Important legal information and cautionary statements concerning forward-looking statements and the use of non-gaap financial measures
Forward-looking statements
- Certain statements contained herein may be forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, statements that are predictions of or indicate future events, trends, plans, expectations or objectives, and other information that is not historical information.
- Forward-looking statements are generally identified by words and expressions such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “may”, “plan,” “target” or any variations or similar terminology of these words and expressions, or conditional verbs such as, without limitations, “would” and “could”.
- In particular, the statements in this presentation regarding expected underlying earnings per share (“UEPS”) growth for 2026 are forward-looking statements to provide one-off guidance in the context of the last year of the Group’s current strategic plan.
- These statements in this presentation are based on Management’s current views and intentions and are subject to change.
- Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because, by their nature, they are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside AXA’s control, and can be affected by other factors that could cause AXA’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements.
- Each forward-looking statement speaks only at the date of this presentation.
- Please 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 a description of certain important factors, risks and uncertainties that may affect AXA’s business and/or results of operations.
- AXA specifically disclaims and undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether to reflect new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws and regulations.
Non-GAAP financial measures
- In addition, this presentation refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, or alternative performance measures (“APMs”), used by Management in analyzing AXA’s operating trends, financial performance and financial position and providing investors with additional information that Management believes to be useful and relevant regarding AXA’s results.
- These non-GAAP financial measures generally have no standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similarly labelled measures used by other companies.
- As a result, none of these non-GAAP financial measures should 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 such APMs to the most closely related line item, subtotal, or total in the financial statements of the corresponding period (and/or their calculation methodology, as applicable) in its Activity Report as of December 31, 2025 (“AXA’s 2025 Activity Report”), on the pages indicated under the heading “USE OF NON-GAAP AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES”.
- For further information on the above-mentioned and other non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation, see the Glossary in AXA’s 2025 Activity Report.
Additional information
- 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 procedure by AXA’s statutory auditors.

Glossary
- Capital-light G/A products: encompass all products with no guarantees, with guarantees at maturity only or with guarantees equal to or lower than 0%
- Contractual Service Margin (CSM): a component of the carrying amount of asset or liability for a group of insurance contracts representing the unearned profit to be recognized as services are provided to policyholders
- CSM release: a portion of CSM stock net of reinsurance at the end of the defined period flowing through profit and loss representing the estimated profit earned by the insurer for providing insurance services during the reporting period
- Economic variance: corresponds to the variance of the year-end CSM arising from changes in market conditions, net of the underlying return on in-force
- 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
- New Business Contractual Service Margin (NB CSM): a component of the carrying amount of the asset or liability for newly issued insurance contracts during the period, representing the unearned profit to be recognized as insurance contract services are provided
- New Business Value margin (NBV margin): ratio of (i) NBV, representing the value of newly issued contracts during the current year, to (ii) PVEP
- Operating variance: the variation of the year-end CSM versus the expected at opening due to (i) the differences between realized and expected operational assumptions, (ii) changes in assumptions such as mortality, longevity, lapses and expenses, and (iii) impact of model changes. Operating variance is net of reinsurance
- 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 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
- Underlying return on in-force: represents the release of Time Value of Options & Guarantees (TVOG) plus the unwind of CSM at the reference rate plus the underlying financial over-performance
