FIRST HALF 2006 RESULTS SUMMARY

Strong business fundamentals in all segments

-   Life & Savings entities delivered strong growth in 1H06, with new business premiums on an APE¹ basis up 17% to Euro 3,065 million.

New Business Value² was up 30% to Euro 670 million, resulting in a margin of 21.9%, up 2.2 points on a comparable basis compared to 1H05.

-   Property & Casualty revenues increased by 4% to Euro 10,815 million, reflecting a good sales momentum in 2Q06.

The combined ratio improved 0.6 point to 96.9%, with all entities positively contributing to this performance.

-   Asset Management revenues increased by 31% to Euro 2,090 million, with very strong net inflows of Euro 39 billion.

Both AXA Investment Managers and AllianceBernstein improved their cost income ratios, reaching respectively 70.5% (down 5.2 points) and 70.0% (down 1.9 points).

Solid earnings³growth

-   Underlying earnings were up 19%, or +17% at constant exchange rates, to Euro 2.1 billion. Life & Savings, Property & Casualty and Asset Management segments all contributed to this performance by posting double-digit growth.

-   Adjusted earnings reached Euro 2.9 billion, up 37%, or 35% at constant exchange rates, reflecting the strong contribution of net capital gains (Euro 826 million) harvested in the first months of 2006.

-   Net income stood at Euro 2.7 billion, up 20%, or 18% at constant exchange rates. Strong adjusted earnings growth was partially offset by a loss on financial assets under fair value option and derivatives mainly due to increasing interest rates over the half year.

 

¹Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) represents 100% of new business premiums plus 10% of new business single premiums. APE is group share.

²New Business Value (NBV) is group share. Details on the methodology of the NBV calculation are available in appendix 3 of this document.

³Underlying earnings are adjusted earnings, excluding net capital gains attributable to shareholders. Adjusted earnings represent net income before the impact of exceptional operations, goodwill and related intangibles amortization/impairments, and profit or loss on financial assets (under the fair value option) and derivatives. Adjusted and underlying earnings are non-GAAP measures and as such are not audited, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and should be read together with our GAAP measures. Management uses these non-GAAP measures as key indicators of performance in assessing AXA’s various businesses and believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful and important information to shareholders and investors as measures of AXA’s financial performance.

Life & Savingsnew business APE was up 17% to Euro 3,065 million, reflecting strong sales momentum in most entities, in line with trends experienced in 1Q06.

-   The United States new business APE increased by 14%, reflecting the same trends for the half year as in the first quarter, with a 22% growth in Variable Annuity and a 17% growth in Individual Life, partly offset by a 68% decrease in Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (COLI), due to the non repeat of one large case in 1Q05, and a planned 72% decline in Fixed Annuity.

-   France new business APE was up 18% to Euro 630 million, mainly due to Individual Business up 19%, reflecting very strong growth in individual unit-linked premiums (up 46% to represent 35% of individual investments & savings new business) and Individual Life and Health (up 26%, benefiting from 2005 and 2006 product launches). Group new business was up 14%, mainly reflecting the positive impact of one large pension contract.

-   The United Kingdom new business APE was up 25% to Euro 477 million, driven by Investments and Savings new business (+27%), largely due to unit-linked investment bonds, and increased sales of pension products. Protection business was up 10%, following growth in AXA Protection Account sales, launched at the end of 2004.

-   Japan new business APE was up 34% to Euro 337 million. Individual business grew by 33%, mainly due to new Term Life products and riders as well as SPA (savings product) sales, partly offset by a 4% reduction in health sales. The LTPA⁴ product contributed positively to Japan new business growth, but with declining momentum in 2Q06 due to changes to the tax regulation in April 2006. Group new business was up 45%, driven by sales from the recently launched New Mutual Aid product.

-   Australia and New-Zealand new business APE was up 18% to Euro 204 million, driven byinstitutional mandates and the continuing success of mezzanine funds for both wholesale and retail clients following their positive investment track record.

⁴LTPA=Long Term Personal Accident

-   Belgium new business APE was up 9% to Euro 163 million, mainly driven by Crest 40, the most recent product from the general account Crest series, and by structured unit-linked investment and savings products, notably AXA Life Invest.

-   Germany new business APE was down 12% to Euro 127 million, reflecting the phasing out of the end 2004 tax reform-related backlog effect (APE was down 31% is 1Q06). Excluding this backlog effect, new business increased 33%, notably driven by unit-linked investment & savings products, including the first weeks of sale of TwinStar (US-style unit-linked product with secondary guarantees).

