|||
====== Forward-looking statements and non-GAAP measures ====== |
|||
{{chunk|doc=chq99br5nr|c=44|p=12}} |
|||
* Statements in this press release may be forward-looking, including predictions of future events, trends, plans, expectations, or objectives, and non-historical information. |
|||
* Forward-looking statements are identified by words like ‘expects’, ‘anticipates’, ‘may’, ‘plan’, or conditional verbs such as “would” and “could”. |
|||
* Statements regarding expected '''underlying earnings per share''' ("UEPS") growth for 2026 are forward-looking, providing one-off guidance for the last year of the Group’s current strategic plan. |
|||
* These statements, including those in the "Outlook" section, are based on Management’s current views and intentions and are subject to change. |
|||
* Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements due to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many outside AXA’s control, which could cause actual results to differ materially. |
|||
* Each forward-looking statement is valid only at the date of this press release. |
|||
* 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 details on factors, risks, and uncertainties affecting AXA’s business and/or results. |

|||
* These non-GAAP financial measures generally have no standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similarly labeled measures from other companies. |
|||
* Non-GAAP financial measures should not 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 APMs to the most closely related line item, subtotal, or total in financial statements (and/or their calculation methodology) in its Activity Report as of December 31, 2025 (“AXA’s 2025 Activity Report”), under the heading “USE OF NON-GAAP AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES”. |

[c. 3; p. 1] Gross written premiums and underlying earnings

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.): EUR 116bn, up +6% vs. FY24
- Underlying earnings2(footnote: 'Underlying earnings', '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'.

- Underlying earnings per share2(footnote: 'Underlying earnings', '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'.

AXA's 2025 Activity Report is available on AXA's website (www.axa.com).): EUR 3.86, up +8% vs. FY24
- Underlying earnings per share was impacted by a -2% headwind from foreign exchange movements
- Underlying earnings per share was impacted by a -1% temporary earnings dilution from the sale of AXA IM due to timing of anti-dilutive share buyback4(footnote: On July 1, 2025, AXA executed a share repurchase agreement with an investment services provider, whereby AXA carried out a program to buyback its own shares for a maximum amount of Euro 3.8 billion to offset the earnings dilution from the sale of AXA Investment Managers to BNP Paribas, as announced on August 1, 2024. The share buyback commenced on July 2, 2025, and ended on January 20, 2026, resulting in a temporary earnings dilution as of December 31, 2025.)
[c. 4; p. 1] Solvency II ratio

The Solvency II ratio as of December 31, 2025 is adjusted to give effect to the full up to Euro 1.25 billion annual share buyback program and proposed Euro 2.32 per share dividend announced today.): 224% at December 31, 2025, up +9 points vs. FY24
- Solvency II ratio: 215% on January 1, 2026, reflecting the end of the grandfathering period6(footnote: Capital instruments and subordinated debt subject to Solvency II transitional measures were grandfathered until January 1, 2026, at which point they ceased to qualify as capital under Solvency II, as disclosed in AXA's press release on its 9M25 Activity Indicators, published on www.axa.com.)

- Expected impact of Solvency II revision is +17 points10(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.)
- AXA will present its new strategic plan for 2027-2029 on September 21, 2026

AXA's 2025 Activity Report is available on AXA's website (www.axa.com).) increased by 6% to EUR 8.4bn.
- Underlying earnings increased by +9% excluding AXA IM3(footnote: AXA completed the disposal of AXA IM to BNP Paribas on July 1, 2025. All figures excluding AXA IM are given at constant foreign exchange rates.).
- Property & Casualty: +9% from higher volumes, underwriting margin expansion, and increased financial result due to higher investment income.
- Life & Health: +7% from improved short-term technical results in Health & Protection, and higher earnings in long-term business, including early benefits from strategy to rejuvenate the business.
- Holdings14(footnote: Including banking activities.) underlying earnings remained broadly stable at EUR -1.2bn.
- Asset Management underlying earnings decreased by EUR 0.2bn due to the disposal of AXA IM on July 1, 2025.
- Underlying earnings per share2(footnote: 'Underlying earnings', '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'.

