Total gross written premiums and other revenues¹ were up 6%, driven by: Property & Casualty (+5%), with growth in (i) Commercial lines¹¹ (+4%) from both higher volumes, notably at AXA XL Insurance, and favorable price effects¹² across all geographies, in (ii) Personal lines (+7%), driven by favorable price effects and strong growth in net new contracts, notably in France, Europe and Asia & EME-LATAM, and at (iii) AXA XL Reinsurance (+8%), with growth supported by alternative capital; and Life & Health (+8%), with (i) Life premiums up 9%, driven by Protection (+11%) from strong sales in Hong Kong, Switzerland and Japan, Unit-Linked (+13%) from higher volumes across all geographies, and G/A¹³ (+4%), from continued momentum in Italy and France, and (ii) Health premiums up 5%, driven by price effects in all geographies.

Earnings

Underlying earnings² increased by 6% to Euro 8.4 billion, or +9% excluding AXA IM³, driven by (i) Property & Casualty (+9%), from higher volumes, underwriting margin expansion and an increase in financial result driven by higher investment income, and (ii) Life & Health (+7%), from an improvement in the short-term technical results in Health & Protection, and higher earnings in long-term business, including from early benefits of our strategy to rejuvenate the business. (iii) Holdings¹⁴ underlying earnings remained broadly stable at Euro -1.2 billion. (iv) As a result of the disposal of AXA IM on July 1, 2025, Asset Management underlying earnings decreased by Euro 0.2 billion.

Underlying earnings per share² increased by 8% to Euro 3.86, mainly driven by (i) the increase in underlying earnings (+6%) and a decrease in interest expense on undated and deeply-subordinated debt, and (ii) the impact of share buybacks (+3%) including both the annual share buyback program and the anti-dilutive share buyback associated with the sale of AXA IM, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of (iii) foreign exchange rate movements, notably the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro (-2%).

The sale of AXA IM resulted in a temporary dilution of underlying earnings per share due to the timing of the associated share buyback (-1%).

Net income increased by 26% to Euro 9.8 billion, mainly reflecting the increase in underlying earnings and significantly positive exceptional items, notably the gain from the sale of AXA IM.

Balance sheet

Shareholders' equity was Euro 47.2 billion as of December 31, 2025, down by Euro 2.8 billion versus December 31, 2024, as (i) the positive contribution from net income (Euro +9.8 billion) and net OCI (Euro +1.3 billion) were more than offset by (ii) the FY24 dividend paid to shareholders (Euro -4.6 billion), (iii) the impact of share buybacks executed in 2025 (Euro -4.7 billion) including the Euro 3.5 billion anti-dilutive share buyback related to the sale of AXA IM, and (iv) an unfavorable foreign exchange impact (Euro -3.5 billion), notably due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar.

CSM^1,15 was Euro 33.3 billion at December 31, 2025, down by Euro 0.6 billion versus December 31, 2024. New business contribution (Euro +2.2 billion), combined with underlying return on in-force (Euro +1.3 billion), more than offset CSM release (Euro -3.0 billion), resulting in +2% normalized growth in CSM. Market conditions had a favorable impact, mainly driven by the tightening of government spreads and positive equity market performance (Euro +0.6 billion). This was more than offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts (Euro -1.5 billion), mainly from the depreciation of Japanese yen and the Hong Kong dollar, as well as a negative operating variance (Euro -0.3 billion) as better margins and net flows were more than offset by a reduction in the duration of Group Life business in Switzerland.

Solvency II ratio⁵ was 224% as of December 31, 2025, up +9 points versus December 31, 2024, with (i) a strong operating return (+28 points) net of the provision for dividend and annual share buyback (-24 points), (ii) the positive impact from net subordinated debt issuance (+6 points), and (iii) favorable impacts from financial markets (+4 points), which were partly offset by (iv) the net impact of the acquisitions of Nobis and Prima, and the disposal of AXA IM including the associated Euro 3.8 billion share buyback (-5 points).

As of January 1, 2026, capital instruments and subordinated debt subject to Solvency II transitional measures ('grandfathered debt') no longer qualified as eligible own funds. The impact of this change results in a -10 point decrease in our Solvency II ratio to 215% on January 1, 2026. In addition, the Group currently estimates that the Solvency II revision, to come into effect in the first quarter of 2027, would result in an increase of +17 points to our current Solvency II ratio¹⁰.

