OVERVIEW
AIGs first quarter 2009 net loss resulted primarily from a number of restructuring and market
disruption-related charges and accounting charges related to taxes.
Interest and amortization charges related to the FRBNY Facility were $1.5 billion pre-tax
($1.0 billion after tax).
AIG reported a $1.9 billion pre-tax ($1.2 billion after tax) charge for restructuring costs,
primarily related to the wind down of AIG Financial Products Corp., AIG Trading Group, Inc. and
their subsidiaries (collectively, AIGFP) and other.
AIG reported market disruption-related losses of $2.5 billion pre-tax ($1.6 billion after
tax). Included in market disruption-related items were partnership and mutual fund losses of $1.1
billion pre-tax ($0.7 billion after tax) and a total of $2.2 billion pre-tax ($1.4 billion after
tax) of fair value losses on the retained interests in Maiden Lane II and Maiden Lane III. AIGFP
reported a $0.5 billion pre-tax loss ($0.3 billion after tax) in unrealized market valuation losses
on the super senior credit default swap portfolio and a $1.7 billion pre-tax gain ($1.1 billion
after tax) related to AIGFPs credit valuation adjustment.
In addition, AIG recorded tax expense of $1.1 billion for tax benefits not obtained related to
losses incurred during the quarter and other discrete period tax items, of which $0.4 billion
affected the adjusted net loss.
At March 31, 2009, total equity was $53.2 billion, which included $7.4 billion of equity
attributable to noncontrolling interests under FAS 160. Consolidated assets at March 31, 2009 were
$819.8 billion.
Commenting on first quarter 2009 results, AIG Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Edward M.
Liddy said, AIGs first quarter 2009 results reflect our efforts, with the ongoing support of the
Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury, to execute on our plans which were designed to maximize the
value of our core businesses and repay U.S. taxpayers. In addition, we are making progress on
winding down AIGFP. As of March 31, 2009 its portfolio had a notional value of approximately $1.5
trillion, down from approximately $2.7 trillion at December 31, 2007.
Importantly, we are moving forward with our efforts to position our strong insurance
companies as discrete businesses, for the benefit of all stakeholders, including policyholders,
employees, and distribution partners.
In addition, since year end, we have closed a number of transactions and reached several
asset sales agreements, despite a very challenging market environment. On April 16, we announced
the sale of our U.S. personal auto business, representing our largest asset transaction to date.
Several other transactions are under discussion, and we continue to evaluate how best to assure the
continued strength and success of all of AIGs businesses.

RESTRUCTURING UPDATE
Since the announcements of March 2, 2009, AIG has taken the following actions to improve its
capital structure, execute on an orderly asset divestiture plan, protect and enhance the value of
its key businesses, and position these franchises for the future as more independently run,
transparent companies:
Execution on Improvements to AIGs Capital Structure Previously Announced:
|
|
|
The U.S. Department of the Treasury (U.S. Treasury) exchanged its shares of AIGs
Series D Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock for shares of AIGs Series E
Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, on April 17, 2009. Dividends on the
Series E Preferred Stock are payable on a non-cumulative basis. Additionally, AIG entered
into a replacement capital covenant that requires AIG to replace the Series E Preferred
Stock with qualifying equity replacement capital securities if the company repays or
redeems the Series E Preferred Stock. |
|
|
|
|
The U.S. Treasury provided AIG with a new five-year equity capital facility, which
provides access to up to $29.835 billion of available funds to AIG under the terms of the
purchase agreement for shares of Series F Fixed Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred
Stock. In connection with the establishment of this facility, AIG issued to U.S. Treasury
a warrant to purchase 3,000 shares of AIGs common stock. |
|
|
|
|
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) Credit Agreement was amended to remove the
minimum 3.5 percent LIBOR floor as of April 17, 2009. |
AIG Financial Products Corp unwind:
|
|
|
Since December 31, 2007, the notional amount on AIGFPs derivative portfolio has been
reduced by more than 40 percent from approximately $2.7 trillion at December 31, 2007 to
approximately $1.5 trillion at March 31, 2009. |
|
|
|
|
AIGFP reduced the number of trade positions in its portfolio to approximately 28,000
at March 31, 2009, down 20 percent from approximately 35,000 as of December 31, 2008. |
