  • Second quarter 2013 after-tax operating income attributable to AIG of $1.7 billion, after-tax operating income per share attributable to AIG of $1.12
  • On August 1, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on AIG common stock, par value $2.50 per share (AIG Common Stock), of $0.10 per share and authorized the repurchase of shares of AIG Common Stock, with an aggregate purchase price of up to $1.0 billion. The announced actions were approved without assuming a sale of International Lease Finance Corporation
  • Seventh consecutive quarter of positive after-tax operating income attributable to AIG, with solid performance across all areas of the company
  • Insurance operating income of $2.3 billion, up 21 percent from the prior-year second quarter
  • Liability management helped reduce debt in the second quarter by $931 million
  • As of August 1, 2013, the closing of the ILFC transaction has not occurred

American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) today reported net income attributable to AIG of $2.7 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared to $2.3 billion for the second quarter of 2012. After-tax operating income attributable to AIG was $1.7 billion for the second quarters of both 2013 and 2012.

Diluted earnings per share attributable to AIG were $1.84 for the second quarter of 2013, compared with $1.33 for the second quarter of 2012. After-tax operating income per share attributable to AIG was $1.12 for the second quarter of 2013, compared with $0.96 in the second quarter of 2012. Net income attributable to AIG for the quarter exceeded after-tax operating income attributable to AIG largely due to valuation allowance releases associated with deferred tax assets from capital loss carryforwards.

"AIG's solid performance this quarter demonstrates the strength of our diverse global operations," said Robert H. Benmosche, President and Chief Executive Officer of AIG. "These results underscore our businesses' strong fundamentals and reflect our continued commitment to meeting and exceeding the expectations of our customers across all facets of our organization.

"We are pleased with our continued progress and focus on fundamentals as the new AIG - a stronger, simpler, more focused company with a renewed vision and vigor for the future," Mr. Benmosche added. "Our profits this quarter illustrate the success of our continued focus on our core insurance operations and ongoing commitment to capital management. Our property casualty, life and retirement, and mortgage insurance businesses all posted strong operating results. In particular, we witnessed strength this quarter in underwriting improvements and the successful continuation of the shift in our business mix in AIG Property Casualty, disciplined spread management in AIG Life and Retirement, strong performance in our investments, and continued improvement in our mortgage insurance business where about half of net premiums earned in the second quarter of this year were from business written post-2008."

Mr. Benmosche concluded, "Our dedication to operating as one unified company is yielding positive results, and we continue to believe that the benefits of increased collaboration across our company will build and improve upon this quarter's strong earnings."

Capital and Liquidity

  • AIG shareholders' equity totaled $97.5 billion at June 30, 2013.
  • Book value per common share, excluding Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), of $61.25, up 11 percent from the prior-year second quarter. Reported book value per share declined 2 percent from the prior quarter to $66.02 reflecting the impact of the recent rise in interest rates on unrealized investment gains.
  • Cash dividends and loan repayments to AIG Parent from AIG Property Casualty and AIG Life and Retirement subsidiaries totaled $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2013.
  • AIG Parent liquidity sources amounted to approximately $14.7 billion at June 30, 2013, including $11.0 billion of cash, short-term investments, and unencumbered fixed maturity securities.
  • Liability management helped reduce debt in the second quarter of 2013 by $931 million, including the redemption of $750 million aggregate principal amount of our hybrid securities.

AIG PROPERTY CASUALTY

AIG Property Casualty reported operating income of $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2013, compared to operating income of $936 million in the second quarter of 2012. Underwriting performance improved in the second quarter of 2013, as evidenced by the accident year combined ratio, as adjusted, which excludes catastrophes and prior year development, which declined to 96.5 from 98.3 in the second quarter of 2012. Net investment income in the second quarter of 2013 also benefited from the strong performance of alternative investments and gains on fair value option securities. As part of AIG's continued focus on capital management, AIG Property Casualty paid $792 million in cash dividends to AIG Parent during the second quarter of 2013.

