AIG REPORTS FULL YEAR AND
FOURTH QUARTER 2006 RESULTS
NEW YORK, NY, March 1, 2007 American International Group, Inc. (AIG) reported net income for the
full year 2006 of $14.05 billion or $5.36 per diluted share, compared to $10.48 billion or $3.99
per diluted share for the full year 2005. Net income, as reported, includes the effect of
economically effective hedging activities that did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under
FAS 133, including the related foreign exchange gains and losses. Full year 2006 adjusted net
income, as defined below, was $15.41 billion or $5.88 per diluted share, compared to $8.75 billion
or $3.33 per diluted share for the full year of 2005.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $3.44 billion or $1.31 per diluted share
compared to $444 million or $0.17 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2005. Fourth quarter
2006 adjusted net income was $3.85 billion or $1.47 per diluted share, compared to $376 million or
$0.14 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2005.
Fourth quarter 2006 results were negatively affected by charges for the adverse ruling in the
Superior National arbitration and the exit of the domestic financial institutions credit life
business, which collectively decreased net income by $124 million or $0.05 per diluted share.
Fourth quarter 2006 results also included a $129 million or $0.05 per diluted share charge related
to an increase in asbestos and environmental reserves resulting from the updated ground up analysis
of these exposures. In addition, AIG recorded fourth quarter 2006 out of period adjustments that
collectively increased net income by $56 million or $0.02 per diluted share. The out of period
adjustments are further detailed in the AIG Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Full year and fourth quarter 2005 results included a $1.15 billion or $0.44 per diluted share
after-tax charge resulting from regulatory settlements and a $1.19 billion or $0.45 per diluted
share after-tax charge related to an increase of approximately $1.82 billion to AIGs net reserve
for losses and loss expenses. Additionally, full year and fourth quarter 2005 results include
catastrophe-related losses, net of tax of $2.11 billion or $0.80 per diluted share and $540 million
or $0.20 per diluted share, respectively.

At December 31, 2006, AIGs consolidated assets were $979.41 billion and shareholders equity
was $101.68 billion. Book value per share increased 17.6 percent to $39.09 from $33.24 a year ago.
Commenting on full year and fourth quarter 2006 results, AIG President and CEO Martin J.
Sullivan said, 2006 was a remarkable year beginning with the resolution of our significant
regulatory challenges and ending with excellent financial results. This performance reflects AIGs
attractive worldwide market positions and the growth and diversification across our major
businesses. We also made significant progress throughout the year in improving our financial
control environment, providing greater transparency in our financial disclosures and remaining on
the forefront of good corporate governance. In addition, we advanced our economic capital modeling
initiative which will help us optimize our capital management strategies. By coupling the
competitive advantages of our diverse, global operations with our strategies for capital
management, we expect to create additional opportunities to grow at attractive rates of return and,
ultimately, drive greater shareholder returns.
AIG reported solid increases in income in 2006. Results for the year and the fourth quarter
were led by our worldwide General Insurance businesses and improved performance in Foreign Life
Insurance. This overall performance reflects AIGs ability to quickly address the challenging
market conditions a number of our businesses encountered throughout the year, meet the evolving
needs of a diverse global client base, capitalize on new market and product opportunities and
exercise the leadership for which AIG has long been known.
In the fourth quarter, General Insurance generated strong growth in operating income,
reflecting excellent underwriting results and significant returns on partnership investments. The
Domestic Life Insurance businesses reported good underlying performance in the life insurance and
payout annuity businesses. By exiting the domestic financial institutions credit life business, we
will focus our efforts on growth opportunities in the small case employer benefits and voluntary
worksite business. In Domestic Retirement Services, the fixed annuity business continues to face a
difficult sales environment and surrender activity remains high. Foreign Life Insurance &
Retirement Services results have been improving, as our strategy to shift the product mix to
investment-linked and personal accident & health products was well executed. We still face
challenging conditions in certain markets, but we have taken action and are confident in the
long-term prospects of our global Life Insurance & Retirement Services franchise.
