“FY07 activity indicators reflected strong organic performance and positive contribution from Winterthur”, said Henri de Castries, Chairman of the AXA Management Board.
“In Life & Savings, Accumulator-type products represented 14% of 2007 new business volume with strong growth continuing in 4Q07 (+51% year-on-year). This new generation of products is particularly well positioned in the context of a more challenging market and their global roll-out should allow AXA to continue to perform well.”
“The Property & Casualty revenues demonstrated good resilience in a competitive pricing environment, especially in retail lines, with a strong contribution of direct business and emerging markets.”
“Our Asset Management business recorded high double digit revenue growth despite a slowdown in net inflows in the second half of the year.”

(c) South East Asia & China APE was not modeled in 2006.
The following comments are on a comparable basis.
The United States new business APE increased by 19% to Euro 2,099 million due to strong growth in sales of Variable Annuities (up 20%) as well as in Life products. Variable Annuities growth was primarily driven by the continued expansion in the third party distribution networks, especially independent financial advisory firms. The addition of certain new product features also contributed to the increase in sales. The Universal life product range was enhanced with the launch of an updated product in 2007 (Athena).
France new business APE increased by 3% to Euro 1,360 million driven by both Individual lines and Group business despite a contracting insurance market. In Individual lines, the Accumulator-type product “Capital Ressources” launched in March 2007 recorded Euro 23 million APE. Group business growth was largely driven by Life & Health while Group retirement remained stable following a strong 2006 performance. Unit linked share of total APE was stable at 25%.
Japan new business APE decreased by 18% to Euro 567 million as certain Term products no longer benefit from a favorable tax environment. The lower Term product sales were partly offset by strong performance from medical and cancer product sales as part of the company’s strategy to focus on these more profitable products (Euro +76 million) and the sales of US Dollar and Yen denominated variable annuity products (Euro +52 million) resulting in AXA increasing its bancassurance market share and becoming one of the top ten players. Unit linked share of total APE increased to 21%.
________________________
4AXA's principal Variable Annuities products.
United Kingdom new business APE was up 6% to Euro 1,588 million. Wealth management was up 7% due to (i) individual pension business (up 14%) reflecting the strength of the combined AXA/Winterthur Individual pension offering as well as (ii) strong performance in the Offshore Estate Planning Bond (up 68%), partly offset by (iii) a drop in Offshore Bonds cash sales (-36%) resulting from a change in the tax environment for these products in 1Q07 and affecting negatively AXA UK’s APE growth momentum in 2H07.
Protection business was up 27% driven by new distribution contracts and improved propositions to IFAs as well as effective direct marketing campaigns.
Group pension was up 2%.
Germany new business APE was stable at Euro 457 million principally due to (i) a strong growth in Investment & Savings (+12%), with notably the “TwinStar” Accumulator-type product (Euro 84 million), (ii) the non recurrence of 2006 large cases in Life Group business and (iii) the negative impact of traditional Riester products (notably in Winterthur’s portfolio) which had benefited in 2006 from strong inflows as a result of a fiscal incentive. Unit linked share of total APE was 38%.
Switzerland new business APE increased by 2% to Euro 222 million with (i) Individual Life & Savings up 16% reflecting the continuous increase in sales of new Unit Linked products (+148%) which were launched in October 2006 (WinLife Variant) and May 2007 (AXA Comfort), partly offset by (ii) Group life down 3%. Unit linked share of total APE increased to 8%.
Belgium new business APE was up 8% to Euro 340 million due to (i) Individual life (+5% to Euro 307 million) driven by both non unit linked (largely Crest 40) and unit linked products (Twinstar launched in September 2007), and (ii) Group business (+60% to Euro 33 million including Euro 6 million from a 2007 large contract). Unit linked share of total APE was 14%.
Mediterranean Region new business APE decreased by 5% to Euro 206 million as a result of a drop in Group business (down 28%) due to the non recurrence of a 2006 outsourcing of pension fund contract in Spain. This was partly offset by the increase in Individual business (+ 2%) notably driven by the contribution of the Accumulator product (Euro 13 million)5. Unit linked share of total APE was 18%.
Central & Eastern Europe new business APE was up 59% to Euro 107 million, mainly driven by Life and Savings business (+128% to Euro 48 million), benefiting from strong unit linked sales (+128% to Euro 44 million) and gains in market share in the Pension Fund business (+27% to Euro 59 million). Main countries contributing to the growth were Czech Republic (+82% to Euro 37 million) and Poland (+56% to Euro 49 million).
Australia/New-Zealand new business APE was up 25% to Euro 545 million mainly driven by continued strong inflows into Global Equity Value fund and ipac wholesale products, in addition to strong personal superannuation flows into Summit & Generations platforms.
Hong Kong new business APE was up 12% to Euro 139 million, reflecting strong growth in individual unit linked regular premiums and group retirement sales and encouraging results from the new Citibank bancassurance agreement (signed in July 2007).
South East Asia & China new business APE was up 75% to Euro 63 million. Philippines was up +126% to Euro 8 million due to strong unit linked sales notably in the bancassurance channel, Indonesia was up +112% to Euro 21 million as clients moved to unit linked products due to reduced local bank deposit rates, Thailand was up +70% to Euro 14 million due to successful agent recruitment and improvements in bancassurance, Singapore was up 25% to Euro 14 million and China was up 93% to Euro 5 million.

