American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

AIG Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Peter Zaffino said: “In the third quarter, AIG delivered exceptional results driven by continued improvement in underwriting profitability and an outstanding quarter in our Commercial Lines business with an 81.7% accident year combined ratio, as adjusted. This quarter’s adjusted after-tax income per diluted share of $1.61 increased 92% from the prior year quarter. Our relentless focus on our strategic priorities has enabled us to accelerate our execution and generate significant sustainable value for shareholders and other stakeholders.

“On November 1, we announced the successful closing of the sale of Validus Re to RenaissanceRe for which we received total consideration of $3.3 billion in cash, including a pre-closing dividend, and approximately $275 million in RenaissanceRe stock. This sale significantly contributes to our efforts to streamline our business model, simplify our portfolio and further reduce volatility.

“Our continued attention to underwriting excellence and portfolio optimization has manifested in outstanding results for General Insurance. The General Insurance combined ratio improved to 90.5%. The combined ratio included $462 million of total catastrophe-related charges, or 6.9 loss ratio points. Accident year combined ratio, as adjusted, of 86.3% represents an improvement of 210 basis points from the prior year quarter. Additionally, the third quarter results reflect favorable prior year reserve development, net of reinsurance and prior year premiums, of $210 million, or a 2.7 loss ratio point benefit.

“Our continued growth across the portfolio was impressive in the third quarter. General Insurance net premiums written increased 1% year-over-year, or 9% on a comparable basis^†, driven by 16% growth in Personal Insurance and 6% growth in Commercial Lines. North America Commercial pricing, which includes rate and exposure, increased 9% excluding Workers’ Compensation, while International Commercial pricing increased 6% year-over-year. Global Commercial pricing increased 8% excluding Workers’ Compensation and remains above loss cost trend.

“Life & Retirement also delivered solid third-quarter results, which were attributable to continued spread expansion and strong Fixed Index Annuities sales which exceeded $2 billion for the third consecutive quarter. Base net investment income continued to see benefits from the higher interest rate environment and Individual and Group Retirement produced a 41 basis point base spread expansion year-over-year.

“Corebridge continues to make significant progress in simplifying its portfolio. In September, Corebridge announced the sale of AIG Life Limited to Aviva plc for a consideration of £460 million. On October 31, Corebridge closed the sale of Laya Healthcare to AXA for €650 million, the net proceeds from which will be distributed by a special dividend of approximately $730 million to Corebridge shareholders of record. These transactions will enable Corebridge to concentrate on U.S. Life & Retirement solutions where it has proven market strength and distribution capabilities.”

For the third quarter of 2023, net income attributable to AIG common shareholders was $2.0 billion, or $2.81 per diluted common share, compared to $2.7 billion, or $3.55 per diluted common share, in the prior year quarter. The decline was primarily driven by a decrease in net realized gains, both including and excluding Fortitude Re funds withheld assets and embedded derivative, partially offset by higher General Insurance underwriting income and total net investment income. The decrease in net income was also attributable to lower ownership in Corebridge following the Corebridge secondary offering in June.

AATI was $1.2 billion, or $1.61 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $0.6 billion, or $0.84 per diluted common share, in the prior year quarter. The increase in AATI was due to higher underwriting income in General Insurance, higher net investment income and better results in Other Operations, partially offset by an increase in adjusted income tax expenses as well as an increase in non-controlling interest expense due to the Corebridge secondary offering. The third quarter adjusted effective tax rate was 26.3% compared to 20.5% in the prior year quarter, driven by higher foreign income, which is taxed at rates higher than the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21%, and tax adjustments related to prior year tax returns.

Total net investment income for the third quarter of 2023 was $3.6 billion, an increase of 33% from $2.7 billion in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by higher income from fixed maturity securities and loans due to higher reinvestment rates and improved alternative investment income compared to losses from both the hedge fund and private equity portfolios in the prior year quarter. Total net investment income on an APTI basis* was $3.3 billion, an increase of $747 million from the prior year quarter, reflecting the same trends.

Book value per common share was $56.06 as of September 30, 2023, a decrease of 4% from June 30, 2023, driven by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) due to higher interest rates, and an increase of 2% from December 31, 2022, driven by the net impact of share repurchases. Adjusted book value per common share* was $78.17, an increase of approximately 3% compared to both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, primarily driven by share repurchases. Adjusted tangible book value per common share* was $72.62, an increase of 4% from June 30, 2023 and an increase of 5% from December 31, 2022, both primarily driven by the net impact of share repurchases.

