INFORME DE GESTIÓN CORRESPONDIENTE AL EJERCICIO 2015 DE GEROA PENTSIOAK E.P.S.V

MANAGEMENT REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015 FOR GEROA PENTSIOAK Voluntary Social Welfare Institution

Estimado Socio/a:

En el año 2015 y fruto del afán por conjugar las nece-sidades de nuestros socios con los objetivos de la Enti-dad, en GEROA hemos procedido a introducir una serie de cambios tanto en nuestra operativa de prestaciones como en la forma de comunicarnos con vosotros.

Tras el análisis de los resultados de las encuestas de satisfacción en los que observábamos que el pago de las prestaciones en forma de renta vitalicia no era del agrado de nuestros socios, hemos pasado a un sistema basado en rentas temporales donde cada socio tiene la certeza de que cobrará todos sus aho-rros. Por ello, hemos modificado nuestros Estatutos y Reglamento de Prestaciones.

Adicionalmente, y de acuerdo con los bajos tipos de interés, hemos adaptado el tipo de interés técnico para calcular los compromisos por pensiones que se tenían a 31/12/2014 pasando al 2,5%, todo ello sin menoscabo para los socios y manteniendo los más altos niveles de solvencia, que a cierre del ejercicio se sitúan en el 41,17%.

GEROA PENTSIOAK lleva realizadas desde su inicio en 1996, 35.855 prestaciones por un importe de casi 333 millones de euros.

Destacable ha sido también la acogida del envío de una carta a aquellos socios mayores de 65 años que no habían solicitado la prestación, ya que de las

Dear Member,

In 2015, as a result of our desire to balance the needs or our members with the goals of the Institution, here at GEROA, we have implemented a series of changes both in our benefits operations and the way we communicate with you.

After analysing the results of the satisfaction surveys in which we observed that a lifetime annuity was not to our members’ liking, we changed to a system based on temporary annuities wherein each member can be certain that he will receive all his savings. We have therefore amended our Statutes and Benefits Regulation.

Additionally, and in accordance with the low interest rates, we have adjusted the technical interest rate to calculate the pension commitments as of 31/12/2014 changing to 2.5%, all without any loss for members, while still maintaining the highest solvency levels, which at the end of the last fiscal year were at 41.17%.

Since its inception in 1996, GEROA PENTSIOAK has granted 35,855 benefits amounting to almost 333 million euros.

The response to a letter sent to members older than 65 years old who still hadn’t requested the benefit was also remarkable. Of the 2,802

2.802 cartas enviadas, 1.019 han cobrado ya sus derechos.

Por otro lado, y de acuerdo con el compromiso de mejorar nuestra comunicación, también en 2015 he-mos actualizado nuestra página web www.geroa.eus, haciéndola más amigable, funcional y adaptada a las nuevas tecnologías, lo que permite su perfecto uso en las diferentes clases de dispositivos.

Sin perder de vista otro de nuestros valores como es el compromiso con la sociedad, hemos estado tra-bajando en la adhesión a los Principios de Inversión Responsable de las Naciones Unidas, lo que conse-guimos en Diciembre, siendo uno de los 10 fondos fi rmantes a nivel del Estado.

En lo que respecta a nuestro compromiso por la me-jora continua, un año más nos ha sido otorgado el certifi cado ISO 9001 demostrando nuestros están-dares de calidad.

El año 2015 acabó con la publicación del Reglamen-to de la Ley 5/2012 de EPSV por lo que durante el 2016 GEROA volverá a modifi car sus Estatutos y Reglamento para adecuarlos a esta nueva normativa.

El 2016 es un año especial para nosotros no sólo por todos estos cambios normativos y organizativos que nos esperan sino porque GEROA cumple ya 20 años ahorrando contigo y pagando complementos de pensiones públicas.

letters sent, 1,019 are already enjoying their rights.

In addition, and in accordance with our commitment to improve our communication, in 2015, we updated our website www.geroa.eus to make it more user-friendly, functional and adapted to the new technologies, so that it can be used on different types of devices.

Without losing sight of other values such as our commitment to society, we have been working on the membership of the Principles for Responsible Investment of the United Nations. This we attained in December, being one of the 10 signatory funds at State level.

To top it off, we were awarded the ISO 9001 certifi cate for yet another year as a testament to our quality standards.

2015 ended wi th the publ icat ion of the Regulations of Law 5/2012 on Voluntary Social Welfare Agencies, for which GEROA will amend its Statutes and Regulations once again in 2016 to adapt them to these new guidelines.

2016 is a very special year for us, not only because of all these regulatory and organisational changes that await us, but also because it has been 20 years now since GEROA fi rst started saving with you and paying supplements to public pensions.

En este sentido se ha propuesto dotar este concepto en 3,04 millones de euros con cargo a los resultados no afectos, de tal manera que se alcancen los 8,39 millones de euros.

En Junio de 2015 la Junta de Gobierno cambió el tipo de interés técnico pasando de un 3,5% al 2,5% lo que supuso dotar la Provisión Matemática 10,5 millones de euros con cargo a resultados.

Los compromisos asumidos para hacer frente a las rentas vitalicias con las nuevas bases técnicas as-cienden a 71,84 millones de euros, habiendo sido valorados por la Universidad del País Vasco.

In this way, it was proposed that this concept be provided with 3.04 million euros from non-affected results, in such a way that 8.39 million euros be accrued.

Lo ocurrido en los mercados financieros durante el año 2015 se podría resumir en un empeoramiento paulatino y generalizado de las condiciones macro-económicas inicialmente previstas. El crecimiento eco-nómico global no se ha cumplido y en el horizonte se divisan problemas motivados por el exceso de ca-pacidad generado tras años de inversión en merca-dos emergentes que necesariamente van a provocar ajustes en activos relacionados con estos países y con materias primas.

El crecimiento ha sido muy desigual entre los diferen-tes países; EE.UU. lo ha liderado, con Europa y Japón algo más rezagados, China creciendo menos que lo que crecía hasta ahora y unos países emergentes que se encuentran en recesión en la mayoría de los casos. Pero incluso en los países con PIB positivo hay que destacar que este crecimiento ha sido muy débil y muy lejos del potencial. La deflación no ha sido aparcada definitivamente en los países desarrollados. Los bancos

What happened in financial markets in 2015 can be summarised as a gradual and generalised w o r sen ing o f t he i n i t i a l l y an t i c i pa ted macroeconomic conditions. Global economic growth has fallen short of expectations, and p r o -blems arising from overcapacity after years of investing in emerging markets—which wi l l inev i tab ly lead to adjustments in the assets related to these countries and to raw materials—can be seen on the horizon.

Growth has been very uneven among the different countries; it has been led by the US, with Europe and Japan slightly lagging behind, China growing much less than it had been growing until now, and some emerging markets going into recession in most cases. But even in those countries with positive GDP, it is worth highlighting that this growth has been very weak and far removed from its potential. Deflation has not yet stopped in developed countries.

centrales, principalmente el Banco Central Europeo, el Banco de Japón y el Banco de Inglaterra en el mundo desarrolla-do, se encuentran totalmente involucrados con las medidas expansivas, además, en el mundo emergente, países como China han empezado a implementarlas. Únicamente la Re-serva Federal americana las ha retirado, pero la posibilidad de subir tipos de manera escalonada se ha desvanecido como consecuencia de la fortaleza del dólar y de la debilidad del crecimiento económico mundial. La inflación no ha lle-gado, ni de lejos, a su nivel objetivo del 2%, motivado por la caída del precio del petróleo.

La crisis generada en los países emergentes amenaza una nueva ola deflacionaria que podría terminar en una guerra de divisas. Las perspectivas para 2016 contemplan un mundo con bajo crecimiento y como consecuencia de ello una baja inflación.

