Total Revenues down 0.9%(1) to Euro 69,458 million.
PARIS, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Chairman's statement
-- During the first three quarters of 2008, AXA Group proved to be resilient in an adverse financial market environment, posting a modest 0.9%(1) decrease in total revenues, in line with the trends observed during the first half of the year, said Henri de Castries, Chairman of AXA's Management Board
-- Life & Savings net inflows were once again positive during the third quarter of 2008, totaling Euro +7.8 billion year to date, as a result of solid premium flows and increased client retention.
-- Property & Casualty growth accelerated in the third quarter of 2008, benefiting from the positive contributions of both personal lines (with net new personal contracts reaching circa 1 million year to date) and commercial lines, since the beginning of the year.
-- As expected, Asset Management business was impacted by the financial turmoil, with Euro 10 billion net outflows.
-- We reiterate our confidence in the AXA Group's ability to withstand the current financial crisis thanks to its strong underlying profitability and cash flows, its diversification across business lines and geographies, its financial strength and the confidence of its customers, distributors and employees. We expect to come out of the current turmoil stronger and better positioned.

(a) Change on a comparable basis was calculated at constant FX and scope.
(b) Mainly due to continued appreciation of the Euro against USD, JPY, GBP and CHF.
(c) 9M07 and 9M08 NBVs were computed using profitability factors by product from end of 2007, unless, notably hedged at current conditions during the first three quarters of 2008. Unit costs were updated to reflect actual 2008 experience (primarily the impact of reduction in volume in most entities).
Life & Savings net inflows were once again positive during 3Q08
Life & Savings New Business Volume (APE(4)) was down 7% on a comparable basis, to Euro 5,163 million mainly due to:
-- strong performance in most NORCEE(5) countries (Switzerland up 21%, Central and Eastern Europe up 48% and Germany up 4%) as well as positive development of individual business in France (up 2% in a declining market);
-- as expected, (i) a slowdown in the US as a result of lower Universal Life sales (product re-pricing) and lower Variable Annuity sales in a challenging environment, (ii) negative impact from fiscal changes in the UK and in Japan, as well as (iii) non-recurrence of the favorable contribution from Australian superannuation in 2007.
New business margin was down 3.1 points on a comparable basis to 19.5%, as a result of lower unit-linked sales in France, lower interest rates in the United States and higher unit costs across the board, notably due to lower volumes.
Net inflows amounted to Euro +7.8 billion with strong positive contributions across the board driven by increased client retention.
P&C growth acceleration during 3Q08
Property & Casualty revenues increased by 3% on a comparable basis to Euro 20,031 million, as growth in France (up 3%), the Mediterranean Region (up 5%) and Asia (up 14%) was partly offset by a flat contribution from Germany and a decrease in Switzerland (down 1%).
Personal lines were up 3% with Personal Motor and Household net new contracts reaching 860,000 and 124,000 contracts, respectively, while Commercial lines were up 2%.
Asset Management (AllianceBernstein and AXA IM) revenues decreased by 7% on a comparable basis to Euro 3,059 million, as a result of lower management fees (-4%) in line with lower average assets under management, and lower distribution fees.
Solid financial strength
Group Solvency position remained very solid despite tough financial market conditions, notably benefiting from the equity hedging program implemented and dynamically managed over the period. At end of October 2008, Solvency I ratio estimate stood at circa 135%(3), including -7 pts related to transactions closed after June 30, 2008 (Mexico and Turkey).
Thanks to the financial flexibility of the Group, all insurance subsidiaries remain strongly capitalized.
Life & Savings
Life & Savings New Business Volume (APE(4)) was down 7% on a comparable basis to Euro 5,163 million mainly due to:
-- strong performance in most NORCEE(5) countries (Switzerland up 21%, Central and Eastern Europe up 48% and Germany up 4%) as well as positive development in individual business in France (up 2% in a declining market);
-- as expected, (i) a slowdown in the US as a result of lower Universal Life sales (product re-pricing) and lower Variable Annuity sales in a challenging environment, (ii) negative impact from fiscal changes in the UK and in Japan, as well as (iii) non-recurrence of the favorable contribution from Australian superannuation in 2007.
New business margin was down 3.1 points on a comparable basis to 19.5%, as a result of lower unit-linked sales in France, lower interest rates in the United States and higher unit costs across the board, notably due to lower volumes.
Net inflows amounted to Euro +7.8 billion with strong positive contributions across the board driven by increased client retention.

