Filed November 5, 2010For Securities:AIG

Summary

American International Group, Inc. (AIG) reported its third-quarter and nine-month results for the period ending September 30, 2010. The company is navigating a significant period of restructuring and recapitalization, aiming to repay obligations to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and the U.S. Treasury. Key events during the period include progress on the sale of subsidiaries like ALICO and AIA, which are expected to generate substantial proceeds contributing to debt repayment. The financial statements reveal a net loss attributable to AIG for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, driven by various impairments and restructuring charges. However, the company is showing signs of operational improvement in its General Insurance and Domestic Life Insurance segments, with pre-tax income increasing in these areas. The Financial Services segment, particularly Capital Markets, continues to face challenges, reflected in significant unrealized losses and wind-down costs. AIG's liquidity remains dependent on government support, but management expresses confidence in its ability to meet obligations over the next twelve months, contingent on the successful completion of its recapitalization and asset disposition plans. Investors should closely monitor the progress of these strategic initiatives and their impact on the company's financial stability and future profitability.

Frequently Asked Questions

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, AIG reported a net loss attributable to AIG of $3,268 million. While the company saw operational improvements in its General Insurance and Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services segments, the Financial Services segment, particularly Capital Markets, continued to face challenges. The overall financial performance is significantly influenced by ongoing restructuring, asset dispositions, and the impact of government support.

AIG's primary strategic initiatives revolve around its recapitalization plan to repay its FRBNY credit facility and restructure its capital. This involves significant asset dispositions, including the recent sales of ALICO and the IPO of AIA. The company is also actively winding down its Capital Markets businesses and stabilizing its remaining operations.

AIG's liquidity remains heavily dependent on the availability of funding from the FRBNY credit facility and the U.S. Department of the Treasury commitment, with plans to repay these obligations through asset sales and the recapitalization. The company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for at least the next twelve months, contingent on the successful execution of its restructuring plans.

The General Insurance and Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services segments are showing signs of operational improvement and increased pre-tax income. However, the Financial Services segment, particularly Capital Markets, continues to be impacted by significant unrealized losses and wind-down costs. ILFC also reported asset impairment losses. The future performance of these segments will be significantly influenced by the success of AIG's broader strategic initiatives and market conditions.