Los bancos centrales van a seguir siendo los principales protagonistas de las medidas expansivas, principalmente en Europa, y por lo tanto los tipos de interés van a permanecer excepcionalmente bajos.

Los mercados financieros comenzaron el año en Europa con la noticia de que, por fin, el Banco Central Europeo después de muchas dudas, se lanzó a implementar un programa de recompra de activos con el fin de estimular la economía y mantener los tipos de interés lo más bajo posible.

Este plan ha estado pivotando durante todo el año e incluso al final de ejercicio se ha ampliado ante la de-bilidad de la economía europea. El plan contempla un aumento de más de 1 billón de euros reales en ex-pansión cuantitativa en diferentes programas de deuda pública y otros activos. En la implementación de este plan se tuvieron en cuenta las reticencias alemanas de proporcionabilidad y compartición de riesgos por parte de los bancos centrales de cada país. Este programa ha creado un efecto cascada en otros países europeos que no tienen al euro como moneda de referencia, de-jando los tipos de interés de toda su curva en negativo. Es de destacar el caso suizo, que tuvo que abandonar el soporte de su divisa y dejarla apreciarse con respecto al Euro.

the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England in the developed world—are fully implementing expansionary policies, and in the developing world, countries such as China have begun to put these into practice as well. Only the US Federal Reserve has moved away from them, but the possibility of gradually raising interest rates has faded away as a result of the strength of the dollar and the weakness of global economic growth. Inflation has not reached—not even close—its target level of 2%, due to the drop in oil prices.

The crisis started in developing countries threatens to spark off a new deflationary spiral which could end up in a currency war. The outlook for 2016 forecasts a world with low growth, and as a result of this, low inflation.

The central banks will continue to play key roles in the expansionary policies—mainly in Europe—and therefore, interest rates will continue to be exceptionally low.

The financial markets started the year in Europe with the news that, at last, the European Central Bank, after much hesitation, had decided to implement an asset purchase programme for the purpose of stimulating the economy and keeping interest rates as low as possible.

This plan was in the pipeline during the entire year and was further expanded at the end of the fiscal year due to the weakness of the European economy. The plan involves an increase of more than 1 billion real euros in quantitative easing among the different public debt programmes and other assets. The implementation of this plan took into account German reticence on proportionality and risk sharing by the central banks of each country. This programme has created a cascading effect on other European countries that do not have the euro as their currency, leaving interest rates in their yield curve negative. The Swiss case is worth mentioning here, as Switzerland decided to forego its currency cap to let it appreciate with respect to the euro.

A principios de año, se celebraron elecciones en Gre-cia con la victoria de Syriza, que, como era de esperar, generaron una crisis institucional importante durante el primer semestre, que se saldó con un referéndum y la dimisión de varios ministros, la celebración de nuevas elecciones y la aceptación de los principales puntos del rescate, ya que de otro modo Grecia se quedaba sin recibir los diversos tramos de ayuda.

En las primeras semanas del año la Unión Europea aumentó en unas décimas las expectativas de creci-miento para 2015 hasta el 1,3%. China redujo sus tipos de interés con objeto de estimular su economía y de generar inflación a costa de deflación en otros paí-ses principalmente europeos. En la reunión de Marzo el Banco Central Europeo mejoró las perspectivas de crecimiento para el conjunto de la Eurozona y la renta-bilidad del bono a 10 años alemán marcó un mínimo del 0,07%.

En la mitad del año hubo elecciones en el Reino Unido, en las que el partido conservador obtuvo una cómoda mayoría absoluta y prometió la celebración de un re-feréndum en 2016 para decidir sobre la permanencia del país en la Unión Europea.

Los riesgos de salida del Reino Unido de la Unión Europea son altos y se está a la espera de negociaciones previas.

Pero lo que verdaderamente marcó el devenir del año y parece que el de 2016, ha sido toda la repercusión del ajuste económico de China. Durante el verano, Chi-na comenzó a implementar medidas de estímulo eco-nómico ante la mayor debilidad de su economía; re-cortó los tipos de interés e inyectó dinero a los bancos. Lo que subyace en el fondo es un problema de ajuste de un modelo que parece agotado y que se ha forjado en grandes inversiones en capital y que ha provocado un exceso de capacidad para un mundo que no crece lo esperado. Este ajuste que las autoridades chinas se han comprometido a realizar, implica una mayor par-ticipación del factor consumo en el PIB en detrimento de la inversión y de la industria. Como consecuencia de todo ello, el ajuste en las materias primas ha sido, y está

At the beginning of the year, elections were held in Greece, with Syriza emerging victorious. As was to be expected, this victory led to a major institutional crisis in the first quarter, resulting in a referendum and the resignation of several ministers, the holding of new elections and the acceptance of the main points of the bailout, as Greece would otherwise have ended up not receiving the other tranches of aid payments.

In the first weeks of the year, the European Union increased the growth forecast for 2015 by a few tenths to 1.3%. China decreased its interest rates with a view to stimulating its economy and creating inflation at the expense of deflation in other mainly European countries. During the mee-ting in March, the European Central Bank improved growth perspectives for the entire eurozone, and the German 10-year bond yield reached an all-time low of 0.07%.

During the middle of the year, elections were held in the United Kingdom, in which the conservative party secured a comfortable absolute majority and promised to hold a referendum in 2016 to decide on the country’s permanence in the European Union.

The chances are high that the United Kingdom will leave the European Union, and prior negotiations are pending.

But what really determined the course of the year and possibly that of 2016 as well were the repercussions of China’s economic adjustment. In summer, China be-gan to implement measures to stimulate its economy to counteract its increased weakness; it lowered inte-rest rates and injected money into its banking system. What lies at the core is an adjustment problem in a model that apparently no longer works, which was for-ged using large-scale capital investments and which has led to overcapacity in a world that is no longer growing as expected. This adjustment that the Chinese authorities have committed to implementing involves a greater share of the consumption factor in GDP at the expense of investment and industry. As a result of all of this, the adjustment in terms of raw materials has

20 21

siendo enorme, ya que China es el principal consumidor de mineral de hierro, cobre y otros minerales y uno de los más importantes de petróleo. En el caso del petróleo las repercusiones son más amplias ya que la caída en la demanda, unida a un exceso de producción provoca-do por la extracción de manera no convencional en los Estados Unidos, la negativa de Arabia Saudí a recortar la producción en el seno de la OPEP, y el levantamiento de las sanciones a Irán, han dado como resultado que el petróleo se haya desplomado hasta los 35 dólares por barril. Las repercusiones negativas en crecimiento, balanzas fiscales, reservas internacionales y divisas, en otros países como son los del Golfo Pérsico, Brasil, Ru-sia, Canadá, están siendo muy acusadas. El riesgo de una devaluación, para ganar en competitividad, de la divisa china, gana fuerza para el ejercicio 2016.

Las turbulencias en los mercados emergentes han provocado que la Reserva Federal estadounidense se encuentre muy dubitativa a la hora de subir los tipos de interés. En la reunión de Septiembre, aplazó la subida que parecía clara, ésta al final se produjo en Diciembre, con 25 puntos básicos y supuso la primera subida en más de 9 años. Pero para el ejercicio 2016 las expec-tativas se han reducido a dos únicas subidas. De todos modos, todo depende de las condiciones de mercado.

