Chairman's statement

"Our top line trends for the first nine months are in line with the ones
observed in the first half of 2009, with a modest revenue drop and continued
positive insurance net inflows," said Henri de Castries, Chairman of AXA's
Management Board.

"Life and Savings revenues recovered modestly in the third quarter, notably
with a solid performance in France. Our unit-linked business remained below
normal trends, as clients evaluate the impact of the market environment on
their investment plans and investment decisions. Current US sales have been
impacted by lower consumer confidence following the market and economic
turmoil combined with our recent product redesigns. However, we continue to
believe in the strong potential of variable annuities and other unit-linked
savings products to meet our clients' needs.

In Property & Casualty, sales growth remained slightly positive and we expect
prices to generally increase over the coming months.

Assets under management have increased in the third quarter mainly as a result
of higher equity markets. AllianceBernstein improved its investment
performance and experienced lower levels of outflows from their institutional
clients compared to those seen earlier in the year."

"The outlook in global financial markets has improved over the last six
months, which provides a more favorable environment for our business."

    (a) Change on a comparable basis was calculated at constant FX and scope.

    (b) Mainly due to the appreciation of the USD and JPY against the Euro
        partly offset by the depreciation of the GBP.

    Numbers herein have not been audited. APE and NBV are both in line with
    the Group's EEV disclosure. They are non-GAAP measures, which Management
    uses as key indicators of performance in assessing AXA's Life & Savings
    business and believes to provide useful and important information to
    shareholders and investors.

    All comments are on a comparable basis (constant Forex, scope and
    methodology)

    - Total Revenues were resilient, down 5% to Euro 68,094 million (down 6%
      in 1H09).

    - Life & Savings revenues were down 6% to Euro 42,706 million (down 7% in
      1H09). France, Italy and Germany experienced positive growth, whereas
      the US and the UK faced unfavorable market conditions, notably in their
      unit-linked business.

      Net inflows were positive at Euro +7.0 billion (Euro +5.6 billion in
      1H09) with strong positive contributions across the board driven by
      increased client retention.

      New Business Volume (APE3) was down 15% to Euro 4,508 million, mainly
      driven by a slowdown in Investment & Savings products through non
      proprietary channels. Unit-linked share was down from 50% to 38%:
      variable annuity "Accumulator" sales dropped in the US as a result of
      both declining markets and AXA's redesign actions.

      New business margin was down 0.5 pt to 14.4% (up vs. 13.7% in 1H09),
      mostly as a result of (i) higher unit costs due to lower volumes and
      (ii) unfavorable market conditions, partly offset by (iii) a better
      business mix mainly driven by the US (progressive development of new
      redesigned Accumulator products), the UK (more Protection business) and
      Japan.

    - Property & Casualty revenues increased by 1% to Euro 20,524 million,
      driven by higher volumes in Personal lines, partly offset by negative
      momentum in Commercial lines as a result of the unfavorable economic
      environment. Net new personal contracts amounted to +919,000 (+695,000
      in 1H09).

    - Asset Management revenues were down 31% to Euro 2,253 million (down 34%
      in 1H09), mostly due to lower average assets under management and
      unfavourable change in product mix (lower equity component). Net
      outflows amounted to Euro -51 billion (Euro -38 billion in 1H09),
      mainly due to AllianceBernstein's institutional clients. Assets under
      management reached Euro 840 billion, significantly above June 30, 2009
      levels (Euro 803 billion), benefiting from positive market appreciation



LIFE & SAVINGS /

Life & Savings 

    --  Life & Savings revenues were down 6% to Euro 42,706 million (down 7%
in
        1H09). France, Italy and Germany experienced positive growth, whereas
        the US and the UK faced unfavorable market conditions, notably in
their
        unit-linked business.

    --  Net inflows remained positive at Euro +7.0 billion (Euro +5.6 billion
in
        1H09) with strong positive contributions across the board driven by
        increased client retention, both in General Account (Euro +3.6
billion)
        and unit-linked (Euro +3.4 billion) businesses. The Euro 0.8 billion
        decrease versus 9M08 was due to lower inflows (Euro -4.5 billion) and
an
        adverse forex and scope impact (Euro -0.9 billion), partly compensated
        by higher client retention (Euro +4.6 billion).

