(a)

For periods reporting a loss, basic average common shares outstanding are used to calculate net income (loss) per diluted share.

(b)

The declines in Consolidated Normalized ROE and Core Normalized ROE are largely due to the increase in second half 2016 U.S. Casualty loss estimates, which contributed 0.8 pts and 1.0 pts to the declines respectively.

All comparisons are against the first quarter of 2016, unless otherwise indicated. Refer to the AIG First Quarter 2017 Financial Supplement which is posted on AIG’s website in the Investor Information section for further information.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

ROE Improvements – ROE of 6.3% and Core Adjusted ROE of 10.2% improved largely due to active capital management and expense efficiencies. After normalizing our results, including for strong alternative investment returns and lower than expected catastrophe losses, Core Normalized ROE was 8.7%. The decline in Core Normalized ROE of 30 bps from a year ago is largely due to the increase in second half 2016 U.S. Casualty loss estimates. Had the loss estimates been reflected in the first quarter of 2016, the Core Normalized ROE would have been 100 bps lower. The year ago Core Normalized ROE also included a 50 bps contribution from certain favorable tax audit resolutions.

Expense Reduction Ahead of Target – General operating and other expenses (GOE) declined $560 million or 18.6% to $2.4 billion. GOE, operating basis, declined 10% on a constant dollar basis excluding the GOE reductions related to the sales of United Guaranty Corporation and AIG Advisor Group, driven by organizational simplification and better use of technology.

Execution of Capital and Liquidity Plan – In the first quarter, AIG repurchased 56.0 million common shares for $3.6 billion. Through May 3, 2017, AIG has repurchased an additional 18.1 million common shares for $1.1 billion. On May 3, 2017, AIG’s Board of Directors authorized an additional increase to its previous repurchase authorization of AIG Common Stock of $2.5 billion, resulting in an aggregate remaining authorization of approximately $3.8 billion on such date.

In the first quarter, AIG Parent received $2.8 billion of distributions from insurance subsidiaries including $2.6 billion remitted by the Life Insurance Companies in the form of tax sharing payments which were primarily the result of a life reinsurance agreement entered into at the end of 2016.

Continued Progress on Sculpting the Portfolio – Since the first quarter AIG closed on the sale of AIG Fuji Life Insurance Company, Ltd. to FWD Group. In addition, AIG closed on four of the twelve international operations it had agreed to sell to Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited.

CORE

Commercial Insurance Highlights – In the first quarter, Commercial Insurance results benefited from strong alternative investment returns and expense reduction. Reinsurance and continued remediation in the U.S. Casualty and Property businesses accounted for a large majority of the decline in net premiums written which is consistent with AIG’s focus on risk selection and targeted growth.

 

•

Pre-tax operating income included $35 million of favorable prior year reserve development, net of reinsurance and premium adjustments, in Property and Special Risks and $81 million of adverse prior year reserve development, net of reinsurance and premium adjustments in Liability and Financial Lines. The Liability and Financial

		FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Lines adverse development primarily reflected a $102 million addition related to the Ogden U.K. discount rate adjustment which was partially offset by $41 million of benefit attributable to the partial quarterly amortization of the deferred gain from the adverse development reinsurance agreement with National Indemnity Company.

 

•

The loss ratio of 71.9 increased by 4.1 points in the first quarter 2017. The accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, of 65.5 increased by 2.0 points. The first quarter of 2016 did not include the increase in second half 2016 loss estimates, which were primarily in the U.S. Casualty business. Taking into account the increased loss estimates, the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, would have improved by 2.2 points.

 

•

The expense ratio was 30.3 in the first quarter, slightly higher than that in the prior year quarter as improvements in GOE, ceding commissions received from reinsurers and a decline in commission expenses associated with the sale of Ascot Underwriting Holdings Ltd. were offset by the decline in premiums associated with our strategic portfolio actions.

 

•

Commercial Insurance net premiums written decreased by 17% or 14% on a constant dollar basis excluding divestitures. The increased use of reinsurance in Property represented 4 points of the decline, while the remaining 10 points was related to continued execution on our strategic portfolio actions throughout the first quarter of 2017, and the important January 1st renewal date in Europe.