Underlying return on equity² was at 16.0% as of December 31, 2025, up 0.8 point versus December 31, 2024, notably from higher underlying earnings and lower shareholders' equity.

Debt gearing² was at 22.3% as of December 31, 2025, up 1.7 points versus December 31, 2024, driven by both lower shareholders' equity and CSM, as well as the issuance of Restricted Tier 1 and Tier 2 subordinated debt (Euro 3.5 billion) partly offset by redemption of outstanding grandfathered Tier 1 debt (Euro -1.9 billion). The Group's debt gearing was in line with its 19-23% plan guidance for 2024-2026.

Cash at Holding¹⁶ amounted to Euro 5.6 billion as of December 31, 2025, up Euro 1.6 billion versus December 31, 2024, reflecting organic cash remittance from subsidiaries of Euro 7.5 billion, up Euro 0.4 billion versus December 31, 2024.

Capital management and outlook

Capital management

A dividend of Euro 2.32 per share (up 8% versus FY24) will be proposed at the Shareholders' Annual General Meeting on April 30, 2026⁷. The dividend is expected to be paid on May 13, 2026, with an ex-dividend date on May 11, 2026.

AXA's Board of Directors approved, on February 25, 2026, the launch of an annual share buyback program for up to Euro 1.25 billion, to be executed in accordance with the terms of the applicable Shareholders' Annual General Meeting authorization¹⁷. AXA intends to cancel all shares repurchased pursuant to this share buyback program.

The share buyback program is expected to commence as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to market conditions, and it is expected to be completed by year-end. Further details will be communicated regarding the execution of the share buyback program.

Outlook

Entering the final year of its 2024-2026 'Unlock the Future' plan, AXA is confident in its ability to achieve its main financial targets, underpinned by (i) profitable organic growth, (ii) scaling technical capabilities across its businesses, and (iii) driving operational efficiency across the organization through reinforced cost management.

In P&C Retail and SME & Mid-market, pricing remains favorable, and the Group expects to continue benefiting from the earn-through of higher pricing and underwriting actions. At AXA XL, pricing conditions vary by line; the Group will continue to ensure effective cycle management and disciplined capital allocation, growing where returns exceed the cost of capital. The Group guidance for normalized natural catastrophe¹⁸ load remains at ca. 4.5 points of combined ratio for 2026.

In Life & Health, earnings growth is expected to be driven by the short-term business reflecting disciplined pricing and claims management initiatives. The strategy to rejuvenate sales in the long-term business, coupled with improved persistency, should continue to generate positive net flows that are expected to drive CSM growth over time.

Results in Holdings in 2026 are expected to remain at a similar level as in 2025.

Considering the strong overall operating performance delivered in 2025, and assuming current operating conditions persist, Management believes that AXA is on track to deliver the main financial targets of AXA's 'Unlock the Future' plan: (i) underlying earnings per share growth at the upper end of the 6-8% CAGR target range for both the plan period 2023-2026E and for 2026⁹, (ii) underlying return on equity between 14% and 16% between 2024 and 2026E, and (iii) cumulative organic cash upstream in excess of Euro 21 billion for 2024-2026E. The Group is committed to its capital management policy¹⁹, targeting a total payout ratio of 75%²⁰, comprising a 60% dividend payout ratio and an additional 15% from annual share buybacks. The proposed dividend per share in a given year is expected to be at least equal to the dividend per share paid in the prior year.

Property & Casualty

Gross written premiums & other revenues were up 5% to Euro 58.0 billion.

Commercial lines grew by 4% to Euro 35.8 billion, driven by: o AXA XL Insurance (+3%) from growth in lines with attractive margins, including in Property, and in Casualty from both favorable price effects and higher volumes, partly offset by lower pricing and volumes in Financial lines; o Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (+13%) mainly driven by Türkiye from higher average premiums, along with favorable volume and price effects in Mexico; and o France (+6%) from favorable price effects in all lines of business and higher volumes. Personal lines grew by 7% to Euro 19.7 billion, driven by: o Europe (+5%) from favorable price effects across geographies, except in UK & Ireland Motor, where pricing softened following strong repricing in 2024; o Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (+14%) driven by Türkiye from higher average premiums and volumes; and o France (+9%) with strong volume growth in all lines of business, both from direct business and proprietary agent networks, combined with favorable price effects in Motor. AXA XL Reinsurance grew by 8% to Euro 2.6 billion, driven by growth supported by alternative capital and favorable price effects in Casualty partly offset by a softening in other lines.

