"This performance underscores the continued robust expansion of our P&C businesses in both Retail and Commercial, with growth well balanced between pricing and volumes, while Life & Health revenues reflect the continuation of last year's strong momentum." p. 1

This gives us strong resilience and flexibility. We remain confident in our ability to deliver underlying earnings per share growth for 2026 at the top end of our target range and to sustain growth beyond the current plan. p. 1

Solvency II ratio (%) (footnote: The Solvency II ratio is estimated primarily using AXA’s internal model calibrated based on an adverse 1/200 years shock. It includes a theoretical amount for dividends and share buybacks accrued for the first three months of 2026, based on the full-year dividend of Euro 2.32 per share to be paid in 2026 for FY25 and annual share buyback of Euro 1.25 billion announced on February 26, 2026. Annual share buybacks exclude anti-dilutive share buybacks related to certain disposals and in-force management transactions, as well as share buybacks to offset dilutive effects relating to employee share offerings and stock- based compensation. Dividends and share buybacks are proposed by the Board, at its discretion based on a variety of factors described in AXA’s 2025 Universal Registration Document and then submitted to AXA’s shareholders for approval. This estimate should not be considered in any way to be an indication of the actual dividend and share buyback amounts, if any, for the 2026 financial year. For further information on AXA’s internal model and Solvency II disclosures, please refer to AXA Group’s Solvency and Financial Condition Report (SFCR) as of December 31, 2024, available on AXA’s website (www.axa.com).) 224% 215% 211% -4pts
