9M 2012 Activity Indicators

  • Total revenues up 1% to Euro 68.4 billion
  • Life & Savings APE stable at Euro 4.5 billion, with a 25% New Business Value margin
  • Property & Casualty revenues up 4% to Euro 22.2 billion
  • Asset Management net outflows reduced to Euro -8 billion

"Top line trends for the first nine months of 2012 are overall in line with those observed over the previous quarters, with a continued focus on Ambition AXA. Growth is driven by Protection & Health and Property & Casualty, which are less sensitive to financial markets", commented Denis Duverne, Deputy CEO of AXA.

"In Life & Savings, the shift in business mix towards more Protection & Health remained a priority. This translated into a stable NBV margin, despite a low interest rate environment."

"Property & Casualty revenue growth maintained its momentum in most countries driven by our disciplined underwriting policy, both in terms of rates and selectivity, and higher volumes."

"Assets under management increased over the period driven by market appreciation while net outflows reduced significantly."

Numbers herein have not been audited. APE and NBV are both in line with the Group's EEV disclosure. They are non-GAAP measures which Management uses as key indicators of performance in assessing AXA's Life & Savings business and believes to provide useful and important information to shareholders and investors.

Revenues

  • Total Revenues were up 1% to Euro 68,358 million.
  • Life & Savings revenues were stable at Euro 40,946 million.

New Business Volume (APE1) was stable at Euro 4,461 million as the 4% growth in General Account ("G/A") Protection & Health business, which represents 40% of total APE, was offset by a 1% decrease in Unit-Linked APE and by a 11% decrease in G/A Savings business. Mutual funds & Other APE was up 5%.

New Business Value (NBV2) was down 1% to Euro 1,121 million, as the increased contribution of G/A Protection & Health and lower unit-costs were more than offset by the impact of lower interest rates vs. 9M11 on GMxB products.

As a result, new business margin was stable at 25%, with high margin levels in both G/A Protection & Health business at 44% and Unit-Linked business at 24%.

Net inflows amounted to Euro +3.0 billion down from Euro +4.5 billion in 9M11, mainly driven by increased net outflows in G/A Savings, down Euro -1.9 billion. By business, we experienced strong net inflows in G/A Protection & Health (Euro +4.1 billion) and continued positive net inflows in Unit-Linked (Euro +2.1 billion), partly offset by net outflows in G/A Savings (Euro -3.3 billion) mainly at AXA MPS in Italy and in France.

  • Property & Casualty revenues were up 4% to Euro 22,222 million. Personal lines revenues grew 3% largely driven by 2.9% average price increase. Commercial lines revenues grew 5% mainly driven by 2.9% average price increase and higher sum insured. On average, prices increased by 2.9% overall.
  • Asset Management revenues were down 6% to Euro 2,460 million, mainly impacted by lower management fees at AllianceBernstein, resulting from lower average bps (down 3.9 bps) as well as lower average assets under management. Revenues at AXA IM were stable, as higher management fees were offset by lower real estate transaction fees and lower performance fees. Assets under management increased by Euro 52 billion over the period. Net outflows improved by Euro 25 billion to Euro -8 billion, with Euro -8.4 billion at AllianceBernstein and Euro +0.1 billion at AXA IM.

Solvency update (as of 09/30/2012)

  • Regulatory solvency I ratio was estimated at above 220%.
  • Economic capital ratio5 was estimated at ca. 183% including the benefit of third country equivalence for the US.

  • G/A Protection & Health new business APE (40% of total) was up 4% to Euro 1,796 million, mainly driven by Hong Kong up 33% (mainly due to strong agency sales supported by a marketing campaign), South-East Asia, India & China up 28% (notably in Thailand) and Japan up 7% (mainly driven by strong sales of Term Rider and Long Term Protection products), partly offset by lower Group Life sales in Switzerland (down 10%) after exceptionally strong sales in 9M11.
  • Unit-Linked new business APE (31% of total) was down 1% to Euro 1,403 million, with:
  • (i) Continental Europe3 down 4%, impacted by Germany (down 37%) mainly as a result of the curtailment of "Twinstar" GMxB Variable Annuity product, and France down 5% driven by individual savings affected by the negative performance of the French individual Unit-Linked savings market (down 29%). Yet French Unit-Linked share in Savings premiums was up 1 point to 24% in 9M12 (above market average of 13%);
  • (ii) Central and Eastern Europe down 46%, mainly driven by Poland, due to a change in regulation affecting pension fund new business;
  • (iii) The UK down 19%, mainly due to lower volumes in offshore bond business;
  • (iv) the US up 26%, driven by the increase of non GMxB Variable Annuity products with the continued success of the "Structured Capital Strategies" product now distributed through wholesale channels, along with increased sales of GMxB Variable Annuity products, notably driven by the refreshed "Accumulator" with lower risk profile;
  • (v) Italy up 29%, mainly at AXA MPS (+31%) driven by the successful launch of a new structured product.
  • G/A Savings new business APE (17% of total) was down 11% to Euro 753 million, driven by France down 9% mainly due to individual savings affected by continued selective sales in a context of lower interest rates as well as by the negative performance of the French traditional savings market (down 12%), and by Italy down 28% mainly at AXA MPS given more selective sales with a stronger focus on Unit-Linked, and increased competition from banking products.
  • Mutual funds & Other new business APE (11% of total) was up 5% to Euro 509 million driven by strong performance in the UK through the wrap platform Elevate.

