FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- On
November 1, 2023 , AIG closed the sale of Validus Re. As a result of this sale, only one month of activity of Validus Re was included inGeneral Insurance fourth quarter 2023 results, compared to a full quarter in 2022. - General Insurance APTI of
$1.4 billion increased$225 million from the prior year quarter, driven by higher net investment income, improved accident year losses and lower catastrophe-related charges, partially offset by lower favorable prior year development (PYD) and higher general operating expenses (GOE). - Fourth quarter 2023 NPW of
$5.8 billion increased 3% from the prior year quarter, or 7% on a comparable basis† , driven by 5% growth in Commercial Lines and 9% growth inPersonal Insurance . North America Commercial Lines NPW declined 7% from the prior year quarter on a reported basis, but grew 5% on a comparable basis† , reflecting continued positive rate changes, higher renewal retentions and strong new business production inLexington , Retail Property and Casualty, partially offset by a decline in Financial Lines premiums reflecting our continued underwriting discipline. International Commercial Lines delivered 8% NPW growth from the prior year quarter, or 6% on a comparable basis† , attributable to continued rate increases, strong renewal retention, and robust new business production in Property and Global Specialty, partially offset by a decrease in Financial Lines.

$7 million from the prior year quarter to$642 million , and included$122 million of total catastrophe-related charges, representing 2.1 loss ratio points, of which$54 million was inNorth America and$68 million in International. Fourth quarter 2023 underwriting also included favorable PYD, net of reinsurance, of$69 million compared to favorable PYD, net of reinsurance, of$151 million in the prior year quarter. The amortization of the adverse development cover totaled$41 million in the fourth quarter 2023, flat with the fourth quarter 2022. - The combined ratio improved 0.8 points from the prior year quarter to 89.1%, driven by a 2.0 point decrease in the loss ratio to 56.5%. The AYCR improved 0.5 points from the prior year quarter to 87.9%, driven by a 1.7 point decrease in the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted* (AYLR) to 55.3%, reflecting continued earn-in of premium rate increases in excess of loss cost trends and continued benefit from the business mix shift. The expense ratio was 32.6%, a 1.2 point increase from the prior year quarter, largely from an increase in GOE ratio.
- The North America Commercial Lines combined ratio increased 0.7 points from the prior year quarter to 85.1%, driven by lower favorable PYD and a higher GOE ratio. The AYCR improved 1.6 points to 84.3%, driven by a 2.7 point improvement in the AYLR to 60.3%.
- International Commercial Lines combined ratio improved 3.9 points from the prior year quarter to 85.5%, driven by lower catastrophe losses and an improvement in the acquisition ratio, mainly attributable to changes in the business mix and improved commission terms. The AYCR improved 1.3 points to 80.3%, primarily driven by the improvement in acquisition ratio.
The North America Personal Insurance combined ratio improved 0.7 points from the prior year quarter to 101.8% and the AYCR increased 4.1 points to 109.4%, primarily driven by an increase in AYLR due to changes in business mix.The International Personal Insurance combined ratio improved 1.2 points from the prior year quarter to 97.7%, driven by a 3.9 point improvement in the loss ratio, partially offset by a 2.7 point increase in the expense ratio. The AYCR increased 0.2 points to 99.1% as the 2.5 point improvement in the AYLR was offset by the higher GOE ratio.- Net investment income on an APTI basis was
$795 million , an increase of 38% from the prior year quarter driven by higher income from fixed maturity securities and loans.

Life and Retirement
- In the fourth quarter 2023, AIG completed two secondary offerings of Corebridge common stock, receiving proceeds of
$1.7 billion and reducing AIG's ownership to 52.2%. L&R results are presented before the impact of non-controlling interests on AATI. L&R's contribution to AATI was$362 million , a decrease from$494 million in the prior year quarter. - L&R APTI increased
$105 million from the prior year quarter to$957 million . The increase was primarily due to higher base portfolio spread income as a result of higher base portfolio yields, partially offset by lower alternative investment income and higher mortality in the Life Insurance segment. Base net investment spreads in Individual and Group Retirement continued to widen with a 23 basis point combined improvement year-over-year. - Premiums grew 19% from the prior year quarter to
$2.5 billion due to higher pension risk transfer volumes. Premiums and deposits* increased 20% to$10.6 billion . Fixed and Fixed Index Annuities sales for the quarter were up 55% and Institutional Markets also had strong sales, supported by$1.9 billion of pension risk transfer transactions, partially offset by lower sales of Variable Annuities. - Net investment income on an APTI basis was
$2.6 billion , an increase of 15% from the prior year quarter driven by higher income from fixed maturity securities and loans.

Other Operations
- Corporate and Other APTL, excluding Corebridge, improved
$121 million from the prior year quarter, largely due to higher income on parent short-term investments, lower general operating expenses and lower AIG interest expenses driven by debt reduction in 2023. - Corebridge Other Operations APTL deteriorated
$65 million from the prior year quarter. This was driven by theAsset Management Group , which includes the consolidated results of Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), recording a$97 million increase in APTL from the prior year quarter, largely due to lower interest income and net losses associated with VIEs compared to net gains in the prior year quarter. Corebridge Corporate general operating expenses and interest expenses remained relatively flat compared to the prior year quarter.
