Full Year 2010 Earnings Proposed dividend per share up 25%

  • Solid set of results and robust balance sheet drive proposed dividend per share up 25%
  • Substantial increase in new business margins in mature markets and strong sales development in high growth markets
  • Strategic and organizational initiatives implemented in 2010 to improve AXA's profile and positioning in the future

"In 2010, despite an environment which remained challenging throughout the year, AXA delivered a solid set of results with a strong improvement in new business profitability, a rebound in adjusted earnings and an increase in operating free cash flows. On this basis, AXA's Board of directors will propose a 25% increase in dividend to shareholders", said Henri de Castries, Chairman and CEO of AXA.

"2010 was also characterised by significant strategic moves and organizational changes. I would emphasize in particular our decisive developments in high growth markets, the partial sale of our life operations in the UK, the ramp up of our new organization by business line and the changes in our senior management teams."

"In 2011, AXA should benefit from an improving macro-economic outlook. In this context, our main business objectives will be to accelerate profitable growth and deliver productivity gains across business lines to support value creation and the improvement of group operating free cash flows, while successfully pursuing the reallocation of our capital towards growth oriented geographies or business segments."

All comments are on a comparable basis (constant Forex, scope and methodology for activity indicators and constant Forex for earnings). 2010 APE and NBV of the sold UK operations are excluded from reported figures.

Revenues

  • Total Revenues were down 1% to Euro 90,972 million (+1% on a reported basis).
  • Life & Savings revenues were down 3% to Euro 56,923 million.

APE1 was down 2% to Euro 5,780 million, with lower sales mainly in France, Japan and the US, partly offset by strong performance in the UK (retained business only), SEA & China, Hong-Kong and CEE. High growth markets2 APE grew by 25%.

Net inflows remained strong at Euro +8.4 billion with increases over FY09 mainly in Japan and CEE and decreases mainly in France and the US. High growth markets2 showed strong net inflows amounting to Euro +1.9 billion (up Euro 0.5 billion vs. FY09).

New Business Value (NBV3) was up 12% to Euro 1,290 million, primarily due to improved product mix mainly benefiting from product redesign in the US and Japan.

As a result, New Business margin significantly increased from 18.0% in FY09 to 22.3% in FY10.

  • Property & Casualty revenues increased by 1.3% to Euro 27,413 million as the 3.9% growth in Personal lines (largely driven by a 3.8% average price increase) was partly offset by a 2.8% decrease in Commercial lines, where the 2.1% average price increase was more than offset notably by lower volumes from selective underwriting and reduced sum insured. Overall, the average price increase was 3.1%.
  • Asset Management revenues were up 5% to Euro 3,328 million, mainly driven by higher average assets under management (up 3% vs. FY09). Assets Under Management of Euro 878 billion were up Euro 33 billion versus December 31, 2009, benefiting from positive market and forex impacts, partly offset by net outflows mainly from institutional clients.

Earnings

  • Underlying Earnings were down 3% to Euro 3,880 million. Life & Savings Underlying Earnings grew by 1% driven by an improving investment margin and higher average unit-linked assets partly offset by a decrease in net technical margin mainly on Variable Annuity. Property & Casualty Underlying Earnings decreased 2% following a slight increase in combined ratio, up 0.2 pt to 99.1% (Current Year combined ratio improved by 2.0 pts more than offset by 2.2 pts lower positive prior year reserve developments). In Asset Management, Underlying Earnings fell by 26% mainly as a result of both a non-recurring 2009 tax benefit and a net provision in 2010 related to losses arising from AXA Rosenberg coding error, partly offset by higher average assets under management.
  • Adjusted Earnings increased strongly by 20% to Euro 4,317 million, benefiting from both higher realized capital gains and lower impairment charges.
  • Net Income was down 26% to Euro 2,749 million. Excluding the Euro 1,642 million exceptional loss related to the partial sale of the UK Life operations, net income was up 18% to Euro 4,391 million, mainly benefiting from higher Adjusted Earnings.

