Summary
American International Group, Inc. (AIG) has announced a significant reorganization of its business segments, effective in the fourth quarter of 2017. This filing, an 8-K dated January 23, 2018, details the shift from a previous structure (Commercial Insurance, Consumer Insurance, Other Operations, Legacy Portfolio) to a new reporting framework. The updated structure will present results across two primary reportable segments: General Insurance and Life and Retirement, alongside Other Operations and a Legacy Portfolio. This strategic change aims to provide a clearer reflection of AIG's evolving business operations and management's view. Investors should note that while the segment reporting has changed, the company explicitly states that these changes have had no impact on its consolidated financial statements (Balance Sheets, Statements of Income, or Cash Flows). AIG has also updated its Third Quarter 2017 Financial Supplement to reflect these revised historical segment results.