The following comments are on a comparable basis.
Personal lines (60% of P&C premiums) were up 5%.
Motor revenues grew by 5% mainly driven by (i) the Mediterranean Region up 8%, following new product launches in 2006 and 2007 (mainly “Protezione al volante” in Italy and “Dynamic 2” in Spain) and new segmented tariffs notably in Turkey, (ii) the UK & Ireland up 21%, largely as a result of the new business written through its Internet company, Swiftcover, which benefited from increased volumes through aggregator websites, (iii) Asia up 15% which confirmed its strong momentum, and partly offset by (iv) Germany (+1%), France (+0%) and Switzerland (-1%), recording positive net new contracts in a context of softening markets.
Non-motor revenues increased by 5% mainly driven by (i) the UK & Ireland (+9%) as a result of strong performance in both Health and Travel businesses, (ii) Mediterranean Region (+6%) with positive contribution of all business lines and (iii) France and Germany, both up 2%.
Commercial lines (38% of P&C premiums) were up 2%.
Motor revenues were up 2%, with strong growth (i) in Germany (+5%) due to a higher number of vehicles in the existing fleets, (ii) in France (+2%) following increase in tariffs and (iii) in the UK (+5%), partly offset by (iv) Mediterranean Region (-4%) due to a lower contribution from former Winterthur fleet rental business further to a strategic decision, and Belgium (-2%).
Non-motor revenues were up 2%, with France (+7%) mainly driven by Construction and the UK (+3%) largely driven by Health, partly offset by Belgium (-4%) due to the non-renewal of some less profitable contracts.

ASSET MANAGEMENT
Asset Management revenues increased by 10% to Euro 4,863 million, or 17% on a comparable basis, driven by higher average Assets Under Management and business mix improvement. Both AllianceBernstein and AXA IM revenues grew at a strong double digit pace.
AllianceBernstein revenues increased by 15% on a comparable basis to Euro 3,130 million, largely due to higher base fees (+25%, with +28% in institutional clients, +20% in retail clients and +24% in private clients) driven by higher average assets under management (+21%) partly offset by lower performance fees (-66%), especially on hedge funds. Other revenues (mainly distribution fees, institutional research and other fees) were up 10%.
AXA Investment Managers revenues increased by 21% on a comparable basis to Euro 1,732 million, mainly due to higher average assets under management. The favorable client and product mix evolution was offset by a slight decrease in performance fees.
Assets Under Management were Euro 1,092 billion as of December 31, 2007 as a result of positive net inflows (Euro +28 billion), market appreciation (Euro +45 billion), scope impact (Euro +68 billion, mainly transfers from Winterthur), partly offset by a negative exchange rate impact (Euro -77 billion).
AllianceBernstein net inflows of Euro 23 billion were strong across all client categories (Euro 13 billion from institutional, Euro 4 billion from retail and Euro 6 billion from private clients). 4Q07 net inflows rebounded compared to 3Q07 on the back of strong institutional net inflows of Euro 6 billion.
AXA Investment Managers net inflows of Euro 5 billion were driven by Institutional clients (Euro 5 billion) and AXA Main Fund (Euro 1 billion) partly offset by retail segment (Euro -2 billion). AXA Investment Managers recorded third party net outflows of Euro 8 billion in certain lower margin funds (Money Market funds) in 2H07.
