NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2015-- American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) today reported net income attributable to AIG of $1.8 billion, or $1.32 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $3.1 billion, or $2.10 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014. Compared to the prior-year quarter, second quarter 2015 net income attributable to AIG declined primarily due to higher loss on extinguishment of debt from ongoing liability management activities, lower capital gains from sales of investments, and a net gain on the sale of divested businesses related to the sale of International Lease Finance Corporation in the second quarter of 2014.

After-tax operating income was $1.9 billion, or $1.39 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2015, compared to $1.8 billion, or $1.23 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Compared to the prior-year quarter, operating results in the second quarter of 2015 reflected higher pre-tax operating earnings of AerCap Holdings N.V. (AerCap) and the fair value of PICC Property & Casualty Company Limited (PICC P&C) and People’s Insurance Company (Group) of China Limited (PICC Group) investments, partially offset by a decrease in income from insurance operations.

“Our second quarter results demonstrate our steadfast commitment to value-based management – we’re taking action today to create long-term value for tomorrow,” said Peter D. Hancock, AIG President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to proactively manage our capital resources through both common stock and debt repurchases. We significantly reduced our non-core investments in both AerCap and Springleaf. These actions simplify our balance sheet and improve our risk profile. Our Board’s approval of an additional $5.0 billion share repurchase authorization, and a 124 percent increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.28 per share, highlights our commitment to shareholder return and our positive outlook for long-term profitability.”

“We made progress towards our financial targets,” Mr. Hancock continued. “Book value per share excluding AOCI and DTA increased 10 percent and GOE declined 4 percent, both compared to the prior-year quarter. Normalized ROE for the quarter was 6.7 percent and year-to-date was 7.3 percent, reflecting the shifting profitability dynamics in Commercial Insurance markets. Adjusting for the impact of the AerCap sale, we expect to reach our financial ROE target.”

“Our focus on value and long-term sustainability benefits our clients and our shareholders. We’ll continue to balance growth, profitability and risk as we work to become our clients’ most valued insurer.”

COMMERCIAL INSURANCE

Pre-tax operating income decreased to $1.5 billion from $1.6 billion in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower underwriting results from Property Casualty and Mortgage Guaranty, as well as lower net investment income from Institutional Markets, partially offset by an increase in net investment income from Property Casualty.

Property Casualty’s decrease in pre-tax operating income is attributable to lower underwriting income partially offset by an increase in net investment income. The combined ratio increased 2.3 points to 98.8 in the second quarter of 2015 from the prior-year quarter. The loss ratio increased 3.1 points to 70.8, primarily due to higher net unfavorable prior year loss reserve development, and higher catastrophe losses, partially offset by a higher net loss reserve discount benefit for workers’ compensation reserves.

Catastrophe losses were $209 million compared to $121 million in the prior-year quarter. Net unfavorable prior year loss reserve development was $279 million, including return premiums of $12 million, primarily due to commercial automobile liability in U.S. Casualty, compared to net favorable prior year loss reserve development of $63 million in the prior-year quarter, which included an additional premium of $68 million. The net reserve discount benefit was $270 million compared to $16 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting an increase in the discount rate used on workers’ compensation reserves, primarily due to higher Treasury rates beginning in the first quarter of 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2014, Pennsylvania and Delaware regulators gave AIG approval to update this discount rate on a quarterly basis beginning in the first quarter of 2015.

The accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, increased slightly by 0.1 points to 66.6, reflecting higher current accident year losses in U.S. commercial automobile liability, and higher severe losses in Specialty, partially offset by an improvement in U.S. Property. The acquisition ratio decreased by 0.3 points to 15.1, reflecting lower amortization of previously deferred costs, lower premium taxes, and guaranty fund and other assessments. The general operating expense ratio decreased 0.5 points to 12.9, primarily due to efficiencies from organizational realignment initiatives and a decrease in employee incentive costs, partially offset by increased technology-related expenses.

Net premiums written decreased 4 percent compared to the prior-year quarter. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, net premiums written increased modestly compared to the prior-year quarter. New business increases in the growth-targeted products in Financial lines and Specialty, across all regions, were largely offset by declines in U.S. Casualty and Property, reflecting pricing discipline.

Mortgage Guaranty’s pre-tax operating income decreased to $157 million compared to $210 million in the prior-year quarter, due to favorable prior year loss reserve development in the first-lien business recorded in the prior-year quarter. Excluding the effects of prior-year loss reserve development, pre-tax operating income increased $19 million, or 16 percent, compared to the prior-year quarter, due primarily to the decline in accident year losses from lower delinquency rates and higher cure rates. The improvement in accident year losses reduced the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, by 9.3 points compared to the prior-year quarter. The slight increase in the acquisition ratio was due to increased expenses of sales support activities, resulting from the increase in new insurance written. The increase in the general operating expense ratio was primarily due to an increase in servicing costs related to the growth in the in-force business.

