"AXA's nine months 2013 activity indicators showed positive momentum and demonstrated our teams' commitment to achieving Ambition AXA objectives." commented Denis Duverne, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of AXA.

"In Life & Savings, we successfully continued to shift our business mix towards higher margin products. We saw a significant acceleration in Unit-Linked business, with sales still strong in Protection & Health despite a slowdown in Asia.

In Property & Casualty, we maintained our underwriting discipline and further accelerated Commercial lines revenues across the board, whilst recording bigger volumes in high growth markets.

In Asset Management, net flows were positive in the first nine months, despite outflows at both AXA IM and AllianceBernstein in the third quarter, mostly from Asian clients.

Active capital management remains at the heart of our strategy, with the completion of the closed MONY portfolio and AXA Private Equity transactions. In terms of acquisition, the upcoming partnership with Tian Ping in China will strengthen our footprint in high growth markets."

Key Highlights

Total Revenuesi were up 3% on a comparable basis and up 2% on a reported basis, the difference resulting from the strengthening of the euro against most major currencies. This 3% increase was driven by growth in all business lines:

  • Life & Savings revenues increased by 4%, with growth in both mature and high growth marketsii .
  • Property & Casualty revenues were up 2%, mainly driven by a positive average price effect of 3.1%.
  • Asset Management revenues grew by 8% mainly as a consequence of higher assets under management.

Life and Savings:

  • New Business Volume (Annual Premium Equivalent, APE)iii was up 7%, driven by our strategic priority to increase Unit-Linked and Protection & Healthiv sales, while tapering G/A Savings sales in a low interest rate environment.
  • New Business Value (NBV) v increased by 22%, mainly reflecting improved business mix and higher volumes. New Business Value margin rose by 4 points to 33%.
  • Net inflows amounted to Euro +4.1 billion, mainly driven by increased net inflows in Protection & Health at Euro +5.1 billion and Unit-Linked to Euro +2.3 billion, and continuing net outflows in General Account Savings at Euro -3.5 billion.

Strong solvency ratios:

  • Solvency I ratio at 222% at September 30, 2013.
  • Economic solvencyvi ratio estimated at ca. 210%, or at ca. 214% including proceeds from closed MONY portfolio transactionvii , at September 30, 2013.

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 2013. 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.

of which mature markets 3.7 3.9 +6% 27% 31%
of which high growth markets 0.7 0.8 +11% 43% 46%

New Business Volume (APE) was up 7%, mainly driven by an increase in sales of Unit-Linked and Protection & Health products, partly offset by a decrease in General Account Savings sales. New business sales in mature markets grew 6% while high growth markets increased 11% (excluding CEE, high growth markets were up 17%).

Protection & Health APE (39% of total) was up 4%, driven by (i) Switzerland through a strong offer positioning in Group Life business, (ii) China through the recently launched jointventure ICBC-AXA Life, (iii) Thailand and (iv) Singapore. These were partly offset by the US due to increased competition, Belgium driven by the non-repeat of a large group contract in 2012, Germany and Hong Kong. The slowdown in APE growth compared to 1H13 was mainly explained by lower sales in Japan and Hong Kong.

Unit-Linked APE (35% of total) was up 19%, driven by (i) the UK with growth in large Corporate pension schemes, (ii) the US mainly reflecting strong new business on non-Accumulator products, (iii) French Individual Savings, with 28% Unit-linked share in Individual Savings, above market average of 17% 1 , and Group retirement, (iv) Hong Kong, Belgium and MedLAix . Strong performance in these countries was partly offset by Japan driven by a decrease in Variable Annuity sales following product redesign, and CEE impacted by a continuously difficult political and economic environment.

General Account Savings APE (13% of total) was down 16%, mainly impacted by lower sales in Belgium and France, both largely due to Unit-Linked oriented commercial efforts, as well as reductions in Germany.

AXA continues to focus on profitable new business: NBV margin increased by 4 points to 33%, driven by re-pricing actions in the US, Belgium and Hong Kong, an improved business mix mainly due to higher Protection & Health sales in Japan and in Switzerland, as well as lower unit costs. Margins improved across the board, to 46% in high growth markets and 31% in mature markets. As a result, NBV was up 22% to Euro 1.5 billion.

of which high growth markets 2.7 3.3 +15%
x
of which Direct
1.7 1.7 +4%

Property & Casualty revenues were up 2% mainly driven by 3.1% average tariff increases, and higher volumes in high growth markets and Direct, partly offset by lower volumes and lower average premiums in mature markets.

Mature markets revenues remained stable, as tariff increases were offset by lower volumes especially in Germany, Belgium and the UK following price increases and a more selective underwriting strategy.

High growth markets revenues increased by 15%, driven by both tariff increases and higher volumes. Revenues increased primarily in Turkish motor following strong tariff increases (+47% in Motor Third Party Liability), the Gulf region due to higher volumes, as well as in Asia.

Direct revenues were up 4%, mainly supported by higher volumes notably in France and Italy, with a decrease in the UK in the third quarter driven by market softening and increased price competition.

Personal lines revenues increased by 1%, mainly driven by 3.1% average tariff increases. Germany, France, Belgium, and Turkey businesses continued to experience positive price momentum whilst the UK displayed some softening of market pricing trends. Spain and Italy remained impacted by difficult economic environment.

Personal lines net new contracts were at -125k at 9M13 impacted by selective underwriting in the UK and in Belgium, partly offset by strong increase in Direct and the MedLA region.

Commercial lines revenues increased by 4% mainly driven by 3.3% average tariff increases mainly in France, MedLA region high growth markets, UK & Ireland, and Belgium.

Asset Management

Key figures Revenues Management Closing Assets under Net flows
In Euro billion 9M12 9M13 % change FY12 9M13 % change 9M12 9M13
AXA IM 1.0 1.1 +12% 554 536 -3% +0.1 +7.5

Total 2.5 2.6 +8% 903 884 -2% -8.3 +6.0

Asset Management revenues were up 8% at both AXA IM and AllianceBernstein, mainly driven by higher management fees due to higher average Assets under Management as well as higher distribution fees at AllianceBernstein and increased real estate transactions and performance fees at AXA IM.

Assets under Management were down 2% from December 31, 2012 mainly impacted by a change in scope following the sale of AXA Private Equity (Euro -22 billion) and an unfavourable Forex impact, partly offset by positive market effects and positive net inflows mainly driven by AXA IM.

Net flows amounted to Euro +6 billion for the period with Euro +7.5 billion at AXA IM mainly from Fixed Income and Equities and Euro -1.5 billion at AllianceBernstein as inflows in Fixed Income were more than offset by outflows in Equities. Net flows deteriorated in the third quarter in the institutional channel at both asset managers with outflows mainly coming from Asian clients.
