  • Forward-looking statements are identified by words like "expects", "anticipates", "may", "plan," "target", "would", and "could".
  • 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.
  • 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 outside AXA’s control, which can cause actual results to differ materially.
  • Each forward-looking statement is valid only at the date of the presentation.
  • For important factors, risks, and uncertainties affecting AXA’s business and/or results, 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”).

  • Financial result: consists of investment income on assets backing BBA and PAA contracts as well as assets backing shareholder’s equity, net of the insurance finance expenses (IFE) defined as the unwind of the present value of future cash flow
  • 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)
  • New Business Value (NBV): the value of newly issued contracts during the current year
    • It consists of the sum of (i) the new business contractual service margin, (ii) the present value of the future profits of short-term newly issued contracts during the period, carried by Life entities, considering expected renewals, (iii) the present value of the future profits of pure investment contracts accounted for under IFRS 9, net of (iv) the cost of reinsurance, (v) taxes and (vi) minority interests

  • Present value of expected premiums (PVEP): the new business volume, equal to the present value at the time of issue of the total premiums expected to be received over the policy term
    • PVEP is discounted at the reference interest rate and PVEP is Group share
  • Technical experience: consists of the impacts on the underlying earnings if (i) the difference between the expected and incurred cash-flows of the defined period, (ii) the risk adjustment release, (iii) the changes in onerous contracts, and (iv) the other long-term elements which are mainly composed of non-attributable expenses