Al terminar el verano, se desató una crisis humanitaria con la llegada de más de 1 millón de refugiados pro-cedentes en su mayor parte de Siria. Esta crisis aparte de generar un importante drama social, está poniendo y va a poner durante 2016 a prueba la fortaleza de las instituciones europeas. Se piensa en la posible sus-pensión de la libre circulación de personas y el cie-rre de fronteras, además algunos estados receptores han tenido que revisar sus cifras de déficit público. La amenaza islamista, además, ha incrementado el gasto en defensa y en seguridad en países como Francia, que ya ha anunciado que no cumplirá el compromiso en déficit público.

been—and is—colossal, as China is the top consu-mer of iron ore, copper and other materials and one of the largest consumers of oil. In the case of oil, the repercussions are even more wide-reaching as the drop in demand, together with the production surplus caused by the unconventional extraction techniques of the United States, the refusal of Saudi Arabia to reduce production in the context of the OPEC and the lifting of sanctions on Iran, have resulted in oil prices nosediving to 35 dollars per barrel. The negative repercussions on growth, balance sheets, international reserves and cu-rrencies in other countries such as those in the Persian Gulf, Brazil, Russia and Canada are unmistakable. The risk of devaluation—to gain a competitive edge—of the Chinese currency is gaining momentum for fiscal year 2016.

The turbulence of emerging markets has made the US Federal Reserve extremely hesitant about raising interest rates. During the meeting in September, it postponed the hike that seemed imminent, which finally happened in December at 25 basic points—the first increase in more than 9 years. But for fiscal year 2016, expectations have been lowered to only two increases. In any case, everything depends on market conditions.

At the end of summer, a humanitarian crisis, due to the arrival of more than 1 million refugees—the majority of whom are from Syria—broke out. This crisis, aside from creating considerable social drama, is putting, and will continue to put, the strength of European institutions to the test in 2016. The possible suspension of the free circulation of people and the closing of borders are being contemplated. In addition, some refugee-receiving states have had to review their government deficit figures. Likewise, the threat from Islamic militants has increased spending on defence and security in countries such as France, which has already announced its inability to meet its commitment with regard to the budget deficit.

The Volkswagen company unleashed a scandal with unpredictable consequences for the European automotive industry, by revealing that it had tampered

El ejercicio terminó en el campo político con la celebra-ción de elecciones en Portugal y España. En Portugal la candidatura de derechas se proclamó vencedora, pero el partido socialista, junto con otros partidos de izquierda, arrebataron la jefatura de gobierno. El primer ministro se ha comprometido con los requisitos euro-peos de estabilidad presupuestaria. En España ha ocu-rrido algo parecido, pero la situación está mucho más enrevesada, al no tener ningún grupo mayorías claras. La única mayoría estable sería una gran coalición pero de momento parece no muy factible. De lo contrario, se tendrán que repetir las elecciones.

Para terminar y como resumen, el ejercicio ha ido de más a menos con un claro empeoramiento de las condiciones macroeconómicas principalmente en países emergentes. La duda que se cierne sobre el mercado al cierre de ejercicio, es que al estar la bol-sa estadounidense y los márgenes empresariales en máximos, se pueda estar ante una corrección bursátil de calado que genere mercados bajistas o ante una corrección técnica. Por otro lado como la renta fija se encuentra con unos rendimientos muy bajos, es muy difícil encontrar activos que generen algo de rentabi-lidad con un riesgo controlado. En cuanto a los datos macroeconómicos europeos, éstos han comenzado a mejorar muy levemente como consecuencia de la actividad del BCE. Si hay una corrección importante a la baja en países emergentes y en sectores básicos como acero y las mineras, la incipiente recuperación europea puede fallar.

La evolución durante 2015 de los principales índices bursátiles, del mercado de bonos, materias primas y divisas ha sido la siguiente:

with exhaust emissions control software. The entire European automotive industry has suffered a serious setback although it is expected that investments will remain unaffected.

The fiscal year ended on a political note, with the holding of elections both in Portugal and in Spain. In Portugal, the right-wing candidate emerged victorious, but the socialist party, together with other left-wing parties, wrested control of the government. The prime minister has committed to meeting the European requirements on budget stability. Something similar happened in Spain, although the situation is even more complex, as no single party has a clear majority. The only stable majority would be a large coalition, which at the moment does not seem viable at all. Otherwise, new elections will be have to be held.

To conclude and to summarise, the fiscal year has gone from bad to worse, with a clear worsening of the macroeconomic conditions, mainly in developing countries. At the end of the fiscal year, the question that looms over the market—as the US stock market and business margins are at an all-time high—is whether this is a stock market correction of such magnitude that it will lead to bear markets or if this is merely a technical correction. In addition, as fixed-income securities currently offer very low returns, it is very difficult to find assets that earn an acceptable return with controlled risk. In terms of European macroeconomic data, this has only begun to show a slight improvement as a result of the ECB’s efforts. If there is significant downward correction in developing countries and in core sectors such as steel production and mining, incipient European recovery may be nipped in the bud.

The development of the main stock-market, bond markets, commodities and currency indexes during 2015 has been as follows:

(Saldo negativo lo que la divisa se ha depreciado contra el euro, y positivo lo que el euro se ha depreciado contra esa divisa).

(Negative balance as currency depreciates against the euro and positive when the euro depreciates against this currency).

La rentabilidad del año 2015 se ha situado en un 5,13%, por otro lado, la rentabilidad compuesta desde el inicio de actividad de la Entidad se sitúa en el 6,51%.

El activo que ha generado la mayor rentabilidad es la Renta Variable con un 3,57%. La evolución de la Renta Fija, también ha sido positiva pero mucho menor, debido a que los tipos de interés se encuentran en niveles extre-madamente bajos. La parte de la rentabilidad generada por la Renta Fija ha ascendido a 1,47%. La volatilidad del valor liquidativo durante el ejercicio ha sido del 7,28%.

El detalle de la contribución a la rentabilidad por tipología de activos es la siguiente:

Profitability for the year 2015 stood at 5.13%, and conversely the compound profitability from the beginning of the Organisation’s activity stands at 6.51%.

The asset that has earned the highest return has been Variable Income at 3.57%. Fixed-Income Securities have evolved positively but to a much lesser degree, due to the fact that interest rates are at an all-time low. The proportion of returns earned by Fixed-Income Securities has risen to 1.47%. The volatility of net asset value during the fiscal year has been 7.28%.

El valor liquidativo de la Entidad se ha situado en los 21,05 €, lo que supone multiplicar por 3,5 los 6,01 € con los que comenzó la Entidad en Febrero de 1996.

The net asset value of the Organisation stood at 21.05 €, which more than multiplies by 3.5 the 6.01€ that the Organisation began with in February 1996.

DIVERSIFICACIÓN DE LA CARTERAASSET ALLOCATION

La evolución de la asignación de activos ha sido bas-tante uniforme, con un porcentaje estable, sobre el 30%, en renta variable, y un 58% en renta fija. La Entidad mantiene un 15% en corto plazo y liquidez y un 18% en cartera a vencimiento a coste y no sujeta a los movimientos de mercado.

En el capítulo de la Renta Fija valorada a mercado y sujeta a la volatilidad del mismo, la Entidad ha ido reduciendo los activos con peor binomio rentabilidad riesgo, tanto por duración, como por tipo de riesgo de crédito. En concreto la Entidad ha disminuido ac-tivos que tienen rendimientos muy bajos, como cé-dulas hipotecarias, bonos de gobierno y bonos senior financieros. Con respecto a la duración de los activos de renta fija sujetos a la valoración de mercado, la Entidad ha aumentado los valores con poca duración y aumentado levemente los bonos ultralargos con el fin de obtener cupones más elevados.

Además el riesgo está limitado por la compra de bo-nos públicos por parte del Banco Central Europeo. La Entidad ha bajado de una manera importante la exposición a la parte media-larga de la curva.

En el apartado de la renta variable, se ha reducido la ponderación a valores industriales y de materiales e incrementado los valores financieros. Con respecto a segmentación geográfica, se ha aumentado la expo-sición a Europa y disminuido a Estados Unidos, Lati-noamérica y Japón. La exposición a divisas extranje-ras es, aproximadamente, de un 8%. El resto, 92%, se encuentra en Euros. La Entidad es muy dinámica a la hora de cubrir posiciones en divisas extranjeras con el fin de limitar los riesgos.

