* Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (+13%) mainly driven by Türkiye from higher average premiums, along with favorable volume and price effects in Mexico; and |
|||
* 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: |
|||
* Europe (+5%) from favorable price effects across geographies, except in UK & Ireland Motor, where pricing softened following strong repricing in 2024; |
|||
* Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (+14%) driven by Türkiye from higher average premiums and volumes; and |
|||
* 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. |

== 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”.

(+4%) from both higher volumes, notably at AXA XL Insurance, and favorable price effects 12(footnote: Price effects are calculated as a percentage of total gross written premiums of the prior year.) 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

All figures excluding AXA IM are given at constant foreign exchange rates.), 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) Holdings 14(footnote: Including banking activities.) 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.

AXA's 2025 Activity Report is available on AXA's website (www.axa.com).) 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.

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.

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(footnote: Estimated based on the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) and the amount of capital under Solvency II as of January 1, 2026, as if the Solvency II revision had come into force on the same date.) .

The Group's debt gearing was in line with its 19-23% plan guidance for 2024-2026.

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(footnote: Subject to approval by the Shareholders' Annual General Meeting to be held on April 30, 2026.) . 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 authorizatio n 17 . 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 earnthrough 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(footnote: Natural catastrophe charges include natural catastrophe losses regardless of event size.) 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(footnote: Expected underlying earnings per share ('UEPS') growth for 2026 is a forward -looking statement to provide one-off guidance in the context of the last year of the Group's current strategic plan and is qualified by the cautionary statements in this press rel ease regarding forward-looking statements.) , (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(footnote: Subject to annual Board and Shareholders' Annual General Meeting approvals and absent (1) for share buybacks, any significant earnings event (i.e., significant deviation in the Group's underlying earnings) and (2) for dividends, the occurrence of a signifi cant capital event (i.e., event that significantly deteriorates Group solvency). Board discretion includes taking into account AXA's earnings, financial condition, applicable c apital and solvency requirements, prevailing operating and financial market conditions and the general economic environment.) , targeting a total payout ratio of 75%20(footnote: Payout ratio is calculated based on underlying earnings per share.) , 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.

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:
- 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;
- Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (+13%) mainly driven by Türkiye from higher average premiums, along with favorable volume and price effects in Mexico; and
- 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:
- Europe (+5%) from favorable price effects across geographies, except in UK & Ireland Motor, where pricing softened following strong repricing in 2024;
- Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (+14%) driven by Türkiye from higher average premiums and volumes; and
- 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:
- Unit-Linked (+13%) driven by successful sales initiatives across all geographies;
- G/A13(footnote: General account.) (+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
- 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.
Present value of expected premiums (PVEP)1,21 decreased by 2% to Euro 49.4 billion driven by:
- Life (+1%), from higher volumes in Hong Kong, France, and Switzerland, partly offset by impact of higher interest rates on discounting of future premiums; and
- Health (-12%), mainly from the impact of higher interest rates on discounting of future premiums, and lower volumes in France following underwriting and pruning actions.

These and other terms, including but not limited to contractual service margin ('CSM') and new business contractual service margin ('NB CSM'), are defined in the glossary section of this press release.)21(footnote: Life & Health net flows, PVEP, CSM, NB CSM, NBV, and NBV margin include Health business predominantly written in Life entities.) increased by 3% to Euro 2.2 billion driven by strong sales in Savings and Protection, partly offset by the impact of higher interest rates on discounting of future profits.
NBV (post-tax)1(footnote: Change in gross written premiums & other revenues, new business value ('NBV') and present value of expected premiums ('PVEP') is on a comparable basis (constant forex, scope and methodology), unless otherwise indicated.

NBV margin (post tax)1(footnote: Change in gross written premiums & other revenues, new business value ('NBV') and present value of expected premiums ('PVEP') is on a comparable basis (constant forex, scope and methodology), unless otherwise indicated.

