Insurance major AIG has posted net income attributable to its common shareholders of $459m in Q3 2024, compared with $2.02bn during the same year-ago period.

Net income per diluted share attributable to AIG common shareholders was $0.71, a stark contrast to the $2.81 per share in the prior year’s quarter.

The company attributed the decline to a reduction in net income from discontinued operations following the deconsolidation of Corebridge.

In Q2 2024, AIG reported an attributable net loss of $3.98bn. 

Q3 also saw a slight decrease in net premiums written, down by 1% to $6.46bn from $6.38bn in the previous year, largely due to the divestiture of Validus Re.

Despite the drop in net premiums written, AIG experienced a 6% increase on a comparable basis, bolstered by a 7% growth in Global Commercial and a 3% growth in Global Personal Insurance.
