3. Segment Information

We report our results of operations consistent with the manner in which our chief operating decision makers review the business to assess performance and allocate resources.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, we finalized our plan to reorganize our operating model. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2017, we reported our results as follows:

  • Commercial Insurance business included our Liability and Financial Lines and Property and Special Risks operating segments;
  • Consumer Insurance business included our Individual Retirement, Group Retirement, Life Insurance and Personal Insurance operating segments
  • Other Operations category consisted of businesses and items not allocated to our operating segments, including Institutional Markets, United Guaranty and Fuji Life.
  • Legacy Portfolio segment consisted of Legacy Insurance Lines representing exited or discontinued product lines, policy forms or distribution channels.

We now report our results of operations as follows:

  • North America — consists of insurance businesses in the United States, Canada and Bermuda.

Legacy Portfolio

The Legacy Portfolio segment consists of:

Legacy Insurance Lines represent exited or discontinued product lines, policy forms or distribution channels.

  • Legacy General Insurance Run-Off Lines — consists of asbestos and environmental exposures and other exposures within certain Property and Casualty profit centers no longer actively marketed, including excess workers’ compensation, environmental impairment liability, public entity liability, accident & health, physicians and surgeons professional liability, and various other workers’ compensation and general liability exposures.

  • Legacy Investments — include investment classes that we have placed into run-off.

On December 31, 2016, we completed the sale of United Guaranty to Arch. See Note 1 for a further discussion.

In the second quarter of 2015, a United Guaranty subsidiary and certain of our General Insurance companies entered into a 50 percent quota share reinsurance agreement whereby the United Guaranty subsidiary (1) ceded 50 percent of the risk relating to policies written in 2014 that were current as of January 1, 2015 and (2) ceded 50 percent of the risk relating to all policies written in 2015 and 2016, each in exchange for a 30 percent ceding commission and reimbursements of 50 percent of the losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred on covered policies. Beginning in the third quarter of 2016, the effect of this intercompany reinsurance arrangements is included in the results of Property and Special Risks and Other Operations for all periods presented. Previously, this arrangement was eliminated for purposes of segment reporting. Concurrent with the closing of the sale of United Guaranty, we amended and restated this arrangement and expect the results of this arrangement to continue to be reported in Property and Special Risks.

Investment income of the General Insurance companies is attributed to the North America and International operating segments based on an internal investment income allocation model. The model estimates investable funds based primarily on loss reserves and unearned premiums. Investment income of the Life and Retirement companies is attributed to the Individual Retirement, Group Retirement, Life Insurance and Institutional Markets operating segments as well as the Legacy Life and Retirement Run-Off Lines based on invested assets in segregated product line portfolios; income from invested assets in excess of liabilities is allocated to product lines based on internal capital estimates.

We evaluate segment performance based on adjusted revenues and adjusted pre-tax income (loss). Adjusted revenues and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) are derived by excluding certain items from total revenues and net income (loss) attributable to AIG, respectively. For the items excluded from adjusted revenues and adjusted pre-tax income (loss) see the table below.