Consumer Insurance Highlights – In the first quarter, Consumer Insurance earnings were supported by increased alternative investment income and expense control, combined with stable earnings from the inforce Individual and Group Retirement and Life Insurance businesses.

 

•

Pre-tax operating income increased 49%, driven by higher returns on alternative investments and expense reductions across all Consumer Insurance businesses.

 

•

In Individual Retirement, higher returns on alternative investments, lower acquisition cost amortization and benefit expense, and higher policy fee income related to better equity market performance were partially offset by the decrease in income from the sale of AIG Advisor Group in May 2016.

 

•

In Group Retirement, premiums increased slightly, while premiums and deposits increased 10% driven by group acquisitions. Higher surrenders resulted in negative net flows. Lower prepayments on commercial mortgage loans were offset by higher returns on alternative investments and effective crediting rate management.

 

•

In Life Insurance, higher pre-tax operating income reflected higher returns on alternative investments, higher policy fee income primarily from growth in universal life and lower domestic GOE.

 

•

Personal Insurance delivered solid results. Growth in net investment income from alternative investments and an improved expense ratio which reflected strategic actions, were partially offset by a lower earned premium base, higher accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, and lower net favorable prior year loss reserve development.

LEGACY & OTHER

Legacy Portfolio Highlights - During the first quarter, the Legacy Investment portfolio executed on several transactions with external parties for total consideration of approximately $468 million. The majority of the consideration received was used to pay down intercompany loans and notes with affiliated insurance companies.

 

•

Higher Legacy Investment pre-tax operating income was driven by higher appreciation on assets for which the fair value option was elected.

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 and representative of its business results. Some of the measurements AIG uses are “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. GAAP is the acronym for “generally accepted accounting principles” in the United States. The non-GAAP

		FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

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 First Quarter 2017 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 (AOCI) and Book Value per Common Share, Excluding AOCI and Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) (Adjusted Book Value per Common Share) and Adjusted Book Value per Common Share, Including Dividend Growth are used to show the amount of AIG’s net worth on a per-share basis. AIG believes these measures are useful to investors because they eliminate items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value of AIG’s available for sale securities portfolio, foreign currency translation adjustments and U.S. tax attribute deferred tax assets. These measures also eliminate the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of AIG’s available for sale securities portfolio wherein there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities. AIG excludes deferred tax assets representing U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits as they have not yet been utilized. Amounts for interim periods are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. As net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits are utilized, the portion of the DTA utilized is included in these book value per common share metrics. Book value per common share, excluding AOCI, is derived by dividing Total AIG Shareholders’ equity, excluding AOCI, by total common shares outstanding. Adjusted Book Value per Common Share is derived by dividing Total AIG shareholders’ equity, excluding AOCI and DTA (Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity), by total common shares outstanding. Adjusted Book Value per Common Share, including dividend growth is derived by dividing Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity including growth in quarterly dividends above $0.125 per share to shareholders, by total common shares outstanding.

AIG Return on Equity – After-tax Operating Income Excluding AOCI and DTA (Adjusted Return on Equity) is used to show the rate of return on shareholders’ equity. AIG believes this measure is useful to investors because it eliminates items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value of AIG’s available for sale securities portfolio, foreign currency translation adjustments and U.S. tax attribute deferred tax assets. This measure also eliminates the asymmetrical impact resulting from changes in fair value of AIG’s available for sale securities portfolio wherein there is largely no offsetting impact for certain related insurance liabilities. AIG excludes deferred tax assets representing U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits as they have not yet been utilized. Amounts for interim periods are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. As net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits are utilized, the portion of the DTA utilized is included in Adjusted Return on Equity. Adjusted Return on Equity is derived by dividing actual or annualized after-tax operating income attributable to AIG by average Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity.

AIG Normalized Return on Equity further adjusts Adjusted Return on Equity for the effects of certain volatile or market related items. AIG believes this measure is useful to investors because it presents the trends in AIG’s consolidated return on equity without the impact of certain items that can experience volatility in AIG’s short-term results. Normalized Return on Equity is derived by excluding the following tax adjusted effects from Adjusted Return on Equity: the difference between actual and expected (i) catastrophe losses, (ii) alternative investment returns, and (iii)

Direct Investment book (DIB) and Global Capital Markets (GCM) returns; fair value changes on PICC investments; update of actuarial assumptions; Life insurance incurred but not reported (IBNR) death claim charge; and prior year loss reserve development.