As a result, new business value (NBV2) was down 1% to Euro 1,121 million as higher contribution of G/A Protection & Health and lower unit costs were more than offset by the impact of lower interest rates on the profitability of GMxB Variable Annuity products.

In mature markets, NBV was down 3% to Euro 809 million. In high growth markets, NBV was up 3% to Euro 313 million (28% of total NBV) mainly in South-East Asia, India & China (up 14%), as a result of higher volumes, partly offset by CEE (down 24%) driven by lower volumes following a change in regulation affecting pension fund new business in Poland, partly offset by an improved business mix and lower expenses.

NBV margin was stable at 25%, comprised of 22% NBV margin in mature markets and 43% NBV margin in high growth markets.

Actuarial and financial assumptions are not updated on a quarterly basis in NBV calculation, except for interest rates which are hedged at point of sale for GMxB Variable Annuity products. Actuarial and other financial assumptions will be updated at year-end 2012 and will notably take into account, if current market conditions were to persist, the decline in interest rates.

New Business Volume (APE1) and margins by country

New Business Volume (APE1) was stable at Euro 4,461 million, as strong sales in the US (+11%), South-East Asia, India & China (+20%), Japan (+13%) and Hong Kong (+10%) were offset by decreases in CEE (-35%), France (-4%), the UK (-10%) and Switzerland (-11%).

The United States

New business APE increased by 11% to Euro 914 million, primarily driven by strong increase in non GMxB Variable Annuity products with the continued success of the "Structured Capital Strategies" product now distributed through wholesale channels, along with increased sales of GMxB Variable Annuity products, notably driven by the refreshed "Accumulator" with lower risk profile.

NBV margin was up 2 points to 15%, mainly driven by both lower unit costs reflecting higher volumes and lower expenses along with improved business mix, partly compensated by the impact of lower interest rates on the profitability of GMxB Variable Annuity products.

France

New business APE was down 4% to Euro 937 million, mostly impacted by:

(i) G/A Savings sales down 9% mainly in individual savings, affected by continued selective sales in a context of lower interest rates as well as by the negative performance of the French traditional savings market (down 12%), and by

(ii) Unit-Linked sales down 5% driven by individual savings affected by the negative performance of the French individual Unit-Linked savings market (down 29%). Yet Unit-Linked share in Savings premiums increased by 1 point to 24% in 9M12 (above market average of 13%) partly offset by (iii) G/A Protection & Health sales up 2%, mainly driven by an increased new business in individual

Life, notably with the launch of the new Entour'age and Essen'ciel products, partly offset by lower sales in Individual Health before the launch of a new Health product line in October.

NBV margin was up 1 point at 15%, as the improvement in business mix (higher proportion of G/A Protection & Health products as well as higher share of Unit-Linked products within Savings sales) was partly offset by higher unit costs reflecting lower volumes.

The United Kingdom

New business APE was down 10% to Euro 406 million, mainly due to lower volumes in offshore bond business partly offset by strong Mutual Funds sales through the Elevate wrap platform.

NBV margin was down 6 points to 0% following a deterioration of business mix as market uncertainties triggered a decrease in higher margin offshore bond Unit-Linked products while lower margin Corporate pension products sales increased.

Northern, Central & Eastern Europe

Germany new business APE was down 9% to Euro 343 million, mainly as a result of the curtailment of "Twinstar" GMxB Variable Annuity product as well as lower sales of single premium G/A Savings products. This was partly offset by Health sales (up 5%) supported by brokers' anticipation of a change in regulation capping their commissions starting from April 1, 2012, as well as higher sales in G/A Savings Group pension business.

NBV margin was down 2 points to 21%, mainly due to lower volumes of "Twinstar" Variable Annuity product.

Switzerland new business APE was down 11% to Euro 309 million, due to Group Life after exceptionally strong sales in 9M11.

NBV margin was up 1 point to 42% driven by a favorable business mix.

Belgium new business APE was up 15% to Euro 147 million, mostly due to strong increase in G/A Protection & Health following the acquisition of a large group contract and in G/A Savings sales as a result of a two-month sales campaign in January and February in a context of higher Belgian sovereign interest rates.

