AIG Reports Strong First Quarter 2024 Results

American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

AIG Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Peter Zaffino said: "AIG began 2024 with very strong momentum in delivering on our strategic and operational progress while achieving exceptional financial results, reflecting the foundational capabilities we have cultivated over the last several years. In addition to outstanding profitability, this quarter was highlighted by the significant capital management actions we completed, placing AIG in a position of strength ahead of Corebridge Financial's deconsolidation from AIG.

"General Insurance had another quarter of impressive Commercial Lines profitability benefiting from continued strong underwriting performance and low levels of catastrophe losses as we continue to manage volatility in our results. The combined ratio of 89.8% improved 2.1 points year-over-year, or 3.8 points on a comparable basis^?. The accident year combined ratio, as adjusted, of 88.4% improved 0.3 points year-over-year, or 1.6 points on a comparable basis^?. In Global Commercial Lines, the combined ratio of 85.8% improved 3.4 points year-over-year, and the accident year combined ratio, as adjusted, was 84.4%.

"As a result of the 2023 divested businesses and changes in reinsurance structures, General Insurance net premiums written decreased 35% year-over-year, but increased on a comparable basis^?. Growth rates in the quarter were impacted by changes in reinsurance structures which should provide benefits in the remainder of the year. Global Commercial Lines pricing, which includes rate and exposure, increased 6% excluding Workers' Compensation and was ahead of loss cost trend. Excluding Workers' Compensation, North America Commercial Lines pricing increased 7% while International pricing increased 5%, both slightly ahead of loss cost trend. Overall market conditions remain favorable and we continue to execute our strategy of successfully deploying capital organically in markets where we see the most attractive risk-adjusted returns. In this environment, disciplined underwriting is increasingly critical and the strength and depth of the underwriting talent we have built at AIG will enable us to continue to drive profitable growth.

"Life & Retirement's solid financial results benefited from higher base portfolio spread income and strong sales with total premiums and deposits* of $10.7 billion for the first quarter of 2024 and were among the highest results in the past decade. In April, Corebridge Financial (Corebridge) closed the sale of AIG Life to Aviva plc for £453 million ($569 million), solidifying their U.S. focus. On April 30, the Corebridge Board of Directors also authorized an additional $2 billion of share repurchases following active share repurchases year to date.

"While reducing our ownership stake in Corebridge remains a top priority in 2024, we continue to diligently execute on our capital management strategy. In the first quarter, we executed nearly $3 billion of capital management actions, including returning $2.4 billion to AIG shareholders through $1.7 billion of common stock repurchases, $250 million of common and preferred dividends and redeeming $500 million of preferred stock as well as retiring $459 million in maturing debt. The AIG Board of Directors approved an increase to the share repurchase authorization up to $10.0 billion effective May 1 as well as an 11% increase in our quarterly common stock dividend to $0.40 per share, representing a greater than 10% increase in the quarterly dividend for the second consecutive year.

"Throughout 2024, we expect to continue to build on our momentum as we execute AIG Next, deconsolidate Corebridge and deliver underwriting excellence and profitable growth, further enhancing value to AIG shareholders and positioning AIG for the future. I am very pleased with the progress we have made with AIG Next, which will create a less complex and more effective company with the appropriate infrastructure and improved capabilities. AIG Next will deliver savings and efficiencies that further position us to accelerate profitability and achieve an adjusted ROCE in excess of 10%.

"Against the backdrop of an uncertain and increasingly complex global risk landscape, AIG continues to serve our clients, partners and stakeholders with the unwavering commitment and distinct expertise that distinguishes us in the industry thanks to the dedication and teamwork of our colleagues around the world."

^? Premiums on a comparable basis reflects year-over-year comparison on a constant dollar basis adjusted for the sale of Crop Risk Services and the sale of Validus Re in 2023 and 2024. APTI, underwriting income and ratios on a comparable basis reflects year-over-year comparison adjusted for the sale of Crop Risk Services and the sale of Validus Re in 2023 and 2024. Refer to pages 19 to 20 for more detail.

For the first quarter of 2024, net income attributable to AIG common shareholders was $1.2 billion, or $1.74 per diluted common share, compared to $23 million, or $0.03 per diluted common share, in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by net realized gains on Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivative, compared to net realized losses in the prior year quarter.

