Total revenues down 2% to Euro 66 billion

 

 

Life & Savings New Business Value up 11% driven by a continued improvement in business mix

 

 

Property & Casualty revenues up 3% driven by underwriting discipline

 

 

Asset management revenues up 4%

 

 

Robust balance sheet, with solvency I ratio estimated above 190% and economic capital ratio estimated above 150%

“Our top line trends for the first nine months are generally in line with those observed in the half year, with continued selectivity across all business lines. Going forward, we will continue to deliver on our strategic priorities and benefit from the strength of our balance sheet which allows us to navigate through the current market conditions”, commented Denis Duverne, Deputy CEO of AXA.

“In Life & Savings, our activities showed a significant improvement in mix towards profitable businesses, with a 13% growth in Protection & Health and a greater share of Unit-Linked in new Savings contracts. This resulted in improved new business profitability.

In Property & Casualty, we experienced revenue growth of 3%, benefiting from strong performance in high growth markets and Direct, combined with selective underwriting and rate increases across the board.

In Asset management, revenues increased 4%, driven by higher performance fees and real estate transaction fees at AXA IM as well as higher research fees at AllianceBernstein.”

All comments are on a comparable basis (constant Forex, scope and methodology for activity indicators). 9M10 APE and NBV of the sold UK operations are excluded from reported figures. 9M11 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 the overall Group revenues for 9M10 and 9M11.

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.

Revenues

 

 

Total Revenues were down 2% to Euro 65,945 million.

 

 

Life & Savings revenues were down 5% to Euro 39,790 million.

New Business Volume (APE1) was down 1% to Euro 4,255 million mainly driven by a strong performance in General Account (“G/A”) Protection & Health business up 13%, more than offset by a 22% decrease in G/A Savings business. Unit-Linked APE was down 4%.

New Business Value (NBV2) was up 11% to Euro 1,147 million, mainly driven by an improved business mix towards G/A Protection & Health and towards Unit-Linked within the Savings business.

As a result, and combined with a favourable country mix effect, new business margin was up 3 pts to 27%, with high margin levels in both G/A Protection & Health business at 49% and Unit-Linked business at 25%. Nevertheless, if current financial market conditions were to persist, they are expected to affect new business margin as measured at year end.

Net inflows amounted to Euro +4.5 billion vs. Euro +7.8 billion in 9M10. By business, we experienced strong net inflows in G/A Protection & Health (Euro +4.1 billion) and Unit-Linked (Euro +2.0 billion), party offset by net outflows in G/A Savings (Euro -1.7 billion).

 

 

Property & Casualty revenues were up 3% to Euro 21,087 million. Personal lines revenues grew 4% largely driven by a 4.6% average price increase. Commercial lines revenues grew 2% mainly driven by a 2.4% average price increase, whilst favorable change in business mix was offset by lower volumes in a context of selective underwriting.

On average, prices increased by 3.7%.

 

 

Asset Management revenues were up 4% to Euro 2,443 million, mainly driven by higher performance fees and real estate transaction fees at AXA IM as well as higher research fees at AllianceBernstein. Average assets under management decreased slightly, down 1% to Euro 837 billion. AXA IM experienced net inflows of Euro +2 billion, whilst AllianceBernstein net outflows amounted to Euro -35 billion, mainly from institutional clients.

Balance sheet update

AXA’s balance sheet remained robust at September 30, 2011 despite current financial market conditions:

 

 

Regulatory solvency I ratio was estimated above 190% (vs. 186% at June 30, 2011), close to historically highest level.

 

 

Economic capital ratio5 was estimated above 150% (vs. 184% at June 30, 2011). The decrease was primarily driven by credit spread widening and the decrease in both interest rates and equity markets.

 

 

Unrealized gains on fixed income assets amounted to approximately Euro 3.6 billion (vs. Euro 2.6 billion at June 30, 2011), of which Euro 4.6 billion on fixed income assets excluding government bonds of Eurozone peripheral countries.

Changes in scope

Partial sale of UK Life operations and sale of Canadian operations

Following the partial sale of the UK Life operations, published 9M10 APE and NBV were restated to exclude volumes and margins related to the sold portion of the business.

Following the sale of the Canadian operations, these operations are treated as discontinued operations in AXA’s consolidated financial statements. As a consequence, their revenues are restated from the overall Group revenues aggregate.

G/A Protection & Health new business APE (38% of total) was up 13% to Euro 1,632 million, mainly driven by Switzerland (strong sales in Group Life), the US (launch of the new “Indexed Universal Life” product), Germany (favourable change in regulation facilitating access to private Health insurance) and France (mainly Group Protection and success of the “Family Protection” product).

