AIG Q1 2020 Earnings Report
AIG reported a net income attributable to AIG common shareholders of $1.7 billion for Q1 2020, driven by pre-tax net realized capital gains. The adjusted accident year combined ratio in General Insurance continued to improve, and Life and Retirement delivered solid results despite unfavorable capital markets.
Key Takeaways

The company's core businesses, General Insurance and Life and Retirement, delivered strong results, with General Insurance improving its adjusted accident year combined ratio. However, COVID-19 is expected to be the single largest CAT loss the industry has ever seen.
Net income attributable to AIG common shareholders was $1.7 billion, or $1.98 per diluted common share.
Adjusted after-tax income attributable to AIG common shareholders was $99 million, or $0.11 per diluted common share.
General Insurance reported an adjusted pre-tax income of $501 million, with an underwriting loss of $87 million, impacted by $272 million of estimated COVID-19 related losses.
Life and Retirement reported an adjusted pre-tax income of $574 million, reflecting unfavorable impacts from equity markets.
Forward Guidance
Due to the significant uncertainty created by the COVID-19 crisis, AIG is withdrawing previously issued guidance, including that relating to Adjusted Return on Common Equity. However, the company expects to see continued improvement in General Insurance, particularly in the adjusted combined ratio, and does not believe that the impact of COVID-19 will result in a material reduction of its long-term return profile in Life and Retirement.

- The impact of COVID-19 will not result in a material reduction of our long-term return profile in Life and Retirement.