Group Embedded Value (EV), free cash-flow & Dividend

  • Group EV was up Euro 3.7 billion to Euro 34.2 billion, or up 11% to Euro 14.9 per share.
  • Group Operating Free Cash Flow4 was up from Euro 3.1 billion to Euro 3.7 billion.
  • A dividend of Euro 0.69 per share (up 25% vs. FY09) will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting that will be held on April 27, 2011. The dividend is expected to be paid on May 4, 2011 with an ex-dividend date of April 29, 2011.

Balance sheet

  • Shareholders' equity was Euro 49.7 billion, up Euro 3.5 billion vs. December 31, 2009, benefiting from Euro 1.5 billion increase in net unrealized capital gains, a positive Euro 1.0 billion from forex movements net of hedging instruments and Euro 2.7 billion net income for the period, partly offset by Euro 1.3 billion 2009 dividend payment and by Euro 0.4 billion increase in pension deficits.
  • Solvency I ratio was 182% post-dividend, up 11 points vs. December 31, 2009, notably benefiting from Underlying Earnings (+17 points) partly offset by proposed dividend (-7 points).
  • Economic capital ratio increased from 167% as at December 31, 2009 to ca. 175% as at December 31, 2010.
  • Debt gearing5 increased by 1 point to 28% mainly as a result of forex impact partly offset by earnings net of dividend.

Non-GAAP measures such as Underlying Earnings and Adjusted Earnings are reconciled to Net Income on page 9 of this release. AXA's 2010 financial statements have been examined by the Board of Directors on February 16, 2011 and are subject to completion of audit procedures by AXA's independent auditors.

Life & Savings

Life & Savings revenues were down 3% to Euro 56,923 million, with increases in MedLA and NORCEE more than offset by decreases in France, the US and Japan.

Continued positive net inflows (Euro +8.4 billion)

Net inflows remained strong at Euro +8.4 billion with increases over FY09 mainly in Japan and CEE and decreases mainly in France and the US.

High growth markets2 showed strong net inflows amounting to Euro +1.9 billion (up Euro 0.5 billion vs. FY09), representing 14% of high growth markets2 opening reserves.

New Business Volume (APE1) by country

APE1 of the sold UK operations is excluded from 2010 reported figures.

Total APE was down 2% to Euro 5,780 million as the 5% decrease in mature markets was partly compensated by a strong increase in high growth markets2 (+25%).

  • In mature markets, lower sales in France (selective underwriting in Individual business and fewer large contracts in Group retirement business), in Japan (discontinuation of a lower margin protection product) and in the US (mainly lower "Accumulator" sales following product redesign, partly compensated by new "Retirement Cornerstone" sales) were partly offset by the UK (mainly driven by the success of the "Elevate" wrap platform) and Italy (in a context of low interest rates environment limiting the competitiveness of banking products, and tax amnesty).
  • In high growth markets2, strong performance across the board, notably in Indonesia, Hong-Kong and Thailand driven by higher sales of protection with savings products, as well as strong sales in Poland.

Unit-Linked share in APE was up 2 pts vs. FY09 at 35%.

New Business Value up 12%

New Business Value (NBV3)

NBV3 of the sold UK operations is excluded from 2010 reported figures. NBV3 was up 12% to Euro 1,290 million, primarily due to:

  • improved business mix mainly benefiting from product redesign in the US and Japan
  • improved country mix mainly benefiting from increased contribution from high growth markets2
  • change in operational assumptions mainly driven by France (projection of lower loss ratio for Protection business, based on positive experience in recent years), partly offset by
  • lower volumes (APE1 down 2%), increase in unit costs and expense base.

As a result, New Business margin was up from 18.0% to 22.3%.

In high growth markets2, NBV was up 30% to Euro 254 million mainly as a result of strong volume increases (APE up 25%). NBV margin stood at a strong level of 38.2%.

