MAPFRE EARNS 155 MILLION EUROS IN THE FIRST QUARTER,

PREMIUMS GROW BY 10.9 PERCENT TO 6.54 BILLION

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE QUARTER

  • The Group's revenue in the first three months of the year amounts to 7.56 billion euros.

  • After falling for two years due to the pandemic, premiums reach 6.54 billion euros, their highest volume in five years.

  • Premiums grow significantly in all regional areas with the exception of EURASIA.

  • Geographic and business diversification offsets the post-pandemic claims deviations. The General Property & Casualty (P&C) combined ratio stands at 92.6 percent.

  • Iberia continues to be the region that contributes most premiums and earnings to the Group.

  • MAPFRE RE's premiums grow by 17.4 percent and profits rise by more than 12 percent.

  • COVID-related claims drop to less than half the level they were at a year ago and remain concentrated in LATAM.

  • The final dividend will be paid on May 31. The 2021 dividend has already returned to pre-pandemic levels.

MAPFRE's premiums in the first three months of 2022 grew by 10.9 percent, reaching 6.54 billion euros with significant increases in all key markets and operations. Premium volume marks an important turning point in the company's return to the path of growth: reaching its highest level in the last five years and reversing the downward trend observed in 2020 and 2021, when it was impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. The Group's revenue for January to March 2022 amounted to 7.57 billion euros, up 3.6 percent compared to the first quarter of the previous fiscal year. Most countries delivered solid growth, in both euros and local currency, due to the positive performance of nearly all currencies.

MAPFRE ended the first quarter with earnings of 155 million euros (-10.9 percent), driven by the Iberia regional area, which continues as the strongest contributor to Group earnings, and the positive contribution rate of MAPFRE RE.

The geographic and business diversification strategy is reflected in the quarter's evolution, with significant premium revenue growth in the relevant lines, boosting the strength and resilience of the Group.

In the first quarter of 2022, despite the Omicron variant, COVID-19 claims fell due to the improvement in vaccination levels. The change in these claims over the past five quarters is shown in the accompanying table.

Although they are declining, these pandemic-related claims still amount to nearly 46 million euros. The majority of this amount, which has fallen 58 percent compared to the first quarter of 2021, is concentrated in LATAM, and accounts for nearly 32 million euros of the total. The breakdown of this impact by region and business unit is shown in the accompanying table.

Figures in millions of euros

As a result of this reduction in COVID claims, Life earnings were practically double that reported in the same period of the previous year.

The combined ratio stood at 98 percent at the end of March, up 3.7 percentage points, due to broad-based growth in the loss ratio in the Automobile and Health business lines, which can be attributed to both the higher frequency of claims deriving from increased mobility and the rise in the average cost due to inflationary pressures, aggravated by the war in Ukraine.

On the positive side, MAPFRE's geographic and business diversification protects the company against these deviations. Other lines of business, such as General P&C, have performed very favorably, with a combined ratio of 92.6 percent.

Iberia

In the Iberia Regional Area (Spain and Portugal), premiums increased by 2.3

percent to 2.54 billion euros. Earnings for this regional area stood at 102 million euros, a 5.6 percent decrease compared to the same period last year, due to the exit from Bankia Vida. Excluding this effect, the regional area's net earnings would have grown by 5.5 percent.
