AIG posts 2Q loss of $538M on restructuring costs

The insurance giant AIG on Friday reported a $538 million loss in the second quarter due to charges related to selling assets to repay the federal government bailout it received during the financial meltdown.

AIG's adjusted results excluding the charges beat Wall Street expectations as its insurance business improved. Its CEO also said discussions are under way regarding a government exit from its huge stake in the company. Its shares rose in midday trading.

Removing the charges, AIG earned $1.99 per share, up from $1.71 per share last year. That reflected improved performance in its insurance business, despite heavy claims related to the Gulf of Mexico oil rig explosion and subsequent spill, storms and flooding in the U.S. during the quarter and the Icelandic volcano.

"There has certainly been enough damage to the reputation that there was a risk that insurance operations would start to fall apart, and there's no sign of that," Gallant said.

The company's overall loss included $3.42 billion in charges related to the sale of its American Life Insurance Co. unit, or Alico, and its Nan Shan Life Insurance Co. Both are in the process of being sold to help pay back some of the $180 billion in federal bailout funds received in late 2008. The Alico sale to MetLife Inc. should close by the end of the year.

The company said in July it will conduct an initial public offering of AIA, its Asian life insurance unit, on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, after the sale of the company to Britain's Prudential PLC fell through.

AIG also reported $755 million in interest and other charges on its emergency line of credit from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. That was down from $1..