AXA's 2025 Activity Report is available on AXA's website (www.axa.com).) increased by 8% to EUR 3.86.
- This increase was mainly driven by:
- Increase in underlying earnings (+6%) and a decrease in interest expense on undated and deeply-subordinated debt.
- Impact of share buybacks (+3%), including the annual share buyback program and the anti-dilutive share buyback associated with the sale of AXA IM.
- This was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of 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 (-1%) due to the timing of the associated share buyback.
[c. 11; p. 2] Net income
- Net income increased by 26% to EUR 9.8bn.
- This increase mainly reflects the increase in underlying earnings and significantly positive exceptional items, notably the gain from the sale of AXA IM.
Balance sheet
[c. 12; p. 3] Shareholders' equity and CSM
- Shareholders' equity was EUR 47.2bn as of December 31, 2025, down EUR 2.8bn versus December 31, 2024.
- The decrease in shareholders' equity was due to: FY24 dividend paid to shareholders (EUR -4.6bn), impact of share buybacks in 2025 (EUR -4.7bn) including the EUR 3.5bn anti-dilutive share buyback related to the sale of AXA IM, and an unfavorable foreign exchange impact (EUR -3.5bn) notably from USD depreciation.
- These negative impacts on shareholders' equity were partly offset by positive contributions from net income (EUR +9.8bn) and net OCI (EUR +1.3bn).
- CSM1(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. 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.)15(footnote: Including P&C. Please see Appendices of the FY25 earnings presentation available at www.axa.com for indicative sensitivities impacting CSM. These sensitivities, together with any other sensitivities contained in the Appendices, are based on management's current assessment in connection with the full -year 2025 annual results. These sensitivities are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements in the presentation concerning forward looking statements and have not been audited or subject to a limited review by AXA's statutory auditors.) was EUR 33.3bn at December 31, 2025, down EUR 0.6bn versus December 31, 2024.
- CSM saw +2% normalized growth, driven by new business contribution (EUR +2.2bn) and underlying return on in-force (EUR +1.3bn), which more than offset CSM release (EUR -3.0bn).
- Market conditions had a favorable impact on CSM (EUR +0.6bn), mainly from tightening government spreads and positive equity market performance.
- These positive impacts on CSM were more than offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts (EUR -1.5bn), mainly from the depreciation of JPY and HKD, and a negative operating variance (EUR -0.3bn) due to a reduction in the duration of Group Life business in Switzerland despite better margins and net flows.
[c. 13; p. 3] Solvency II ratio
- Solvency II ratio5(footnote: The Solvency II ratio is estimated primarily using AXA's internal model calibrated based on an adverse 1/200 years shock.

The Solvency II ratio as of December 31, 2025 is adjusted to give effect to the full up to Euro 1.25 billion annual share buyback program and proposed Euro 2.32 per share dividend announced today.) was 224% as of December 31, 2025, up +9 points versus December 31, 2024.
- The increase in Solvency II ratio was due to: strong operating return (+28 points) net of dividend provision and annual share buyback (-24 points), positive impact from net subordinated debt issuance (+6 points), and favorable financial markets impacts (+4 points).
- These positive impacts were partly offset by the net impact of the acquisitions of Nobis and Prima, and the disposal of AXA IM including the associated EUR 3.8bn 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, resulting in a -10 point decrease in the Solvency II ratio to 215%.
- The Group estimates that the Solvency II revision, effective Q1 2027, would increase the current Solvency II ratio by +17 points10(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 increase in debt gearing was driven by lower shareholders' equity and CSM, as well as the issuance of Restricted Tier 1 and Tier 2 subordinated debt (EUR 3.5bn), partly offset by redemption of outstanding grandfathered Tier 1 debt (EUR -1.9bn).
- The Group's debt gearing was in line with its 19-23% plan guidance for 2024-2026.
- Cash at Holding16(footnote: Including cash and liquid invested assets at AXA SA Holding and other central holdings.) amounted to EUR 5.6bn as of December 31, 2025, up EUR 1.6bn versus December 31, 2024.
- This increase in cash at Holding reflects organic cash remittance from subsidiaries of EUR 7.5bn, up EUR 0.4bn versus December 31, 2024.

- G/A13(footnote: General account.): +4% notably in France (+4%) and from elevated sales of a capital-light product in Italy
- G/A was partly offset by non-repeat of elevated sales of a single premium whole-life product in Japan and lower sales in Hong Kong
- 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 +5% to EUR 19.0bn, driven by favorable price effects in both Group and Individual businesses across most geographies, partly offset by lower volumes.

- Short-term technical result more than offset the impact of a legislative change on the recoverability of value added tax in Mexico (EUR -0.1bn)
- Lower income taxes: EUR +0.1bn reflecting favorable tax effects mainly in Germany, France and Mexico
