 said, "AIG had a very good quarter and year. Our worldwide businesses reported strong results and met their goals for the year. Net income for the year 2000 before realized capital gains and losses rose 14.8 percent to a record $5.74 billion, or $2.45 per share. AIG is well positioned in 2001 in our principal markets. The strengthening rate environment across the board, both in the U.S. property-casualty market and in key overseas markets, is a major positive event for our industry and most particularly for AIG.

"Our worldwide general insurance business had a strong quarter. Worldwide net premiums written increased 12.4 percent in the quarter to $4.50 billion, and 8.0 percent to $17.53 billion for the full year. We achieved an adjusted underwriting profit Underwriting profit is a term used in the insurance industry. It consists of the earned premium remaining after losses have been paid and administrative expenses have been deducted. It does not include any investment income earned on held premiums.  of $152.9 million in the fourth quarter and a record $785.0 million for the full year. Our combined ratio for the quarter was 98.81, compared to 98.95 in last year's fourth quarter. For the full year, AIG's combined ratio was 96.73, compared to last year's 96.35.

"We added $106 million to AIG's general insurance net loss and loss adjustment reserves for the quarter, and together with the acquisition of HSB (Hue Saturation Brightness) A color space that is similar to the way an artist mixes colors by adding black and white to pure pigments.

 products and services tailored to the changing needs of our customers. Stronger rates are evident across virtually all classes of business, and we believe rates will continue to firm. Nonetheless, it bears repeating that commercial insurance rates have experienced a steady decline over the past decade, eroding the financial strength and balance sheets of many companies. Therefore, continued broad rate increases are essential to the future health of our industry.

"AIG's domestic personal lines business did not meet our expectations, but relative to the market, performed satisfactorily. For the year 2000, net premiums written increased 16.1 percent to $2.51 billion. Virtually all companies in this market have been increasing rates during the year, and AIG has filed for rate increases in all states where we offer personal lines products. We expect to see these rate increases reflected in operating results toward mid-year, barring any unforeseen catastrophes.
