stood out for the fact that the
euro came into operation as
a billable, although not yet physical, currency, and the change in
the trend in interest rates, which
after falling during the first half of
the year began to rise in the
second half.
MCCs
Financial
Group
continued to record the high
levels of efficiency already
demonstrated in the two previous
years,
having
successfully
overcome adverse circumstances
like the tightening of the gross
earnings margin and the volatility
of the financial markets.
In 1999 MCCs Financial
Groups compliance with its
Basic Corporate Objectives has
been as follows:
Customer Satisfaction. During
the year advances continued to be
made
in
the
continuous
improvement of quality, with ISO
9002 certification obtained for a
number of activities, like Caja
Laborals telebanking service,
Lagun Aros Company Medicine
Service and in the sale and
management of car insurance.
In the banking area, customers
have been assigned to specific
managers and products and
services prepared for different
types
of
customers.
Complementary sales channels,
like telephone banking and
Internet banking (Caja Laboral
NET), have been consolidated
and the number of branches
opening in the afternoon
increased.
Profitability. The tightening of
the gross earnings margins was
offset by the increased volume of

10

business recorded during the

year. Other factors which had a
favourable effect on profitability
were the recovery in the stock
market in the last quarter of the
year,
with
the
resulting
favourable
effect
on
the
investment portfolio, and the
significant
reduction
in
delinquency. All these factors
helped to consolidate the results.
Internationalisation. In 1999
there was an increase in 13% in
the volume of commercial
operations abroad. 68% of this
business was with co-operative
enterprises and the remaining
32% with other business clients.
During the year the network of
foreign correspondent banks was
reinforced, extending it to new
geographical areas, and taking
the total to more than 900.
Development. The activity of
this Group increased significantly
in 1999 with both assets under
administration
and
bank
investment recording two-digit
growth.
The
considerable
profitability obtained also helped
to reinforce the soundness of the
net worth of the institution, taking
Caja
Laborals
equity
to
125,453 million pesetas, a 13%
increase and Lagun-Aros funds
to 333,303 million pesetas, a
16% increase. Geographical
expansion was concentrated
mainly on the leading cities in the
Castilla-Len region, where four
new branches were opened.
Finally, the increase of 2,074 in
the number of Lagun Aro
members stands out, as it was the
largest increase in its history.
Worker Participation. In
1999 the opinion that members
of this Group have of its Policy
and Strategy was assessed for
the first time. The knowledge

management process was also

documented in order to be able
to transmit the best practices from
one business centre to another.
Training during the year was
mainly aimed at improving the
technical level of staff, promotion
courses
and
help
for
complementary courses. It should
also be highlighted that over the
year, 1,381 million pesetas from
Caja Laborals Education and
Promotion Fund were earmarked
for co-operative training and
promotion.
Among the aspects relating to
Lagun
Aro,
the
positive
performance of the Employment
Aid
benefit
should
be
highlighted, which enabled a
reserve fund totalling 3,843
million pesetas to be set up for
the future. Mention should also
be made of the increasing
activity
of
the
Company
Medicine Service, due to the
increase in the number of
workers in the Group and the
awareness among the cooperatives about the prevention
of occupational hazards and the
control
of
environmental
pollution.

CAJA LABORAL
Sdad. Coop. de Crdito

aja Laboral is a credit

institution set up by the
industrial co-operatives.
From the start it has played a key
role in the promotion, financing
and business development of the
co-operative movement, of which
it has become the flagship,
establishing the bases of what is
today Mondragn Corporacin
Cooperativa.
1999 was a good year for Caja
Laboral, in spite of a number of
complications inherent in the
volatility of the financial markets
and the historic minimum levels
of interest rates, which put a lot
of pressure on the gross earnings
margin of the banking sector.
Total assets on the balance sheet
accounted for 997,565 million
pesetas at the end of 1999,
which is an increase of 9.5%
compared to 1998.
Customer
assets
under
administration, including those
administered off the balance
sheet, totalled 1,058,922 million
pesetas at the end of the year,
with a notable increase over the
year of 12%. There was a
change in the market trend, with
a return to traditional savings
schemes to the detriment of unit
trusts. Fixed term deposits as a
whole increased by 52%, while
unit trusts and the other offbalance sheet items fell by 12%.
Equity continued to grow,
boosted by the high level of
profitability obtained and the
demanding
policy
of
capitalisation of profits, taking
the final figure to 125,453
million pesetas. In accordance
with Bank of Spain regulations,

