Half year 2011 Earnings

In line with Ambition AXA

Strong earnings growth

  • o Underlying Earnings up 10% to Euro 2.2 billion
  • o Adjusted earnings up 7% to Euro 2.4 billion
  • o Net Income quadrupled to Euro 4.0 billion

Substantial increase in new business profitability

  • o Life & Savings NBV margin up from 21% to 26%
  • o Property & Casualty current year combined ratio down 3.8 pts to 99.2%

Strong sales in high growth markets with high new business margins

"AXA teams have achieved an excellent performance in the first half of 2011 with resumed earnings growth", said Henri de Castries, Chairman and CEO of AXA.

"Thanks to the quality of our distributors and the engagement of our employees, we were able to significantly improve new business margins in both Life & Savings and Property & Casualty businesses. In Asset Management, AXA IM recorded strong investment performance and positive net inflows and we remain confident in the rebound potential of AllianceBernstein despite current outflows."

"AXA begins the second half of 2011 with a significantly increased exposure to high growth markets. This was achieved through both strong organic growth and active capital management, including the announced sale of Canadian operations, the sale of Australia & New Zealand operations and the acquisition of minority interests in Asia."

"Although the macro-economic environment remains uncertain, AXA clients can rely on the financial strength of the Group and the strong quality and diversification of our businesses and invested assets."

"Our company-wide strategic plan, Ambition AXA, was launched this year and the first half results show that we are off to a good start in meeting our objectives. Going forward, we should continue to benefit from our selective approach in mature markets, our acceleration in high growth markets and the ongoing efficiency programs which have started to deliver."

All comments are on a comparable basis (constant Forex, scope and methodology for activity indicators; constant Forex for earnings unless otherwise specified).

1H10 APE and NBV of the sold UK operations are excluded from reported figures. 1H11 APE and NBV of Australia & New Zealand, Hong Kong, South-East Asia, India & China are restated for AXA APH transaction in reported figures. Canadian operations are treated as discontinued operations and therefore excluded from 1H10 and 1H11 revenues, underlying earnings and adjusted earnings.

Revenues

  • Total Revenues were down 3% to Euro 46,836 million (-5% on a reported basis).
  • Life & Savings revenues were down 7% to Euro 27,841 million.

New Business Volume (APE1)was down 1% to Euro 2,948 million, mainly driven by a strong performance in General Account ("G/A") Protection & Health business up 14%, more than offset by a 26% decrease in G/A Savings business. Unit-Linked APE was down 1%.

New Business Value (NBV2) was up 11% to Euro 771 million, mainly driven by an improved business mix towards G/A Protection & Health and towards Unit-Linked within the savings business.

As a result, new business margin increased from 21% in 1H10 to 26% in 1H11, with high margin levels in G/A Protection & Health business at 47% and Unit-Linked business at 24%.

Net inflows amounted to Euro 3.6 billion vs. Euro 6.0 billion in 1H10, with a slowdown in mature markets, mainly in G/A Savings business.

  • Property & Casualty revenues increased by 3% to Euro 15,350 million. Personal lines revenues grew 4% largely driven by a 4% average price increase. Commercial lines revenues grew 1% as the 2% average price increase was partly offset by lower volumes with continuing focus on selective underwriting. Overall, prices increased by 3.5% on average.
  • Asset Management revenues were up 3% to Euro 1,658 million, mainly driven by higher performance fees and real estate transaction fees at AXA IM as well as higher distribution fees at AllianceBernstein. Average assets under management were stable at Euro 849 billion. Net outflows amounted to Euro 23 billion, with net outflows of Euro 24 billion at AllianceBernstein slightly offset by positive net inflows of Euro 1 billion at AXA IM.

Earnings

  • Underlying Earnings were up 10% to Euro 2,222 million. Life & Savings Underlying Earnings were down 1%. Restated for scope effects (partial sale of the UK Life operations and AXA APH transaction), Underlying Earnings were up 9% mainly driven by an increase in Unit-Linked management fees and G/A investment margin. Despite Euro 70 million pre-tax impact from earthquake in Japan, technical margin increased mainly driven by Variable Annuity hedge results in the US, partly offset by the related increase in DAC amortization. Property & Casualty Underlying Earnings increased 15% following a 1.3 pts improvement in all year combined ratio, down to 97.2% (current year combined ratio improved by 3.8 pts, partly offset by 2.5 pts lower positive prior year reserve developments). In Asset Management, Underlying Earnings increased by 6% driven by AXA IM (+25%), partly offset by AllianceBernstein (-15%).
  • Adjusted Earnings increased by 7% to Euro 2,393 million, benefiting from higher underlying earnings, higher realized capital gains partly offset by higher impairment charges, of which Euro 92 million net impairment on Greek government bonds (based on mark to market valuation for shorter than 2020 maturities).
  • Net Income increased by 308% to Euro 3,999 million. 1H10 included Euro 1,478 million exceptional loss related to the partial sale of the UK Life operations while 1H11 included Euro 1,440 million exceptional realized gains related to the sale of the stake in Taikang Life and of the Australia & New Zealand operations.

