracting or benefits) and relational and aspirational aspects, addressing major social issues. In addition, proposals have been analyzed from more than 2,500 startups, of which more than 50 have gone through our acceleration and adoption programs, which has consolidated our relationship with entrepreneurs in the insurance industry and our role as a benchmark for the insurtech environment.
MAPFRE has managed to attract the best projects in their class, signing agreements with some of the most valued startups and the top insurtech solutions in the market. As part of our commitment to venture capital investment associated with the insurance industry, MAPFRE participates as the main investor in the venture capital fund Alma Mundi Insurtech, managed by Mundi Ventures. Fund I, with 100 million euros, has already entered the divestment phase. Fund II, which initially closed at 172 million euros with a projected size of 250 million euros, was launched in early 2022 and has already made 17 investments. It is considered one of the largest insurtech mutual funds in Europe.
In 2023, more focus and resources began to be placed on growth initiatives, i.e. opportunities that could represent a significant part of the insurance business in the future. This is how we address verticals that have gained importance in recent years, such as health and well-being or new mobility, but also emerging risks, such as those associated with climate change, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, which we must know how to properly assess in order to offer the best protection to our customers. At the same time, this year we have continued to work on transformation initiatives that promote efficient operations and an improved user experience, automating processes such as claims processing, image appraisal, and document and image management. In this area, progress was made in scaling up the most mature solutions to MAPFRE countries and in achieving the first deployment of the most pioneering solutions.
As for Artificial Intelligence (AI), on which there are numerous and increasingly frequent studies addressing its impact on the world economy, its growing use in all sectors is an undisputed fact. Although AI has great potential to improve process efficiency and enable new options, its use is not without risks. Greater use means greater potential exposure to technical risks (performance and robustness, security), ethical risks (biases, explainability), and regulatory risks (compliance and responsibility). In addition, the launch of Generative Artificial Intelligence tools accessible to all types of profiles has heightened the debate, including aspects related to intellectual property and the sustainability of solutions.
MAPFRE has more than 85 Artificial Intelligence/ Advanced Analytics, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning use cases underway, and 70% of the models are focused on issuing and benefits in the Automobile business line. During 2023, six cases for Generative Artificial Intelligence were developed and launched.
More information on this subject is available in the Integrated Report / 5.5. Innovation and digitalization in products and services and processes.
QUALITY
For MAPFRE, the quality perceived by its customers and other stakeholders is a fundamental concern. For this reason, since 2015, global models have been defined to enable us to understand the experience of different types of customers.
63 Individual Management Report 2023
These measurements are taken through surveys of internal and external clients in all the countries and businesses in which MAPFRE operates, covering the insurance, reinsurance, global risks and assistance services lines. They are based on the Net Promoter Score (NPS® ) methodology, which measures customer perception through their likelihood of recommending the company to their friends or family members. This indicator also allows us to measure the customer's objective perception of the company and their willingness to renew, recommend, and cross-sell.
The first customer experience measurement model to be defined was relational NPS® , which measures the level of perception of a representative sample of MAPFRE's customers and its main competitors in each country and line of business.
In 2023, a relational NPS® measurement wave was carried out again, involving a representative sample of MAPFRE's portfolios. This wave, with more than 75,000 respondents, covered 18 countries and lines of business and a total of 88 companies were analyzed around the world.
To complement these measurements of relational NPS® , the Quality Observatory defined a Global Model for transactional NPS® , which eables MAPFRE to know a client's perception in real time after interacting with us.
When analyzing the results of the measurements in the relational and transactional NPS® programs, the distributor client has been observed to play an important role in the end client's experience. Therefore, it is essential to determine this group's perception of MAPFRE. To meet this objective, in 2022 the Global Distributor Client Relational NPS® model was defined and in 2023 the broker's experience with MAPFRE and its competitors was measured. In 2023 the broker's experience with MAPFRE and its competitors was measured in Brazil, Spain, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. In particular, the perception of the brokers who collaborate with MAPFRE was assessed in aspects such as their relationship with the company, the levers of success, support and advice given by the company in the sale of policies and how the policy was used by the end client.
MAPFRE has more than 260 people assigned to quality control and monitoring throughout the world, and several Group companies hold quality certifications. To renew these certifications, these companies must maintain high customer service standards.
ISO 9001 certification is held by companies operating in Spain and Turkey, while MAWDY holds the same quality standard in Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Italy, Mexico, Dominican Republic and Uruguay.
K. Environmental, social and governance factors and risks
MAPFRE constantly analyzes factors that, should they arise, can or could have an impact on its business (referring to investment and underwriting). This analysis considers environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, as these enable additional information to be gathered on social movements and transformations, and the expectations of stakeholders and the market that affect the organization.
