American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

“We are off to an excellent start in 2025. Despite a challenging catastrophe quarter that produced elevated losses for the industry, AIG delivered very strong results. This outcome underscores the effectiveness of our technical underwriting expertise and strategic use of reinsurance, positioning us within our expectations for the remainder of the year. In addition, we reported AIG’s best first quarter accident year combined ratio, as adjusted, since the financial crisis, reflecting the exceptional quality of our underlying portfolio,” said Peter Zaffino, AIG Chairman & Chief Executive Officer.

“We produced impressive top-line growth with net premiums written increasing 8% year-over-year on a comparable basis^†. Global Commercial grew 10%^†, maintaining high retention of 88% and very strong and balanced new business of $1.1 billion. North America Commercial grew 14%^† and International Commercial grew 8%^†.

“We continued to deliver against our disciplined capital management strategy and in many ways accelerated progress in the first quarter, returning $2.5 billion of capital to shareholders, including $2.2 billion of share repurchases and $234 million of dividends. We ended the quarter with a debt to total capital ratio of 17.1% and parent liquidity of $4.9 billion.

“As we had signaled at our Investor Day, the AIG Board of Directors has approved a 12.5% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.45 per share starting in the second quarter of 2025, the third consecutive year of double-digit percentage increases, reflecting confidence in the future earnings power of AIG.

“While the broader macroeconomic and geopolitical environment remains uncertain, AIG is navigating these challenges from a position of strength given our global diversified portfolio, disciplined underwriting, and resilient balance sheet. Our dedicated colleagues around the world remain committed to delivering on our objectives with the highest quality.

“At our Investor Day on March 31, we set out to demonstrate that, by every measure, we have executed an unprecedented turnaround and today AIG is a different company with unparalleled opportunities. As we look ahead, we have significant strategic and financial flexibility, exceptional momentum, and we continue to expect to achieve 10%+ Core Operating ROE for full year 2025 along with the three-year financial targets we provided at our Investor Day.”

FINANCIAL SUMMARY

For the first quarter of 2025, net income attributable to AIG common shareholders was $698 million, or $1.16 per diluted common share, compared to $1.2 billion, or $1.74 per diluted common share, in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year decrease was largely attributable to net income of $0.61 per diluted common share from Corebridge Financial, Inc.’s (Corebridge), recognized in the prior year quarter, prior to Corebridge’s deconsolidation.

AATI was $702 million, or $1.17 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $862 million, or $1.25 per diluted common share, in the prior year quarter, reflecting lower underwriting income in General Insurance driven by higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by more favorable prior year development and lower expense ratio as well as improved results in Other Operations.

Total net investment income for the first quarter of 2025 was $1.1 billion, an increase of 13% from $979 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to change in fair value and dividend income from AIG’s equity in Corebridge, higher income on available for sale fixed maturity securities and lower investment expenses, partially offset by lower income from short-term investments, mortgage loans and other invested assets. Total net investment income on an APTI basis* was $845 million, flat compared to the prior year quarter. Net investment income attributed to General Insurance was down 3% from the prior year quarter, mainly due to lower income from alternatives and other invested assets, partially offset by higher income on available for sale fixed maturity securities and lower investment expenses.

In the first quarter of 2025, AIG returned approximately $2.5 billion to shareholders through $2.2 billion of common stock repurchases representing approximately 29 million shares, and $234 million of common stock dividends. AIG Parent liquidity was $4.9 billion as of March 31, 2025.

Return on Equity (ROE) and Core Operating ROE* were 6.7% and 7.7%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025. Book value per share was $71.38 as of March 31, 2025, an increase of 2% from December 31, 2024. Adjusted tangible book value per share* was $67.96, flat from December 31, 2024. Total debt to total capital ratio at March 31, 2025 was 17.1% and total debt to total adjusted capital* ratio was 16.6%.

On May 1, 2025, the AIG Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on AIG common stock of $0.45 per share. The dividend is payable on June 27, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 13, 2025.

