Definitions AXA's results have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and interpretations applicable and endorsed by the European Commission at June 30, 2013 and are subject to completion of a limited review by AXA s independent auditors. Adjusted earnings, underlying earnings and NBV are non-gaap measures and as such are not audited, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies and should be read together with our GAAP measures. Management uses these non-gaap measures as key indicators of performance in assessing AXA s various businesses and believes that the presentation of these measures provides useful and important information to shareholders and investors as measures of AXA s financial performance. For a reconciliation of underlying and adjusted earnings to net income see page 8 of the appendix presentation. Life & Savings New Business Value (NBV) is the value of the new business sold during the reporting period. The new business value includes both the initial cost (or strain) to sell new business and the future earnings and return of capital to the shareholder. A43 AXA Earnings August 2, 2013
