Full Year 2008 Earnings Resilient operating performance in a challenging environment

"The 2008 financial market turmoil was unprecedented and had a significant impact upon our industry. In this adverse environment, AXA was not immune, but remained resilient, with:

  • Strong underlying earnings of Euro 4 billion, above FY06 level, notably benefiting from an increased contribution from our Property & Casualty business with a record combined ratio level of 95.5%
  • A solid balance sheet, with solvency, debt and liquidity positions at comfortable levels
  • Resilient revenues with continued high positive net inflows in Life and Savings (above Euro+8 billion) as well as more than 1 million net new individual contracts in Property & Casualty"

"2009 will be another challenging year, in light of the current global economic environment. Our confidence in the performance of AXA going forward is supported by the increasing engagement of our employees, the trust of our clients, the financial flexibility and diversification of the Group and our operating profit resilience through turbulent times."

Henri de Castries, Chairman of AXA's Management Board

All comments are on a comparable basis (constant Forex, scope and methodology for activity indicators and constant Forex for earnings)

Revenues

  • Total Revenues were resilient, down 2% to Euro 91,221 million.
  • Life & Savings revenues were down 4% to Euro 57,977 million, including an 8% decrease in 4Q08, in a context of adverse market conditions.

Net inflows were positive (Euro +8.4 billion) including Euro +0.6 billion in 4Q08.

New Business Volume (APE1) was down 9% to Euro 6,789 million with unit-linked share down from 54% to 49%. New Business Value (NBV) margin was down 8 pts to 15%, principally as a result of adverse financial markets.

  • Property & Casualty revenues increased by 3% to Euro 26,039 million, driven by higher volumes both in Personal and Commercial lines.
  • Asset Management revenues were down 14% to Euro 3,947 million, due to 11% lower management fees mainly driven by lower average assets under management (-8%), unfavorable change in product mix and performance fees, as well as a reduced contribution from distribution fees. Net outflows amounted to Euro -28 billion.

Earnings

  • Underlying Earnings were down 17% to Euro 4,044 million, at the upper end of the previously announced Management guidance, as the decrease in Life & Savings (-43%) mostly due to the higher cost of hedging for US variable annuity products was partly offset by a strong increase in Property & Casualty (+31%) benefiting from an improvement in combined ratio (down 1.9 pts to 95.5%), and an increase in Asset Management (+6%).
  • Adjusted Earnings were Euro 3,699 million, as a result of (i) lower underlying earnings, (ii) Euro +792 million net realized capital gains, (iii) Euro -2,773 million impairments (mostly equities), partially offset by (iv) Euro +1,636 million profit on equity hedges2.
  • Net Income was Euro 923 million mainly as a result of (i) lower adjusted earnings, (ii) Euro -859 million change in fair value of ABS, equities and alternatives and (iii) negative mark-to-market impacts related to corporate bonds (Euro -1,507 million) and balance sheet hedging items (Euro -222 million).

Excluding "non economic" mark-to-market impacts, Net Income would have been Euro 2,796 million.

Dividend

A dividend of Euro 0.4 per share will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting that will be held on April 30, 2009, reflecting a 25% pay-out ratio, which is a balance between prudent capital management and our long-term guidance (40-50%). The dividend will be payable on May 12, 2009 with an ex-dividend date of May 7, 2009.

Balance sheet

  • Shareholders' equity was Euro 37.4 billion, down Euro 8.2 billion notably due to a Euro 5.1 billion lower level of net unrealized capital gains notably on equities (down Euro -4.7 billion to Euro +0.5 billion).
  • Solvency I surplus was Euro 6 billion (127% coverage ratio) post dividend. Going forward, this surplus, fuelled by future earnings and capital management initiatives, should allow AXA to absorb further shocks.
  • Capital Management: Authorizations to issue preferred shares will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting on April 30, 2009, to increase Group financial flexibility if necessary. Resolutions would authorize issuances to the AXA Mutual companies and/or issuances with or without preferential rights, up to an aggregate maximum issue amount of Euro 2 billion.
  • Group EV, taking into account certain new CFO Forum guidelines, was Euro 31.1 billion (including Euro 12.5 billion of Value of in Force) versus restated Euro 50.6 billion (including Euro 22.8 billion of Value of in Force) in FY07.

