AIG REPORTS FULL YEAR AND
FOURTH QUARTER 2007 RESULTS
NEW YORK, NY, February 28, 2008 American International Group, Inc. (AIG) today reported that
its net income for full year 2007 was $6.20 billion or $2.39 per diluted share, compared to $14.05
billion or $5.36 per diluted share for full year 2006. 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 2007
adjusted net income, as shown below, was $9.31 billion or $3.58 per diluted share, compared to
$15.41 billion or $5.88 per diluted share for full year 2006.
The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $5.29 billion or $2.08 per diluted share,
compared to net income of $3.44 billion or $1.31 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2006.
The adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $3.20 billion or $1.25 per diluted share,
compared to adjusted net income of $3.85 billion or $1.47 per diluted share for the fourth quarter
of 2006.
Included in both the full year and fourth quarter 2007 net income (loss) and adjusted net
income (loss) were charges of approximately $11.47 billion pretax ($7.46 billion after tax) and
$11.12 billion pretax ($7.23 billion after tax), respectively, for a net unrealized market
valuation loss related to the AIG Financial Products Corp. (AIGFP) super senior credit default swap
portfolio. AIG continues to believe that the unrealized market valuation losses on this super
senior credit default swap portfolio are not indicative of the losses AIGFP may realize over time.
Under the terms of these credit derivatives, losses to AIG would result from the credit impairment
of any bonds AIG would acquire in satisfying its swap obligations. Based upon its most current
analyses, AIG believes that any credit impairment losses realized over time by AIGFP will not be
material to AIGs consolidated financial condition, although it is possible that realized losses
could be material to AIGs consolidated results of operations for an individual reporting period.
Except to the extent of any such realized credit impairment losses, AIG expects AIGFPs unrealized
market valuation losses to reverse over the remaining life of the super senior credit default swap
portfolio.
Fourth quarter 2007 results included pretax net realized capital losses of $2.63 billion
($1.71 billion after tax) primarily from other-than-temporary impairment charges in AIGs
investment portfolio, with an additional $643 million pretax other-than-temporary impairment charge
($418 million after tax) related to AIGFPs available for sale investment securities. This
compares to pretax net realized capital gains of $238 million ($121 million after tax) in the
fourth quarter of 2006. The 2007 other-than-temporary impairment charges resulted primarily from
the significant, rapid declines in market values of certain residential mortgage backed securities
in the fourth quarter for which AIG cannot reasonably determine that the recovery period will be
temporary.

2
At December 31, 2007, AIGs consolidated assets were $1.061 trillion and shareholders equity
was $95.80 billion. Shareholders equity declined from September 30, 2007 due to the fourth
quarter 2007 net loss and an additional $2.54 billion in after-tax unrealized depreciation of
investments reported in other comprehensive income. Book value per share at December 31, 2007 was
$37.87, including a reduction of $0.36 per share related to payments of $912 million advanced to
repurchase shares. A significant portion of the decrease in shareholders equity during 2007 was
the result of share purchases, substantially all of which were funded from the issuance of hybrid
debt securities. These transactions replaced high cost common stock with cost efficient hybrid
securities, a substantial portion of which is treated as equity capital by the rating agencies.
During the fourth quarter of 2007, AIG repurchased 21,257,364 shares of its common stock,
bringing the total to 76,361,209 shares repurchased for full year 2007. An additional 12,196,187
shares were purchased through February 15, 2008, for a total of 88,557,396 shares purchased since
March 2007. AIG does not expect to purchase additional shares for the foreseeable future, other
than to meet commitments that existed at December 31, 2007.
Commenting on full year and fourth quarter 2007 results, AIG President and Chief Executive
Officer Martin J. Sullivan said, AIGs results in 2007 were clearly unsatisfactory. This was a
challenging year in which the deterioration of both the U.S. residential mortgage and credit
markets significantly affected several of our operations and investments. Following record
performance through the first six months of 2007, AIG experienced deteriorating results in its
Mortgage Guaranty and Consumer Finance businesses, unrealized market valuation losses related to
the AIGFP super senior credit default swap portfolio, and increased markdowns and impairments in
our investment portfolios in the second half of the year, primarily in the fourth quarter.
