Full Year 2009 Earnings

"In what has been the most severe financial crisis in recent decades, AXA has demonstrated its capacity to deliver results by remaining focused on its core business: insurance and asset management. AXA's commitment is to stand by its clients with financial protection and savings solutions.

2009 results confirm the strength of our business model, illustrated by the return of our solvency to pre-crisis levels and the strong rebound in our net income. Based on this solid performance, AXA's Management Board will propose to shareholders a 38% increase in dividend.

In spite of uncertainties around the macro-economic context and taking into account the evolution of the regulatory framework, AXA should benefit from favorable trends in the insurance and asset management markets, its leading brand, innovative products and improving quality of service.

The growth of the Group will be supported by the continued increase in exposure to emerging markets and the synergies generated by the new life and property & casualty global organization. Our 2010 priorities will also focus on optimizing margins in all business lines, through improvement of business mix in life, combined ratio in property & casualty, and net inflows in asset management."

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 remained resilient, down 3% to Euro 90,124 million (down 5% in 9M09).
  • Life & Savings revenues were down 4% to Euro 57,620 million (down 6% in 9M09). France, Italy and Germany experienced positive growth, whereas the US and the UK declined. In the US, product redesign actions generated a drop in market share.

Net inflows remained comparable to last year's level at Euro +8.6 billion, mainly driven by higher client retention.

New Business Value (NBV1) was up 5% to Euro 1,113 million, primarily due to improved product mix and financial market conditions partly offset by lower volumes (APE2 down 11% to Euro 6,188 million). New Business margin was up from 14.5% to 18.0%.

  • Property & Casualty revenues increased by 1% to Euro 26,174 million, driven by tariff increases, higher volumes in Personal lines (personal net new contracts amounted to +1,135,000) partly offset by lower volumes in Commercial lines.
  • Asset Management revenues were down 25% to Euro 3,074 million, mostly due to lower average assets under management (-18%) and unfavorable change in product mix (lower equity component). Assets under management reached Euro 845 billion, up Euro 29 billion vs. December 31, 2008 levels, benefiting from positive market appreciation, partly offset by net outflows mainly in institutional clients.

Earnings

  • Underlying Earnings were down 6% to Euro 3,854 million, as the recovery in Life & Savings (+51%) primarily due to improved Variable Annuity hedging margin was mitigated by Property & Casualty (-30%) impacted by an adverse market cycle and Asset Management (-41%) mainly as a result of lower average assets under management.
  • Adjusted Earnings were down 8% to Euro 3,468 million, mainly as a result of lower underlying earnings (net realized capital gains were comparable for FY08 and FY09).
  • Net Income was up 283% to Euro 3,606 million, as lower adjusted earnings were more than offset by a higher contribution from the change in value of assets and derivatives, net of foreign exchange and other items (Euro +137 million in FY09 vs. Euro -2,776 million in FY08), mainly due to credit spread tightening.

Dividend

A dividend of Euro 0.55 per share (up 38% vs. FY08) will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting that will be held on April 29, 2010. The dividend is expected to be paid on May 6, 2010 with an ex-dividend date of May 3, 2010.

Balance sheet

  • Shareholders' equity was Euro 46.2 billion, up Euro 8.8 billion, benefiting from Euro 2.4 billion capital increases, Euro 5.0 billion increase in net unrealized capital gains and Euro 3.6 billion net income for the period, partially offset by a Euro 1.0 billion increase in pension deficits and Euro 0.8 billion 2008 dividend payment.
  • Solvency I ratio was 171% post-dividend, up 44 points vs. December 31, 2008, notably benefiting from earnings (+18 points), capital increases (+11 points) and favorable market conditions, mainly on fixed income assets (+17 points) as a result of credit spreads tightening.
  • Debt gearing3 decreased by 8 points to 26% as a result of shareholders' equity increase and Euro 4.1 billion decrease in net financial debt.
  • Group EV was up Euro 11.8 billion from Euro 18.6 billion to Euro 30.4 billion, or up 49% to Euro 13.4 per share. Based on CFO Forum methodology (notably including non life intangibles and perpetual subordinated debt) Group EV would have been up Euro 12.8 billion to Euro 44.0 billion.

Non-GAAP measures such as Underlying Earnings and Adjusted Earnings are reconciled to Net Income on page 7 of this release. AXA's 2009 financial statements have been examined by the Supervisory Board on February 17, 2010 and are subject to completion of audit procedures by AXA's independent auditors.

