IMPORTANT LEGAL INFORMATION AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
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”. In particular, the statements in the “Outlook” section of this report, including the capital management and distribution policy, are based on the current views and intentions of the Board of Directors and are subject to change. 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 forwardlooking statement speaks only at the date of this report. Please refer to Part 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 forwardlooking statements, whether to reflect new information, future events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws and regulations.
USE OF NON-GAAP AND ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES
This report refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures, or alternative performance measures (“APMs”), used by Management in analysing 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 financial measures and information in the Group’s Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and related notes contained herein, prepared in accordance with IFRS (the “Consolidated Interim Financial Statements”). 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 Consolidated Interim Financial Statements on the pages indicated in the section “Alternative Performance Measures” of this report. For further information on any of the above-mentioned APMs, please see the definitions in the section “Alternative Performance Measures” on pages 565 to 566 in the 2024 Universal Registration Document, in its Appendix IV “Glossary”.

The size of this share buy-back program was based on the expected number of shares to be issued under Shareplan 2025 and to be delivered under the relevant stock-based compensation schemes. The share buy-back program was carried out in accordance with and subject to the terms of the applicable Shareholders’ Meeting authorization(2).
Under the share repurchase agreement(3), the share buy-back commenced on June 3, 2025, and ended on June 30, 2025. On each day during the purchase period, the price per share paid by AXA(4) was determined on the basis of the volume-weighted average share price.

AXA completed the sale of AXA Investment Managers to BNP Paribas
On July 1, 2025, AXA announced that it completed the sale of AXA Investment Manager (“AXA IM”) to BNP Paribas for cash proceeds(1) of Euro 5.1 billion. AXA also closed the sale of Select to AXA IM for a consideration of Euro 0.3 billion, bringing the total transaction value to the previously announced amount
of Euro 5.4 billion(2)(3).
AXA and BNP Paribas also entered into a long-term partnership under which BNP Paribas provides investment management services to AXA. AXA retains full authority over product design, asset allocation and asset-liability management decisions. The combination of AXA IM and BNP Paribas creates a leading European asset manager, with total assets under management of Euro 1.5 trillion(4).
Expected financial impacts of the transaction:
• The transaction results in a one-off net income gain of ca. Euro 2.2 billion, as well as an expected reduction in underlying earnings of ca. Euro 0.4 billion on an annualized basis for the Group.
• The transaction and the associated share buyback program are expected to have an impact of ca. +2 points on AXA’s Solvency II ratio.
• The transaction is expected to have no material impact on the key financial targets(5) that were communicated as part of the “Unlock the Future” plan.
Execution of a share repurchase agreement of up to Euro 3.8 billion following the sale of AXA IM
On July 1, 2025, AXA executed a share repurchase agreement with an investment services provider, whereby AXA is carrying out a program to buy back its own shares for a maximum amount of Euro 3.8 billion to offset the earnings dilution from the sale of AXA Investment Managers to BNP Paribas, as announced on August 1, 2024.
The share repurchase agreement will be executed in accordance with the terms of the applicable Shareholders’ Meeting authorization.
Under the share repurchase agreement, the buy-back commenced on July 2, 2025, and will end at the latest on February 26, 2026. On each day during the purchase period, the price per share to be paid by AXA(6) will be determined on the basis of the volume-weighted average share price.
AXA will progressively cancel all shares repurchased thereunder.
(1) For 100% share capital of AXA IM, of which 98% is owned by the AXA Group.
(2) Completed in two tranches: €0.1bn in March 2024 and €0.2bn in March 2025.
(3) Select (formerly named ‘Architas’) was, before the sale of AXA IM to BNP Paribas, an AXA company offering investment solutions, including management of funds, investment management services, advisory services, and investment related services, to retail customers in France, Belgium, Hong Kong, and Indonesia.
(4) As of December 31, 2024, based on companies’ financial disclosures.
(5) Underlying earnings per share CAGR 2023-2026E between 6% and 8%, Underlying return on equity between 14% and 16% over 2024 to 2026E, and over Euro 21 billion cumulative organic cash upstream over 2024 to 2026E.
(6) The purchase price will not exceed the maximum purchase price approved at the applicable Shareholders’ Meeting.
AXA announced the acquisition of Prima, the leading direct insurance player in Italy
On August 1, 2025, AXA announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire Prima. Since its launch in 2015, Prima, which operates as a Managing General Agent (“MGA”), has emerged as the leading direct insurance player in Italy, achieving a top position with Euro 1.2 billion of premiums, ca. 10%(1) overall market share in Retail Motor and a combined ratio of 90%(2) in 2024.
The acquisition of Prima is expected to strengthen AXA’s position in Italy by almost doubling the size of its Motor business. Furthermore, the acquisition of Prima would bolster AXA's position in the direct distribution channel which generated Euro 3.5 billion in premiums for the Group in 2024, across eight geographies, with leading positions in four.
Under the terms of the agreement, AXA will acquire 51% of the company(3) for a consideration of Euro 0.5 billion. Call/put options(4) with an exercise price tied to Prima’s earnings have been granted respectively to AXA and minority stakeholders for the remaining 49%. Taking into account the capital required to back the planned re-capture of premiums and underwriting margin currently earned by third party insurance carriers, the total consideration represents an expected price-to-earnings multiple of ca. 11x.
Including the re-capture of the business currently written by third party insurance carriers, the transaction is expected to result in an impact of -6 points(5) on AXA Group’s Solvency II ratio.
Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals, and is expected to take place by the end of 2025.
(1) Estimate based on 2024 policy count.
(2) Estimated 2024 all-year discounted combined ratio, combining Prima and third-party insurance carriers' margins.
(3) AXA will own 51% of the MGA but expects to recapture 100% of the premiums currently written in Italy and Spain by third party insurers.
(4)To be exercised in 2029 or 2030.
(5)The -6 points impact consists of (i) a -4 points impact upon closing, related to the €0.5 billion cost for a 51% share, plus net present value of the cost of acquiring the 49% minority stake in Prima in 2029 or 2030 through the put/call option agreements, in accordance with Solvency II requirements, and (ii) an estimated -2 points impact from the planned progressive re-capture of the premiums underwritten by third-party insurers, starting in the second half of 2026.

