Trends in Line With 1H09 PARIS, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Resilient revenues Total revenues were down 2% to EUR68,094 million On a comparable basis, total revenues were down 5%: -- Life & Savings down 6% to EUR42,706 million -- Property & Casualty up 1% to EUR20,524 million -- Asset Management down 31% to EUR2,253 million Positive insurance net inflows Life & Savings: EUR +7.0 billion P&C: +919,000(1) net new personal contracts Asset Management: EUR-51 billion Enhanced Solvency September 30, 2009 Solvency I ratio slightly above 140%(2) (vs. 133% as of June 30, 2009) Chairman's statement "Our top line trends for the first nine months are in line with the ones observed in the first half of 2009, with a modest revenue drop and continued positive insurance net inflows," said Henri de Castries, Chairman of AXA's Management Board. "Life and Savings revenues recovered modestly in the third quarter, notably with a solid performance in France. Our unit-linked business remained below normal trends, as clients evaluate the impact of the market environment on their investment plans and investment decisions. Current US sales have been impacted by lower consumer confidence following the market and economic turmoil combined with our recent product redesigns. However, we continue to believe in the strong potential of variable annuities and other unit-linked savings products to meet our clients' needs. In Property & Casualty, sales growth remained slightly positive and we expect prices to generally increase over the coming months. Assets under management have increased in the third quarter mainly as a result of higher equity markets. AllianceBernstein improved its investment performance and experienced lower levels of outflows from their institutional clients compared to those seen earlier in the year." "The outlook in global financial markets has improved over the last six months, which provides a more favorable environment for our business." 9M09 KEY HIGHLIGHTS / Revenues : Key figures Euro million, except Change Change when otherwise noted on a ----------------------- reported Comp.(a) Scope & FX 9M08 9M09 basis basis Other impact(b) Life & Savings revenues 43,845 42,706 -2.6% -6.4% 0.4% 3.5% Net inflows (Euro billion) 7.8 7.0 APE(3) (Group share) 5,163 4,508 -12.7% -14.7% 0.9% 1.0% NBV(4) (Group share) 738 649 -12.2% -17.8% 0.5% 5.1% NBV to APE margin (Group share) 14.3% 14.4% 0.1pt -0.5pt Property & Casualty revenues 20,031 20,524 2.5% 0.6% 4.0% -2.1% International Insurance revenues 2,229 2,308 3.5% 2.8% 0.1% 0.6% Asset Management revenues 3,059 2,253 -26.3% -30.9% 0.1% 4.4% Net inflows (Euro billion) -10 -51 Total revenues 69,458 68,094 -2.0% -5.1% 1.4% 1.8% (a) Change on a comparable basis was calculated at constant FX and scope.

All comments are on a comparable basis (constant Forex, scope and methodology) - Total Revenues were resilient, down 5% to Euro 68,094 million (down 6% in 1H09). - Life & Savings revenues were down 6% to Euro 42,706 million (down 7% in 1H09). France, Italy and Germany experienced positive growth, whereas the US and the UK faced unfavorable market conditions, notably in their unit-linked business. Net inflows were positive at Euro +7.0 billion (Euro +5.6 billion in 1H09) with strong positive contributions across the board driven by increased client retention. New Business Volume (APE3) was down 15% to Euro 4,508 million, mainly driven by a slowdown in Investment & Savings products through non proprietary channels. Unit-linked share was down from 50% to 38%: variable annuity "Accumulator" sales dropped in the US as a result of both declining markets and AXA's redesign actions. New business margin was down 0.5 pt to 14.4% (up vs. 13.7% in 1H09), mostly as a result of (i) higher unit costs due to lower volumes and (ii) unfavorable market conditions, partly offset by (iii) a better business mix mainly driven by the US (progressive development of new redesigned Accumulator products), the UK (more Protection business) and Japan. - Property & Casualty revenues increased by 1% to Euro 20,524 million, driven by higher volumes in Personal lines, partly offset by negative momentum in Commercial lines as a result of the unfavorable economic environment. Net new personal contracts amounted to +919,000 (+695,000 in 1H09). - Asset Management revenues were down 31% to Euro 2,253 million (down 34% in 1H09), mostly due to lower average assets under management and unfavourable change in product mix (lower equity component). Net outflows amounted to Euro -51 billion (Euro -38 billion in 1H09), mainly due to AllianceBernstein's institutional clients. Assets under management reached Euro 840 billion, significantly above June 30, 2009 levels (Euro 803 billion), benefiting from positive market appreciation LIFE & SAVINGS / Life & Savings -- Life & Savings revenues were down 6% to Euro 42,706 million (down 7% in 1H09). France, Italy and Germany experienced positive growth, whereas the US and the UK faced unfavorable market conditions, notably in their unit-linked business. -- Net inflows remained positive at Euro +7.0 billion (Euro +5.6 billion in 1H09) with strong positive contributions across the board driven by increased client retention, both in General Account (Euro +3.6 billion) and unit-linked (Euro +3.4 billion) businesses. The Euro 0.8 billion decrease versus 9M08 was due to lower inflows (Euro -4.5 billion) and an adverse forex and scope impact (Euro -0.9 billion), partly compensated by higher client retention (Euro +4.6 billion).

Unit-linked share was down from 50% to 38%: variable annuity "Accumulator" sales dropped in the US as a result of both declining market and AXA's redesign actions.