The evolution of asset allocation has been fairly even, with a stable percentage of approximately 30% in variable-income securities and 58% in fixed-income securities. The Institution has 15% in short-term and liquid assets and 18% in held-to-maturity portfolios that are not subject to market fluctuations.

Regarding the market value of Fixed-Income Securities subject to market price volatility, the Institution has been decreasing the assets with the worst risk-reward ratio, both in terms of duration and credit risk type. Specifically, the Institution has reduced assets that have very low returns, such as mortgage bonds, government bonds and straight bonds. With respect to the duration of fixed-income assets subject to market value, the Institution has increased the securities with a short duration and slightly increased the ultra-long bonds for the purpose of obtaining higher coupons.

In addition, the risk on the purchase of government bonds is limited by the European Central Bank. The Institution has significantly lowered exposure in the medium-long end of the curve.

In the section on variable-income securities, the weight of securities in industries and materials has been decreased and securities in finance increased. With respect to geographic segmentation, exposure to Europe has increased whereas exposure to the United States, Latin America and Japan has decreased. Exposure to foreign currency is approximately at 8%. The rest—92%—is in euros. The Institution takes a very active role when covering positions in foreign currencies for the purpose of limiting risks.

EVOLUCIÓN Y PREVISIONES PARA EL AÑO 2016

DEVELOPMENT AND FORECASTS FOR 2016

2016 started with a significant drop in the prices of Variable-Income and Raw Materials assets and a considerable increase in the credit spreads in Fixed-Income bonds. The reason behind this particularly negative behaviour lies in the uncertainty about overall growth in general and China’s growth in particular. Since the beginning of the year, China has injected vast amounts of money into its banking system and its economy for the purpose of supporting its currency and increasing the liquidity of its banks in response to the outflow of capital that is currently taking place. As a result of this,

El año 2016 ha comenzado con una importante caí-da en el precio de los activos de Renta Variable y Ma-terias Primas, y con un considerable aumento de los diferenciales de crédito en los bonos de Renta Fija. La causa de este comportamiento tan negativo está en las dudas sobre el crecimiento global en general y el de China en particular. Desde que ha comenzado el año, China ha inyectado cantidades ingentes de dinero en sus bancos y en su economía con el fin de sostener a su divisa y dar liquidez a sus bancos ante la salida de capitales que se está produciendo. Como consecuencia de ello la volatilidad ha aumen-

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE AFTER THE CLOSURE OF THE TAX YEAR

De acuerdo con el artículo “9.3.1. Forma de Pago de las Prestaciones”, el importe mínimo para el cobro en forma de renta vitalicia correspondiente a 2016 será de 166 €.

Gracias a la rentabilidad de la Entidad durante el ejer-cicio 2015, el importe de las rentas actuariales se revalorizará en un 0,91% a partir del 1 de Enero de 2016 y el de las rentas financieras en un 1,5%.

According to article 9.3.1 Payment of Benefits, the minimum amount for collection in the form of annuity corresponding to 2016 will be 166 €.

tado enormemente y las materias primas, en especial el petróleo han caído fuertemente.

La situación de la economía real europea, va mejo-rando muy paulatinamente, pero con grandes desafíos cómo son la situación China y los riesgos políticos y sociales. La actuación del Banco Central Europeo está ayudando a fijar la rentabilidad de los bonos públicos en unos niveles bajos muy controlados, pero como contrapunto el ahorro no se remunera y produce un efecto muy pernicioso para la inversión.

La evolución de los mercados va a estar muy con-dicionada por la actividad de los bancos centrales; la Reserva Federal norteamericana en el camino de subida de tipos que ya ha iniciado el año pasado, y con respecto a los demás bancos centrales, saber hasta cuanto van a implementar medidas de apoyo y si las van a tener que ampliar por ser insuficientes. La evolución de los mercados va a depender de la vo-latilidad de los mismos. Se espera que ésta continúe elevada y por lo tanto con gran incertidumbre a la hora de estimar cualquier resultado futuro. Esto deja muy complicada la actuación de gestión de inversio-nes, ya que la rentabilidad esperada en la renta fija, o activos sin riesgo, es negativa y necesariamente tiene que ser compensada con la obtención de ren-tabilidad en activos con más riesgo y por lo tanto el binomio rentabilidad-riesgo se reduce.

volatility has considerably increased and raw materials, especially oil, have fallen sharply.

The actual state of the European economy is steadily improving, but it is not without great challenges such as the situation in China and the political and social risks. The intervention of the European Central Bank is helping to set government bond yields at carefully controlled low levels, but as a counterpoint, savings get no returns, negatively impacting on investment.

The evolution of the markets will be largely determined by the actions carried out by the central banks; for the US Federal Reserve, in the course of raising interest rates which it began last year, and with respect to other central banks, knowing the extent to which support measures will be implemented and if they will have to be expanded if they are not enough. The evolution of the markets will depend on their own volatility. It is expected that it will remain high, therefore sowing great uncertainty when estimating future results. This makes investment management a very complicated task, as the expected return on fixed-income securities or risk-free assets is negative. The only way to generate returns is by investing in assets with more risk, and therefore the risk-reward ratio decreases.

The Entities must comply with the new law from the day following its publication in the Official Bulletin of the Basque Country, although the Constitutional Court agreed to hear a constitutional challenge brought by the President of the Government, represented by the State Advocacy against twelve articles of Law 5/2012: 14th-2, 19.2, 28, 23.1) , 24, 26.1, 32.1, 46.2, 57.2, 58.1.c), 58.2 and 60.1. On June 12, 2014, the Constitutional Court delivered its judgment 97/2014, partially upholding the constitutional challenge, and consequently, declaring them unconstitutional and void Articles 14.a-2, 19.2, 22, 23.1 ), 32.1, 46.2, 58.1.c), 58.2 and 60.1.

2. Benefit coverage Benefits Regime applicable until June 30, 2015 Benefits comprise the financial recognition of the entitlements of the Entity’s passive members or beneficiaries deriving from the materialization of contingencies covered by the Entity. When a contingency materializes, passive members or beneficiaries receive the liquidating value of their accrued entitlements in the form of capital or annuity. It will be perceived as compulsory annuity until June 30, 2015. Exceptionally, when economic rights existing at the time of paying the benefit not generate the minimum amount of income referred to in the Regulation Benefits of the Entity (166 euros for the year 2015) for the year of payment of the benefit payments will be established as capital. Certain amendments to the Entity’s articles of association were approved at the extraordinary general assembly held on June 28, 2000, and came into force on January 1st, 2001. According to these amendments, the Entity’s benefits may be classified as ordinary (retirement and widowhood/orphanhood when the retired beneficiary dies) or risk (total permanent disability, absolute permanent disability and outstanding disability, widowhood/orphanhood in the event a disabled paying member dies and widowhood/orphanhood in the event a paying member dies). In order to reinforce or increase each paying member’s consolidated disability and death entitlements, an additional benefit was created (insured capital). This is obtained by multiplying the average payment made to the Entity by the ordinary member and the contributing member in respect of the ordinary member’s entitlements during the last six months by the number of months remaining from the materialization of the contingency until the member reaches 65 years of age. Nowadays, the benefits of retirement, benefits of disability for an active person and the benefits for death in an active member, will consist on a capital, by the payment of a unique quantity for the existing consolidated rights in the moment of the above mentioned benefits if the annuity does not reach the minimal revenue established in the Regulation Benefits of the Entity. The perception of the benefits will consist in an annuity if the amount previously mentioned is reached. Until June 30, 2015, benefits paid to the widow or person with a similar relationship of a deceased active member will be in the form of compulsory annuity. Exceptionally, when economic rights existing at the time of paying the benefit not generate the minimum amount of income referred to in the Regulation Benefits of the Entity, above, will be established as capital payments. The orphan hood benefit deriving from the death of a paying member will only be paid providing no widowhood entitlement exists, will take the form of a certain temporary financial annuity until the orphan or orphans reach the age of 25, and is based on the consolidated economic entitlements accrued up to the moment in which the contingency materialized, to be distributed through the same monthly income to each of them, if more than one, or the payment of a single capital.