Despite ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, global equity markets continued their upward trajectory, supported by robust earnings, sustained resilience of economic indicators, but with a cautious wait-and-see stance from investors.
The MSCI global equity index posted a 9% increase despite a turbulent first six months shaped by shifting monetary expectations, renewed geopolitical frictions, and increasing signs of a global growth slowdown.
In the United States, the S&P 500 rose by 5%. Following a strong start to the year, markets faced a sharp decline in April due to uncertainty surrounding U.S trade tensions, with a rebound in May when initially proposed U.S. tariff increases were paused. However, the recovery remains volatile in an uncertain economic context.
In Europe, the Eurostoxx 50 index rose by 8% in the first half of the year supported by fiscal stimulus in Germany and cheaper energy prices. In France, the CAC 40 gained a modest 4%, reflecting ongoing investor concerns over debt sustainability, which weighed on rate-sensitive sectors. In the United Kingdom, the FTSE 100 rose by 7%, thanks to energy sector performance and improving inflation dynamics, despite ongoing weak consumer demand and economic indicators.
In Asia, Japan’s stock markets increased by 1%, helped by a weaker Yen and strong corporate share buybacks. While the markets demonstrated strong performance earlier in the year, the recent correction highlights investor apprehension regarding the sustainability of growth and challenges in export-oriented sectors due to slowing global trade and softer demand from China.

After a relatively contained year in 2024, bond markets entered 2025 under renewed upward pressure, driven by persistent inflation and delayed monetary easing, as well as growing fiscal concerns in key economies. However, yield performance has varied across the United States, Europe and Asia.
In the United States, having started the year at 4.57%, yields peaked in January supported by macroeconomic figures and an expected gradual rate-cut by the Federal Reserve. However, with increased economic uncertainty and escalating trade tensions, yields decreased to 4.23% by the end of June despite the Federal Reserve’s position to leave rates unchanged.
In Europe, yields rose broadly as investors reassessed fiscal risks and interest rate paths. The German Bund increased by 24bps to 2.61%, reflecting uncertainty around Germany’s debt brake, military spending commitments, and weaker growth data. French OAT yields rose by 9bps to 3.29%, due to concerns about public finances in the context of an expected deficit exceeding 5%. The UK gilt yields fell by 8bps to 4.49%, but doubts persisted over the sustainability of Labour’s fiscal program. The Italian BTP yields fell by 5bps to 3.48%, benefiting from fiscal prudence and a relatively calmer political landscape, narrowing the spread with France and Germany. Swiss yields increased by 11bps to 0.44% in line with shifting global rate expectations and renewed eurozone fiscal concerns.
In Japan, yields surged by 33bps reaching 1.43%. The Bank of Japan stepped up its normalization process in a context of higher than-targeted inflation and rising wages, marking a structural shift in Japanese rate expectations.
Corporate spreads have modestly widened in the first half of 2025, following two years of sustained tightening. This shift reflects renewed macroeconomic uncertainty, delayed interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, and a temporary increase in risk aversion related to U.S. trade tensions. In both the United States and Europe, spreads have followed a similar trend, reaching a peak in April but concluding June at a narrower level.

The first half of 2025 witnessed a significant decline of the US Dollar against major currencies as markets repriced the trajectory of U.S. monetary and fiscal policy in the context of delayed Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, a widening U.S. fiscal deficit and international trade-related uncertainty. Despite persistently elevated yields, the US Dollar began to weaken as expectations of a soft landing shifted toward indications of slowing growth and inflation fatigue. The Euro appreciated against the US Dollar rising to USD 1.17 by end of June.
The Euro appreciated against the British Pound Sterling (at GBP 0.86), as the Bank of England maintained its cautious tone. However, it depreciated slightly versus the Swiss Franc (to CHF 0.93). Versus the Japanese Yen, the Euro rose to JPY 170 as the Bank of Japan’s tightening, though gradually priced in, was not enough to fully reverse the effects of the Euro’s appreciation resulting from U.S. economic uncertainty.

