Summary
American International Group, Inc. (AIG) reported a net income attributable to AIG of $938 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018. This represents a decrease from the $1,185 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, reported in the first quarter of 2017. The decline was primarily driven by lower net investment income, higher losses and loss adjustment expenses in the General Insurance segment (partially offset by favorable prior year loss reserve development), and reduced adjusted pre-tax income from the Legacy Portfolio. These factors were partially offset by lower general operating and other expenses, gains on sale of divested businesses compared to losses in the prior year, and reduced net realized capital losses. Total revenues for the quarter were $11.71 billion, down from $12.63 billion in the prior year. The company's balance sheet remained substantial, with total assets of $499.14 billion and total shareholders' equity of $63.36 billion at the end of the quarter. AIG continued its capital return program, repurchasing approximately $298 million of common stock and paying a dividend of $0.32 per share. The company also raised capital through new debt issuances totaling $2.5 billion to fund general corporate purposes and the acquisition of Validus Holdings, Ltd.
