*Includes the amortization attributed to the deferred gain at inception from the National Indemnity Company (NICO) adverse development reinsurance agreement of $164 million, $167 million and $193 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Consistent with our definition of APTI, the amount excludes the portion of (favorable)/unfavorable prior year reserve development for which we have ceded the risk under the NICO reinsurance agreements of $(158) million, $(174) million and $(249) million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Also excludes the related changes in amortization of the deferred gain, which were $(83) million, $85 million and $(3) million over those same periods.

Net Loss Development – 2023

In the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we recognized favorable prior year loss reserve development of $398 million. The key components of this development were:

Favorable development on U.S. Workers' Compensation business reflecting a continuation of favorable loss cost trends in guaranteed cost and excess segments across most accident years.

Favorable development in U.S. Excess Casualty driven by favorable development on the Excess Construction Runoff Portfolio.

Favorable development in U.S. Other Casualty reflecting favorable experience in construction defect and construction wraps as well as guaranteed cost auto and general liability.

Favorable development in U.S. Property and Special risks reflecting favorable development on prior year catastrophes in the 2017-2021 accident years, offset by adverse development on prior year catastrophes in the 2022 accident year.

Unfavorable development in U.S. Financial Lines due to unfavorable development on High Attaching Excess D&O, M&A, Primary National D&O, Cyber data privacy claims, and Architects & Engineers, partially offset by favorable development on Primary Private Not for Profit D&O and Financial Institutions D&O.

Favorable development in U.S. Personal Insurance due to favorable development on prior year catastrophes across several events primarily in the 2017-2020 accident years.

Unfavorable development in UK/Europe Casualty and Financial Lines reflecting unfavorable development in auto liability in Europe and UK and in UK D&O and Commercial Professional Indemnity business, partially offset by favorable development in Financial Institutions Professional Indemnity and D&O in Europe and UK and Cyber and Commercial Personal Indemnity in Europe.

Unfavorable development in UK/Europe Property and Special Risks driven by unfavorable development on prior year catastrophes.

Favorable development on Japan Professional Indemnity driven by personal auto and A&H business.

Favorable development in Other product lines driven primarily by Global Specialty.

Our analyses and conclusions about prior year reserves also help inform our judgments about the current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense ratios we selected.

For additional information on prior year development by line of business, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. For information regarding actuarial methods employed for major classes of business, see Critical Accounting Estimates.

Net Loss Development – 2022

In the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, we recognized favorable prior year loss reserve development of $523 million. The key components of this development were:

Favorable development in U.S Workers' Compensation reflecting continued favorable loss experience across most accident years particularly for excess and guaranteed cost segments.

Favorable development in U.S. Excess Casualty particularly in lead and mid-excess retail segments.

Favorable development in U.S. Other Casualty in the Commercial Auto, General Liability and Construction Wraps business.

Unfavorable development driven by U.S. Financial Lines driven by unfavorable severity trends in Excess and Primary D&O and Excess and Financial Institutions Errors and Omissions (E&O), partially offset by favorable results in Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI).

Favorable development on Global Specialty across all products in all regions.

Favorable development in International Personal Lines particularly with Auto and A&H coverages in Japan as well as favorable experience recognized in Europe and the UK.

Unfavorable development in Casualty in Europe Excess Casualty and French Auto as well as large loss experience in the UK, partially offset by favorable experience in Asia Pacific Casualty.

Unfavorable development in Financial Lines primarily in the UK for M&A, Commercial PI and Commercial D&O.

Net Loss Development – 2021

In the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, we recognized favorable prior year loss reserve development of $115 million. The key components of this development were:

Strong favorable development in Personal Insurance, primarily attributable to subrogation recovery related to the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires partially offset by the impact of dropping below the attachment point of our 2018 catastrophe aggregate treaty, which also adversely impacted our U.S. Property and Special Risk Commercial Lines.

Favorable development on U.S. Workers' Compensation and short-tailed commercial lines within Other Product Lines, reflecting lower frequency and severity in recent calendar years.

Reserve strengthening within U.S. Financial Lines, reflecting higher severity of claims in Directors & Officers, principally from accident years 2018 and prior, and cyber risk from accident years 2019 and 2020.

Favorable development on short-tailed International Commercial Lines and Personal Insurance, reflecting lower frequency and severity of claims.

Reserve strengthening on International Financial Lines, reflecting higher severity of claims, the majority of which is from accident years 2018 and prior.

Other Operations

Unfavorable development primarily attributed to the Blackboard insurance portfolio due to increased severity on reported claims.

We note that for certain categories of claims (e.g., construction defect claims and environmental claims) and for reinsurance recoverable, losses may sometimes be reclassified to an earlier or later accident year as more information about the date of occurrence becomes available to us.

Significant Reinsurance Agreements

In the first quarter of 2017, we entered into an adverse development reinsurance agreement with NICO, under which we transferred to NICO 80 percent of the reserve risk on substantially all of our U.S. Commercial long-tail exposures for accident years 2015 and prior. Under this agreement, we ceded to NICO 80 percent of the losses on subject business paid on or after January 1, 2016 in excess of $25 billion of net paid losses, up to an aggregate limit of $25 billion. We account for this transaction as retroactive reinsurance. This transaction resulted in a gain, which under GAAP retroactive reinsurance accounting is deferred and amortized into income over the settlement period. NICO created a collateral trust account as security for their claim payment obligations to us, into which they deposited the consideration paid under the agreement, and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has provided a parental guarantee to secure NICO’s obligations under the agreement.

For a description of AIG’s catastrophe reinsurance protection for 2023, see Enterprise Risk Management – Insurance Risks – General Insurance Companies’ Key Risks – Natural Catastrophe Risk.

The table below shows the calculation of the deferred gain on the adverse development reinsurance agreement, the effect of discounting of loss reserves and amortization of the deferred gain.

(a)The accretion of discount and a reduction in effective interest rates is offset by changes in estimates of the amount and timing of future recoveries.

(b)Excluded from APTI.

The following table presents the rollforward of activity in the deferred gain from the adverse development reinsurance agreement:

Years Ended December 31,
(in millions)202320222021
Balance at beginning of year, net of discount$205$869$1,297
(Favorable) unfavorable prior year reserve development ceded to NICO(a)(158)(174)(249)
Amortization attributed to deferred gain at inception(b)(164)(167)(193)
Amortization attributed to changes in deferred gain(c)116(22)56
Changes in discount on ceded loss reserves150(301)(42)
Balance at end of year, net of discount$149$205$869

(a)Prior year reserve development ceded to NICO under the retroactive reinsurance agreement is deferred under GAAP.

(b)Represents amortization of the deferred gain recognized in APTI.

(c)Excluded from APTI.

The lines of business subject to this agreement include those with longer tails, which carry a higher degree of uncertainty. Since inception, there have been periods of unfavorable prior year development, with more recent favorable development. This agreement will continue to reduce the impact of volatility in the development on our ultimate loss estimates over time. The agreement has resulted in lower capital charges for reserve risks at our U.S. insurance subsidiaries. In addition, net investment income declined as a result of lower invested assets.

Fortitude Re was established during the first quarter of 2018 in a series of reinsurance transactions related to our run-off operations. Those reinsurance transactions were designed to consolidate most of our insurance run-off lines into a single legal entity. As of December 31, 2023, approximately $27.6 billion of reserves from our Life and Retirement Run-Off Lines and approximately $3.0 billion of reserves from our General Insurance Run-Off Lines related to business written by multiple wholly-owned AIG subsidiaries, had been ceded to Fortitude Re under these reinsurance transactions.