  • G/A Protection & Health APE was down 4% to Euro 1,802 million as strong sales in SEA & China and Hong-Kong were more than offset by Japan (discontinuation of a lower margin protection product) and France (selective underwriting in Health partly compensated by strong performance in individual Protection).
  • G/A Investment & Savings APE was down 11% to Euro 1,453 million as a result of more selective sales in a low interest rates environment, in particular in France and Belgium.
  • Unit-Linked APE was stable at Euro 1,776 million, with a positive performance across the board, especially in the UK (offshore bonds and individual pensions on retained business), CEE and SEA & China offset by the US (lower "Accumulator" sales) and France (lower large premiums in Group Retirement business partly offset by a 27% increase in Individual savings).
  • Mutual funds & Other APE were up 20% to Euro 749 million driven by the UK (success of the "Elevate" wrap platform) and favourable market conditions in the US.

Property & Casualty

P&C revenues growth supported by tariff increases

Property & Casualty revenues increased by 1.3% to Euro 27,413 million as the 3.9% growth in Personal lines (largely driven by a 3.8% average price increase) was partly offset by a 2.8% decrease in Commercial lines, where the 2.1% average price increase was more than offset notably by lower volumes from selective underwriting and reduced sum insured. Overall, the average price increase was 3.1%. Property & Casualty revenues increased strongly in high growth markets2 (+6%) and

Direct (+19%).

Net new personal contracts in high growth markets and Direct amounted to +835k and +458k respectively, representing 91% of total net new personal contracts which amounted to +1,415k.

Personal lines were up 3.9% mainly benefiting from a 3.8% average price increase.

• Personal Motor revenues (36% of total P&C revenues) increased by 5% mainly driven by the UK (+34%) following strong tariff increases, higher volumes and improved retention, mostly as a result of the success of both Swiftcover and AXA branded direct businesses. France was up 3%, mostly driven by tariff increases while Spain was down 7%, mainly due to both lower volumes as a result of severe price competition, and lower risk coverage partly compensated by price increases.

Motor net new contracts amounted to +974k.

• Personal Non-Motor revenues (26% of total P&C revenues) increased by 3%, driven by France (+6%) largely attributable to price increases combined with positive portfolio developments, MedLA (+6%) with strong price increases in Mexico (Health) and in Spain (Health and Household), as well as Italy as AXA MPS household business benefited from the rebound of bank mortgage loan activity. This was partly offset by a decrease in Germany (-3%) due to the medical liability segment restructuring with tariff increases and selective underwriting.

Household net new contracts amounted to +441k.

Commercial lines were down 2.8% as the 2.1% average price increase was more than offset notably by lower volumes from more selective underwriting and by reduced sum insured.

  • Commercial Motor revenues (8% of total P&C revenues) were stable as increases, notably in the UK & Ireland (+10%), France (+2%) and Canada (+8%) were offset by Spain (-21%), reflecting tariff increase despite strong competition.
  • Commercial non-Motor revenues (30% of total P&C revenues) decreased 3%, largely due to the UK (-11%) following AXA's exit from certain property accounts in a very competitive environment, Belgium (-7%) as a consequence of selective underwriting in workers compensation, partly offset by the Gulf Region (+14%) with a strong new business in Health.

REVENUES /

Asset Management revenues supported by higher average assets under management (+3%) and higher average fees

Asset Management

  • Asset Management revenues were up 5% to Euro 3,328 million, mainly driven by higher average assets under management (up 3% vs. FY09) and higher average management fees, reflecting mainly product mix shift at AllianceBernstein.
  • Assets Under Management were up Euro 33 billion versus December 31, 2009 to Euro 878 billion6 mainly as a result of:
  • Net outflows of Euro -64 billion due to:
    • Euro -44 billion at AllianceBernstein, primarily in institutional clients segment (Euro -37 billion) mainly on equity investments and in the Retail segment (Euro -6 billion),
    • Euro -20 billion at AXA IM, mainly driven by AXA Rosenberg (Euro -29 billion) while other expertises experienced net inflows of Euro +9 billion.
  • Market impact of Euro +53 billion due to market recovery
  • Forex impact of Euro +41 billion due to depreciation of the Euro versus other currencies.