are members of cooperatives,
mainly
forming part of Mondragn
Corporacin Cooperativa. It is
Lagun-Aros task to provide social
welfare cover for these members
and their families, at a similar
level to the cover provided by the
state system.
At 31 December 1999, LagunAro had 22,665 members, in
113 co-operatives. This figure
was an increase of 2,074 during
the year, the biggest in Lagun
Aros history. 31% of the new
members belonged to the new
limited duration or special quota
forms of membership.
As far as pro rata benefits are
concerned, these totalled 6,252
million pesetas in 1999 and
were mainly for:
* Sick Leave, 2,733 million
pesetas (43.7% of the total).
* Health Care, 2,238 million
pesetas (35.8% of the total).
Employment Aid should also be
highlighted as it has fallen to 40
million pesetas, with a surplus of
1,339 million pesetas generated.
This amount, added to the 2,504
million pesetas from 1998, gives
a positive balance of 3,843
million pesetas on the balance
sheet.
It should also be highlighted that
the Ministry of Health made a
payment of 1,768 million pesetas
in compensation for collaboration
in the area of health in 1998.

999 was a very good year

for Seguros Lagun-Aro and

with efforts having been
concentrated on risk selection,
the improvement of commercial
productivity in priority segments
and on claims management.
Income obtained from insurance

for both companies, of which
13,435

Other events worthy of mention,

* Commercial development, with
car insurance added to the range
of products sold through the

* Investment in new information

family income and the boom in
the building of homes, which
have boosted the sales of
domestic
appliances
and
furniture,
and
Industrial
Equipment, where the high
level of profitability of the
coach bodywork business
stands out.

999 began with the threat

of
an
international
economic crisis. However,
this fear was dispelled as the
year went on and the European
and Asian economies began to
recover.
In tune with this improvement
on the expectations, the
indicators for MCCs Industrial
Group gradually improved over
the
year.
The
good
performance of domestic sales
was complemented by the
recovery in exports in the
second half of the year, as the
result of the more favourable
international climate and the
gradual weakening of the euro,
which
increased
the
competitiveness of our products
compared with those from the
dollar zone.
The main achievements as far
as
the
Basic
Corporate
Objectives are concerned were
as follows:
Customer Satisfaction. In
1999 progress continued to be
made with this objective, with
the following among the
actions taken: improvement in
quality, reduction in delivery
time,
increasing
customer
loyalty and the redesign of
commercial processes.
As far as the quality of the
products and processes of the
co-operatives are concerned,
71 co-operatives now have
ISO 9000 certification and
most of them are also going on
to do an assessment based on
the EFQM methodology. In this
regard, it is worth highlighting
that the Department of Industry
of the Basque Government,
after an assessment carried out

by the Basque Foundation for

the Promotion of Quality
(Euskalit), awarded the Gold Q
prize to Irizar and the Silver Q
to Copreci and Fagor Electronica,
as these companies exceeded
500
and
400
points,
respectively, in the assessment.
It should also be highlighted
that, in order to optimise
customer service, the cooperatives operating in the
automotive
sector
have
continued
setting
up
manufacturing plants close to
where their customers are
located, specifically in Brazil,
Great Britain and the Czech
Republic.
Profitability. The positive
performance of demand in
1999 as a whole resulted in a
high use of the Groups
production
capacity.
This
together with other factors like
low interest rates and internal
cost control led to a 17%
increase in profits over the
year, with profitability over
sales in the order of 6.4%. The
divisions that performed best in
this regard were the Household

