MILLION EUROS

  • The over 20% increase in revenue consolidated the trends from recent quarters and reflects both a relevant increase in business volume as well as an improvement in financial income.
  • Premiums grew 19%, with no relevant impact from exchange rates (at constant rates, premiums are up 18%). This growth reflects a general improvement in business, with a 10.3% increase in Non-Life and a 59.5% increase in Life, mainly due to performance in Spain and Brazil.
  • Regarding Non-Life, premiums are up over €550 million in the first quarter, with 12.6% in Accident & Health, 10.6% growth in General P&C and 7.1% in Auto. The combined ratio stands at 98.5% (+0.4 p.p.) and the volatility and dispersion from previous quarters marked by the economic scenario remain. General P&C, with a combined ratio of 87.3% (-5.3 p.p.), has compensated the high loss experience that persists in the Auto business, with a combined ratio of 106.3% (+2.5 p.p.). Tariff increases and improved management carried out in the latter line in order to compensate inflation will gradually translate into improvements in the combined ratio. Accident & Health shows a slight improvement in
    the combined ratio compared to the first quarter of the previous year, reaching 101.8% (-0.4 p.p.). The Non-Life financial result has reached €150 million, increasing 20%.
  • In the Life business, premiums are up almost€700 million, driven by the Life Savings business in Spain. The result for this line has benefitted from both good technical performance as well as strong financial income, especially in Latin America. The Life Protection combined ratio stands at 81.6% (-1.3 p.p.). All these factors led to a 95% improvement in the Life net result compared to the previous year.
  • The earthquake in Turkey was the main relevant Nat cat event impacting results, and
    the estimates, which are still subject to a full damage assessment, have a net impact of approximately €77 million, mainly affecting MAPFRE RE (€72 million) and, to a lesser extent, the local insurance company (€5 million). In 2022, the most relevant cat claim for the company was the drought in Brazil, with a €37-million net impact for the Group
    in the first quarter.

PRESS RELEASE

  • Regarding our investment portfolio, there was no relevant change in the asset class structure during the quarter, nor were there any relevant impacts on the result or
    investment valuations as a consequence of the situation with certain financial institutions in the United States and Switzerland. MAPFRE realized €17 million in gains
    in the quarter, after taxes and minorities (21 million in 2022).
  • Regarding the available-for-sale portfolio, €259 million in unrealized gains, net of taxes,
    have been recorded in 2023, improving the capital position of the subsidiaries. The main variations came from IBERIA, with a €92-million increase, followed by MAPFRE RE with €57 million, and NORTH AMERICA with €53 million.
  • Finally, there were no relevant changes in currency conversion differences in the quarter.

PRESS RELEASE

IBERIA is growing above the market both in Life and Non-Life

  • Premiums in Iberia reached over€3.3 billion (+31%), with Spain standing out with nearly
    1. billion (+30%). Premiums in Portugal reached 74 million (+59%).
  • The Life business volume is 2.4 times higher than the previous year, reaching almost€1.1 billion, of which 965 million correspond to Life Savings (326 million in 2022).
  • Non-Lifepremiums grew 7.3% and reflect the positive development of the Accident & Health business (+9%), General P&C (+7.1%), and Auto (+4.9%).
  • In Auto, tariffs continue to be gradually adapted to the inflationary context and based on individual risk profiles. The fleet reached 6,189,213 insured vehicles, with a slight reduction in the fleet in the first quarter related to risk-selection measures, which led to a more than 5% increase in the average premium.
  • The Non-Life result and combined ratio have been affected by the Auto business, with the combined ratio at 106.5% (+6.8 p.p.). This line is affected by the recovery of mobility to pre-pandemic levels; the high inflation scenario and the Baremo update. The improvement in the combined ratio expected during the year will be based on strict cost control, while tariffs on average are expected to increase significantly more than that.
  • General P&C lines and the Life Protection business continue contributing positively to results, with combined ratios of 92.4% and 73.2%, respectively.
  • The financial result continues to improve in a more favorable environment, with a€37.2 million gross contribution to the Non-Life result (€30 million in 2022).
  • The net result reached€67.3 million, of which Spain contributed 64 million and Portugal
    1. million. Of this amount, 11 million corresponds to realized gains (14 million in 2022).

Business in LATAM consolidates the strong trends of recent quarters with close to €2.4 billion in premiums and a result of 94 million, the largest contributor to Group earnings.

Brazil shows strong growth, and its result increased four-fold thanks to improvements in both the technical and financial result

  • In Brazil, premiums reached almost€1.2 billion, up 22%, backed by the favorable development of the Brazilian real, which appreciated 3%. In local currency, premium growth reached 18%. The improvement in written premiums is due, above all, to the positive development of the Agro Insurance and Life Protection business, which grew in euros 44% and 28.5%, respectively.
  • The Auto business grew 8%. This line continues to quickly adapt tariffs to inflation. The fleet reached 1,294,740 insured vehicles, with a slight reduction in the quarter related to risk-selection measures.
  • The combined ratio dropped significantly to 81.6%, due in part to a 15 percentage point improvement in the Auto line after tariff increases. The combined ratio in Auto stands at 106.6% (-14.8 p.p.). Additionally, the Agro business improved its positive development thanks to a benign quarter after the losses in 2022 from the drought, and the General P&C ratio stands at an excellent 72%. The Life Protection business also has a solid combined ratio, standing at 77.8%.
  • The financial result also continues to contribute very positively, with a€23.4-million gross contribution to Non-Life (€19.8 million in 2022).
