- General Insurance APTI of
$1.2 billion decreased 11% from the prior year quarter, largely due to the Validus Re divestiture in 2023, or 5% on a comparable basis† , driven by lower underwriting income, partially offset by higher net investment income. - Third quarter 2024 net premiums written (NPW) of
$6.4 billion declined 1% from the prior year quarter on a reported basis primarily as a result of the Validus Re divestiture, but increased 6% on a comparable basis† , driven by 7% growth in Global Commercial and 3% growth inGlobal Personal Insurance . - Underwriting income was
$437 million , a 28% decrease year-over-year including Validus Re, or a 21% decrease on a comparable basis† , due principally to higher catastrophe charges and lower favorable prior year development (PYD), net of reinsurance and prior year premiums. - Total catastrophe-related charges were
$417 million , representing 6.9 loss ratio points, of which$324 million was inNorth America with losses predominantly from windstorms and hailstorms, and$93 million was in International. - Favorable PYD, net of reinsurance and prior year premiums, was
$165 million , representing a 2.6 point loss ratio benefit. The favorable PYD was largely driven by favorable development on short-tail lines in Global Specialty andU.S. Property and Specialty Risks which have performed extremely well and the amortization benefit related to adverse development cover. The strong level of favorable development in those lines was partially offset by unfavorable development inU.S. Excess Casualty andUK /Europe Casualty and Financial Lines. - The combined ratio was 92.6%, compared to 90.2% in the prior year quarter on a comparable basis† . The AYCR was 88.3%, compared to 86.9% in the prior year quarter on a comparable basis†.

- North America Commercial Lines NPW declined 4% from the prior year quarter as a result of the 2023 divestitures, but increased 11% on a comparable basis† . The growth was led by
Retail Casualty and Lexington Insurance , benefiting from robust new business production, which increased 22% year-over-year, strong retention and continued positive rate trends. - The combined ratio was 95.5% and the AYCR was 85.1% in the third quarter. On a comparable basis† , the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted* of 61.8% increased 250 basis points from the prior year quarter. This was driven by a large closeout transaction, which benefitted the overall combined ratio but created a 70 basis point headwind within the loss ratio, as well as a favorable actual vs. expected loss experience in the prior year quarter driven by strong property rate increases that resulted in a headwind of approximately 180 basis points in the year-over-year comparison.

$29 million from the prior year quarter or$40 million sequentially from the second quarter, reflecting the benefits from AIGNext. - AIG interest expense decreased