Internationalisation.
In
spite of the weakness of the
international economy during
the first half of the year,
with the plausible exception of
the United States, progress
continued to be made on the
strategic
objective
of
internationalisation.
The
Industrial Group achieved
international sales, exports plus
sales from production plants
abroad, totalling 213,491
million pesetas. This figure
represents a 16% increase over
the figure recorded in 1998,
leading to an increase in the
proportion of international
sales over total sales from
46.9% in 1998 to 47.6% in
1999.
At the end of 1999, the Industrial
Group had 23 manufacturing
plants abroad. The most
important events in 1999 were
the
incorporation
of
the
companies set up in Mercosur by
Promoauto, 50% of which was
acquired at the end of 1998, the
purchase
by
Fagor
Electrodomesticos of a majority
holding in the Polish domestic
appliance
manufacturer
Wrozamet, as well as the new
plants set up abroad by Maier
(Great Britain), Batz (Brazil),
Cikautxo (Czech Republic) and
Irizar (Mexico and an increase in
the existing investment in Brazil).

INDUSTRIAL GROUP
Development.
The
development of the Industrial
Group has been significant
over the last few years, with
turnover and equity having
doubled in five years.
Turnover in 1999 accounted
for 448,132 million pesetas,
with an increase of 14.5%
compared to 1998.
The most dynamic divisions
were Household Goods and
Engineering
and
Capital
Goods, which have benefited
from the positive situation in
terms
of
spending
and
investment, respectively. The
growth in the Construction
division also stood out. This
was due to the incorporation
of Ecotcnia, a Catalonian cooperative
producing
equipment for the renewable
energy sector.
The investments tackled by this
Group in 1999 accounted for
35,639 million pesetas, which
is 14% more than the
investment figures for 1998.
Industrial employment also
rose by 2,328 jobs taking
the total workforce to 21,913
people.
Three
new
cooperatives joined MCC in
1999: Consonni, engaged in
the manufacture of electric
heating elements, Domusa
Calefaccin, a manufacturer of
domestic
central
heating
boilers
and
Ecotcnia,
mentioned above.
Worker Participation. In
order to increase participation
in management, a method for
the Deployment of Objectives
has

developed

with

An extensive survey was also
carried out to assess people
satisfaction, and a boost was
given to the policy of
increasing the number of cooperative members compared
to the total workforce. This led
to increase of 1,582 in the

to 1998.

AUTOMOTIVE

The overall turnover of

the Division increased
slightly in comparison
with 1998 and international

characterised precisely by the
boost
given
to
internationalisation.
Among the actions taken, the
setting up of the company
Promoauto Desarrollo de
Automocin S.A., to coordinate and promote activities
in Mercosur, stands out. The
first of the projects to be
brought to fruition was Batz do
Brasil, which started the
production of jacks, pedal units
and brake levers in the town of
Taubat, close to Sao Paulo.
In Europe, Maier began work
on the construction of a factory
in Lichfield, near Birmingham,
with an investment of 2,500
million pesetas. Production is
planned to start in the second
half of 2000. The plant will
manufacture
external
thermoplastic car parts for car
makers in the United Kingdom
and north of France. The main
customer will be Nissan, as
well as Honda, Toyota and the
PSA group.
Cikautxo set up a production
plant in the north of the Czech
Republic to produce thermal
rubber
parts,
with
an
investment of 400 million
pesetas. Its aim is to supply the
German
automotive
and
domestic appliance markets
and facilitate the introduction
of its products into Eastern
European countries.

Germany. FIT Automocin will
invest 1,500 million pesetas
over the three-year period 19992001, doubling its production

The turnover of this

Division increased by
12% and its international
sales in a similar proportion. Just
as in 1998, the investments of the
Division played a strong role,
accounting for 6,168 million
pesetas and were earmarked for
an increase in the capacities of
the different lines of business, an
increase in productivity with
greater automation and the
development
of
internationalisation.
In the R&D area, a carbon
monoxide and methane sensor
based on sensors-semiconductors
and fuzzy logic was developed.
A project was also launched
within the framework of the
5th IST (Information Societies
Technology) programme, aimed
at developing intelligent chemical
sensors for gas manufactured
with low cost CMOS technology,
with integrated electronics and
sensitive hybrid layers.
In White Goods, Copreci
set up a joint venture with the
US company Burner Systems
International
(BSI),
to
manufacture subunits for the
cooking appliance sector, for the

