• Dividend of Euro 1.26 per share, up 9% from FY16, to
be proposed by the Board of Directors

“AXA delivered another year of
strong operating performance, with a 7% increase in underlying earnings per
share and our highest ever reported net income”, said Thomas Buberl, Chief
Executive Officer of AXA.
“AXA’s underlying earnings and
net income both crossed the Euro 6 billion mark for the first time in the
company’s history, with all major geographies contributing to this achievement.
Our new business value was up 8%. Health was our fastest growing business in
2017, with revenues and earnings growing at 6% and 11% respectively.”
“In the context of the
continued successful delivery of our Ambition 2020 plan and our balance sheet
strength, the Board of Directors is proposing a dividend of Euro 1.26 per
share, an increase of 9% from last year, which corresponds to a payout ratio of
49%.”
“In line with our vision to
empower people to live a better life, we enhanced our Payer to Partner
capabilities with the acquisition of Maestro Health. We continue to lead our
industry in the fight against climate change, notably by quadrupling our 2020
green investments commitment.”
“I would like to thank our
customers for their trust, and our teams and distributors for their commitment
to our vision, as we strive together towards sustained long-term growth and
continued value for all of our stakeholders.”