The comparable basis restatements were €-0.3 billion (or -0.5 point), related to both scope and foreign exchange. This mainly reflected (i) the impact of the acquisition of Nobis as well as of Laya business being underwritten on AXA Ireland’s balance sheet starting from January 2025, and (ii) the neutralization of the foreign exchange rate movements due to the appreciation of the average Euro exchange rate, mainly against the Mexican Peso, the Turkish Lira and the US Dollar, partly offset by the depreciation against the
Swiss Franc and the Japanese Yen.
GROSS WRITTEN PREMIUMS & OTHER REVENUES
Property & Casualty gross written premiums were up 6% (or €+1,966 million) on a comparable basis to €34,097 million:
• Commercial lines grew by 5% (or €+1,001 million) primarily driven by (i) AXA XL Insurance (+6%) mainly from volume growth mostly driven by Property and Casualty, including the impact of a large multi-year contract with limited risk retention, partly offset by Financial Lines, while strong price effects in Casualty were partly offset by softening in other lines, (ii) Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (+15%) mainly driven by Türkiye mostly from higher average premiums in Property and Motor in a hyperinflationary context, along with favorable volume and price effects most notably in Mexico and Brazil, and (iii) France (+6%) reflecting price increases, notably in Property and Motor, as well as higher volumes;
• Personal lines grew by 7% (or €+754 million) driven by (i) Motor (+7%), in particular in Europe (+5%) driven by strong price effects across geographies except United Kingdom where pricing softened following strong repricing in 2024, in Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (+14%) mainly driven by Türkiye from higher average premiums in a hyperinflationary context along with favorable volume effects in Mexico, France (+8%), from strong price increases combined with strong new business growth from both direct business and proprietary agent networks, and (ii) Non-Motor (+7%) primarily in Europe (+5%) mostly in Germany, and United Kingdom & Ireland from strong price increases, partly offset by lower volumes with a focus on profitability, in France (+10%), stemming from business growth and in Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (+19%), notably in Colombia from higher volumes in Compulsory accident insurance; and
• AXA XL Reinsurance increased by 11% (or €+212 million) driven by higher volumes notably thanks to business ceded via Alternative Capital, combined with price increases in Casualty lines.
Life & Health gross written premiums were up 8% (or €+2,136 million) on a comparable basis to €29,230 million.
Life gross written premiums were up 9% (or €+1,580 million) on a comparable basis to €19,081 million:
• Unit-Linked increased by 9% (or €+380 million), driven by most geographies including (i) France (+6%) from higher sales in Individual savings, (ii) Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (+89%), from good sales momentum of a new product in Japan, and (iii) Europe (+5%) mainly in Germany.
• General Account Savings increased by 9% (or €+451 million) mainly driven by (i) Europe (+22%) reflecting elevated sales of a capital-light product in Italy, and (ii) France (+10%), notably from new business in Group pension, partly offset by (iii) Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (-24%), mainly from Hong Kong and Japan from the lower sales of respectively a term product and a Single Premium Whole Life product; and
• Protection increased by 9% (or €+748 million) mainly driven by (i) Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM (+17%), notably from a commercial campaign in 1H25 on a Protection with G/A product in Hong Kong, and (ii) Europe (+5%), mainly from the sales of a new Protection with Unit-Linked product in Switzerland.
Health gross written premiums were up 6% (or €+556 million) on a comparable basis to €10,149 million:
• Group business increased by 4% (or €+196 million), driven by favorable price effect mainly in France, in Europe notably in United Kingdom & Ireland, and in Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM mainly in Mexico and Hong Kong, partly offset by lower volumes;
• Individual business grew by 7% (or €+360 million), primarily from price increases, driven by Europe notably in Germany, and in Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM mostly in Türkiye and Mexico.
Banking revenues decreased by 15% (or €-9 million) on a comparable basis to €49 million as a result of lower volumes in the context of the French real estate market slowdown.
NEW BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Present Value of Expected Premiums (“PVEP”)
PVEP increased by 1% on a reported basis and 1% on a comparable basis to €25,918 million driven by Life (+6%), from higher volumes in Savings and Protection, partly offset by Health (-13%), mainly from France reflecting lower new business volumes in domestic business.
New Business Value (“NBV”)
NBV decreased by 1% on a reported basis and 2% on a comparable basis to €1,189 million as strong sales in Savings notably in Europe and Japan, Protection mainly in Hong Kong, and Health in Asia were offset by unfavorable actuarial changes implemented in the second half of 2024 in Japan and by a negative mix effect in multinational Employee Benefits contracts.
New Business Value Margin (“NBV margin”)
As a result, NBV margin decreased by 0.1 point on a reported basis and 0.1 point on a comparable basis to 4.6%.