Balance sheet

• Shareholders' equity was Euro 46.4 billion, down Euro 3.3 billion vs. December 31, 2010, benefiting from Euro 4.0 billion Net Income for the period, more than offset by Euro 1.6 billion 2010 dividend payment, Euro 1.5 billion negative Forex movements net of hedging instruments, Euro 1.8 billion decrease in net unrealized capital gains and Euro 2.5 billion negative impact from the goodwill deduction related to the acquisition of AXA APH Asia Life minority interests.

Net unrealized capital gains included in shareholders' equity amounted to Euro 4.6 billion while net unrealized capital gains on real estate & loans (not included in shareholders' equity) amounted to Euro 2.9 billion.

  • Economic solvency ratio increased from 178% as at December 31, 2010 to 184% as at June 30, 2011.
  • Debt gearing3 was stable at 28% mainly as the anticipated impacts from AXA APH transaction (+4 pts) and the sale of Taikang Life stake (-2 pts) were offset by the remittance of the majority of expected 2010 dividends from entities to Group Holding company in the first half of 2011, net of dividend paid to shareholders and debt interest.

Non-GAAP measures such as Underlying Earnings and Adjusted Earnings are reconciled to Net Income on page 10 of this release. AXA's 1H11 financial statements were examined by the Board of Directors on August 3, 2011 and are subject to completion of limited review by AXA's independent auditors.

Mutual funds & Other 7% 389 309 +15%
Total 26% 2,986 2,948 -1%

Improved business mix…

  • G/A Protection & Health APE (38% of total) was up 14% to Euro 1,130 million, mainly driven by Switzerland (strong sales in Group Life), Germany (favourable change in regulation facilitating access to private Health insurance), the US (with the success of the new Indexed Universal Life product) and France (mainly increase in Group Protection and success of the Family Protection product).
  • G/A Savings APE (19% of total) was down 26% to Euro 560 million, mainly driven by Italy (mostly non repeat of the 2010 fiscal amnesty and stronger focus on Unit-Linked products), Belgium (more conservative offer in a low profitability environment) and France (uncertainties in February and March 2011 on Life insurance tax regulation and competition from short term banking accounts with higher offered rates).

  • Unit-Linked APE (32% of total) was down 1% to Euro 948 million, with (i) Continental Europe5 up 1% (mainly France up 22% driven by the "Bonus Euro+" initiative and Italy, mainly through the AXA MPS Joint-Venture up 27%, partly offset by Germany down 29% mainly as a result of Variable Annuity product repricing and non-repeat of 1H10 marketing campaign on UL savings products), (ii) South East Asia, India & China up 20% driven by strong sales through Bank Mandiri branches in Indonesia and (iii) the US up 4% (mainly increase in "Retirement Cornerstone" sales partly offset by lower "Accumulator" sales), more than offset by mainly (iv) the UK down 16% due to lower volumes in pension products.

  • Mutual funds & Other APE (10% of total) was up 15% to Euro 309 million as the strong performance of the Elevate wrap platform in the UK was partly offset by lower sales in CEE.

As a result, new business value (NBV2) was up 11% to Euro 771 million, mainly driven by an improved business mix towards G/A Protection & Health and towards Unit-Linked within the savings business, a favourable country mix effect as well as a positive scope impact from the buyout of high margin Asian minorities.

In high growth markets4, NBV was up 16% to Euro 206 million (27% of total NBV) mainly as a result of volume increases and favourable country mix effect. In mature markets, NBV was up 9% to Euro 564 million.

NBV margin was up 2.8 pts to 26.1%, with NBV margin at 22.9% in mature markets and at 42.9% in high growth markets.

…leading to a substantial increase in New Business Margin

Actuarial and financial assumptions are not updated on a quarterly basis, except for interest rates which are hedged at point of sale for Variable Annuity products.