S
market. In the Mexican plant in
Guadalajara,
there
was
investment to enable washing
machine components to be built
together with cooking appliance
components,
thereby
consolidating the activity of this
important factory.
In the area of R&D, an electronic

In the field of quality, mention
should be made of Copreci
being awarded the Silver Q
prize after obtaining more
than 450 points in the EFQM
assessment carried out by the
Basque Foundation for Quality
Assessors Club.
In the area of Home Comfort,
the inauguration of Orklis new
installations, coinciding with the
companys 25th anniversary,
stands out. They occupy 10,000 m2
and are engaged in the
production
of
ambient
temperature regulation and
control valves for domestic
central heating.
In R&D, an independent supply
system
using
photovoltaic
converters was developed for
gas domestic appliances and,
as part of the Eureka-Eurimus
Programme, work was carried
out on a microsystem to
guarantee efficient, low-emission
level combustion in gas boilers.

In R&D, the company made

significant advances in the
development of a electronification
project for domestic and homecomfort appliances, in the
regulation, control and safety
functions, in collaboration with
various Universities and Research
Centres.
Also in the field of R&D, the
development, as part of the Intek

n line with the dynamic

nature of the previous year,
the sales of this Division
increased by 26%, a figure
that includes the turnover of
the Catalonian co-operative
Ecotcnia, which joined MCC at
the beginning of the year.
In Lifts and Elevators, Orona
increased its sales by 24%, with
an excellent performance and the
consolidation of a lot of
investment in the industrial area.
On the domestic scene, important
projects were those completed at
La Bretxa market in San
Sebastian, the Son Moix stadium
in Palma in Majorca and La
Galera wharf in Algeciras. On
the international stage, Orona is
currently exporting to more than
40 countries, with a strong
increase forecast for 2000.
In Structures and Handling,
Urssa built the paper factories at
Condat in France, Zicuaga in
Hernani (Guipzcoa) and Saica3 in Burgo del Ebro (Saragossa).
Important projects were also
carried out in the iron and steel
industry, with the extension to the
Sidenor factory in Basauri, the
new plant in Vitoria and the one
for the furnace for Aristrain in
Olaberra.
In industrial buildings, the
following orders stand out: the
metal structure for the new
Mercedes-Benz factory in Vitoria,
to the value of 3,000 million
pesetas and the structure of a
number of buildings for the

In urban buildings, mention
should be made of the
companys participation in the
second phase of the Bilbao metro
and the building of the structural
dome for the Grantecan
telescope on the Canary Islands,
the biggest and most advanced
in the world. The lifting bridge in

Division built a number of sports
centres in Spain, as well as the
roof of the Science Museum in
Alcobendas. At the international
level, the company built the
pavilion inside the Millennium
Dome in London, the Inezgane
sports centre in Morocco and the
roof of Loughborough University
in the United Kingdom.
A special mention should be
given to Ecotcnias first year as
a member of MCC, in which the
company achieved a turnover of
6,310 million pesetas and won
numerous orders that will boost
its growth enormously. This will
be helped by the creation a
company to promote wind farms
in which bodies from the

as well as the construction of a
new assembly plant in Buuel
(Navarra), which will provide
work for 40 people. In
technological

performance of this
Division in 1999: on the one
hand, the order book levels
previously achieved led to a 20%
increase in turnover, with historic
sales levels totalling 42,000
million pesetas.
At the same time, demand in the
machinery
and
industrial
equipment sector fell, reversing
the upward trend of previous
years and affecting the forecasts
made for the Forming Machinery
and Automation and Control
subgroups.
In Automation and Control,
turnover was balanced in spite of
the recession in the sector, which
had a greater effect in USA and
Canada. The position was
different in the European Union
and there was a strong recovery
in South-east Asia.
Technological development was

Less satisfactory were the order
books for the Division as a
whole, which were at 65% of the

In Machine Tools, the 12%
reduction in orders won was
quite a lot lower than the 22%
average recorded by the sector
in Spain. However, the order
books only reached 62% of the

n 1999 the positive performance of consumer spending meant that the retail
sector had a satisfactory year,
which in the case of MCCs Distribution Group enabled the
quantitative targets to be met and
the Basic Objectives to be tackled with success.
Customer Satisfaction. In this
area work has been carried out
on the constant adaptation of
the stores, with an extensive
range of new products and
services that consumers can take
advantage of in the same
physical space that they do their
normal shopping. Some of these
new services are as follows: instore bakery, newspapers and
magazines, home shopping,
telephony, jewellery, sale of art

26

and culture, etc.