On constant exchange rate basis, the Property & Casualty all year combined ratio improved by -0.1 point to 90.0%.
• Current year combined ratio was lower -0.5 point mainly driven by (i) a more favorable undiscounted current year loss ratio excluding Natural Catastrophe charges (-0.2 point) from the continued improvement in attritional claims in Personal Lines (-1.1 points) in a conducive pricing environment, partly offset by Commercial Lines (+0.2 point) reflecting a deterioration at AXA XL Insurance where margins remain at attractive levels, (ii) lower expenses (-0.1 point) driven by a lower non-commission ratio from efficiency measures, while the commission ratio remained stable, and (iii) lower Natural Catastrophe charges (-0.1 point to 3.5%) driven by the non-repeat of elevated natural catastrophes experienced in Europe in H1 2024, partly offset by claims in France due to hailstorms and AXA XL due to California wildfires in H1 2025;
• Prior year reserve development was at -1.1%, 0.4 points less favorable than the first half of last year.
On a reported basis, Property & Casualty Underlying Earnings amounted to €3,067 million, up €159 million (+5%).
On a constant exchange rate basis, Property & Casualty Underlying Earnings increased by €200 million (+7%), fueled by (i) strong growth in gross written premiums across business lines, combined with an improvement of technical profitability, leading to an increase of the technical result (€+196 million), (ii) higher financial result (€+66 million) driven by the increase in investment income (€+181 million), thanks to higher volumes and reinvestment yields on fixed income assets, more than compensating the increase in the unwind of the discount of claims reserves (€-114 million). This was partly offset by (iii) higher income taxes (€-49 million) due to higher pre-tax Underlying Earnings.

On a reported basis, Life & Health Underlying Earnings amounted to €1,814 million, up €+89 million (+5%).
On a constant exchange rate basis, Life & Health Underlying Earnings increased by €91 million (or +5%) driven by (i) increased short-term business technical margin by €56 million reflecting a 0.4 point improvement of the combined ratio, from pricing, underwriting and claims management actions. (ii) Long-term business technical result increased by €58 million thanks to an increase in the release of Contractual Service Margin by €28 million from improved profitability recognition combined with in-force and new business growth in Japan as well as thanks to an improvement of technical experience as a result of the non-repeat of the recognition of a loss component in Italy last year. (iii) Financial result increased by €38 million reflecting a higher investment income in Asia, Africa & EME-LATAM, combined with a lower unwind. This was partly offset by (iv) higher income taxes of €-51 million mainly from higher pre-tax Underlying Earnings as well as an unfavorable tax one-off in Japan, and a lower contribution from (v) minority interests and affiliates by €-10m.
ASSET MANAGEMENT EARNINGS
On a reported basis, Asset Management Underlying Earnings amounted to €175 million, down €-29 million.
On a constant exchange rate basis, Asset Management Underlying Earnings decreased by €-29 million (-14%)(1).
HOLDINGS EARNINGS
On a reported basis, Holdings Underlying Earnings amounted to €-591 million, stable compared to the previous period.
On a constant exchange rate basis, Holdings Underlying Earnings remained stable.
Net income
On a reported basis, Net Income amounted to €3,922 million, down €99 million (-2%).
On a constant exchange rate basis, Net Income decreased by €63 million (-2%) as:
• the increase in Underlying Earnings, up €263 million (+6%) to €4,465 million;
• lower negative impact of exceptional items, up €118 million to €-30 million, notably from Reso, driven by the earnings of the period as well as the impairment of AXA's receivable on dividends declared by Reso over the period;
• lower integration and restructuring costs, improving by €14 million to €-63 million, mainly consisting of costs relating to (i) operational efficiency programs (€-34 million), including IT productivity and automation, mainly at AXA XL and in the United Kingdom & Ireland, and (ii) integration costs (€-29 million) mostly related to recent acquisitions in Italy and Spain; and
• stable negative impact of goodwill and other related intangibles, at €-48 million, from the amortization of intangibles at AXA XL and in Switzerland;
were more than offset by:
• a negative change in the fair value of assets and derivatives, down €432 million to €-467 million driven by (i) an unfavorable change in the fair value of foreign assets and liabilities (€-358 million) notably following US dollar depreciation against the Euro, as well as (ii) the unfavorable change in the fair value of derivatives (€-126m), mainly equity hedging (€-74 million), and interest rates (€-31 million), mainly in France, while (iii) the change in the fair value of mutual funds remained broadly stable;
• lower net realized capital gains, down €27 million to €66 million, primarily on investment properties notably in France.