The United States
New business APE decreased 16% to Euro 1,170 million, mainly driven by the anticipated decline in Universal Life sales (down 41%) following the repricing of the Universal Life product. Variable Annuity sales were down 10% in a context of a challenging market. This drop was mainly driven by lower sales from Broker/Dealer and Financial institutions while Financial Planners sales remained resilient.
NBV was down 24% to Euro 200 million, primarily as a result of lower sales volume and the negative impact of lower interest rates on Variable Annuity profitability, partly offset by the improvement in margin on Universal Life products due to product re-pricing. NBV margin was down 1.8 points to 17.1%.
France
New business APE was down 2% to Euro 982 million, outperforming the market, with resilient growth in individual lines (+2%) notably in Health which was more than offset by a decrease in Group business (-10%) due to the non-recurrence of two large Group retirement contracts signed in 1Q07.
NBV decreased by 32% to Euro 116 million as a result of a lower share of unit-linked sales (down from 26% to 15%). NBV margin was down 5.2 points to 11.8%.
The United Kingdom
New business APE was down 5% to Euro 1,007 million, as a result of lower sales in specific Wealth Management segments (life insurance bonds, individual and executive pensions) as a result of fiscal changes for bonds (Capital Gains Tax) and the non-recurrence of the positive 2007 A day impact in the Pension business, partially offset by positive evolutions in Group Pension and Protection.
NBV decreased by 29% to Euro 70 million as a result of lower volumes and higher unit costs. NBV margin was down 2.4 points to 7.0%.
Northern Central & Eastern Europe
-- Germany new business APE was up 4% to Euro 335 million as a result of strong TwinStar Riester sales, partly offset by a decrease in the Health business due to the 2007 Reform (waiting period for new salaried employees to enter Private Health Insurance extended from one to three years).
NBV was down 8% to Euro 105 million. NBV margin was down 4.0 points to 31.4%, slightly down compared to 1H08, as a result of the lower contribution from Variable Annuity sales.
-- Switzerland new business APE was up 21% to Euro 230 million mainly due to the successful annual renewal campaign in Group Life business (up 23%) as well as positive developments in individual business (up 14%) showing good progress, notably in unit-linked product sales.
NBV was up 51% to Euro 63 million as a result of higher volumes and improved business mix, mainly in Group Life. NBV margin was up 5.5 points to 27.4%.
-- Belgium new business APE was down 24% to Euro 193 million due to a decrease in Individual Life sales (-28%) for both unit-linked and non unit-linked products, partly offset by higher sales in Group Life (+11%).
NBV was down 69% to Euro 33 million, notably as a result of lower volumes and higher unit costs. NBV margin was down 24.4 points to 17.3%.
-- Central & Eastern Europe new business APE was up 48% to Euro 122 million, mainly driven by Poland.
NBV was up 21% to Euro 19 million, driven by higher volumes, partly offset by unfavorable business mix due to increased weight of lower margin short-term savings products. NBV margin was down 3.5 points to 15.5%.
Asia Pacific
-- Japan new business APE decreased by 8% to Euro 389 million, due to lower sales of certain Term products, as a result of the tax deductibility review of specific products.
NBV decreased by 14% to Euro 256 million, mainly driven by lower volumes and higher unit costs. NBV margin was down 4.8 points to 65.9%.
-- Australia/New Zealand new business APE was down 23% to Euro 305 million, mainly due to a drop in mutual fund and AllianceBernstein joint-venture sales, as a result of current negative market conditions as well as the non-recurrence of 2007 positive impact of superannuation business.
NBV was down 22% to Euro 31 million due to lower volumes. NBV margin was stable at 10.0%.
-- Hong Kong new business APE was down 6% to Euro 87 million, mainly due to a decrease in unit-linked sales (unit-linked share decreased from 59% to 48%) and restructuring of tied agent distribution, partially offset by higher Traditional Life sales.
NBV was down 2% to Euro 51 million, as the lower volumes were partially offset by an improvement in the business mix as a result of increased sales in the higher margin Traditional products. NBV margin improved 2.5 points to 59.0%.
-- South East Asia & China new business APE was up 23% to Euro 52 million. Indonesia and Thailand experienced particularly strong growth, driven by increases in productivity of the bancassurance channels and continued expansion in agent numbers and productivity.
NBV was up 20% to Euro 15 million, driven by volumes. NBV margin was down 0.8 point to 29.6%.
Mediterranean Region
-- New business APE increased by 7% to Euro 292 million, as a result of higher sales in both Individual and Group businesses. The increase in Individual business was driven by higher traditional product sales in Spain, partially offset by lower sales from the Italian joint-venture AXA MPS, switching production from less profitable traditional products to innovative unit-linked products in the context of a declining bancassurance market, while the increase in Group business stemmed from new corporate contracts in Spain.
-- NBV increased sharply by 15% to Euro 46 million, as a result of higher volumes and a strong improvement in business mix in Individual business (from AXA MPS joint-venture), with unit-linked share up from 15% to 33%. NBV margin was up 1.1 points to 15.8%.

Asset Management
Lower revenues, in line with lower average AUM, and lower distribution fees

Financial Strength
Solid financial strength
Group Solvency position remained very solid despite tough financial market conditions, notably benefiting from:
-- the equity hedging program implemented and dynamically managed during the first three quarters of 2008;
-- the well diversified fixed-income portfolio, with limited impacts from credit events beyond those resulting from previously disclosed exposures (notably Lehman and Washington Mutual).
At end of October 2008, Solvency I ratio estimate stood at circa 135%(3), including -7 pts related to transactions closed after June 30, 2008 (Mexico and Turkey).
Thanks to the financial flexibility of the Group, all insurance subsidiaries remain strongly capitalized.
Selected information on US Life and Savings operations in 3Q08
Underlying earnings(6) from Life and Savings operations in the United States remained positive during the third quarter 2008, despite the following impacts:
-- Variable Annuity hedging costs
Combined with prudent product design, the Variable Annuity hedging program mitigates equity market and interest rate movement impacts on underlying earnings. The hedge program utilizes interest rate and equity index futures as well as interest rate swaps and options to mitigate market risk. During the third quarter of 2008, margins were notably impacted by high volatility and equity market turbulence, as shown below:
GMXB hedging costs
In Euro million, net of tax & DAC 1H08 3Q08
discrete
Equity market volatility -10 -15
Interest rate movements -12 -8
All other, including basis risk -42 -100
-- DAC adjustments
3Q08 after tax DAC impact, attributable to lower future margins from lower separate account assets, was approximately Euro -32 million, in-line with the following sensitivities provided in 1H08 earnings presentation:
-10%: ~ Euro 0.0 billion
-20%: < Euro 0.1 billion
-30%: < Euro 0.2 billion
In addition, in the third quarter of 2008, US Life and Savings General Account net capital losses amounted to circa Euro 95 million after tax and DAC, primarily due to losses on impairments and sales of distressed bonds, mainly Lehman and Washington Mutual.