In the third quarter of 2023, AIG repurchased $785 million of common stock, or approximately 14 million shares, paid $261 million of common and preferred dividends and redeemed Validus debt for $289 million, inclusive of the loss on extinguishment of debt. AIG also received gross proceeds of $234 million from the sale of CRS. AIG parent liquidity was $3.6 billion as of September 30, 2023. Total debt and preferred stock to total capital ratio at September 30, 2023 was 33.7%, up from 32.3% at June 30, 2023, primarily driven by an increase in AOCL. Excluding AOCL adjusted for cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets, the total debt and preferred stock to total capital ratio* was 25.9% at September 30, 2023, relatively flat compared to June 30, 2023.

On November 1, 2023, the AIG Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on AIG common stock of $0.36 per share. The dividend is payable on December 28, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 14, 2023.

The AIG Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $365.625 per share on AIG Series A 5.85% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share, which is represented by depositary shares (NYSE: AIG PRA), each representing a 1/1,000th interest in a share of preferred stock. Holders of depositary shares will receive $0.365625 per depositary share. The dividend is payable on December 15, 2023 to holders of record at the close of business on November 30, 2023.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

GENERAL INSURANCE

General Insurance

• On July 3, 2023, AIG closed the sale of CRS for a pre-tax gain of $126 million. On November 1, 2023, AIG closed the sale of Validus Re. As a result of the sale of CRS, its premiums and underwriting results were not included in General Insurance third quarter 2023 results.
• Third quarter 2023 NPW of $6.5 billion increased 1% from the prior year quarter, or 9% on a comparable basis^†, driven by 16% growth in Personal Insurance and 6% growth in Commercial Lines. North America Commercial Lines NPW declined 8% as reported, or grew 5% from the prior year quarter on a comparable basis^†, attributable to positive rate changes, higher renewal retentions and strong new business production in Lexington and Retail Property, partially offset by lower Financial Lines premiums reflecting our continued underwriting discipline. International Commercial Lines delivered 2% NPW growth from the prior year quarter, or 7% on a comparable basis^†, attributable to continued positive rate changes, strong retention, and robust new business production, partially offset by a decrease in Financial Lines. Global Personal Insurance NPW increased 14% from the prior year quarter, or 16% on a comparable basis^†, primarily driven by Private Client Select resulting from changes in our reinsurance program, as well as growth in Travel and Personal Property.
• Third quarter 2023 underwriting income increased $443 million from the prior year quarter to $611 million, and included $462 million of total catastrophe-related charges, representing 6.9 loss ratio points, of which $367 million was in North America, mainly attributable to the Lahaina Wildfire and Hurricane Idalia, and $95 million in International. Third quarter 2023 catastrophe-related charges of $462 million were down 29% compared to third quarter 2022 catastrophe-related charges of $655 million, which included losses from Hurricane Ian. Third quarter 2023 also included favorable PYD of $139 million compared to favorable PYD of $72 million in the prior year quarter. The development in the third quarter 2023 was largely driven by favorable development on U.S. Workers’ Compensation business, partially offset by unfavorable development on UK/Europe Casualty and UK Financial Lines.
• The combined ratio improved 6.8 points from the prior year quarter to 90.5%, driven by a 7.9 point decrease in the loss ratio to 59.6%. The AYCR improved 2.1 points from the prior year quarter to 86.3%, driven by a 3.2 point decrease in the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted* (AYLR) to 55.4%, reflecting continued earn-in of premium rate increases in excess of loss cost trends and continued benefit from the business mix shift, coupled with our execution on portfolio management strategies focusing on risk selection and improved terms and conditions. The expense ratio was 30.9%, a 1.1 point increase from the prior year quarter, largely from the business mix shift impact on the acquisition ratio.
• The North America Commercial Lines combined ratio improved 24.7 points from the prior year quarter to 88.9%, driven by favorable PYD compared to unfavorable PYD in the prior year quarter as well as lower catastrophe losses. The AYCR improved 1.6 points to 83.0%, driven by a 4.7 point improvement in the AYLR to 57.8%. International Commercial Lines combined ratio increased 8.0 points from the prior year quarter to 83.4%, driven by unfavorable PYD. The AYCR improved 0.7 point to 79.7% due to a decrease in the acquisition ratio, mainly attributable to changes in the business mix.
• The North America Personal Insurance combined ratio improved 3.4 points from the prior year quarter to 113.0% and the AYCR improved 4.4 points to 108.4%, primarily driven by the expense ratio improving 8.4 points to 46.0%. The International Personal Insurance combined ratio increased 7.4 points from the prior year quarter to 97.2%, driven by a decrease in favorable PYD. The AYCR improved 4.0 points to 95.9%, driven by a 5.6 point improvement in the AYLR to 54.5%, as the prior year quarter had elevated losses related to COVID-19 within Accident & Health.
• Annualized return on adjusted segment common equity* for the third quarter and year-to-date were 12.4% and 12.0%, respectively, compared to 6.7% and 10.3% in the prior year.