Outlook
Management is confident in achieving underlying earnings per share growth in 2025 in line with the 6-8% CAGR plan target(1) range over the 2023-2026E period.
In Property & Casualty, the pricing environment is broadly resilient. The Group aims to sustain strong underwriting margins including from the earn-through of higher pricing and underwriting actions, as well as from efficiency measures. In Life & Health, in the near term, earnings growth should come from the short-term business reflecting pricing and underwriting actions, and claims management initiatives. New business volumes combined with improved persistency are expected to drive higher normalized CSM growth over time. In 2025, results in Holdings are expected to remain stable at 2024 levels.
Management intends to offset the earnings dilution from the sale of AXA IM, which closed(2) on July 1, 2025, with an up to Euro 3.8 billion share buy-back that commenced on July 2, 2025. This earnings dilution will not be fully compensated in 2025 given the time required to complete the anti-dilutive share buy-back.
In this context, and assuming current operating conditions persist, management is confident in the Group’s ability to deliver on the main financial targets of AXA’s “Unlock the Future” plan: (i) underlying earnings per share growth of 6-8% CAGR target range between 2023 and 2026E, (ii) underlying return on equity between 14% and 16% between 2024 and 2026E, and (iii) cumulative organic cash upstream in excess of Euro 21 billion for 2024-2026E. Management also affirms the capital management policy(3) of the Group’s “Unlock the Future” strategic plan, targeting a total payout ratio of 75%(4), comprising a 60% dividend payout ratio and an additional 15% from annual share buy-backs. Under this capital management policy, the proposed dividend per share in a given year is expected to be at least equal to the dividend per share paid in the prior year.
(1) Assuming current operating and market conditions persist and based on a Nat Cat load of ca. 4.5 points, defined as normalized natural catastrophes losses expected in a year expressed in percentage of gross earned premiums for the same year. Natural Catastrophe charges include natural catastrophe losses regardless of event size.
(2) Please refer to the Press Release “AXA completes the sale of AXA Investment Managers to BNP Paribas” published on July 1, 2025, and available on AXA’s website (www.axa.com).
(3) Subject to annual Board and Shareholders’ Annual General Meeting approvals and absent (1) for share buy-backs, any significant earnings event (i.e., significant deviation in the Group’s underlying earnings) and (2) for dividends, the occurrence of a significant capital event (i.e., event that significantly deteriorates Group solvency). Board discretion includes taking into account AXA’s earnings, financial condition, applicable capital and solvency requirements, prevailing operating and financial market conditions and the general economic environment.
(4) Payout ratio is calculated based on underlying earnings per share.

AXA is listed on Euronext Paris Compartiment A.
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2025, including associated Notes, were set by the Board of Directors on July 31, 2025.
1.2GENERAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, on the basis of IFRS and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are endorsed by the European Union before the end of the reporting period with a compulsory date of January 1, 2025.
In this context, the Group uses the option provided by the European Union which allows not to apply the annual cohort requirement under IFRS 17 for determining the groups of insurance contracts meeting some criteria (refer to paragraph 1.14.2 of Note 1 Accounting principles of the Notes to the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2024 Universal Registration Document).
The 2025 half year Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2024 Universal Registration Document.
For existing and unchanged IFRS standards and interpretations, the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The nature and effects of amendments to the IFRS standards first applied in the present Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are summarized in paragraph 1.2.1 below.
1.2.1 IFRS requirements adopted on January 1, 2025
The application, as of January 1, 2025, of the amendments to IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability, issued on August 15, 2023, had no material impact on the Group’s Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
1.2.2 Standards and amendments published but not yet effective
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, published on April 9, 2024, will be effective on January 1, 2027, with earlier application permitted. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.
It aims at improving the quality and cross-industry comparability of financial reporting, notably by introducing defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information and requiring disclosures about management-defined performance measures. It will replace IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements.
The assessment of its impact on the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements is in progress.
Amendments to the Classification and Measurement Requirements for Financial Instruments in IFRS 9 - Financial
Instruments and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures
These amendments, issued on May 30, 2024 and endorsed by the European Union on May 27, 2025, will be effective on January 1, 2026, with earlier application permitted.
They result from the post-implementation review of the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments and related requirements in IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures. These amendments improve the requirements in IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system as well as to assessing contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets with contingent features, including those with environmental, social and governance (ESG)-linked features.
The amendments also modify disclosure requirements relating to investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and add disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs.
The assessment of their impact on the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements is in progress.
Other IFRS requirements not yet effective
The following standards and amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements:
• IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures, published on May 9, 2024, and effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027;
• annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11: narrow amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 7, IFRS 9, IFRS 10 and IAS 7, published on July 18, 2024, and effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026; and
• amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Contracts Referencing Nature‑dependent Electricity, published on December 18, 2024, and effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.
1.2.3 Preparation of financial statements
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions. In preparing the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at the year ended December 31, 2024.

NOTE 4 TRANSACTIONS IN CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
4.1AXA IM DISPOSAL
On August 1, 2024, AXA entered into an exclusive negotiation to sell its asset manager AXA Investment Managers
(“AXA IM”) to BNP Paribas. Under the terms of the agreement, the total expected cash proceeds1 amounted to €5.4 billion, out of which €0.3 billion related to the internal sale of Select2 to AXA IM prior to the deal completion date.
In the context of the expected transaction, AXA and BNP Paribas also agreed with entering into a long‑term strategic partnership under which BNP Paribas would provide investment management services to AXA.
On December 21, 2024, the Share Purchase Agreement was signed. The completion of the transaction was subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals.
Finally, on July 1, 2025, AXA announced that it has completed the sale of AXA IM to BNP Paribas. The finalization of the transaction was considered a subsequent event with no impact on the Consolidated statement of profit or loss as of June 30, 2025. The capital gain is expected to have an impact of €+2.2 billion on the Net Income Group share and will be recognized during the second semester of 2025 as Profit or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax (please refer to Note 11).
The classification of AXA IM as discontinued operations that was adopted as of December 31, 2024, was maintained as of June 30, 2025.
The major classes of assets and liabilities (net of intercompany balances with other AXA entities) classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2025, are presented in the table below:

2 Select (formerly named “Architas”) was, until the sale of AXA IM to BNP Paribas on July 1st, 2025, an AXA company offering investment solutions, including management of funds, investment management services, advisory services and investment related services, to retail customers in France, Belgium, Hong Kong and Indonesia.
As of June 30, 2025, the other comprehensive income on invested assets in the scope of the transaction amounted to €-8 million (€-9 million as of December, 31, 2024) and the accumulated foreign exchange difference amounted to €-36 million (€+32 million as of December, 31, 2024).

In the context of the expected disposal of AXA IM and following its exit from the French tax group on January 2025, the line item income tax included the impact of the cancellation of the accumulated Group tax receivable for €148 million. At Group level, this impact was offset by the cancellation of a Group tax liability by AXA SA for the same amount (please refer to Note 3).
The statement of Cash Flows of the AXA IM business classified as discontinued operations for the periods ended on June 30, 2025 and 2024, is presented in the table below:

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30 | 913 | 880 |
Following the sale of AXA IM on July 1, 2025, AXA will lose control of some funds managed by AXA IM as AXA will no longer have decision‑making power over these funds insofar, AXA IM becoming an external asset manager. The carrying value of investments made by AXA in these funds approximately amounted to €15 billion for non‑real estate funds and €2 billion for real estate funds as of June 30, 2025 (€18 billion and €3 billion, respectively, as of December 31,2024). Following the loss of control, AXA will still exercise a significant influence over these funds. Consequently, as of June 30, 2025, and following the completion of the disposal of AXA IM on July 1st, 2025, these funds will still be reported as Investments in the Consolidated statement of financial position, in respectively “Investments in real estate properties”, “Financial investments” or “Assets backing contracts where the financial risk is borne by policyholders”. As a result of the loss of control, related non‑controlling interests (representing €5 billion as of June 30, 2025, on both asset and liability sides) will be derecognized, knowing that they are currently accounted for as payables for non‑real estate funds (within the line item “Non-controlling interests of controlled investment funds and puttable instruments held by non-controlling interests” of the Consolidated statement of financial position) and in Non-controlling interests for real estate funds.
4.2 NOBIS ACQUISITION
On April 1, 2025, AXA completed the acquisition of Gruppo Nobis (Nobis), following the announcement on August 1, 2024, that AXA had entered into an agreement to acquire Nobis. The completion of the transaction followed the fulfilment of customary closing conditions, including approval by Nobis shareholders and obtention of all necessary regulatory approvals.
Under the terms of the agreement, the upfront consideration for the acquisition amounted to €423 million, fully paid in cash.

• €+1,000 million, from a new issuance of perpetual deeply subordinated notes;
• €-86 million from interest expenses related to the undated subordinated debt (net of tax);
• €-80 million from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
During the first half of 2024, the following transactions pertaining to undated deeply subordinated debt had an impact on AXA’s other reserves:

• €-106 million from interest expenses related to undated subordinated debts (net of tax);
• €+21 million from foreign exchange rate fluctuations;
• €-17 million from premium on repayment.

(a) Including the fair value hedge of equity instruments.
As explained in Paragraph 1.21.2 of Note 1 Accounting principles of the Notes to the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2024 Universal Registration Document and in accordance with IFRS 17, AXA applies the option to disaggregate insurance and reinsurance financial income or expenses between the statement of profit or loss and the OCI to limit the volatility in profit or loss considering that many of supporting financial assets are measured at fair value through OCI under IFRS 9.
When equity instruments without recycling in Profit or Loss are sold, their related net unrealized gains and losses previously recognized in OCI without recycling in Profit or Loss are transferred to retained earnings. In the first half of 2025, the realized capital gains or losses on these equity instruments amounted to €-46 million, net of tax (€+5 million, net of tax in 2024).
CURRENCY TRANSLATION RESERVES
The total impact of currency translation reserve for the first half year 2025 amounted to €-3,448 million, of which €-3,426 million from Group share and €-22 million from non-controlling interests. This was mainly driven AXA XL (€-2,552 million), Hong Kong (€-538 million), Japan (€-165 million) and United Kingdom (€-123 million).
The total impact of currency translation reserve for the first half year of 2024 amounted to €+302 million, of which
€+315 million from Group share and €-13 million from non-controlling interests. This was mainly driven by AXA XL (€+625 million), Hong Kong (€+121 million), United Kingdom (€+73m) partly offset by Switzerland (€-381 million) and Japan (€-254 million). Additionally, the translation reserves included the effect over the reporting period of applying IAS 29 standard related to hyperinflation in Türkiye for €26 million, of which €24 million Group share.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS ACTUARIAL GAINS AND LOSSES
The total impact of employee benefits actuarial loss for the first half year of 2025 amounted to €-259 million (of which €-257 million from Group share and €-2 million from non-controlling interests). This was mainly driven by an effect of asset ceiling in Switzerland: as the pension plan is overfunded, the increase in discount rate as of June 30, 2025, triggered a reduction of the net defined benefit asset of the pension plan that was recognized as a loss through OCI.
The total impact of employee benefits actuarial gains for the first half year of 2024 amounted to €+221 million (of which €+220 million from Group share and €+1 million from non-controlling interests). This was mainly driven by the investment gains of plan assets in Switzerland and an increase in the discount rates used to value liabilities in the Eurozone. The pension plan in Switzerland was overfunded; the asset ceiling test performed as of June 30, 2024, did not entail any limitation of the net defined benefit asset to be recognized.
6.3 CHANGE IN NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
Under IFRS, non-controlling interests in most investment funds in which the Group invests consist of instruments that holders can redeem at will at fair value and qualify as a liability rather than shareholders’ equity item.
The table below gives detailed information on the change in the non-controlling interest during the first half of 2025 and 2024:

• ARC: Asset for remaining coverage
• AIC: Asset for incurred claims
• CSM: Contractual service margin
• OCI: Other comprehensive income
• MRA: Modified retrospective approach
• FVA: Fair value approach
• PVFCF: Present value of future cash flows
• RA: Risk Adjustment for non-financial risk
• BBA: Building block approach
• VFA: Variable fee approach
• PAA: Premium allocation approach
7.1 RECONCILIATIONS WITH THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The tables below enable to reconcile the consolidated statement of financial position and the consolidated statement of profit or loss with information disclosed in the next paragraphs.
These reconciliations consist in excluding the amounts of receivables and payables arising from insurance and reinsurance operations, as well as the assets for insurance acquisition cash flows, from the consolidated statement of financial position on one hand, the amounts of income and expenses related to these receivables and payables from the consolidated statement of profit or loss on the other hand.
7.1.1 Reconciliation with the consolidated statement of financial position
The reconciliation of amounts presented in the consolidated statement of financial position with the “carrying amount of insurance contracts and investment contracts with DPF”, as disclosed in paragraph 7.2, is as follows:

CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – HALF YEAR 2025
7.2 MOVEMENTS IN BALANCES OF INSURANCE CONTRACTS AND INVESTMENT CONTRACTS WITH DPF
Within tables disclosed in paragraphs 7.2.1 and 7.2.2, the groups of contracts for which the MRA and the FVA had been used at transition to IFRS 17 are separately disclosed, except those eligible to the exemption provided by the European Union not to apply the annual cohort requirement that are included in other contracts.
7.2.1 Changes in the carrying amount of insurance contracts and investment contracts with DPF, split between remaining coverage and incurred claims components
The two following tables provide an analysis of movements in the carrying amount of insurance contracts and investment contracts with DPF, split between the LRC and the LIC.
The analysis of movements highlights how this carrying amount is affected by (i) the amounts recognized in the statement of profit or loss and OCI, (ii) the cash flows, (iii) the movements in exchange rates and (iv) the changes in scope of consolidation and other changes.
The amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss reconcile to insurance revenue (see paragraph 7.4.1) as well as to insurance service expenses and net finance income or expenses from insurance contracts issued as disclosed above (see paragraph 7.1.2).

7.2.2 Changes in the carrying amount of insurance contracts and investment contracts with DPF, broken down by measurement component
The two following tables provide an analysis of movements in the carrying amount of insurance contracts and investment contracts with DPF not measured under PAA, broken down by measurement component, namely (i) the estimate of the PVFCF, (ii) the RA, and (iii) the CSM. However, the carrying amount of insurance contracts measured under the PAA is also reported to reconcile with the opening and closing balances of financial statements.
In this respect, the total amount of RA gross of reinsurance (including contracts measured under the PAA) was €3,164 million at end June 2025 and €3,305 million at end December 2024. The percentile was stable at 65th comprised within the 62.5th-67.5th percentile range considered by the Group as the adequate level of prudence on underlying insurance liabilities.

7.3 MOVEMENTS IN BALANCES OF REINSURANCE CONTRACTS HELD
7.3.1 Changes in the carrying amount of reinsurance contracts held, split between remaining coverage and incurred claims components
The two following tables provide an analysis of movements in the carrying amount of reinsurance contracts held split between the ARC and the AIC.
The analysis of movements highlights how this carrying amount is affected by (i) the amounts recognized in the statement of profit or loss and OCI, (ii) the cash flows, (iii) the movements in exchange rates, and (iv) the changes in scope of consolidation and other changes.
The amounts recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss reconcile to net expenses from reinsurance contracts held and net finance income or expenses from reinsurance contracts held as disclosed above (see paragraph 7.1.2).