The cold meats and fruit sections
have obtained ISO 9002
certification and the ground has
been prepared for certification
for the fish section in 2000.
The Natur meat product range
was also presented. This range
provides full traceability of the
product, with identification of the
source of the items offered to
customers,
and
completely
guarantees quality.

vigorous and the Distribution

Group achieved an excellent
increase in sales of 20%, which
represents a gain in market
share to the detriment of other
competitors. The composition of
the Groups turnover has also
improved, with more growth
proportionally in fresh produce
and non-food items, which give
higher margins. This has led a
30% increase in profits.

The Travel Agency extended its

offer in the business services
segment, with the start up of a
24 hour service aimed at
guaranteeing
service
for
professionals in the sector.

Internationalisation.
The
Distribution Group operates
mainly in Spain. However, it is
also present in France, through its
subsidiary Sofides, which has
3 hypermarkets and a chain of
19 supermarkets.

Development.
The
concentration that the retail
business is undergoing means
that companies must acquire
sufficient size to be able to
compete in a sector in which
volume
greatly
determines
competitiveness.
In this regard, in 1999 MCCs
Distribution
Group
has
consolidated its alliance, which
came into force last year, with its
partners, to run and develop
supermarkets together. Moreover,
during the year 121 new
stores were opened together
with 17 travel agency branches.
The Distac, Disbor and Aundia
chains of stores were also taken
over.
Investment was very high, with
material and financial investment
to the value of 46,439 million
pesetas, 29% more than in
1998.
Worker Participation. The
policy of this Group is that,
like co-operative members,
the workers in its subsidiaries
should be worker-owners. By the
end of last year, 90% of Erosmer
Ibricas permanent workers
were members of this joint
business project.
The total workforce at the end of
the year came to 22,324 people,
with 2,142 new jobs created
during the year. 12,267 new
jobs have now been created over
the last five years.

An important aspect during the

year was the implementation
of a complete environmental
management system covering all
processes, from the use of raw
materials to the treatment of
waste. This has led to the first
environmental certification of a
hypermarket in Spain.

qualitative terms, especially
with Spanish farmers, with whom
agreements were reached for
the distribution of chicken, pork,
beef, potatoes, etc. in a year of
bad news for the sector.
However, more than 1,000 small
producers have found in the
Eroski hypermarkets Regional
Products Shop the outlet for their
local
farmhouse

characterised by their excellent

quality and high level of customer
acceptance.
Consumers, who are a priority
in the work of the Group,
benefited from a wide range
of educational activities in
which
282,000
people
participated. Special mention
should be made of the work
of the Consumer Committees
and the five Consumer Schools,
the
interactive
exhibitions,
aimed at encouraging healthy
habits and the organisation of
the
National
Housewives
Congress held in San Sebastian,
attended by 600 members of

the Group had 418,000
consumer members.
The Consumer magazine, with a
circulation of 300,000 copies
a month, continues to be a
required source of reference
for consumers. In the publishing
field, mention should also be
made of two guides published:

In the environmental area,
implementation of the Clean
Points in the hypermarkets for
recycling of materials was
started, an energy cogeneration
centre was set up at Quart
(Valencia), the use of reusable
containers became widespread
in the fruit and vegetable sections
and the Group participated in a
number
of
Environmental
Programmes promoted by the
Government. It should also be
mentioned that the Eroski
hypermarket
in
Pamplona
obtained
ISO
14.001
environmental certification and

was the first hypermarket to do

so. Several other stores are now
also
going
through
the
certification process.
This participation of the workers
in the ownership, management
and profits continues to be a
powerful way of involving the
workforce in the company and is
something that has a direct effect
on service quality and customer
satisfaction. This participation is
put into effect by the traditional
channels available to the Eroski
and Consum co-operatives and
the activity of Gespa, which is
the
company
or
general
partnership that enables the
workers of Erosmer Ibrica to
take a holding in their company.