Financial Services results were led by robust transaction flow from the Capital Markets
operations. ILFCs modern, fuel-efficient fleet remains in high demand from airlines around the
world. Despite the slowdown in the U.S. real estate market, credit quality in the American General
Finance portfolio has held up well. Asset Management results were again adversely affected by the
runoff of the Domestic Guaranteed Investment Contract portfolio. Institutional Asset Management
results were affected by lower performance fees and real estate gains compared to the fourth
quarter of 2005. This business, however, continues to make significant strides in attracting
client assets and expanding the breadth of its product offerings.

GENERAL INSURANCE
General Insurance reported fourth quarter 2006 operating income before realized capital gains
(losses) of $2.51 billion compared to a fourth quarter 2005 loss of $1.16 billion. Fourth quarter
2005 results included $775 million in pretax current period catastrophe-related losses and net
reinstatement premiums and the $1.82 billion general insurance reserve charge. There were no
significant catastrophes in 2006. The fourth quarter 2006 combined ratio was 91.69, a 4.47 point
improvement compared to a 96.16 fourth quarter 2005 combined ratio excluding current period
catastrophe-related losses and the reserve charge. Fourth quarter 2006 General Insurance net
investment income was $1.59 billion, benefiting from strong cash flow, higher interest rates and a
substantial increase in partnership income compared to the fourth quarter of 2005.
Fourth quarter 2006 Domestic Brokerage Group (DBG) net premiums written declined 2.7 percent
to $5.89 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Net premiums written in the fourth
quarter of 2005 included approximately $300 million for the Richmond commutation from Foreign
General and $147 million related to an accrual for workers compensation premiums. The combined
effect of these items reduced the fourth quarter 2006 growth rate in net premiums written by 7.7
percent. DBG experienced premium growth in many lines of business, including commercial property,
primary casualty, accident & health, environmental and multinational liability, as well as in
Hartford Steam Boilers boiler and machinery coverages.
Personal Lines net premiums written increased slightly compared to the fourth quarter of 2005,
as strong growth in the Private Client Group and an increase in new business policies in the direct
auto business was partially offset by a decline in the Agency Auto business.
Mortgage Guaranty operating income declined primarily as a result of unfavorable loss
experience on third party originated second-lien business with lower than usual credit quality
combined with the effect of the softening of the U.S. housing market. The writing of this
second-lien product business was discontinued as of year end 2006.
Fourth quarter 2006 Foreign General net premiums written increased 32.5 percent to $2.59
billion compared to $1.96 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005, with strong growth in personal and
commercial lines driven by new business from new and existing distribution channels. Net premiums
written for the fourth quarter of 2005 were reduced by approximately $300 million related to the
previously mentioned Richmond commutation to DBG. This item increased the fourth quarter 2006
growth rate in net premiums written by 17.6 percent. Premium growth was driven by increases in
personal property, auto and warranty lines as well as in primary casualty and financial lines.
4
At December 31, 2006, General Insurance net loss and loss adjustment reserves totaled $62.63
billion, a $5.15 billion increase from December 31, 2005 and a $1.12 billion increase from
September 30, 2006. For the full year 2006, net loss development from prior accident years,
excluding accretion of discount, was favorable by approximately $53 million. This includes a fourth
quarter 2006 increase of approximately $198 million in asbestos and environmental reserves. The
overall favorable development in 2006 consisted of approximately $2.30 billion of favorable
development from accident years 2003 through 2005, partially offset by approximately $2.25 billion
of adverse development from accident years 2002 and prior. Fourth quarter 2006 net loss
development from prior accident years, excluding accretion of discount and including the increase
in asbestos and environmental reserves, was adverse by approximately $202 million. The overall
adverse development in the quarter followed the accident year experience pattern of the full year.
LIFE INSURANCE & RETIREMENT SERVICES
Life Insurance & Retirement Services fourth quarter 2006 operating income before realized
capital gains (losses) increased 6.5 percent to $2.40 billion, with Domestic Life Insurance &
Retirement Services declining 23.7 percent and Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services
increasing 32.9 percent when compared to the fourth quarter of 2005.