Likewise, as a global insurance company, MAPFRE has an important role to play in helping society by identifying sustainable development opportunities for the insurance business and offering its customers products and services that assist in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
A proper analysis of ESG factors, and how they might affect the business in the short, medium and long term, shows their relationship to the company and possible inclusion in the list of risks drawn up by the company and in the adoption of prevention and mitigation measures.
With the aim of complying with the environmental commitments included in the Environment Policy and meeting the Group's public objective of carbon neutrality by 2030, the Corporate Environmental Footprint Plan 2021-2030 was drawn up to articulate the reduction and offsetting of our environmental footprint in the countries the Company operates in.
During 2023, progress was made in the development of the different strategic projects included in said Plan. In line with the defined objectives, the 2023 carbon footprint of the MAPFRE companies located in Spain and Portugal has been offset for yet another year.
Within the context of the Corporate Environmental Footprint Plan, the Group has established the following objectives:
2024 objectives:
- a. To reduce the Group's operational carbon footprint by 19% compared to the 2019 baseline.
- b. To offset MAPFRE's carbon footprint in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, the United States, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Germany, Italy and Turkey.
Objectives to 2030:
- a. To reduce the Group's operational carbon footprint by 50% compared to the 2019 baseline.
- b. To offset the remaining carbon footprint for the entire Group.
These lines of action define the Group's roadmap in the fight against climate change.
In line with its commitment to the United Nations 2030 Agenda, in 2023 MAPFRE measured the impact of the balance sheet portfolios on the Sustainable Development Goals, using the methodology developed in 2019 with the University of Siena. Work continues to expand the methodology and integrate it with the rest of the tools used in investing under ESG criteria.
L. Other risks and uncertainties
Material risks
In the analysis of the main risks faced by the Group during the period covered by the business plan, inflation stands out. Although the risk of inflation and premium insufficiency has been reduced compared to high uncertainty at the beginning of the year, this risk remains high due to factors such as uncertainty about the cost of inflation in new coverage (such as electric vehicles or solar panels), the component of social inflation, or the increase in the cost of reinsurance protection.
Cybersecurity also stands out as a material risk. The continuous increase in the volume and sophistication of malicious cybernetic activity to which MAPFRE is exposed when conducting business in a digital or cyber environment poses a high operational risk, requiring the company to constantly update and reinforce its cybersecurity measures. The main concern lies in the greater complexity of cyberattacks and the possible use of artificial intelligence. The materialization of the risk could affect business continuity, leading to the theft of sensitive data, which could have a negative impact on reputation.
Emerging risks
The Group also analyzes risks with a significant potential impact that could affect the longer-term (5-10 years).
The risk deriving from climate change stands out as a material and emerging risk. Its impact is analyzed from the following perspectives:
The following aspects are established as part of the objectives of the Sustainability Plan2022-2024 :
- The qualification of 90% of the investment portfolio in line with ESG criteria globally by 2024.
- The reduction of emissions from MAPFRE AM's investment portfolio by 10% by the end of 2024 (2019 baseline on the relative indicator: MTCO2eq/€million).
Furthermore, as part of the commitment to be a net zero company by2050, MAPFRE has adhered to the Net-Zero Asset Owners Alliance, defining intermediate objectives to align our portfolios with the 1.5⁰C scenario.
- a. Physical risks: The severity and frequency of extreme weather phenomena are increasing in the countries in which MAPFRE operates, with events such as flooding, fires, hurricanes, torrential rains, heat waves, extreme droughts, etc. These events are increasing the loss ratios of insurance companies, which must revise their risk models in this context and adapt them to cope with the effects of these phenomena. Longer-term changes in weather patterns are expected, such as rising sea levels or constant heat waves.
- b. Transition risks: There is great uncertainty about the potential impact of government measures and regulations geared towards decarbonizing the economy. These measures promote changes in consumer habits; for example, encouraging modified forms of mobility (e.g. in Spain, the Climate Change and Energy Transition Act should alter the use of private vehicles to boost green mobility) and discouraging the purchase of goods, services and assets considered unsustainable (e.g., in Europe, the EU Taxonomy Regulation includes a classification of economic activities considered to be environmentally sustainable). These measures aim to reduce demand for a large number of existing products and services, which will cause the impairment of assets that are not considered sustainable.
The raft of sustainability regulations, marked by significant fragmentation, extensive ambiguity and disparate criteria in the different regulatory provisions, generates uncertainty in insurance companies as to the continuity and management of their existing product and service portfolios, as well as the assets that will be considered unsustainable and the impact that such treatment may have on their valuation.

