 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

    AIG reports the results of its operations through three reportable segments: Chartis, SunAmerica Financial Group (SunAmerica) and Aircraft Leasing. AIG evaluates performance based on pre-tax income (loss), excluding results from discontinued operations and net (gains) losses on sales of divested businesses, because AIG believes this provides more meaningful information on how its operations are performing.

    In order to align financial reporting with changes made during 2011 to the manner in which AIG's chief operating decision makers review the businesses to assess performance and make decisions about resources to be allocated, the following changes were made to AIG's segment information:

  • During the third quarter of 2011, Chartis completed the previously-announced reorganization of its operations and now presents its financial information in two operating segments — Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance, as well as a Chartis Other operations category. Prior to the third quarter of 2011, Chartis presented its financial information in two operating segments, Chartis U.S. and Chartis International.

    Aircraft Leasing is now presented as a standalone reportable segment. It was previously reported as a component of the Financial Services reportable segment.

    The derivatives portfolio of AIGFP, previously reported as Capital Markets, a component of the Financial Services reportable segment, is now reported with AIG Markets, Inc. (AIG Markets) as Global Capital Markets in AIG's Other operations.

    Prior periods have been revised to conform to the current period presentation for the above segment changes.

    The reportable segments and their respective operations are as follows:

    Chartis:    AIG's property and casualty operations are conducted through multiple-line companies writing substantially all commercial and consumer lines both domestically and abroad. Chartis offers its products through a diverse, multi-channel distribution network that includes agents, wholesalers, global and local brokers, and direct-to-consumer platforms. Beginning in the third quarter of 2010, Chartis includes the results of Fuji Fire & Marine Insurance Company Limited (Fuji), which writes primarily consumer lines in Japan. See Note 5 herein.

    SunAmerica:    SunAmerica offers a comprehensive suite of products and services to individuals and groups, including term life insurance, universal life insurance, accident and health (A&H) insurance, fixed and variable deferred annuities, fixed payout annuities, mutual funds and financial planning. SunAmerica offers its products and services through a diverse, multi-channel distribution network that includes banks, national, regional and independent broker-dealers, affiliated financial advisors, independent marketing organizations, independent and career insurance agents, structured settlement brokers, benefit consultants and direct-to-consumer platforms.

    The SunAmerica segment is presented as two operating segments — Domestic Life Insurance, which focuses on mortality and morbidity based protection products, and Domestic Retirement Services, which focuses on investment, retirement savings and income solutions.

    Aircraft Leasing:    AIG's commercial aircraft leasing business is conducted through ILFC.

    Other Operations:    AIG's Other operations include results from:

  • Mortgage Guaranty operations;

    Global Capital Markets operations;

    Direct Investment book results;

    Retained Interests, which represents the fair value gains or losses on the AIA ordinary shares retained following the AIA initial public offering, the retained interest in ML III, and, prior to their sale on March 8, 2011, the MetLife securities that were received as consideration from the sale of ALICO;

    Corporate & Other operations (after allocations to AIG's business segments); and

    Divested businesses that did not qualify for discontinued operations accounting.

    Year-end identifiable assets presented in the following tables include assets of businesses held for sale at December 31, 2010 and 2009.

    Chartis manages its assets on an aggregate basis and does not allocate its assets, other than goodwill, between its operating segments. Investment income is allocated to the Commercial Insurance and Consumer Insurance segments based upon an internal capital model. The model estimates investable funds based upon the loss reserves, unearned premiums and a capital allocation for each operating segment. The investment income is calculated based on the estimated investable funds and the duration of the liabilities. Any difference between the calculated investment income and the actual investment income is included in Chartis Other.
