Summary
AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC. (AIG) filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, on February 24, 2011. The filing highlights significant progress in AIG's recapitalization plan, including the repayment of its credit facility with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a substantial reduction in its debt. The company reported improved income from continuing operations before income taxes of $17.9 billion in 2010, a significant turnaround from a loss of $14.3 billion in 2009. This improvement was largely driven by substantial divestiture activity, including the successful initial public offering of AIA Group Limited and the sale of American Life Insurance Company (ALICO), which generated significant gains. AIG's core insurance operations, particularly its property and casualty segment (Chartis), continued to show mixed results. Chartis recorded a substantial reserve strengthening charge of $4.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily related to its asbestos, excess casualty, and workers' compensation lines, reflecting adverse development in prior accident years. However, the company is implementing strategies to address historical loss reserve experience and improve its business mix. The life insurance and retirement services segment (SunAmerica) saw an increase in operating income, driven by higher net investment income and a favorable unlocking of deferred policy acquisition costs.
