Filed May 2, 2016For Securities:AIG

Summary

American International Group, Inc. (AIG) reported a net loss of $183 million, or $(0.16) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016. This contrasts sharply with a net income of $2,468 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, in the prior year's first quarter. The significant decline was primarily driven by a substantial decrease in net investment income, particularly from alternative investments and lower reinvestment yields, alongside net realized capital losses compared to net realized capital gains in the prior year. The company also incurred restructuring and other costs amounting to $0.2 billion. Despite the net loss, the company's core operating segments showed mixed results. Commercial Insurance reported a pre-tax operating income of $889 million, down from $1,462 million in Q1 2015, largely due to lower net investment income. Consumer Insurance's pre-tax operating income also decreased to $788 million from $945 million, impacted by lower net investment income and higher deferred acquisition cost amortization. The company repurchased $3.5 billion of its common stock and $173 million in warrants during the quarter, signaling a commitment to returning capital to shareholders, while also paying a quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share.