NOTE 9 FINANCIAL RESULT, EXCLUDING FINANCING DEBT EXPENSES
The financial result, excluding financing debt expenses, reflects the return on invested assets generated by all activities less the net finance income or expenses stemming from insurance and reinsurance contracts. The table below highlights how this financial result impacts both the profit or loss and the other comprehensive income (OCI) before tax.
The investment return through profit or loss reported below reconciles with the amount disclosed in the Consolidated statement of profit or loss. On the other hand, the reconciliation of net finance income or expenses from insurance and reinsurance contracts disclosed below with the amounts disclosed in the Consolidated statement of profit or loss is explained in Note 7.1.2.

NOTE 10 NET INCOME PER ORDINARY SHARE
The Group calculates a basic net income per ordinary share and a diluted net income per ordinary share:
• the calculation of the basic net income per ordinary share assumes no dilution and is based on the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares during the period;
• the calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share takes into account shares that may be issued as a result of stock option and share based compensation plans. The effect of stock option and share based compensation plans on the number of fully diluted shares is taken into account only if options and share based compensations are considered to be exercisable on the basis of the average stock price of the AXA share over the period.

AXA also closed the sale of Select to AXA IM for a consideration of €0.3 billion, bringing the total transaction value to the previously announced amount of €5.4 billion (2)(3).
AXA and BNP Paribas have also entered into a long-term partnership under which BNP Paribas will provide investment management services to AXA.
The completion of the transaction followed the fulfilment of customary closing conditions, including approval by AXA IM shareholders and obtention of all necessary regulatory approvals.

On July 1, 2025, AXA executed a share repurchase agreement with an investment services provider, whereby AXA will carry out a program to buy back its own shares for a maximum amount of €3.8 billion to offset the earnings dilution from the sale of AXA IM to BNP Paribas, as announced on August 1, 2024.
The share repurchase agreement will be executed in accordance with the terms of the applicable Shareholders’ Meeting authorization.
Under the share repurchase agreement, shares buyback commenced on July 2, 2025, and will end at the latest on February 26, 2026. On each day during the purchase period, the price per share to be paid by AXA(5) will be determined on the basis of the volume-weighted average share price.
AXA will progressively cancel all shares repurchased thereunder.
(1) For 100% share capital of AXA IM, of which 97.89% was owned by the AXA Group (refer to Note 2).
(2)Completed in two tranches: €0.1bn in March 2024 and €0.2bn in March 2025.

Half Year 2025 Financial Report
AXA announced the acquisition of Prima, the leading direct insurance player in Italy
On August 1, 2025, AXA announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire Prima. Since its launch in 2015, Prima, which operates as a Managing General Agent (“MGA”), has emerged as the leading direct insurance player in Italy, achieving a top position with Euro 1.2 billion of premiums, ca. 10%(1) overall market share in Retail Motor and a combined ratio of 90%(2) in 2024.
The acquisition of Prima is expected to strengthen AXA’s position in Italy by almost doubling the size of its Motor business. Furthermore, the acquisition of Prima would bolster AXA's position in the direct distribution channel which generated Euro 3.5 billion in premiums for the Group in 2024, across eight geographies, with leading positions in four.
Under the terms of the agreement, AXA will acquire 51% of the company(3) for a consideration of Euro 0.5 billion. Call/put options(4) with an exercise price tied to Prima’s earnings have been granted respectively to AXA and minority stakeholders for the remaining 49%. Taking into account the capital required to back the planned recapture of premiums and underwriting margin currently earned by third party insurance carriers, the total consideration represents an expected price-to-earnings multiple of ca. 11x.
Including the re-capture of the business currently written by third party insurance carriers, the transaction is expected to result in an impact of -6 points(5) on AXA Group’s Solvency II ratio.
Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals, and is expected to take place by the end of 2025.
(1)Estimate based on 2024 policy count.
(2) Estimated 2024 all-year discounted combined ratio, combining Prima and third-party insurance carriers' margins.
(3) AXA will own 51% of the MGA but expects to recapture 100% of the premiums currently written in Italy and Spain by third party insurers.
(4)To be exercised in 2029 or 2030.
(5)The -6 points impact consists of (i) a -4 points impact upon closing, related to the €0.5 billion cost for a 51% share, plus net present value of the cost of acquiring the 49% minority stake in Prima in 2029 or 2030 through the put/call option agreements, in accordance with Solvency II requirements, and (ii) an estimated -2 points impact from the planned progressive re-capture of the premiums underwritten by third-party insurers, starting in the second half of 2026.

Statutory Auditors’ Review Report on the half-year Financial Information
(Period from January 1st to June 30th, 2025)
To the Shareholders, AXA SA
25, avenue Matignon
75008 Paris
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Shareholders’ Meetings and in accordance with the requirements of Article L. 451-1-2-III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:
▪ the review of the accompanying condensed half-year consolidated financial statements of AXA SA, for the period from January 1st to June 30th, 2025;
▪ the verification of the information presented in the half-year management report.
These condensed half-year consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
1. Conclusion on the financial statements
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
2. Specific verification
We have also verified the information presented in the half-year management report on the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements subject of our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements. It is not our responsibility to conclude on the fair presentation and consistency with the half-year financial statements of the solvency related information.