Benefits Regime applicable until June 30, 2015

Benefits comprise the financial recognition of the entitlements of the Entity’s passive members or beneficiaries deriving from the materialization of contingencies covered by the Entity. When a contingency materializes, passive members or beneficiaries receive the liquidating value of their accrued entitlements in the form of capital or annuity. It will be perceived as compulsory annuity until June 30, 2015.

On April 16, 2010 the General Assembly of the Entity approved the inclusion of insurance covering death for six years from the start of the provision through actuarial lifetime income in such a way that if an unmarried member dies, or a married member whose partner has already died, their beneficiaries will be entitled to receive an annually decreasing percentage of the mathematical provision (60% the first year, to 10% in the sixth year) (For income caused from May 1, 2010). In the event of disability or death of a non-paying member, the corresponding benefits comprise the consolidated individual entitlements deriving from the regular contributions of the deceased ordinary member and the contributing member, and any yield and gains generated through the management of funds after the Entity’s management expenses have been settled. Under the resolution adopted by the Governing Board of the Entity, on December 18, 2012 to amend Article 9A of the Statutes, disabled members grade less than 45% will be entitled to a retirement pension from age 56 if they are not active and are entitled to social Security retirement. On December 19, 2006 the Entity took out a life risk transfer contract with an insurance company (AVIVA) through the “Federación de Entidades de Previsión Social Voluntaria de Euskadi” (Basque Federation of Voluntary Social Welfare Entities). This contract covers 50% of the risk of death, permanent total disability, permanent total disability and severe disability, and took effect from January 1, 2007. The Entity gives the 29% and the 33% of the withdrawn fees for the hedge of the risky benefits cited previously for the years 2015 and 2014. During 2015 the amount paid by the Bank to the insurance totaled 2,093 thousand euros (2,403 thousand euros during 2014). In June 14, 2012 an additional contract for the transfer of risk to another reinsurer (VidaCaixa) was signed, covering the remaining 50% risk of death, permanent total disability, permanent total disability, severe disability, total disability permanent and permanent total disability. This reinsurance coverage took effect from January 1, 2012. The premium of this contract for the year 2015 amounted to 2,009 thousand euros (1,999 thousand euros for the year 2014). Both contracts are established on an annual basis, tacitly renewed each year and include the ability to participate in the benefits of reinsurance. During 2014, 312 thousand euros have accrued revenues for this matter (450 thousand euros during the year 2014) with credit to "Net operating expenses" in the income statement (Note 13). After the new drafting of the Regulation approved by the Ordinary General Meeting of April 15, 2015, this benefits regime stands applicable for the shareholders with benefits caused before December 31, 2014, based on the transitory provision one and two of the cited regulation. Additionally, for this shareholders exclusively, their benefits as annuities actuarial system are constant and not revaluable. However, when the yield (previous to the transfer to benefits of the excessive risk) obtained in a year exceeds the technical interest rate, will generate a right to an improvement of the annuity of the 70% of the exceeding amount, once taken into reserves all those annuities occurred until December 31, 2014.

Adaptation in the year 2015 on the payment of benefits In order to adapt to its partners’ request and avoid future problems in the payment of benefits derived from certain factors such as demographic or economic that could damage the Entity’s solvency, the Entity’s Governing Board meeting held on December 9, 2014 has announced the transition to a new model of paying benefits. The agreement has been approved by the Entity’s Extraordinary General Assembly meeting held on January 13, 2015. Finally, after attending the recommendations of the Basque Government, the new benefits model is under the Benefits Regulation approved by the Ordinary General Meeting held on April 15, 2015, and also under the Entity’s Statutes approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting held on December 17, 2015. This change in the income model has been implemented through two distinct phases: - Transitional period between January 1, 2015 and June 30, 2015: Continuity of the old

model of annuities, where the technical interest rate used to calculate technical provisions of 3.5% is reduced to 1.5%, the solvency margin of 6% is covered by the rentier and the individual capitalization of the contributions of each partner in their economic rights increases from 90% to 93%, allocating 7% to risk hedging.

- Period beginning on July 1, 2015: Introduction of a new model of payment of benefits

which establishes that the payment of benefits depend on the number of years of income that can be generated with the partner’s economic rights. Benefits shall be paid as annuities if the income reaches at the time of the benefit being made, the "Amount of Income Generation (AIG)" for each of the established later sections. The Amount of Income Generation is calculated as follows:

AIG year 1 = BCCC max year 0 * % max year 0

In which: AIG year 1: Generated amount of income for year 1. MCCC max year 0: Maximum contribution base for common contingencies year 0. % max year 0: Maximum percentage of contribution to the Entity for year 0. The amount will be rounded up to the closest integer number. Thus, 4 sections are established:

a) Section 1: If the economic rights do not reach for the payment of an income during a 5 year period, with a monthly minimum amount of the IGR, it will be paid in a capital benefit form.

b) Section 2: If the economic rights reach for the payment of an annuity between 5

and 20 years, with a monthly mínimum amount of the IGR, the benefits will be optional between a capital form and a temporary annuity income that goes between 5 and 20 years.

c) Section 3: If the economic rights reach the amount necessary to pay an annuity

between 20 years and the years left to reach the legal age of retirement plus 25, with a monthly minimum amount of the IGR, the benefits will be paid in a temporary annuity income basis between the 20 years and the years left to reach the legal retirement age plus 25.

d) Section 4: If the economic rights reach the amount necessary to pay a monthly

mínimum amount of the IGR until the legal retirement age plus 25, the benefits will be paid as a temporary annuity income form until the legal age for retirement plus 25, and additionally a deferred life annuity (paid since the end of the temporary annuity until death). The deferred life annuity will be covered at the moment of transforming the capital into a rent, subtracting the amount that corresponds to the individual economic rights. The Entity will calculate an homogenous for all the members. Exceptionally this life annuity will be voluntary and the cost to apply will be real (PERM/F-2000C tables) if it is requested the benefit one year after the legal retirement age.

The rent for the widow or widower or the person with analogous relationship, derived from death of an active partner will be mandatorily paid as a financial rent, without dependency insurance, of the outstanding installments. The orphan's benefit for children under age 25 or disabled in a degree equal to or above 65% resulting from the death of an active partner, will receive the payment of the outstanding amounts as capital, proportionally to the remaining years up to 25 years of the orphan, matching the age of the handicapped child to the younger child, to be distributed by the same monthly rent to each of them, if there were more than one, or the payment of a single capital. Actuarial income from dependency insurance of the final section set in the model will not be reversed. Also, for the case of benefits arising from the contingencies of absolute permanent disability or great disability, the member may choose its rent to be calculated based on the AIG or twice the AIG, thereby reducing the term of the rent, and hiring or no deferred life annuity. The agreement does not constitute a change in the contingencies covered by the Entity, but the establishment of a new system of payment of benefits, different from and a replacement of the previous one. The initial calculation of the temporary financial income will be done using an interest rate of 1%, and considering they are post payable growing at a 0.5% annual rate. Annually, in case that the market conditions allow the gain of a higher yield, the incomes will obtain a share of the benefits of the 100% of the excess over the 1% of the assets assigned to the hedge of these incomes. Therefore it will be increased the monthly amount of all the shareholders in a homogenous percentage.

