PARIS (AFX) - French insurer AXA SA said it expects underlying earnings under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to be broadly unchanged compared to under French GAAP, while adjusted earnings and net income should be higher.
It said its dividend capacity will be unchanged and estimates a negative impact on the group's 2004 opening shareholders' equity of around 5 pct.
IFRS is a technical accounting change to the way AXA will report and present consolidated earnings statements.
