Question · Q4 2025
Elise Greenspan asked about the expense ratio, specifically how the improvement towards the 2027 target of sub-30% would be split between 2026 and 2027, given the 31.1% for 2025. She also sought confirmation on the capital management plan, specifically if the $1 billion minimum share repurchase is a baseline, with Corebridge proceeds being additional.
Answer
Peter Zaffino, Chairman and CEO, AIG, stated that the 2025 expense ratio was largely due to parent expenses being absorbed by the business, a headwind that will not be present in 2026. He expects meaningful and more predictable improvement in 2026, reaffirming confidence in reaching the sub-30% target by 2027 through expense discipline and leverage from strong premium growth. Keith Walsh, CFO, AIG, confirmed that the $1 billion share repurchase is a baseline, and the vast majority of Corebridge proceeds will be deployed into additional share repurchases.
