1Q19 Activity indicators
Strong and disciplined growth
- Total gross revenues up 3% to Euro 35.0 billion
- P&C Commercial lines revenues up 6% to Euro 11.4 billion
- Health revenues up 6% to Euro 3.8 billion
- Protection APE up 5% to Euro 0.7 billion
"AXA delivered another strong performance in the first quarter of 2019", said Gérald Harlin, Deputy CEO and Group CFO of AXA. "Our topline grew overall across the Group, and particularly strongly in each of our three preferred segments: Health, Protection and P&C Commercial lines."
"AXA XL had a strong quarter of selective growth, growing in P&C Insurance and Specialty lines while maintaining underwriting discipline in Reinsurance. The pricing environment improved further over the quarter and we see good momentum building across most lines of AXA XL's business."
"Our transformation journey continued in the first quarter, with the successful placement of another tranche of EQH shares in March, leading to the deconsolidation of EQH. Our business profile is becoming increasingly simpler, clearer and more focused."
"Our balance sheet remains strong with a Solvency II ratio at 190%, well within our guidance. Our AA- rating now has a stable outlook across all rating agencies."
"We have made significant progress towards our ambitions again this quarter. I am grateful to all our colleagues and partners for their strong support and passion, and would like to thank our clients for their continued trust."

1Q19 key highlights
Sales
Total revenues were up 3% due to (i) AXA XL (+7%) as the strong growth in both P&C Insurance and Specialty was partly offset by lower volumes in Reinsurance, notably in Property Cat lines, (ii) Europe (+2%) due to higher volumes in Commercial lines across all countries and higher sales in Life & Savings in Italy, (iii) the United States (+5%) from higher Unit-Linked sales, (iv) Asia (+6%) with higher revenues in Hong Kong and (v) International (+6%) notably in Mexico and Turkey. This was partly offset by France (-2%) mainly due to lower Unit-Linked sales.
Annual Premium Equivalent, APE1,2 (new business volume) was stable, as growth in (i) Asia (+23%) mainly due to China from higher New Year sales of G/A4 Savings products, as well as Japan and Hong Kong both driven by higher Protection sales, was offset by (ii) France (-13%) notably from the non-repeat of exceptional sales in Group International Health business and (iii) Europe (-5%) in the context of the strategic shift from full-value insurance to semi-autonomous contracts in Group Life in Switzerland.
NBV margin1,2 was down 0.8 point to 39.3% mainly from a less favorable business mix in China. New Business Value1,2 was down 2% to Euro 0.7 billion.
P&C revenues were up 4% driven by Commercial lines (+6%) from both positive volume and price effects as well as Personal lines revenues (+1%), mostly from favorable price effects.
Preferred segments5
P&C Commercial lines revenues increased by 6%, mainly due to AXA XL, driven by increased new business and a positive price effect in both P&C Insurance and Specialty, Europe with increased revenues across all countries, and a strong growth in International.
Health revenues were up 6%, with growth in all geographies.
Protection APE was up 5%, driven by strong sales in both Hong Kong and Japan, partly offset by Switzerland in the context of the strategic shift from full-value insurance to semi-autonomous contracts in Group Life.

Solvency
Solvency II ratio3 was 190%, down 3 points vs. December 31, 2018, mainly driven by (i) unfavorable market conditions (-3 points) mostly from lower interest rates, partly offset by favorable forex (+1 point), (ii) the negative impact(-3 points) of changes by EIOPA in both the Ultimate Forward Rate and the reference portfolio weights for the volatility adjuster, and (iii) the effect (-3 points) of transitioning entities that were part of the XL Group from the equivalence with the Bermudian regime to using the Solvency II standard formula. This was partly offset by (iv) a strong operating return net of accrued dividend for the quarter (+2 points) and (v) the positive impact(+2 points) of the secondary offering and related share buyback of AXA Equitable Holdings, Inc. in March 2019.
Ratings
S&P: On March 27, 2019, S&P Global Ratings affirmed the long-term financial strength rating of AXA's core operating subsidiaries at 'AA-' with a stable outlook.

NOTES
1 Annual premium equivalent (APE), NBV, and NBV margin are non-GAAP financial measures and as such are not audited. APE, NBV, and NBV margin and other non-GAAP financial measures are defined in the Glossary set forth in Appendix V of AXA's Registration Document for the year ended December 31, 2018 (pp. 475-479).

3 The Solvency II ratio is estimated primarily using AXA's internal model calibrated based on an adverse 1/200 years shock and assuming US equivalence.
It also includes a theoretical amount for dividends accrued for the first quarter of 2019, based on the full year dividend paid in 2019 for FY18. Dividends are proposed by the Board at its discretion based on a variety of factors described in AXA's 2018 Registration Document and then submitted to AXA's shareholders for approval. This estimate should not be considered in any way to be an indication of the actual dividend amount, if any, for the 2019 financial year. For further information on AXA's internal model and Solvency II disclosures, please refer to AXA Group's SFCR report, available on AXA's website (www.axa.com).
In compliance with the decision from AXA's lead supervisor (the ACPR), XL entities were fully consolidated for Solvency II purposes (as per the consolidation-based method set forth in the Solvency II Directive) and their contribution to the Group's solvency capital requirement was calculated using the Solvency II standard formula. Subject to prior approval of the ACPR, the Group intends as soon as FY 2020 to extend its Internal Model to XL entities.
