Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Comparable Period

• Net Income: Decreased 17% to $948 million for the quarter and 7% to $1,711 million for the six months compared to the prior year periods. The decline was primarily driven by lower net investment income due to changes in the fair value of investments in Corebridge and equity securities.
• Underwriting Performance: General Insurance underwriting income increased significantly, driven by lower catastrophe losses ($305 million reduction in the six-month period) and favorable prior year reserve development ($101 million increase in the six-month period).
• Investment Income: Net investment income excluding Fortitude Re funds withheld assets decreased 24% for the quarter and 29% for the six months, largely due to the exit from Corebridge and lower income from alternative investments and mortgage loans.
• Realized Losses: Net realized losses increased to $265 million for the quarter and $400 million for the six months, primarily due to foreign exchange transactions and derivative losses.

Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary

• Strategic Transactions: AIG completed the acquisition of a 35% equity interest in Convex Group Limited for $2.1 billion and a 9.9% stake in Onex Corporation for $642 million in February 2026. AIG also fully divested its remaining interest in Corebridge Financial, Inc. in May 2026, generating approximately $710 million in proceeds.
• Capital Management: The company repurchased approximately 15 million shares of common stock for $1.2 billion during the first six months of 2026. As of July 31, 2026, $2.6 billion remained under the Board's repurchase authorization. A quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share was declared.
• Reserve Development: The company recognized favorable prior year loss reserve development of $172 million for the quarter and $325 million for the six months, driven by U.S. Workers' Compensation and Property lines, partially offset by adverse development in U.S. Excess Casualty.
• Risks and Contingencies: AIG faces ongoing legal proceedings and regulatory investigations. The company maintains a $3.0 billion committed revolving credit facility. Credit ratings remain stable (A- by S&P, Baa1 by Moody's), but downgrades could trigger collateral posting requirements.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• Investment Portfolio Quality: Verify the composition of the $91.7 billion investment portfolio, specifically the $5.7 billion in below investment-grade or unrated fixed maturity securities and the impact of unrealized losses on equity securities.
• Reinsurance Agreements: Review the terms and financial impact of the adverse development reinsurance agreement with National Indemnity Company (NICO) and the funds withheld arrangements with Fortitude Re, which significantly affect realized gains/losses.
• Catastrophe Exposure: Assess the $390 million in catastrophe-related charges for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and the company's reinsurance coverage for future events.
• Commercial Mortgage Loans: Examine the $2.3 billion commercial mortgage loan portfolio, noting the weighted average loan-to-value ratio of 65% and geographic concentrations in California and New York.
• Divestiture Proceeds: Confirm the final accounting treatment and proceeds from the complete divestiture of Corebridge Financial, Inc.