(c) Including banking revenues down 3.2% to Euro 395 million in FY09 (vs. Euro 412 million in FY08).

Life & Savings

• Life & Savings revenues were down 4% to Euro 57,620 million (down 6% in 9M09). France, Italy and Germany experienced positive growth, whereas the US and the UK declined. In the US, product redesign actions generated a drop in market share.

Continued positive net inflows (Euro +8.6 billion) Net inflows remained comparable to last year's level at Euro +8.6 billion, with strong positive contributions across the board from both General Account (Euro +4.1 billion) and unit-linked (Euro +4.6 billion) businesses. The Euro 0.2 billion increase versus FY08 was due to higher client retention (Euro +5.4 billion) partly offset by lower inflows (Euro -4.0 billion) and an adverse Forex impact (Euro –1.1 billion).

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

  • New Business Volume (APE2) was down 11% to Euro 6,188 million, mainly due to:
  • (i) Adverse market environment:
    • Decline in individual investments & savings sales mainly in the US, Australia and the UK. In the US, product redesign actions generated a drop in market share
    • Decrease in group life sales in Switzerland as a result of limited client turnover in the market
  • (ii) Negative impact from one-off events, mainly in Japan (bankruptcy of a major independent agent) and Germany (non-recurring 2008 Riester incentive measures)
  • (iii) Partly offset by a solid performance in France, with positive developments in both group and individual businesses, Italy (Joint-Venture with BMPS) and high growth markets (Hong Kong, CEE and South East Asia).

Unit-linked share was down from 49% to 38% mainly in the US and the UK.

New Business Value up 5%

  • New Business Value (NBV1) was up 5% to Euro 1,113 million, primarily due to :
  • improved product mix (mainly due to VA product redesign in the US and higher protection sales in the UK, partially offset by lower unit-linked sales notably in France),
  • improved financial market conditions, partly offset by
  • lower volumes (APE2 down 11%).

As a result, New Business margin was up from 14.5% to 18.0%.

P&C revenues growth supported by tariff increases

Property & Casualty

Property & Casualty revenues increased by 1% to Euro 26,174 million, driven by tariff increases, higher volumes in Personal lines (personal net new contracts amounted to +1,135,000) partly offset by lower volumes in Commercial lines.

Revenues increased in Personal lines and decreased in Commercial lines:

• Personal Motor revenues (35% of total P&C revenues) were up 2.0% mainly driven by the UK (success of Swiftcover direct platform), Canada (volumes and tariff increase) and France (volumes and tariff increase) partly offset by Spain (drop in car sales and strong competition) and Germany (competitive pressure).

Asset Management revenues impacted by lower average assets under management (-18%)

Asset Management

  • Asset Management revenues were down 25% to Euro 3,074 million, mostly due to lower average assets under management (-18%) and unfavorable change in product mix (lower equity component).
  • Assets Under Management were up Euro 29 billion versus December 31, 2008 to Euro 845 billion4 mainly as a result of:
  • Net inflows: Euro -71 billion primarily in the institutional clients segment, following investment underperformance at AllianceBernstein in 2008 and for some AXA IM expertises in 2009,
  • Market impact: Euro +108 billion due to market recovery,

* Following AXA's rights issue in 4Q09, the average number of shares has been restated to take into account an adjustment factor of 1.023. In the average number of shares calculation, the adjustment factor has been applied on outstanding shares prior to the date of the capital increase leading to an adjustment on average number of shares of 48.4 million shares in 2009 and 47.7 million in 2008. As of December 31, 2009, total net outstanding number of shares was 2,264 million and average fully diluted number of shares was 2,133 million.

Underlying Earnings

  • Underlying Earnings were down 6% to Euro 3,854 million, as the recovery in Life & Savings (+51%) primarily due to improved variable annuity hedging margin was mitigated by Property & Casualty (-30%) impacted by an adverse market cycle and Asset Management (-41%) mainly due to lower average assets under management.
  • Life & Savings Underlying Earnings were up 51% to Euro 2,336 million.

Margin on revenues was flat8 at Euro 4,569 million as the decrease in revenues (-4%) was offset by higher margins (+3%) mainly resulting from an improved country mix (decrease of countries with lower exposure to high margin protection business).

Margin on assets was down 10%8 to Euro 4,635 million:

  • Unit-linked management fees were down 8%8 to Euro 1,822 million, mainly impacted by lower average reserves (-3%) as well as unfavorable country mix (-4%) following lower contribution from higher margin countries like France and the US.
  • General Account investment margin was down 14%8 to Euro 2,179 million, as a consequence of lower returns in the US, the UK and MedLA, as well as higher policyholders participation in Switzerland and France. Average General Account reserves were up 2%.
  • Other fees were stable8.