Completed Asset Sales:
|
|
|
AIG PhilAm Savings Bank, PhilAm Auto Financing and Leasing, and PFL Holdings to
EastWest Banking Corporation for $43 million, on March 12, 2009. |
|
|
|
|
Hartford Steam Boiler (HSB) to the Munich Re Group for $739 million, plus the
assumption of $76 million of outstanding HSB capital securities, on March 31, 2009. |
|
|
|
|
AIG Life Insurance Company of Canada to BMO Financial Group for $263 million, on April
1, 2009. |
|
|
|
|
AIG Retail Bank Public Company Limited and its credit card operation, AIG Card
(Thailand) Company Limited, in Thailand to Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited for

|
|
|
|
AIG Private Bank Ltd. (AIG Private Bank) to a subsidiary of Aabar Investments PJSC
(Aabar), a global investment company based in Abu Dhabi, for approximately $253 million
for the entire share capital of AIG Private Bank. Aabar also purchased and assumed
approximately $55 million of intra-company loans outstanding to AIG Private Bank, on April
16, 2009. |
|
|
|
|
Deutsche Versicherungs-und Rückversicherungs-Aktiengesellschaft (Darag), a German
general insurance subsidiary of AIG affiliate Württembergische und Badische
Versicherungs-AG (WüBa) in Germany, to Augur for approximately $26 million on April 24,
2009. |
3
Asset Sales Agreements:
|
|
|
On April 16, 2009, AIG announced an agreement to sell 21st Century Insurance Group, to
the Farmers Group, Inc. (FGI), a subsidiary of Zurich Financial Services. Under the terms
of the transaction, FGI will pay AIG $1.9 billion, consisting of $1.5 billion in cash and
$400 million in face amount of subordinated, euro-denominated capital notes backed by
Zurich Insurance Company, Zurichs principal operating unit. FGI will also assume 21st
Centurys outstanding debt of $100 million. |
Maximizing the Value of the Individual Businesses:
|
|
|
On April 21, 2009, AIG announced an acceleration of steps to position AIU Holdings as a
distinct brand by transferring it to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) in preparation for
the potential sale of a minority stake in the business, which ultimately may include a
public offering of shares, depending on market conditions. AIU Holdings will serve as the
holding company for AIGs Commercial Insurance, Foreign General Insurance, and Private
Client Group units. AIG also announced that it intends to purchase the equity interests
in International Lease Finance Corporation, United Guaranty Corporation, and Transatlantic
Holdings, Inc., from AIU Holdings. |
|
|
|
|
On March 2, 2009, AIG and the FRBNY announced their intent to enter into transactions
pursuant to which AIG will transfer to the FRBNY preferred equity interests in
newly-formed special purpose vehicles (SPVs). Each SPV will hold (directly or indirectly)
100 percent of the common stock of an AIG operating subsidiary (American International
Assurance Company, Limited, together with American International Assurance Company
(Bermuda) Limited (AIA) in one case and American Life Insurance Company (ALICO) in the
other). In exchange for the preferred equity interests received by the FRBNY, there would
be a concurrent reduction in the outstanding balance of the FRBNY Facility and the maximum
amount available to be borrowed thereunder, subject to the $25 billion minimum noted
below. |
|
|
|
|
On March 2, 2009, AIG and the FRBNY announced their intent to enter into a transaction
pursuant to which AIG will issue to the FRBNY senior certificates in one or more
newly-formed SPVs backed by in-force blocks of life insurance policies in settlement of a
portion of the outstanding balance of the FRBNY Facility. The amount of the FRBNY Facility
reduction will be based on the amount of senior certificates issued to the FRBNY. |
|
|
|
|
The FRBNY has agreed in principle that, after repayment of the FRBNY Facility through
the AIA and ALICO debt for equity exchanges and the life insurance securitizations, the
commitment under the FRBNY Facility will be not less than $25 billion. |
|
|
|
|
Additionally, AIG continues to examine the feasibility of combining its Domestic Life
Insurance & Retirement Services businesses to enhance market competitiveness. Progress
has been made on designing an organizational and operational model, identifying capability
gaps and evaluating strategic and operational synergies. |

OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS RESULTS
GENERAL INSURANCE
General Insurance first quarter 2009 operating income before net realized capital gains
(losses) was $446 million, compared to $1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2008. The first
quarters results reflect $483 million in operating losses at United Guaranty Corporation (UGC) and
a decline in net investment income, primarily due to losses from partnership and mutual fund
investments.
