BUSINESS STRATEGY

Profitable Growth: Build on our high-quality portfolio by focusing on targeted growth through continued underwriting discipline, improved retentions and new business development. Deploy capital efficiently to act opportunistically and achieve growth in profitable lines, geographies and customer segments, while taking a disciplined underwriting approach to exposure management, terms and conditions and rate change to achieve our risk/return hurdles. Continue to be open to inorganic growth opportunities in profitable markets and segments to expand our capabilities and footprint.

Underwriting Excellence: Continue to enhance portfolio optimization through strength of underwriting framework and guidelines as well as clear communication of risk appetite and rate adequacy. Empower and increase accountability of the underwriter and continue to integrate underwriting, claims and actuarial to enable better decision making. Focus on enhancing risk selection, driving consistent underwriting best practices and building robust monitoring standards to improve underwriting results.

Reinsurance Optimization: Strategically partner with reinsurers to effectively manage exposure to losses arising from frequency of large catastrophic events and severity from individual risk losses. We strive to optimize our reinsurance program to manage volatility and protect the balance sheet from tail events and unpredictable net losses in support of our profitable growth objectives.

COMPETITION AND CHALLENGES

General Insurance operates in a highly competitive industry against global, national and local insurers and reinsurers and underwriting syndicates in specific market areas and product types. Insurance companies compete through a combination of risk acceptance criteria, product pricing, service levels and terms and conditions. We serve our business and individual customers on a global basis – from the largest multinational corporations to local businesses and individuals. General Insurance seeks to differentiate itself in the markets where we participate by providing leading expertise and insight to clients, distribution partners and other stakeholders, delivering underwriting excellence and value-driven insurance solutions and providing high quality, tailored end-to-end support to stakeholders. In doing so, we leverage our world-class global franchise, multinational capabilities, balance sheet strength and financial flexibility.

Our challenges include:

ensuring adequate business pricing given passage of time to reporting and settlement for insurance business, particularly with respect to long-tail Commercial Lines exposures;

impact of social and economic inflation on claim frequency and severity; and

volatility in claims arising from natural and man-made catastrophes and other aggregations of risk exposure.

INDUSTRY AND ECONOMIC FACTORS

The results of General Insurance for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 reflect continued strong performance from our Commercial Lines portfolio and focused execution on our portfolio management strategies within Personal Insurance. Across our North America and International Commercial Lines of business we have seen increased demand for our insurance products and strong growth in new business. We continue to monitor the impact of inflation and other economic factors on rate adequacy and loss cost trends. Similarly, we are monitoring monetary policy actions taken or anticipated to be taken by central banks and the corresponding impact on market interest rates.

General Insurance – North America

North America Commercial continues to pursue profitable growth. While market discipline continues to support price increases across most lines, we are seeing capacity move back into the market in certain segments given pricing levels which is putting pressure on rates. We have focused on retaining our best accounts which has led to strong retention across the portfolio. These retention rates are often coupled with an exposure limit management strategy to reduce volatility within the portfolio. We continue to proactively identify segment growth areas as market conditions warrant through effective portfolio management, while non-renewing unprofitable business.

AIG | Third Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q73

Personal Insurance growth prospects are supported by the need for full life cycle products and coverage, increases in personal wealth accumulation, and awareness of insurance protection and risk management. We compete in the high net worth market, accident and health insurance, travel insurance, and warranty services.

General Insurance – International

We are continuing to pursue growth in our most profitable lines of business and diversify our portfolio across all regions by expanding key business lines while remaining a market leader in key developed and developing markets. We are maintaining our underwriting discipline, reducing gross and net limits where appropriate, utilizing reinsurance to reduce volatility, as well as continuing our risk selection strategy to improve profitability.

Personal Insurance focuses on individual customers, as well as group and corporate clients. Although market competition within Personal Insurance has increased, we continue to benefit from underwriting quality and portfolio diversity.

Business and Financial Highlights

Net Premiums Written Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Net premiums written decreased by $74 million due to a decline in Commercial Lines ($99 million), primarily driven by the sale of AIG Re, partially offset by growth in Casualty driven by pricing levels and new business production. This decline in Commercial Lines was partially offset by higher production in Personal Insurance ($25 million), particularly in PCS driven by positive rate change and new business production.

Net Premiums Written Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Net premiums written decreased by $3.0 billion due to a decline in Commercial Lines ($3.1 billion), driven by the sales of AIG Re and CRS.

Underwriting Income (Loss) Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Underwriting income decreased by $198 million primarily due to:

lower net favorable prior year development (3.2 points or $128 million), with higher favorable development from Property and Financial Lines, while Casualty turned unfavorable driven by a large settlement of a legacy mass tort claim with most of the gross loss in accident years covered under the Adverse Development Cover; and

the sale of AIG Re.

This decrease was partially offset by portfolio growth.

Underwriting Income (Loss) Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Underwriting income decreased by $462 million primarily due to:

lower net favorable prior year development (2.4 points or $259 million), primarily from Casualty development which turned unfavorable driven by a large settlement of a legacy mass tort claim with most of the gross loss in accident years covered under the Adverse Development Cover; and

the sales of AIG Re and Crop Risk Services.

This decrease was partially offset by improved portfolio performance and growth.

Business and Financial Highlights

Net Premiums Written Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Net premiums written, excluding the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange ($76 million), increased by $68 million due to:

growth in Commercial Lines ($34 million), notably in Specialty and Property driven by strength of renewal retentions and new business production, partially offset by the sale of AIG Re and lower production in Financial Lines; and

growth in Personal Insurance ($34 million) driven by Personal Auto.

Net Premiums Written Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Net premiums written, excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange ($250 million), increased by $144 million primarily due to:

growth in Personal Insurance ($85 million) driven by Personal Auto and Travel, partially offset by lower production in Warranty; and

growth in Commercial Lines ($59 million), notably in Property, Specialty and Casualty driven by strength of renewal retentions and new business production, partially offset by the sale of AIG Re and lower production in Financial Lines.

Underwriting Income (Loss) Comparison for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Underwriting income increased by $24 million primarily due to:

net favorable prior year reserve development of $102 million in 2024 compared to net favorable prior year reserve development in 2023 of $19 million (2.8 points or $83 million), with higher favorable development in Specialty, and Property development which turned favorable, partially offset by Financial Lines development which turned unfavorable, and higher unfavorable development within Casualty driven by claim-specific emergence in European Excess Casualty on accident year 2016.

This increase was partially offset by a higher expense ratio (1.3 points) reflecting a higher acquisition ratio (0.9 points) and general operating expense ratio (0.4 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix.

Underwriting Income (Loss) Comparison for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Underwriting income increased by $218 million primarily due to:

net favorable prior year reserve development of $112 million in 2024 compared to net unfavorable prior year reserve development in 2023 of $65 million (1.9 points or $177 million), primarily as a result of higher favorable development in Specialty, and Property which turned favorable, partially offset by Financial Lines development which turned unfavorable, and higher unfavorable development within Casualty driven by claim-specific emergence in European Excess Casualty on accident year 2016; and

lower catastrophe losses (0.5 points or $59 million).