In this context, training continued

to play a key role. 1.5% of
working time was dedicated
to training, which in absolute
terms was 308,089 hours,
7% more than in 1998.

The
consolidation of the catering

the takeover of the Jangarria S.L.

stand out. The performance and

should be highlighted, in what
was its first full year of business

In the horticultural area, a three-year
expansion plan was begun, with
one of the most important
investments in the sector in the
Basque Country. The installation of a

new 20,000 m2 greenhouse and

the construction of a sorting,
packing
and
conservation
warehouse, will help to improve
processed products.
In the qualitative sphere, audits
were successfully carried out
for maintaining ISO 9002
Quality Assurance certification
for compound feeds and the
central kitchens of the catering
activity. Likewise, the increasing
acceptance of the complete
service offered to the healthcare
sector should be underlined.
This has been boosted by
the increase in the number
of centres using the service

Cooperativa as at 31.12.99 are detailed below:

MCCs Balance Sheet at 31.12.99 showed a total

volume of assets under administration of close to
two billion pesetas, an increase of 109,613 million
pesetas over the year, which is 5.8% in percentage
terms.

Fixed Assets
At the end of 1999, MCCs fixed assets totalled
380,324 million pesetas, having increased by
43,903 million pesetas (13.1%) during the year.

Balance sheet growth was rather moderate

compared to the previous year, due to the
slowdown recorded by the Financial Group, whose
assets remained at practically the same level as at
the end of 1998.

Total investment made during the year accounted

for 86,838 million pesetas, with depreciations
rising to 38,268 million pesetas, which are
respective increases of 23% and 15% compared
to 1998.

Lagun Aros Funds

Lagun Aros Funds attributable to MCC, after
having separated the proportional part
corresponding to members from outside the
Corporation, totalled 218,217 million pesetas
at 31.12.99. This was an increase of 33,373
million pesetas over the year, as a result of
the capitalisation quotas and the excellent
retur ns obtained

Current Assets
The current assets heading is the largest element
of the net worth of the Corporation and underwent
growth totalling 65,710 million pesetas (4.2%) in
1999.
67% of this figure came from the Industrial Group,
and was due to the increase in turnover and
also to the fact that new co-operatives joined
the Corporation. The items that experienced
most growth in this Group were Customers and
Short-term Investments.

External Partners
The opening of new channels of expansion for
MCC, both on the domestic market and on
the inter national market, implies a gradual
increase in the participation of external
par tners in joint ventures.

In the Financial Group, which usually records

the highest growth in circulating assets, there
were compensator y movements between the
growth in Caja Laborals bank investment and
the cancellation of the government stock that
Lagun-Aro acquired by means of short term
borrowings. The net increase of this heading
in this Group was only 10,822 million pesetas
compared to 1998.

The capital holdings of these external

par tners are mainly to be found in companies
included in the consolidated statements
of the industrial co-operatives and the
distribution sector, to which should be added
the propor tional par t of members of Lagun-Aro
from outside the MCC co-operatives,mentioned
above.

Equity
Before going on to comment on this heading,
it should be pointed out that, unlike in other
editions of this Annual Report, it was decided to
change the way Lagun Aros Funds were dealt
with, by including them as a specific heading on
the MCC balance sheet.

The total for exter nal par tners accounted for

42,835 million pesetas at 31.12.99, an
increase of 6,026 million pesetas (16.4%)
over the year.

In homogenous terms, MCCs Equity was

considerably strengthened in 1999, registering
an increase of 46,012 million pesetas (16%).
This increase was due to the satisfactory
profitability for the year, together with the
demanding policy for capitalisation of surplus,
which is mainly reinvested to self-finance
development.

Long-term liabilities
The balance of MCC funding from third
par ties with a period of maturity of more
than one year under went growth of 102,854
million pesetas (59.6%) in 1999, to total
275,338 million pesetas at the end of
the year. 87% of the increase per tains to
Caja Laboral ter m deposits, which regained
the prominent role after having been given
way to unit trusts in 1998.