Despite our reported results, a number of areas within AIGs diversified portfolio of global
businesses performed well in the quarter. The underwriting results of the Domestic Brokerage Group
and Foreign General were excellent. Aircraft Leasing and Institutional Asset Management reported
strong operating income growth. The underlying performance of our Life Insurance & Retirement
Services businesses provided further evidence that our continued focus on multiple distribution
initiatives to capitalize on our broad product portfolio is gaining traction. Operating income
growth in this segment, however, was affected by unusual items in 2007 and 2006, as well as by
market volatility.
During 2008, we expect the U.S. housing market to remain weak and credit market uncertainty
will likely persist. Continuing market deterioration would cause AIG to report additional
unrealized market valuation losses and impairment charges. However, with a diverse portfolio of
global businesses, a strong capital base and outstanding talent, AIG has the ability to absorb the
current volatility while committing the resources to grow and take advantage of opportunities. We
continue to invest in improvements in internal controls, processes, systems and overall
effectiveness and will continue to assign the highest priority to
remediation efforts over our material weakness in internal control
and oversight over the fair value valuation of AIGFPs super
senior credit default swap portfolio. At the same time, we are looking to better leverage our significant scale, promote
efficiency and improve margins. We are confident AIG is pursuing the right strategies, and has the
global franchise and financial strength to meet our performance goals and build long-term
shareholder value.

GENERAL INSURANCE
General Insurance fourth quarter 2007 operating income before net realized capital gains
(losses) declined 15.8 percent to $2.11 billion compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. Improved
underwriting results in the Domestic Brokerage Group and Foreign General were offset by a $348
million operating loss in Mortgage Guaranty and a $184 million operating loss in Personal Lines.
Included within these results are $175 million in losses and reinstatement premiums related to the
fourth quarter 2007 California wildfires. Fourth quarter 2007 General Insurance net investment
income declined 2.9 percent on lower partnership and other investment income compared to the fourth
quarter of 2006.
Domestic Brokerage Group (DBG) fourth quarter 2007 operating income was $1.66 billion, an
increase of 14.1 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. Improved underwriting results
reflect favorable loss trends in recent accident years across most lines of business. The fourth
quarter 2007 combined ratio was 89.72 compared to 91.71 in the fourth quarter of 2006. Fourth
quarter 2007 net premiums written declined 4.3 percent to $5.65 billion compared to the fourth
quarter of 2006, primarily due to rate declines in property and most casualty lines, partially
offset by premium growth in risk management, environmental and accident & health.
Personal Lines reported a $184 million operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared
to operating income of $79 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The decline in operating income
was due to losses and reinstatement premiums related to the California wildfires, unfavorable loss
reserve development in prior accident years, primarily in agency auto, an increase in the current
accident year loss ratio and transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition of the
minority interest in 21st Century Insurance Group. Strong Private Client Group premium
growth was offset by declines in the direct and agency auto segments.
United Guaranty Corporation (UGC) reported an operating loss of $348 million in the fourth
quarter of 2007, compared to operating income of $27 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Continued deterioration in the U.S. housing market adversely affected losses incurred in both the
domestic first- and second-lien businesses. Fourth quarter 2007 net premiums written increased
23.8 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. Strong growth in international premiums was
enhanced by UGCs entry into the Canadian market in the first quarter of 2007.
Foreign General fourth quarter 2007 operating income increased 2.2 percent to $805 million
compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. Improved underwriting results were partially offset by a
22.5 percent decline in net investment income, principally the result of lower partnership income
compared to strong fourth quarter 2006 returns. The fourth quarter 2007 combined ratio increased
to 89.56 from 87.74 in the fourth quarter of 2006, primarily due to increases in the expense ratio,
which included costs for realigning certain entities, principally in the U.K. Net premiums written
increased 5.8 percent in original currency compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, as primary and
excess casualty lines in the corporate sector and accident & health in multiple regions contributed
to the increase.