AATI was $1.2 billion, or $1.77 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2024, flat compared to $1.2 billion, or $1.63 per diluted common share, in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher underwriting income and net investment income in General Insurance and improved results in AIG Other Operations excluding Corebridge, mostly offset by a 20% decrease in Corebridge's earnings included in AATI due to the reduction in AIG ownership over the last year.

Total net investment income for the first quarter of 2024 was $3.9 billion, an increase of 11% from $3.5 billion in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher income from fixed maturity securities and loans due to higher reinvestment rates, partially offset by lower alternative investment returns and lower income on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets. Total net investment income on an APTI basis* was $3.5 billion, an increase of 13% from the prior year quarter, reflecting higher reinvestment rates, partially offset by lower alternative investment returns. In General Insurance, net investment income was up 2% from the prior year quarter, overcoming the headwind associated with the sale of Validus which produced $31 million in net investment income in the prior year quarter. Excluding Validus results from the first quarter of 2023, net investment income was up about 7% with a 9% increase in fixed maturities and loans from higher reinvestment rates over the prior year quarter.

Book value per common share was $64.66 as of March 31, 2024, a decrease of 1% from December 31, 2023 and an increase of 10% from March 31, 2023. The decrease from December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) due to higher interest rates and the increase from March 31, 2023 was driven by a decrease in AOCL due to lower interest rates and credit spreads as well as the net impact of share repurchases. Adjusted book value per common share* was $77.79, an increase of 1% from December 31, 2023 and an increase of 3% from March 31, 2023, both reflecting the aggregate impact of net income, offset by dividends and share repurchases.

In the first quarter of 2024, AIG returned $2.4 billion to AIG shareholders through $1.7 billion of common stock repurchases of approximately 23 million shares, $250 million of common and preferred dividends and the redemption of $500 million of preferred stock. AIG also repaid $459 million aggregate principal amount of maturing debt. AIG parent liquidity was $5.1 billion as of March 31, 2024. Total debt and preferred stock to total capital at March 31, 2024 was 28.1%, down from 28.5% at December 31, 2023, primarily driven by debt repayment and the preferred stock redemption. Total debt and preferred stock to total capital, excluding AOCL adjusted for cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets*, was 23.6% at March 31, 2024, down from 24.3% at December 31, 2023.

On April 30, 2024, the AIG Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on AIG common stock of $0.40 per share. The dividend is payable on June 28, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 14, 2024.

On March 15, 2024, AIG redeemed all 20,000 outstanding shares of AIG Series A 5.85% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock) originally issued on March 14, 2019 and all 20,000,000 of the corresponding depositary shares. The redemption price of Series A Preferred Stock was $25,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share) for an aggregate redemption price of $500 million, paid in cash.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

