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 year ended December 31, 2024 reflect continued strong performance from our Commercial Lines portfolio and focused execution on our portfolio management strategies within Personal Insurance. Across North America Commercial and International Commercial 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 Commercial

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.

General Insurance – International Commercial

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.

General Insurance – Global Personal

Global Personal serves individuals as well as group and corporate clients across a broad range of products, markets, and client profiles. Amid competitive market conditions, we continue to benefit from improved underwriting quality and portfolio diversity, as well as investment in expanded capabilities and strategic distribution partnerships.

Net premiums written decreased by $3.0 billion driven by the sales of AIG Re and CRS, partially offset by growth in Casualty.

Net premiums written increased by $533 million, particularly in AIG Re and Property driven by continued positive rate change, higher renewal retentions and strong new business production, partially offset by decreases in Crop as a consequence of the CRS sale and Financial Lines.

Underwriting income decreased by $807 million primarily due to:

lower net favorable prior year development (2.2 points or $252 million), primarily from Casualty 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, partially offset by Financial Lines which turned favorable and higher favorable development in Property;

higher Catastrophe losses (3.8 points or $187 million); and

the sales of AIG Re and CRS.

This decrease was partially offset by a lower expense ratio (1.6 points) reflecting a lower acquisition ratio (2.9 points), partially offset by an increase in general operating expense ratio (1.3 points), primarily driven by changes in business mix including the impact from the sales of AIG Re and CRS.

Underwriting income increased by $611 million primarily due to:

improvement in the accident year loss ratio, as adjusted (3.3 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix along with continued positive rate change, focused risk selection and improved terms and conditions;

higher net favorable prior year reserve development (3.0 points or $327 million), primarily due to lower unfavorable development in Financial Lines, partially offset by lower favorable development in Casualty; and

lower catastrophe losses (1.0 points or $127 million).

This increase was partially offset by:

a higher expense ratio (1.2 points) reflecting a higher acquisition ratio (0.8 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix as well as an increase in general operating expense ratio (0.4 points).

Net premiums written, excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange ($16 million), increased by $212 million primarily due to growth 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.

Net premiums written, excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange ($79 million), increased by $370 million primarily due to growth in Property and Specialty driven by continued positive rate change and strong new business production, partially offset by a decrease in Financial Lines.

Underwriting income increased by $225 million primarily due to:

net favorable prior year reserve development of $73 million in 2024 compared to net unfavorable prior year reserve development of $140 million in 2023 (2.8 points or $213 million), primarily as a result of Specialty and Property which turned favorable and lower unfavorable development within Casualty, partially offset by Financial Lines development which turned unfavorable; and

lower catastrophe losses (1.0 points or $72 million).

This increase was partially offset by:

a higher expense ratio (1.0 points) reflecting an acquisition ratio (0.5 points) and general operating expense ratio (0.5 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix; and

a higher accident year loss ratio, as adjusted (0.3 points) due to changes in business mix.

Underwriting income decreased by $137 million primarily due to:

net unfavorable prior year reserve development of $140 million in 2023 compared to net favorable development in 2022 of $135 million (3.4 points or $275 million), primarily as a result of lower favorable development in Specialty, unfavorable development in Property and higher unfavorable development in Casualty, partially offset by favorable development in Financial Lines; and

a higher accident year loss ratio, as adjusted (0.2 points) due to changes in business mix.

This decrease was partially offset by:

lower catastrophe losses (1.1 points or $96 million); and

a lower expense ratio (0.3 points) reflecting a lower acquisition ratio (0.9 points) primarily driven by changes in business mix and improved commission terms, partially offset by an increase in the general operating expense ratio (0.6 points).