Overall, Unit-Linked new business APE represented 49% of total Life & Savings APE in 1H06, compared to 45% in 1H05.

Life & Savings New Business Value was up 30% to Euro 670 million, resulting in a margin of 21.9%, up 2.2 points compared to 1H05, mainly driven by higher volume and unit cost improvement across the Group and, to a lesser extent, by the positive impact from higher risk free rates in the US.

Product mix significantly contributed to margin improvement in France, Germany and the US, whereas it had a negative impact in Japan, due to the planned shift towards investment and savings products, and in the UK, due to strong new business growth in pension products.

Property & Casualty revenues increased by 4% to Euro 10,815 million, reflecting good sales momentum in 2Q06 and a satisfactory pricing resilience in a more competitive environment.

Personal lines (61% of P&C premiums) showed overall growth of 4%.

Motor revenues grew 4% in the first half of 2006, largely driven by the UK & Ireland (up 18%, following the revamping of the UK motor offer), followed by Germany and Southern Europe, both up 4%, driven by net inflows. Overall, total individual motor inflows reached 556,000 contracts.

Non-motor revenues increased 5%, mainly driven by strong new business in household in the UK, growth in all business segments in Southern Europe and price increases in France and Belgium.

4

Commercial Lines (37% of P&C premiums) recorded a 3% growth.

Motor revenues increased by 1% as growth in Belgium (+5%), France (+3%), and the UK & Ireland (+2%) was partly offset by stable revenues in Southern Europe, due to the non renewal of some large fleet contracts, and a decrease in Germany (-3%).

Non-motor revenues were up 3% due to the UK & Ireland up 7%, mainly driven by new business on Commercial Property and Health, and France up 7%, notably driven by price increases in Liability lines.

Asset Management revenues increased by 31% to Euro 2,090 million driven by higher average assets under management (AUM) (+19% compared to 1H05) and a more favorable client/product mix. In 1H06, Asset Managers net inflows amounted to Euro 39 billion, with a very strong contribution from AllianceBernstein (Euro 23 billion) and a continuing good performance of AXA Investment Managers (Euro 15 billion).

AXA Group total AUM were Euro 1,091 billion as of June 30, 2006.

International Insurance⁵revenues increased by 7% to Euro 2,520 million, with AXA Corporate Solutions Assurance up 4%, driven by selective portfolio development, and other international businesses were up 13%, notably driven by strong activity level at AXA Assistance.

Under the terms of the agreement, the business of AXA Re is expected to be ceded in 2007, with the risks and corresponding net income related to AXA Re’s 2006 claims experience assuming to Paris Re Holdings Limited. AXA Re’s revenues, reported under “Other Transnational Activities” amounted to Euro 978 million in 1H06 versus Euro 1,056 million in 1H05, and are excluded from comparison between 1H05 and 1H06 on a comparable basis.

UNDERLYING EARNINGS

1H06 underlying earnings improved by 19%, or +17% at constant exchange rates, to Euro 2,090 million, reflecting double digit growth in the three main segments.

IFRS (Euro million)	1H05	1H06	Change	Change @ Cst FX
Life & Savings	972	1,224	+26%	+24%
Property & Casualty	695	780	+12%	+11%

(a)   On June 6, 2006, AXA announced the signing of a definitive agreement to cede AXA RE’s business to Paris Re Holdings Limited. As a consequence, AXA RE’s contribution to underlying earnings in 1H06 (Euro 4 million) corresponds mainly to the run-off of 2005 and previous year reserves (AXA RE’s contribution to 1H05 underlying earnings was Euro 55 million).

For underlying earnings analysis below, percentage changes between IH06 and IH05 are presented at constant exchange rates.

Life & Savings underlying earnings increased by 24% to Euro 1,224 million. All margins contributed to this result, in line with trends recorded in full year 2005.

Excluding positive non-recurring items⁶in 1H05 in Japan (Euro 47 million), Life & Savings underlying earnings were up 30% in 1H06, as gross margin increased 15% while expenses were up 8%.

The underlying margin analysis presented below is excluding Japan 1H05 non-recurring items.

Underlying investment margin was up 7% to Euro 1,201 million, reflecting overall higher general account balances and higher dividend levels on equities. In particular, Japan benefited from higher dividend distribution on its alternative portfolio.