The second quarter 2013 combined ratio was 102.6, compared to 102.4 in the second quarter of 2012. Second quarter 2013 results included catastrophe losses of $316 million and adverse net prior year development of $154 million (net of premium adjustments), primarily due to a Storm Sandy loss reserve increase of $142 million. These additional Storm Sandy losses related to a small number of existing large and complex commercial claims. The second quarter 2013 accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, improved to 61.9 compared to 64.8 in the second quarter of 2012, driven by a continued shift to higher value business, enhanced risk selection, and rate increases. The second quarter 2013 acquisition ratio was 20.0, a 0.4 point increase compared to the second quarter of 2012. The general operating expense ratio was 14.6, a 0.7 point increase compared to the second quarter of 2012, as a result of increased personnel-related costs during the second quarter of 2013 offset by a decrease in bad debt expense and reduced costs for infrastructure projects. The general operating expense ratio was also higher due to the lower net premiums earned base.

Second quarter 2013 net premiums written of $9.3 billion increased 1.8 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to pricing increases and focused growth efforts. Excluding the impact of a change in the timing of recognizing the excess of loss ceded premiums written and foreign exchange, second quarter 2013 net premiums written increased 4.0 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012.

Commercial Insurance net premiums written, excluding the impact of the two items noted above, increased 3.6 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012. Higher net premiums written were primarily due to growth in new business and pricing. Consumer Insurance net premiums written, excluding the impact of the two items noted above, increased 4.7 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012. Consumer Insurance continued to focus on growing higher value lines of business, while expanding direct marketing as part of its multi-channel distribution strategy.

Commercial Insurance reported second quarter 2013 operating income of $535 million and a combined ratio of 101.7, compared to operating income of $745 million and a combined ratio of 99.3 in the second quarter of 2012. The second quarter 2013 accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, improved to 62.2 from 67.3 in the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to the shift to higher value business, enhanced risk selection, and rate increases. The second quarter 2013 acquisition ratio was 16.3, a 0.9 point decrease compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to a change in business mix and insurance-related assessments. The second quarter 2013 general operating expense ratio was 12.8, a 1.4 point increase compared to the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to lower net premiums earned and increased personnel-related costs offset by a decrease in bad debt expense.

Consumer Insurance reported second quarter 2013 operating income of $91 million and a combined ratio of 100.1, compared to operating income of $192 million and a combined ratio of 97.7 in the second quarter of 2012. The second quarter 2013 accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, was 60.2 compared to 59.1 in the second quarter of 2012. The second quarter 2013 acquisition ratio was 25.9, a 2.4 point increase over the second quarter of 2012, due to continued changes in Consumer Insurance's business mix and investments in direct marketing. The second quarter 2013 general operating expense ratio was 15.3, a 0.3 point increase compared to the second quarter of 2012, primarily due to lower net premiums earned and increased personnel-related costs, partially offset by reduced costs for infrastructure projects.

Pre-tax operating income in the Other Property Casualty category was $459 million, an increase of $460 million over the prior-year period, principally due to a $268 million improvement in net investment income and lower prior-year unfavorable development from business no longer being written.

AIG LIFE AND RETIREMENT

AIG Life and Retirement reported operating income of $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 23 percent compared to $933 million in the second quarter of 2012. Strong second quarter 2013 performance included robust sales of variable annuities and retail mutual funds, solid growth in fee income, effective spread management, and higher net investment income. Overall net flows turned positive in the quarter despite outflows in fixed annuities, resulting from the low interest rate environment and increased surrenders due to an increase in in-force business coming out of its surrender charge period, and in group retirement. AIG Life and Retirement's ongoing actions to manage crediting rates were effective in enhancing profitability in the quarter.

Net investment income in the second quarter of 2013 was $2.6 billion, a 5 percent increase from the second quarter of 2012. Net investment income in the current quarter benefited from higher returns on alternative investments compared to the second quarter of 2012. This increase was partially offset by an $84 million decline in the quarter in the fair value of AIG Life and Retirement's investment in The People's Insurance Company (Group) of China Limited. The base investment yield in the second quarter of 2013 was 5.35 percent compared to 5.5 percent in the second quarter of 2012, reflecting reinvestment of assets over the last 12 months at rates which were lower than the weighted average yield of the overall portfolio. However, through disciplined management of new and renewal crediting rates consistent with product pricing objectives and market conditions, AIG Life and Retirement expanded base net investment spreads in the quarter for both Fixed Annuities and Group Retirement. AIG Life and Retirement also continued to realize significant tax gains in its fixed income investment portfolio to utilize its capital loss carryforwards.