 

 

G/A Savings new business APE (20% of total) was down 22% to Euro 837 million, mainly driven by Italy (mostly non repeat of 2010 fiscal amnesty and stronger focus on Unit-Linked products), France (uncertainties on Life insurance tax regulation and increased competition from short term banking accounts) and Belgium (more conservative offer in a low profitability environment).

 

 

Unit-Linked new business APE (31% of total) was down 4% to Euro 1,338 million, mainly driven by (i) the UK (down 14% due to lower volumes in pension products following change in minimum pension age adopted last year) and (ii) Continental Europe (down 4%) with Germany down 33% mainly as a result of Variable Annuity product repricing, non-repeat of 1H10 marketing campaign on Unit-Linked Savings products and difficult financial markets conditions, partly offset by France up 15% notably driven by the “Bonus Euro+” initiative. These negative impacts were partly compensated by South-East Asia, India & China up 15% mainly driven by strong sales through Bank Mandiri branches in Indonesia.

 

 

Mutual funds & Other new business APE (11% of total) was up 14% to Euro 448 million as strong performance of the wrap platform Elevate in the UK was partly offset by lower pension fund sales in CEE.

As a result, new business value (NBV2) was up 11% to Euro 1,147 million, mainly driven by an improved business mix towards G/A Protection & Health and Unit-Linked businesses, as well as a favourable country mix effect.

In mature markets, NBV was up 13% to Euro 849 million. In high growth markets, NBV was up 6% to Euro 298 million (26% of total NBV) mainly in South-East Asia, India & China (up 19%), as a result of continued high profitability levels combined with strong growth in volumes, partly offset by CEE (down 28%) where the closing of pension fund new business in Poland and Hungary following a change in regulation affected sales.

…leading to an increase in New Business Margin

NBV margin was up 3 pts to 27%, comprised of 24% NBV margin in mature markets and 43% NBV margin in high growth markets.

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. These assumptions will be updated at year-end 2011 and will notably take into account, if current market conditions were to persist, the decline in interest rates and equity markets, as well as the increase in volatility.

New Business Volume (APE1) and margins by country

 

 

New Business Volume (APE1) was down 1% to Euro 4,255 million, as strong sales in Switzerland (+28%), Germany (+5%), the US (+8%), Hong Kong (+27%) and South-East Asia, India & China (+15%) were more than offset by decreases in Italy (-37%), Belgium (-28%), CEE (-19%) and Japan (-9%).

Northern Central and Eastern Europe: Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Central and Eastern Europe. Luxemburg’s APE and NBV are not modelled.

(b)

Mediterranean and Latin American Region: Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Mexico, Morocco and Greece.

The United States

New business APE increased by 8% to Euro 749 million, primarily driven by increases in both G/A Protection & Health with the launch of the new “Indexed Universal Life” product and in Unit-Linked Savings with Variable Annuities, as strong sales of “Retirement Cornerstone” and the roll-out of the new “Structured Capital Strategies” product to all distribution channels since 4Q 10 were partly offset by lower sales of “Accumulator”.

NBV margin was up 2 points to 15%, mainly driven by lower unit costs reflecting higher volumes as well as improved business mix, notably driven by the launch of the new “Indexed Universal Life” product.

France

New business APE was down 4% to Euro 956 million, mostly driven by:

(i) G/A Savings sales down 15%, mainly in Individual lines following fewer large contracts on traditional business, negative impact from uncertainties around the Life insurance tax regulation and increased competition from short term banking accounts with higher offered rates, partly offset by:

(ii) Unit-Linked sales up 15%, benefiting from the “Bonus Euro+” initiative despite market slowdown in August and September. Unit-Linked share in Individual Savings premiums was 19% in 9M11 (above market average which was 15%) and by

(iii) G/A Protection & Health sales up 5%, mainly driven by an increase in Group Protection sales and the success of the “Family Protection” product.

NBV margin was up 2 points to 13%, mostly driven by improved business mix as a result of higher proportion of Protection products as well as higher share of Unit-Linked sales.

The United Kingdom

New business APE was up 1% to Euro 418 million, mainly driven by strong Mutual Funds sales through the Elevate wrap platform. This was mostly offset by lower sales of Individual pension products (change in minimum pension age adopted last year), as well as lower corporate pension sales due to fewer large schemes underwritten in 2011.

NBV margin was stable at 5%.

Northern Central & Eastern Europe

 

 

Germany new business APE was up 5% to Euro 377 million, mainly driven by strong sales in G/A Protection & Health supported by a favourable change in regulation in Health facilitating access to private Health insurance. This was partly offset by a decrease in Unit-Linked sales mainly as a result of Twinstar Variable Annuity product repricing, non repeat of 1H10 marketing campaign on Unit-Linked Savings products and difficult financial markets conditions.

NBV margin was up 2 points to 23%, mainly driven by the repricing of Twinstar Variable Annuity product in 3Q10.