General Insurance net premiums written were $10.0 billion in the first quarter of 2009, a 17.5
percent decline compared to the last years first quarter. Commercial Insurance reported net
premiums written during the first quarter of 2009 of $4.2 billion, an 18.3 percent decline from the
first quarter of 2008. The decline was driven by the effect of the economic downturn on
construction, real estate and transportation-related business and Commercial Insurances deliberate
strategy to remain price disciplined in workers compensation, as well as changes in the amount of
premiums ceded to reinsurers. Aside from the effect of these three items, net premiums written
declined approximately 6 percent. Net premiums written were also adversely affected by the negative
AIG publicity and the broader impact of the economy, which is decreasing ratable exposures on
renewal business and limiting new opportunities across other lines of business.
The retention of existing business was moderately lower than in the comparable prior year
period, with some de-risking among clients, although retention levels have shown improvement since
the end of the first quarter of 2009. Overall, rates in Commercial Insurance were essentially flat
in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008. The stabilization of rates is
an improvement from the fourth quarter of 2008 and reflects the current market conditions.
Foreign General net premiums written in the first quarter of 2009 were $3.6 billion, a 10.3
percent decline in original currency, or 18.1 percent including the effect of foreign exchange.
Excluding the effect of Unibanco, which was sold in November 2008, Foreign General net premiums
written in the first quarter of 2009 declined by 4.5 percent for continuing operations in original
currency, or a 12.8 percent decline including the negative impact of foreign exchange.
In Foreign Generals commercial business, renewal retention was solid while rates showed
continued improvement, offset by reductions in insureds values, payrolls, sales and inventories.
There was also expected de-risking among commercial customers to further diversify their portfolios
as well as a slight reduction in new business production. In particular, Foreign Generals
European operations delivered strong client retention results during their critical January 1
renewal period.
AIG Private Client Group reported first quarter 2009 net premiums written of $210 million, a
decrease of 2.3 percent compared to first quarter of 2008.
At March 31, 2009, General Insurance net loss and loss adjustment reserves totaled $72.3
billion, a decline of $201 million from December 31, 2008. The foreign exchange effect for the
first quarter of 2009 was a reduction of reserves of $290 million. Reserves were also reduced by
$287 million due to dispositions. For the first quarter of 2009, net adverse loss development from
prior accident years, excluding accretion of loss reserve discount, was $64 million. The overall
adverse development consisted of approximately $131 million of favorable development from accident
years 2003 through 2008, offset by approximately $195 million of adverse development from earlier
accident years.
5
LIFE INSURANCE & RETIREMENT SERVICES
Life Insurance & Retirement Services first quarter 2009 operating income before net realized
capital gains (losses) was $1.2 billion reflecting a continued difficult operating environment.
The first quarter results included deferred acquisition cost (DAC) unlocking and related reserve
strengthening charges of $558 million in Domestic Retirement Services. Additionally, results were
affected by lower assets under management in the retirement services businesses both in the U.S.
and overseas. Net investment income was affected by losses on partnership investments, lower yield
enhancements and overall lower investment margins from balance sheet de-risking activities and
higher short-term liquidity, as well as $235 million of fair value losses on the retained economic
interest in Maiden Lane II held primarily by Domestic Life Insurance & Retirement Services. These
decreases were partially offset by higher DAC benefits related to net realized capital losses.
Premiums and other considerations declined 10.5 percent, to $8.3 billion in the first quarter
of 2009. Premiums, deposits and other considerations amounted to $14.5 billion, a decline of 43.3
percent compared to the first quarter of 2008. Sales of investment-oriented life and retirement
services products remained challenged due to the general decline in global equity markets during
most of the first quarter and negative AIG publicity.
