Important legal information and cautionary statements concerning forward-looking statements and the use of non-GAAP financial measures
- Forward-looking statements: This presentation contains statements that are predictions of or indicate future events, trends, plans, or objectives. They are identified by words like 'expects', 'anticipates', 'may', 'plan,' 'target', or conditional verbs like 'would' and 'could' p. 2.
- A specific example is the statement regarding expected underlying earnings per share (UEPS) growth for 2026, which is provided as one-off guidance for the final year of the current strategic plan p. 2.
- These statements are based on management's current views and are subject to change. They involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many outside of AXA's control, which could cause actual results to differ materially p. 2.
- For a description of important risk factors, refer to Part 5 'Risk Factors and Risk Management' of AXA's Universal Registration Document for the year ended December 31, 2024 p. 2.
- AXA disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise these statements, except as required by law p. 2.
- Non-GAAP financial measures: The presentation uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, or alternative performance measures (APMs), to analyze operating trends and financial performance p. 2.
- These measures may not be comparable to those used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for IFRS financial statements p. 2.
- Examples of APMs include "Underlying earnings", UEPS ("underlying earnings per share"), "underlying return on equity", "combined ratio", and "debt gearing", as defined by ESMA guidelines and the AMF's 2015 position statement p. 2.
- Reconciliation of these APMs to IFRS measures can be found in AXA's 2025 Activity Report, with further details in the Glossary p. 2.

- The end of the grandfathering period is driven by EUR 2.4bn in grandfathered debt no longer being eligible as capital from that date.
- No change is expected in organic capital generation from the Solvency II revision.
- The revision provides additional capital flexibility.
- The impact is estimated based on the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) and amount of capital (EOF) under Solvency II as of January 1, 2026, as if the revision had come into force on that date.

- 3. Economic maturity takes into account the first date of step-up calls on institutionally placed subordinated debt. For Solvency 2 RT1 debt, which has no step-up, the undated nature of the instrument is retained for this diagram. This should not be construed as an indication that the instrument will not be called for redemption when callable, as such decisions depend on capital, liquidity, and refinancing economics at the time p. 32