The all-year combined ratio improved by 0.3 point to 90.6%, mainly driven by: Lower undiscounted current year loss ratio excluding natural catastrophe (-0.3 point) from further margin expansion in (i) Commercial lines (-0.5 point), driven by the SME & mid-market business (-0.9 point) in a favorable pricing environment, while margins at AXA XL Insurance were stable at attractive levels (+0.1 point), as well as in (ii) Personal lines (-0.4 point) in a conducive pricing environment; Lower expense ratio (-0.3 point) primarily from lower non-commission expense ratio reflecting efficiency gains; and Lower natural catastrophe charges (-0.4 point to 3.4%) more than offset by lower prior years' reserve development (+0.7 point at -1.1%).

P&C underlying earnings were up 9% to Euro 5.9 billion driven by:

Increase in technical result (Euro +0.5 billion) reflecting strong growth in volumes, combined with an improvement in technical margin; and Higher financial result (Euro +0.2 billion) thanks to higher volumes and reinvestment yields on fixed income assets, more than offsetting the increase in the unwind of the discount of claims reserves; Partly offset by higher income taxes (Euro -0.2 billion) mainly due to higher pre-tax underlying earnings.

Life grew by 9% to Euro 37.5 billion, mainly from: o Unit-Linked (+13%) driven by successful sales initiatives across all geographies; o G/A¹³ (+4%) notably in France (+4%) as well as from elevated sales of a capital-light product in Italy, partly offset by the non-repeat of elevated sales of a single premium whole-life product in Japan, and lower sales in Hong Kong; and o Protection (+11%), notably from a commercial campaign on a Protection with G/A product in Hong Kong and continued good sales of Protection with Unit-Linked product in Japan and Switzerland. Health grew by 5% to Euro 19.0 billion, driven by favorable price effects in both Group and Individual businesses across most geographies, partly offset by lower volumes.

Important legal information and cautionary statements concerning forward-looking statements and the use of non-GAAP financial measures

Certain statements contained herein may be forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, statements that are predictions of or indicate future events, trends, plans, expectations or objectives, and other information that is not historical information. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by words and expressions such as 'expects', 'anticipates', 'may', 'plan' or any variations or similar terminology of these words and expressions, or conditional verbs such as, without limitations, 'would' and 'could'. In particular, the statements in this press release regarding expected underlying earnings per share ('UEPS') growth for 2026 are forward-looking statements to provide one-off guidance in the context of the last year of the Group's current strategic plan. These statements and the others contained in the 'Outlook' section of this press release are based on Management's current views and intentions and are subject to change. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because, by their nature, they are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside AXA's control, and can be affected by other factors that could cause AXA's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only at the date of this press release. Please refer to Part 5 'Risk Factors and Risk Management' of AXA's Universal Registration Document for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the '2024 Universal Registration Document') for a description of certain important factors, risks and uncertainties that may affect AXA's business and/or results of operations. AXA specifically disclaims and undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether to reflect new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws and regulations.

In addition, this press release refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, or alternative performance measures ('APMs'), used by Management in analyzing AXA's operating trends, financial performance and financial position and providing investors with additional information that Management believes to be useful and relevant regarding AXA's results. These non-GAAP financial measures generally have no standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similarly labelled measures used by other companies. As a result, none of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Group's consolidated financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with IFRS. 'Underlying earnings', UEPS ('underlying earnings per share'), 'underlying return on equity', 'combined ratio' and 'debt gearing' are APMs as defined in ESMA's guidelines and the AMF's related position statement issued in 2015. AXA provides a reconciliation of such APMs to the most closely related line item, subtotal, or total in the financial statements of the corresponding period (and/or their calculation methodology, as applicable) in its Activity Report as of December 31, 2025 ('AXA's 2025 Activity Report'), on the pages indicated under the heading 'USE OF NON-GAAP AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES'. For further information on the above-mentioned and other non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, see the Glossary in AXA's 2025 Activity Report.