Net premiums written increased 11 percent to $277 million compared to the prior-year quarter. Domestic first-lien new insurance written of $15.2 billion in principal amount of loans insured increased 37 percent from the prior-year quarter, driven by an increase in mortgage originations primarily from refinancing activity as a result of a reduction in mortgage interest rates and improvements in existing home sales due to lower down payment requirements. New business written during the second quarter of 2015 had an average FICO score of 752 and an average loan-to-value ratio of 91 percent.

Institutional Markets pre-tax operating income of $151 million decreased by $19 million compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower yield enhancements from bond call and tender income, partially offset by higher returns on alternative investments and higher fee income, which was principally driven by growth in stable value wrap assets under management. The increases in premiums and deposits and benefits and expenses, compared to the prior-year quarter, were primarily due to a large single premium for a terminal funding annuity received in the second quarter of 2015.

CONSUMER INSURANCE

Consumer Insurance pre-tax operating income decreased to $1.0 billion compared to $1.1 billion in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower base net investment income and mortality experience in Life that was less favorable than in the prior-year quarter. The decrease in base net investment income was driven by lower average assets primarily as a result of dividends paid to AIG Parent, and reinvestment at rates below the weighted average yield of the overall portfolio. These decreases were partially offset by strong alternative investment income performance, and higher policy and advisory fees driven by growth in separate account assets under management in Retirement.

Retirement pre-tax operating income increased to $804 million compared to $764 million in the prior-year quarter. The increase reflected higher net investment income from strong alternative investment performance compared to the prior-year quarter, as well as higher policy and advisory fees from increased separate account assets under management, principally driven by growth in variable annuities. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in base net investment income, which reflected lower average assets primarily from dividend payments to AIG Parent, and reinvestment at rates below the weighted average yield of the overall portfolio. DAC amortization was higher in Retirement Income Solutions, reflecting growth in the business and lower equity market returns compared to the prior-year quarter.

Premiums and deposits were lower in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the prior-year quarter, due to lower sales in the Fixed Annuities and Group Retirement product lines, partially offset by continued strong sales of index annuities in the Retirement Income Solutions product line, and improved deposits in Retail Mutual Funds.

Life pre-tax operating income decreased to $149 million compared to $215 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to mortality experience that was within pricing assumptions but less favorable compared to the prior-year quarter, partially offset by strong performance from alternative investments. Increases in other income and general operating expenses were primarily related to international growth, including acquisitions.

Gross life insurance in force and premiums and deposits increased 10 percent and 3 percent, respectively, compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to the December 31, 2014 acquisition of Ageas Protect Limited (now AIG Life Limited) in the United Kingdom. Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, premiums and deposits increased by 6 percent compared to the prior-year quarter, principally driven by growth in Japan and the acquisition of AIG Life Limited.

Personal Insurance pre-tax operating income decreased to $70 million compared to $140 million in the prior-year quarter, due to decreases in net investment income and underwriting income. The combined ratio increased by 0.9 points to 99.7, which reflected an increase in the expense ratio partially offset by a decrease in the loss ratio.

The loss ratio and accident year loss ratio, as adjusted, decreased by 0.8 points and 0.6 points to 52.7 and 52.8, respectively, compared to the prior-year quarter. Improved performance in a warranty retail program contributed to the decrease in the loss ratios, which was offset by an increase in the acquisition ratio due to a related profit sharing arrangement. Excluding the effect of this warranty retail program, the loss ratios increased due to automobile and property losses in the current quarter, partially offset by Accident and Health, which showed improvement in both loss and acquisition ratios.

The general operating expense ratio increased by 0.7 points compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher employee-related expenses and the timing of technology-related initiatives.

Excluding the effects of foreign exchange, net premiums written increased 2 percent from the prior-year quarter, reflecting growth in automobile across all regions and in property businesses primarily in the U.S. and Japan, partially offset by declines in U.S. warranty service programs.

(1) As a result of the progress of the wind-down and de-risking activities of the Direct Investment book (DIB) and the derivative portfolio of AIG Financial Products Corp. and related subsidiaries included within Global Capital Markets (GCM), AIG has discontinued separate reporting of the DIB and GCM. Their results are reported within Income from other assets, net, beginning with the first quarter of 2015. This reporting aligns with the manner in which AIG manages its financial resources. Prior periods are presented in historical format for informational purposes.

Corporate and Other pre-tax operating results improved compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to AIG’s share of AerCap’s pre-tax operating income through the date of sale of AerCap common shares in the second quarter of 2015 (accounted for under the equity method), fair value gains in investments in PICC P&C and PICC Group, lower interest expense from ongoing debt management activities and lower general operating expenses.

Run-off insurance lines reported pre-tax operating income of $110 million compared to a pre-tax operating loss in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to a higher net reserve discount benefit, reflecting the update to the discount rates used on excess workers’ compensation reserves as result of an increase in Treasury rates from the first quarter of 2015. This improvement was partially offset by an increase in net unfavorable prior year loss reserve development.

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 “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 2015 Financial Supplement available in the Investor Information section of AIG’s website, www.aig.com.

