NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.



“AIG delivered strong profitability and premium growth in the third quarter rounding out an outstanding first nine months of 2026,” said Eric Andersen, AIG President & Chief Executive Officer.

“We continue to make excellent progress toward achieving our 2025 Investor Day financial objectives. In the third quarter, Adjusted after-tax income was $1.1 billion, or $2.06 per diluted share. Core Operating ROE was 11.1% for the quarter and 11.4% for the first nine months of 2026 and adjusted book value per share grew 5% year-over-year.

“Growth was broad-based with net premiums written growing 8% year-over-year, or 10%* excluding North America Property, both on a constant dollar basis, driven by our Global Commercial and Global Personal Insurance businesses. Despite a more challenging market environment, we maintained strong underwriting performance, generating underwriting income of $564 million, with a calendar year combined ratio of 91.3% and an accident year combined ratio, ex-CAT, of 88.4%.

“Our results through the first three quarters of 2026 reinforce our momentum. Compared to the same nine-month period last year, we delivered double-digit top-line growth in premiums, exceeded $2 billion in underwriting income, and improved the combined ratio 140 basis points to 89.2% and the accident year combined ratio, ex-CAT, 50 basis points to 87.7%.

“Overall, this exceptional performance underscores the benefits of our diverse, global portfolio, the consistent execution of our strategy, and our focus on deepening relationships with our clients and partners.

"Our success is a direct reflection of our people. AIG’s depth of talent across every region and line of business is one of our greatest strengths. Because of our colleagues’ hard work and dedication, we are growing profitably and well positioned to build on our strong foundation."

For the third quarter of 2026, Net income attributable to AIG common shareholders was $844 million, or $1.60 per diluted common share, compared to $519 million, or $0.93 per diluted common share, in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to changes in the fair value of AIG's investments as well as higher General Insurance Net investment income, higher earned premiums, strong accident year underwriting results, modestly increased catastrophe losses and lower net realized losses.

AATI was $1.1 billion, or $2.06 per diluted common share, compared to $1.2 billion, or $2.20 per diluted common share in the prior year quarter, reflecting lower underwriting income and lower Other Operations Net investment income.

Total Net investment income for the third quarter of 2026 was $1.1 billion, compared to $772 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to changes in the fair value of AIG's investments and higher income on available for sale fixed maturity securities.

Total Net investment income on an adjusted pre-tax income* (APTI) basis was $1.1 billion, compared to $1.0 billion in the prior year quarter, due to higher General Insurance Net investment income, driven by higher income on available for sale fixed maturity securities.

AIG returned $787 million to shareholders in the third quarter of 2026 through $527 million of common stock repurchases, representing approximately 7 million shares, and $260 million of common stock dividends. On September 24, 2026, AIG issued €625 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Notes Due 2031 and €500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Notes Due 2036, which was equivalent to approximately $1.3 billion in the aggregate. At September 30, 2026, the total debt to total capital ratio was 20.8% and the total debt to total adjusted capital* ratio was 19.6%.

ROE and Core Operating ROE were 8.5% and 11.1%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2026. Book value per share was $74.96 as of September 30, 2026, a decrease of 1% from September 30, 2025. Adjusted book value per share was $81.25 and Adjusted tangible book value per share* was $73.37, both an increase of 5% from September 30, 2025.

On November 3, 2026, the AIG Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on AIG common stock of $0.50 per share. The dividend is payable on December 30, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 16, 2026.

  • Third quarter NPW of $6.7 billion increased 7% from the prior year quarter on a reported basis and 8% on a constant dollar basis, reflecting growth across Global Commercial and Global Personal Insurance businesses. Excluding North America Property lines, General Insurance NPW increased 10%* from the prior year quarter.
  • Underwriting income was $564 million, driven by higher earned premiums, strong accident year underwriting results and modest catastrophe losses. Accident year underwriting income, ex-CAT was $756 million, up 6% from the prior year quarter.
  • Total catastrophe-related charges were $283 million, representing 4.4 loss ratio points, driven by severe convective storms in North America, compared to extraordinarily low catastrophe losses of $100 million, representing 1.6 loss ratio points, in the prior year quarter.
  • Third quarter 2026 included favorable prior year development (PYD), net of reinsurance and prior year premiums, of $91 million, compared to $180 million in the prior year quarter. Favorable development was driven by reserve releases across most lines of business.
  • The combined ratio was 91.3%, compared with 86.8% in the prior year quarter, primarily reflecting higher catastrophe-related charges and lower favorable PYD, partially offset by a lower expense ratio. Accident year combined ratio, as adjusted* (AYCR) was 88.4%, compared with 88.3% in the prior year quarter, reflecting a higher accident year loss ratio, as adjusted* (AYLR), primarily due to changes in business mix, partially offset by a lower expense ratio.
  • General Insurance net investment income was $1.0 billion, up 9% year-over-year, driven by the core fixed income portfolio.

In the first quarter of 2026, AIG realigned and began reporting Amortization of intangible assets in General Insurance from Other Operations; historical results have been recast to reflect these changes.

COMMENT ON REGULATION G AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Throughout this press release, including the financial highlights, AIG presents its financial condition and results of operations in the way it believes will be most meaningful and representative of its business results. Some of the measurements AIG uses are “Non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules and regulations. GAAP is the acronym for generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The non-GAAP financial measures AIG presents are listed below and may not be comparable to similarly-named measures reported by other companies. The reconciliations of such measures to the most comparable GAAP measures in accordance with Regulation G are included within the relevant tables attached to this press release or in the Third Quarter 2026 Financial Supplement available in the Investors section of AIG’s website, www.aig.com.

Unless otherwise mentioned or unless the context indicates otherwise, we use the terms “AIG,” “we,” “us” and “our” to refer to American International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

AIG uses the following operating performance measures because AIG believes they enhance the understanding of the underlying profitability of operations and trends of AIG’s segments. AIG believes they also allow for more meaningful comparisons with AIG’s insurance competitors. When AIG uses these measures, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided on a consolidated basis.

  • Adjusted Pre-tax Income (APTI) is derived by excluding the items set forth below from income before income tax:
  • changes in the fair values of equity securities, AIG's investment in Corebridge and gain/loss on sale of shares;
  • net investment income on Fortitude Re funds withheld assets held by AIG in support of Fortitude Re’s reinsurance obligations to AIG (Fortitude Re funds withheld assets);

  • loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt;
  • all net realized gains and losses except earned income (periodic settlements and changes in settlement accruals) on derivative instruments used for non-qualifying (economic) hedging or for asset replication. Earned income on such economic hedges is reclassified from net realized gains and losses to specific APTI line items based on the economic risk being hedged (e.g. net investment income);
  • income or loss from discontinued operations;
  • net loss reserve discount benefit (charge);
  • net results of businesses in run-off;
  • non-operating pension expenses;
  • net gain or loss on divestitures and other;