GENERAL INSURANCE

General Insurance

• General Insurance APTI of $1.4 billion increased $110 million from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher underwriting and net investment income.
• First quarter 2024 NPW of $4.5 billion declined 35% from the prior year quarter on a reported basis, but increased on a comparable basis^?, with 1% growth in Commercial Lines and Personal Insurance relatively flat. North America Commercial Lines NPW declined 69% from the prior year quarter, but grew 4% on a comparable basis^?, reflecting continued rate increases, higher renewal retentions and strong new business production in Lexington, Casualty and Captive Solutions, partially offset by Financial Lines reflecting continued underwriting discipline and change in reinsurance structure. International Commercial Lines NPW declined 3% from the prior year quarter, or 1% on a comparable basis^?, attributable to a decrease in Global Specialty and Financial Lines, partially offset by an increase in Property, Talbot and Casualty, due to continued rate increases, higher renewal retention, strong new business production as well as reflecting changes in reinsurance. North America Personal Insurance NPW declined 4% from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by High Net Worth, resulting from change in reinsurance. International Personal Insurance NPW also declined 4% from the prior year quarter, but increased 1% on a comparable basis^?, largely driven by an increase in Personal Auto and Individual Travel, partially offset by Accident & Health.
• First quarter 2024 underwriting income increased $94 million from the prior year quarter to $596 million and included $106 million of total catastrophe-related charges, representing 1.9 loss ratio points, compared to $264 million, representing 4.2 loss ratio points, in the prior year quarter. First quarter 2024 also included favorable prior year development (PYD), net of reinsurance, of $34 million, consisting entirely of the adverse development cover (ADC) amortization, compared to favorable PYD, net of reinsurance, of $68 million in the prior year quarter. Consistent with our reserve review schedule, we did not conduct detailed valuation reviews (DVRs) in the first quarter, resulting in no favorable or adverse PYD from DVRs in the first quarter of 2024. The amortization of ADC totaled $34 million in the first quarter 2024, down from $41 million in the first quarter 2023 due to the annual update in amortization schedule.
• The combined ratio improved 2.1 points from the prior year quarter to 89.8%, largely driven by a 1.9 point decrease in the loss ratio to 58.0%. The AYCR improved 0.3 points from the prior year quarter to 88.4%, primarily driven by a 0.2 point decrease in expense ratio to 31.8%, attributable to an improvement in acquisition ratio, partially offset by an increase in general operating expense (GOE) ratio. On a comparable basis^?, the combined ratio improved 3.8 points and the AYCR improved 1.6 points from the prior year quarter.
• The North America Commercial Lines combined ratio increased 1.0 point from the prior year quarter to 88.1% and the AYCR increased 0.2 points to 85.9%. The increase was driven by a higher loss ratio reflecting changes in business mix, resulting from the 2023 divestitures, and lower favorable PYD, net of reinsurance, partially offset by an improvement in expense ratio reflecting lower acquisition ratio. On a comparable basis^?, the combined ratio improved 0.8 points and the AYCR improved 1.8 points from the prior year quarter.
• International Commercial Lines combined ratio improved 8.3 points from the prior year quarter to 83.6% and the AYCR improved 0.7 points to 83.0%. The improvement was mostly driven by a decrease in loss ratio, reflecting lower catastrophe losses and favorable development in PYD, net of reinsurance, compared to unfavorable development in the prior year quarter, as well as a 0.4 point improvement in expense ratio to 29.5%. On a comparable basis^?, the combined ratio improved 9.3 points and the AYCR improved 1.4 points from the prior year quarter.
• The North America Personal Insurance combined ratio improved 5.6 points from the prior year quarter to 102.3% and the AYCR improved 9.9 points to 97.7%. The improvement was driven by lower accident year loss ratio, as adjusted* (AYLR) and GOE ratios reflecting changes in business mix, which were partially offset by a higher catastrophe loss ratio and an unfavorable development in PYD, net of reinsurance.
• The International Personal Insurance combined ratio increased 0.3 points from the prior year quarter to 96.7% and the AYCR increased 0.9 points to 96.8%. The increase was driven by higher expense ratio as a result of the impact of lower earned premiums, partially offset by an improvement in AYLR and lower catastrophe loss ratio.
• General Insurance net investment income on an APTI basis was $762 million, an increase of 2% from the prior year quarter driven by higher reinvestment rates from fixed maturity securities and loans, partially offset by lower alternative investment returns, particularly private equity, and a reduction in assets due to the 2023 divested businesses. Excluding Validus results from the first quarter of 2023, net investment income was up about 7% from the prior year quarter.

LIFE AND RETIREMENT

Life and Retirement

• L&R results are presented before the impact of Other Operations and non-controlling interests on AIG's AATI. L&R's contribution to AATI declined by approximately $100 million from the prior year quarter.
• L&R APTI increased $105 million from the prior year quarter to $991 million. The increase was primarily due to higher base portfolio spread income, fee income and expense efficiencies, partially offset by non-recurring reinsurance adjustments in the Life insurance business.
• Premiums increased 7% from the prior year quarter to $2.4 billion and premiums and deposits* increased 2% to $10.7 billion. Fixed Annuities sales for the quarter were up 16% from the prior year quarter and Institutional Markets sales were up 20%, driven by a higher volume of transactional business, including $1.8 billion of pension risk transfer transactions, partially offset by lower sales of Variable and Fixed Index Annuities.
• Net investment income on an APTI basis was $2.6 billion, an increase of 16% from the prior year quarter, driven by higher income from fixed maturity securities and loans, partially offset by lower alternative investment income.

OTHER OPERATIONS

Other Operations

• Corporate and Other adjusted pre-tax loss (APTL), excluding Corebridge, improved $76 million from the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher income on parent short-term investments, lower GOE driven by expense savings, and lower AIG interest expenses driven by debt reduction over the last year.
• Corebridge Other Operations APTL improved $26 million from the prior year quarter. This was driven by a decrease in alternative investment income, more than offset by an increase in consolidation and eliminations associated with consolidated investment entities.