Book Value Per Share Excluding Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) and Book Value Per Share Excluding AOCI and Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) 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 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 securities portfolio, foreign currency translation adjustments and U.S. tax attribute deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets represent U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits. Amounts are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. Book Value Per Share Excluding AOCI is derived by dividing Total AIG shareholders' equity, excluding AOCI, by Total common shares outstanding. Book Value Per Share Excluding AOCI and DTA is derived by dividing Total AIG shareholders' equity, excluding AOCI and DTA, by Total common shares outstanding.

Return on Equity – After-tax Operating Income Excluding AOCI and Return on Equity – After-tax Operating Income Excluding AOCI and DTA are used to show the rate of return on shareholders’ equity. AIG believes these measures are useful to investors because they eliminate the effect of non-cash items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value of available for sale securities portfolio, foreign currency translation adjustments and U.S. tax attribute deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets represent U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits. Amounts are estimates based on projections of full-year attribute utilization. Return on Equity – After-tax Operating Income Excluding AOCI is derived by dividing actual or annualized after-tax operating income attributable to AIG by average AIG shareholders’ equity, excluding average AOCI. Return on Equity – After-tax Operating Income Excluding AOCI and DTA is derived by dividing actual or annualized after-tax operating income attributable to AIG by average AIG shareholders’ equity, excluding average AOCI and DTA.

Normalized Return on Equity, Excluding AOCI and DTA further adjusts Return on Equity – After-tax Operating Income, Excluding AOCI and DTA for the effects of certain volatile or market-related items. Normalized Return on Equity, Excluding AOCI and DTA is derived by excluding the following tax adjusted effects from Return on Equity – After-tax Operating Income, Excluding AOCI and DTA: catastrophe losses compared to expectations; alternative investment returns compared to expectations; DIB/GCM returns compared to expectations; fair value changes on PICC investments; DAC unlockings; net reserve discount change; Life insurance IBNR death claim charge; and prior year loss reserve development.

AIG uses the following operating performance measures because it 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.

After-tax operating income attributable to AIG is derived by excluding the following items from net income attributable to AIG: income or loss from discontinued operations; income and loss from divested businesses (including gain on the sale of International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) and certain post-acquisition transaction expenses incurred by AerCap Holdings N.V. (AerCap) in connection with its acquisition of ILFC and the difference between expensing AerCap’s maintenance rights assets over the remaining lease term as compared to the remaining economic life of the related aircraft and related tax effects); legacy tax adjustments primarily related to certain changes in uncertain tax positions and other tax adjustments; legal reserves and settlements related to “legacy crisis matters”; deferred income tax valuation allowance releases and charges; changes in fair value of fixed maturity securities designated to hedge living benefit liabilities (net of interest expense); 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 and losses; other income and expense — net, related to Corporate and Other runoff insurance lines; loss on extinguishment of debt; net realized capital gains and losses; and non-qualifying derivative hedging activities, excluding net realized capital gains and losses. “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 as the plaintiff in connection with such legal matters. See page 14 for the reconciliation of Net income attributable to AIG to After-tax operating income attributable to AIG.

Operating revenue excludes Net realized capital gains (losses), Aircraft leasing revenues, income from legal settlements (included in Other income for GAAP purposes) and changes in fair values of fixed maturity securities designated to hedge living benefit liabilities, net of interest expense (included in Net investment income for GAAP purposes).

General operating expenses, operating basis, is derived by making the following adjustments to general operating and other expenses: include (i) 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) legal reserves related to legacy crisis matters and (v) other expense related to a retroactive reinsurance agreement. AIG uses general operating expenses, operating basis, because it believes it provides a more meaningful indication of ordinary course of business operating costs.

AIG uses the following operating performance measures within its Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance reportable segments as well as Corporate and Other.

Commercial Insurance: Property Casualty and Mortgage Guaranty; Consumer Insurance: Personal Insurance

Pre-tax operating income: includes both underwriting income and loss and net investment income, but excludes net realized capital gains and losses, other income and expense — net and legal settlements related to legacy crisis matters described above. Underwriting income and loss is derived by reducing net premiums earned by losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred, acquisition expenses and general operating expenses.

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, 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.

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. Catastrophe losses are generally weather or seismic events having a net impact in excess of $10 million each.

Commercial Insurance: Institutional Markets; Consumer Insurance: Retirement and Life

Pre-tax operating income is derived by excluding the following items from pre-tax income: 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 and losses; and changes in benefit reserves and DAC, VOBA and SIA related to net realized capital gains and losses.

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.

Corporate and Other

Pre-tax operating income and loss is derived by excluding the following items from pre-tax income and loss: certain legal reserves and settlements related to legacy crisis matters described above; loss on extinguishment of debt; net realized capital gains and losses; changes in benefit reserves and DAC, VOBA and SIA related to net realized capital gains and losses; income and loss from divested businesses, including Aircraft Leasing; and net gain or loss on sale of divested businesses (including gain on the sale of ILFC and certain post-acquisition transaction expenses incurred by AerCap in connection with its acquisition of ILFC and the difference between expensing AerCap’s maintenance rights assets over the remaining lease term as compared to the remaining economic life of the related aircraft and AIG’s share of AerCap’s income taxes).

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