Non-GAAP measures such as Underlying Earnings and Adjusted Earnings are reconciled to Net Income on page 7 of this release. AXA's 2008 financial statements are subject to completion of audit procedures by AXA's independent auditors.

Life & Savings

• Life & Savings revenues were down 4% to Euro 57,977 million, including an 8% decrease in 4Q08, in a context of adverse market conditions.

Net inflows were positive (Euro +8.4 billion) including Euro +0.6 billion in 4Q08. The decrease versus FY07 was due to lower inflows (Euro -3 billion) partly offset by higher client retention (Euro +2 billion), and adverse Forex impact (Euro -2 billion).

Decreasing momentum in 2H08, but positive Life & Savings net inflows

  • New Business Volume (APE) was down 9% to Euro 6,789 million, mainly due to:
  • Resilience in continental Europe:
    • France: strong performance in Health offsetting negative trends in the French Investment & Savings market (notably unitlinked business),
    • NORCEE: record year in Group business in Switzerland and continuous growth in CEE, offsetting decrease in Belgium,
    • MedLA: mainly driven by Spain with traditional savings products, partly offset by a decrease in low margin index-linked products in Italy.
  • A decrease in most other markets:
    • The US: combination of less favorable Variable Annuity market in 2H08 and anticipated decline in Universal Life business further to product repricing,
    • The UK: lower onshore and offshore bonds as a result of fiscal changes and client demand for less risky products,
    • Asia Pacific: mutual funds market decrease in Australia/NZ following favorable legislative change in 2007 and negative market conditions in 2008, as well as change in tax regulations for certain Term products in Japan.

  • Commercial lines were up 3.3% with Motor (7% of total P&C revenues) up 2.6% and Non-Motor (32% of total P&C revenues) up 3.4%, driven by France (notably construction business) and MedLA (notably health business in Mexico and Gulf region).

Revenues driven by lower average Assets Under management (-8%)

Asset Management

  • Market appreciation: Euro -261 billion due to adverse market conditions,
  • Net inflows: Euro -28 billion with a negative contribution from AllianceBernstein in all its client segments while AXA Investment Managers remained positive due to its institutional clients (including AXA),

Underlying Earnings

Higher hedging costs of Variable Annuity secondary guarantees

  • Underlying Earnings were down 17% to Euro 4,044 million, at the upper end of previously announced Management guidance, as the decrease in Life & Savings (-43%) mostly due to the higher cost of hedging of US variable annuity products was partly offset by a strong increase in Property & Casualty (+31%) benefiting from an improvement in combined ratio (down 1.9 pts to 95.5%), and an increase in Asset Management (+6%).
  • Life & Savings Underlying Earnings were down 43% to Euro 1,508 million.

Margin on revenues was up 3%8 to Euro 4,281 million as the decrease in revenues (-4%) was offset by higher margins (+7%) resulting from an improved business mix (notably due to higher relative contribution from protection business in Japan and France) as well as a favorable country mix (higher contribution to revenues from Australia & New Zealand).

Margin on assets was down 6%8 to Euro 5,052 million:

  • Unit-linked management fees were down 10%8 to Euro 1,952 million, impacted by lower average reserves (-8%) as well as unfavorable evolution of margins (-3%) notably in France and in the UK.
  • General Account investment margin was stable8 at Euro 2,507 million, as the higher average reserves (+1%) were offset by reduced margins (-1%).
  • Other fees were down 12%8 as a result of lower mutual funds under management.

Technical margin was down from Euro 1,409 million to Euro -51 million, exceptionally impacted by Variable Annuity hedging margins with a loss of Euro -1,322 million (or Euro 0.6 billion post tax and DAC reactivity) notably resulting from basis risk and volatility.

