MAPFRE recorded revenue for the first nine months of the year of €20.9bn, a year-on-year increase of 1.8%, while premiums totalled €17.1bn, a 1.3% decrease.
Earnings before taxes and non-controlling interests grew by 15.5% to €1.3bn, and net profits were €572m, 3.3% lower than the equivalent figure for the first nine months of 2015.

MAPFRE’s combined ratio improved by 1.5% to 97.2%, with ‘excellent’ combined ratios in MAPFRE Spain (93.4%), MAPFRE Brazil (94.7%) and the north eastern region of the US, which accounts for 74% of the country’s premiums (95.2%).
