  • Full Year 2025 Earnings Presentation p. 1
  • February 26, 2026 p. 1

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

  • Certain statements are forward-looking, including predictions of future events, trends, plans, expectations, or objectives, and are identified by words like 'expects', 'anticipates', 'may', 'plan,' 'target' or conditional verbs such as 'would' and 'could' p. 2.
  • Statements regarding expected underlying earnings per share ('UEPS') growth for 2026 are forward-looking statements providing one-off guidance for the last year of the Group's current strategic plan p. 2.
  • These statements are based on Management's current views and intentions and are subject to change p. 2.
  • 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 p. 2.
  • Each forward-looking statement speaks only at the date of this presentation p. 2.
  • 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 important factors, risks, and uncertainties p. 2.
  • AXA disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws and regulations p. 2.
  • This presentation refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, or alternative performance measures ('APMs'), used by Management for analyzing operating trends, financial performance, and financial position p. 2.
  • These non-GAAP financial measures generally have no standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similarly labeled measures used by other companies p. 2.
  • 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 p. 2.
  • 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 p. 2.
  • 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) 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' p. 2.
  • For further information on non-GAAP financial measures, see the Glossary in AXA's 2025 Activity Report p. 2.
  • AXA's Activity Report as of December 31, 2025 is available on the AXA Group website (www.axa.com) p. 2.