Expenses, net of DAC/DOC were stable8 at Euro 6,862 million, with acquisition expenses down 4% in line with revenues and administrative expenses up 4%.

VBI amortization was up 25%8 to Euro -440 million, driven by the UK, the US and Japan.

Tax and minority interests were down 63%8 to Euro 472 million mainly driven by lower pre-tax earnings.

Combined ratio improved by 1.9 pts to 95.5%

• Property & Casualty Underlying Earnings were up 31% to Euro 2,394 million benefiting from an improvement in combined ratio (down 1.9 pts to 95.5%).

Total P&C 97.6 95.5 -1.9 pts

(a) Mediterranean and Latin American Region: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Mexico, Gulf region, Greece and Morocco.

Loss ratio improved by 2.7 points to 67.1%, benefiting from the non-recurrence of 2007 natural catastrophe events (floods in the UK and Kyrill storm in continental Europe) partly offset by some large claims in Property business, as well as favorable prior year reserve developments.

Reserving ratio9 stood at 187%, down versus last year, mainly as a result of payment of 2007 natural catastrophes, change in scope and country mix as well as positive prior year reserve developments.

Expense ratio increased by 0.7 point to 28.4% with acquisition expense ratio down 0.1 point largely driven by the UK where commission rates were renegotiated with delegated brokers, while administrative expense ratio was up 0.8 point mainly driven by Germany (notably from a one-off pension cost) as well as the UK (IT projects).

Investment income10 was up 13% to Euro 2,253 million mainly reflecting both a higher average asset base (+4%) and increased investment yield.

Tax and minority interests were up 33% to Euro 1,012 million due to higher pretax earnings.

Asset Management Underlying Earnings up 6%

• Asset Management Underlying Earnings were up 6% to Euro 589 million with AllianceBernstein up 9% and AXA Investment Managers up 3%.

AllianceBernstein Underlying Earnings were up 9% to Euro 318 million as the decrease in pre-tax Underlying Earnings (-19%) notably driven by lower revenues was more than offset by a favorable one-off tax impact (Euro +62 million).

AXA Investment Managers Underlying Earnings were up 3% to Euro 271 million, as lower revenues were more than offset by positive non-recurring carried interest (Euro +74 million) and a positive tax item (Euro +24 million).

  • International Insurance Underlying Earnings were down 21% to Euro 188 million as AXA Corporate Solutions Assurance's increased contribution was more than offset by AXA RE's decline in run-off contribution.
  • Banking Underlying Earnings were down 8% at Euro 33 million.
  • Holdings5 Underlying Earnings decreased by Euro 272 million on a comparable basis to Euro -668 million, mainly due to higher financing costs from acquisitions, USD depreciation impact as well as lower level of favorable tax items.

Adjusted Earnings

Equity impairments mitigated by equity hedging programs Adjusted Earnings were Euro 3,699 million, as a result of (i) lower underlying earnings, (ii) Euro +792 million net realized capital gains, (iii) Euro -2,773 million impairments (mostly in equities), partially offset by (iv) Euro +1,636 million profit on equity hedges.

Realized capital gains amounted to Euro 792 million, including Euro 698 million on equities, mostly achieved in 1H08.

Impairments amounted to Euro -2,773 million, of which Euro -1,836 million on equities and Euro -503 million on Fixed Income Assets, mostly booked in 2H08.

Equity hedges had a positive impact of Euro 1,636 million including Euro 744 million of time value of options unwound subsequent to the closing.

Net Income

Corporate spread widening impacting Net Income

Net Income was Euro 923 million mainly as a result of (i) lower adjusted earnings, (ii) Euro -859 million change in fair value of ABS, equities and alternatives and (iii) negative mark-to-market impacts related to corporate bonds (Euro -1,507 million) and balance sheet hedging items (Euro -222 million).

Excluding "non economic" mark-to-market impacts, Net Income would have been Euro 2,796 million.