COMMENT ON REGULATION G AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Throughout this press release, including the financial highlights, AIG presents its financial condition and results of operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful and representative of its business results. Some of the measurements AIG uses are "Non-GAAP financial measures" under SEC rules and regulations. GAAP is the acronym for generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The non-GAAP financial measures AIG presents are listed below and may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies. The reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP measures in accordance with Regulation G are included within the relevant tables attached to this news release or in the First Quarter 2024 Financial Supplement available in the Investors section of AIG's website, www.aig.com.

Unless otherwise mentioned or unless the context indicates otherwise, we use the terms "AIG," "we," "us" and "our" to refer to American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

AIG uses the following operating performance measures because AIG believes they enhance the understanding of the underlying profitability of continuing operations and trends of AIG's business segments. AIG believes they also allow for more meaningful comparisons with AIG's insurance competitors. When AIG uses these measures, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided on a consolidated basis.

Book value per common share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and deferred tax assets (DTA) (Adjusted book value per common share) is used to show the amount of our net worth on a per-common share basis after eliminating items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value (1) of AIG's available for sale securities portfolio, (2) of market risk benefits attributable to our own credit risk and (3) due to discount rates used to measure traditional and limited payment long-duration insurance contracts, foreign currency translation adjustments and U.S. tax attribute deferred tax assets. This measure also eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio wherein there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities. In addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets held by AIG in support of Fortitude Re's reinsurance obligations to AIG post deconsolidation of Fortitude Re (Fortitude Re funds withheld assets) since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re. We exclude deferred tax assets representing U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits as they have not yet been utilized. Amounts for interim periods are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. As net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits are utilized, the portion of the DTA utilized is included in these book value per common share metrics. Adjusted book value per common share is derived by dividing total AIG common shareholders' equity, excluding AOCI adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets, and DTA (Adjusted common shareholders' equity), by total common shares outstanding.

Total debt and preferred stock to total capital ratio excluding AOCI adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets is used to show the AIG's debt leverage adjusted for AOCI and for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it eliminates items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value (1) of AIG's available for sale securities portfolio, (2) of market risk benefits attributable to our own credit risk and (3) due to discount rates used to measure traditional and limited payment long-duration insurance contracts and foreign currency translation adjustments. This measure also eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio wherein there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities. In addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re.

AIG Return on Common Equity (ROCE) ? Adjusted After-tax Income Excluding AOCI adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and DTA (Adjusted return on common equity) is used to show the rate of return on common shareholders' equity. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it eliminates items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value (1) of AIG's available for sale securities portfolio, (2) of market risk benefits attributable to our own credit risk and (3) due to discount rates used to measure traditional and limited payment long-duration insurance contracts, foreign currency translation adjustments and U.S. tax attribute deferred tax assets. This measure also eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio wherein there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities. In addition, we adjust for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re. We exclude deferred tax assets representing U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits as they have not yet been utilized. Amounts for interim periods are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. As net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits are utilized, the portion of the DTA utilized is included in Adjusted Return on Common Equity. Adjusted Return on Common Equity is derived by dividing actual or annualized adjusted after-tax income attributable to AIG common shareholders by average Adjusted Common Shareholders' Equity.

General Insurance and Life and Retirement Adjusted Segment Common Equity is based on segment equity adjusted for the attribution of debt and preferred stock (Segment Common Equity) and is consistent with AIG's Adjusted Common Shareholders' Equity definition.

General Insurance and Life and Retirement Return on Adjusted Segment Common Equity ? Adjusted After-tax Income (Return on adjusted segment common equity) is used to show the rate of return on Adjusted Segment Common Equity. Return on Adjusted Segment Common Equity is derived by dividing actual or annualized Adjusted After-tax Income by Average Adjusted Segment Common Equity.

Adjusted After-tax Income Attributable to General Insurance and Life and Retirement is derived by subtracting attributed interest expense, income tax expense and attributed dividends on preferred stock from APTI. Attributed debt and the related interest expense and dividends on preferred stock are calculated based on our internal allocation model. Tax expense or benefit is calculated based on an internal attribution methodology that considers among other things the taxing jurisdiction in which the segments conduct business, as well as the deductibility of expenses in those jurisdictions.