Fees & Revenues were up 16% to Euro 2,876 million. Insurance fees and loadings were up 13%, notably driven by higher separate account average balances in the US and France, and by the successful launches of a new Onshore Bond in the UK and of new Term products in Japan. Health revenues were up 18%, driven by new business in Germany and a more favorable product mix in Japan. Mutual fund revenues were up 24%, mainly due to strong sales in Australia.

Net technical margin was up 26% to Euro 687 million. The mortality/morbidity margin was up 22%, notably due to higher GMDB/IB spread in the US and more favorable health claims termination experience in Australia. The technical margin also benefited from a positive adjustment to unit-linked reserves in the UK, following resolution of tax matters on years 1998 to 2004.

⁶Japan's 1H05 underlying earnings included non recurring elements for a net impact of Euro 47 million including a positive tax impact (Euro 188 million) reflecting the improvement in recoverability  of tax losses carried forward, partly offset by additional VBI and DAC amortization due to a change in future investment assumptions (Euro -136 million)

6

Gross margin (the sum of the above margins) was up 15% to Euro 4,764 million.

Expenses, net of DAC/DOC and VBI were up 8% to Euro -2,953 million, reflecting an increase in commissions and a tight control of non commission expenses⁷, up only 2%.

Income tax expense and minority interests were up 29%, to Euro -587 million, in line with the 30% growth of pre-tax and pre-minority interests underlying earnings.

Property & Casualty underlying earnings were up 11% to Euro 780 million, mainly driven by a 0.6 point improvement in the combined ratio to 96.9%, together with the effect of increased volumes. All regions contributed positively to this performance.

	Combined ratios
Ratios in %	HY 2006	Change from HY 2005
France	97.7	-0.8
Germany	96.4	-0.3
UK & Ireland	96.7	-0.6
Belgium	95.5	-1.0
Southern Europe	98.8	-0.3
Other countries	94.4	-0.4
Total P&C	96.9	-0.6

Loss ratio improved 1.7 points to 68.5%, notably reflecting better claims experience in the UK and in Belgium and positive prior years developments in France and Germany.

Expense ratio increased 1.1 points to 28.4%. This increase was mostly driven by an increase of the acquisition expense ratio, up 1.0 point, reflecting (i) the cost of a very successful marketing campaign in personal motor in Germany, which resulted in a net inflow of +138,000 motor policies, and (ii) a shift towards higher commission business in the UK and in Germany.

Reserve ratios⁸ remained at high levels compared to 1H05, with the net technical reserves to net earned premiums ratio flat at 198%, while the net claims reserves to net claims paid ratio was up 17 points to 279%.

Investment income⁹ was up Euro 55 million to Euro 878 million, mainly reflecting a higher average asset base.

International Insurance underlying earnings were down 39% to Euro 64 million.

On June 6, 2006, AXA announced the signing of a definitive agreement to cede AXA RE’s business to Paris Re Holdings Limited. As a consequence, AXA RE’s contribution to underlying earnings in 1H06 (Euro 4 million) corresponds mainly to the run-off of 2005 and previous year reserves (AXA RE’s contribution to 1H05 underlying earnings was Euro 55 million).

Excluding AXA RE’s contribution in 1H05, International Insurance underlying earnings were up 32%.

AXA Corporate Solutions Assurance underlying earnings were up 13% to Euro 44 million, mainly driven by increased revenues, while the combined ratio remained stable, at 100.5%.

Other international activities underlying earnings increased by Euro 10 million to Euro 20 million, notably reflecting the non-recurrence of 1H05 negative development on 2004 Florida hurricanes in AXA RE’s US run-off portfolio.

Asset Management underlying earnings were up 47% to Euro 233 million, benefiting from higher average AUM¹⁰ (up 19%), notably driven by very strong net inflows of Euro 39 billion.

Total AUM for Asset Managers¹¹ at the end of June 2006 was Euro 933 billion, up 5% at constant exchange rates versus December 31, 2005.

AllianceBernstein underlying earnings increased 32% to Euro 135 million, driven by higher average AUM (+16%), a more favorable product mix and a 1.9 point improvement in the operating cost income ratio, to 70.0%.

AXA Investment Managers underlying earnings increased 71% to Euro 98 million, driven by higher average AUM (+22%) and a positive client and product mix evolution, while expenses grew at a slower pace, resulting in a 5.2 point improvement in the operating cost income ratio, to 70.5%.