The directors of the Entity show, for comparison purposes, with the balance sheet, the profit and loss account, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement, besides the figures for 2015, those for the previous year. 3.3. Accounting principles When preparing these annual accounts the accounting and reclassification principles and standards set out, fundamentally, by the Basque Government Decree 86/2010, and the most significant are those described in Note 5. No mandatory accounting principle that has a significant effect on these annual accounts has been omitted from the preparation of the accompanying annual accounts. 3.4. Key aspects of the measurement and estimation of uncertainty When preparing the annual accounts judgments and estimates based on assumptions of the future and uncertainties have been used and basically refer to the impairment of financial assets, non-Underwriting reserves, the calculation of the fair value of financial assets not traded on active markets and the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The estimates and assumptions used are reviewed regularly and are based on past experience and other factors that could have been considered more reasonable at any given moment. If, as a result of these reviews, there is a change in the estimate for a certain period, its effect would be applied to that period and, if appropriate, in successive periods. 3.5. Items included under more than one heading For the purposes of facilitating the understanding of the balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement, these financial statements are presented in a group format and all necessary disclosures are set out in the notes to the annual accounts. 3.6. Changes in accounting policies Changes in accounting policies, either because they amend an accounting regulation that governs a certain transaction or event or because the Governing Board decides to change the accounting policy for justified reasons, are applied retroactively unless: It is impractical to determine the effect in each specific year deriving from a change in

an accounting policy regarding comparative information from a preceding year, in which case the new accounting policy is applied at the start of the oldest year so that retroactive application becomes practicable. When it is impractical to determine the accumulated effect, at the start of the current year, deriving from the application of a new accounting policy to all preceding years the new accounting policy is applied on a prospective basis as from the oldest date on which it is practical to do so or,

The accounting rule or regulation changes or establishes the application date.

3.7. Correction of errors Errors in the preparation of prior-year annual accounts are the result of omissions or inaccuracies resulting from the failure to employ or use reliable information that was available when the annual accounts for those periods were prepared and the Entity should have used when preparing those annual accounts. Errors relating to prior years are corrected retroactively in the first annual accounts that are prepared after discovery, as if the error had never taken place: • Re-expressing the amounts of the various annual accounts affected by the error,

including the notes to the annual accounts that are published in the annual accounts for the purposes of comparison, which relate to that year and prior years, if applicable.

• Re-expressing the opening balance for the oldest year for which information is

presented if the error took place before the first annual accounts that are presented for the purposes of comparison.

When it is impractical to determine the effects arising in each specific year from an error involving comparative information from a preceding year, the opening balances for the oldest years are re-expressed, where possible. In the event that it is not practical to determine the accumulated effect, at the start of the current year, of an error involving all prior years, the comparative information is re-expressed correcting the error on a prospective basis as from the earliest date possible. Errors from prior years that affect equity are corrected in the year discovered using the relevant equity account. Under no circumstances are errors from prior years corrected through the income statement for the year in which they are discovered, unless they have no relative importance or it is impractical to determine the effect of the error based on the provisions of the preceding paragraph. During fiscal years 2015 and 2014, the Entity has not carried out any correction. 3.8. Criteria for attributing income and expense Income and expense are recorded in the period in which the income or expense deriving from the goods or services in question is represented rather than the period in which the cash or financial flow is actually received or disbursed. The income statement adequately separates income and expense for the period by activity in accordance with the disclosure rules established by current legislation (Activities of Pension Plans of the Voluntary Social Welfare Entities, Other activities developed by Voluntary Social Welfare Entities and non social welfare plan activity account). Within each activity, the related revenue and expenses related to the affected operations are charged to the appropriate account in the consolidated income statement. Revenues and expenses from investments to materialize in equity and other resources directly related to the practice of operations affected the social welfare activities are taken to the "non social welfare plan activity account" in the consolidated income statement.

(i) Computer software Computer software acquired and produced by the Entity, including website costs, is recognized when there is evidence of technical success and a clear allocation in time of costs. Computer software maintenance costs are charged as expenses when incurred. (ii) Subsequent costs Subsequent costs incurred on intangible assets are recognized in profit and loss, unless they increase the expected future economic benefits attributable to the intangible asset. (iii) Useful life and amortization rates The Entity assesses whether the useful life of each intangible asset acquired is finite or indefinite. An intangible asset is regarded by the Entity as having an indefinite useful life when there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset will generate net cash inflows. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized by allocating the depreciable amount of an asset on a systematic basis over its useful life, by applying the following criteria:

The depreciable amount of intangible assets is measured as the cost of the asset, less any residual value. The Entity reviews the residual value, useful life and amortization method for intangible assets at each financial year end. Changes to initially established criteria are accounted for as a change in accounting estimates. (iv) Impairment The Entity measures and determines impairment to be recognized or reversed based on recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Impairment of intangible assets, or a reversal of impairment when the circumstances that gave rise to it have ceased to exist, is recognized as an expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. b) Property, plant and equipment (i) Initial recognition Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment.

Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets, understood as those in which the reciprocal obligations of the parties must be consumed within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned and cannot be settled by differences, are recognized using trade date accounting or settlement date accounting. (ii) Offsetting principles A financial asset and a financial liability are offset only when the Entity currently has the legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. (iii) Financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading Financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading are those which are classified as held for trading from initial recognition. Financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are recognized as an expense when incurred. After initial recognition, they are recognized at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value is not reduced by transaction costs incurred on sale or disposal. Accrual interest and dividends are recognized separately. (iv) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are recognized as an expense in the income statement.

When investments are materialized in assets and it can be considered that the available information cannot be fully contrasted with third parties and the application of market value would give rise to a gain, this gain is not recognized. (v) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables comprise trade and non-trade receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market other than those classified in other financial asset categories. These assets are recognized initially at fair value, including transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Nevertheless, financial assets which have no established interest rate, which mature or are expected to be received in the short term, and for which the effect of discounting is immaterial, are measured at their nominal amount.

A financial asset and a financial liability are offset only when the Entity currently has the legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(iii) Financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading

Financial assets or financial liabilities held for trading are those which are classified as held for trading from initial recognition.

Financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are recognized as an expense when incurred.

After initial recognition, they are recognized at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value is not reduced by transaction costs incurred on sale or disposal. Accrual interest and dividends are recognized separately.

(iv) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are recognized as an expense in the income statement.

After initial recognition, they are recognized at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value is not reduced by transaction costs incurred on sale or disposal. Accrual interest and dividends are recognized separately. When investments are materialized in assets and it can be considered that the available information cannot be fully contrasted with third parties and the application of market value would give rise to a gain, this gain is not recognized.

(vi) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are debt securities with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity traded on an active market and that Entity management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity, other than those classified in other categories. The measurement criteria applicable to financial instruments classified in this category are the same as those applicable to loans and receivables. (vii) Investments in group companies, associates and jointly controlled entities Investments in group companies, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially recognized at cost, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given, including transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at book value, less any accumulated impairment losses. (viii) Interest and dividends Interest is recognized using the effective interest method. Dividends from investments in equity instruments are recognized when the Entity is entitled to receive them. If the dividends are clearly derived from profits generated prior to the acquisition date because amounts higher than the profits generated by the investment since acquisition have been distributed, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced. (ix) Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or have been transferred and the Entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Debt or equity instruments which form part of portfolios of similar instruments which have the same rights, except when the instruments sold and their individualized cost can be clearly identified, are measured and derecognized at weighted average cost On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received, including any cumulative gain or loss deferred in recognized income and expense, is recorded in profit or loss. (x) Impairment of financial assets A financial asset is deemed to be impaired and its carrying amount is therefore adjusted on the basis of objective evidence of the following events: Debt instruments, when there is objective evidence of a significant effect on the future

cash flows that were estimated at the transaction date.