New Business Volume (APE1) by country

• New Business Volume (APE1) was down 1% to Euro 2,948 million, as strong sales in Switzerland (+37%), Hong Kong (+33%), South East Asia, India & China (+19%), the US (+5%) and Germany (+4%) were more than offset by decreases in Italy (-47%), Belgium (-35%), Japan (-17%) and CEE (-4%). APE was stable in France and in the UK.

P&C revenues growth supported by tariff increases

Property & Casualty

Property & Casualty revenues increased by 3% to Euro 15,350 million. Personal lines revenues grew 4% largely driven by a 4% average price increase. Commercial lines revenues grew 1% as the 2% average price increase was partly offset by lower volumes with continuing focus on selective underwriting.

Overall, prices increased by 3.5% on average.

Property & Casualty revenues strongly increased in high growth markets4 (+11%) and Direct (+9%).

Net new personal contracts in high growth markets and Direct amounted to +414k and +128k respectively, representing 54% and 17% of total net new personal contracts which amounted to +771k.

Personal lines were up 4% mainly benefiting from a 4% average price increase.

  • Personal Motor revenues (37% of total P&C revenues) increased by 5% mainly driven by:
  • MedLA (+7%) with Turkey up 35% thanks to the success of motor products driven by increased car sales and Italy up 9% from higher volumes and tariff increases, partly offset by Spain down 8% mainly due to lower volumes as a result of macro-environment and severe price competition,
  • Germany (+9%) as a result of both (i) price increases with the launch of two new product ranges with higher tariffs and (ii) higher volumes benefiting from a slowdown in price competition,
  • UK & Ireland (+10%) following strong tariff increases in intermediated business,
  • Direct business (+7%) mainly driven by the UK, as a result of tariff increases and new business volumes, as well as Continental Europe with strong growth in Italy and Poland.

Motor net new contracts amounted to +628k.

• Personal Non-Motor revenues (23% of total P&C revenues) increased by 2%, mainly driven by France (+5%) as a result of strong price increases and Direct business (+30%), mainly in the UK, supported by Swiftcover Home product launched in May 2010. This was partly offset by a decrease in the UK traditional business (-3%) mainly reflecting selective underwriting in Travel and Warranty lines.

Household net new contracts amounted to +143k.

Commercial lines were up 1% as the 2% average price increase was partly offset by lower volumes with continuing focus on selective underwriting

  • Commercial Motor revenues (8% of total P&C revenues) were up 1% notably driven by the UK & Ireland (+16%) as a result of both tariff increases and higher new business, partly offset by selective underwriting in MedLA region.
  • Commercial Non-Motor revenues (32% of total P&C revenues) increased by 1%, largely driven by (i) MedLA (+4%), in particular the Gulf Region (+24%) with strong new business in Health, and Turkey (+18%) on large accounts in Property and by (ii) France (+2%) reflecting strong tariff increases in Construction and Property. This was partly offset by Germany (-1%).

Asset Management

  • Asset Management revenues were up 3% to Euro 1,658 million, mainly driven by higher performance fees and real estate transaction fees at AXA IM as well as higher distribution fees at AllianceBernstein. Management fees were stable reflecting stable average assets under management.
  • Assets Under Management were down Euro 41 billion versus December 31, 2010 to Euro 837 billion6 mainly as a result of:
  • Net flows of Euro -23 billion due to:
    • Euro -24 billion at AllianceBernstein, primarily in institutional clients segment (Euro -20 billion),
    • Euro +1 billion at AXA IM, mainly driven by AXA Private Equity (Euro +2 billion), Fixed Income (Euro +1 billion), AXA Framlington (Euro +1 billion) and Money Market products (Euro +1 billion), partly offset by AXA Rosenberg products (Euro -3 billion) and the voluntary exit from unprofitable employee shareholding plan schemes (Euro -2 billion).
  • Market impact of Euro +16 billion mainly driven by equity market recovery
  • Forex impact of Euro -31 billion mainly due to appreciation of the Euro versus USD.

Underlying Earnings were up 10% to Euro 2,222 million.

Life & Savings Underlying Earnings were down 1%.

Property & Casualty Underlying Earnings increased 15% following a 1.3 pts improvement in all year combined ratio, down to 97.2% (current year combined ratio improved by 3.8 pts, partly offset by 2.5 pts lower positive prior year reserve developments).