Core Attributed Equity is an attribution of total AIG Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity to each of AIG’s modules within Core based on AIG’s internal capital model, which incorporates the respective risk profiles. Attributed equity represents AIG’s best estimates based on current facts and circumstances and will change over time.

Core Return on Equity – After-tax Operating Income (Adjusted Return on Attributed Equity) is used to show the rate of return on attributed equity. Return on Attributed Equity is derived by dividing actual or annualized After-tax Operating Income by Average Attributed Equity.

Core Normalized Return on Attributed Equity (Normalized Return on Attributed Equity) further adjusts Adjusted Return on Attributed Equity for the effects of certain volatile or market-related items. AIG believes this measure is useful to investors because it presents the trends in AIG’s Return on Attributed Equity without the impact of certain items that can experience volatility in our short-term results. Normalized Return on Attributed Equity is derived by excluding the following tax adjusted effects from Return on Attributed Equity: the difference between actual and expected (i) catastrophe losses, (ii) alternative investment returns, and (iii) DIB and GCM returns; fair value changes on PICC investments; update of actuarial assumptions; Life insurance IBNR death claim charge; and prior year loss reserve development.

After-tax Operating Income Attributable to Core is derived by subtracting attributed interest expense and income tax expense from pre-tax operating income. Attributed debt and the related interest expense is calculated based on AIG’s internal capital model. Tax expense or benefit is calculated based on an internal attribution methodology that considers among other things the taxing jurisdiction in which the operating segments conduct business, as well as the deductibility of expenses in those jurisdictions.

Normalized After-tax Operating Income Attributable to Core further adjusts After-tax Operating Income attributable to Core for the effects of certain volatile or market related items. AIG believes this measure is useful to investors because it presents the trends in after tax operating income without the impact of certain items that can experience volatility in AIG’s short-term results. Normalized After-tax Operating Income attributable to Core is derived by excluding the following tax adjusted effects from After-tax Operating Income: the difference between actual and expected (i) catastrophe losses, (ii) alternative investment returns, and (iii) DIB and GCM returns; fair value changes on PICC investments; update of actuarial assumptions; Life insurance IBNR death claim charge; and prior year loss reserve development (PYD), net of reinsurance premium adjustments.

Operating Revenues exclude Net realized capital gains (losses), income from non-operating litigation settlements (included in Other income for GAAP purposes) and changes in fair value of securities used to hedge guaranteed living benefits (included in Net investment income for GAAP purposes). Operating revenues is a GAAP measure for our operating segments.

		FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

General Operating Expenses, Operating Basis (Operating GOE), is derived by making the following adjustments to general operating and other expenses: include (i) certain loss adjustment expenses, reported as policyholder benefits and losses incurred and (ii) certain investment and other expenses reported as net investment income, and exclude (i) advisory fee expenses, (ii) non-deferrable insurance commissions, (iii) direct marketing and acquisition expenses, net of deferrals, (iv) non-operating litigation reserves and (v) other expense related to an asbestos retroactive reinsurance agreement. AIG uses General operating expenses, operating basis, because AIG believes it provides a more meaningful indication of AIG’s ordinary course of business operating costs, regardless of within which financial statement line item these expenses are reported externally within AIG’s segment results. The majority of these expenses are employee-related costs. For example, Other acquisition expenses and losses and loss adjustment expenses primarily represent employee-related costs in the underwriting and claims functions, respectively. Excluded from this measure are non-operating expenses (such as restructuring costs and litigation reserves), direct marketing expenses, insurance company assessments and non-deferrable commissions. AIG also excludes the impact of foreign exchange and the expenses of AIG Advisor Group and UGC, which have been divested, when measuring period-over-period fluctuations in General Operating Expenses, Operating basis.

AIG uses the following operating performance measures because AIG believes they enhance the understanding of the underlying profitability of continuing operations and trends of AIG’s business segments. AIG believes they also allow for more meaningful comparisons with AIG’s insurance competitors. When AIG uses these measures, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided on a consolidated basis.