 

 

Switzerland new business APE was up 28% to Euro 338 million, mainly due to strong sales in Group Life.

NBV margin was down 1 point to 45%.

 

 

Belgium new business APE was down 28% to Euro 128 million, mostly due to a decrease in G/A Savings sales reflecting a more conservative offer in a low profitability market environment.

NBV margin was down 1 point to 8%, mainly due to increase in unit costs reflecting lower volumes, partly offset by a slight improvement in business mix.

 

 

Central & Eastern Europe new business APE was down 19% to Euro 168 million. The closing of new business in Pension Funds following the new regulations in Hungary and Poland was partly compensated by the success of the strategic focus on Individual Unit-Linked business (up 41%).

NBV margin was down 2 pts to 18%, mainly due to higher unit costs reflecting lower volumes, partly offset by improved business mix towards Individual Unit-Linked.

Asia Pacific

 

 

Japan new business APE was down 9% to Euro 337 million, mainly driven by the non-repeat of strong Variable Annuity product sales in 1H10 anticipating the end of tax advantage, and by a decrease in Health sales.

NBV margin was up 11 points to 82%, mainly driven by improved business mix (notably due to focus on higher margin products in G/A Protection & Health), partly offset by higher unit costs.

 

 

Hong Kong new business APE was up 27% to Euro 243 million, driven by strong performance in G/A Protection & Health, Unit-Linked and Mutual Funds businesses.

NBV margin was down 12 points to 60%, mainly driven by the launch of new products in a more competitive market combined with increased expenses to support growth momentum.

 

 

South-East Asia, India & China new business APE was up 15% to Euro 240 million, mostly reflecting strong sales of Unit-Linked products, in particular in Indonesia through Bank Mandiri branches.

NBV margin was up 2 points to 48%, mostly reflecting favorable country mix with increasing contribution from Indonesia (NBV margin of 62%).

Mediterranean and Latin America Region (MedLA)

 

 

New business APE was down 30% to Euro 302 million, mainly impacted by lower G/A Savings sales in Italy with the non repeat of 2010 fiscal amnesty, partly offset by a stronger focus on Unit-Linked sales (+22%) mainly in Italy, through AXA MPS Joint-Venture.

 

 

NBV margin was up 7 points to 22%, mainly reflecting significant improvement in business mix, more than offsetting higher unit costs.

Property & Casualty

Change in presentation

In order to improve visibility on P&C Direct activities, Direct P&C is now reported as a separate business unit and no longer as part of countries or regions. 9M10 figures in the table below already reflect this change. Please refer to Appendix 8 for more details.

Property & Casualty revenues were up 3% to Euro 21,087 million. Personal lines revenues grew 4% largely driven by a 4.6% average price increase. Commercial lines revenues grew 2%, mainly driven by a 2.4% average price increase, whilst favorable change in business mix was offset by lower volumes in a context of selective underwriting.

Overall, prices increased by 3.7% on average.

Property & Casualty revenues strongly increased both in high growth markets (+14%), mainly in Turkey and Mexico, and in Direct (+10%).

Net new personal contracts in high growth markets and Direct amounted to +664k and +204k respectively, representing 77% of total net new personal contracts which amounted to +1,124k.

Germany (+9%), as a result of both (i) higher volumes benefiting from a slowdown in price competition and (ii) price increases with the launch of two new product ranges with higher tariffs,

 

   

Direct (+8%) mainly driven by the UK primarily as a result of tariff increases, as well as strong growth in Italy, France and Poland.

Personal Motor net new contracts amounted to +910k.

Personal Non-Motor revenues (24% of total P&C revenues) increased 2% in particular Direct business (+31%), mainly in the UK, supported by the launch of Home products in 2010 and 2011, and France (+3%) led by price increases.

Household net new contracts amounted to +214k.

Commercial lines revenues (39% of total P&C revenues) were up 2%, largely driven by a 2.4% average price increase, whilst favorable change in business mix was offset by lower volumes in a context of selective underwriting.

 

 

Commercial Motor revenues (8% of total P&C revenues) were up 4% notably driven by Mexico (+17%) and the UK (+16%) as a result of both tariff increases and higher new business. This was partly offset by selective underwriting in other MedLA region countries.

 

 

Commercial Non-Motor revenues (31% of total P&C revenues) were up 2% largely driven by (i) MedLA (+6%), in particular Turkey (+27%) and Mexico (+10%) mainly driven by large accounts in Property and the Gulf Region (+13%) with strong new business in Health, and by (ii) the UK (+2%) supported by volume growth and tariff increases in Health. This was partly offset by Spain (-5%), due to the difficult economic environment.

Market impact: Euro -20 billion mainly at AllianceBernstein.

 

   

Forex impact: Euro -2 billion as a result of the slight depreciation of the USD versus the Euro.
