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 $102 million, $289 million and $(158) million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Net Loss Development – 2025
In the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized favorable prior year loss reserve development of $548 million, primarily driven by:
North America Commercial
Favorable development in U.S. Workers’ Compensation primarily driven by favorable experience within Excess of Loss Sensitive offset by adverse development within Primary Guaranteed Cost and Defense Base Act business.
Favorable development in Other Product Lines, reflecting favorable experience in several lines, most notably short-tail Property.
Favorable development in U.S. Property and Special Risks primarily driven by U.S. Property and Programs.
Adverse development in U.S. Excess Casualty primarily driven by unfavorable development in Mass Tort.
Benefit from the amortization of the deferred gain on the adverse development cover.
International Commercial
Favorable development in Other Product Lines, primarily due to development in Global Specialty, notably within Energy and Trade Credit, as well as development in short-tail Property.
Adverse development in UK/Europe Casualty and Financial Lines driven by UK Financial Lines, and EMEA Casualty, particularly within Auto and General Liability lines, partially offset by favorable development in EMEA Financial Lines.
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 – 2024
In the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized favorable prior year loss reserve development of $367 million, primarily driven by:
North America Commercial
Favorable development on our U.S. Workers' Compensation reflecting continued favorable loss experience.
Adverse development on U.S. Excess Casualty driven by a large settlement of a legacy mass tort claim with the gross loss in accident years covered under the Adverse Development Cover and increased reserves related to claims emergence.
Adverse development on U.S. Property and Special Risks reflecting development on prior year catastrophes offset by favorable loss experience in Retail and Wholesale Property.
Favorable development on U.S. Financial Lines, reflecting favorable experience across most reserving classes, offset by unfavorable development in M&A and High Excess classes.
Favorable development on U.S. Other Casualty, reflecting favorability across numerous Casualty reserving classes, partially offset by unfavorable development on Commercial Auto and Wholesale Primary General Liability.
Amortization benefit related to the deferred gain on the adverse development cover.
International Commercial
Favorable development on Other Product Lines, primarily driven by Global Specialty which saw favorable development across multiple lines.
Adverse development on UK/Europe Casualty and Financial Lines driven by unfavorable development in UK Financial Lines partially offset by favorable development in EMEA Financial Lines, and unfavorable development in European Excess Casualty driven by claim-specific emergence on accident year 2016.
Favorable development on UK/Europe Property and Special Risks reflecting favorable development across most segments and geographies.
Global Personal
Favorable development on UK/Europe and Japan Personal Insurance primarily driven by Japan A&H and Auto, partially offset by unfavorable development in Personal Auto in EMEA.
Favorable development in U.S. Personal Insurance and Other Product Lines due to favorable development on prior year catastrophes across several events, primarily in the 2019-2023 accident years.
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.
For information regarding the 2023 net loss development, see Part II, Item 7. MD&A – Insurance Reserves – Loss Reserves in the 2024 Annual Report.
Significant Reinsurance Agreements
NICO
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 2026, see Part II, Item 7. MD&A – Enterprise Risk Management – Insurance Risk – 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.

| Attachment point | (25,000) | (25,000) | (25,000) |
| Covered losses above attachment point | $16,495 | $16,368 | $16,006 |
| Deferred Gain Development | |||
| Covered losses above attachment ceded to NICO (80%) | $13,196 | $13,094 | $12,805 |
| Consideration paid including interest | (10,188) | (10,188) | (10,188) |

| Inception to date amortization attributed to changes in deferred gain(b) | (156) | (122) | 64 |
| Deferred gain liability reflected in AIG's balance sheet | $273 | $284 | $149 |
(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) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Balance at beginning of year, net of discount | $284 | $149 | $205 |
| (Favorable) unfavorable prior year reserve development ceded to NICO(a) | 102 | 289 | (158) |
| Amortization attributed to deferred gain at inception(b) | (124) | (136) | (164) |
| Amortization attributed to changes in deferred gain(c) | (34) | (186) | 116 |
| Changes in discount on ceded loss reserves | 45 | 168 | 150 |
| Balance at end of year, net of discount | $273 | $284 | $149 |
(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 both favorable and unfavorable prior year development. This agreement will continue to reduce the impact of volatility in the development on our ultimate loss estimates over time.
Fortitude Re
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, 2025, $3.2 billion of reserves related to business written by multiple wholly-owned AIG subsidiaries had been ceded to Fortitude Re under these reinsurance transactions.