Furthermore, the way insurance companies manage threats derived from the main climaterelated events may affect their reputation. Climate change risk management essentially focuses on increasing our understanding of the greater catastrophic hazards derived from climate change and improving our management of exposures through:
- a. The integration of climate change into decision-making for our sales strategy.
- b. Detailed knowledge of the insured risks (such as their geolocation and the characteristics of their assets), in order to provide appropriate coverage and catastrophic protection.
- c. Suitable accumulation control and management to optimize the use of capital.
- d. Maximum collaboration and transparency between the insured party and the insurer to guarantee the best assessment and pricing.
- e. The provision of reinsurance coverage.
The second emerging risk with a potentially significant impact on the Group concerns the challenge of adapting products and services to changes in the environment, society and the markets in which it operates. The speed of changes and new demands for insurance coverage from customers, who are increasingly aware of sustainable products and new ways of operating with companies, require products and services to be constantly adapted; unless this is done properly, it could lead to a loss of competitiveness. Furthermore, due to behavioral shifts in the population toward digital environments, it could mean that MAPFRE's strength in its distribution network cannot be fully leveraged.
To manage this risk in the Group, a broad set of initiatives have been established, the aim of which is to ensure that processes are client-oriented, this being achieved through the continuous adaptation of a fully client-centered technical and operational management approach.
Another emerging risk identified is that of financial instability and crises due to conflicts and scarcity of resources.
Recently, there has been an increase in geopolitical risk. Examples of this include the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the conflict between Israel and Palestine, and China's growing economic and political influence. In addition, the sharp rise in cyberattacks in recent years must be taken into account.
The COVID-19 pandemic, the aforementioned Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the sanctions and economic impacts, together with resource scarcity caused by climate change, could have geopolitical implications, encouraging states to adopt more nationalistic policies, initiate new conflicts or aggravate existing ones. The current situation of high inflation, together with restrictive measures by monetary authorities, could accelerate the increase in political instability and social unrest, reducing people's purchasing power with the consequent contraction in demand for insurance products.
Geopolitical tensions in geographic areas where MAPFRE operates could affect the Group's results through different channels. On the one hand, markets under pressure could be exposed to greater financial volatility, affecting investments in which obligations to insured parties materialize. In addition, the currency of an affected country could be devalued, impacting the valuation of assets and liabilities in that currency and consequently its equity, operating results, and cash flow.
Furthermore, a decrease in economic activity in an affected area could also affect demand for insurance activity in the country, causing a decrease in expected profits.
MAPFRE attempts to identify aspects that could affect the Group socially and politically, as well as to monitor the main macroeconomic and financial variables, with special emphasis on their impact on the insurance industry and the Group's financial strength.
The Group is reasonably protected against the risks described above by maintaining a strategic line based on:
- a. Technical rigor in risk underwriting and claims management, and keeping the cost level below the market average.
- b. A conservative investment management policy that applies sustainability criteria to generate a positive impact on the environment and society.
- c. Maintenance of a reasonable level of indebtedness and liquid assets, which mitigates possible liquidity and debt refinancing problems under adverse conditions.
- d. Continuous analysis of client needs and flexible processes to adapt the supply of products and services to demand.

In turn, the Group and its component companies are subject to the risk-based management requirements established in Solvency II regulations. This regulation establishes the minimum amount of capital resources that companies must have in order to be authorized to operate, the types of capital resources admissible in accordance with regulations and the available capital. Therefore, maintaining a high solvency ratio in the Group is the main protection measure against the risks it faces.
M. Non-financial information
The information regarding the non-financial information status of the Company is included in the Integrated Report, which is part of the Consolidated Management Report of the MAPFRE Group, the lead entity of which is MAPFRE S.A., and which will be deposited, together with the Consolidated Annual Accounts, in the Mercantile Registry of Madrid.
N. Significant events for the Company after the fiscal yearend
There were no significant events subsequent to the close of the fiscal year.
O. Outlook
The resurgence of tensions in the Middle East, with the Gaza-Israel conflict, marked the second half of 2023. This situation is keeping that region and the West on high alert, particularly due to a potential escalation of the conflict. Meanwhile, there is still no solution to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, but there has been a clear reduction in terms of both military efforts and financial backing, which could lead Ukraine and NATO to propose sitting down at the negotiating table. In any case, this environment is a reminder that geopolitical tensions may have significant implications for the global economic context, as they influence supply risk in energy and commodity markets, and consequently price dynamics.
In the energy markets, oil prices fell sharply from late September (when they surpassed USD 100/ barrel) to USD 77/barrel at the end of the year. However, the outbreak of war in the Gaza strip drove prices up temporarily, before falling off again from mid-October onward, demonstrating that concerns about a global slowdown take precedence over possible supply problems due to the war.