Other Financial Services & Holdings underlying earnings decreased by Euro 46 million to Euro -212 million. AXA Bank Belgium underlying earnings evolution reflected the non recurrence of the release of a provision for risks related to loan activities in France. AXA SA was notably impacted by higher financial charges related to the financing of the buy-back of the FINAXA exchangeable bonds and increasing investments to develop the AXA brand.

ADJUSTED EARNINGS

1H06 adjusted earnings were up 37%, or 35% at constant exchange rates, to Euro 2,916 million, driven by the solid underlying earnings performance and by the very strong increase in net capital gains attributable to shareholders, to Euro 826 million.

1H06 net capital gains attributable to shareholders were realized on the back of favorable equity markets in the first 4 months of 2006.

NET INCOME, GROUP SHARE

Net income of Euro 2,729 million increased by 20%, or by 18% at constant exchange rates, as the increase in adjusted earnings was partly offset by the negative impact of rising interest rates on fixed income mutual funds under fair value option in operating entities, and on interest rate derivatives, mainly at AXA SA. Exceptional operations amounted to Euro 92 million, mainly driven by a dilution gain from the issuance of Alliance Holding units and related adjustment of deferred tax liability also resulting from dilution gain from prior period.

BALANCE SHEET

As of June 30, 2006, shareholders' equity was Euro 31.7 billion, down 6% compared to December 31, 2005, primarily reflecting the impact of increasing bond yields on the fair value of fixed income assets recorded through shareholders equity, and the payment of 2005 dividend, partly offset by retained earnings for the period.

Total unrealized capital gains attributable to shareholders were Euro 8.8 billion as of 06/30/06 of which:

-   Euro 5.3 billion of fair value of invested assets recorded through shareholders’ equity, down Euro 2.9 billion versus December 31, 2005, mainly due to the impact of increasing interest rates on fixed income securities,

-   Euro 1.3 billion of unrealized capital gains on real estate and loans (not recorded through shareholders’ equity), versus Euro 1.4 billion on December 31, 2005,

-   Euro 2.2 billion of unrealized gain on AllianceBernstein investment (not recorded through shareholders’ equity), versus Euro 2.3 billion on December 31, 2005.

On a gross basis, unrealized gains on fixed maturities decreased by Euro 8.5 billion, of which 84% in the Life & Savings segment, where most fixed maturities are held. However, Life EEV sensitivity analyses (see full year 2005 disclosure) show that an increase in interest rates is positive to Life EEV. As a result, the impact of increased interest rates in first half 2006 on the overall economic value of the Group is positive.

As of June 30, 2006, gearing stood at 37%, down 1 point from December 31, 2005.

OUTLOOK

After a strong 2005 performance, AXA delivered on its organic growth objectives in the first half of 2006, resulting in strong earnings growth in Life & Savings, Property & Casualty and Asset Management, ahead of AXA’s Ambition 2012 aspirational growth targets.

Management believes that the Group is entering the second half of 2006 with good momentum in terms of revenues, combined ratio and new business value.

A prolongation of the present financial market environment with moderately rising interest rates and favorable equity markets should remain positive for Life & Savings and Asset Management.

In Property & Casualty, barring any major catastrophic event, despite the less positive underwriting environment, the combined ratio should remain in line with first half 2006 level.

First half realized capital gains exceed guidance for 2006.

AXA's continued strong organic growth focus, augmented by the earnings accretive pending acquisition of Winterthur, will enhance AXA's long term capacity to successfully deliver an earnings growth per share in line with Ambition 2012.

NB:  1H06 NBV calculation is using profitability factors by product from year-end 2005 with some period-appropriate adjustments:

 -   Reflects actual business volumes and product mix for sales through June 30 (March 31 for Japan, consistent with accounting half year)

-   NBV profitability factors updated to reflect risk-free yield curves (government bond yields) as of May 31 2006 (March 31 for Japan)

-   Other economic parameters (volatilities & correlations) not updated from year-end 2005

-   Unit acquisition costs have generally been updated to reflect impact of increased volumes relative to fixed costs (except US and Belgium)

-   In most countries, demographic assumptions have not been updated since year-end 2005 reporting

-   All significant product pricing adjustments made since year-end 2005 have been reflected in updated factors

-   Modeling has been updated for various model enhancements resulting in a small negative impact

Tillinghast reviewed the 1H05 and 1H06 NBV

As a reminder, 1H05 has been stated on a proforma basis using actual business volumes and mix for 1H05, but profitability factors as at year-end 2005 on an European Embedded Value basis