In AIGs Foreign Life & Retirement Services operations, sales activity has stabilized in most
regions, though sales and surrender activity in foreign investment-oriented life and retirement
products, especially in Japan and Korea, remain affected due to equity market performance.
Domestic Retirement Services new business has slowed principally due to several distribution
partners and plan sponsors suspending or de-emphasizing sales of AIG products pending clarification
of the future ownership of these businesses. Similarly, the sales outlook in Domestic Life
Insurance continues to remain challenging due to the current economic environment, current ratings
and the negative press surrounding AIG.
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Financial Services reported a $1.1 billion operating loss before net realized capital gains
(losses) and the effect of FAS 133 in the first quarter of 2009, compared to an $8.5 billion
operating loss in the first quarter of 2008.
AIGFP, which is in the process of winding down its businesses and portfolios, reported a $1.1
billion operating loss in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $8.9 billion in the first quarter
of 2008. The first quarter 2009 operating loss included a $452 million in unrealized market
valuation losses on its super senior credit default swap portfolio, $933 million of interest
charges on intercompany borrowings with AIG that are eliminated in consolidation, and the effect on
operating results related to the continued unwinding of the AIGFP business. These items were
partially offset by a $1.7 billion favorable credit valuation adjustment.
International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) reported a 16.2 percent increase in operating
income to $316 million, compared to $272 million in the first quarter of 2008, driven primarily by
a larger aircraft fleet and lower composite borrowing rates compared to the first quarter of 2008.
American General Finance, Inc. (AGF) reported a first quarter 2009 operating loss of $203
million compared to operating income of $11 million in the first quarter of 2008, primarily due to
a $186 million increase in the provision for finance receivable losses in response to higher levels
of delinquencies and net charge offs. In addition, AGF reported declines in finance charges and
other revenues, partially offset by improvements in operating and interest expense.
6
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Asset Management reported a first quarter 2009 operating loss before net realized capital
gains (losses) of $481 million, compared to a $154 million operating profit in the first quarter of
2008. The quarters results reflect significant valuation adjustments of certain real estate
investments, lower partnership income and lower net carried interest revenues in private equity and
real estate.
OTHER OPERATIONS
The first quarter 2009 operating loss from Other Operations, before net realized capital gains
(losses) and consolidation and elimination adjustments, was $3.1 billion compared to a $503 million
loss in the first quarter of 2008. These results include $1.5 billion of interest expense and
amortization related to borrowings under the FRBNY Facility and $1.9 billion of fair value losses
on the retained equity interest in Maiden Lane III.

It should be noted that information contained in this press release or remarks made on the
conference call may include projections and statements which may constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
projections and statements are not historical facts but instead represent only AIGs belief
regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside AIGs
control. These projections and statements may address, among other things, the outcome of the
proposed and completed transactions with the FRBNY and the U.S. Treasury, the number, size, terms,
cost and timing of dispositions and their potential effect on AIGs businesses, financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity (and AIG at any time and from time to
time may change its plans with respect to the sale of one or more businesses), AIGs exposures to
subprime mortgages, monoline insurers and the residential and commercial real estate markets and
AIGs strategy for growth, product development, market position, financial results and reserves.
It is possible that AIGs actual results and financial condition will differ, possibly materially,
from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these projections and statements.
Factors that could cause AIGs actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those in the
specific projections and statements include a failure of the completed transactions with the
Department of the Treasury to achieve their desired objectives or a failure to complete the
proposed transactions with the FRBNY, developments in global credit markets and such other factors
as discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of AIGs Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008 and in Part I, Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in AIGs Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009. AIG is not under any obligation (and expressly
disclaims any obligation) to update or alter any projection or other statement, whether written or
oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.

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 are shown exclusive of market
disruption items, tax benefits not obtained for losses incurred, the effect of dispositions,
interest and amortization related to the FRBNY Facility, restructuring-related activities,
realized capital gains (losses), the effect of FIN 46(R), the effect of FAS 133, the effect of
goodwill impairments, tax valuation allowances, credit valuations adjustments, securities lending
transactions deemed sales and the effect of catastrophe-related losses.
AIG excludes 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 tax valuation allowances, credit valuations
adjustments, and securities lending transactions deemed sales, 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 net 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.
9
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.