The most significant contribution to the

aforementioned increase came from the Industrial
Group, which increased its consolidated equity by
26,037 million pesetas, 57% of the MCC total.
This was due to the high level of profitability
attained and the incorporation of new cooperatives.

Lagun-Aros Matured Liabilities Reser ve Fund

should also be underlined in ter ms of size.
This ser ves to meet obligations contracted
with
members
receiving
capitalisation
benefits and at the end of 1999 totalled
87,048 million pesetas.

At the end of 1999, Equity totalled 334,232 million

pesetas, with 144,055 million corresponding to
Share Capital and the remaining 190,177 million to
Reserves.

offered in which a comparison is made of
the financial statements for the last two
years, after being structured on the basis of
t h e c o m p o s i t i o n o f Va l u e A d d e d .

Short-term liabilities
This balance sheet heading fell by 78,652
million pesetas (6.5%) during 1999. This
was totally due to the Financial Group, and
more specifically to Lagun Aro, which
recorded a 108,555 million peseta fall
in borrowings, due to the reduction in
borrowing
for
short-term
investment
objectives, already mentioned in the
comments on Current Assets.

T h e o v e r a l l Va l u e A d d e d g e n e r a t e d b y M C C
in 1999 increased by 6.8% to total
327,318 million pesetas. This growth
was moderated by the lower interest
rates in force in 1999, which meant
that the Financial Group recorded a
7.5% reduction in yield, although this was
subsequently offset by a reduction in
financial expenses.

Mention should also be made of the growth in

off-balance sheet savings schemes, mainly
Caja Laboral unit trusts, whose balance came
to 372,803 million pesetas at the end of
1999, after recording a 12% fall due to the
move towards traditional ter m deposits.

Added generated, which was an increase of

3 points compared to 1998. This was a result
of the fall in income of the Financial Group,
where the amount of value added accounted
for by personnel costs rose from 9.7% in
1998
to
11.1%
in
1999,
and
the
incorporation of new companies in the
Industrial and Distribution Groups, which
means that the comparison between the two
years is not totally homogenous.

The biggest par t of this Value Added was

generated by the Industrial Group, which
with 143,565 million pesetas accounted for
44% of the total. It was followed by
the Financial Group with 31%, with the
remaining
25%
corresponding
to
the
Distribution Group.
Personnel Costs rose by 13.7%, due to the
considerable creation of jobs in MCC.
Wages accounted for 48.9% of the Value

The downward trend in interest rates in 1998

continued in the first half of 1999, with
historic minimum rates for most of the year,
before they star ted to rise again towards the
end of the year. This was reflected in MCCs
accounts, as Financial Costs fell significantly
by 17.8% compared with 1998, due to a
large extent to the lower remuneration on
savings administered by the Financial Group.
This fall means that the amount of Value
Added ear marked for Financial Costs fell by
2.4 points compared to 1998, at 8.3%.

Non-trading income consists mainly of

transfers to provisions, minority partner
interests and other non-trading income, and
actuarial adjustments if required. The figure
for 1999 came to 9,829 million pesetas,
which was 42.8% lower than the figure for
1998.
Likewise, the trading profit is reduced by
the application of the technical interest rate to
L a g u n - A r o s r e s e r v e s i n o r d e r t o r e s t a t e
actuarial liabilities. As a result, the
application of this technical interest rate
meant a decrease of 15,669 million pesetas
in the profits for 1999, which is 16.4% more
than in 1998.

The depreciations recorded by MCC in 1999

totalled 38,268 million pesetas, with
y e a r- o n - y e a r g r o w t h o f 1 4 . 7 % , w h i c h i s
explained by the high level of investment.
It should be highlighted that the Distribution
Group now accounts for most of the
depreciation (17,651 million pesetas, 46.1%
of the total), followed ver y closely by the
Industrial Group (17,540 million, 45.8% of
the total).

Therefore, the Final Surplus on the year

totalled 76,479 million pesetas, which is an
improvement of 11% over the figure recorded