* 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 as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, total net outstanding number of shares was 2,295 million and average fully diluted number of shares was 2,275 million.

** Revised net income per share takes into account interest payments related to perpetual debts classified in equity, excluding Forex impacts. Previously disclosed fully diluted net income per share included Forex adjustments and amounted to €1.51 in FY10.

Underlying Earnings

Underlying Earnings were down 3% to Euro 3,880 million. Life & Savings Underlying Earnings grew by 1% driven by an improving investment margin and higher average unit-linked assets partly offset by a decrease in net technical margin mainly on Variable Annuity. Property & Casualty Underlying Earnings decreased by 2% following a slight increase in combined ratio, up 0.2 pt to 99.1% (Current Year combined ratio improved by 2.0 pts more than offset by 2.2 pts lower positive prior year reserve developments). In Asset Management, Underlying Earnings fell by 26% mainly as a result of both a non-recurring 2009 tax benefit and a net provision in 2010 related to losses arising from AXA Rosenberg coding error, partly offset higher average assets under management.

• Life & Savings Underlying Earnings were up 1% to Euro 2,455 million. Pre-tax Underlying Earnings were up 6% to Euro 3,500 million

  • Margin on revenues was stable at Euro 4,781 million as the decrease in revenues (-3%) was offset by higher margins (+4%), mainly resulting from an improved business mix (increased contribution to revenues from Protection & Health business).
  • Margin on assets was up 11% to Euro 5,370 million:
  • Unit-Linked management fees were up 9% to Euro 2,056 million, benefiting from both higher average reserves (+5%) following equity market appreciation, and favourable country mix (+4%).
  • General Account investment margin was up 14% to Euro 2,536 million mainly due to lower policyholders' participation. Investment yield slightly decreased versus FY09 but remained above 4.0% benefiting from long asset duration.
  • Other fees were up 8% to Euro 778 million mainly driven by favourable equity market evolution on Mutual funds businesses.

Increase in both investment margin and fees partly offset by net technical margin

  • Technical margin was down Euro 1,11610 million to Euro 767 million, mainly driven by (i) Euro 702 million lower variable annuity technical margin in the US, primarily from the non repeat of 2009 interest rates hedging gains, unfavourable credit spreads evolution and additional GMxB reserve adjustment to assumptions for lower lapse experience (Euro –351 million), (ii) Euro 165 million from non repeat of FY09 one-off gain in the UK mainly as a result of internal restructuring of an annuity portfolio and (iv) Euro 68 million from non repeat of FY09 positive prior year developments on Group retirement business in France.
  • Expenses, net of DAC/DOC were down 8%10 to Euro 7,190 million, with administrative expenses down 2%10 and acquisition expenses down 14%10 mainly due to lower DAC amortization notably following lower technical margin in the US.
  • VBI amortization was down 35% to Euro 250 million, driven by Japan and France mainly due to non repeat of FY09 assumption changes.
  • Tax and minority interests were up 17% to Euro 1,044 million, mainly driven by higher pre-tax earnings and lower positive tax one-offs vs. FY09. Positive tax one-offs amounted to Euro 89 million (vs. Euro 129 million in FY09).

Life & Savings Pre-tax Underlying Earnings by business

  • G/A Protection & Health were stable at Euro 2,091 million as increase in investment margin and loadings on premiums was offset by non repeat of both 2009 high level of surrender margin in Japan and positive prior year reserve developments in Belgium.
  • G/A Savings were up 17% to Euro 635 million, primarily driven by an increase in investment margin.
  • Unit-Linked were up 3% to Euro 672 million, mainly driven by a strong increase in management fees partly offset by lower US VA pre-tax Underlying Earnings which amounted to Euro 147 million in FY10 vs. Euro 246 million in FY09.
  • Mutual funds & Other were up to Euro 101 million, mainly driven by higher funds under management benefiting from equity market upturn, as well as productivity gains at Bluefin in the UK following 2009 restructuring plan.