Pre-tax Operating Income (PTOI) is derived by excluding the following items from income from continuing operations before income tax. This definition is consistent across AIG’s modules (including geography). These items generally fall into one or more of the following broad categories: legacy matters having no relevance to AIG’s current businesses or operating performance; adjustments to enhance transparency to the underlying economics of transactions; and measures that AIG believes to be common to the industry. PTOI is a GAAP measure for our operating segments.

		FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

After-tax Operating Income Attributable to AIG (ATOI) is derived by excluding the tax effected PTOI adjustments described above and the following tax items from net income attributable to AIG:

 

•

deferred income tax valuation allowance releases and charges; and

 

•

uncertain tax positions and other tax items related to legacy matters having no relevance to our current businesses or operating performance.

See page 12 for the reconciliation of Net income attributable to AIG to After-tax Operating Income Attributable to AIG.

Ratios: AIG, 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 losses and loss adjustment expenses (which for Commercial Insurance excludes net loss reserve discount), 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. AIG’s ratios are calculated using the relevant segment information calculated under GAAP, and thus may not be comparable to similar ratios calculated for regulatory reporting purposes. 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.

Accident year loss and combined ratios, as adjusted: both the accident year loss and combined ratios, as adjusted, exclude catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums, prior year development, net of premium adjustments, and the impact of reserve discounting. Natural catastrophe losses are generally weather or seismic events having a net impact on AIG in excess of $10 million each. Catastrophes also include certain man-made events, such as terrorism and civil disorders that meet the $10 million threshold. AIG believes the as adjusted ratios are meaningful measures of AIG’s underwriting results on an on-going basis as they exclude catastrophes and the impact of reserve discounting which are outside of management’s control. AIG also exclude prior year development to provide transparency related to current accident year results.

Underwriting ratios are computed as follows:

 

•

Loss ratio = Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred ÷ Net premiums earned (NPE)

 

•

Acquisition ratio = Total acquisition expenses ÷ NPE

 

•

General operating expense ratio = General operating expenses ÷ NPE

 

•

Expense ratio = Acquisition ratio + General operating expense ratio

 

•

Combined ratio = Loss ratio + Expense ratio

 

•

Accident year loss ratio, as adjusted (AYLR) = [Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred – CATs – PYD] ÷ [NPE +/(-) Reinstatement premiums (RIPs) related to catastrophes +/(-) RIPs related to prior year catastrophes + (Additional) returned premium related to PYD]

---

		FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

•

Accident year combined ratio = AYLR + Expense ratio

 

•

Catastrophe losses (CATs) and reinstatement premiums = [Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred – (CATs)] ÷ [NPE +/(-) RIPs related to catastrophes] – Loss ratio

 

•

Prior year development net of premium adjustments = [Loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred – Prior year loss reserve development unfavorable (favorable) (PYD), net of reinsurance] ÷ [NPE +/(-) RIPs related to prior year catastrophes + (Additional) returned premium related to prior year development] – Loss ratio

Premiums and deposits: includes direct and assumed amounts received and earned on traditional life insurance policies, group benefit policies and life contingent payout annuities, as well as deposits received on universal life, investment type annuity contracts and mutual funds.

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

Financial highlights - notes

 

(a)

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, because we reported a net loss, all common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted shares and diluted per share amounts. We reported an after-tax operating income, therefore, we reported earnings per share on diluted basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the weighted average outstanding shares - diluted includes 29,585,064 dilutive shares.

(b)	Diluted shares in the diluted EPS calculation represent basic shares for the three-months ended March 31, 2016 due to the net loss in that period.

(c)	Computed as Annualized net income (loss) attributable to AIG divided by average AIG shareholders’ equity. Equity includes AOCI and DTA.

(d)	Computed as Annualized After-tax Operating Income attributable to AIG divided by Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity.

(e)	Represents total AIG shareholders’ equity divided by Total common shares outstanding.

(f)	Represents total AIG shareholders’ equity, excluding AOCI, divided by Total common shares outstanding.

(g)	Represents Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity, divided by Total common shares outstanding.

(h)	Represents Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity, and including growth in quarterly dividends above $0.125 per share to shareholders, divided by Total common shares outstanding.