Domestic Life Insurance results declined, principally as a result of two significant
transactions in the fourth quarter of 2006 affecting the group life/health business; a $125 million
charge for the adverse Superior National arbitration ruling and a $66 million loss related to
exiting the financial institutions credit life business. Additionally, fourth quarter 2006 results
were affected by a change in certain life insurance and payout annuity reserve calculations and
assumptions, and a litigation accrual. In the fourth quarter of 2006, Domestic Life Insurance
experienced increased net investment income, driven by partnership income, and overall growth in
the in-force block of business, primarily from the individual life insurance and payout annuity
lines. Fourth quarter 2006 retail periodic premium sales of life insurance decreased compared to
the fourth quarter of 2005 as universal life sales declined following pricing and underwriting
actions taken to limit investor owned life insurance sales. Similar actions with retail single
premium immediate annuities contributed to the decline in payout annuity premiums.
In Domestic Retirement Services, fourth quarter 2006 individual fixed annuities operating
income increased on higher partnership income, partially offset by higher amortization of deferred
acquisition costs (DAC). In the fourth quarter of 2005, DAC amortization was reduced as a result
of higher realized capital losses. While interest crediting rate adjustments and distribution
initiatives helped fixed annuity deposits increase during the fourth quarter, the sales environment
remains very challenging. Fourth quarter 2006 surrender rates increased compared to the prior year
and are expected to continue at a relatively high level due to the shape of the interest rate curve
and age of the in-force reserves. Group retirement products operating income increased largely due
to higher partnership income. Deposits were positive, primarily due to a 21.6 percent increase in
mutual fund deposits compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Net flows were down
5
compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 due to large case group surrenders. However, surrender
rates for the full year were consistent with 2005. Individual variable annuities fourth quarter
2006 operating income declined compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, as higher fee income on
assets under management was offset primarily by higher DAC amortization as a result of higher
realized capital losses in the fourth quarter of 2005. Variable annuity deposits increased 19.7
percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, while net flows were slightly negative.
Fourth quarter 2006 Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operating income benefited
from an out of period reduction in participating policyholder dividend reserves of $129 million,
primarily as a result of tax remediation adjustments and a correction to expense allocations
between participating and non-participating policyholder accounts.
Fourth quarter 2005 results included a $137 million charge related to the settlement of a
long-disputed tax deduction in Singapore. Foreign Life Insurance results were strong across most
regions and product lines. Excluding these items, Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services
fourth quarter 2006 operating income increased 9.7 percent. Single premium life insurance sales
experienced strong growth compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. First year premiums for life
insurance and personal accident & health also experienced strong growth, with the exception of
Japan. Personal accident & health results in Japan reflect lower sales and higher terminations of
certain corporate products affected by a previously disclosed tax law change and increased
competition in the individual health market.
Fixed annuity production in Japan and Korea declined in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to
the fourth quarter of 2005, affected by the yield curve and competing bank products as well as the
continued weak yen. Variable annuity production in Japan declined compared to the fourth quarter
of 2005 as a result of increased demand for competitive living benefit features along with equity
market volatility in 2006. New fixed and variable annuity product features for the Japan and Korea
markets are planned for the first half of 2007, as are initiatives to broaden bank and other
distribution channels in Japan, Korea and certain markets in Asia and Europe.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Fourth quarter 2006 Financial Services operating income before the effect of economically
effective hedge activities that did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133 was
$638 million, an increase of 22.9 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2005.
ILFC operating income in the fourth quarter of 2006 increased 13.9 percent, largely the result
of increased lease revenues and aircraft sales, partially offset by an increase in interest expense
compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Since hedge accounting under FAS 133 was not applied,
ILFCs interest expense did not reflect the benefit of hedging its interest rate and foreign
currency risks on its debt.
6
Capital Markets operating income in the fourth quarter of 2006 increased significantly as
results were, in part, driven by increased transaction flow for structured credit products, coupled
with favorable demand generally across the full range of its product areas. Fourth quarter 2006
results benefited from the realization of gains on a number of transactions originated in prior
years that matured or were sold in the quarter. Fourth quarter 2005 results were adversely
affected by the reduction of Capital Markets investor-based structured notes business due to AIGs
inability to fully access the capital markets during 2005.
Fourth Quarter 2006 Consumer Finance operating income declined 26.4 percent to $167 million
compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. American General Finance (AGF) experienced slower
production in its real estate lending products and margin compression compared to the prior year,
partially offset by growth in non-real estate consumer finance products. However, credit quality
throughout 2006 remained stable and higher margin non-real estate and retail sales finance
receivables increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. Higher revenues from the foreign
consumer finance operations were offset by increased expenses related to product and branch
expansion.