Assets under management rose 10 percent to $294 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2013 compared to $268 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2012. Net flows and account values increased substantially compared to the prior-year period. The growth in assets under management was also aided by the development of the Stable Value Wrap business. Partially offsetting the increase was the impact of the recent rise in interest rates, which resulted in a reduction in AIG Life and Retirement's unrealized gain position on available for sale securities.

Premiums and deposits totaled $6.8 billion in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 24 percent compared to $5.4 billion in the second quarter of 2012. Sales of individual variable annuities and retail mutual funds drove this strong performance. Compared to the second quarter of 2012, Retirement Income Solutions and Retail Mutual Fund premiums and deposits increased 65 percent and 96 percent, respectively, with individual variable annuities achieving sales of $2.2 billion in the second quarter of 2013.

The Retail segment reported quarterly operating income of $670 million, an increase of 25 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012, driven by account value growth that led to higher fee income along with the segment's ongoing strategy to actively manage spreads in its interest rate-sensitive products. The Retail segment's realigned distribution system continued to deliver strong performance, generating robust sales and positive net flows in the quarter. Higher alternative investment income also contributed to the increase in operating income.

The Institutional segment reported quarterly operating income of $481 million, an increase of 21 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012. Group Retirement and Institutional Markets each contributed solidly to the performance in the quarter. The improvement in results from the second quarter of 2012 was primarily generated by higher net investment income and active spread management.

In the second quarter of 2013, AIG Life and Retirement provided approximately $545 million in liquidity to AIG Parent, including cash dividends and loan repayments.

MORTGAGE GUARANTY

United Guaranty Corporation, AIG's residential mortgage guaranty operations, reported operating income of $73 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to operating income of $43 million in the second quarter of 2012. Second quarter 2013 results included a net favorable impact of $49 million from commutations, settlements, and reserve releases.

Net premiums written were $275 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $212 million in the second quarter of 2012. Domestic first-lien new insurance written totaled $13.8 billion in principal of loans insured for the quarter, up 62 percent from $8.5 billion for the same period in 2012, driven primarily by increased mortgage originations as well as new and expanded distribution channels. Quality remained high, with an average FICO score of 755 and an average loan-to-value of 92 percent on new business.

OTHER OPERATIONS

AIG's Other Operations (excluding Mortgage Guaranty) reported second quarter 2013 operating income of $126 million, compared to $639 million in the second quarter of 2012. Operating income for the second quarter of 2013 included growth in Direct Investment book earnings resulting primarily from fair value appreciation on asset-backed security collateralized debt obligations that were acquired in the fourth quarter of 2012. The second quarter of 2012 results included $813 million of pre-tax net fair value gains related to AIG's interests in Maiden Lane III LLC and AIA Group Limited.

Note on 10-Q Timing

On August 1, 2013, the Internal Revenue Service issued a general release. This release caused us to modify the amount of Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance that we planned to record for the second quarter of 2013. The earnings release, conference call slides, and financial supplement have all been updated appropriately as issued. Our usual practice is to file the 10-Q when the earnings are released. However, the second quarter 10-Q will be issued early next week to accommodate the EDGAR electronic process.

Conference Call

AIG will host a conference call tomorrow, Friday, August 2, 2013, at 8:00 a.m. EDT to review these results. The call is open to the public and can be accessed via a live listen-only webcast at www.aig.com. A replay will be available after the call at the same location.

Comment on Regulation G

Throughout this press release, including the financial highlights, AIG presents its financial condition and results of operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful, representative and most transparent. Some of the measurements AIG uses are "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. GAAP is the acronym for "accounting principles generally accepted in the United States." The non-GAAP financial measures AIG presents may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies. The reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP measures in accordance with Regulation G are included within the relevant tables or in the Second Quarter 2013 Financial Supplement available in the Investor Information section of AIG's website, www.aig.com.

