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. AXA's 2025 Activity Report is available on AXA's website (www.axa.com).}} increased by 6% to Euro 8.4 billion, or +9% excluding AXA IM{{fn ref|3|2=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.}}, 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{{fn ref|14|2=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.

 

Underlying earnings per share{{fn ref|2|2=&quot;Underlying earnings&quot;, &quot;underlying earnings per share&quot;, &quot;underlying return on equity&quot;, &quot;combined ratio&quot; and &quot;debt gearing&quot; 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 (&quot;AXA's 2025 Activity Report&quot;), on the pages indicated under the heading &quot;USE OF NON-GAAP AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES&quot;. 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. 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.