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Asset Management operating income in the fourth quarter of 2006, before the effect of
FIN46(R), EITF 04-5 and FAS 133, declined 12.9 percent to $545 million compared to the fourth
quarter of 2005. In the fourth quarter of 2006, the continued runoff of GIC balances were
partially offset by an increase in partnership income. The increase in Institutional Asset
Management client assets under management and the associated fee revenues were offset by lower
performance-based fees on private equity investments and lower realized capital gains from real
estate investments, as well as increased expenses related to the expansion of marketing and
distribution capabilities compared to the fourth quarter of 2005.
OTHER OPERATIONS
Fourth Quarter 2006 operating income from Other Operations, including other realized capital
gains (losses), amounted to a loss of $456 million compared to a loss of $2.09 billion in the
fourth quarter of 2005, which was primarily the result of $1.64 billion in regulatory settlement
charges. These results reflect increased interest expense, realized capital losses and unallocated
corporate expenses, partially offset by increased equity earnings in unconsolidated subsidiaries.

meaningful and useful, as well as most transparent, to the investing public and others who use
AIGs financial information in evaluating the performance of AIG. That presentation includes the
use of certain non-GAAP measures. In addition to the GAAP presentations, in some cases, revenues,
net income, operating income and related rates of performance, and out of period adjustments are
shown exclusive of realized capital gains (losses), cumulative effect of an accounting change in
2006, the effect of FIN46(R), the effect of EITF 04-5, the effect of FAS 133 and the effect of the
catastrophe-related losses, settlement charges and the general insurance reserve charge.
AIG excludes the effects of FIN 46(R), EITF 04-5 and FAS 133 because AIG believes that
excluding these items permits investors to better assess the performance of the underlying
businesses. For example, AIGs derivatives are economically effective hedges, even though they did
not qualify for hedge accounting. Likewise, AIG believes that a presentation excluding entities
consolidated pursuant to FIN 46(R) or EITF 04-5 is more meaningful than the GAAP presentation where
AIG does not in fact have the economic interest that is presumed to be held.
AIG excludes catastrophe related losses in order to permit investors to better assess the
performance of the underlying underwriting business.
Although the investment of premiums to generate investment income (or loss) and realized
capital gains or losses is an integral part of both life and general insurance operations, the
determination to realize capital gains or losses is independent of the insurance underwriting
process. Moreover, under applicable GAAP accounting requirements, losses can be recorded as the
result of other than temporary declines in value without actual realization. In sum, investment
income and realized capital gains or losses for any particular period are not indicative of
underlying business performance for such period.
AIG believes that underwriting profit (loss) provides investors with financial information
that is not only meaningful but critically important to understanding the results of property and
casualty insurance operations. Operating income of a property and casualty insurance company
includes three components: underwriting profit (loss), net investment income and realized capital
gains (losses). Without disclosure of underwriting profit (loss), it is impossible to determine
how successful an insurance company is in its core business activity of assessing and underwriting
risk. Including investment income and realized capital gains (losses) in operating income without
disclosing underwriting profit (loss) can mask underwriting losses. The amount of net investment
income may be driven by changes in interest rates and other factors that are totally unrelated to
underwriting performance.
9
Underwriting profit (loss) is an important measurement used by AIG senior management to evaluate
the performance of its property and casualty insurance operations. AIG includes the measurement
required in statutory financial statements filed with state insurance departments and adjusts for
changes in deferred acquisition costs in order to make the measure more consistent with the
information provided in AIGs consolidated financial statements. Further, the equity analysts who
follow AIG exclude the realized capital transactions in their analyses for the same reason and
consistently request that AIG provide the non-GAAP information.
Life and retirement services production (premiums, deposits and other considerations), gross
premiums written, net premiums written and loss, expense and combined ratios are presented in
accordance with accounting principles prescribed or permitted by insurance regulatory authorities
because these are standard measures of performance used in the insurance industry and thus allow
for more meaningful comparisons with AIGs insurance competitors.
The effect of AIGs settlement with the United States Department of Justice, Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Office of the New York Attorney General and the New York Department of
Insurance has been excluded since it does not reflect the performance of AIGs underlying business.