Equity instruments, when the carrying amount may not be fully recovered.

(vii) Investments in group companies, associates and jointly controlled entities

Investments in group companies, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially recognized at cost, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given, including transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at book value, less any accumulated impairment losses.

(viii) Interest and dividends

Interest is recognized using the effective interest method.

Dividends from investments in equity instruments are recognized when the Entity is entitled to receive them. If the dividends are clearly derived from profits generated prior to the acquisition date because amounts higher than the profits generated by the investment since acquisition have been distributed, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced.

(ix) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or have been transferred and the Entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Debt or equity instruments which form part of portfolios of similar instruments which have the same rights, except when the instruments sold and their individualized cost can be clearly identified, are measured and derecognized at weighted average cost

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received, including any cumulative gain or loss deferred in recognized income and expense, is recorded in profit or loss.

(x) Impairment of financial assets

A financial asset is deemed to be impaired and its carrying amount is therefore adjusted on the basis of objective evidence of the following events:

Debt instruments, when there is objective evidence of a significant effect on the future cash flows that were estimated at the transaction date.

Among the situations taken into consideration by the Entity as objective evidence that a financial instrument may be impaired, and gives rise to an analysis to determine the amount of the potential impairment, are the following: (a) Significant financial difficulties affecting the issuer or debtor.

(b) A failure to comply with contractual clauses, such as failure to make payment or delays

in the payment of interest or principle.

(c) When the Entity, for financial or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulties, grants the borrower concessions or advantages which it otherwise would not have granted, always applying the requirements established by the legislation applicable to the Entity.

(d) When it is considered probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or any other financial reorganisation situation relating to difficulties to attend to its payment commitments.

(e) The disappearance of an active market for the financial asset in question, due to the debtor or counterparty's financial difficulties relating to the risk assumed by the Entity.

(f) If observable information indicates that there may be a decrease in the measurement of estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets of uniform characteristics after its initial recognition, although the decrease may not be yet identified in the individual financial assets making up the group, including:

i) Adverse changes in the payment conditions for a uniform group of borrowers

which, for example, has a growing number of payment delays or presents an inadequate financial structure.

ii) Local or national financial conditions are co-related to the failure to make payment for a group of assets, such as an increase in the unemployment rate in the borrowers' geographic area, a significant decline in the price of mortgaged properties or adverse changes in the conditions of a sector that affects a group of borrowers.

(g) For equity instruments, information regarding significant changes are taken into

account when an adverse effect has arisen in the technological, market, financial or legal environment in which the issuer operates and the specific situations that affect the entities in which investments are made and which could indicate that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recoverable. A prolonged or significant decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below cost is also objective evidence of impairment, although the Entity requires a relevant analysis as to whether or not the decline is actually related to the impairment of the investment leading to the conclusion that the invested amount will not be recovered.

The methods applied by the Entity to identify possible impairment losses for each category of financial instruments and to calculate accounting provisions for that impairment are described below: Debt instruments measured at amortised cost: Impairment losses are equal to the positive difference between their respective carrying amounts and the present value of their estimated future cash flows. The market value of listed debt instruments is treated as a reasonable estimate of the present value of future cash flows. Subsequently, the cash flows are discounted at the instrument’s effective interest rate (where a fixed rate was contracted) or at the effective contractual interest rate at the discount date (where a variable rate was contracted). As regards impairment losses caused by the insolvency of a party liable for payment (credit risk), a debt instrument is impaired: When there is evidence of a reduction in the party’s payment capacity due to default or

other causes, and/or

When country risk materialises: country risk is considered to be the risk associated with debtors resident in a given country due to circumstances other than normal commercial risk.

The process of evaluating possible impairment losses for these assets is done individually, for all significant debt instruments and those which, though not significant, cannot be classified into homogenous groups of instruments of a similar type, business sector and geographic area, debtor activity, guarantee type, age of past due amounts, etc. Adjustments for impairment, as well as their reversal when the amount of such losses decreases for reasons relating to subsequent events, will be recognised as an expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. The reversal of impairment will be limited by the book value of the asset being recognised at the reversal date if the impairment has not been recorded. Equity instruments measured at cost Impairment losses, if applicable, are equal to the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of forecast future cash flows, discounted at the market rate for returns from other similar securities. Impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated income statement for the period in which they arise as a direct reduction to the cost of the instrument. These losses can only be reversed subsequently if the impaired assets are sold.

(xi) Fair value The fair value of financial assets is mainly determined by using the listed prices on active markets as a reference. (xii) Individual cases Hybrid financial instruments Financial instruments are those that combine a primary non-derivative contract and a financial derivative, called an embedded derivative, which cannot be independently transferred and the effect is that some of the cash flows for the hybrid instrument very in a manner similar to derivative cash flows taken into consideration independently. These financial liabilities are measured, both initially and subsequently, at fair value and any changes affecting this value are taken to the income statement for the year. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognized in the income statement for the year. Compound financial instruments The non-derivative financial instruments simultaneously include liability and asset components The Entity recognizes measures and presents separately its components, distributing the initial book value in accordance with the following criteria which, except in the case of any error, will not be available for subsequent reversal: (a) It will assign the liability component the fair value of a similar liability that is not

associated with the equity component.

(b) It will assign the equity component the difference between the initial amount and the value assigned to the liability component.

(c) It will distribute the transaction costs in the same proportion. Financial guarantee contracts A financial guarantee contract is one that requires the issuer to make specific payments to reimburse the holder for any loss incurred when a specific borrower fails to comply with repayment obligations in accordance with the original or amended conditions of a debt instrument, such as a guarantee. These contracts are measured initially at their fair value which is the same as the premium received plus the present value of any premiums yet to be received. Subsequent to the initial recognition, and unless at that time the item has been classified as Other financial liabilities at fair value to changes in profit or loss, it is stated at the initially recognised amount less any portion relating to accrued income has been taken to the income statement.

(xiii) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, that are not classified as held for trading or as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value less any transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the financial liability. After initial recognition, liabilities classified under this category are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Nevertheless, financial liabilities which have no established interest rate, which mature or are expected to be settled in the short term, and for which the effect of discounting is immaterial, are measured at their nominal amount. d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits in financial institutions. They also include other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent when it has a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. e) Underwriting reserves (i) Reserves associated with defined contribution plans under which the member assumes

the investment risk Relates to the reserves created in order to attend to the obligations assumed with respect to Members as a result of the Entity's pension activity. The Entity charges the heading "Change in other underwriting reserves, net of reinsurance" to credit the heading "Reserve for pension activity transactions - reserves associated with defined contribution pension plans under which the member assumes the investment risk" in the amount of the positive change in equity associated with the Pension Plan. In addition, it credits the heading "Change in other underwriting reserves, net of reinsurance" for any negative changes in equity charged against the heading "Reserve for pension activity transactions - reserves associated with defined contribution pension plans under which the member assumes the investment risk". (ii) Mathematical reserve The mathematical reserve covers the actuarial liabilities estimated by the Entity and calculated by an actuarial analysis prepared by an independent actuary in order to cover future obligations for benefits already being paid in the form of income. The basic working assumptions in the calculation of this reserve at 31 December 2015 and 2014 were as follows: 2015 2014 - Survival tables: PERM/F - 2000C PERM/F - 2000C - Mortality tables (only for insurance): GKM/F-95 GKM/F-95 - Technical interest rate 3,5% annual 3.5% annual - Growth of pensions 0% annual 0% annual