Realignment of Reportable Segments: In the fourth quarter 2024, AIG realigned its organizational structure and the composition of its reportable segments to reflect changes in how AIG manages its operations, specifically the level at which its chief operating decision makers regularly review operating results and allocate resources. AIG has three reportable segments: North America Commercial, International Commercial and Global Personal. General Insurance consists of our three reportable segments and the net investment income related to our insurance operations. Prior years’ presentations have been revised to conform to the new reportable segments.

GENERAL INSURANCE

• First quarter NPW of $4.5 billion was flat from the prior year quarter on a reported basis, but increased 8% on a comparable basis^†, driven by 10%^† growth in Global Commercial.
• Underwriting income was $243 million, a 59% decrease from the prior year quarter, due principally to higher catastrophe charges.
• Total catastrophe-related charges were $525 million, representing 9.1 loss ratio points, compared to $106 million, representing 1.9 loss ratio points, in the prior year quarter. First quarter 2025 included $460 million of losses, before reinstatement premiums, from the January California wildfires.
• First quarter 2025 included favorable prior year development (PYD), net of reinsurance and prior year premiums, of $64 million, compared to $22 million in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by favorable development on U.S. Property and Global Specialty along with the amortization benefit related to adverse development cover.
• The combined ratio was 95.8%, compared to 89.8% in the prior year quarter. The increase was largely driven by higher catastrophe charges, partially offset by lower expense ratio, which improved 130 basis points. The AYCR was 87.8%, compared to 88.4% in the prior year quarter.
• General Insurance APTI* of $979 million decreased 28% from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by lower underwriting income.

GENERAL INSURANCE - NORTH AMERICA COMMERCIAL

• First quarter NPW of $1.2 billion increased 14% from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by Lexington Insurance, benefiting from new business production and strong retention, as well as Glatfelter and Retail Property.
• The combined ratio was 93.9%, compared to 88.1% in the prior year quarter. The increase was mainly driven by higher catastrophe charges predominantly from the January California wildfires, partially offset by lower expense ratio and more favorable PYD, net of reinsurance. The AYCR was 84.3%, compared to 85.9% in the prior year quarter.

GENERAL INSURANCE - INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL

• First quarter NPW of $2.0 billion increased 5% from the prior year quarter, or 8% on a comparable basis^†, driven by the growth in Property and Global Specialty.
• First quarter combined ratio was 88.2%, compared to 83.6% in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher loss ratio, predominantly driven by catastrophe charges, and increased general operating expense ratio, partially offset by more favorable PYD, net of reinsurance. The AYCR was 85.4%, compared to 83.0% in the prior year quarter, driven by an increase in both the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, and the general operating expense ratio.

GENERAL INSURANCE - GLOBAL PERSONAL

• First quarter NPW of $1.3 billion declined 14% from the prior year quarter, but grew 3% on a comparable basis^†, driven by growth in Personal Auto, resulting from positive rate change and new business production.
• First quarter combined ratio was 107.9%, compared to 98.3% in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by the impact from the January California wildfires, partially offset by improved expense ratio. The AYCR was 95.6%, improved from 97.0% in the prior year quarter.

OTHER OPERATIONS

• Other Operations predominantly consists of Net investment income from our AIG Parent liquidity portfolio, Corebridge dividend income, corporate General operating expenses (GOE), and Interest expense.
• Net investment income and other in the first quarter increased $37 million from the prior year quarter due to dividend income received from Corebridge in the first quarter of 2025.
• Corporate and other GOE improved $73 million from the prior year quarter, reflecting portions of the benefits from the savings of AIG Next and incremental GOE expenses being transferred into General Insurance. We achieved run-rate Other Operations GOE target at $85 million in the first quarter of 2025 and are on track to achieving the target operating structure of $350 million of annual expenses in 2025.
• Interest expense decreased $24 million from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by debt reduction.

