Filed August 4, 2011For Securities:AIG

Summary

American International Group, Inc. (AIG) reported improved financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2011, largely driven by the successful completion of its recapitalization and significant progress in its asset disposition plan. The company repaid its Federal Reserve Bank of New York credit facility and reduced its outstanding debt. Revenue saw a decrease primarily due to the deconsolidation of AIA, but excluding this impact, premiums grew, particularly in the Chartis segment, which also benefited from the acquisition of Fuji. SunAmerica also showed growth in its annuity and mutual fund businesses. Financial Services, particularly ILFC, experienced a challenging period with lower revenues and increased expenses, although strategic initiatives aim to improve this segment's performance. AIG reported a substantial net income attributable to AIG shareholders for the period, a significant turnaround from the prior year's loss, reflecting the ongoing recovery and strategic repositioning of the company. The company continues to focus on strengthening its businesses, managing capital, and investing for growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

AIG reported a net income attributable to AIG shareholders of $1.84 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, a significant improvement from a net loss of $2.66 billion in the same period of 2010. Total revenues decreased by 9% to $16.68 billion, primarily due to the deconsolidation of AIA, but excluding this impact, revenues showed growth.

AIG substantially completed its recapitalization plan, including repaying the outstanding balance of the FRBNY Credit Facility and terminating it in January 2011. They also completed several asset dispositions, including the sale of Japanese life insurance subsidiaries (AIG Star and AIG Edison) and the MetLife securities.

The Chartis segment showed growth in net premiums written and improved pre-tax income, driven by business mix changes and the acquisition of Fuji. SunAmerica reported higher pre-tax income, with growth in annuity and mutual fund sales. Financial Services, particularly ILFC, faced challenges with lower revenues and expenses related to aircraft sales and debt extinguishment, though liquidity improved. Other Operations, including Parent & Other, showed improved results primarily due to fair value gains on AIA shares and reduced interest expenses, partially offset by a loss on debt extinguishment.

AIG's priorities include strengthening and growing its businesses, managing capital efficiently, optimizing investment income, and restructuring operations. The company expects moderate growth in Chartis U.S. premiums and continued growth in Chartis International, while ILFC is exploring strategic alternatives. SunAmerica anticipates continued improvement in annuity sales.
