Earnings presentation
- Full Year 2025 Earnings Presentation
Important legal information and cautionary statements concerning forward-looking statements and the use of non-gaap financial measures
[c. 2; p. 2]
Forward-looking statements and non-GAAP measures
- Certain statements in the presentation are 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," "target", 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 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 speaks only as of the presentation date.
- 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 important factors, risks, and uncertainties.
- AXA disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws and regulations.
- The presentation refers to non-GAAP financial measures or alternative performance measures ("APMs") used by Management for analyzing operating trends, financial performance, and position.
- These non-GAAP financial measures generally have no standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similarly labeled measures used by 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 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".
- Further information on non-GAAP financial measures is available in the Glossary of AXA's 2025 Activity Report.
- AXA's Activity Report as of December 31, 2025 is available on the AXA Group website (www.axa.com).
- AXA's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 were examined by the Board of Directors on February 25, 2026, and are subject to completion of an audit by AXA's statutory auditors.

- Gross Written Premiums and Other Revenues (GWP & Other Revenues): represent the 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).