    (a) UK Net Inflows, excluding with-profit funds, stood at
        Euro +0.4 billion at 9M09




    --  New Business Volume (APE3) was down 15% to Euro 4,508 million, due to:




        (i) Adverse financial environment:
            - Decline in individual investments & savings sales mainly in the
              US, the UK and Australia, notably due to financial market
              turmoil impacting unit-linked and Mutual Funds
            - Decrease in Group life sales in Switzerland as a result of
              limited client turnover in the market
        (ii) Negative impact from one-off events, mainly in Japan (bankruptcy
             of a major independent agent)
        (iii) Partly offset by a solid performance in France, with successful
              developments in Group business, Italy (Joint-Venture with BMPS)
              and Germany.

    Unit-linked share was down from 50% to 38%: variable annuity "Accumulator"
    sales dropped in the US as a result of both declining market and AXA's
    redesign actions.

New business margin was down 0.5 pt to 14.4% (up vs. 13.7% in 1H09), mostly as
a result of (i) higher unit costs due to lower volumes and (ii) unfavorable
market conditions, partly offset by (iii) a better business mix mainly driven
by the US (progressive development of new redesigned Accumulator products),
the UK (more Protection business) and Japan.

Note: Actuarial and financial assumptions are not updated on a quarterly
basis, except for interest rates which are hedged at point of sale for
variable annuity products

Detail by country:

The United States

New businessAPE decreased 41% to Euro 770 million, primarily driven by (i)
lower variable annuity sales (-43%), mainly in third-party channels (brokers,
banks, independent advisors), due to a decline in overall industry sales as a
result of uncertain market conditions and redesigned Accumulator products with
reduced benefits, (ii) lower mutual fund sales through proprietary channels
(-38%), and (iii) lower Life sales (-38%), mainly in third-party channels,
following a Universal Life product redesign in 1Q09.

NBV margin was down 2.4 points to 2.5%, primarily as a result of higher unit
costs (due to lower volumes), and lower interest rates negatively impacting
the variable annuity profitability, partly offset by an improved business mix
following the introduction of newly redesigned Accumulator products. A
next-generation variable annuity with a variable roll-up rate is expected to
be launched by the end of the year, continuing AXA's commitment to client
needs and innovation in the variable annuity marketplace.

Evolution versus 1H09 NBV margin (2.8%): Despite the improvement in business
mix (+4.2 pts) and in market conditions (+0.5 pt), the NBV margin was slightly
down as a result of deteriorating unit costs (-4.9 pts) due to lower volumes.

France 

New business APE was up 14% to Euro 1,120 million, driven by (i) Group
business (+27%), boosted by both Retirement and Protection sales, and by (ii)
Individual lines (+9%), supported by non unit-linked Savings products notably
benefiting from the low short-term interest rate environment, partly offset by
a drop in unit-linked Savings.

NBV margin was down 0.1 point to 5.6%, as a result of lower share of
individual unit-linked products compensated by lower unit costs due to higher
volumes.

The United Kingdom

New business APE was down 20% to Euro 711 million, mainly as a result of a
sharp decline in offshore and onshore bond sales due to lower consumer
confidence, partly offset by increasing sales in Protection.

NBV margin was up 0.6 point to 10.0% due to a favorable product mix, partly
offset by higher unit costs.

Northern Central & Eastern Europe



    - Germany new business APE was up 1% to Euro 342 million mainly as a
      result of higher non unit-linked short term investment products and a
      one-off increase in Health following a change in regulation, partly
      offset by non recurring 2008 Riester incentive measures and lower
      regular premium annuities.

      NBV margin was down 4.6 points to 14.1% primarily due to negative
      investment market conditions (lower interest rates impacting "TwinStar"
      variable annuity profitability).

    - Switzerland new business APE was down 15% to Euro 208 million mainly
      due to limited new business opportunities in Group Life (-22%) as a
      result of low client turnover in the market due to adverse financial
      environment, partly offset by higher individual variable annuity sales
      ("TwinStar Income").

      NBV margin was down 2.7 points to 26.3% due to a slight deterioration in
      business mix.

    - Belgium new business APE was down 10% to Euro 174 million mostly due to
      a decrease in individual investment & savings sales (-11%) for both
      unit-linked and non unit-linked products.

      NBV margin was up 1.2 points to 12.5% driven by a better business mix
      partly offset by higher unit costs due to lower volumes.

    - Central & Eastern Europe new business APE was up 1% to Euro 118
      million. Excluding the one-off impact of lower sales of Tax wrapper
      products (voluntary decision), APE was up 21%, mainly driven by Hungary
      (new distribution agreements and products).