New business margin was down 0.5 pt to 14.4% (up vs. 13.7% in 1H09), mostly as a result of (i) higher unit costs due to lower volumes and (ii) unfavorable market conditions, partly offset by (iii) a better business mix mainly driven by the US (progressive development of new redesigned Accumulator products), the UK (more Protection business) and Japan. (Chart: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20091029/NY01477) Note: 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 Detail by country: The United States New business APE decreased 41% to Euro 770 million, primarily driven by (i) lower variable annuity sales (-43%), mainly in third-party channels (brokers, banks, independent advisors), due to a decline in overall industry sales as a result of uncertain market conditions and redesigned Accumulator products with reduced benefits, (ii) lower mutual fund sales through proprietary channels (-38%), and (iii) lower Life sales (-38%), mainly in third-party channels, following a Universal Life product redesign in 1Q09. NBV margin was down 2.4 points to 2.5%, primarily as a result of higher unit costs (due to lower volumes), and lower interest rates negatively impacting the variable annuity profitability, partly offset by an improved business mix following the introduction of newly redesigned Accumulator products. A next-generation variable annuity with a variable roll-up rate is expected to be launched by the end of the year, continuing AXA's commitment to client needs and innovation in the variable annuity marketplace. Evolution versus 1H09 NBV margin (2.8%): Despite the improvement in business mix (+4.2 pts) and in market conditions (+0.5 pt), the NBV margin was slightly down as a result of deteriorating unit costs (-4.9 pts) due to lower volumes. France New business APE was up 14% to Euro 1,120 million, driven by (i) Group business (+27%), boosted by both Retirement and Protection sales, and by (ii) Individual lines (+9%), supported by non unit-linked Savings products notably benefiting from the low short-term interest rate environment, partly offset by a drop in unit-linked Savings. NBV margin was down 0.1 point to 5.6%, as a result of lower share of individual unit-linked products compensated by lower unit costs due to higher volumes. The United Kingdom New business APE was down 20% to Euro 711 million, mainly as a result of a sharp decline in offshore and onshore bond sales due to lower consumer confidence, partly offset by increasing sales in Protection. NBV margin was up 0.6 point to 10.0% due to a favorable product mix, partly offset by higher unit costs. Northern Central & Eastern Europe - Germany new business APE was up 1% to Euro 342 million mainly as a result of higher non unit-linked short term investment products and a one-off increase in Health following a change in regulation, partly offset by non recurring 2008 Riester incentive measures and lower regular premium annuities. NBV margin was down 4.6 points to 14.1% primarily due to negative investment market conditions (lower interest rates impacting "TwinStar" variable annuity profitability). - Switzerland new business APE was down 15% to Euro 208 million mainly due to limited new business opportunities in Group Life (-22%) as a result of low client turnover in the market due to adverse financial environment, partly offset by higher individual variable annuity sales ("TwinStar Income"). NBV margin was down 2.7 points to 26.3% due to a slight deterioration in business mix. - Belgium new business APE was down 10% to Euro 174 million mostly due to a decrease in individual investment & savings sales (-11%) for both unit-linked and non unit-linked products. NBV margin was up 1.2 points to 12.5% driven by a better business mix partly offset by higher unit costs due to lower volumes. - Central & Eastern Europe new business APE was up 1% to Euro 118 million. Excluding the one-off impact of lower sales of Tax wrapper products (voluntary decision), APE was up 21%, mainly driven by Hungary (new distribution agreements and products). NBV margin was up 3.4 points to 20.9% driven by better business mix (lower share of Tax wrapper products). Asia Pacific - Japan new business APE decreased by 20% to Euro 380 million, mainly driven by the bankruptcy of a large independent agent (LINA). Excluding this one-off event, APE decreased by 11% as a result of lower sales of Term products, partly offset by resilient medical and variable annuity sales. NBV margin was down 4.8 points to 52.8% mainly driven by higher unit costs and difficult investment market conditions (lower interest rate impacting the "Yen variable annuity" business) partly offset by a more favorable business mix following the end of LINA's low margin product sales. - Australia/New Zealand new business APE was down 36% to Euro 198 million, mainly due to a drop in mutual fund sales as a result of unfavorable market conditions, partly offset by increased variable annuity sales ("North" product) and growth in traditional life sales. NBV margin was up 2.5 points to 10.6% partly due to improved business mix (lower share of low margin mutual fund sales). - Hong Kong new business APE was down 8% to Euro 89 million, mainly due to a decrease in unit-linked sales given adverse market conditions, partially offset by higher traditional life sales. NBV margin was down 2.9 points to 63.6% as a result of higher unit costs due to lower volumes. - South East Asia & China new business APE was up 13% to Euro 66 million mainly driven by higher sales in Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. NBV margin was up 1.8 points to 32.8% due to improved business mix. Mediterranean and Latin America Region (MedLA) - New business APE increased by 3% to Euro 332 million, driven by higher sales in non unit-linked Investment & Savings products at AXA MPS Italian Joint-Venture in particular over the last quarter, partly offset by lower sales in unit-linked products across the board and in Group lines in Spain. - NBV margin was up 1.3 points to 13.8%, as a result of improved business mix. PROPERTY & CASUALTY / Property & Casualty - Property & Casualty revenues increased by 1% to Euro 20,524 million, driven by higher volumes in Personal lines, partly offset by negative momentum in Commercial lines as a result of the unfavourable economic environment.