4
At December 31, 2007, General Insurance net loss and loss adjustment reserves totaled $69.29
billion, a $6.66 billion increase from December 31, 2006 and a $2.35 billion increase from
September 30, 2007. This includes $317 million in reserves related to the fourth quarter 2007
acquisition of WüBa. For full year 2007, net loss development from prior accident years, excluding
accretion of discount, was favorable by approximately $656 million. The overall favorable
development in 2007 consisted of approximately $2.12 billion of favorable development from accident
years 2004 through 2006, partially offset by approximately $1.47 billion of adverse development
from earlier accident years. Fourth quarter 2007 net loss development from prior accident years,
excluding accretion of discount, was favorable by approximately $51 million. The overall favorable
development consisted of approximately $603 million of favorable development from accident years
2004 through 2006, partially offset by $552 million in adverse development from earlier accident
years.
LIFE INSURANCE & RETIREMENT SERVICES
Life Insurance & Retirement Services fourth quarter 2007 operating income before net realized
capital gains (losses) increased 9.2 percent to $2.66 billion.
Fourth quarter 2007 Domestic Life Insurance operating income was $348 million compared to $80
million in the fourth quarter of 2006, reflecting growth in both life insurance in-force and payout
annuity reserves, as well as a favorable comparison in unusual items. The increase in fourth
quarter 2007 retail periodic premium sales of life insurance reflects the improvement in universal
life sales following re-pricing and underwriting enhancements as well as continued growth from new
indexed universal life products. Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2007 included expenses
associated with SOP 05-1, while fourth quarter 2006 operating income included charges principally
for the Superior National arbitration ruling and exiting the financial institutions credit life
business.
Fourth quarter 2007 Domestic Retirement Services operating income declined 6.3 percent to $679
million compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. Fourth quarter 2007 operating income in this
segment was affected by changes in actuarial estimates, including deferred acquisition cost (DAC)
unlockings and refinements to estimates resulting from actuarial valuation system enhancements and
lower aggregate net investment income, offset by lower DAC amortization due to the effect of
realized capital losses resulting from other-than-temporary impairments. In group retirement
products, the increase in fourth quarter deposits combined with a decrease in surrenders resulted
in an increase in net flows from the fourth quarter of 2006. Individual fixed annuity deposits
declined compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, but increased sequentially as a result of
favorable fourth quarter 2007 changes in the yield curve. Individual fixed annuity surrenders in
the fourth quarter of 2007 increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2006 due both to an
increasing number of policies coming out of their surrender charge period and competition from bank
deposit products.
Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operating income was $1.63 billion in the fourth
quarter of 2007, essentially flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, due to an unfavorable
comparison in unusual items compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. The quarters underlying
results, however, reflect strong life insurance production, higher annuity and investment-linked
product assets under management and increased net investment income from partnerships, unit
investment trusts and other investments and favorable foreign exchange translation.
5
Fourth quarter 2007 premiums and other considerations in foreign life insurance, personal
accident & health and group products experienced double digit increases compared to the fourth
quarter of 2006. Personal accident growth in Europe and Korea was partially offset by lower growth
in Japan, particularly in the direct marketing distribution channel. Group products reported
increased sales and renewals in credit, life and pension products in multiple regions. The shift
to investment-oriented products continues with strong growth in single premium sales and first-year
premiums in Asia and Europe, offset by first-year premium decreases in Japans life and personal
accident & health businesses.
Individual fixed annuity deposits in Japan declined compared to the fourth quarter of 2006,
though the strengthening of the yen in the fourth quarter of 2007 helped increase sales
sequentially. Individual variable annuity production in Japan improved as products with guaranteed
living benefit features gained acceptance. Fourth quarter 2007 individual fixed annuity operating
income benefited from lower DAC amortization due to the effect of realized
capital losses resulting from other-than-temporary impairments.
