continuing operations and trends of our business segments. We believe they
also allow for more meaningful comparisons with our insurance competitors.
When we use these measures, reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measure are provided, on a consolidated basis. Operating revenue excludes Net realized capital gains (losses), Aircraft leasing revenues, income from legal settlements (included in Other income for GAAP purposes) and changes in fair values of fixed maturity securities designated to hedge living benefit liabilities, net of interest expense
(included in Net investment income for GAAP purposes).
Book Value Per Share Excluding Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) and Book Value Per Share Excluding AOCI and Deferred Tax Assets (DTA) are used to show the amount of our net worth on a per-share basis. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they
eliminate the effect of non-cash items that can fluctuate
significantly from period to period, including changes in fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio, foreign currency translation adjustments and U.S. tax attribute deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets represent U.S. tax attributes related to net operating loss carryforwards and foreign tax credits. Amounts are estimates based on projections of full year attribute utilization.

shareholders equity, excluding AOCI, by Total common shares outstanding. Book Value Per Share Excluding AOCI and DTA is derived by dividing Total AIG shareholders equity, excluding AOCI and DTA, by Total common shares outstanding.