Dividend

A dividend of Euro 0.4 per share will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting that will be held on April 30, 2009, reflecting a 25% pay-out ratio, which is a balance between prudent capital management and our long-term guidance (40-50%). The dividend will be payable on May 12, 2009 with an ex-dividend date of May 7, 2008.

Shareholders' Equity & Solvency

• Shareholders' equity was Euro 37.4 billion, down Euro 8.2 billion notably due to a Euro 5.1 billion lower level of net unrealized capital gains notably on equities (down Euro -4.7 billion to Euro +0.5 billion).

Net unrealized gains on real estate & loans (not included in shareholders' equity) amounted to Euro 3.4 billion as of December 31, 2008.

• AXA's European consolidated solvency surplus was Euro 6 billion (or 127% coverage ratio) post dividend. Going forward, this surplus, fuelled by future earnings and capital management initiatives, should allow AXA to absorb further shocks. Indicative sensitivities to further shocks are: -3 pts to -10% in equity markets, -3 pts to 1% credit defaults, -6 pts to -10% in real estate markets, -2 pts to -10% in private equity market value. Euro 6 billion solvency I surplus

Additional financial flexibility

  • Capital Management: four shareholders' resolutions allowing the Management Board to issue preferred shares up to an aggregate maximum issue amount of Euro 2 billion will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting comprising:
  • An authorization to issue preferred shares reserved for the AXA Mutual companies
  • Two authorizations to issue preferred shares with and without preferential subscription rights
  • Approval of required amendments to AXA's statuts related to these preferred shares

The dividend on the preferred shares will be decided at the time of issuance and will be equal to 1.2x–1.8x the dividend to be paid on ordinary shares subject to a floor of 6/8% and a cap of 10/14% of the issue price.

• Financial structure remained relatively stable with a 35% debt gearing3 and a strong liquidity position.

Invested assets

AXA's invested assets amounted to Euro 560 billion including a Euro 390 billion General Account, invested in a diversified portfolio mainly comprised of fixed income investments (77%), cash (8%), real estate (5%) and listed equities (4%).

Changes in General Account allocation included:

  • Increased corporate bond exposure from 33% to 35%, to capture the higher level of spreads currently available
  • Lower economic equity exposure from 9% to 4% to reduce balance sheet sensitivity to current volatile equity markets
  • Significant increase in cash position from Euro 19 billion to Euro 32 billion
  • Reduced ABS positions from Euro 16 billion to Euro 11 billion driven by lower valuations11

Group Embedded Value

• In order to reinforce alignment with CFO Forum recommendations, FY08 Group Embedded Value ("Group EV") calculation methodology has been changed and corresponds to (i) Life and Savings EEV, (ii) plus shareholders' equity of other businesses. In addition, a 50 bps illiquidity premium (except 100 bps in the U.S.) has been included in the projections.

• Market consistent EV is highly sensitive to financial market conditions and reflects the full negative impact of lower asset basis due to the drop in equity markets and the widening of corporate spreads, combined with the very low interest rates curves used in the projection. There are no offsetting effects such as assuming return to the mean, as frequently done in alternative valuation techniques.

Operating return was down Euro 0.6 billion to Euro 6.2 billion as a result of lower NBV, impacted by adverse market conditions.

Total return was down Euro 21.6 billion to Euro -15.6 billion mainly as a result of adverse financial market conditions of Euro -22.1 billion. The following is an estimated break-down of the investment experience impacts:

  • Lower interest rate: Euro -1 billion
  • Equity market drop: Euro -12 billion
  • Higher volatility: Euro -2 billion
  • Corporate spread widening: Euro -7 billion
  • Other: Euro -1 billion

We remain confident in the face of a challenging 2009 Outlook

As we look forward to 2009, a lower starting asset base will affect the Life & Savings and our Asset Management businesses, whereas the Property & Casualty and International Insurance businesses should continue to deliver solid underlying earnings.

* * *

Our confidence in the performance of AXA going forward is supported by the increasing engagement of our employees, the trust of our clients, the financial flexibility and diversification of the Group and our operating profit resilience through turbulent times.