Book Value Per Common Share Excluding Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI) is used to show the amount of AIG's net worth on a per-share basis. AIG believes Book Value Per Common Share Excluding AOCI is useful to investors because it eliminates the effect of non-cash items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value of AIG's available for sale portfolio and foreign currency translation adjustments. Book Value Per Common Share Excluding AOCI is derived by dividing Total AIG shareholders' equity, excluding AOCI, by Total common shares outstanding.

AIG uses the following operating performance measures because it believes they enhance understanding of the underlying profitability of continuing operations and trends of AIG and its business segments. AIG believes they also allow for more meaningful comparisons with AIG's insurance competitors.

After-tax operating income (loss) attributable to AIG is derived by excluding the following items from net income (loss) attributable to AIG: income (loss) from discontinued operations, net loss (gain) on sale of divested businesses, income from divested businesses, legacy tax adjustments primarily related to certain changes in uncertain tax positions and other tax adjustments, legal reserves (settlements) related to "legacy crisis matters," deferred income tax valuation allowance (releases) charges, changes in fair value of AIG Life and Retirement securities designated to hedge living benefit liabilities, changes in benefit reserves and deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC), value of business acquired (VOBA), and sales inducement assets (SIA) related to net realized capital (gains) losses, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, net realized capital (gains) losses, non-qualifying derivative hedging activities, excluding net realized capital (gains) losses, and bargain purchase gain. "Legacy crisis matters" include favorable and unfavorable settlements related to events leading up to and resulting from AIG's September 2008 liquidity crisis and legal fees incurred by AIG as the plaintiff in connection with such legal matters. See page 12 for the reconciliation of Net income attributable to AIG to After-tax operating income attributable to AIG.

AIG Property Casualty Operating income (loss) includes both underwriting income (loss) and net investment income, but excludes net realized capital (gains) losses, other (income) expense, legal settlements related to legacy crisis matters described above and bargain purchase gain. Underwriting income (loss) is derived by reducing net premiums earned by claims and claims adjustment expense, acquisition expense and general operating expense.

AIG Property Casualty, along with most property and casualty insurance companies, uses the loss ratio, the expense ratio and the combined ratio as measures of underwriting performance. These ratios are relative measurements that describe, for every $100 of net premiums earned, the amount of claims and claims adjustment expense, and the amount of other underwriting expenses that would be incurred. A combined ratio of less than 100 indicates underwriting income and a combined ratio of over 100 indicates an underwriting loss. The underwriting environment varies across countries and products, as does the degree of litigation activity, all of which affect such ratios. In addition, investment returns, local taxes, cost of capital, regulation, product type and competition can have an effect on pricing and consequently on profitability as reflected in underwriting income and associated ratios.

AIG Property Casualty Accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, is the loss ratio excluding catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums, prior year development, net of premium adjustments, and the impact of reserve discounting. Catastrophe losses are generally weather or seismic events having a net impact on AIG Property Casualty in excess of $10 million each.

AIG Property Casualty Accident year combined ratio, as adjusted, is the combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums, prior year development, net of premium adjustments, and the impact of reserve discounting.

AIG Life and Retirement Operating income (loss) is derived by excluding the following items from net income (loss): legal settlements related to legacy crisis matters described above, changes in fair values of fixed maturity securities designated to hedge living benefit liabilities (net of interest expense), net realized capital (gains) losses, and changes in benefit reserves and DAC, VOBA, and SIA related to net realized capital (gains) losses. AIG believes that Operating income (loss) is useful because excluding these volatile items permits investors to better assess the operating performance of the underlying business by highlighting the results from ongoing operations.

AIG Life and Retirement premiums and deposits include life insurance premiums and deposits on annuity contracts, guaranteed investment contracts and mutual funds.

Other Operations Operating income (loss) is income (loss) excluding certain legal reserves (settlements) related to legacy crisis matters described above, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, Net realized capital (gains) losses, net (gains) losses on sale of divested businesses and properties, and income from divested businesses.

Results from discontinued operations are excluded from all of these measures.