Technical margin was up Euro 1,8538 million to Euro 2,003 million, mainly benefiting from (i) Euro 1,411 million improvement in variable annuity hedging margin, mostly in the US, primarily as a result of significantly lower basis cost, lower financial market volatility as well as credit spreads tightening and gains from interest rate hedging partly offset by lower lapse assumptions, (ii) Euro 165 million one-off gain in the UK mainly as a result of internal restructuring of an annuity portfolio and (iii) Euro 68 million higher positive prior year reserve developments in Group lines in France, partly offset by (iv) Euro -103 million in Japan following reserve strengthening.

Expenses, net of DAC/DOC were up 5%8 to Euro 7,642 million, with administrative expenses up 2% and acquisition expenses up 9% mainly due to higher DAC amortization as a result of improved margins (notably technical margin in the US).

Expenses gross of DAC/DOC as a percentage of reserves were down from 1.8% to 1.7%.

VBI amortization was down 27%8 to Euro -363 million, driven by the UK, Australia and Hong-Kong.

Tax and minority interests were up 76%8 to Euro 864 million, mainly driven by higher pre-tax earnings. Positive tax one-offs amounted to Euro 129 million (slightly higher than FY08).

Rebound in Life & Savings Underlying Earnings

• Property & Casualty Underlying Earnings were down 30% to Euro 1,670 million, in an adverse market cycle with a combined ratio up 3.6 pts to 99.0%.

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

Loss ratio increased by 3.8 points to 70.9%. Excluding change in scope , the loss ratio increased by 3.7 points, as a result of:

  • +1.7 pts from natural catastrophes (in particular Klaus storm in continental Europe, floods in the UK and difficult winter conditions overall),
  • +1.7 pts current year loss ratio excluding natural events, with +2.1 pts impact from frequency and severity partly offset by -0.5 pt impact from price increases which started to be implemented,
  • +0.3 pt prior year reserve developments.

Reserving ratio9 stood at 187%, flat versus last year.

Expense ratio decreased by 0.2 point to 28.1% with acquisition expense ratio up 0.3 point, while administrative expense ratio was down 0.5 point mainly driven by the UK (cost savings initiatives).

Investment income10 was down 7% to Euro 2,062 million, reflecting a decrease in investment yield (-9%), partly offset by a higher average asset base (+2%).

Tax and minority interests were down 35% to Euro 659 million, due to lower pretax earnings. Positive tax one-offs amounted to Euro 61 million (in line with FY08).

Decreased P&C profitability in an adverse market cycle

Decrease in Asset Management Underlying Earnings

• Asset Management Underlying Earnings were down 41% to Euro 355 million mainly as a result of lower average assets under management.

AllianceBernstein Underlying Earnings were down 45% to Euro 185 million as the decrease in revenues (-29%) was partly offset by lower expenses (-13%11). Positive tax one-offs amounted to Euro 62 million (in line with FY08).

AXA Investment Managers Underlying Earnings were down 36% to Euro 171 million due to lower revenues (-17%) and the non repeat of 2008 carried interest one-off, partly offset by lower expenses (-14%11).

  • International Insurance Underlying Earnings were up 54% to Euro 286 million due to both AXA Corporate Solutions Assurance's performance and lower losses from Life run-off portfolio.
  • Banking Underlying Earnings were Euro -2 million (vs. Euro 33 million in FY08).
  • Holdings5 Underlying Earnings decreased by Euro 120 million on a comparable basis to Euro -793 million, mainly due to higher financing costs and lower result on hedging of earnings denominated in foreign currencies.

Adjusted Earnings

Stable realized gains net of impairments and derivatives

Adjusted Earnings were down 8% to Euro 3,468 million, mainly as a result of lower underlying earnings (net realized capital gains were comparable for FY08 and FY09).

FY09 realized capital gains amounted to Euro 725 million. Impairments amounted to Euro 1,028 million of which Euro 459 million on equities, Euro 316 million on fixed income assets and Euro 253 million on private equity, real estate and other. The change in intrinsic value of derivatives amounted to Euro -83 million.

Net Income

Credit spreads tightening positively impacting net Income

Net Income was up 283% to Euro 3,606 million, as lower adjusted earnings were more than offset by a higher contribution from the change in value of assets and derivatives, net of forex and other items (Euro +137 million in FY09 vs. Euro -2,776 million in FY08), mainly due to credit spreads tightening.