Net flows21(footnote: Life & Health net flows, PVEP, CSM, NB CSM, NBV, and NBV margin include Health business predominantly written in Life entities.) were Euro +5.4 billion compared to Euro +1.5 billion in 2024. Net flows in 2025 were driven by:
- Protection (Euro +4.9 billion), mainly in Hong Kong, Japan, and France;
- Health (Euro +2.7 billion), mainly in Germany, Japan, and France; and
- Unit-Linked (Euro +1.5 billion), primarily in France;
- Partly offset by G/A Savings (Euro -3.7 billion), as inflows in G/A capital-light (Euro +1.2 billion) were more than offset by outflows in traditional G/A Savings (Euro -5.0 billion).
Life & Health underlying earnings increased by 7% to Euro 3.5 billion, driven by:
- Long-term technical result (Euro +0.2 billion) driven by an increase in CSM release, following both growth in reserves and better margins in the long-term business;
- Short-term technical result (Euro +0.1 billion) driven by the expansion of technical margin reflecting pricing, underwriting and claims management actions to strengthen technical excellence across geographies, which more than offset the impact of a legislative change on the recoverability of value added tax in Mexico (Euro -0.1 billion);
- Lower income taxes (Euro +0.1 billion) reflecting favorable tax effects mainly in Germany, France and Mexico; and
- Lower contribution from affiliates, notably ICBC-AXA and improved results at AXA MPS that resulted in an increase in earnings of minority shareholders.
Holdings
Holdings underlying earnings14(footnote: Including banking activities.) remained broadly stable at Euro -1.2 billion.

Glossary
- Capital-light G/A products: encompass all products with no guarantees, with guarantees at maturity only or with guarantees equal to or lower than 0%.
- Contractual service margin ("CSM"): a component of the carrying amount of the asset or liability for a group of insurance contracts representing the unearned profit to be recognized as services are provided to policyholders.
- CSM release: the portion of CSM stock net of reinsurance at the end of the defined period flowing through profit and loss representing the estimated profit earned by the insurer for providing insurance services during the reporting period.
- Economic variance: the variance of the year-end CSM arising from changes in market conditions, net of the underlying return on in-force.
- Financial result: investment income on assets backing Building Block Approach (BBA) and Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) contracts as well as assets backing shareholder's equity, net of the insurance finance expenses (IFE) defined as the unwind of the present value of future cash flow.
- Gross written premiums and other revenues: insurance premiums collected during the period (including risk premiums, premiums from pure investment contracts with no discretionary participating features, fees and revenues, net of commissions paid on assumed reinsurance business). Other Revenues represent premiums and fees collected on activities other than insurance (i.e. banking, services, and asset management activities).
- New business contractual service margin ("NB CSM"): a component of the carrying amount of the asset or liability for newly issued insurance contracts during the period, representing the unearned profit to be recognized as insurance contract services are provided.
- New business value ("NBV"): the value of newly issued contracts during the current year. It consists of the sum of (i) the NB CSM, (ii) the present value of the future profits of Short-Term Business newly issued contracts during the period, carried by Life entities, considering expected renewals, and (iii) the present value of the future profits of pure investment contracts accounted for under IFRS 9, net of (iv) the cost of reinsurance, (v) taxes and (vi) minority interests.
- New business value margin ("NBV Margin"): the ratio of (i) NBV representing the value of newly issued contracts during the current year to (ii) PVEP.
- Operating variance: the variation of the year-end CSM vs the expected at opening due to (i) the differences between realized and expected operational assumptions, (ii) changes in assumptions such as mortality, longevity, lapses and expenses, and (iii) impact of model changes. Operating variance is net of reinsurance.
- Present value of expected p remiums ('PVEP'): the new business volume, equal to the present value at the time of issue of the total premiums expected to be received over the policy term. PVEP is discounted at the reference interest rate and PVEP is Group share.
- Technical experience: consists of the impacts on the underlying earnings of (i) the difference between the expected and incurred cash-flows incurred in the defined period, (ii) the risk adjustment release, (iii) the changes in onerous contracts and (iv) the other long-term elements which are mainly composed of non-attributable expenses.
- Underlying return on in-force: the release of the time value of options & guarantees plus the unwind of CSM at the reference rate plus the underlying financial over-performance.

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.