LIFE AND RETIREMENT

Life and Retirement

• Life and Retirement reported APTI of $971 million for the third quarter of 2023, up 24% from $784 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher base portfolio spread income as a result of improved base portfolio yields and higher alternative investment income. Combined base net investment spreads in Individual and Group Retirement continued to widen with a 41 basis point improvement year-over-year.
• Premiums declined 42% from the prior year quarter to $0.8 billion due to lower pension risk transfer volumes. Premiums and deposits* increased 4% to $9.2 billion. Fixed Index Annuities continued to be the top driver of strong sales and Institutional Markets also had strong sales, supported by $1.9 billion of new guaranteed investment contracts, partially offset by lower volume of Variable Annuities and pension risk transfer deals.
• Annualized return on adjusted segment common equity* for the third quarter and year-to-date were both 11.4% compared to 9.7% and 10.5%, respectively, in the prior year.
• During the third quarter, Corebridge returned $192 million to shareholders through approximately $146 million of common stock dividends and $46 million in share repurchases.

OTHER OPERATIONS

Other Operations

• Other Operations adjusted pre-tax loss (APTL) of $465 million improved $149 million, or 24%, from the prior year quarter, primarily due to the impact of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), in addition to improved results in Corporate and Other.
• Corporate and Other APTL improved $97 million, or 19%, from the prior year quarter, largely due to lower general operating expenses, higher income from parent short-term investments, and the absence of mark-to-market losses on a legacy investment portfolio that was sold in the fourth quarter of 2022. The improvement was partially offset by higher interest expenses related to Corebridge financial debt compared to the third quarter of 2022.
• The Asset Management Group (AMG), which includes the consolidated results of VIEs, recorded adjusted pre-tax loss of $47 million, reflecting a $98 million decrease from the prior year quarter, largely due to lower interest income and net losses associated with VIEs compared to net gains in the prior year quarter.
• Changes in consolidation and eliminations were attributable to elimination of intercompany net investment income of VIEs that are consolidated by AMG within Other Operations whereby the insurance subsidiaries report as net investment income for their investment in consolidated VIEs included in AMG. The third quarter of 2023 included the elimination of net losses compared to modest net gains in the prior year quarter.

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 Third Quarter 2023 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.

Book Value per Common Share, Excluding Goodwill, Value of Business Acquired (VOBA), Value of Distribution Channel Acquired (VODA), Other Intangible Assets, AOCI adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets, and Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) (Adjusted Tangible Book Value per Common Share) is used to provide more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder on a per-common share basis. Adjusted Tangible Book Value per Common Share is derived by dividing Total AIG common shareholders’ equity, excluding intangible assets, AOCI adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets, and DTA (Adjusted Tangible Common Shareholders’ Equity), by total common shares outstanding.

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, 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)
2. Acquisition ratio = Total acquisition expenses ÷ NPE
3. General operating expense ratio = General operating expenses ÷ NPE
4. Expense ratio = Acquisition ratio + General operating expense ratio
5. Combined ratio = Loss ratio + Expense ratio
6. CATs and reinstatement premiums ratio = [Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred – (CATs)] ÷ [NPE +/(-) Reinstatement premiums related to catastrophes] – Loss ratio
7. Accident year loss ratio, as adjusted (AYLR ex-CAT) = [Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred – CATs – PYD] ÷ [NPE +/(-) Reinstatement premiums related to catastrophes +/(-) Prior year premiums + Adjustment for ceded premium under reinsurance contracts related to prior accident years]
8. Accident year combined ratio, as adjusted (AYCR ex-CAT) = AYLR ex-CAT + Expense ratio
9. Prior year development net of reinsurance and prior year premiums ratio = [Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred – CATs – PYD] ÷ [NPE +/(-) Reinstatement premiums related to catastrophes +/(-) Prior year premiums] – Loss ratio – CATs and reinstatement premiums ratio.

Premiums and deposits: includes direct and assumed amounts received and earned on traditional life insurance policies, group benefit policies and life‑contingent payout annuities, as well as deposits received on universal life, investment‑type annuity contracts, Federal Home Loan Bank funding agreements and mutual funds. We believe the measure of premiums and deposits is useful in understanding customer demand for our products, evolving product trends and our sales performance period over period.

Results from discontinued operations are excluded from all of these measures.