FY09 change in fair value amounted to Euro 612 million mainly as a result of:

  • (i) Euro +1,116 million impact from credit spreads
  • (ii) Euro -263 million mark to market of alternative assets, mainly Private Equity
  • (iii) Euro -403 million impact from equity derivatives, including Euro -381 million impact from equity hedging program in the US to protect the balance sheet

FY09 impact from exceptional and discontinued operations amounted to Euro -202 million mainly related to a tax impact following the planned sale of Australia & New Zealand businesses.

Other items (mainly integration costs, intangibles amortization and undiscounted tax adjustments) amounted to Euro -273 million.

Dividend

A dividend of Euro 0.55 per share (up 38% vs. FY08) will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting that will be held on April 29, 2010. The dividend is expected to be paid on May 6, 2010 with an ex-dividend date of May 3, 2010.

Shareholders' Equity & Solvency

• Shareholders' equity was Euro 46.2 billion, up Euro 8.8 billion as a result of Euro 5.0 billion higher level of net unrealized capital gains from both equities and fixed income, net income contribution for the period for Euro 3.6 billion and Euro 2.4 billion capital increases (o/w Euro 2.0 billion rights issue and Euro 0.4 billion employee Shareplan) partially offset by Euro 1.0 billion increase in pension deficits and 2008 dividend of Euro 0.8 billion.

Net unrealized gains on real estate & loans (not included in shareholders' equity) amounted to Euro 2.6 billion as of December 31, 2009.

• Solvency I ratio was 171% post-dividend (o/w 17 points from unrealized gains on fixed income assets) up 44 points vs. December 31, 2008, notably benefiting from earnings (+18 points), capital increases (+11 points, of which +9 points of rights issue) and favorable market conditions, mainly on fixed income assets (+17 points) as a result of credit spreads tightening. Solvency I ratio up 44 points to 171%

Indicative sensitivities to market movements are: -5 pts to -10% in equity markets, -6 pts to -10% in real estate markets, -2 pts to -10% in private equity market value.

On fixed income assets, sensitivities to market movements are: -7 pts to 10 bps increase in interest rates, -3 pts to 10 bps increase in credit spreads, with the combination of both impacts capped at -17 pts of Solvency.

Solvency II ratio (QIS4) amounted to ca. 185% as of December 31, 2009 (vs. ca. 150% as of December 31, 2008).

• Financial structure. Debt gearing down

8 pts to 26%

AXA's net financial debt was down Euro 4.1 billion to Euro 13.5 billion notably benefiting from Euro 2.4 billion capital increases as well as Euro 2.1 billion cash proceeds from equity hedges.

Debt gearing was down 8 pts benefiting from the decrease in net financial debt as well as higher shareholders' equity. Excluding the positive impact from the rights issue, AXA's debt gearing would have been 30%.

Interest coverage ratio was 7.9x (vs. 8.5x in FY08).

Invested assets

AXA's invested assets amounted to Euro 590 billion including Euro 403 billion in the General Account, invested in a diversified portfolio mainly comprised of fixed income investments (81%), real estate (5%), cash (5%) and listed equities (4%).

In 2H09, asset valuations:

  • Were stable for Real Estate and Private Equity
  • Increased for Equity, Corporate Bonds and ABS.

General Account movements included:

  • (i) Net inflows: investment in government bonds and corporate bonds
  • (ii) Cash position: decrease due to reinvestment in fixed income assets and impact from lower collateral on Variable Annuity hedges
  • (iii) Scope effect: €5bn of Australia & New Zealand assets reclassified as held for sale in FY09.

Market concern on some European government bonds: AXA's exposure net of policyholders' participation and tax was estimated at €4.0bn on Italy, €3.9bn on Spain, €0.9bn on Portugal, €0.6bn on Greece and €0.2bn on Ireland.

Total return was up Euro 25.2 billion to Euro 9.4 billion mainly as a result of financial markets recovery. The following is an estimated break-down of the investment experience impacts:

  • Equity market rebound: Euro +2.8 billion
  • Credit spreads tightening: Euro +1.7 billion
  • Higher interest rates: Euro +0.2 billion
  • Higher volatilities: Euro -0.3 billion

In 2009, the Group EV benefited from a Euro 2.6 billion impact from the use of a liquidity premium (ca. 30 bps on average) versus Euro 4.4 billion in 2008 (above 50 bps on average).
