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 p. 2.
- Forward-looking statements are identified by words like 'expects', 'anticipates', 'may', 'plan,' 'target', 'would', and 'could' p. 2.
- 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 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 outside AXA's control p. 2.
- Factors could cause AXA's actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied p. 2.
- Each forward-looking statement speaks only at the date of this presentation p. 2.