      NBV margin was up 3.4 points to 20.9% driven by better business mix
      (lower share of Tax wrapper products).



Asia Pacific


    - Japan new business APE decreased by 20% to Euro 380 million, mainly
      driven by the bankruptcy of a large independent agent (LINA). Excluding
      this one-off event, APE decreased by 11% as a result of lower sales of
      Term products, partly offset by resilient medical and variable annuity
      sales.

      NBV margin was down 4.8 points to 52.8% mainly driven by higher unit
      costs and difficult investment market conditions (lower interest rate
      impacting the "Yen variable annuity" business) partly offset by a more
      favorable business mix following the end of LINA's low margin product
      sales.

    - Australia/New Zealand new business APE was down 36% to Euro 198
      million, mainly due to a drop in mutual fund sales as a result of
      unfavorable market conditions, partly offset by increased variable
      annuity sales ("North" product) and growth in traditional life sales.

      NBV margin was up 2.5 points to 10.6% partly due to improved business
      mix (lower share of low margin mutual fund sales).

    - Hong Kong new business APE was down 8% to Euro 89 million, mainly due
      to a decrease in unit-linked sales given adverse market conditions,
      partially offset by higher traditional life sales.

      NBV margin was down 2.9 points to 63.6% as a result of higher unit costs
      due to lower volumes.

    - South East Asia & China new business APE was up 13% to Euro 66 million
      mainly driven by higher sales in Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.

      NBV margin was up 1.8 points to 32.8% due to improved business mix.



Mediterranean and Latin America Region (MedLA)


    - New business APE increased by 3% to Euro 332 million, driven by higher
      sales in non unit-linked Investment & Savings products at AXA MPS
      Italian Joint-Venture in particular over the last quarter, partly offset
      by lower sales in unit-linked products across the board and in Group
      lines in Spain.
    - NBV margin was up 1.3 points to 13.8%, as a result of improved business
      mix.



PROPERTY & CASUALTY /

Property & Casualty


    - Property & Casualty revenues increased by 1% to Euro 20,524 million,
      driven by higher volumes in Personal lines, partly offset by negative
      momentum in Commercial lines as a result of the unfavourable economic
      environment. Net new personal contracts amounted to +919,000 (+695,000
      in 1H09):

    - Personal Motor revenues (35% of total P&C revenues) were up 1.8% mainly
      driven by the UK (success of Swiftcover direct business platform),
      Canada (tariff increase), Asia (tariff increase and new business), and
      France (agents and direct business), partly offset by Spain (due to the
      drop in car sales and strong competition) and Germany (in a context of
      competitive pressure and lower volumes).

      Motor Net new contracts amounted to +815,000.

    - Personal Non-Motor revenues (25% of total P&C revenues) increased by
      0.7% with overall positive price effect across the board, partially
      offset by a decrease in the UK.

      Household Net new contracts amounted to +104,000.

    - Commercial Motor revenues (7% of total P&C revenues) were down 1.9%
      with negative contributions mainly in the UK (with tariff increase
      impacting retention) and Spain, and positive ones mainly in Asia and
      Germany.

    - Commercial Non-Motor revenues (31% of total P&C revenues) were down
      0.4%, with negative contribution mainly driven by Spain (notably
      liability and construction), partially offset by Switzerland (Health),
      Mexico (Property) and Turkey (Property through SME business).



ASSET MANAGEMENT & INTERNATIONAL INSURANCE /

Asset Management

    --  Asset Management revenues were down 31% to Euro 2,253 million (down
34%
        in 1H09), mostly due to lower average assets under management and
        unfavorable change in product mix (lower equity component).
    --  Assets Under Management were up Euro 24 billion versus Dec 31, 2008 to
        Euro 840 billion at September 30, 2009, mainly as a result of :
        --  Net inflows: Euro -51 billion (vs. Euro -38 billion in 1H09),
mainly
            due to AllianceBernstein Institutional client segment, following
            2008 investment underperformance. Year-to-date investment
            performance showed improvement on Value and Fixed Income, and
            remained mixed in Growth. AllianceBernstein launched a new
            commercial Real Estate business and was one of five asset managers
            to successfully raise assets for the US Government PPIP8 program.
        --  Market impact: Euro +89 billion mainly at AllianceBernstein due to
            market recovery.

        --  Forex impact: Euro -16 billion mainly as a result of the
            depreciation of the USD versus the Euro.
