10-QPeriod: Q3 FY2022

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC. Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2022

Filed November 2, 2022For Securities:AIG

Summary

American International Group, Inc. (AIG) reported a strong third quarter of 2022, with net income attributable to AIG common shareholders increasing significantly to $2.7 billion, or $3.50 per diluted share, compared to $1.7 billion, or $1.92 per diluted share, in the prior year's third quarter. This robust performance was largely driven by a substantial increase in net realized gains, particularly from derivative and hedge activities and favorable movements related to Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivatives, which more than offset a decline in net investment income across the company's segments. The General Insurance segment demonstrated improved underwriting results, with a combined ratio of 97.3%, benefiting from favorable prior year reserve development and disciplined underwriting. The Life and Retirement segment saw a decline in adjusted pre-tax income, primarily due to lower net investment income and the impact of actuarial assumption updates, though the rising interest rate environment presents opportunities for fixed annuity sales. The company also successfully completed the initial public offering (IPO) of Corebridge Financial, Inc., its life and retirement business, raising approximately $1.7 billion and strengthening AIG's capital position.

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary driver of the substantial increase in net income was a significant rise in net realized gains, particularly from derivative and hedge activities and favorable movements related to Fortitude Re funds withheld embedded derivatives, which more than offset a decline in net investment income.

The General Insurance segment showed improved performance with underwriting income of $168 million and a combined ratio of 97.3%, down from 99.7% in the prior year's quarter. This improvement was supported by favorable prior year reserve development and disciplined underwriting practices.

The IPO of Corebridge Financial, Inc., AIG's life and retirement business, where AIG sold a 12.4% stake, raised approximately $1.7 billion in gross proceeds. This transaction helps to strengthen AIG's capital position and allows it to focus on its General Insurance operations while maintaining a significant stake in the Life and Retirement business.

The rising interest rate environment is beneficial for AIG's General Insurance segment, increasing investment income. For the Life and Retirement segment, it improves yields on new investments and makes products like fixed annuities more attractive for sales. However, it also leads to lower valuations of existing fixed-income assets and can impact product pricing and potential surrenders.
