Underlying Earnings

Underlying earnings increased by 2% to Euro 6.5 billion, reflecting continued positive operational performances from France (+9%), International (+17%), Asia (+3%) and Europe (+1%), mainly driven by improved technical profitability in P&C and volume growth in Health. The increased contribution from AXA XL was offset by the lower contribution from Equitable Holdings, Inc. Holding costs were higher mainly due to temporary higher financial charges.

Solvency II ratio

Solvency II ratio was up 5 points versus December 31, 2018 to 198%, mainly driven by the positive impacts of a strong operating return net of accrued dividend (+11 points) and the secondary offerings of Equitable Holdings, Inc. (+10 points), partly offset by unfavorable market conditions (-14 points) mostly from lower interest rates, as well as the negative impact of the repayments of subordinated debts (-4 points).