P&C current year combined ratio down 2 points

• Property & Casualty Underlying Earnings were down 2% to Euro 1,692 million with a combined ratio up 0.2 pt to 99.1% and a current year combined ratio down 2.0 points to 102.4%.

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

Loss ratio increased by 0.3 point to 71.1% as a result of:

  • -1.9 pts in current year loss ratio to 74.4% of which
  • -0.2 pt from natural catastrophes (slightly lower than 2009 level driven by Xynthia storm in continental Europe, freezes in the UK and difficult winter conditions overall),
  • -1.7 pts in current year loss ratio excluding natural catastrophes, mainly due to price increases (-2.0pts improvement on a net earned basis)
  • +2.2 pts prior year reserve developments, with reserving ratio at 185%.

Expense ratio decreased by 0.1 point to 28.0% with acquisition expense ratio down 0.4 point (mainly thanks to the renegotiation of brokers' commissions in the UK), while administrative expense ratio was up 0.3 point.

Investment income11 was fairly stable at Euro 2,115 million, with an investment yield at 4.0%.

Tax and minority interests were nearly flat at Euro 665 million as lower pre-tax earnings were offset by lower positive tax one-offs which amounted to Euro 13 million (vs. Euro 61 million in FY09)

Asset Management underlying earnings impacted by one-offs

• Asset Management Underlying Earnings were down 26% to Euro 269 million mainly as a result of both non-recurring 2009 tax benefit and a net provision related to losses arising from AXA Rosenberg coding error. Excluding these impacts, Underlying Earnings would have been up 12%.

AllianceBernstein Underlying Earnings were down 25% to Euro 143 million due to the non repeat of a Euro 62 million positive tax benefit in 2009. Excluding this impact, Underlying Earnings would have been up 12% benefiting from higher revenues mainly driven by higher average assets under management partly offset by higher expenses.

AXA Investment Managers Underlying Earnings were down 27% to Euro 125 million due to a Euro 66 million net provision related to losses arising from AXA Rosenberg coding error. Excluding this provision, Underlying Earnings would have been up 11% mainly due to higher revenues (mainly performance fees) and higher carried interests partly offset by higher expenses.

  • International Insurance Underlying Earnings were flat at Euro 290 million, mainly as the strong performance of AXA Corporate Solution Assurance with 2.2 pts improvement in combined ratio (96.9% in FY10), was offset by lower favourable developments on run-off portfolios.
  • Banking Underlying Earnings increased to Euro 9 million (vs. Euro -2 million in FY09).
  • Holdings7 Underlying Earnings decreased by Euro 36 million on a comparable basis to Euro -836 million.

Adjusted Earnings

Net Income

Net income reduced by the partial sale of the UK Life operations

Net Income was down 26% to Euro 2,749 million. Excluding the Euro 1,642 million exceptional loss related to the partial sale of the UK Life operations, net income was up 18% to Euro 4,391 million, mainly benefiting from higher Adjusted Earnings.

FY10 change in fair value amounted to Euro 185 million mainly as a result of:

  • (i) Euro -42 million impact from credit spreads and interest rates
  • (ii) Euro +224 million mark to market of equity and alternative assets, mainly Private Equity
  • (iii) Euro +131 million impact from mark-to-market of ABS

In 2010, the Group EV benefited from a Euro 1.7 billion impact from the use of a liquidity premium versus Euro 2.6 billion in 2009.

Operating return amounted to Euro 7.2 billion. The increase vs. FY09 was mainly driven by higher inforce and new business contributions in Life & Savings as well as favourable operational assumption changes of Euro 1.8 billion mainly in France following the use of a lower projected loss ratio for Protection business based on positive experience in recent years.

Investment experience amounted to Euro -2.2 billion mainly due to lower interest rates, higher interest rate volatilities and widening credit spreads.

Operating Free Cash Flow

Group Operating Free Cash Flow was up from Euro 3.1 billion to Euro 3.7 billion mainly benefiting from the increase in the Life & Savings Operating Free Cash Flow up from Euro 0.8 billion to Euro 1.4 billion.