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 2025 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 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 share, excluding investments related cumulative unrealized gains and losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) adjusted for the cumulative unrealized gains and losses related to Fortitude Re funds withheld assets (collectively, Investments AOCI) (Adjusted book value per share) is used to show the amount of our net worth on a per share basis after eliminating the fair value of investments that can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in market conditions. 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 (Fortitude Re funds withheld assets) since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re. Adjusted book value per share is derived by dividing total AIG common shareholders’ equity, excluding Investments AOCI (AIG adjusted common shareholders' equity) by total common shares outstanding.

Book Value per share, excluding Investments AOCI, Goodwill, Value of business acquired (VOBA), Value of distribution channel acquired (VODA) and Other intangible assets (Adjusted tangible book value per share) is used to provide a useful measure of the realizable shareholder value on a per share basis after eliminating the fair value of investments that can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in market conditions and Fortitude Re funds withheld assets since these fair value movements are economically transferred to Fortitude Re. Adjusted tangible book value per share is derived by dividing AIG adjusted common equity, excluding intangible assets, (AIG adjusted tangible common shareholders’ equity) by total common shares outstanding.

Book value per share, excluding Investments AOCI, deferred tax assets (DTA) and AIG’s ownership interest in Corebridge (Core operating book value per share) is used to show the amount of our net worth on a per share basis after eliminating Investments AOCI, DTA and AIG’s ownership interest in Corebridge. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the fair value of investments that can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in market conditions. We also exclude the portion of DTA representing U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs), corporate alternative minimum tax credits (CAMTCs) and foreign tax credits (FTCs) that have not yet been utilized. Amounts for interim periods are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. As NOLs, CAMTCs and FTCs are utilized, the corresponding portion of the DTA utilized is included. We exclude AIG’s ownership interest in Corebridge since it is not a core long-term investment for AIG. Core operating book value per share is derived by dividing total AIG common shareholders’ equity, excluding Investments AOCI, DTA and AIG’s ownership interest in Corebridge (AIG core operating shareholders’ equity) by total common shares outstanding.

Total debt and preferred stock to total adjusted capital ratio is used to show the AIG’s debt leverage adjusted for Investments AOCI and is derived by dividing total debt and preferred stock by total capital excluding Investments AOCI (Total adjusted capital). We believe this measure is useful to investors because it eliminates items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in market conditions. 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.

Return on equity – Adjusted after-tax income excluding Investments AOCI (Adjusted return on equity) is used to show the rate of return on common shareholders’ equity excluding Investments AOCI. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the fair value of investments which can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in market conditions. Adjusted return on equity is derived by dividing actual or, for interim periods, annualized adjusted after-tax income attributable to AIG common shareholders by average AIG adjusted common shareholders’ equity.

Return on equity – Adjusted after-tax income excluding Investments AOCI, DTA and AIG’s ownership interest in Corebridge (Core operating return on equity) is used to show the rate of return on common shareholders’ equity excluding Investments AOCI, DTA and AIG’s ownership interest in Corebridge. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it eliminates the fair value of investments that can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in market conditions. We also exclude the portion of DTA representing U.S. tax attributes related to NOLs, CAMTCs and FTCs that have not yet been utilized. Amounts for interim periods are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. As NOLs, CAMTCs and FTCs are utilized, the corresponding portion of the DTA utilized is included. We exclude AIG’s ownership interest in Corebridge since it is not a core long-term investment for AIG. We believe this metric will provide investors with greater insight as to the underlying profitability of our property and casualty business. Core operating return on equity is derived by dividing actual or, for interim periods, annualized adjusted after-tax income attributable to AIG common shareholders by average AIG core operating shareholders’ equity.

Adjusted Pre-tax Income (APTI) is derived by excluding the items set forth below from income from continuing operations before income tax:

• changes in the fair values of equity securities, AIG's investment in Corebridge and gain on sale of shares;
• net investment income on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets;
• 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);
• income or loss from discontinued operations;
• net loss reserve discount benefit (charge);
• net results of businesses in run-off;
• non-operating pension expense;
• 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 15 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.

Results from discontinued operations, including Corebridge, are excluded from all of these measures.
