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 stockbased compensation. Dividend s and share buybacks are proposed by the Board, at its discretion based on a variety of factors described in AXA's 202 5 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.

"AXA delivered a strong start to the year, with topline growth across all business lines, fully aligned with our organic growth strategy. 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." (Alban de Mailly Nesle, Chief Financial Officer of AXA p. 1)

"In the context of a volatile macro environment, we operate from a position of strength, supported by a robust balance sheet, a Solvency II ratio of 211% and a high-quality investment portfolio. 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." (Alban de Mailly Nesle, Chief Financial Officer of AXA p. 1)
