Nov 02, 2023 ShareAmerican International Group has published its earnings report for the third quarter of 2023 – a period in which the global insurer delivered “exceptional” financial results, according to chair and chief executive Peter Zaffino (pictured).
Below are the numbers for AIG in the three months ended September 30.
Metric
Q3 2023
Q3 2022
Net income attributable to AIG common shareholders
$2.02 billion
$2.74 billion
Adjusted pre-tax income
$1.87 billion
$920 million
Net investment income
$3.56 billion
$2.67 billion
Adjusted after-tax income (AATI)
$1.16 billion
$644 million
In a release, AIG noted: “The increase in AATI was due to higher underwriting income in general insurance, higher net investment income, and better results in other operations, partially offset by an increase in adjusted income tax expenses as well as an increase in non-controlling interest expense due to the Corebridge secondary offering.”
The company’s general insurance business posted an 82% increase in adjusted pre-tax income for the quarter, while life and retirement saw a 24% jump. Other operations, however, suffered an adjusted pre-tax loss, albeit the figure was smaller compared to the loss a year ago.
Commenting on AIG’s performance, Zaffino said: “In the third quarter, AIG delivered exceptional results driven by continued improvement in underwriting profitability and an outstanding quarter in our commercial lines business with an 81.7% accident year combined ratio, as adjusted.
“This quarter’s adjusted after-tax income per diluted share of $1.61 increased 92% from the prior year quarter. Our relentless focus on our strategic priorities has enabled us to accelerate our execution and generate significant sustainable value for shareholders and other stakeholders.”
Meanwhile AIG also announced the completion of the sale of Validus Re to RenaissanceRe.
“We received total consideration of $3.3 billion in cash, including a pre-closing dividend, and approximately $275 million in RenaissanceRe stock,” Zaffino added. “This sale significantly contributes to our efforts to streamline our business model, simplify our portfolio, and further reduce volatility.”
