THIS PRESS RELEASE IS AVAILABLE ON THE AXA GROUP WEBSITE axa.com IMPORTANT LEGAL INFORMATION AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Certain statements contained herein may be forward-looking statements including, but not limited to, statements that are predictions of or indicate future events, trends, plans, expectations or objectives, and other information that is not historical information. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by words and expressions such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “may”, “plan” or any variations or similar terminology of these words and expressions, or conditional verbs such as, without limitations, “would” and “could”. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements because, by their nature, they are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside AXA’s control, and can be affected by other factors that could cause AXA’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. Each forward-looking statement speaks only at the date of this press release. Please refer to Chapter 5 - “Risk factors and Risk Management” of AXA’s Universal Registration Document for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Universal Registration Document”), for a description of certain important factors, risks and uncertainties that may affect AXA’s business and/or results of operations. AXA specifically disclaims and undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether to reflect new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws and regulations. This press release refers to one or more non-GAAP financial measures, or alternative performance measures (“APMs”), used by Management in analyzing AXA’s operating trends, financial performance and financial position and providing investors with additional information that Management believes to be useful and relevant regarding AXA’s results. These non-GAAP financial measures generally have no standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similarly labelled measures used by other companies. As a result, none of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Group’s consolidated financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with IFRS. “Underlying earnings”, “underlying earnings per share”, “underlying return on equity”, “combined ratio” and “debt gearing” are APMs as defined in ESMA’s guidelines and the AMF’s related position statement issued in 2015. AXA defines these APMs and provides their reconciliation to the most closely related line item, subtotal, or total in the financial statements of the corresponding period (and/or their calculation methodology, as applicable) in the Glossary of the 2024 Universal Registration Document.