NBV margin was up 2 points to 8%, driven by an improved product mix as well as lower unit costs reflecting higher sales.

Central & Eastern Europe new business APE was down 35% to Euro 105 million mainly driven by Poland, due to a change in regulation affecting pension fund new business.

NBV margin was up 3 points to 23%, mainly due to an improved business mix and lower expenses.

Asia Pacific

Japan new business APE was up 13% to Euro 418 million, mainly due to an increase in Unit-Linked mainly driven by GMxB Variable Annuity products, reflecting a higher number of bank distributors, as well as strong growth in G/A Protection and Health. Excluding GMxB Variable Annuity products, APE grew by 7% mainly from strong sales of Term Rider and Long Term Protection products.

NBV margin was down 13 points to 63%, mainly driven by seasonality effect as well as the impact of lower interest rates on the profitability of GMxB Variable Annuity products, partly offset by lower unit costs reflecting higher volumes.

  • Hong Kong new business APE was up 10% to Euro 295 million, due to G/A Protection & Health driven by strong agency sales supported by a marketing campaign, partly offset by lower Unit-Linked sales mainly due to the non-recurrence of a marketing campaign in 1Q11. NBV margin was down 5 points to 56%, as higher volumes were more than offset by higher expenses mainly in marketing.
  • South-East Asia, India & China new business APE was up 20% to Euro 304 million, reflecting strong sales of Unit-Linked products as well as good momentum in G/A Protection and Health, notably in Thailand.

NBV margin was down 2 points to 38% driven by a negative country mix.

Mediterranean and Latin America Region (MedLA)

New business APE was down 6% to Euro 283 million, mainly impacted by lower G/A Savings sales (i) in Italy down 28% mainly driven by AXA MPS through more selective sales with a stronger focus on Unit-Linked (+31%) with the successful launch of a new structured product as well as increased competition from banking products, and (ii) in Spain down 32% due to increased selectivity in a competitive environment.

NBV margin was up 4 points to 20%, mainly reflecting significant improvement in business mix, more than offsetting higher unit costs.

Property & Casualty

Property & Casualty revenues were up 4% to Euro 22,222 million. Personal lines revenues grew 3% largely driven by 2.9% average price increase. Commercial lines revenues grew 5% mainly driven by 2.9% average price increase and higher sum insured.

On average, prices increased by 2.9% overall.

Property & Casualty revenues strongly increased in high growth markets (+15%), with strong performance in Turkey, Mexico, and the Gulf region. Mature markets were up 2%. Direct was flat as lower sales in the UK, due to a portfolio cleansing in 1Q12 after a period of rapid growth, offset sales dynamism in the other countries (+9%).

Net new personal contracts amounted to +895k.

Personal lines revenues (59% of total P&C revenues) increased by 3%, mainly benefiting from a 2.9% average price increase.

  • Personal Motor revenues (35% of total P&C revenues) were up 2%, mainly driven by:
  • MedLA (+4%) notably with Turkey up 30% driven by the strong demand for AXA products and Italy up 4% mostly due to restructuring of the agencies network and higher average premium, partly offset by Spain, down 10%, mainly due to lower renewals in a difficult macro environment and increased competition, and by
  • Germany (+7%), mainly due to price increases in the context of a hardening market,

partly offset by

  • Direct (-3%) as lower sales in the UK due to a portfolio cleansing in 1Q12 after a period of rapid growth more than offset sales dynamism in the other countries, mainly in France and Japan.

Personal Motor net new contracts amounted to +649k.

Personal Non-Motor revenues (24% of total P&C revenues) increased by 5% driven by the UK & Ireland (+6%) with Household tariff increases and higher volumes due to new partnerships and improved retention mainly in the UK, by Germany (+6%) due to price increases in Property and Liability and by Direct (+19%) with positive growth across the board.

Household net new contracts amounted to +246k.

Commercial lines revenues (40% of total P&C revenues) were up 5%, driven by a 2.9% average price increase and an increased sum insured.

  • Commercial Motor revenues (9% of total P&C revenues) were up 10% notably driven by Mexico (+23%) as a result of both higher new business and tariff increases, by France (+12%) and by the UK & Ireland (+14%).
  • Commercial Non-Motor revenues (31% of total P&C revenues) were up 3% driven by the UK & Ireland (+7%) with strong new business in Health, France (+3%) supported by tariff increases notably in Construction and Property, and MedLA (+3%) where the strong new business growth of 30% in the Gulf Region notably in Health was partly offset by Spain (-8%) and Portugal (-13%) in a difficult macroeconomic environment.

Asset Management

Asset Management revenues were down 6% to Euro 2,460 million, mainly impacted by lower management fees at AllianceBernstein, resulting from lower average bps (down 3.9 bps) as well as lower average assets under management. Revenues at AXA IM were stable, as higher management fees were offset by lower real estate transaction fees and lower performance fees.