On June 11, 2015 the Government Board approved to establish the technical interest rate for the calculation of mathematical provisions at a 2.5%, being effective from July 1st, 2015 (Notes 2 and 11). The new technical interest rate, in accordance with the macroeconomic environment and the returns of financial assets, is the proposed for its utilization for the calculation of mathematical provisions of the group of liabilities. To assign a decrease of 100 b.p. of the technical interest rate at the calculation of those provisiones will be hedged with the reserves the Entity has recorded during the years, therefore, the pensions will not be affected. (iii) Other underwriting reserves Relates to the reserves created to cover the restatement of lifetime income approved by the General Assembly (Note 2). In addition, it includes a reserve for changes in existing actuarial commitments approved by the General Assembly on May 7, 2003 and which is calculated at 25% of the current lifetime income commitments (Note 11). (iv) Underwriting reserves for ceded reinsurance The underwriting reserves for ceded reinsurance, recorded under assets in the accompanying balance sheet, is calculated on the basis of the same criteria as those applied to mathematical provisions in accordance with the prevailing reinsurance treaties in force. The balance included at the end of the year in the heading “Reinsurers’ share of technical provisions” corresponds to the estimated debt or funds necessary to meet the commitments assumed by the reinsurer in relation to benefits which are being paid. f) Recognition of income and expenses Income and expenses are recognized on an accruals basis, rather than upon collection or payment. Dividends are generally recognized as income when their distribution is approved and announced at the respective board of directors or annual general shareholder meetings. g) Commitments with personnel Pursuant to article 21 of the Gipuzkoa Office Workers’ Collective Labour Agreement, applicable to Entity personnel, workers with at least 25 years’ service who voluntarily leave the Entity are entitled to receive between two and four months’ salary, based on their length of service when leaving. The Entity has recorded the corresponding provision for the amounts accrued at December 31, 2015 and 2014 (Note 12). h) Foreign currency transactions - Functional and presentation currency The financial statements of the Entity are presented in Euros, which is the functional and presentation currency of the entity.

- Transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are initially translated into functional currency using the prevailing exchange rates. It is deferred in equity as cash-flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges qualified. Gains and losses on foreign currency from the settlement of these transactions and from the conversion to the closure exchange of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the Income Statement, unless they are deferred in equity, such as qualified cash flow hedges and qualified net investment hedges. Changes in value in monetary assets in foreign currency classified as available for sale are analyzed as the translation differences surging from changes in the amortized cost of the title and other changes in its book value. Exchange differences arising on translation of debtor and creditor balances denominated in foreign currency are generally recorded in the consolidated income statement. Differences arising from other changes in the book value are recognised in equity. The translation differences that arise on non-monetary items like equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss are considered as a part of the profit or loss in its fair value. In the case of exchange differences that arise on non-monetary items like available-for-sale equity instruments are included in equity.

A summary of the policies and risk management procedures performed by the Entity is presented as follows: - Market risk Considering the nature of the risk factors, within market risk we can distinguish: Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk of loss due to changes in interest rates in which the Entity holds open positions. The Entity is exposed to this risk by investing in debt instruments, both public and private, deposits made in financial institutions and money market instruments. Variable interest rate securities expose the entity to cash flow’s interest rate risk and fixed rate securities expose the entity to interest rate risk on fair value. In order to measure interest rate risk the entity uses the concept of the portfolio of debt securities duration as weighted average (Macaulay duration) and the modified duration as a measure of sensitivity of the portfolio to changes in interest rates. Price risk It is defined as loss from equity face to adverse movements on stock or index prices. Price risk can also be understood as changes in the volatility of stock prices, in the relationship between prices of different stocks, and the yield spread between stocks and bonds. The Entity is exposed to price risk on investments in listed securities held in its portfolio. Exchange rate risk It is the risk of change in value of the positions held in currencies different from the functional currency due to changes in exchange rates. This risk is measured taking the net position held in each currency and the volatility of the exchange rates of those currencies. The Entity invests in both domestic and international markets, placing most of their investments in the Euro area. The investment held by the Entity in foreign currency assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013 is indicated in Note 5.h).

Market risk measurement is done by using VaR (Value at Risk) methodology, VaR method estimates the maximum potential loss that could be expected from an adverse, but normal, movement from any of the identified parameters affecting market risk. That estimate is expressed in monetary terms and is referred to a specific date, at a given confidence level and a specified time horizon. - Credit/Default risk Credit risk refers to the potential loss from the breach of any or all the obligations of the counterparty. Credit risk exists Credit risk exists throughout the life of the operation, but may vary from one day to another due to the clearance procedures and changes in valuations. Two types of credit risk can be distinguished Counterparty risk It is the loss that would be incurred in the event of counterparty default, when having to restore the position in the market. Issuer risk It represents the risk of insolvency of the issuer due to changes in its economical and financial strenght, becoming unable to face, the payments from the securities issued by him. It is also considered as issuer risk the potential adverse change in the market value of an issuer’s securities value due to a change in the market’s perception of its solvency. Credit risk is managed by groups. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments, deposits with banks and financial institutions, including accounts receivable and committed transactions. Limits of diversification and dispersion are regularly tracked.

- Liquidity risk

We can distinguish two types of liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk on the treasury forecast

It is the risk of being unable to face the payment commitments due to an inadequate structure of the cash flows.

The Entity regularly tracks the treasury forecasts depending on the expected cash flows. Liquidity control and management performed by the Entity ensures the availability of enough liquid resources to fulfill the payment commitments. In order to measure this risk, the Entity tracks the following ratio: Total Contributions + Assets with < 1 year maturity Total Benefits Market liquidity risk It is defined the Entity's risk of being unable to undo a position in a timely manner, without suffering distortions in the market price and the cost of the operation. The risk is assessed considering the relationship between different markets, each market’s depth (ie the sale of products whose pricing is not frequent may be difficult), the period of unexpired products and other factors. It is also associated with the possibility that a large-volume operation on a particular instrument may have an unpredictable effect on the market price of the instrument. Liquidity risk is quantified adjusting risk measures to reflect the time needed to undo a certain position. This adjustmentr is known as liquidity factor. In illiquid markets, the aski/bid gap tends to be which increases that cost. A related phenomenon is the risk of a sudden and unexpected decrease in liquidty, even in traditionally liquid markets, due to significant movements in price or volatility. 7.

9.1.1.1 Other financial instruments at fair value through changes in profit or loss Detail of this heading at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows: Thousand Euros 2015 2014 Equity instruments 679,366 566,378 Financial investments in equity 171,030 168,707 Participation units in Investment Funds 484,609 386,920 Participation units in Venture Capital Funds 23,727 10,751 Debt securities 447,234 455,699 Hybrid instruments 14,795 15,460 1,141,395 1,037,537

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the time of presentation of the information is the fair value of the securities classified under this category. Inside the chapter of “debt securities” a bond is included issued by Banco Espirito Santo with a maturity date on June 2015 and a face value of 2,000 thousand euros. At the preparation date of the current annual accounts the Entity has not received the correspondent amount, therefore the Entity has applied an adjustment due to a value impairment and taken it to Profit & Loses during 2015 for the whole amount of the asset. During 2014, the Entity did not assign any provision to the portfolio of “Other financial assets at fair value through profit or loss”. The amount of income accrued and not due from debt securities and hybrid instruments of this heading amounted 7,433 thousand euros at December 2015 (8,176 thousand Euros in 2014). The annual interest rate of debt securities on December 31, 2015 range between 0.23% and 10.47% (1.75% and 9.38% on December 31, 2014). At December 31, 2015 and 2014, almost all of the securities of the Entity were deposited or pending deposit in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.

In accordance with current legislation, voluntary pension activities that assume coverage of biometric risks must have uncommitted equity (or solvency margin) in each financial year that is established at 4% of the mathematical reserve. Reinsured pension plans do not require any solvency margin In addition, the assets associated to that coverage must exceed the underwriting reserves.