Adjusted revenues exclude Net realized gains (losses), income from non-operating litigation settlements (included in Other income for GAAP purposes), changes in fair value of securities used to hedge guaranteed living benefits (included in Net investment income for GAAP purposes) and income from elimination of the International reporting lag. Adjusted revenues is a GAAP measure for our segments.

Adjusted Pre-tax Income (APTI) is derived by excluding the items set forth below from income from continuing operations before income tax. This definition is consistent across our segments. These items generally fall into one or more of the following broad categories: legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; adjustments to enhance transparency to the underlying economics of transactions; and measures that we believe to be common to the industry. APTI is a GAAP measure for our segments. Excluded items include the following:

• changes in fair value of securities used to hedge guaranteed living benefits;
• net change in market risk benefits (MRBs);
• changes in benefit reserves related to net realized gains and losses;
• changes in the fair value of equity securities;
• net investment income on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets;
• following deconsolidation of Fortitude Re, net realized gains and losses on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets;
• loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt;
• all net realized gains and losses except earned income (periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals) on derivative instruments used for non-qualifying (economic) hedging or for asset replication. Earned income on such economic hedges is reclassified from net realized gains and losses to specific APTI line items based on the economic risk being hedged (e.g. net investment income and interest credited to policyholder account balances);
• income or loss from discontinued operations;
• net loss reserve discount benefit (charge);
• pension expense related to lump sum payments to former employees;
• net gain or loss on divestitures and other;
• non-operating litigation reserves and settlements;
• restructuring and other costs related to initiatives designed to reduce operating expenses, improve efficiency and simplify our organization;
• the portion of favorable or unfavorable prior year reserve development for which we have ceded the risk under retroactive reinsurance agreements and related changes in amortization of the deferred gain;
• integration and transaction costs associated with acquiring or divesting businesses;
• losses from the impairment of goodwill;
• non-recurring costs associated with the implementation of non-ordinary course legal or regulatory changes or changes to accounting principles; and
• income from elimination of the international reporting lag.

Adjusted After-tax Income attributable to AIG common shareholders (AATI) is derived by excluding the tax effected APTI adjustments described above, dividends on preferred stock and preferred stock redemption premiums, noncontrolling interest on net realized gains (losses), other non-operating expenses and the following tax items from net income attributable to AIG:

• deferred income tax valuation allowance releases and charges;
• changes in uncertain tax positions and other tax items related to legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance; and
• net tax charge related to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

See page 16 for the reconciliation of Net income attributable to AIG to Adjusted After-tax Income Attributable to AIG.

Ratios: We, along with most property and casualty insurance companies, use the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the combined ratio as measures of underwriting performance. These ratios are relative measurements that describe, for every $100 of net premiums earned, the amount of losses and loss adjustment expenses (which for General Insurance excludes net loss reserve discount), and the amount of other underwriting expenses that would be incurred. A combined ratio of less than 100 indicates underwriting income and a combined ratio of over 100 indicates an underwriting loss. Our ratios are calculated using the relevant segment information calculated under GAAP, and thus may not be comparable to similar ratios calculated for regulatory reporting purposes. The underwriting environment varies across countries and products, as does the degree of litigation activity, all of which affect such ratios. In addition, investment returns, local taxes, cost of capital, regulation, product type and competition can have an effect on pricing and consequently on profitability as reflected in underwriting income and associated ratios.

Accident year loss and Accident year combined ratios, as adjusted (Accident year loss ratio, ex-CAT and Accident year combined ratio, ex-CAT): both the accident year loss and accident year combined ratios, as adjusted, exclude catastrophe losses (CATs) and related reinstatement premiums, prior year development, net of premium adjustments, and the impact of reserve discounting. Natural catastrophe losses are generally weather or seismic events, in each case, having a net impact on AIG in excess of $10 million and man-made catastrophe losses, such as terrorism and civil disorders that exceed the $10 million threshold. We believe that as adjusted ratios are meaningful measures of our underwriting results on an ongoing basis as they exclude catastrophes and the impact of reserve discounting which are outside of management's control. We also exclude prior year development to provide transparency related to current accident year results.

Underwriting ratios are computed as follows:

1. Loss ratio = Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred ÷ Net premiums earned (NPE)
