Summary

For the third quarter of 2011, AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC. (AIG) reported a significant net loss of $4.1 billion, primarily driven by substantial decreases in net investment income and realized capital gains, as well as higher aircraft leasing expenses and ongoing restructuring efforts. Despite a material reduction in interest expense following the repayment of the FRBNY Credit Facility and lower premiums due to divestitures, the company's financial performance was impacted by several factors including substantial catastrophe losses within Chartis, increased impairment charges and fair value adjustments on aircraft leasing, and negative fair value adjustments on investments. The company continues to make progress on its asset disposition plan and recapitalization efforts, which are aimed at strengthening its financial position. AIG remains focused on managing its capital, growing its core businesses, and deleveraging its balance sheet.