Fourth quarter 2007 Foreign Life Insurance & Retirement Services operating income was affected
by a favorable change in actuarial estimates, trading account losses related to certain U.K.
variable annuity products, an increase in incurred policyholder benefits related to a closed block
of Japanese business with guaranteed benefits, and the adverse effect of SOP 05-1. Fourth quarter
2006 operating income included favorable net out of period adjustments related to remediation
activities.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
In the fourth quarter of 2007, Financial Services reported a $10.25 billion operating loss,
before net realized capital gains (losses), an other-than-temporary impairment charge on AIGFPs
available for sale investment securities and the effect of economically effective hedging
activities that did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133, compared to operating
income of $635 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Fourth Quarter 2007 Aircraft Leasing operating income was $248 million, a 51.2 percent
increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. These excellent results reflect revenue growth
from ILFCs larger aircraft fleet, higher lease rates and utilization, moderate increases in
interest and depreciation expenses and lower income from aircraft sales compared to the fourth
quarter of 2006.
Capital Markets reported a $10.49 billion operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2007,
primarily due to $11.12 billion of unrealized market valuation losses related to AIGFPs super
senior credit default swap portfolio. AIGFP experienced increased transaction flow in its rate and
currency products compared to the fourth quarter of 2006.
American General Finance, Inc. (AGF) reported operating income of $9 million in the fourth
quarter of 2007 compared to $157 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. AGF experienced a sharp
decline in origination volume and higher warranty reserves in its mortgage banking operation as
well as an increase in the allowance for loan losses, more than offsetting an increase in revenues
from finance receivables. While fourth quarter 2007 real estate charge-off and delinquency ratios
increased due to the maturation of the receivables and market conditions, these measures remained
below AGFs target ranges.
AIG Consumer Finance Group, Inc. reported a fourth quarter 2007 operating loss of $18 million
compared to operating income of $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Revenue growth from
higher receivable balances was more than offset by higher expenses associated with branch expansion
and product promotion, especially in Poland, Mexico and Argentina.
6
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Asset Management fourth quarter 2007 operating income before net realized capital gains
(losses) was $458 million, an 11.8 percent decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2006. The
decrease in operating income was primarily due to the continued run off of the Guaranteed
Investment Contract (GIC) business and lower partnership income compared to the fourth quarter of
2006 in the GIC and Other asset management lines. Institutional Asset Management operating income
increased 75.4 percent due to higher income from gains on real estate sales, increased carried
interest and increased fees associated with the growth in client assets under management. These
items were partially offset by expenses related to expansion of marketing and distribution
capabilities and infrastructure enhancements.
OTHER OPERATIONS
Fourth quarter 2007 operating loss from Other Operations, before net realized capital gains
(losses) and consolidation and elimination adjustments, was $400 million compared to a $414 million
loss in the fourth quarter of 2006. These results reflect higher interest expense resulting from
increased parent company borrowings offset by lower unallocated corporate expenses.

Comment on Regulation G
This press release, including the financial highlights, includes certain non-GAAP financial
measures. The reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP figures in accordance
with Regulation G are included within the relevant tables or in the Fourth Quarter 2007 Financial
Supplement available in the Investor Information section of AIGs corporate website,
www.aigcorporate.com.
Throughout this press release, AIG presents its operations in the way it believes will be most
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 FIN 46(R), the effect of EITF 04-5, the effect of FAS 133 and the effect of
catastrophe-related losses.
AIG excludes the effects of the 2006 accounting change, FIN 46(R) and EITF 04-5, and the
effect of hedging activities that did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133,
although they are economically effective hedges, because AIG believes that excluding these items
permits investors to better assess the performance of the underlying businesses. AIG believes that
providing information in a non-GAAP manner is more useful to investors and analysts. Likewise, AIG
excludes certain entities consolidated pursuant to FIN 46(R) or EITF 04-5, including certain AIG
managed partnerships, private equity and real estate funds, where AIG does not in fact have the
economic interest that is presumed to be held by consolidation, because AIG believes this
presentation is more meaningful than the GAAP presentation.
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. 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.
8
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.