2023 was also a year marked by the bankruptcy of three large banks in the United States (Silicon Valley Bank, First Republic, and Signature). This followed a loss in value of investment portfolios due to the rise in interest rates. To prevent the problem from spreading to other banks, the Federal Reserve launched a liquidity line (BTFP - Bank Term Funding Program) consisting of buying bonds at book value to prevent banks from having to sell securities on the market at a loss. At the time of the last quarterly report by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the aggregate banking sector had accumulated unrealized losses of nearly 560 billion dollars. The BTFP was created as a temporary source of aid and will expire on March 11, 2024, unless extended by the Federal Reserve.
Meanwhile, in the area of economic activity, the markets and analysts are trying to determine whether the desired soft landing will be ultimately achieved, both in the United States and in the eurozone, or whether, on the contrary, the risk of a tougher recession persists.
Until now, the inversion of the interest rate curve has been a true indicator for predicting recessions. In the current environment, however, it remains to be seen whether the indicator will fail this time, or whether the recession has simply been postponed due to the investment packages and tax aid activated in both Europe and the United States. In addition, these aid packages, together with the increase in defense expenses, place the focus on increasing debt levels. In this regard, some central banks have drawn attention to the fact that governments should also make efforts to redirect expenditures, an important factor in order to be aligned in controlling inflation.
Currently, government spending levels are very high for several reasons: i) the forced closure of economies as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; ii) aid to offset the effects of inflation; iii) investments in energy transition; iv) population aging and pension spending; v) war financing and increased defense spending. This high spending is leading to worrisome increases in debt, which in turn are aggravated by the increase in interest they must pay. Thus, the benchmark interest rate for 10-year US Treasury bonds reached 5% in October, with the Italian one also reaching 5% and Spanish one exceeding 4%; these were the highest levels in a decade.
If interest rates remain high for several years, they will impact renewals and therefore significantly increase spending on public debt interest, casting doubt on the medium-term sustainability of the debt. In August, Fitch Ratings cut its rating on U.S. debt to AA+, the same rating assigned to it by S&P.
Inflation levels eased throughout 2023 but rebounded again in the final stretch of the year. This was influenced by the base effects, the end of some aid relief programs, and the fact that fiscal deficits remain high. Likewise, salary reviews will cause inflation to consolidate at new levels due to second-round effects (defense of purchasing power).
The central banks of the United States and the eurozone appear to have paused their interest rate hikes, insofar as the tightening of financial conditions is already being seen in the economy, and inflation has largely (although not entirely) subsided. Meanwhile, central banks are attempting to reduce their balance sheets, mainly via non-reinvestment in maturing bonds, to ensure a smooth transition toward monetary normalization.
The transmission of monetary policy to credit conditions is strong. In this regard, 20-30% reductions in mortgage approvals are being observed across the eurozone. Furthermore, the monetary base has been visibly shrinking in the eurozone since the end of 2022, and the same phenomenon has been observed in the United States since the first quarter of 2021.
Looking ahead to 2024, unless risks materialize, a soft landing would be expected in both the United States and the eurozone. However, the level of uncertainty has never been so high. Two major conflicts are underway, and the Middle East conflict could destabilize the entire region while impacting energy markets. Also, there is a historic tightening of financial conditions at a time when government debt levels are quite high, and instead of prospects for reduction, there are several factors driving their increase (higher defense spending, energy transition, increase in pension expenses, and the cost of debt itself).
Credit and investment, which are components of aggregate demand, are being strongly affected by this financial tightening process, suggesting that activity will slow down. Private investment is therefore expected to moderate, and inventory adjustments in companies are anticipated. In the same vein, financial conditions are also tightening in the mortgage market, as the effects of interest rate hikes act at the pace of debt maturities and mortgage installment renewals.
In the United States, the real estate sector in general, and the commercial and office sector in particular, must be monitored insofar as there are indicators of a sharp slowdown. We must also pay close attention to the end of the BTFP liquidity assistance in March 2024, as well as automobile and student loans.
In Germany, Europe's industrial muscle appears to be weakening, and this is not only due to rising energy costs. Industrial production has been falling for five years, affected by a broader process of industrial relocation.
In China, significant risks remain in the real estate markets and in the region's debt, with implications for the financial sector. The Chinese government continues to activate stimulus packages to keep the economy moving.
Finally, vigilance must be maintained for any challenges that may arise in the Eurobond market (i.e. the entire USD fixed income market outside the United States). According to analysts, there are 21 emerging countries whose dollar debts are greatly increasing their spreads (above what interest rates have already risen in the United States), which is also exacerbated by the appreciation of the dollar.
